**CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Report") contains "forward-looking statements" (as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") that reflect our current expectations and views of future events. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the section of this Report entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Readers are cautioned that significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors (including those over which we may have no control) and others listed in this Report, in the "*Item 1A. Risk Factors*" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 ("2025 Annual Report"), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on December 18, 2025, and in our other filings with the SEC may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

You can identify these forward-looking statements by terms such as "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "depends," "estimate," "expects," "intend," "may," "ongoing," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "will," "would," "assumption" or "judgment" or the negative of those terms or other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain those words.

These forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this Report and are subject to several known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those challenges summarized below:

● Our ability to design, develop, manufacture, demonstrate, obtain regulatory approval for and ultimately sell our proposed nuclear reactors or other products, technologies or services we are developing on the timelines we currently anticipate, if at all.

● Our ability to source or internally develop the necessary fuel supply chain to power our next generation of advanced nuclear reactors.

● Our ability to source or internally develop the required transportation capabilities to move our reactors, their fuel, and other special materials critical to the commercial deployment of our reactor systems.

● Our ability to build internally, and to externally provide, nuclear service support and consultation services for the expanding and resurgent nuclear energy industry, both domestically and internationally.

● Our ability to source, retain, and expand our technical and business staff to meet the demands of our expanding and diversifying business.

● Our ability to raise the substantial amount of additional funds that will be necessary for our business to succeed, which funds may not be available on acceptable terms or available at all.

● Assumptions relating to the size of the market for our nuclear reactors or other products, technologies or services we are developing.

● Our ability to navigate the complex and time-consuming nuclear regulatory regimes impacting our several business lines in the jurisdictions we operate, including unanticipated regulations or regulatory failures that could add barriers, time and cost to our business plans.

ii

● Our estimates of future expenses, capital requirements, revenue potential and our needs for, or ability to obtain, additional financing.

● Our status as a pre-revenue company in a rapidly evolving and complex industry with a business model that is still being developed and is largely untested.

● Our ability to avoid a significant disruption in our information technology system, including security breaches, or our ability to implement new system and software successfully.

● Our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our products.

● The other forward-looking statements regarding our company and its prospects included in this Report including, without limitation, those under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", as such statements may be updated from time to time in our other filings with the SEC.

The foregoing does not represent an exhaustive list of matters that may be covered by the forward-looking statements contained herein or risk factors that we are faced with. Forward-looking statements necessarily involve significant risks and uncertainties, and our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those set forth in our 2025 Annual Report and other SEC filings. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained above. Prior to investing in our common stock, you should read this Report, our 2025 Annual Report and other SEC filings completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we currently expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

The forward-looking statements made in this Report relate only to events or information as of the date of this Report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

**NANO NUCLEAR ENERGY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**As of December 31, 2025**

**1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION**

NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. ("NANO", the "Company", "we", "us", "our" and similar terminology) 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 emerging nuclear energy company developing smaller, simpler, and safer advanced reactors utilizing proprietary microreactor designs, intellectual property and research methods.

With the goal of vertical integration across key aspects of the nuclear fuel supply chain, the Company is principally focused on the following four business lines as part of its development strategy:

●  ***Nuclear Reactor Business*** . The Company's nuclear microreactors currently in development are (i) the fixed installation **KRONOS MMR™ Energy System**, (ii) **ZEUS**™, a portable modular solid core battery reactor, and (iii) the space focused, portable **LOKI MMR™**. The **KRONOS MMR<sup>™</sup>** reactor is the primary focus of the company given it has a high technology readiness level owing to the reactor being a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor that has benefitted from over a decade of time, work and resources invested into its design by its prior owner. Our **KRONOS MMR<sup>™</sup>** reactor is the closest to licensing and eventual deployment, so a substantial majority of the Company's investment is focused on advancing this reactor through development, prototype construction, testing and regulatory licensing. The **KRONOS MMR<sup>™</sup>** reactor targets new markets beyond those targeted by the Company's smaller microreactors, which are designed for remote locations, such as island and remote communities, military applications, remote industry such as mining projects or oil and gas projects. The **KRONOS MMR<sup>™</sup>** reactor is targeting AI and data centers for the technology industry, larger industrial applications, industrial heat for various industries, and certain military applications . The **LOKI MMR<sup>™</sup>** will target extra-terrestrial applications and applications requiring smaller energy needs and reactor portability. The **ZEUS™** microreactor is also targeting applications with smaller energy needs, including military applications requiring reactor portability. Given that the **LOKI MMR<sup>™</sup>** and **ZEUS™** microreactors also fit within the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor family, we believe each of these reactors can directly benefit in a capital efficient way from the advancement of The **KRONOS MMR<sup>™</sup>** reactor through the licensing process, and from any data or learnings generated from demonstrating or operating the reactor. 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, Nano Nuclear Space Inc., the Company is seeking to explore the potential commercial applications of developing micronuclear reactor technology in space.

