ATOMERA INCORPORATED
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September
30, 2025 and 2024
1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Atomera Incorporated (“Atomera”
or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in March 2007 under the name MEARS Technologies, Inc. and is engaged
in the development, commercialization and licensing of proprietary processes and technologies for the semiconductor industry. On January
12, 2016, the Company changed its name to Atomera Incorporated.
Atomera is an early-stage
company, having only limited revenue-generating activities, and is devoting substantially all its efforts toward technology research and
development and to commercially licensing its technology to designers and manufacturers of integrated circuits.
2.
LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT PLANS
At September 30, 2025, the
Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $ 20.3 million and working capital of approximately $ 18.1 million. The Company has
generated only limited revenues since inception and has incurred recurring operating losses. Accordingly, it is subject to all the risks
inherent in the initial organization, financing, expenditures, and scaling of a new business that is not generating positive cashflow.
On May 31, 2022, Atomera
entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC (“Craig-Hallum”),
as agents, under which the Company offered and sold, from time to time at its sole discretion, shares of its $0.001 par value common stock
in an at the market offering to or through the agents, having aggregate offering proceeds of up to $50.0 million (the “2022 ATM”).
The 2022 ATM Facility expired on March 18, 2025.
On May 27, 2025, Atomera
entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with Craig-Hallum as agent, under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time
at its sole discretion, shares of its $ 0.001 par value common stock in an at-the-market offering to or through the agent, having aggregate
offering proceeds of up to $50.0 million (the “2025 ATM”). During the three months ended September 30, 2025 the Company sold
approximately 393,000 shares of common stock pursuant to 2025 ATM at an average price per share of approximately $ 5.23 resulting in approximately
$ 2 .0 million in net proceeds to the Company after deducting commissions and other offering expenses.
During the nine months ended
September 30, 2025, the Company 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 the Company after deducting commissions and other offering
expenses.
Based on the funds it has
available as of the date of the filing of this report, the Company believes that it has sufficient capital to fund its current business
plans and obligations over, at least, 12 months from the date that these financial statements have been issued. The Company’s future
capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully
commercialize its technology, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies
or acquire technologies to enhance or complement its current offerings.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material
changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 4, 2025.
Basis of Presentation of Unaudited Condensed Financial Information
The unaudited condensed
financial statements of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant
to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and
footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of
normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial
position and its results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained
for a full fiscal year. The balance sheet information as of December 31, 2024 was derived from the audited financial statements included
in the Company's financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 4, 2025. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with that
report.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments
The Company considers all
highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents
may be invested in money market funds or U.S. agency bonds. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates their fair
value.
The Company may also purchase
short-term investments comprised of U.S. treasury bills and agency bonds with maturities of more than three months, but less than one
year. The Company classifies these as available-for-sale at purchase date and will reevaluate such designation at each period end date.
The Company may sell these marketable debt securities prior to their stated maturities depending upon changing liquidity requirements.
These debt securities are classified as current assets in the condensed balance sheets and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains
or losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Gains and losses are recognized
when realized. Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are reported in other income, net in the condensed
statements of operations when incurred. Unrealized gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income (loss) on the condensed
balance sheets.
Adoption of Recent Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic
740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . This new guidance requires entities on an annual basis to disclose specific categories
in the income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The
guidance applies to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, (early adoption is permitted). The Company
adopted this standard on January 1, 2025 for the annual period ending December 31, 2025. While the standard requires additional disclosures,
the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.
9
Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the FASB
issued ASU 2024-03 (as clarified by ASU 2025-01 in January 2025), Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation
Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ) (“ASU 2023-03”), requiring public entities
to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual
basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe ASU 2024-03 will have
a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosure.
In May 2025, the FASB issued
ASU 2025-04 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Clarifications
to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer (“ASU 2025-04”) which clarifies the guidance on the accounting
for share-based payment awards that are granted by an entity as consideration payable to its customer, with the intent to reduce diversity
in practice and improve existing guidance by revising the definition of a “performance condition” and eliminating a forfeiture
policy election for service conditions associated with share-based consideration payable to a customer. It also clarifies the
guidance in Topic 606 on the variable consideration constraint does not apply to share-based consideration payable to a customer
“regardless of whether an award’s grant date has occurred”. ASU 2025-04 will be effective for the annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2026 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe ASU 2025-04 will have a material
impact on its financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosure.
In September 2025, the FASB
issued ASU 2025-06 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the
Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”) . The amendments require that an entity capitalize software
costs when both: management has authorized and committed to funding the software project; and it is probable that the project will be
completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the “probable-to-complete recognition threshold”).
In evaluating the probable-to-complete recognition threshold, an entity is required to consider whether there is significant uncertainty
associated with the development activities of the software. ASU 2025-06 will be effective for the annual periods beginning after December
15, 2027. The Company does not believe ASU 2025-04 will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or financial
statement disclosure.
4.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”) states that fair value represents the amount that would
be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value
is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or
a liability. The three-tiered fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes which inputs should be used in measuring fair value, consists of:
Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted)
in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 — Inputs other than
Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, unadjusted
quoted prices in the markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data
for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs
that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s cash
equivalents and short-term investments were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as Level 1 assets.

