Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
−Removed: Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the
−Removed: Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SECs rules and forms.
−Removed: Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is
−Removed: accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
−Removed: Our management evaluated, with the participation of our
−Removed: principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer (our Certifying Officers), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act.
−Removed: Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
−Removed: We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all
−Removed: instances of fraud.
−Removed: Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.
−Removed: Further, the design of
−Removed: disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs.
−Removed: Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation
−Removed: of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any.
−Removed: The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions
−Removed: about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
−Removed: Internal Control over Financial Reporting
−Removed: Report on Form 10-K does not include a report of managements assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules
−Removed: of the SEC for newly public companies.
−Removed: During the most recently completed fiscal year, there has been no change in our internal control over financial
−Removed: reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
+Added: and 15d-15(e)
+Added: under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
+Added: Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
+Added: Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
+Added: and 15d-15(e)
+Added: under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.
+Added: Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as a result of the material weakness that existed in our internal control over financial reporting as described below, and which continues to exist.
+Added: Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
+Added: This Annual Report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting as allowed by the SEC for reverse acquisitions between an issuer and a private operating company when it is not possible to conduct an assessment of the private operating company’s internal control over financial reporting in the period between the consummation date of the reverse acquisition and the date of management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting (see Section 215.02 of the SEC Division of Corporation Finance’s Regulation S-K Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations).
+Added: As discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report, we completed a business combination on September 30, 2021 pursuant to which we acquired Legacy IonQ.
+Added: Prior to the business combination, we were a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
+Added: As a result, previously existing internal controls are no longer applicable or comprehensive enough as of the assessment date, as our operations prior to the business combination were insignificant compared to those of the consolidated entity post-business combination.
+Added: As a result, management was unable, without incurring unreasonable effort or expense, to complete an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021.
+Added: Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
+Added: In connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting specifically related to our financial statement close process.
+Added: Specifically,
+Added: Although we recently added accounting and financial reporting personnel with requisite knowledge and experience in the application of U.S.
+Added: GAAP and SEC rules, the Company is still in process of formalizing its processes and procedures, establishing clear authorities and approvals and segregating duties to facilitate accurate and timely financial reporting.
+Added: Our financial accounting system has limited functionality and does not facilitate effective information technology general controls relevant to financial reporting.
+Added: Additionally, elements of our close process are managed and processed outside the accounting system, increasing the risk of error.
+Added: This material weakness could result in a misstatement of account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
+Added: Remediation Efforts to Address the Material Weakness
+Added: In light of the material weakness identified, we are implementing a remediation plan which includes measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting to remediate this material weakness.
+Added: These measures include adding resources (both internal and external) as well as improving the control environment around financial systems and processes.
+Added: In 2021, the Company completed the following remedial actions:
+Added: Hired additional full-time accounting personnel with appropriate levels of experience, and augmented skills gaps with external experts;
+Added: Established and implemented policies surrounding the approval of transactions, related to, but not limited to, account reconciliations and journal entries;
+Added: Selected and began implementing a financial accounting system that can support effective information technology general controls as well as the anticipated growth of the business.
+Added: Our management believes that these actions, and additional actions to be taken under our remediation plan, are sufficient to remediate the material weakness identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: The actions we are taking are subject to ongoing senior management review, as well as Audit Committee oversight.
+Added: The material weakness will not be considered remediated until our remediation plan has been fully implemented, the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and we have concluded, through testing, that the newly implemented and enhanced controls are operating effectively.
+Added: Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm
+Added: This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm due to an exemption for “emerging growth companies.”
+Added: Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
+Added: Except as described above under Remediation Plan, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of
+Added: the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that
+Added: has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

−Removed: unless presented to such member solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the company.
−Removed: Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director
−Removed: or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be
−Removed: reasonable for us to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to us without violating another legal obligation.
−Removed: Potential investors should be aware of the following potential conflicts of interest:
−Removed: None of our officers or directors is required to commit his or her full time to our affairs and, accordingly, may
−Removed: have conflicts of interest in allocating his or her time among various business activities.
−Removed: In the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and
−Removed: business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated.

−Removed: should be presented.

−Removed: private placement shares and any public shares held by them in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination.
−Removed: Additionally, our initial stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder
−Removed: shares or private placement shares held by them if we fail to consummate our initial business combination by November 17, 2022.
−Removed: If we do not complete our initial business combination within such applicable time period, the proceeds of the sale
−Removed: of the private placement warrants held in the trust account will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares, and the private placement warrants (and the underlying securities) will expire worthless.
−Removed: With certain limited exceptions, the
−Removed: founder shares will not be transferable, assignable by the Sponsor until the earlier of:
−Removed: (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination or (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the last sale
−Removed: price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any
−Removed: 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other

−Removed: and private placement warrants and the Class A common stock underlying such warrants, will not be transferable, assignable or saleable by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees until 30 days after the completion of our initial business
−Removed: Since the Sponsor and officers and directors may directly or indirectly own common stock and warrants following our initial public offering, our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular
−Removed: target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination.

−Removed: combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.

