Rebranding to 01 Quantum Inc. Completed
Commercial Deployments Underway
Revenue Growth - Q4 2025
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 22, 2026) - 01 Quantum Inc., formerly 01 Communique Laboratory Inc., (TSXV: ONE) (OTCQB: OONEF) ("01 Quantum" or the "Company"), one of the first-to-market, enterprise level cybersecurity providers for the quantum computing era, is pleased to report the Company's fourth quarter and annual results for the year ended October 31, 2025.
"We made significant progress in our PQC initiatives during 2025," said Andrew Cheung, CEO of 01 Quantum. "Our work with partners, the expansion of our product verticals, and the technical milestones reached during the year demonstrate the versatility of our technology and the commitment of our team. The financings completed during the year strengthened our financial position and enabled us to advance development activities across several important areas. As we enter 2026, we believe the Company is well positioned to capitalize on the growing interest in quantum-resilient cybersecurity solutions."
Corporate Developments:
During fiscal 2025, the Company advanced a broad range of initiatives across its Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) product verticals, strategic partnerships, and commercialization efforts. These developments reflect meaningful progress in expanding the applicability of the Company's technologies and supporting partner-driven deployment opportunities.
1. Quantum-Safe Remote Access – DoMobile Ver.5 commercially available.
In conjunction with Hitachi Solutions Create, Ltd. ("HSC") the Company developed a PQC-enhanced zero-trust remote access platform for the Japanese market. This culminated in the commercial release, as previously announced on January 15, 2026, of DoMobile Ver.5 a remote access platform integrating PQC into its public key cryptography framework, protecting users from emerging threats such as HNDL attacks and ensuring long-term confidentiality.
The commercial structure includes upfront development fees, along with ongoing royalties.
2. Quantum-Safe Digital Assets – qONE launching February 2026.
The Company entered into a strategic alliance with qLABS Foundation, under which 01 Quantum was engaged as qLABS's Subject Matter Expert (SME) to develop quantum-safe tokens designed to run natively on existing blockchains such as Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL). As part of this engagement, the Company developed its Quantum Crypto Wrapper (QCW) and Quantum DeFi Wrapper (QDW) technologies.
QCW pairs zero-knowledge proofs with IronCAP™'s NIST-approved PQC, enabling quantum-resistant transactions on existing blockchains without requiring a new Layer 1 chain or validator network. QDW acts as a quantum-safe circuit breaker for smart contracts by requiring a valid PQC signature before execution, helping protect Layer 1 tokens in scenarios where elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) signatures may no longer be reliable before or after a potential "Q-Day."
Using these technologies, 01 Quantum and qLABS created qONE, the first quantum-resistant token and wallet on Hyperliquid (HYPE), with launch targeted for early February, 2026. As a natural extension, the Company also developed a protocol of using qONE as a "Quantum Gas Fee" utility token, allowing users to quantum-lock and unlock existing holdings across HYPE, Ethereum, Solana, and other chains supporting smart contracts. Launch is planned for the March/April timeframe.
The commercial structure for this vertical includes upfront development fees, along with ongoing royalties and token-sharing arrangements.
3. Quantum-Safe AI Models – Commercial availability targeting SML's in first phase.
Development continued on the Company's Quantum AI Wrapper (QAW), designed to enable encrypted AI inference using full homomorphic encryption (FHE). When paired with IronCAP™, QAW forms a fully quantum-safe AI service-pipeline designed to withstand today's cyber threats while future-proofing AI prompts and workloads against emerging quantum attacks.
This approach ensures both the user data and AI model remain fully encrypted at all times. The model processes only encrypted prompts and returns encrypted responses, so nothing is ever revealed, not even to the platform operator.
Commercial availability is planned in stages through 2026-2027 with the initial release to target Small Language Models (SLM) for the special purpose AI market requiring FHE.
4. Quantum-Safe Email – Advanced commercialization efforts.
The Company advanced commercialization efforts for IronCAP X™ through its partnership with Turnium Technology Group Inc. ("TTGI"). Integration work expanded the product's deployment footprint within TTGI's service offerings and supported broader market exposure.
5. Corporate Rebranding – September 2025.
Shareholders approved the name change to 01 Quantum Inc., aligning the Company's identity with its focus on quantum-resilient cybersecurity technologies and reinforcing its long-term strategic direction.
6. Financings – Strengthened financial position.
The Company completed three equity financings during the year, providing aggregate gross proceeds of $3,779,900. These financings strengthened the Company's financial position and supported development and commercialization activities across multiple product verticals.
Financial Results:
The Company recorded higher revenue in both the fourth quarter 2025 and for the full fiscal year, supported by increased development activity across its PQC initiatives. Operating expenses increased in line with expanded development work and additional technical resources.
Fourth Quarter 2025
Fourth quarter 2025 revenue of $434,724, compared to $82,155 in fourth quarter 2024.
Fourth quarter 2025 IFRS loss and comprehensive loss of $352,453, compared to $97,698 in fourth quarter 2024.
The adjusted loss for the fourth quarter 2025 was $130,825, compared to $63,306 in fourth quarter 2024. Adjusted loss, or cash burn, excludes non-cash items such as stock-based compensation and depreciation.
The significant increase in quarterly revenue was driven by development fees associated with PQC-enabled applications across remote access, digital assets, and AI security. The increase in operating expenses reflects higher R&D activity, expanded development capacity, and stock-based compensation of $220,157, which is a non-cash charge. Excluding these non-cash items, the Company's cash operating expenditures remained consistent with its development and commercialization activities.
Fiscal 2025
Fiscal 2025 revenue of $767,993, up from $412,948 in fiscal 2024.
Fiscal 2025 IFRS loss and comprehensive loss of $1,126,086, compared to a loss of $318,790 in fiscal 2024.
Adjusted loss for fiscal 2025 of $664,200, reflecting the Company's modest cash burn.
Fiscal 2025 cash operating expenses totaled $1,418,848.
Non-cash operating expenses totaled $461,886, primarily stock-based compensation.
Revenue growth for the year was driven by development work across multiple PQC product verticals, including remote access, digital assets, and AI security. Operating expenses increased due to higher R&D expenditures, additional development personnel, and stock-based compensation related to option grants issued during the year. The Company's adjusted loss provides a clearer view of underlying cash expenditures by removing non-cash items such as stock-based compensation and depreciation.
Financial Position
As at October 31, 2025, the Company held cash and guaranteed investment certificates totaling $3,072,651, compared to $139,126 at October 31, 2024. The increase reflects the completion of three equity financings during the year and the Company's ongoing focus on managing operating expenditures.
Grant of options
The Company granted stock options pursuant to its stock option plan to directors and executives of the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of 775,000 common shares in the Company. The options were granted on January 22, 2026, and are exercisable at a price of $0.62 per share for a period of four years from the date of grant. The options vest over a period of two years, with 50% vesting on each of January 22, 2027, and January 22, 2028. The options, and the shares issuable upon exercise, will be subject to applicable securities and regulatory laws. After granting these stock options there will be a total of 9,005,000 options outstanding under the stock option plan.
