Q & A Highlights
Q: Can you elaborate on the new senior executive team members and their expected contributions? A: Andrew Cheung, CEO, explained that the new team, led by Tyson Macaulay as COO, is expected to drive revenue. Tyson has over 20 years of experience in cybersecurity. The team includes executives with extensive experience in Canadian finance, federal procurement, and private sectors. Andrew himself focuses on the Asian market, particularly PQC-related business.
Q: How are the qONE tokens accounted for, and what is their potential impact? A: Brian Stringer, CFO, clarified that under IFRS, the 22.5 million qONE tokens are recorded as a long-term asset at fair value on the balance sheet. The tokens were valued at $0.01 each at the time of receipt. They represent a potential large gain, especially with the upcoming launch of qVAULT.
Q: Can you provide an update on the partnership with Hitachi and their marketing efforts? A: Andrew Cheung stated that the quantum-safe remote access product, DoMobile, is actively marketed by Hitachi in Japan. The product targets universities, banks, and government agencies, providing a competitive edge. 01 Quantum receives royalties and supports Hitachi as a subject matter expert.
Q: What is the status of your AI projects, and when can we expect a demonstrable product? A: Andrew Cheung announced that their Quantum AI Wrapper (QAW) technology is ready for demonstration. It will be showcased at the Toronto Machine Learning Summit (TMLS), where 01 Quantum is a major sponsor. The event marks the launch of their QAW technology.
Q: Why was the large system integrator not named in the recent announcement, and what are the marketing plans? A: Andrew Cheung explained that the integrator's size difference means the partnership is not material to them, hence the anonymity. A joint social media campaign is planned to promote the collaboration, with more visibility expected in the coming months.