−Removed: Such units would be identical to the private placement warrants, including as to

−Removed: The conflicts described above may not be resolved in our favor.
−Removed: In general, officers and directors of a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware are required to present business opportunities to a
−Removed: corporation if:
−Removed: the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;
−Removed: the opportunity is within the corporations line of business;
−Removed: it would not be fair to our company and its stockholders for the opportunity not to be brought to the attention
−Removed: of the corporation.
−Removed: Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal
−Removed: obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities.
−Removed: Furthermore, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity
−Removed: offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake
−Removed: and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to us without violating another legal obligation.

+Added: Policies and Procedures Regarding Transactions with Related Persons
+Added: We have adopted a written related person transactions policy that sets forth our policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and oversight of “related person transactions.” For purposes of the policy only, a “related person transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which we or any of our subsidiaries are participants involving an amount that exceeds $120,000, in which any “related person” has a material interest.
+Added: Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee, consultant or director will not be considered related person transactions under this policy.
+Added: A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee to become a director or a holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities (including the common stock), including any of their immediate family members and affiliates, including entities owned or controlled by such persons.
+Added: Under the policy, the related person in question or, in the case of transactions with a holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, an officer with knowledge of a proposed transaction, must present information regarding the proposed related person transaction to the audit committee (or, where review by the audit committee would be inappropriate, to another independent body of the board) for review.
+Added: To identify related person transactions in advance, we will rely on information supplied by our executive officers, directors and certain significant stockholders.
+Added: In considering related person transactions, the audit committee will take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances, which may include, but are not limited to:
+Added: the risks, costs, and benefits to us;
+Added: the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated;
+Added: the terms of the transaction;
+Added: the availability of other sources for comparable services or products;
+Added: the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties.
+Added: The audit committee will approve only those transactions that it determines are fair to us and in our best interests.
+Added: All of the transactions described above were entered into prior to the adoption of such policy.
+Added: Related Person Transactions
+Added: Other than compensation arrangements for our directors and executive officers, the following is a description of transactions since January 1, 2019 to which we were a party or will be a party, in which:

−Removed: The underwriters partially exercised their
−Removed: over-allotment option;
−Removed: thus, 406,250 founder shares were forfeited, resulting in an aggregate of 7,500,000 founder shares outstanding.
−Removed: Our Sponsor has
−Removed: agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the founder shares until the earlier to occur of:

−Removed: aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting commissions) at the

−Removed: underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5).
−Removed: These Public Shares will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in
−Removed: accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination

−Removed: Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders rights or

−Removed: liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
−Removed: The initial stockholders agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares
−Removed: if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

−Removed: The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in
−Removed: the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the
−Removed: redemption of the Public Shares.
−Removed: the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00.
−Removed: to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Companys independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered

−Removed: funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due
−Removed: to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or

−Removed: (the Securities Act).
−Removed: The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the
−Removed: Companys Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to
−Removed: monies held in the Trust Account.

−Removed: Prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Companys liquidity needs had been satisfied through a capital contribution
−Removed: of $25,000 from the Sponsor to purchase the Founder Shares (as defined below), the loan under the Note from the Sponsor of approximately $121,000 (see Note 4).
−Removed: Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Companys
−Removed: liquidity needs had been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account.
−Removed: To date, the Note remains outstanding.

−Removed: Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Companys officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 4).

−Removed: outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.
−Removed: Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working
−Removed: capital and borrowing capacity from the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Companys officers and directors to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing.
−Removed: Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for

