Nano Nuclear Energy Inc

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (“NANO” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 8, 2022 (“Inception”) and is headquartered in New York, New York. The Company is an early-stage, pre-revenue nuclear energy company developing smaller, cheaper, and safer advanced portable clean energy solutions utilizing advanced proprietary reactor designs, intellectual property and research methods.

The Company’s on-demand capable, advanced nuclear microreactors currently in development are (i)ZEUS, a portable modular solid core battery reactor, (ii)ODIN, a portable modular low-pressure coolant reactor, (iii) the fixed installationKRONOS MMR*™Energy System* and (iv) the space focused, portableLOKI MMR*™*. The Company envisions readily replaceable microreactors which it can provide to customers in several sectors, including data centers, artificial intelligence computer and quantum computing; crypto mining; military applications; disaster relief; transportation (including shipping); mining projects; water desalination and green hydrogen plants; remote habitation, and space exploration. The KRONOS and LOKI designs and related intellectual property and other assets were acquired on January 10, 2025 (see Note 9 for further information).

Through its subsidiary, HALEU Energy Fuel Inc., the Company is also developing a domestic High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (“HALEU”) fuel processing strategy, involving the development of facilities, to provide the Company with the capability to manufacture a fuel for the broader advanced nuclear reactor industry, as well as for the Company’s microreactors. Further, through its subsidiary, Advanced Fuel Transportation Inc., the Company is developing a high-capacity HALEU transportation product, capable of moving commercial quantities of HALEU fuel around North America. The Company is also examining strategic acquisitions within the nuclear transportation industry to provide the Company with the in-house capability to move its own materials and reactors. Through its subsidiary, Nano Nuclear Space Inc., the Company is seeking to explore the potential commercial applications of developing micronuclear reactor technology in space. The Company also plans to offer nuclear service support and consultation services.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, American Uranium Inc., HALEU Energy Fuel Inc., Advanced Fuel Transportation Inc., Nano Nuclear Space Inc., KRONOS MMR Inc., and LOKI MMR Inc. Each of such subsidiaries is a Nevada corporation.

As used herein, the term “Common Stock” refers to the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company.

Liquidity

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2025, the Company had working capital of $115,079,880 and accumulated deficit of $41,855,864. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had net loss of $24,422,083, and negative cash flows from operations of $5,620,979. At September 30, 2024, the Company had working capital of $27,502,873 and accumulated deficit of $17,433,781. For the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company had net loss of $10,151,556, and negative cash flows from operations of $8,464,146. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to secure financing from capital markets or other sources, including investors, loans, government grants or alternative funding and, ultimately, on the Company’s ability to generate revenue and profitable operations. Management is of the opinion that sufficient working capital is available to meet the Company’s liabilities and commitments as they come due at least for the next twelve months after the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued to conform to the going concern uncertainty period. During the six month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company received approximately $14.4 million from exercises of warrants, $1.6 million from exercises of stock options, and net proceeds of approximately $92.3 million from the Company’s registered follow-on offering in October 2024, and its November 2024 private placement offering (see Note 5). In order to achieve the Company’s long-term strategy, the Company expects to raise additional capital or secure other sources of financing to support its growth. The Company expects to file a “universal shelf” registration statement when eligible to provide it with more ready access to financing from the capital markets.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). References to ASC and ASU included herein refer to the Accounting Standards Codification and Accounting Standards Update, respectively, established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements. They included all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2025, and its results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year or any other periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value, because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions made when accounting for items and matters such as, but not limited to, equity-based compensation and contingencies are reasonable, based on information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as amounts reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the Company uses a three-level hierarchy, which prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach). The levels of hierarchy are described below.

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the most stringent level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying amount of certain financial instruments, including prepaid expenses and accounts payable approximates fair value due to their short maturities.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash balances at a financial institution and such amounts exceeded federally insured limits at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses primarily relate to payments made to consultants and vendors in advance of the service being provided.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment charges. When components of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment and depreciated separately. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and are recognized in earnings.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated over the depreciable amount, which is the cost of the asset less its residual value. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting period and are adjusted if appropriate. Assets are depreciated according to the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives as follows:

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful life or the remaining term of the associated lease.

Leases

The Company recognizes right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms greater than 12 months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating leases. This classification dictates whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had two long-term operating leases. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had one long-term operating lease.

Long-term leases (leases with initial terms greater than 12 months) are capitalized at the present value of the minimum lease payments not yet paid. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease when the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. Short-term leases (leases with an initial term of 12 months or less or leases that are cancelable by the lessee and lessor without significant penalties) are not capitalized but are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Warrant Instruments

The Company accounts for warrants issued in connection with the private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values.

