In September 2024, we received an $11.7 million contract with DARPA to develop heterogeneous integration technology for nano-scale semiconductors that is compatible with leading-edge and future advanced-node semiconductors. Technology applications include artificial intelligence (“AI”), mobile devic…
In April 2025, we received a contract with the U.S. Department of Energy to develop commercially viable, low-cost shortwave infrared (SWIR) photodetectors. The award will accelerate commercialization of Aeluma’s wafer-scale platform for high-sensitivity, energy-efficient photodetector sensors applic…
Risk factors
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-K · 2026-09-16
Below are material factors known to us that could materially adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition, prospects or share price. These risks are not the only risks we face, and there may be other risks, including risks not known to us or that we currently deem to be imma…
This summary of risk factors is not complete and should be read in conjunction with the more complete and detailed descriptions of risks that follow.
● We have a limited operating history and remain in the early development stages. Although we have generated some revenue, we are not in volume production for any of our product offerings. It may be difficult to evaluate our business and prospects based on historical data.
● We may not raise sufficient additional capital or cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in new enterprises, which could reduce our ability to compete successfully and harm our results of operations.
● Our growth, profitability and cash flows depend upon our ability to successfully implement our growth strategy.

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.