●  ***Fuel Supply Chain Business*.** Through its subsidiary, HALEU Energy Fuel Inc., and in coordination with the Department of Energy ("DOE"), the Company is also seeking to develop a domestic low-enriched uranium (LEU) and high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) fuel supply chain to supply fuel not only for its own reactors but also to the broader advanced nuclear reactor industry. In December 2024, the Company announced that LIS Technologies Inc., a related party through common ownership and management ("LIST") (see Note 8), and the Company were selected by the DOE to participate as one of six contract awardees in the DOE's Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU) Enrichment Acquisition Program ("LEU Acquisition Program"). Under the contract awarded to LIST, LIST was selected as the prime contractor, with the Company as the key subcontractor bringing the Company's technical and regulatory expertise in advanced nuclear solutions to the collaboration (see Note 8 for further information). The Company is also evaluating ways to participate in other key aspects of the nuclear fuel supply chain in areas such as conversion through commercial agreements and acquisitions to achieve its vertical integration strategy in collaboration with LIST.

●  ***Fuel Transportation Business*.** 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, although as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has not entered into any definitive agreements with any third party for such acquisitions.

**1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)**

●  ***Nuclear Consultation Services.*** The Company is also evaluating ways to quickly enhance its internal engineering and technical capabilities while also providing nuclear service support and consultation services for the expanding and resurgent nuclear energy industry, both domestically and internationally. We are currently evaluating strategic acquisitions or collaborations to expand our business operations and formally establish our consulting services, and have commenced several material discussions with potential targets for such acquisitions or collaborations, but as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we have not entered into any definitive agreements for such acquisitions or collaborations. In combination with our intention to acquire existing revenue generating consultancy businesses, we are focusing on building our own internal nuclear consultation business in coordination with certain outside academic institutions. As of the date of this Report, we have not yet formally launched our nuclear consultation business, as formal launch of this business is dependent on success in acquiring existing businesses, although we generated a small amount of revenue during 2025 from providing such services.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned legal subsidiaries, American Uranium Inc., HALEU Energy Fuel Inc., Advanced Fuel Transportation Inc., Nano Nuclear Space Inc., KRONOS MMR Inc., LOKI MMR Inc., and True North Nuclear Ltd. Each of these subsidiaries is a Nevada corporation except for True North Nuclear Ltd., which is a Canadian 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 December 31, 2025, the Company had working capital of $576,432,889 and accumulated deficit of $64,017,136. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company had net loss of $6,516,279, and negative cash flows from operations of $3,989,840. At September 30, 2025, the Company had working capital of $200,841,189 and accumulated deficit of $57,500,857. For the year ended September 30, 2025, the Company had net loss of $40,067,076, and negative cash flows from operations of $19,621,963. 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 become 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 three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company received approximately $2.5 million from exercises of warrants, $0.5 million from exercises of stock options, and net proceeds of approximately $378 million from the Company's private placement offering. 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 in the future.

**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 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.

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**As of December 31, 2025**

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)**

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 include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company's financial position as of December 31, 2025, and its results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The results for the three months ended December 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, 2025 has been derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements.

***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, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, 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 unaudited 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 December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025. 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.

***Accounts Receivable***

Accounts receivable include commercial accounts receivable associated with other income corresponding to consulting services provided by the Company. Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for credit losses. Management estimates an allowance for credit losses by evaluating client-specific conditions, including adverse situations that may affect a client's ability to pay, as well as both microeconomic and macroeconomic factors.