Investments in Equity – Related Party

The Company accounts for investments in equity that are within the scope of ASC 321-10, “Investments - Equity Securities” (“ASC 321-10”), as either (1) investments with a readily determinable fair value, which are recorded at fair value or (2) investments without a readily determinable fair value, which are recorded at cost less any impairment. Equity investments that are initially concluded to not have a readily determinable fair value are reassessed at each reporting period. If the Company identifies observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer, it measures the equity security at fair value as of the date that the observable transaction occurred using valuation techniques that are permitted under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”.

As of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company had investments in equity of $2.0 million, representing the Company’s equity investment in LIS Technologies Inc., a related party through common ownership and management (“LIST”) (see Note 8). The equity investments were accounted for in accordance with ASC 321-10, and the Company accounted for the equity investments at cost less impairment because there were no readily determinable fair values for these investments as of March 31, 2025. No impairment was recorded during the three and six months ended March 31, 2025. The investments were recognized as “Long-term investments, related party” on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Mezzanine Equity

The Company recognized a tranche of shares of Common Stock as mezzanine equity since such shares were redeemable at the option of the holder, but not mandatorily redeemable. On March 30, 2024, the Company amended its subscription agreement with the holder of such shares to terminate the redemption right, which resulted in a conversion of such shares from mezzanine equity to stockholders’ equity. See Note 5 for further information.

Equity-Based Compensation

Equity-based compensation is measured using a fair value-based method for all equity-based awards. The cost of awarded equity instruments is recognized based on each instrument’s grant-date fair value over the period during which the award vests. Equity-based compensation is recorded as either a general and administrative expense or a research and development expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses represent costs incurred for designing and engineering products, including the costs of developing design tools, as well as the costs to acquire technology and other assets from third parties. All research and development costs related to product development are expensed as incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are recognized as a component of general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Advertising costs expensed were approximately $136,000 and$230,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, respectively, and approximately $435,000 and $609,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, respectively.

Legal Contingencies

The Company is presently involved in two stockholder-initiated legal proceedings. One of such proceedings was dismissed at the trial court level in April 2025 but remains subject to appeal. The other proceeding is currently subject to a motion to dismiss. Given the status of these legal proceedings, the Company cannot reasonably estimate at March 31, 2025 the amount of any potential financial loss or cost that could result from these proceedings. The Company records liabilities for losses from legal proceedings when it determines that it is probable that the outcome in a legal proceeding will be unfavorable, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely than not” that deferred tax assets will not be realized. On a regular basis, the Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance. Such evaluations involve the application of significant judgment. The Company considers multiple factors in its evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance. The Company’s net deferred tax assets consist primarily of assets related to net operating losses. The Company’s net operating losses and credits have an indefinite life for federal net operating losses (“NOLs”) generated through March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets in the amount of approximately $10,699,000 and $5,675,000, respectively. The effective tax rate was 0.0% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Until an appropriate level of profitability is attained, the Company expects to maintain a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. Any tax benefits or tax expense recorded on its condensed consolidated statements of operations will be offset with a corresponding valuation allowance until such time that the Company changes its determination related to the realization of deferred tax assets. In the event that the Company changes its determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, the Company will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such a determination is made. For uncertain tax positions that meet a “more- likely-than-not” threshold, the Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. All of the Company’s historical tax returns remain subject to examination by taxing jurisdictions. At March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would require either recognition or disclosure in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. During the periods when there is a net loss, potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no dilutive shares issued or outstanding.

Operating Segments

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company was managed as a single operating segment in accordance with the provisions in the FASB guidance on segment reporting, which establishes standards for, and requires disclosure of, certain financial information related to reportable operating segments and geographic regions. Furthermore, the Company determined that the Company’s Chairman and President is the Chief Operating Decision Maker, as he is responsible for making decisions regarding the allocation of resources and assessing performance as well as for strategic operational decisions and managing the organization as a whole.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs issued by the FASB. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. ASU 2024-03 should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its disclosures. There are no other accounting pronouncements which have been issued but are not yet effective that would have a material impact on the Company’s current unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The aggregate compensation paid, or payable, to officers and directors during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $320,000 and $105,000, respectively, and during the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $603,000 and $290,000, respectively, which was included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations under general and administrative.

5. EQUITY

The Company is authorized to issue 275,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. No shares of preferred stock were outstanding during the periods presented. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share.