+Added: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
+Added: (“IonQ” or “the Company”), formerly known as dMY Technology Group, Inc.
+Added: III (“dMY”), was incorporated in the state of Delaware in September 2020 and formed as a special purpose acquisition company for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
+Added: IonQ Quantum, Inc.
+Added: (formerly known as IonQ, Inc., and referred to as “Legacy IonQ” herein), was incorporated in the state of Delaware in September 2015 and is headquartered in College Park, Maryland.
+Added: On March 7, 2021, Legacy IonQ entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with dMY and Ion Trap Acquisition Inc.
+Added: (“Merger Sub”), a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of dMY.
+Added: Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on September 30, 2021 (“the Closing Date”), the Merger Sub was merged with and into Legacy IonQ with Legacy IonQ continuing as the surviving corporation following the Merger, becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of dMY and the separate corporate existence of the Merger Sub ceased (the “Business Combination”).
+Added: Commensurate with the Business Combination, dMY changed its name to IonQ, Inc.
+Added: and Legacy IonQ changed its name to IonQ Quantum, Inc.
+Added: After the Business Combination, IonQ’s common stock and public warrants are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbols “IONQ” and “IONQ WS,” respectively.
+Added: Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Annual Report on Form 10-K
+Added: to the “Company” and “IonQ” refer to the consolidated operations of IonQ, Inc.
+Added: and IonQ Quantum, Inc.
+Added: References to “dMY” refer to the company prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and references to “Legacy IonQ” refer to IonQ, Inc.
+Added: prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.
+Added: IonQ is engaged in quantum computing and develops general-purpose quantum computing systems designed to solve the world’s most complex problems, and transform business, society, and the planet for the better.
+Added: Prior to 2019, the Company built certain quantum computing systems solely for research & development purposes.
+Added: To operate the quantum computing systems, the Company has developed custom hardware, custom firmware, and an operating system to orchestrate the quantum computers.
+Added: During 2019, the Company began to commercialize its quantum computing systems and entered into its first significant customer agreements.
+Added: Currently, the Company permits customers to use the quantum computing systems through a quantum-computing-as-a-service
+Added: (“QCaaS”) platform.
+Added: Business Combination
+Added: While the legal acquirer in the Merger Agreement is dMY, for financial accounting and reporting purposes under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.
+Added: GAAP”), Legacy IonQ is the accounting acquirer and the merger is accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization” (i.e., a capital transaction involving the issuance of stock by dMY for the stock of Legacy IonQ).
+Added: For accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy IonQ issuing stock for the net assets of dMY, accompanied by a recapitalization.
+Added: The net assets of dMY are stated at historical cost, and no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded.
+Added: Because Legacy IonQ was deemed the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination, the historical financial statements of Legacy IonQ are the historical financial statements of the Company upon the consummation of the Business Combination.
+Added: As a result, the financial statements included in this report reflect:
+Added: (i) the historical operating results of Legacy IonQ prior to the Business Combination;
+Added: (ii) the combined results of dMY and Legacy IonQ following the close of the Business Combination on September 30, 2021;
+Added: and (iii) the assets and liabilities of Legacy IonQ stated at their historical cost.
+Added: In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the equity structure has been retroactively restated in all comparative periods up to the Closing Date to reflect the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $ 0.0001 par value per share, issued to Legacy IonQ’s stockholders in connection with the Business Combination.
+Added: As such, the shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share related to Legacy IonQ convertible redeemable preferred stock and warrants and Legacy IonQ common stock prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination.
+Added: Legacy IonQ’s convertible redeemable preferred stock and warrants previously classified as mezzanine equity were retroactively adjusted, converted into common stock, and reclassified to permanent equity because of the reverse recapitalization.
+Added: At the Closing Date, the consummation of the Merger provided approximately $ 636.0 million of gross proceeds, including $ 345.0 million from the PIPE investment in common stock at $ 10.00 per share.
+Added: In connection with the Business Combination, Legacy IonQ and dMY incurred direct and incremental costs of approximately $ 52 million related to the equity issuance, consisting primarily of banking, legal, accounting, and other professional fees, which were recorded to additional paid-in
+Added: capital as a reduction of proceeds.
+Added: Additionally, approximately $ 4.3 million in offering costs were allocated to liability-classified warrants assumed in the Merger and expensed upon the close of the Business Combination.
+Added: Sponsor Support Agreement
+Added: Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain former dMY stockholders entered into a sponsor support agreement.
+Added: Under the sponsor support agreement, and effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, 10 % of the dMY Class B common stock (or 750,000 shares), which were converted into shares of common stock at the consummation of the Business Combination, were unvested and subject to certain vesting and forfeiture provisions (the “Vesting Shares”).
+Added: These provisions provide that (i) one-third
+Added: of the Vesting Shares shall vest at such time as (x) the closing price of common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days during any period of 30 consecutive trading days or (y) IonQ consummates a subsequent transaction (as defined) on or before the date that is five years after the consummation of the Business Combination, (ii) one-third
+Added: of the Vesting Shares shall vest at such time as (x) the closing price of common stock equals or exceeds $15.00 for any 20 trading days during any period of 30 consecutive trading days or (y) IonQ consummates a subsequent transaction (as defined), on or before the date that is five years after the consummation of the Business Combination and (iii) one-third
+Added: of the Vesting Shares shall vest at such time as (x) the closing price of common stock equals or exceeds $17.50 for any 20 trading days during any period of 30 consecutive trading days or (y) IonQ consummates a subsequent transaction (as defined), on or before the date that is five years after the consummation of the Business Combination.
+Added: The Vesting Shares are accounted for as equity classified instruments and were included as merger consideration as part of the reverse recapitalization and recorded in additional paid-in
+Added: As of December 31, 2021, all of the Vesting Shares had vested and were released from any restrictions.
+Added: Segment Reporting
+Added: The Company operates as one operating segment as its chief executive officer, who is the chief operating decision maker, reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance.
+Added: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
+Added: Basis of Preparation
+Added: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
+Added: GAAP as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
+Added: Such consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IonQ and its wholly owned subsidiary.