***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.

***In-process Research and Development***

In-process research and development ("IPR&D") represents incomplete research and development projects that had not reached technological feasibility as of their acquisition date in 2025. Due to the nature of IPR&D, the expected life is indefinite, and it will be evaluated periodically for attainment of technological feasibility or impairment. Technological feasibility is established when an enterprise has completed all planning, designing, coding and testing activities that are necessary to establish that a product can be produced to meet its design specifications including functions, features and technical performance requirements. IPR&D is amortized over its estimated useful life once technological feasibility is reached. As the Company has not yet completed all designing, coding and testing activities, management has determined that technological feasibility has not yet been reached. Management has not identified any indicators that would suggest any impairment of the IPR&D. If IPR&D is determined not to have technological feasibility or is abandoned, it will be impaired or written off at such time.

***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:

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**As of December 31, 2025**

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)**

Land Not depreciated <br> Buildings 20 years

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 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 December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the Company had two long-term operating leases.

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 December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the Company had investments in equity of $2.0 million, representing the Company's equity investment in 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 December 31, 2025. No impairment was recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2025. The investments were recognized as other assets on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

***Equity-Based Compensation***

Equity-based compensation for employees and non-employees is measured using a fair value-based method for all equity-based awards. The Company recognizes equity-based compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. Vesting terms vary based on the individual grant terms. The Company estimates the fair value of an equity-based award using a closed option valuation (Black-Scholes) pricing model. 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. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur.

**NANO NUCLEAR ENERGY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**As of December 31, 2025**

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)**

The Black-Scholes pricing model requires the input of certain assumptions that require the Company's judgment, including the expected term and the expected stock price volatility of the underlying stock. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation represent management's best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change resulting in the use of different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

The Company's assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes price model are as follows: (1) fair market value of stock price on date of grant; (2) the volatility of its underlying stock; which is estimated using a weighted average of the Company's historical volatility, since it began trading, and the historical volatility of a group of comparable publicly traded companies due to the Company's lack of trading history over the expected term; (3) expected dividend yield is zero as the Company does not anticipate paying any recurring cash dividends in the foreseeable future; (4) risk-free rate based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for the period of the expected term; (5) expected term estimated based on the vesting and contractual term of the stock option grant.

***Research and Development***

Research and development ("R&D") 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 $73,500 and $93,501, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

***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 December 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 carryforwards, 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.

**NANO NUCLEAR ENERGY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**As of December 31, 2025**

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)**

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. federal government enacted tax legislation referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). The OBBBA, among other things, makes permanent 100% bonus depreciation for certain capital expenditures and immediate deduction for domestic research or experimental expenditures (R&D deduction). This legislation was effective for the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2025, except for the R&D deduction which will be effective for the Company's fiscal year 2026. The enactment of the OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2025. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the OBBBA on future periods.

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 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 December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would require either recognition or disclosure in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

***Net Loss per Share***

Basic earnings attributable to common shareholders is computed by dividing reported net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders is computed by dividing reported net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock and the number of dilutive potential common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of the incremental shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of share options, warrants, and RSUs and the incremental shares issuable upon conversion of similar instruments.

In computing diluted earnings per share, common share equivalents are not considered in periods in which a net loss is reported, as the inclusion of the common share equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

Shares which have been excluded from diluted per share amounts because their effect would have been anti-dilutive are as follows as of December 31:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **2025** | **2024** |
| Stock options | 3579000 | 3049000 |
| Warrants | 2987150 | 3896477 |
| Restricted share units | 757014 | - |
| Total shares excluded | 7323164 | 6945477 |

***Operating Segments***

For the three months ended December 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 Chief Executive Officer 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires that an entity, on an annual basis, disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendment in the ASU is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The ASU's amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

**3. OTHER INCOME**

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company earned interest income of $4,920,707 on its cash and cash equivalents held at a financial institution, earned $71,850 from consulting services, and earned $21,000 from a lease agreement (see Note 8). During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company earned interest income of $789,381 on its cash and cash equivalents held at a financial institution and earned $21,000 from a lease agreement (see Note 8).

