Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(1) General Information
Business Overview
The terms “Astrotech”, “the Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our” refer to Astrotech Corporation (Nasdaq: ASTC), a Delaware corporation organized in1984.
Our mission is to expand access to mass spectrometry ("MS") and its use through the deployment of devices designed specifically for the appropriate levels of precision required in high-volume, real-time testing environments such as airports, border checkpoints, cargo hubs, infrastructure security, correctional facilities, military bases, law enforcement centers, and industrial locations. The Astrotech Mass Spectrometer Technology™ (“AMS Technology”) platform achieves our mission through simplifying the user interface, automating the complicated calibration process, ruggedizing the critical components to endure MS field work, and enabling multiple configurations for sample intake options.
We are commercializing the AMS Technology through application specific, wholly owned subsidiaries described below.
| ● | Astrotech Technologies, Inc. (“ATI”) owns and licenses the intellectual property related to the AMS Technology. |
| ● | 1st Detect Corporation (“1st Detect”) is a manufacturer of explosives trace detectors ("ETDs") and narcotics trace detectors (“NTDs”) developed for use in security and detection at airports, border checkpoints, cargo hubs, infrastructure security, correctional facilities, military bases, and law enforcement centers. 1st Detect holds an exclusive AMS Technology license from ATI for narcotics, air passenger and cargo security applications. |
| ● | AgLAB, Inc. (“AgLAB”) is developing a series of mass spectrometers for use in the hemp and cannabis market with initial focus on optimizing yields in the distillation processes. AgLAB holds an exclusive AMS Technology license from ATI for applications in the agriculture industry which require analyzing complex chemical compounds found in organic plant material and extracts. |
| ● | BreathTech Corporation (“BreathTech”) is developing a breath analysis tool to screen for volatile organic compound (“VOC”) metabolites found in a person’s breath that could indicate a compromised condition including but not limited to a bacterial or viral infection. BreathTech holds an exclusive AMS Technology license from ATI for breath analysis applications. |
| ● | Pro-Control, Inc. (“Pro-Control”) is focused on applying the AMS Technology in industrial process control applications. The mass spectrometer and process are designed to test, measure and increase reaction intermediates, purity and percent yields in industrial processes. Pro-Control holds an exclusive AMS Technology license from ATI for the distillation of chemicals outside of the agriculture industry. |
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for the accounts of Astrotech Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual outcomes* maydiffer from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for thethree* months ended* December 31, 2024*, arenot necessarily indicative of the results that* maybe expected for the year ending June 30,2025. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024*. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation or adjusted due to rounding and have hadno impact on net income or stockholders' equity.

Segment Information
The Company has determined that it doesnot meet the criteria of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)280 “Segment Reporting”. Management has concluded that our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is our chief executive officer. The Company’s CODM reviews the entire organization’s consolidated results as a whole monthly to evaluate performance and make resource allocation decisions. Management views the Company’s operations and manages its business as one operating segment.
Accounting Pronouncements
In* June 2016,the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU2016*-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses (“CECL”) to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The standard became effective for the Company for financial statements periods beginning afterDecember 15, 2022. The adoption of ASU2016-13 on* July 1, 2023,didnot* have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In* July 2023,the FASBissued ASU No 2023*-03, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic480), Equity (Topic505), and Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic718)” pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting BulletinNo. 120, which adds interpretive guidance for public companies to consider when entering into share-based payment transactions while in possession of material non-public information. The effective date of this update is for fiscal years beginning after* December 15, 2023,including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this on July 1, 2024,didnot* have a material impact on its financial statements.
In August2020, the FASB issuedASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The amendments inASU No. 2020-06 simplify the complexity associated with applying GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. More specifically, the amendments focus on the guidance for convertible instruments and derivative scope exceptions for contracts in an entity’s own equity. For smaller reporting companies,ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this on* July 1, 2024,didnot* have a material impact on its financial statements.
In* November 2023,the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update2023*-07—Segment Reporting (Topic280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. All public entities will be required to report segment information in accordance with the new guidance starting in annual periods beginning after* December 15, 2023.The adoption of this on July 1, 2024,didnot* have a material impact on its financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting StandardsNot Yet Adopted
In* December 2023,the FASB issued ASU2023*-09, “Income Taxes (Topic740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The guidance addresses investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after* December 15, 2024.*We are assessing the impact of this guidance on our disclosures.
In* November 2024,the FASB also issued ASU2024*-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which will require the disclosure of additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after* December 15, 2026,and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027.For us, annual reporting requirements will be effective for our fiscal year2028* beginning on* July 1, 2027,and interim reporting requirements will be effective beginning with ourfirst* quarter of fiscal year2029. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended disclosure guidance.
Other accounting pronouncements issued butnot yet effective arenot believed by management to be relevant or to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