Emerging Growth Company
−Removed: The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart
−Removed: Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the JOBS Act), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not
−Removed: limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements,
−Removed: and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
−Removed: Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised
−Removed: financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with
−Removed: the new or revised financial accounting standards.
−Removed: The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
−Removed: that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable.
−Removed: The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which
−Removed: means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or
−Removed: revised standard.
−Removed: This may make comparison of the Companys financial statements with another public company that is neither an
−Removed: emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
−Removed: Risk and Uncertainties
−Removed: 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (the COVID-19 outbreak).
−Removed: In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on
−Removed: the rapid increase in exposure globally.
−Removed: The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve.
−Removed: The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Companys results of operations, financial position and cash flows will depend on future
−Removed: developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and related advisories and restrictions.
−Removed: These developments and the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the financial markets and the overall economy are highly uncertain and cannot be
−Removed: If the financial markets and/or the overall economy are impacted for an extended period, the Companys results of operations, financial position and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.
−Removed: Additionally, the Companys
−Removed: ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be materially adversely affected due to significant governmental measures that have been, and may in the future be, implemented to contain the COVID-19 outbreak or treat its impact, including
−Removed: travel restrictions, the shutdown of businesses and quarantines, among others, which may limit the Companys ability to have meetings with potential investors or affect the ability of a potential target companys personnel, vendors and
−Removed: service providers to negotiate and consummate an initial Business Combination in a timely manner.
−Removed: The Companys ability to consummate an initial Business Combination may also be dependent on the ability to raise additional equity and debt
−Removed: financing, which may be impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak and the resulting market downturn.
+Added: The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).
+Added: Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies.
+Added: The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it is (i) no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act.
+Added: As a result, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
+Added: The Company remains an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) December 31, 2025, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which the Company has total annual gross revenue of at least $ 1.07 billion, (iii) the last day of the fiscal year in which the Company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of the Company’s common stock that is held by non-affiliates
+Added: exceeds $ 700.0 million as of the prior June 30th or (iv) the date on which the Company has issued more than $ 1.0 billion in non-convertible
+Added: debt securities during the prior three-year period.
Use of Estimates
−Removed: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
−Removed: amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
−Removed: Making estimates requires management to
−Removed: exercise significant judgment.
−Removed: It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its
−Removed: estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events.
−Removed: Actual results could differ from those estimates.
+Added: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
+Added: GAAP and regulations of the U.S.
+Added: Securities and Exchange Commission requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes.
+Added: Significant estimates and judgments are inherent in the analysis and measurement of items including, but not limited to:
+Added: revenue recognition, capitalization of internally developed software and quantum computing costs, useful lives of long-lived assets, commitments and contingencies, fair value of available-for-sale
+Added: securities, forecasts and assumptions used in determining the fair value of historically granted common stock, stock options and warrants prior to the Business Combination and forecasts and assumptions used in determining the fair value of private placement warrant liabilities.
+Added: Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, expectations, forecasts, and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
+Added: Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may differ and be affected by changes in those estimates.
+Added: Fair Value Measurements
+Added: The Company evaluates the fair value of certain assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy.
+Added: Fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
+Added: Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
+Added: Level 1—Observable inputs, which include quoted prices in active markets;
+Added: Level 2—Observable inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs such as broker quotes, benchmark yield curves, credit spreads and market interest rates for similar securities that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities;
+Added: Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are based on management’s assumptions, including fair value measurements determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques.
+Added: The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.
+Added: For assets that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, the total fair value is the published market price per unit multiplied by the number of units held, without consideration of transaction costs.
+Added: Assets and liabilities that are measured using significant other observable inputs are primarily valued by reference to quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, adjusted for any terms specific to that asset or liability.
+Added: Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring
+Added: basis include property and equipment and intangible assets.
+Added: The Company recognizes these items at fair value when they are considered to be impaired or upon initial recognition when acquired through a business combination or an asset acquisition.
+Added: The fair value of these assets and liabilities are determined with valuation techniques using the best information available and may include quoted market prices, market comparable and discounted cash flow models.
+Added: Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements approximates the fair value for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses.
+Added: Cash and Cash Equivalents
+Added: Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, checking deposits and money market funds.
+Added: The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
+Added: Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
+Added: Accounts receivable are non-interest
+Added: bearing and stated at the gross invoiced amount.
+Added: A receivable is recorded when the Company has an unconditional right to receive payment based on the satisfaction of performance obligations.
+Added: Accounts receivable consists of the following at December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):
+Added: Billed accounts receivable
+Added: Unbilled accounts receivable
+Added: On a periodic basis, management evaluates its accounts receivable and determines whether to provide an allowance or if any accounts should be written off.
+Added: This assessment is based on management’s evaluation of the past due receivables, collectability of specific accounts, historical loss experience and overall economic conditions.
+Added: The Company did no t have any allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
+Added: Management determines the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase based upon management’s intent with regard to such investments.
+Added: Investments are classified as available-for-sale
