ATOM — what changed in the latest 10-Q
A section-by-section comparison of ATOM's newest periodic SEC filing (10-K/10-Q) against the prior same-form filing: paragraphs added and removed per section, with verbatim excerpts. Purely a deterministic text diff — no similarity scores, no directional read, not investment advice.

MD&A

· manufacturers of semiconductor wafers, which provide the substrates upon which integrated circuits are fabricated;
· original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, that manufacture the epitaxial, or epi, machines used to deposit semiconductor layers, such as the MST film, onto silicon wafers; and
Our principal business objective is to enter into commercial license agreements that enable our customers to manufacture and sell MST-enabled products, generating license revenues and ongoing royalties. We also license our MSTcad® software to customers, enabling them to simulate the effects of MST o…
Our goal is that MSTcad licensing and engineering service arrangements will be tools that demonstrate the benefits of MST when integrated into customers’ manufacturing processes and will lead customers to enter into commercial license agreements. A “commercial license” consists of (i) an R&D license…
Depending upon our customers’ business needs and how we initially engaged with them, we may make these license grants in one or more separate contracts. Our preferred model is to charge our customers upfront license fees for each license grant. Under our licensing model, the R&D license fee is due u…

· manufacturers of semiconductor materials, principally wafers; and
Our commercialization strategy is to generate revenue through licensing arrangements whereby foundries, IDMs and fabless semiconductor manufacturers pay us a license fee for their right to use MST technology in the manufacture of silicon wafers as well as a royalty for each silicon wafer or device t…
We were organized as a Delaware limited liability company under the name Nanovis LLC on November 26, 2001. On March 13, 2007, we converted to a Delaware corporation under the name Mears Technologies, Inc. On January 12, 2016, we changed our name to Atomera Incorporated.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we sold approximately 742,000 shares pursuant to the 2022 ATM and the 2025 ATM at an average price per share of approximately $7.42, resulting in approximately $5.2 million of net proceeds to us after deducting commissions and other offering expenses.

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, management previously identified a material weakness in our internal controls because we did not design and implement effective controls over the review and approval of journal entries into our general ledger. In 20…

The table below summarizes the terms of arrangements adopted or terminated by officers or directors during the three months ended March 31, 2026. All of the trading arrangements listed below are intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1c.
The actual number of shares sold will depend on the vesting of restricted stock awards and the number of shares withheld by the Company to satisfy its income tax withholding obligations, and may vary from the approximate number provided.
(2) The actual number of shares sold is dependent on the exercise of stock options at specific prices with the subsequent sale of the underlying shares at specific price targets.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K
How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