(3) Leases
On* April 27, 2021,Astrotech entered into a new lease for a research and development facility of approximately 5,960 square feet in Austin, Texas (the “R&D facility”) that includes a laboratory, a small production shop, and offices for staff, although many of the Company’s employees continue to work remotely. The lease commenced on June 1, 2021,and had a lease term of 36 months. On November 11, 2022,the Company signed a lease extension agreement for the R&D facility, extending the term of the lease through April 30, 2025.The Company’s total contractual base rent obligation for theeleven*-month extension is approximately $95 thousand.
On* November 22, 2022,Astrotech entered into a sublease agreement for an additional facility directly adjacent to the R&D facility (the “Subleased facility”). The Subleased Facility consists of approximately 3,900 square feet and will provide the space needed as the Company launches its AgLAB products and continues its R&D efforts at ATI and BreathTech. The sublease commenced on December 1, 2022,*and has a lease term of 29 months. The Company’s total contractual base rent obligation for the Subleased facility is approximately $156 thousand. The combined R&D facility and the Subleased facility are referred to as the “Donley facilities.”

Operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases donot provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. Significant judgement is required when determining the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Total depreciation and amortization expense includes finance lease right-of-use asset amortization of $31 thousand for each of thethree months ended* December 31, 2024,and2023*, respectively. Total depreciation and amortization expense includes finance lease right-of-use asset amortization of $63 thousand and $72 thousand for each of thesix months ended* December 31, 2024*, and2023, respectively.

(7) Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and the if-converted method. Potentially dilutive common shares include outstanding stock options and share-based awards.
The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the computations of both basic and diluted net loss per share:
| Three Months Ended · Six Months Ended | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, | December 31, | |||
| (In thousands, except per share data) | 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 |
| Numerator: | ||||
| Net loss | $(4,009) | $(2,641) | $(7,287) | $(5,553) |
| Denominator: | ||||
| Denominator for basic and diluted net loss per share — weighted average common stock outstanding | 1,638 | 1,631 | 1,634 | 1,631 |

All unvested restricted stock awards and convertible Series D preferred shares for thesix months ended* December 31, 2024*, arenot included in diluted net loss per share, as the impact to net loss per share would be anti-dilutive. Options to purchase 220,349 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $6.99 to $175.50 per share outstanding as of* December 31, 2024*, werenot included in diluted net loss per share, as the impact to net loss per share would be anti-dilutive.
(8) Revenue Recognition
Astrotech recognizes revenue employing the generally accepted revenue recognition methodologies described under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic606”), which was adopted by the Company in fiscal year2019. The methodology used is based on contract type and how products and services are provided. The guidelines of Topic606 establish afive-step process to govern the recognition and reporting of revenue from contracts with customers. Thefive steps are: (i) identify the contract with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations within the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations within the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. Revenue was recognized at a point in time consistent with the guidelines in Topic606.
Contract Assets and Liabilities.
The Company enters into contracts to sell products and provide services, and it recognizes contract assets and liabilities that arise from these transactions. The Company recognizes revenue and corresponding accounts receivable according to Topic606 and, at times, recognizes revenue in advance of the time when contracts give us the right to invoice a customer. The Company* mayalso receive consideration, per the terms of a contract, from customers prior to transferring goods to the customer. The Company records customer deposits as deferred revenue. Additionally, the Company may*receive payments, most typically for service and warranty contracts, at the onset of the contract and before services have been performed. In such instances, the Company records a deferred revenue liability. The Company recognizes these contract liabilities as sales after all revenue recognition criteria are met.
Practical Expedients. In cases where the Company is responsible for shipping after the customer has obtained control of the goods, the Company has elected to treat the shipping activities as fulfillment activities rather than as a separate performance obligation. Additionally, the Company has elected to capitalize the cost to obtain a contract only if the period of amortization would be longer thanone year. The Company only considers whether a customer agreement has a financing component if the period between transfer of goods and services and customer payment is greater thanone year.
Product Sales. The Company recognizes revenue from sales of products upon shipment or delivery when control of the product transfers to the customer, depending on the terms of each sale, and when collection is probable. In the circumstance where terms of a product sale include subjective customer acceptance criteria, revenue is deferred until the Company has achieved the acceptance criteria unless the customer acceptance criteria are perfunctory or inconsequential. The Company generally offers customers payment terms of60 days or less.
*Freight.*The Company records shipping and handling fees that it charges to its customers as revenue and related costs as cost of revenue.
Multiple Performance Obligations. Certain agreements with customers include the sale of equipment involving multiple elements in cases where obligations in a contract are distinct and thus require separation into multiple performance obligations, revenue recognition guidance requires that contract consideration be allocated to each distinct performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The value allocated to each performance obligation is then recognized as revenue when the revenue recognition criteria for each distinct promise or bundle of promises has been met.
The standalone selling price for each performance obligation is an amount that depicts the amount of consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the good or service. When there is onlyone performance obligation associated with a contract, the entire amount of consideration is attributed to that obligation. When a contract contains multiple performance obligations, the standalone selling price isfirst estimated using the observable price, which is generally a list price net of an applicable discount, or the price used to sell the good or service in similar circumstances. In circumstances when a selling price isnot directly observable, the Company will estimate the standalone selling price using information available to it including its market assessment and expected cost, plus margin.
The timetable for fulfilment of each of the distinct performance obligations can range from completion in a short amount of time and entirely within a single reporting period to completion over several reporting periods. The timing of revenue recognition for each performance obligation* may*be dependent upon several milestones, including physical delivery of equipment, completion of site acceptance test, and in the case of after-market consumables and service deliverables, the passage of time.