+Added: at the time of purchase if they are available to support either current or future operations.
+Added: This classification is re-evaluated
+Added: at each balance sheet date.
+Added: Investments not considered cash equivalents, with remaining contractual maturities of one year or less from the balance sheet date are classified as short-term investments, and those with remaining contractual maturities greater than one year from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term investments.
+Added: All investments are recorded at their estimated fair value, and any unrealized gains and losses are recorded in
+Added: accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
+Added: Realized gains and losses on sales and maturities of investments are determined based on the specific identification method and are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense), net.
+Added: The Company performs periodic evaluations to determine whether any declines in the fair value of investments below cost are other-than-temporary.
+Added: The evaluation consists of qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the severity and duration of the unrealized loss, as well as the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investments until a forecasted recovery occurs.
+Added: The impairments are considered to be other-than-temporary if they are related to deterioration in credit risk or if it is likely that the underlying securities will be sold prior to a full recovery of their cost basis.
+Added: Other-than-temporary fair value impairments are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations.
+Added: Property and Equipment, Net
+Added: Property and equipment, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
+Added: Historical cost of fixed assets is the cost as of the date acquired.
+Added: Prior to 2019, the Company built certain quantum computing systems solely for research and development purposes and these quantum computing systems were deemed to have no alternative future use.
+Added: In 2019, the Company began to commercialize its quantum computing systems via the offering of QCaaS and quantum computing systems built thereafter were determined to provide a probable future economic benefit.
+Added: As a result, hardware and labor costs associated with the building of such quantum computing systems were capitalized.
+Added: Costs to maintain quantum computing systems are expensed as incurred.
+Added: Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
+Added: Useful lives are as follows:
+Added: Computer equipment and acquired computer software
+Added: Machinery, equipment, furniture and fixtures
+Added: Quantum computing systems
+Added: Leasehold improvements
+Added: Shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the related asset
+Added: The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception.
+Added: Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use
+Added: (“ROU”) assets and current operating lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities, net of current portion on our consolidated balance sheets.
+Added: As of December 31, 2021, the Company has no financing lease arrangements.
+Added: The Company recognizes lease expense for its operating leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
+Added: The Company records a ROU asset and lease liability in connection with its operating leases.
+Added: The Company’s lease portfolio is comprised primarily of a real estate lease, which is accounted for as an operating lease.
+Added: The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease
+Added: components for all leases.
+Added: ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term.
+Added: Operating lease ROU assets also include the impact of any lease incentives.
+Added: Amendments to a lease are assessed to determine if it represents a lease modification or a separate contract.
+Added: Lease modifications are reassessed as of the effective date of the modification using an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date.
+Added: For modified leases the Company also reassesses the lease classification as of the effective date of the modification.
+Added: The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, because the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable.
+Added: The incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located.
+Added: The Company’s lease terms include periods under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
+Added: The Company considers contractual-based factors such as the nature and terms of the renewal or termination, asset-based factors such as physical location of the asset and entity-based factors such as the importance of the leased asset to the Company’s operations to determine the lease term.
+Added: The Company generally uses the base, non-cancelable,
+Added: lease term when determining the ROU assets and lease liabilities.
+Added: Intangible Assets, Net
+Added: The Company’s intangible assets include website domain costs, patents, intellectual property and trademarks.
+Added: Intangible assets with identifiable useful lives such as patents and intellectual property are initially valued at acquisition cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, which is generally 20 years.
+Added: With respect to patents, acquisition costs include external legal and patent application costs.
+Added: Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are assessed for impairment at least annually.
+Added: Capitalized Internally Developed Software
+Added: Capitalized internally developed software, which is included in intangible assets, net, consists of costs to purchase and develop internal-use
+Added: software, which the Company uses to provide services to its customers.
+Added: The costs to purchase and develop internal-use
+Added: software are capitalized from the time that the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is considered probable that the software will be used to perform the function intended, until the time the software is placed in service for its intended use.
+Added: Any costs incurred during subsequent efforts to upgrade and enhance the functionality of the software are also capitalized.
+Added: Once this software is ready for use as part of the Company’s service offerings, these costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, which is typically assessed to be 3 years.
+Added: During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company capitalized $ 1.7 million and $ 1.2 million in internal-use
+Added: software costs, respectively.
+Added: The Company amortized $ 0.8 million sand and $ 0.3 million of capitalized internally developed software costs during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
+Added: Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
+Added: Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and other long-term assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
+Added: If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying amount.
+Added: If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the underlying asset exceeds its fair value.
+Added: No impairment loss was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2021 or 2020.
+Added: Early Exercise of Stock Options
+Added: Stock options granted under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan provide employee option holders, if approved by the Board, the right to exercise unvested options in exchange for restricted common stock, which is subject to a repurchase right held by the Company at the lower of (i) the fair market value of its common stock on the date of repurchase or (ii) the original purchase price.
+Added: Early exercises of options are not deemed to be substantive exercises for accounting purposes and accordingly, amounts received for early exercises are recorded as a liability.
+Added: These amounts are reclassified to common stock and additional paid-in capital as the underlying shares vest.
+Added: Warrant Liabilities
+Added: The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued
+Added: upon exercise or at each reporting date for the unexercised warrants, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations.
+Added: The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.
+Added: The warrants of dMY assumed in the Business Combination are classified as liabilities and remeasured at each reporting period (as more fully described in Note 12).
+Added: The determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly.
+Added: Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as
+Added: their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.
+Added: Revenue Recognition
+Added: The Company derives revenue from providing access to its QCaaS and professional services related to co-developing
+Added: algorithms on the quantum computing systems.
