1.Nature of business
Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (formerly, FSD Pharma Inc.) (“Quantum” or the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to building a portfolio of innovative assets and biotech solutions for the treatment of challenging neurodegenerative, inflammatory and metabolic disorders and alcohol misuse disorders with drug candidates in different stages of development. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Lucid Psycheceuticals Inc. (“Lucid”), Quantum is focused on the research and development of its lead compound, Lucid-MS (formerly Lucid-21-302) (“Lucid-MS”). Lucid-MS is a patented new chemical entity shown to prevent and reverse myelin degradation, the underlying mechanism of multiple sclerosis, in preclinical models. The Company also maintains selective R&D programs for inflammatory diseases (FSD-PEA) and depression (Lucid-PSYCH), though these initiatives remain secondary priorities. Quantum is also focused on the research and development of a treatment for alcohol misuse for application in hospitals and other medical practices. Quantum maintains a portfolio of strategic investments through its wholly owned subsidiary, FSD Strategic Investments Inc., which represent loans secured by residential property.
The Company’s registered office is located at 55 University Avenue, Suite 1003, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2H7. On August 15, 2024, the Company consolidated its Class A Multiple Voting Shares and Class B Subordinate Voting Shares (each as defined hereinafter) on a 65:1 basis and changed its name to “Quantum BioPharma Ltd.” with a new trading symbol “QNTM” on both NASDAQ and CSE.
On July 31, 2023, the Company entered into an exclusive intellectual property license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Celly Nutrition Corp. (“Celly”). The License Agreement provides Celly access to proprietary information for the purposes of consumer product development and marketing. The License Agreement grants Celly the rights to a proprietary formulation of natural ingredients, vitamins, and minerals to help with liver and brain function for the purposes of potentially quickly relieving from the effects of alcohol consumption, such as inebriation, and restoring normal lifestyle. The License Agreement also grants Celly rights to certain trademarks. In exchange, Quantum received 200,000,000 common shares in the capital of Celly following a 2:1 share-split. The Company also received an anti-dilution Warrant Certificate that entitles Quantum to purchase up to 25% of the common shares deemed outstanding less the 200,000,000 common shares issued under the License Agreement and from time to time as a result of any partial exercise under the anti-dilution Warrant Certificate. Quantum is also entitled to certain license fees and royalties under the License Agreement. Through the License Agreement, Quantum acquired 34.66% of Celly. On July 31, 2023, the Company and Celly entered into a loan agreement for gross proceeds of C$1,000,000. The loan was funded on August 1, 2023, and accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Interest is payable annually and the loan matures on July 31, 2026. On April 3, 2024, an amendment to the loan agreement was approved for additional gross proceeds of C$300,000. In November 2023, through the Plan of Arrangement the Company distributed 45,712,529 of its 200,000,000 shares of Celly to its shareholders. The License Agreement was amended and restated on August 14, 2024. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of Celly as of March 31, 2025, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had a 20.11% (December 31, 2024 – 22.95%) ownership interest in Celly through common shares held in Celly.

In August 2020, the Company issued 42,499 Class B Subordinate Voting Shares and 21,250 warrants to purchase Class B Subordinate Voting Shares for total cash proceeds of $9,999,997. Each warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class B Subordinate Voting Share of the Company at an exercise price of $276.90 per share and expire five years from the date of issuance. The fair value of these warrants is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
On initial recognition the Company determined that these warrants did not meet the IFRS definition of equity due to the exercise price being denominated in United States dollar, which was not the functional currency of the Company at the time resulting in variability in exercise price. The change in functional currency on October 1, 2020, was determined to be a change in circumstance and, as such, the Company has made an accounting policy choice to continue to recognize the warrants as a financial liability classified at fair value through profit or loss.
The fair value of the warrants liability as at March 31, 2025, was $221 (December 31, 2024 – $2) resulting in a loss on change in fair value of $219 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (2024 – $23,297). The fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions as at:

[b]December 2024 Warrants
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued warrants attached to its convertible debenture (Note 14).
The Company determine that these warrants were exchangeable into a variable number of shares due to foreign exchange, and as such, the warrants were classified as financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate fair value. Expected volatility has been based on an evaluation of the historical volatility of the Company’s share price. The risk-free interest rate for the life of the warrants was based on the yields available on government benchmark bonds with a term approximating the remaining term of the warrants. The life of the warrants is based on the contractual term. The fair value of the warrant liability as at December 13, 2024, the date of issuance was $245,147. The fair value of the warrants as of March 31, 2025, was $523,128 (December 31, 2024 - $212,000) resulting in a loss on change in fair value of $311,128 (2024 - $Nil). The fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions as at:

