(Attach Extra Sheets if Needed)
The Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-Q”) of Quantum Computing Inc. (the “Company”) could not be filed within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense for the reasons set forth below:
On May 3, 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) issued an order reporting that it had settled administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings against the Company’s former auditor, BF Borgers CPA PC (“BF Borgers”) and its sole audit partner, Benjamin F. Borgers CPA, permanently barring BF Borgers and Mr. Borgers from appearing or practicing before the Commission as an accountant (the “Order”).
As a result of the Order, the Company’s financial statements for the years ending December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, which were audited by BF Borgers, and the Company’s interim financial statements for the quarters ending March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023, which were reviewed by BF Borgers, may no longer be incorporated into the Company’s filings with the Commission, including without limitation the Form 10-Q.
Accordingly, the Company requires additional time to complete its financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and to confirm the impact of BF Borgers’ and Mr. Borger’s conduct as described in the Order on the Company’s financial statements for such quarter and for prior periods.
As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 8, 2024, the Company dismissed BF Borgers as its auditor, effective May 3, 2024, and is in the process of appointing a new auditor.
Once appointed, the Company will work diligently with the new auditor to complete the Form 10-Q as soon as possible, and to take other appropriate steps in light of BF Borgers’ and Mr. Borger’s conduct as described in the Order.