+Added: The Company applies the provisions of the FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), and all related applicable guidance.
+Added: The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity shall recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
+Added: To support this core principle, the Company applies the following five step approach:
+Added: Identify the contract with the customer
+Added: Identify the performance obligations
+Added: Determine the transaction price
+Added: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
+Added: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
+Added: The Company has determined that its QCaaS contracts represent a combined, stand-ready performance obligation to provide access to its quantum computing systems together with related maintenance and support.
+Added: The transaction price generally includes a variable fee based on usage of its quantum computing systems and may include a fixed fee for a minimum volume of usage to be made available over a defined period of access.
+Added: Fixed fee arrangements may also include a variable component whereby customers pay an amount for usage over contractual minimums contained in the contracts.
+Added: For contracts with a fixed transaction price, the fixed fee is recognized as QCaaS subscription-based revenues on a straight-line basis over the access period.
+Added: For contracts without fixed fees, variable usage fees are billed and recognized during the period of such usage.
+Added: As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, all of the revenue recognized by the Company was recognized based on transfer of service over time.
+Added: There were no revenues recognized at a point in time.
+Added: In arrangements with cloud service providers, the cloud service provider is considered the customer and IonQ does not have any contractual relationships with the cloud service providers’ end users.
+Added: For these arrangements, revenue is recognized at the amount charged to the cloud service provider and does not reflect any mark-up
+Added: to the end user.
+Added: The Company may enter into multiple contracts with a single counterparty at or near the same time.
+Added: The Company will combine contracts and account for them as a single contract when one or more of the following criteria are met:
+Added: (i) the contracts are negotiated as a package with a single commercial objective;
+Added: (ii) consideration to be paid in one contract depends on the price or performance of the other contract;
+Added: and (iii) goods or services promised are a single performance obligation.
+Added: The Company has entered into one revenue
+Added: arrangement in which it granted warrants to the counterparty.
+Added: Refer to Note 11—Warrant Transaction Agreement for further information on the customer warrants.
+Added: Billed and unbilled accounts receivable relate to the Company’s rights to consideration as performance obligations are satisfied when the rights to payment become unconditional but for the passage of time.
+Added: The variable fees associated with the QCaaS are generally billed a month in arrears.
+Added: Customers also have the ability to make advance payments.
+Added: If a contract exists under ASC 606, advance payments are recorded as a contract liability until services are delivered or obligations are met and revenue is earned.
+Added: Contract liabilities to be recognized in the succeeding 12-month
+Added: period are classified as current and the remaining amounts are classified as non-current
+Added: liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
+Added: As of December 31, 2021, approximately $ 22.1 million of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) for non-cancelable
+Added: The Company expects to recognize revenue of $ 7.2 million, $6.7 million and $5.2 million related to these remaining performance obligations in the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively, with the remainder recognized thereafter.
+Added: The Company has not estimated the timing of revenue recognition for the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations related to usage-based contracts as the timing of customer usage cannot be predicted given the limited historical data.
+Added: Total deferred revenues, including both current and noncurrent, were $5.0 million and $1.4 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
+Added: The change in deferred revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to cash payments received for which the performance obligation was not satisfied prior to the end of the period, partially offset by revenue recognized during the period, of which $0.2 million was included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2020 .
+Added: For contractual arrangements where consideration is paid up-front,
+Added: the transfer of the quantum computing services is completed at the discretion of the customer as the customer chooses to use the services starting from the date of contract inception.
+Added: As such, the up-front
+Added: payment of consideration does not represent a significant financing component.
+Added: Cost to Obtain a Contract
+Added: Applying the practical expedient, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets is one year or less.
+Added: For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has not incurred any material incremental costs of obtaining contracts.
+Added: Cost of Revenue
+Added: Cost of revenue primarily consists of expenses related to delivering the Company’s services, including direct labor costs, direct service costs and allocated shared resources.
+Added: Cost of revenue excludes depreciation and amortization related to the Company’s quantum computing systems and related software.
+Added: Research and Development
+Added: Research and development expenses consist of personnel costs, including stock-based compensation expense, and allocated shared resource costs for the Company’s hardware, software and engineering personnel who design and develop the Company’s quantum computing systems and research new quantum computing technologies.
+Added: Unlike a standard computer, design and development efforts continue throughout the useful life of the Company’s quantum computing systems to ensure proper calibration and optimal functionality.
+Added: Research and development expenses also include purchased hardware and software costs related to quantum computing
+Added: systems constructed for research purposes that are not probable of providing future economic benefit and have no alternate future use.
+Added: In December 2020, the Company amended its option agreement with Duke University (“Duke”), and under this amendment, the Company issued common shares to Duke in consideration for research and development services through July 15, 2026.
+Added: The amended arrangement is considered a research and development service arrangement and recorded as a prepayment based on the fair value of the common stock issued on the effective date of the amendment and amortized over the term of the arrangement as services are received.
+Added: In February 2021, the Company and the University of Maryland (“UMD”) amended the option agreement with UMD pursuant to which the Company issued shares of common stock to UMD as a nonrefundable upfront payment in exchange for research and development services by UMD and rights to any potential future intellectual property developed through July 2021.
+Added: The amended arrangement is considered a research and development service arrangement and recorded as a prepayment based on the fair value of the common stock issued on the effective date of the amendment and amortized over the term of the arrangement as services are received.
+Added: See Note 7—Agreements with UMD and Duke for further information.
+Added: Advertising Costs
+Added: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in sales and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
+Added: These costs were $ 1.1 million and $ 0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
+Added: Stock-Based Compensation
+Added: The Company measures and records the expense related to stock-based awards based on the fair value of those awards as determined on the date of grant.
+Added: The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grant, generally equal to the vesting period and uses the straight-line method to recognize stock-based compensation.
+Added: The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black- Scholes”) option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock awards and the estimated fair value for stock options.