14.Convertible debentures
December2024 Debentures
In December 2024, the Company issued a total of 1,000 convertible debenture units of the Company (the “Debenture Units”) at a price of C$1,000 per Debenture Unit (the “Issue Price”) for total gross proceeds of $702,700 (C$1,000,000). Each Debenture Unit consists of (i) one convertible debenture having a face value of C$1,000 (each a “Debenture”); and (ii) 80 class B common share purchase warrants (each a “Warrant”) exercisable for 80 Class B subordinate voting shares in the Company (each, a “Share”). The Debentures mature 36 months from the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”) and bear interest at a rate of 1.25% per month, beginning on the date of issuance and payable in cash on the last day of each calendar quarter. If the holder (“Holder”) of the Debenture elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, interest may be paid in Shares at the Conversion Price in effect on the date of payment. The principal sum of the Debentures, or any portion thereof, and any accrued but unpaid interest, may be converted into class B Shares at a conversion price of C$6.25 per Share subject to adjustment (“Conversion Price”). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one additional class B Share (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of C$7.00 per Warrant Share, for a period of five years from the date of issuance. If the entire amount owing on the Debenture is converted within 6 months of the issuance date, the Holder is entitled to receive a cash amount equal to half the sum of all payments of interest on the December 2024 Debenture that would be due through to the Maturity Date, which the holder may convert all of any part into Class B Shares at the Conversion Price.
The Company may redeem the Debentures at any time prior to maturity, in whole or in part, upon fifteen days’ notice and payment of certain penalties as applicable. The convertible debenture was determined to be a financial instrument comprising a host debt component, a conversion feature and a warrant component which are both considered to be embedded derivatives due to variable consideration payable upon conversion caused by foreign exchange. On initial recognition, the fair value of the embedded derivatives is calculated first, with the residual value being assigned to the host financial liability. The initial fair value of the warrants is $245,147 (Note 12).
The fair value of the conversion feature is determined by using with-and-without method (“with-and-without method’) that considers change in expected cash flows due to the conversion. The model includes all terms of the convertible debenture described above as well as the probability of conversion, the impact of default barrier and the implied credit spread of the Company. The fair value of the conversion feature as at December 13, 2024, the date of issuance was $320,000. The fair value of the conversion feature as at March 31, 2025, was $911,360 (December 31, 2024
- $280,000) resulting in a loss on change in fair value of $631,360 (2024 - $Nil).
The fair values were determined using the assumptions below:
| December 13, <br><br>2024 | December 31, <br><br>2024 | March 31,<br><br> 2025 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

January2025 Debentures
On January 20, 2025**,** the Company closed the third tranche of the December 2024 Offering and issued 1,480 December 2024 Debenture Units for aggregate gross process of $1,032,744 (C$1,480,000). This third tranche was completed under amended terms, including a reduced conversion price of C$4.85 per share, an increased warrant ratio of 103.093 Warrants per Debenture Unit, and a reduced exercise price of C$5.25 per Warrant share.
On initial recognition, the fair value of the embedded derivatives is calculated first, with the residual value being assigned to the host financial liability. The initial fair value of the warrants is $405,656 (Note 12). The fair value of the conversion feature is determined by using with-and-without method. The fair value of the conversion feature as at January 20, 2025, the date of issuance was $599,770.
On February 7, 2025, the investor converted a partial amount of this Debenture into an aggregate of 152,577 shares of the Company’s Class B Subordinate Voting Shares (Note 15). On February 26, 2025, the investor converted the remaining amount of the Debenture into an aggregate amount of 221,237 shares of the Company’s Class B Subordinate Voting Shares (Note 15). Thus, the total amount of Class B Subordinate Voting Shares converted under this Debenture was 373,814.
The fair value of the conversion feature as at dates of conversion on February 7 and February 26, 2025, was $2,912,862, and $656,513, respectively. Where the original terms of the debentures permit the holder to convert at any time before maturity, and the note is subsequently converted early at the holder’s option, the conversion date is deemed to be the instrument’s maturity date.
The fair values were determined using the assumptions below:
| January 20, <br><br>2025 | February 7, <br><br>2025 | February 26, <br><br>2025 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Foreign exchange rate | 0.6978 | 0.6994 | 0.6974 |
The carrying amount of the host liability, at amortized cost, updated to the date of conversion, together with carrying amount of the derivative liability, which is remeasured to fair value immediately before conversion, is transferred to equity such that no gain or loss is recognized on settlement. The Company also incurred a total of $301,936 interest penalties for early conversion of the debentures. This amount was transferred to share capital.

On March 28, 2025, the Company closed the final tranche of the December 4, 2024 Offering and issued 2,420 Debenture Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,683,352 (C$2,420,000). This final tranche was completed under amended terms, including an increased conversion price of C$6.60 per share, a reduced warrant ratio of 76 Warrants per Debenture Unit, and an increased exercise price of C$7.00 per Warrant share.
On initial recognition, the fair value of the embedded derivatives is calculated first, with the residual value being assigned to the host financial liability. The initial fair value of the warrants is $1,218,875 (Note 12). The fair value of the conversion feature is determined by using with-and-without method. The fair value of the conversion feature as at March 28, 2025, the date of issuance was $1,954,755. The conversion value remained the same as at March 31, 2025. As the fair value of warrants and conversion feature are higher than the principal debt amount on the date of issuance, there was a loss on issuance of convertible debt of $1,490,278 for the period ended March 31, 2025.
Of the 2,420 Debenture Units issued, 330 Debenture Units were issued to a related party of the Company, which is an entity controlled by a director of the Company, 330 Debenture Units were issued to an entity, which is controlled by a family member of a director of the Company, and 1,060 Debenture Units were issued to an entity, which is owned by a family member of an executive officer of the Company. Of the total loss on issuance of convertible debt of $1,490,278, $1,059,206 was allocated to related parties, therefore disclosed as part of the share-based compensation balance in the key management disclosure in Note 22.