**4. 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.

**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. In connection with the transaction, Dr. Maidana 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 specific timetables. The Company anticipated that the completion of the SBIR Phase III project would occur, and therefore had calculated the contingent consideration at the closing price of NANO's stock on the date of acquisition. The ALIP Acquisition was accounted for as an acquisition of in-process R&D that was fully expensed on the acquisition date as R&D 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:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Total** |
| Cash (paid on closing) | $50000 |
| Shares of Common Stock (issued on closing) | 786500 |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total purchase price | $1673000 |

---

On June 21, 2024, the contingent cash and Common Stock obligation were recorded at its fair value of $836,500 based on the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of acquisition. At December 31, 2024, the contingent cash and Common Stock obligation were revalued to its fair value of $1,294,750 based on the closing price of the Common Stock on December 31, 2024, which resulted in a revaluation expense of $524,250. At December 31, 2025, the contingent cash and Common Stock obligation were revalued to its fair value of $1,250,500 based on the closing price of the Common Stock on December 31, 2025, which resulted in a revaluation recovery of $727,500.

**8. LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS, RELATED PARTY**

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

Concurrently with our investment in LIST, we 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 became 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 the Company's president and director, Jay Jiang Yu, also serves as an officer and director 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 previously marketed as a MMR® Microreactor Energy System, which the Company has renamed "KRONOS MMR<sup>TM</sup>" ("KRONOS Business"), and transportable fission power system technology business previously marketed as a Pylon Transportable Reactor Platform, which the Company has renamed "LOKI MMR<sup>TM</sup>" ("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.

We acquired these assets through two new wholly owned subsidiaries incorporated in Nevada.

The USNC Assets also included certain Canadian assets relating to both the KRONOS MMR™ Energy System and certain Canadian intellectual property rights relating to the LOKI MMR™ (the "Canadian Assets"). The Canadian Assets include, among other assets, (i) three contracts with Canadian authorities, including a license application (the "Chalk River License Application") with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission ("CNSC") associated with a KRONOS MMR<sup>TM</sup> reactor demonstration project at Chalk River Laboratories located in Ontario, Canada (the "Chalk River Project"), (ii) the equity interests of a Canadian partnership that was believed at the time to hold the Chalk River License Application (the "Canadian Partnership"), and (iii) rights related to the Chalk River Project. The transfer of the Chalk River License Application and certain other of the Canadian Assets (such assets, the "Consent Assets") required the consent of certain Canadian governmental entities, including the CNSC (the "Canadian Consents"). We established an escrow of $250,000 deposited at the closing securing the Canadian Consents. If the Canadian Consents were not received within 90 days after the closing, we had the right to terminate the acquisition of the Consent Assets, receive the return of $250,000 held in escrow and forfeit our rights to the Consent Assets. Our right to acquire the Consent Assets was established pursuant to an option arrangement with our Chairman and President and his affiliated entities as described below.

We had a limited amount of time to conduct due diligence on the USNC Assets, particularly the Canadian Assets. Moreover, we were made aware at that time that certain Consent Assets (specifically the Canadian Partnership) could be encumbered by liabilities that could not be cleared through USNC's U.S. bankruptcy process, thus creating a risk to us should we assume such liabilities. To enable our ability to continue diligence of the Consent Assets to ensure we acquired the correct assets and did not assume or become exposed to any unknown liabilities, on the closing date of the USNC Asset acquisition, we assigned our rights to acquire the Consent Assets to Jay Jiang Yu, our founder, President, Secretary and Treasurer, and Chairman of the Board, and certain existing Canadian entities owned or controlled by Mr. Yu (the "Yu Entities"). Accordingly, on January 10, 2025, we entered into an option agreement ("Yu Option Agreement") with Mr. Yu and Yu Entities, pursuant to which we received an option back from Mr. Yu and the Yu Entities to acquire for nominal consideration, for a period of five years beginning with the receipt by the Yu Entities of the Consent Assets upon receiving the Canadian Consents, any or all of the equity interests of the Yu Entities or the Canadian Partnership, the other Consent Assets or the material assets and business of the Canadian Partnership. The assignment of the right to acquire the Consent Assets and the Yu Option Agreement were unanimously approved by our disinterested directors. Given the uncertainties regarding the Consent Assets at that time, we believe this option arrangement was the most efficient and cost-effective structure (particularly since the option was exercisable by us for only nominal consideration) for us to close the bankruptcy sale and secure the right to acquire Consent Assets, while also preserving our ability to progress the KRONOS project in Canada and facilitate the Canadian Consents.