+Added: The Black-Scholes option- pricing model requires the use of subjective assumptions, which determine the fair value of share-based awards, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the option’s expected term, the price volatility of the underlying common stock, risk-free interest rates, and the expected dividend yield of the common stock.
+Added: The assumptions used to determine the fair value of the stock awards represent management’s best estimates.
+Added: These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.
+Added: The Company records forfeitures as they occur.
+Added: The Company obtained third-party valuations to estimate the fair value of its common stock for awards granted prior to the Business Combination, for purposes of measuring stock-based compensation expense.
+Added: The third-party valuations were prepared using methodologies, approaches, and assumptions consistent with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Accounting & Valuation Guide, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation.
+Added: Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method.
+Added: Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in recognizing certain income, expense and credit items for financial reporting purposes and tax reporting purposes.
+Added: Such deferred income taxes primarily relate to the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts.
+Added: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the future years in which deferred tax assets or liabilities are
+Added: expected to be settled or realized.
+Added: Excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies from stock option exercises are recognized in the income tax provision in the period in which they occur.
+Added: The Company records a valuation allowance when it determines, based on available positive and negative evidence, that it is more-likely-than-
+Added: that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized.
+Added: The Company determines the realizability of its deferred tax assets primarily based on the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and projections of future taxable income (exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards).
+Added: In evaluating such projections, the Company considers its history of profitability, the competitive environment, and general economic conditions.
+Added: In addition, the Company considers the time frame over which it would take to utilize the deferred tax assets prior to their expiration.
+Added: For certain tax positions, the Company uses a more-likely-than-not
+Added: threshold based on the technical merits of the tax position taken.
+Added: Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not
+Added: recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefits determined on a cumulative probability basis, which are more-likely-than-not
+Added: to be realized upon ultimate settlement in the financial statements.
+Added: The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
+Added: However, there were no amounts recognized relating to interest and penalties in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
+Added: The Company had no uncertain income tax positions as of December 31,2021 and 2020.
+Added: Concentrations of Credit Risk
+Added: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, investments, and trade accounts receivable.
+Added: The Company maintains the majority of its cash, cash equivalents and investments with two financial institutions, both of which management believes to be financially sound and with minimal credit risk.
+Added: The Company’s deposits periodically exceed amounts guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
+Added: The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from customers primarily located in the U.S.
+Added: The Company performs periodic evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require its customers to provide collateral or other security to support accounts receivable and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts.
+Added: Credit losses historically have not been material.
+Added: Significant customers are those which represent more than 10 %
+Added: of the Company’s total revenue or gross accounts receivable.
+Added: The Company’s revenue was primarily from two significant customers for the year ended December 31, 2021.
+Added: While we generated revenue in 2020, we executed an arrangement with a customer for the issuance of a warrant to purchase shares of Legacy IonQ Series B-1 convertible redeemable preferred stock.
+Added: The warrant was evaluated and considered to represent consideration provided to a customer and as such, the recognition of the warrant expense is recorded as a reduction in revenue as revenue is earned under the contract.
+Added: Other than this customer, the Company did not have any other significant customers for the year ended December 31, 2020.
+Added: The Company’s accounts receivable was from two significant customers as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
+Added: Earnings (Loss) Per Share
+Added: Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
+Added: Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock during the period, plus common stock equivalents, outstanding during the period.
+Added: If the Company reports a net loss, the computation of diluted loss per share excludes the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, as their effect would be antidilutive.
+Added: Earnings (loss) per share calculations for all periods have been retroactively restated to reflect the conversion of the Company’s convertible redeemable preferred stock and the equivalent number of shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the reverse capitalization.
+Added: The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders (in thousands, except share and per share data):
+Added: Year Ended December 31,
+Added: Net loss attributable to common stockholders
+Added: Weighted average shares used in computing net loss per share attributable to common stockholders—basic and diluted
+Added: Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders—basic and diluted
+Added: In periods with a reported net loss, the effect of anti-dilutive stock options, unvested common stock (including unvested restricted common stock) and warrants are excluded and diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share.
+Added: The following is a summary of the weighted average common stock equivalents for the securities outstanding during the respective periods that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share, as their effect would be anti-dilutive:
+Added: Year Ended December 31
+Added: Common stock options outstanding
+Added: Warrants to purchase common stock
+Added: Unvested common stock
+Added: Public and private warrants
+Added: Unvested founders’ shares
+Added: Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
+Added: In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40):
+Added: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.
+Added: ASU 2018-15 requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to defer and recognize as an asset.
+Added: The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021.
+Added: The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2021 prospectively to all new implementation costs incurred after adoption.
+Added: The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
+Added: Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
+Added: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,
+Added: Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, along with various updates and improvements.
+Added: The standard, including subsequently issued amendments, requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost basis, such as accounts receivable and certain other financial assets, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount.
+Added: is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted.
+Added: Based on the composition of the Company’s trade receivables and other financial assets, current market conditions and historical credit loss activity, the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
+Added: In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06,
+Added: Debt, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)
+Added: and Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)
+Added: Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.
+Added: The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S.
+Added: Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features.
+Added: The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for the exception.
+Added: The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas.
+Added: The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted.
+Added: The Company does not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
+Added: CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS

+Added: As of December 31, 2021, the contract allows for the customer to acquire up to 8,301,202 shares of common stock in the Company.
+Added: As the Warrant Shares were issued in connection with an existing commercial agreement with a customer, the value of the Warrant Shares was determined to be consideration payable to the customer and consequently is treated as a reduction to revenue recognized under the corresponding revenue arrangement.
+Added: Approximately 6.5 % of the Warrant Shares vested and became immediately exercisable in August 2020.

+Added: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
+Added: Equity Incentive Plans
+Added: The Company has a 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which provided for the grant of stock-based compensation in the form of awards of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, to certain officers, directors, employees, consultants, and advisors to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.
+Added: Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, no further awards will be made pursuant to the 2015 Plan and all outstanding Legacy IonQ stock options under the 2015 Plan were assumed by the Company.
+Added: Each Legacy IonQ stock option issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination was converted into an option to purchase shares of common stock of the Company equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Legacy IonQ common stock subject to such Legacy IonQ stock option agreement immediately prior to the Business Combination and (b) the exchange ratio at an exercise price equal to the (i) the exercise price per share of such Legacy IonQ stock option divided by (ii) the exchange ratio.

+Added: Initially, a maximum of 26,235,000 shares of common stock may be issued under the 2021 Plan.

+Added: No shares or awards were granted under the 2021 Plan as of December 31, 2021.
+Added: Stock Options
+Added: The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option- pricing model.
+Added: The Black-Scholes option- pricing model requires estimates of highly subjective assumptions, which affect the fair value of each stock option.
+Added: Expected Volatility—As the Company was privately held at the date of the grant and there has been no public market for its common stock prior to closing the Business Combination, the expected volatility is based on the average historical stock price volatility of comparable publicly- traded companies in its industry peer group, financial, and market capitalization data.
+Added: Expected Term—The expected term of the Company’s options represents the period that the stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding.
+Added: The Company has estimated the expected term of its employee awards using the SAB Topic 14 Simplified Method allowed by the FASB and SEC, for calculating expected term as it has limited historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to otherwise estimate expected term.
+Added: Certain of the Company’s options began vesting prior to the grant date, in which case the Company uses the remaining vesting term at the grant date in the expected term calculation.
+Added: Risk-Free Interest Rate—The Company estimates its risk-free interest rate by using the yield on actively traded non-inflation-indexed
+Added: treasury securities with contract maturities equal to the expected term.
+Added: Dividend Yield—The Company has not declared or paid dividends to date and does not anticipate declaring dividends.
+Added: As such, the dividend yield has been estimated to be zero.
+Added: Fair Value of Underlying Common Stock—Because the Company’s common stock was not yet publicly traded on the date of grant, the Company estimated the fair value of common stock prior to closing the Business Combination.
+Added: The Board of Directors considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of the Company’s common stock at each meeting in which awards are approved.
+Added: The factors considered include, but are not limited to:
+Added: (i) the results of contemporaneous independent third-party valuations of the Company’s common stock;
+Added: (ii) the prices, rights, preferences, and privileges of Legacy IonQ’s previously Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock relative to those of its common stock;
+Added: (iii) the lack of marketability of the Company’s common stock;
+Added: (iv) actual operating and financial results;
+Added: (v) current business conditions and projections;
+Added: (vi) the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or sale of the Company, given prevailing market conditions;
+Added: and (vii) precedent transactions involving the Company’s shares.
+Added: The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:
+Added: Risk-free interest rate
+Added: Expected term (in years)
+Added: Expected volatility
+Added: Dividend yield

+Added: The tax credit carryforwards will expire between 2025 and 2041.
+Added: The deductibility of such credits and net operating losses (“NOL”) may be limited.
+Added: Under Section 383 and 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and corresponding provisions of state law, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” which generally occurs if the percentage of the corporation’s stock owned by 5 % stockholders increases by more than 50 % over a three-year period, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change,

+Added: tax attributes to offset its post-change income, may be limited.
+Added: We have not determined if we have experienced Section 383/382 ownership changes in the past and if a portion of our NOL and tax credit carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation.
+Added: In addition, we may experience ownership changes in the future as a result of subsequent shifts in our stock ownership, some of which may be outside of our control.
+Added: If we determine that an ownership change has occurred and our ability to use our historical NOL and tax credit carryforwards is significantly limited, it would harm our future operating results by effectively increasing our future tax obligations.