16.Share-based compensation
The Company has established a share option plan (the “Option Plan”) for directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The Company’s Board determines, among other things, the eligibility of individuals to participate in the Option Plan, the term and vesting periods, and the exercise price of options granted to individuals under the Option Plan.
Each share option is converted into one common share of the Company on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the individual on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry.

Measurementof fair values
The fair value of share options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following inputs:
| 2025 | 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grant date share price | C6.64-C9.92 | C72.15-C78.00 | ||
| Exercise price | C6.60-C9.90 | C97.50 | ||

| Expected life | 2<br>years | 2<br>years | ||
| Expected volatility | 132%-136 | 66 |
All values are in US Dollars.
Expected volatility was estimated by using the annualized historical volatility of the Company. The expected option life represents the period that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on Canadian government bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.
The following table is a summary of the Company’s share options outstanding as at March 31, 2025:

[ii]Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) and Restrictive Share Units (“RSUs”)
In May 2022, the Company established a performance share unit plan (“PSU Plan”) and a restrictive unit plan (“RSU Plan”), for directors, offers, employees and consultants of the Company. The Company’s Board determines the eligibility of individuals to participate in the PSU Plan and RSU Plan to align their interests with those of the Company’s shareholders.
No amounts are paid or payable by the individual on receipt of the PSUs and RSUs. Each PSU and RSU converts into one Class B Subordinate Voting Share of the Company at $nil exercise price. The Company’s PSU Plan and RSU Plan provides that the number of common shares reserved for issuance may not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of common shares that are outstanding unless the Board has increased such limit by a Board resolution.

Contingencies
LegalMatters
From time to time, the Company is named as a party to claims or involved in proceedings, including legal, regulatory and tax related, in the ordinary course of its business. While the outcome of these matters may not be estimable at the reporting date, the Company makes provisions, where possible, for the estimated outcome of such claims or proceedings. Should a loss result from the resolution of any claims or proceedings that differs from these estimates, the difference will be accounted for as a charge to the condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive loss in that period.

On June 23, 2023, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On July 3, 2023, GBB responded in opposition to the Company’s motion to dismiss the complaint. The Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint filed on June 23, 2023, has been fully briefed and is awaiting adjudication by S.D. Fla. On August 24, 2023, the parties filed a proposed joint scheduling report with the S.D. Fla., which set forth various deadlines that would govern this action. Under the proposed joint schedule, the case was to be trial-ready by November 30, 2024. On January 8, 2024, the S.D. Fla. Dismissed the Company’s request for a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
On January 22, 2024, the Company filed a third-party complaint against Joseph Romano (a former director of the Company), and a counterclaim against GBB. The Company alleges that Mr. Romano breached his fiduciary duty by providing or fabricating confidential information to GBB, and that GBB aided and abetted this breach. On October 9, 2024, Judge Melissa Damian denied Mr. Romano’s motion to dismiss, finding that the Company plausibly alleged Romano breached fiduciary duties, including his duties of loyalty, confidentiality, and to act in the Company’s best interests. GBB and Romano have denied the allegations in their respective answers.
As of March 17, 2025, the parties are finalizing documents to be used in discovery in advance of a May 1, 2025, deadline. Under the proposed schedule, the parties are required to participate in a mediation process by June 18, 2025. The case is expected to be trial-ready by September 2025.
The original discovery deadline of May 1, 2025, has been extended for much of discovery to allow the parties to attend a mediation on May 19, 2025. At the mediation, the parties will explore potential settlement. If settlement is not reached, the parties will continue with discovery to complete the outstanding depositions and expert discovery.
RazaBokhari
On July 15, 2021, the Company’s former CEO, Raza Bokhari, filed a notice of arbitration seeking relief and support for breach of contract and severance and damages in the amount of $30,200,000, for aggravated and punitive damages in the amount of $500,000 and legal fees and disbursements associated with the arbitration.
Raza Bokhari was placed on administrative leave from his role as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer following the Company’s annual general and special meeting of shareholders on May 14, 2021, pending the outcome of an investigation of various concerns by a Special Committee comprised of independent directors using independent legal counsel. Upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, Raza Bokhari’s employment was terminated for cause by the Company’s Board of Directors on July 27, 2021.
The Company disputed the allegations and counterclaimed against Raza Bokhari for losses sustained as a result of his alleged breaches of his duties to the Company. The arbitration hearing concluded in August 2022 and the arbitrator issued his decision in November 2022. Raza Bokhari’s claim for USD $30.2 million was dismissed along with his claim that he had been wrongfully dismissed. The arbitrator ordered that Raza Bokhari repay certain monies to Quantum, while also holding him responsible for Quantum’s costs of the arbitration.
On December 9, 2022, Raza Bokhari filed an application in the Ontario Superior Court seeking to set aside the arbitral award of the court on the grounds that he was not treated equally and fairly and the arbitrator’s written award provided inadequate reasons for his decision.
On December 20, 2022, the Company’s legal counsel wrote to the Commercial List of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice seeking to transfer the application from the Civil List to the Commercial List. The request was granted on January 12, 2023.
On April 28, 2023, the court ordered the case to be heard at the Commercial List on September 27, 2023.