**9. USNC ASSET ACQUISITION (Continued)**

During 2025, we sought Canadian Consents for the Consent Assets (most notably, the Chalk River License Application). As part of our continuing due diligence, we learned that a USNC affiliate called Global First Power Ltd. ("GFPL"), and not the Canadian Partnership, was in fact the holder of the Chalk River License Application. Further, we were informed by the CNSC that the Chalk River License Application could not be transferred and that only GFPL itself could complete the Chalk River License Application and obtain the license for the Chalk River Project or, alternatively, we or our subsidiaries or designees would need to file a new application with the CNSC. Accordingly, we determined that the most efficient course of action for our company to continue the Chalk River Project would be for us to acquire GFPL itself and thereby acquire the Chalk River License Application. As a result, on August 14, 2025, The RPWI Liquidating Trust, a Delaware liquidating trust created pursuant to USNC's plan of liquidation in bankruptcy, GFPL, our company and our subsidiary KRONOS MMR Inc. entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "GFPL Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which KRONOS MMR agreed to purchase all of the equity interests of GFPL and any other assets of GFPL that are specified in the GFPL Purchase Agreement (including the rights to the Chalk River License Application), free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and other interests. The purchase price for GFPL was our assumption of an approximately CAD $0.65 million liability, which was the amount owed by GFPL to the CNSC for pre-petition bankruptcy claims, plus any other amounts payable to CNSC for the Chalk River License Application which first arise and relate to, or become due and payable in the ordinary course after the closing of such acquisition, plus a $15,000 expense reimbursement allowance. On September 2, 2025, the GFPL Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the Bankruptcy Court, and on October 16, 2025, such transaction was closed. We expect to pay the CAD $0.65 million assumed liability using cash on hand in the near future. In late October 2025, we announced our rebranding of GFPL to the name True North Nuclear.

As a result of the foregoing, neither the Yu Entities nor our company formally acquired the Consent Assets, and given our subsequent due diligence and discussions with CNSC following our acquisition of the USNC Assets, we have determined that (i) our acquisition of GFPL provides us with all of the rights and assets we require from USNC to progress a potential Chalk River Project, (ii) the Consent Assets subject to the Yu Option Agreement are immaterial to our plans and need not be acquired, with the result that we expect to terminate the Yu Option Agreement and (iii) given that the Canadian Consents were not achieved on a timely basis, we are seeking a return of the $250,000 escrow amount.

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:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Total** |
| Cash consideration paid | $8500000 |
| Less: Value of Consent Assets (subject to Canadian Consents) held in escrow | (250000) |
| Add: Assumed liabilities related to Designated Contracts (excluding Canadian Contracts) | 825045 |
| Total fair value of Acquired IPR&D Assets | $9075045 |

**9. USNC ASSET ACQUISITION (Continued)**

The fair value was attributed to 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.

**10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

The Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after December 31, 2025 through the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. During this period, there were no material subsequent events requiring disclosure except as stated as follows:

Between January 1, 2026 and the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, 1,000 warrants were exercised to purchase 500 Common Stock at an exercise price of $20.00 per share generating gross proceeds of approximately $10,000, 1,000 warrants were exercised to purchase 500 Common Stock at an exercise price of $17.00 per share generating gross proceeds of approximately $8,500, 1,150,000 stock options were exercised to purchase 1,150,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share generating proceeds of approximately $1,725,000, and 350,000 stock options were exercised to purchase 350,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share generating proceeds of approximately $1,050,000.

**Overview**

We are an emerging nuclear energy company developing smaller, simpler, and safer advanced microreactors utilizing proprietary microreactor designs, intellectual property and research methods to contribute towards a sustainable future. Led by a world class management and technical team, our business plan involves comprehensive engagement across every sector of the nuclear power and energy industry, traversing the path from sourcing raw materials through to developing leading edge advanced nuclear microreactors. Our dedication extends further, with our company looking at opportunities to involve ourselves in other key aspects of the nuclear energy fuel supply chain and the commercial nuclear fuel transportation sector. We are currently in the pre-revenue stage, and we have not generated any material revenues from our inception through December 31, 2025. We have incurred accumulated net losses of $64,017,136 since inception in 2022 through December 31, 2025.