The November 2024 Private Placement closed on November 27, 2024. After deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $55,122,000. The Company intends to use these net proceeds for general working capital and general corporate purposes, which could include potential acquisitions of complementary businesses or assets. Pursuant to the November 2024 SPA, the Company issued and sold the PIPE Shares and associated PIPE Warrants at a combined purchase price of $24.00 per share. The PIPE Warrants have a term of five (5) year with an exercise price of $26.00 per share and will be exercisable immediately upon issuance of the PIPE Warrants. On November 24, 2024, in connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the PIPE Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the PIPE Warrants by no later than January 15, 2025 (the date of filing, the “Filing Date”), with such registration statement to be effective within 30 days of the Filing Date (if such registration statement is not subject to review by the SEC), or within 60 days after the Filing Date (if such registration statement is subject to limited or full review by the SEC). The Company filed a registration statement covering the resale of these securities, which was declared effective on January 24, 2025. The Investors are also entitled (subject to certain exceptions) to customary piggyback registration rights during the period in which the registration statement is effective. The Company is subject to customary requirements to pay liquidated damages to the Investors in the event it does not meet certain filing and effectiveness deadlines set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement in an amount equal to 1% of each Investor’s subscription amount, plus interest, as applicable, on a monthly basis until such event giving rise to the liquidated damages is cured. The Benchmark Company, LLC acted as placement agent for the Private Placement and received a cash fee equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company in the Private Placement, a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the Private Placement, and reimbursement of up to $175,000 in legal expenses.

Mezzanine Equity

Pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement (the “Put Right Subscription Agreement”) signed by the Company during the year ended September 30, 2023 as part of the Series A Round, a subscriber (the “Subscriber”) purchased 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Put Shares”) for $2.50 per share or $5,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Put Right Subscription Agreement included a right (the “Put Right”) which entitled the Subscriber to elect to sell to the Company any part or all of the Put Shares acquired if (a) the Company’s initial public offering registration statement (“IPO Registration Statement”) was not declared effective by the SEC by December 31, 2023; or (b) the Company committed a material breach of the Agreement and either that breach was not capable of being remedied or, if capable of remedy, the Company did not remedy that breach as soon as possible and in any event within 30 business days of its receipt of a notice from the Subscriber requiring the Company to remedy that breach.

ASC 480-10-S99-3A provides guidance on the classification and measurement of redeemable securities, which requires classification in temporary equity of securities redeemable for cash or other assets if they are redeemable under certain conditions. One of these conditions is the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer. This condition was applicable up to March 30, 2024, as the Subscriber could have exercised the Put Option and required the Company to redeem the Put Shares since the IPO Registration Statement was not declared effective by the SEC by December 31, 2023. This process involved a significant number of third parties and the SEC’s declaration of effectiveness was ultimately within the SEC’s control. Therefore, this contingently redeemable feature was not considered to be within the control of the Company and was classified within Mezzanine Equity on the balance sheet at December 31, 2023. On March 30, 2024, the Subscriber terminated the Put Option at the request of the Company and the amount within Mezzanine Equity was converted to Stockholders’ Equity.

Equity-Based Compensation

Issuance of Common Stock for Consulting fees

During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued to two consultants an aggregate of 20,000 shares of Common Stock with an aggregate fair value of $167,800, which represents equity-based compensation and is recorded within general and administrative expenses.

Stock-Based Compensation

On February 10, 2023, and June 7, 2023, the Company adopted two distinct stock option plans which are referred to individually, as the 2023 Stock Option Plan #1 and the 2023 Stock Option Plan #2 (collectively, the “2023 Stock Option Plans”). There areno shares available for grant under the 2023 Stock Option Plan #1, and the maximum number of shares available under the plan may increase on an annual basis on the anniversary date of this option plan if the total number of stock options issued under the 2023 Stock Option Plans is less than 15% of the number of issued shares of Common Stock. There are 679,440 shares of Common Stock available for grant under the 2023 Stock Option Plan #2, and the maximum number of shares available under the plan may increase on a quarterly basis if the total number of stock options issued under the 2023 Stock Option Plans is less than 15% of the number of issued shares of Common Stock. The plans are otherwise substantially similar in their substance.

During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 125,000 fully vested stock options exercisable at $3.00 per common share with expiry on March 13, 2027. The 125,000 options were valued at $152,457 based on a Black-Scholes valuation with the following assumptions (Risk-free interest rate:4.37%; expected life of options:1.5 years; estimated volatility:82.5%; dividend rate:0%).

During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes valuation were the following: (1) stock price based on recent sales of Common Stock to unrelated parties; (2) estimated the volatility of its underlying stock by using an average of the historical volatility of a group of comparable publicly traded companies; (3) expected dividend yield was calculated using historical dividend amounts; (4) risk-free rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant; (5) expected term was estimated based on the vesting and contractual term of the stock option grant.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options issued during the year ended September 30, 2024 was $1.22 per share. There wasno remaining stock compensation expense to be recognized at September 30, 2024 as all options vested immediately upon grant.