On September 27 and 28, 2023, the application to set aside the award and cost of ground of unfairness was dismissed. As Raza Bokhari lost the set aside application, the court ordered Raza Bokhari to pay the Company C$165,000 to cover the Company’s legal expenses.
On October 13, 2023, Raza Bokhari filed a “Notice of Motion for Leave to Appeal” with the Court of Appeal for Ontario.
On December 15, 2023, the Company submitted a responding party’s factum to the Court of Appeal for Ontario.
On February 6, 2024, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice affirmed the judgment and awarded an additional C$5,000 in costs considering Raza Bokhari’s failed motion for leave to appeal. As of the date hereof, the litigation is ongoing.
On May 31, 2024, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania confirmed Quantum’s Petition to Confirm Arbitration Awards entered against Dr. Raza Bokhari.
On June 27, 2024, the US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania confirmed Quantum’s motion for entry of judgment and granted judgment in favor of Quantum of approximately USD $3 million.
On April 11, 2025, the Court of Appeal for Ontario dismissed the motions to reconsider prior decisions initiated by Raza Bokhari.
DeferredIncome
On December 24, 2024, the Company entered into a Prepaid Forward Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Sports Coat LLC (“Buyer”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Buyer agreed to provide financing of US$1,000,000 to the Company in exchange for the right to receive a portion of the proceeds from certain ongoing litigations.
These litigations include, but are not limited to:
| ● | Claims<br> related to market manipulation involving FSD Pharma Inc, Quantum Biopharma Ltd., or any related<br> entity; and |
|---|---|
| ● | Claims<br> involving Raza Bokhari |
The financing provided under the Purchase Agreement is non-recourse, which stipulates that the Company is not obligated to repay the US$1,000,000 if no proceeds are realized from the litigations. The Buyer assumes the risk of loss in the event of non-collection of litigation proceeds. The agreement does not include a predefined repayment schedule, a specified due date, or a general pledge of the Company’s assets as collateral for repayment.
The Purchase Agreement specifies events of default, including failure to pay amounts due, breach of material terms, termination of legal representation without cause, misrepresentation, misappropriation of litigation proceeds, insolvency, or challenges to the agreement’s validity. In such cases, the Buyer may declare the full amount immediately due and enforce its security interest.
The Company received the full US$1,000,000, which has been recorded as deferred income as at December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the amount in deferred income remained at US$1,000,000. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing of the litigation outcomes, the amount is classified as a current liability.

24. Financial Instruments and Risk Management
Creditrisk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from deposits with banks and outstanding other receivables and finance receivables. The Company trades only with recognized, creditworthy third parties.
The Company does not hold any collateral as security for its outstanding finance receivables but mitigates this risk by dealing only with what management believes to be financially sound counterparties and, accordingly, does not anticipate significant loss for non-performance. The loans are secured by real estate properties, and the Company is granted a first or second collateral charge mortgage on the properties for a sum equal to the interest payments plus the principal amount. The Company performs assessments on factors such as timing of payments, loan to value, communications with the borrower and external macro factors such as interest rates and economic conditions to mitigate risks.
Liquidityrisk
Liquidity risk is the risk the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional financing to meet its commitments and sustain operations. The Company mitigates liquidity risk by management of working capital, cash flows, the issuance of share capital and if desired, the issuance of debt. The Company’s trade and other payables and notes payables are all due within twelve months from the date of these financial statements.
If unanticipated events occur that impact the Company’s ability to carry out the planned clinical trials, the Company may need to take additional measures to increase its liquidity and capital resources, including issuing debt or additional equity financing or strategically altering the business forecast and plan. In this case, there is no guarantee that the Company will obtain satisfactory financing terms or adequate financing. Failure to obtain adequate financing on satisfactory terms could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
Marketrisk
Market risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
| ● | Foreign<br> currency risk |
|---|
Foreign currency risk arises on financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency in which they are measured. The Company’s primary exposure with respect to foreign currencies is from Canadian dollar denominated cash, investments and trade and other payables. A 1% change in the foreign exchange rates would not result in any significant impact to the financial statements.
| ● | Interest<br> rate risk |
|---|
Interest rate risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company does not have any material long-term borrowings outstanding subject to variable interest rates. Therefore, the Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as at March 31, 2025.
| ● | Other<br> price risk |
|---|
Other price risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Company is not exposed to other price risks as at March 31, 2025.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024
Fairvalues
The carrying values of cash, other receivables, trade and other payables and notes payable approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these items or they are being carried at fair value or, for notes payable, interest payables are close to the current market rates. The risk of material change in fair value is not considered to be significant. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to manage this risk.
Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The Company categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used by the Company’s valuation techniques. A level is assigned to each fair value measurement based on the lowest-level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
| ● | Level<br> 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices as at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities<br> in active markets. |
|---|---|
| ● | Level<br> 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted<br> prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical<br> or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are<br> observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Level<br> 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.<br> The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs<br> and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. |
| --- | --- |
The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist. A financial instrument is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value. During the year, there were no transfers of amounts between levels.