With the goal of vertical integration across the nuclear energy supply chain, we are principally focused on the following four business lines as part of our development strategy:

●  ***Nuclear Reactor Business.*** We are developing the next generation of advanced nuclear microreactors, with our principal focus centered on our **KRONOS MMR™ Energy System**. This high technology readiness level (or TRL), high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (or HTGR), Tristructural-Isotropic (or TRISO) fueled stationary modular reactor is designed for both small- and large-scale operations, optimizing between size and output to allow for modularity and easier mass manufacturing, and efficient scalable energy generation. The KRONOS MMR™ design incorporates negative reactivity feedback, passive heat removal, passive shutdown characteristics, and uses helium — an inert gas — along with TRISO fuel. These features allow the reactor to safely dissipate heat without operator intervention or external power. We are developing the prototype KRONOS MMR in collaboration with The University of Illinois (U. of I.). We are also seeking to develop a KRONOS MMR prototype at Chalk River Laboratories in Ontario, Canada. Our KRONOS MMR<sup>™</sup> reactor is the closest to licensing and eventual deployment, so a substantial majority of our investment is focused on advancing this reactor through development, prototype construction, testing and regulatory licensing.

 Our portfolio of reactors also includes the **LOKI MMR™ reactor**, a portable nuclear reactor designed for versatility in application and deployment which is also a HTGR utilizing TRISO fuel, and the **ZEUS™ reactor**, a portable modular solid core battery reactor. Through the collaboration of our world-renowned nuclear scientists and engineers, the U.S. national nuclear laboratories, and government support, we believe our reactors will have the potential to impact the global energy landscape. Our goal is to commercially launch these products in the 2030s, and we are aiming to commercially launch the KRONOS MMR™ Energy System first in the early 2030s as we are currently dedicating a significant majority of our time and resources to its advancement. We also own the rights to the **ODIN™ reactor**, a portable modular low pressure coolant reactor, which we are currently in the process of selling.

●  ***Fuel Supply Chain Business.*** Through our subsidiary, HALEU Energy Fuel Inc., and in coordination with the DOE, we are seeking to develop a domestic low-enriched uranium (LEU) and high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) fuel supply chain to supply fuel not only for our own reactors but also to the broader advanced nuclear reactor industry. While we may engage in this activity through our related party LIST as described below, as of the date of this Report, we have tentatively identified the site where we might construct the facilities and have begun to build the team to design and develop these facilities. However, while we aim to launch our fuel supply chain business in the second half of 2026, as of the date of this Report, we have not yet commercially launched our fuel supply chain business.

 The launch of this business can be established through multiple avenues, which are all currently under examination by management. We are actively evaluating existing pilot conversion facilities where U₃O₈ is converted into uranium hexafluoride (UF₆). We may acquire an equity interest through investment in their development, and we are currently conducting the necessary due diligence, although as of the date of this prospectus, we have not entered into any definitive agreement for such acquisition. In parallel, we are exploring the collaboration opportunities with companies that license conversion technology to assess the potential for the longer-term construction of additional fuel facilities. We are also evaluating uranium mining prospects and considering the acquisition of assets that would support our long-term vertically integrated strategy, although we have not entered into any material definitive agreements as of the date of this Report. We have made a $2 million strategic investment in, and entered into a collaboration with, a laser-based uranium enrichment technology company, LIS Technologies Inc. ("LIST") (which is a related party), to support the development of their technology. Through this investment and related collaboration, we aim to assist in advancing LIST's technologies to secure a reliable low enriched uranium fuel supply for our future operations and the broader nuclear energy industry. The parties intend that LIST will provide us 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 upon between the companies in the future. We also leased 7,000 square feet of space at our Nuclear Technology Center in Oak Ridge, Tennessee to LIST. Our relationship with LIST is considered a related party transaction since our founder and Chairman, Jay Jiang Yu. is a director, officer and significant shareholder of LIST, and our Chief Executive Officer James Walker and Chief Financial Officer Jaisun Garcha serve as consultants to LIST. Our investment in LIST was unanimously approved by all of our disinterested independent directors. In December 2024, we announced that LIST and our company were selected by the DOE to participate as one of six contract awardees in the DOE's Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU) Enrichment Acquisition Program ("LEU Acquisition Program"). Under the contract awarded to LIST, LIST was selected as the prime contractor, with our company as the key subcontractor bringing our technical and regulatory expertise in advanced nuclear solutions to the collaboration. LIST will oversee the development of the primary uranium enrichment processes using its novel laser technology, while our company will contribute towards development in the areas of conversion, deconversion, fuel fabrication, and fuel transportation. The total overall amount appropriated under the LEU Acquisition Program across all six contract awardees is anticipated to be $3.4 billion, of which $2.7 billion was recently awarded by the DOE via agreed to task orders. While LIST did not receive the initial $2.7B awards, we believe that participation in the $3.4 billion LEU Acquisition Program provides technical validation and potential federal contracts to support our operations, as well as opportunity to be awarded some or all of the remaining $700 million through future task orders.