(9) Fair Value Measurement
ASC Topic820 “Fair Value Measurement” (“Topic820”) defines fair value, establishes a market-based framework or hierarchy for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Topic820 is applicable whenever assets and liabilities are measured and included in the financial statements at fair value. The fair value hierarchy established in Topic820 prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques intothree levels as follows:
Level1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level2 - Inputs other than Level1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that arenot 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.
Level3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little orno market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The following tables present the carrying amounts, estimated fair values, and valuation input levels of certain financial instruments as of* December 31, 2024*, and* June 30, 2024*:
| Carrying · Fair Value Measured Using · Fair | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In thousands) | Amount | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Value |
| Available-for-Sale Investments | |||||
| Short-Term Investments | |||||
| Mutual Funds - Corporate & Government Debt | 14,457 | 14,457 | — | — | 14,457 |
| ETFs - Corporate & Government Debt | 7,074 | 7,074 | — | — | 7,074 |
| Total Available-for-Sale Investments | $21,531 | $21,531 | $— | $— | $21,531 |
| Carrying · Fair Value Measured Using · Fair | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In thousands) | Amount | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Value |
| Available-for-Sale Investments | |||||
| Short-Term Investments | |||||
| Mutual Funds - Corporate & Government Debt | 14,426 | 14,426 | — | — | 14,426 |
| ETFs - Corporate & Government Debt | 7,048 | 7,048 | — | — | 7,048 |
| Total Available-for-Sale Investments | $21,474 | $21,474 | $— | $— | $21,474 |
The value of available-for-sale securities with Level1 inputs is based on pricing fromthird-party pricing vendors, who use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The fair value measurements used for time deposits are considered Level2 and use pricing fromthird-party pricing vendors who use quoted prices for identical or similar securities in both active and inactive markets.
The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities at fair value or cost, which approximates fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rates of interest.
As of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets date, certain investment securities are required to be recorded at fair value with the change in fair value during the period being recorded as an unrealized gain or loss.

(12) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely thannot to be realized. As of* December 31, 2024,*the Company has a valuation allowance against all of its net deferred tax assets.
For thesix months ended* December 31, 2024,and2023,* the Company incurred pre-tax losses in the amount of $7.3 million and $5.5 million, respectively. The total effective tax rate was approximately 0% forsix months ended* December 31, 2024,and2023.*
For each of thesix months ended* December 31, 2024,and2023,* the Company’s effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the valuation allowance placed against its net deferred tax assets.
The Inflation Reduction Act and the Chips and Science Act were enacted in* August 2022.There isno* material impact to the Company from these new tax laws.
FASB ASC740, “Income Taxes” addresses the accounting for uncertainty in income tax recognized in an entity’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Company currently has approximately $593 thousand of uncertain tax positions as of* December 31, 2024,all of which are accounted as contra-deferred tax assets. The Company doesnot* expect any significant changes to its uncertain tax positions in the coming12 months.
Loss carryovers are generally subject to modification by tax authorities untilthree years after they have been utilized; as such, the Company is subject to examination for the fiscal years ended2001 through present for federal purposes and fiscal years ended2006 through present for state purposes.

(13) Commitments and Contingencies
The Company isnot subject to any litigation at the present time.
From time to time, the Company is subject to legal and administrative proceedings, settlements, investigations, claims and actions. The Company’s assessment of the likely outcome of litigation matters is based on its judgment of several of factors including experience with similar matters, history, precedents, relevant financial and other evidence and facts specific to the matter. Notwithstanding the uncertainty as to the outcome, based upon the information currently available, management doesnot believe any matters, individually or in aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
The Company establishes reserves for the estimated losses on specific contingent liabilities, for regulatory and legal actions where the Company deems a loss to be probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In other instances, the Company isnot able to make a reasonable estimate of liability because of the uncertainties related to the outcome or the amount or range of potential loss.
However, we cannot predict the outcome or effect of any of the potential litigation, claims or disputes.