The new CUSIP and ISIN for the Class B Subordinate Voting Shares were changed to 74764Y205 and CA74764Y2050, respectively. After giving effect to the 2024 Consolidation, the Class B Subordinate Voting Shares were reduced from 84,531,149 to approximately 1,300,727 Class B Subordinate Voting Shares and the Class A Multiple Voting Shares were reduced from 72 to 2 Class A Multiple Voting Shares. No fractional Class A Multiple Voting Shares and Class B Subordinate Voting Shares were issued in connection with the 2024 Consolidation.

Each September 2024 Option is exercisable to purchase one Class B Subordinate Voting Share. Each September 2024 RSU granted vested immediately.

September 6, 2024: the Company canceled an aggregated of 7,692 warrants to purchase Class B Subordinate Voting Shares, which were previously granted to a board member. Management reviewed the Company’s outstanding warrants and determined that the warrants granted to such individual at an exercise price of C$97.50 per Class B Subordinate Voting Share no longer represented a realistic inventive to motivate such individual.
September 13, 2024: the Company closed a non-brokered private placement and issued six Class A Multiple Voting Shares at a price of C$6.00 per Class A Multiple Voting Share for gross proceeds of C$36.00 (the “September 2024 Class A Multiple Voting Share Private Placement Offering”). Xorax and Fortius purchased all the Class A Multiple Voting Shares issued pursuant to the September 2024 Class A Multiple Voting Share Private Placement Offering. The participation by such insiders was considered a “related-party transaction” within the meaning of MI 61-101. The Company relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in respectively, sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of related party participation in the September 2024 Class A Multiple Voting Share Private Placement Offering as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved the related parties, exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization (as determined under MI 61- 101). Fortius, Xorax and the Company entered into a Shareholder Agreement dated September 13, 2024 (“Shareholder Agreement”), which prohibits unauthorized transfers of the Class A Multiple Voting Shares. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions B. Related Party Transactions – ShareholderAgreement.”
September 27, 2024: the Company announced the grant of 29,500 Options to certain directors, officers, employees, and consultants (the “September 2024 Options”). Each September 2024 Option granted vests immediately and is exercisable at a price of C$5.25 for a period of two years from the issue date. A director of the Company received 7,500 of the September 2024 Options, and thus, the foregoing as it applies to such party represents a related-party transaction under MI 61-101. However, the transaction was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of the transaction nor the consideration exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

Except as otherwise disclosed below, there are no material outstanding legal proceedings or regulatory actions to which the Company is party, nor, to Company’s knowledge, are there any such proceedings or actions contemplated.
GBBDrink Lab Litigation
On May 12, 2023, the Company announced receipt of a lawsuit filed in S.D. Fla. by GBB against the Company, alleging breach of a mutual non-disclosure agreement and misappropriation of trade secrets. GBB claims that its assets were, as of August 30, 2022 (prior to the misappropriation and material breach) valued at US$53,047,000. The Company believes the allegations are without merit and continues to defend itself in the lawsuit.
10
On June 23, 2023, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On July 3, 2023, GBB responded in opposition to the Company’s motion to dismiss the complaint. The Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint filed on June 23, 2023, has been fully briefed and is awaiting adjudication by S.D. Fla. In the meantime, on August 24, 2023, the parties filed a proposed joint scheduling report with the S.D. Fla., which set forth various deadlines that would govern this action. Under the proposed joint schedule, the case was supposed to be trial-ready by November 30, 2024. On January 8, 2024, the S.D. Fla. Dismissed the Company’s request for a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
On January 22, 2024, the Company filed a third-party complaint against Joseph Romano (a former director of the Company), and a counterclaim against GBB. The Company alleges that Mr. Romano breached his fiduciary duty by providing or fabricating confidential information to GBB, and that GBB aided and abetted this breach. On October 9, 2024, Judge Melissa Damian denied Mr. Romano’s motion to dismiss, finding that the Company plausibly alleged Romano breached fiduciary duties, including his duties of loyalty, confidentiality, and to act in the company’s best interests. GBB and Romano have denied the allegations in their respective answers.
As of March 17, 2025, the parties are finalizing documents to be used in discovery in advance of a May 1, 2025, deadline. Under the proposed schedule, the parties are required to participate in a mediation process by June 18, 2025. The case is expected to be trial-ready by September 2025.

The Company defended the arbitration and counterclaimed against Dr. Bokhari for reimbursement of expenses he directed the Company to pay himself, as well as losses the Company sustained as a result of Dr. Bokhari’s decision to authorize a series of dilutive share issuances.