On March 6, 2025, the Company issued 338,000 stock options exercisable at $26.97 per common share with expiry on March 6, 2035, with approximately one-sixth of these options to be vested annually from 2026 to 2031 on March 6. On March 13, 2025, the Company issued 765,000 fully vested stock options exercisable at $28.32 per common share with expiry on March 13, 2035,55,000 fully vested stock options exercisable at $28.32 per common share with expiry on March 13, 2030, and 5,300 stock options exercisable at $28.32 with expiry on March 13, 2030, to be fully vested on March 1, 2026. The aggregate of 1,163,300 options issued in March 2025, were valued at $23,307,209 based on a Black-Scholes valuation with the following assumptions (Risk-free interest rate:3.93% -4.12%; expected life of options:2.5 -6 years; estimated volatility:87% -110%; dividend rate:0%).

During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes valuation were the following: (1) fair market value of stock price on date of grant; (2) the volatility of its underlying stock; (3) estimated the volatility of its underlying stock by using an average of the historical volatility of a group of comparable publicly traded companies; (4) expected dividend yield was calculated using historical dividend amounts; (5) risk-free rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant; (6) expected term was estimated based on the vesting and contractual term of the stock option grant.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options issued during the six months ended March 31, 2025 was $20.04 per share. There is $6,734,388 of remaining stock compensation expense to be recognized at March 31, 2025 corresponding to future vesting dates which will occur annually in March from 2026 to 2031.

6. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS & LEASE LIABILITIES

In August 2024, the Company purchased a 1.64-acre land package in the historic Heritage Center Industrial Park in Oak Ridge, Tennessee for $1.7 million. The purchase included a 14,000 sq. ft., 2-story building to house the Company’s nuclear technology headquarters.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had two long-term operating leases corresponding to (1) its corporate headquarters located at 10 Times Square, 30th Floor, New York, New York and (2) space being used as a technology demonstration facility in Westchester County, New York. Lease components in the Company’s long-term operating leases are accounted for following the guidance in ASC 842 for the capitalization of long-term leases. At March 31, 2025, the lease liability was equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using a borrowing rate based on similar debt. Lease activity for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, was as follows:

7. ACQUISITION OF ALIP TECHNOLOGY

On June 21, 2024, the Company acquired a novel annular linear induction pump (“ALIP”) technology used in small nuclear reactor cooling (“ALIP Acquisition”) from noted physicist, research engineer and project manager Carlos O. Maidana, PhD of Maidana Research. In connection with the transaction, Dr. Maidana has agreed to collaborate with the Company as a consultant on further development of the ALIP technology with a view toward achieving SBIR Phase III Award status.

As part of this transaction, Dr. Maidana assigned to NANO all intellectual property rights associated with the ALIP technology and product, his work on the foregoing grants and the proposal for the SBIR Phase III program. As consideration for the ALIP Acquisition, the Company (i) issued 50,000 shares of Common Stock to Dr. Maidana and (ii) paid Dr. Maidana cash consideration of $50,000. Additionally, the Company agreed to deliver to Dr. Madana an additional (iii)50,000 shares of Common Stock and (iv) cash consideration of $50,000, contingent upon the successful completion of the SBIR Phase III project prior to June 21, 2025. The Company anticipates that the completion of the SBIR Phase III project will occur prior to June 21, 2025, and therefore has calculated the contingent consideration at the closing price of NANO’s stock on the date of acquisition. The ALIP Acquisition has been accounted for as an acquisition of in-process research and development that has been fully expensed on the acquisition date as research and development costs.

The ALIP Acquisition was recorded at its fair value as of June 21, 2024. The total purchase price was approximately $1.67 million and was comprised of the following:

As of June 21, 2024, the contingent cash and common shares obligation was recorded at its fair value of $836,500 based on the closing price of NANO’s stock on the date of acquisition. At March 31, 2025, the contingent cash and common shares obligation was revalued to its fair value of $1,373,000 based on the closing price of NANO’s stock on March 31, 2025, which resulted in a revaluation expense of $78,250 and $602,500 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, respectively.

8. LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS, RELATED PARTY

In August 2024, the Company invested $2,000,000 as an equity investment into LIST (which is a related party through certain common ownership and management), as part of its $11.88 million seed funding round. This additional capital into LIST is anticipated to help fuel the development of its proprietary, patented advanced laser enrichment technology.