The Company’s cash,
cash equivalents and short-term investments classified by security type as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consisted of the

REVENUE
The Company recognizes revenue
in accordance with ASC 606. The amount of revenue that the Company recognizes reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange
for goods or services and such revenue is recognized at the time when goods or services are transferred and/or delivered to its customers.
Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring the product or service to the customer, either
at a point in time or over time.. Revenue from MSTcad licenses is recognized over a period of time.

Unbilled contracts receivable
Timing of revenue recognition
may differ from the timing of invoicing customers. Accounts receivable includes amounts billed and currently due from customers. Unbilled
contracts receivable represents unbilled amounts expected to be received from customers in future periods, where the revenue recognized
to date exceeds the amount billed, and the right to receive payment is subject to the underlying contractual terms. Unbilled contracts
receivable amounts may not exceed their net realizable value and are classified as long-term assets if the payments are expected to be
received more than one year from the reporting date. The Company had no unbilled contracts receivable as of September 30, 2025.
Deferred Revenue
The Company records deferred
revenue for customers that were issued invoices, but from which the Company has not yet recognized the revenue based on its revenue recognition
policy. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has approximately $ 144,000 in deferred revenue that is expected to be recognized in the
next 12 months.
6.
BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE
Basic net loss per share
is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share
is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding and the dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s potentially dilutive
common stock equivalent shares, which include incremental common shares issuable upon (i) the exercise of outstanding stock options and
(ii) vesting of restricted stock units and (iii) restricted stock awards, are only included in the calculation of diluted net loss per
share when their effect is dilutive. Since the Company has had net losses for all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities

The Company’s
lease agreement for an epitaxial deposition tool used in the development and marketing of the Company’s technology established a
monthly lease payment of $150,000 per month. The lease contains a provision for an annual adjustment of lease payments based on tool availability
and usage during the preceding 12 months and the adjusted payment is calculated on August 1 of each year of the lease. Effective August
1, 2023, the lease payments for this tool were adjusted to $137,650 per month for the period August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2024. This
adjustment to the lease payments also resulted in a reduction in the right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and corresponding lease liability.
Effective August 1, 2024, the lease payments for this tool were adjusted to $124,071 per month for the period August 1, 2024 through July
31, 2025. This adjustment to the lease payments also resulted in a reduction in the ROU and corresponding lease liability. Effective August
1, 2025, the lease payments for this tool were adjusted to $133,125 per month for the period August 1, 2025 through April 30, 2026. The
final three months of the lease were prepaid at the commencement of the lease. This adjustment to the lease payments also resulted in
a reduction in the ROU and corresponding lease liability.
In December 2024, the Company
entered into a lease agreement for an expitaxial deposition tool in Tempe, Arizona, distinct form the tool previously mentioned. The term
of this lease is for 12 months beginning on January 1, 2025 for $95,000 per month. Since the lease term is not for more than one year
and there are no extension provisions in the lease, the future lease payments are not included in the lease obligations on the Company’s
condensed balance sheets.