RestrainingOrder and Class B Subordinate Voting Share Cancellation Application
On January 21, 2021, and February 10, 2021, the Board authorized the issuance of an aggregate of 1,349,765 Class B Subordinate Voting Shares as share based awards to certain directors and officers of the Company, including Dr. Bokhari. Upon determining that 1,198,146 of these Class B Subordinate Voting Shares (the “Contested Shares”) had been inappropriately issued contrary to applicable laws, the Board resolved to cancel the Contested Shares on June 1, 2021, and later directed the Company’s transfer agent to cancel and return the Contested Shares to treasury. On July 2, 2021, Dr. Bokhari, filed an action against the Company seeking to prevent the Company from cancelling his portion of the Contested States. The motion was heard and denied on July 27, 2021. On July 21, 2021, the Company commenced a legal proceeding against Dr. Bokhari, former members of the Board, including James Datin, Robert Ciaruffoli, Stephen Buyer and Gerald Goldberg, Dr. Bokhari’s brokerages’ Haywood Securities Inc. and Haywood Securities (US) Inc., and the Company’s transfer agent. The Company made an application before the ONSC stating that the Contested Shares were issued contrary to section 23(2) of the OBCA and validly cancelled by resolution of the Board passed on June 1, 2021. The Company was able to reach an agreement with all of the former directors other than Dr. Bokhari under which they did not oppose the Company’s application and agreed to be bound by the decision in the application, and the Company agreed not to seek costs against them. Neither the Company’s transfer agent nor any of Dr. Bokhari’s brokerages took any position on the application. On March 8, 2022, the court issued a mixed decision in the application, permitting the Contested Share grant to Dr. Bokhari until the date of his termination but cancelling 504,888 Contested Shares relating to services that were to be provided after the date of termination.
Bokhariv. FSD Pharma Inc. Et al.
On July 2, 2021, Dr Bokhari filed an action against the Company, FSD BioSciences, Anthony Durkacz and Zeeshan Saeed. The case was placed in civil suspense pending resolution of arbitration. Therefore, no further activity will occur in this case unless and until the arbitration concludes. As of the date hereof, the litigation is ongoing.
BokhariWrongful Means Action
In June 2023, Dr. Bokhari commenced an action against the Company and FSD Biosciences by way of notice of action issued out of the ONSC. He subsequently filed a statement of claim, of July 7, 2023, and served the notice of action and statement of claim on a former director of the Company on December 19, 2023. The action seeks USD $1.5 million in damages for intentional interference with economic relations, misrepresentation, negligence, and other causes of action to be specified in a statement of claim. We delivered a notice of intent to defend in the action on January 5, 2024, but thus far not been required to provide a statement of defense. We believe these claims are without merit.
BokhariEmployment Claim
By way of notice of action issued on May 11, 2023, Dr. Bokhari commenced an action for damages for breach of contract against the Company in the ONSC. He subsequently filed a statement of claim in which he specified the claim as a claim for USD $30.2 million in damages on the basis that the Company breached his employment agreement by not providing him notice of default before terminating his employment. On November 10, 2023, the last day on which he could do so, Dr. Bokhari served the notice of action and statement of claim on an FSD director. We served a notice of intent to defend this action on November 22, 2023, but have not been required to serve a statement of defense. We note that to the extent he wished to advance this claim, it is a claim that Dr. Bokhari should have advanced in the employment arbitration, but did not do so. As such and bearing in mind the decision the arbitrator reached in that proceeding in our view, we believe that this claim has no merit.
CunninghamAssessment Application
By notice of application dated September 26, 2023, Dr. Bokhari applied to the ONSC for an order directing an assessment of the accounts/billing rendered by Justice Cunningham in the Wrongful Dismissal Arbitration noted above. In late January 2024, Dr. Bokhari served Arbitrator Cunningham with the notice of application and a supporting affidavit sworn January 24, 2024. Under the terms of the retainer agreement between FSD, Dr. Bokhari and Justice Cunningham, FSD is jointly and severally liable for any costs Justice Cunningham might incur as a result of this proceeding. The liability exposure that FSD could have in this matter is approximately C$182,777.50, which represents half of the arbitration fees, plus any costs in defending the arbitrator To protect its interest, the Company has instructed its legal counsel to move to have the Company joined to the proceeding. We believe this claim is without merit.
12
As of May 7, 2024, Mr. Bokhari decided to abandon his application to have his accounts assessed.
At a hearing on November 28, 2024, the ONSC awarded the Company C$13,000 for costs. This award was released February 10, 2025, and the amount is currently outstanding. The Company appeared before the registrar on March 12, 2025, to address the collection of the award.
BokhariIndemnification Application
On November 12, 2021, Dr. Bokhari commenced an application in the ONSC seeking an order appointing an arbitrator to arbitrate his claim to be entitled to indemnification of his legal expenses associated with the litigation he commenced against FSD or in which he was named as a party by FSD. FSD denied the validity of the underlying indemnification agreement and therefore opposed the application. In April 2022, the parties agreed to allow Dr. Bokhari to adjourn the application indefinitely. Last year, Dr. Bokhari retained new counsel who indicated that it intended to pursue the application. To date that new counsel has taken no steps to do so. We believe this claim is without merit.
On April 6, 2022, Dr. Bokhari commenced an application in the Superior Court seeking an order appointing an arbitrator to arbitrate his claim to be entitled to indemnification of his legal expenses associated with the litigation he has commenced against the Company or in which he has been named as a defendant against the Company. The Company denied the validity of the underlying indemnification agreement and opposed the application. In April 2022, the parties agreed to adjourn the application without setting a new hearing date. As of the date hereof, the litigation is ongoing.
TheCompany’s Petition against Raza Bokhari to Confirm Arbitration Award
On December 1, 2023, the Company filed a Petition to Confirm Arbitration (the “Petition”), in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, which seeks to (a) confirm the four awards entered in an arbitration in Ontario, Canada, in favor of the Company and against former CEO Raza Bokhari and (b) enter final judgment against Bokhari in an amount in excess of C$3,000,000. The petition was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Dr. Bokhari filed a response on February 9, 2024. The Company filed a response and the litigation is ongoing.
On March 31, 2024, Mr. Bokhari requested a week-long extension, which pushed the Company’s deadline of February 23, 2024, by a week. The Company filed a response on March 1, 2024.
As of May 31, 2024, the Company won the petition to confirm the arbitration awards against Dr. Raza Bokhari. As a result, on June 27, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania confirmed the Company’s motion for entry of judgement and granted judgement in favor of the Company of approximately US$3,000,000. As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company has yet to receive payment by Dr. Bokhari.
On April 14, 2025, the Company announced that the reconsideration motion by Dr. Raza Bokhari at the Court of Appeal for Ontario was dismissed entirely in favour of Quantum BioPharma.
ParkwayClinical Laboratories