Concurrently with our investment in LIST, the Company entered into an agreement with LIST to collaborate and assist in developing LIST’s technologies to secure a fuel supply for our future operations and the wider nuclear energy industry. The parties intend that LIST will provide the Company with enriched UF6 at no cost to be fabricated and sold to customers, with LIST to receive compensation as part of a profit-sharing arrangement to be agreed to between the companies in the future. Through collaboration with LIST, the Company anticipates building supportive facilities around LIST’s enrichment facility, including such facilities as deconversion and fuel fabrication.

The Company also leased approximately 7,000 square feet of dedicated space within its Oak Ridge, Tennessee, based nuclear technology facility to LIST to enable the next phase of the revitalization of its proprietary laser-based process. The Company leases this space to LIST for $7,000 per month. The lease is effective on September 2, 2024 and has a term ending on September 1, 2034.

The Company’s relationship with LIST is considered a related party transaction since certain of the Company’s executive officers and directors, including Jay Jiang Yu and Dr. Tsun Yee Law, also serve as officers and directors for LIST, and James Walker and Jaisun Garcha serve as consultants to LIST. The Company’s investment in LIST was unanimously approved by all of the Company’s disinterested independent directors.

9. USNC ASSET ACQUISITION

On December 18, 2024, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (as amended, the “USNC Agreement”) with Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, “USNC”) to acquire select nuclear energy technology assets (the “USNC Assets”) on an as-is, where-is basis, including USNC’s micro modular nuclear reactor business marketed as a MMR® Energy System, which the Company plans to market as “KRONOS MMRTM” (“KRONOS Business”), and transportable fission power system technology business marketed as a Pylon Transportable Reactor Platform, which the Company plans to market as “LOKI MMRTM” (“LOKI Business”). The acquired assets included certain contracts, intellectual property rights, and a demonstration project, free and clear of any liens other than certain specified liabilities of USNC that were assumed, for a total purchase price of $8.5 million in cash through an auction process (“Auction”) conducted pursuant to Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in connection with USNC’s pending Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. On December 18, 2024, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, the Bankruptcy Court overseeing USNC’s bankruptcy held a hearing where it approved the sale of the USNC Assets to the Company. The closing of the USNC Asset purchase (the “USNC Closing”) occurred on January 10, 2025.

The USNC Assets also included certain Canadian assets (the “Canadian Assets”), including three contracts with Canadian authorities, the equity interests of a Canadian partnership and rights related to a demonstration project related to the KRONOS Business in Canada, the transfer of which need the consent of certain Canadian governmental entities (the “Canadian Consents”), with an escrow of $250,000 deposited at the USNC Closing securing the Canadian Consents. If the Canadian Consents are not received within 90 days after the USNC Closing, the Company shall have the right to terminate the acquisition of the Canadian Assets and receive the return of $250,000 held in escrow.

To better facilitate the Canadian Consents and to continue diligence of the Canadian partnership and other Canadian Assets, the Company assigned its rights to the Canadian Assets to Jay Jiang Yu, the Company’s founder, President, Secretary and Treasurer, and Chairman of the Board, and certain Canadian entities owned or controlled by Mr. Yu (the “Yu Entities”). In exchange, on January 10, 2025, the Company entered into an option agreement (“Yu Option Agreement”) with Mr. Yu and Yu Entities, pursuant to which the Company received an option back from Mr. Yu and Yu Entities to acquire for nominal consideration, for a period of five years beginning once the receipt by the Yu Entities of the Canadian Assets upon receiving the Canadian Consents, any or all of the equity interests of the Yu Entities or the Canadian partnership, the other Canadian Assets or the material assets and business of the Canadian partnership.

As of March 31, 2025, the Canadian Consents have not been received, the Yu Entities have not received the Canadian Assets, the Company has not exercised the Yu Option Agreement and the $250,000 continues to remain in escrow. The Company and the Yu Entities are continuing to review the Canadian Assets to determine if they will be acquired and the Company is still in dialogue with certain Canadian governmental entities with respect to certain of the Canadian Assets as of the date of this Report.

The total consideration paid at closing for the USNC Assets was $8.5 million in cash. The Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition under ASC 805-50,“Business Combinations – Asset Acquisition”, as the acquired set of assets did not meet the definition of a business. The fair value of the identifiable assets was determined using the Historical Transaction Method under the Market Approach.

The fair value allocation of the consideration transferred is as follows:

The fair value was attributed to in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) assets associated with both the KRONOS Business and the LOKI Business. The acquired IPR&D assets are considered an indefinite-lived intangible asset and will not be amortized until the underlying technologies are placed into service. The Company will test the assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairment.