Lawsuitagainst CIBC World Markets, RBC Dominion Securities, and John Does 1-10
On October 20, 2024, the Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against CIBC World Markets, Inc., RBC Dominion Securities Inc., and John Does 1-10. The complaint alleges market manipulation through spoofing activities between January 1, 2020, and August 15, 2024. The Company is seeking damages of more than US$700 million.
13
The complaint alleges that between January 1, 2020, and August 15, 2024, the defendants engaged in “spoofing,” an unlawful trading practice, to manipulate the market price of Quantum’s shares. The complaint details that the defendants placed thousands of spoofing orders to sell, creating the illusion that Quantum’s share price was declining. This practice allegedly “tricked” other investors into selling their shares at lower prices, driving the company’s share price downward. The defendants then purchased shares at artificially depressed prices, positioning themselves to profit when the market price rebounded. The Company claims to have suffered significant damage and seeks to recover more than USD 700 million. It alleges that it sold approximately 90 million shares of its stock on U.S. and Canadian exchanges during the relevant period at artificially depressed prices due to the defendants’ spoofing activities. The complaint names CIBC World Markets, Inc., RBC Dominion Securities Inc., and John Does 1 through 10 as defendants. It asserts three claims for relief: violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5(a) and (c), violation of Section 9(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and New York Common Law Fraud.
AdditionalRegulatory Matters
In response to OSC inquiries regarding our securities trading activity, the Company has maintained an active investigation into potential market irregularities. Below we provide historical context regarding this ongoing matter, which represents an important element of our regulatory compliance efforts:
QuantumResponse to OSC Inquiry
On August 11, 2023, external legal counsel sent a letter to the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”). This letter was in response to a comment letter from the OSC regarding the Company’s Preliminary Short Form Base Shelf Prospectus filed on July 11, 2023. The letter addressed inquiries from the OSC about the Company’s investigation into possible naked short selling and market manipulation of the Company’s securities.
Key points of the letter:
| ● | The<br> Company’s external counsel and Christian Attar (collectively referred to as “Law<br> Firms”) were jointly representing Quantum in the matter concerning possible naked short<br> selling and market manipulation of the Company’s securities. |
|---|---|
| ● | Quantum<br> had first suspected share price manipulation in 2021 when it discovered imbalances between<br> reported shares held by brokers and authorized shares on deposit in both Canadian and U.S.<br> exchanges. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | The<br> Board of Directors discussed naked short selling and market manipulation in a meeting on<br> June 29, 2023, and decided to retain Christian Attar. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Other<br> than an information package submitted to the OSC on June 23, 2023, Quantum had not been in<br> contact with other regulatory bodies regarding this matter. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | The<br> investigation was ongoing at the time, with the Law Firms reviewing documents, trading data,<br> and interviewing witnesses. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | The<br> Company had an Insider Trading and Blackout Period policy, but the disclosure of the possible<br> naked short selling and market manipulation did not trigger a blackout period. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | The<br> letter emphasized the preliminary nature of the investigation and its ongoing status. It<br> stated that it was premature to identify any parties or individuals who might be implicated<br> in the matter. Furthermore, the Law Firms were unable to provide an accurate timeline for<br> the completion of their investigations at that point. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | The<br> letter also noted that any decision regarding potential litigation against third parties<br> would depend on the investigation’s findings and could not be determined until the inquiry<br> was concluded. |

Assets
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $2,477,559, or 41%, primarily due to operating outflows, investments in digital assets, offset by private placement offerings.
Other receivables increased by $19,165, or 5%. Changes are mainly related to the quarterly sales tax filing process with CRA and Australian authorities, and timing of fund collection.
Investments decreased by $1,181,481, or 98%, primarily due to all GIC investments redemption at maturity.
Current finance receivables decreased by $414,189, or 12%, reflecting various portfolio adjustments, as the Company collected the principal repayments from matured loans and did not renew.
The Company invested in net $2,600,000 in digital assets during the period ended March 31, 2025.
19
The right-of-use assets decreased by $18,566, or 35%, primarily due to the depreciation recorded for the current office lease.
Intangible assets decreased by $103,724, or 8%, due to amortization expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Liabilities
Trade and other payables decreased by $2,005,166, or 46%, reflecting the Company’s ongoing operational activities and strategic investments.
The fair value of the warrants liability from the Company’s total convertible debentures balance was $2,841,137 (December 31, 2024 – $212,002).
The fair value of the derivatives liabilities as of March 31, 2025, was $2,866,115 (December 31, 2024 - $280,000). This stems from the conversion feature valuations from the Company’s outstanding convertible debentures.
The Company received $1,000,000 in proceeds related to a prepaid forward contract during the year ended December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the balance remains as $1,000,000.

LIQUIDITY,CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCING
The general objectives of our capital management strategy are to preserve our capacity to continue operating, provide benefits to our stakeholders and provide an adequate return on investment to our shareholders by continuing to invest in our future that is commensurate with the level of operating risk we assume. We determine the total amount of capital required consistent with risk levels. This capital structure is adjusted on a timely basis depending on changes in the economic environment and risks of the underlying assets. We are not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The financial statements and this MD&A have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. In making this assessment, management concluded that it has sufficient working capital as of March 31, 2025, to carry out its planned operations over the next twelve months.

Cashflows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
CashFlows (Used in) Operating Activities
Cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $4,260,843 compared to cash flows used in operating activities of $1,973,394 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increased outflow was driven by a higher net loss of $8.3 million compared to $2 million in the previous year, partially offset by non-cash adjustments.
CashFlows (Used in) Provided by Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $1,350,208 compared to cash used in investing activities of $22,140 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The outflow primarily reflected $2.8 million in purchases of digital assets, partially offset by the redemptions on the GIC investments.
CashFlows (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $3,133,492 compared to cash from financing activities of $568,719 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This significant improvement was driven primarily by $2.67 million in proceeds from convertible debentures, reflecting successful private placement offerings as well as $312,343 from rocking horse loans, which provided critical funding for the Australian subsidiary research initiatives.

FINANCIALINSTRUMENTS AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS
Creditrisk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from deposits with banks and outstanding other receivables and finance receivables. The Company trades only with recognized, creditworthy third parties.
The Company does not hold any collateral as security for its outstanding finance receivables but mitigates this risk by dealing only with, what management believes to be, financially sound counterparties and, accordingly, does not anticipate significant loss for non-performance. The loans are secured by residential properties, and the Company is granted a first or second collateral charge mortgage on the properties for a sum equal to the interest payments plus the principal amount. The Company performs assessments on factors such as timing of payments, loan to value ratios, communications with the borrower and external macro factors such as interest rates and economic conditions to mitigate risks.
Liquidityrisk
Liquidity risk is the risk the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional financing to meet its commitments and sustain operations. The Company mitigates liquidity risk by management of working capital, cash flows, the issuance of share capital and if desired, the issuance of debt. The Company’s trade and other payables are all due within twelve months from the date of these financial statements.
If unanticipated events occur that impact the Company’s ability to carry out the planned clinical trials, the Company may need to take additional measures to increase its liquidity and capital resources, including issuing debt or additional equity financing or strategically altering the business forecast and plan. In this case, there is no guarantee that the Company will obtain satisfactory financing terms or adequate financing. Failure to obtain adequate financing on satisfactory terms could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
Marketrisk
Market risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
| ● | Foreign<br> currency risk |
|---|
Foreign currency risk arises on financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency in which they are measured. The Company’s primary exposure with respect to foreign currencies is from Canadian dollar denominated cash and trade and other payables. A 1% change in the foreign exchange rates would not result in any significant impact to the financial statements.
| ● | Interest<br> rate risk |
|---|
Interest rate risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s finance receivables are at fixed rates and there are no material long-term borrowings outstanding. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as at March 31, 2025.
| ● | Other<br> price risk |
|---|
Other price risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Company is not exposed to other price risk as at March 31, 2025.
Fairvalues
The carrying values of cash, other receivables, trade and other payables and notes payable approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these items or they are being carried at fair value or, for notes payable, interest payables are close to the current market rates. The risk of material change in fair value is not considered to be significant. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to manage this risk.
22
Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The Company categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used by the Company’s valuation techniques. A level is assigned to each fair value measurement based on the lowest-level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
| ● | Level<br> 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices as at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities<br> in active markets. |
|---|---|
| ● | Level<br> 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted<br> prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical<br> or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are<br> observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Level<br> 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.<br> The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs<br> and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. |
| --- | --- |
The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist. A financial instrument is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value.
Private company investments measured at fair value are classified as Level 3 financial instruments. The valuation method and significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of private company investments have been disclosed in the financial statements. The Company did not hold any private company investments as of March 31, 2025. During the period, there were no transfers of amounts between levels.

DISCLOSURECONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
A.Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
23
Under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.
The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.
B.Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is the process designed by and under the supervision of our CEO and CFO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).
Under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025, and concluded that it was effective.