***●***  ***Fuel Transportation Business.*** Our nuclear fuel transportation business will build on existing work completed at the Idaho National Laboratory ("INL"), Oak Ridge National Laboratory ("ORNL") and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory ("PNNL"), the world's premier U.S.-backed nuclear research facilities. As of the date of this Report, we have not yet commercially launched our fuel transportation business. We expect to launch our fuel transportation business by 2028, however, the timeline of which could be impacted by progress in acquiring assets and businesses within the nuclear transport industry to provide our company with the capabilities to internally move the materials, reactors, and fuels inherent within a reactor deployment operation, and as of the date of this prospectus, we have not entered into any definitive agreements for such acquisition. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to launch the business as currently anticipated, or that such launch will occur by 2028, if at all. Our fuel transportation business is still at the development stage as of the date of this Report. We received an exclusive license for a high capacity HALEU fuel transportation basket design in April 2024, which will form the basis for a new transportation package to complement a complete transportation system. This license grants us, as the licensee, exclusive rights for the use and development of the technology. In addition, the licensor is not permitted to license the technology to any other parties within the specified scope. We believe this technology is the most advanced concept in the United States for moving HALEU in commercial quantities. We are currently conducting work to modify the design to accommodate a variety of different fuel forms, so we are positioned to move fuel for both of our reactors and to enable us to provide transportation services to any nuclear company looking to move commercial quantities of fuel. As part of this effort, we signed an agreement with GNS Gesellschaft für Nuklear-Service mbH ("GNS") to undertake a wide-ranging project to produce an optimized HALEU transportation system solution based on our exclusively licensed fuel transportation basket design. The GNS agreement encompasses a study for the transport of multiple HALEU nuclear fuel types, including uranium oxide, TRISO particles, uranium-zirconium hydride, uranium mononitride, and salt fuel for molten salt reactors, thus optimizing the quantity of material that can be transported and developing a conceptual package design that will accommodate the new basket design. We have also hired a former United Parcel Service (UPS) executive who works for our fuel transportation subsidiary to assist in growing a transportation business around our technology and any future acquisitions.

●  ***Nuclear Consultation Services.*** We also plan to provide a small amount of nuclear service support and consultation services for the expanding and resurgent nuclear energy industry in 2026. A material increase in consulting revenue is highly dependent on success in acquiring existing consulting businesses, which we continue to evaluate as potential acquisition candidates. Regulatory approval is not required to provide such services. This business opportunity represents our nearest term revenue generating opportunity. As of the date of this Report, we have not yet formally launched our nuclear consultation business, as formal launch of this business is dependent on success in acquiring existing businesses, although we generated a small amount of revenue during 2025 from providing such services.

**Our Mission**

Our mission is to become a commercially focused, diversified and vertically integrated nuclear energy company that will capture market share in the very large and growing nuclear energy sector. To implement our plans, since our founding in 2022, our management has had constant communications with key U.S. government agencies, including the DOE, the INL and ORNL, which are a part of the DOE's national nuclear laboratory system. Our company also maintains important collaborations with leading researchers from the Cambridge Nuclear Energy Centre and The University of California, Berkeley.

**Overview of Operational Plan and Estimated Timelines for Corporate Achievements** 

We continue to benefit from a global nuclear energy renaissance driven by several long term, sustainable growth trends and significant regulatory tailwinds. These include growth in AI data centers, industrial reshoring, and broader electrification, all driving a significant need for clean and reliable power, energy sustainability and independence, and climate mandates requiring reliable zero-emissions energy. All of this comes at a time of unprecedented bipartisan legislative and policy support in the U.S. for nuclear energy. Equally important, there is broad recognition that advanced reactors like the ones we are developing will be critical to future clean energy infrastructure.

Over the next twelve months, we will continue to progress the development of our advanced reactors (notably the KRONOS MMR reactor prototypes in the U.S. and Canada) and our vertically integrated business plan, with estimated cash expenditures to be approximately $65 million. This allocation comprises approximately $43 million dedicated to the research, development, quality assurance, licensing, and physical test work of our microreactors and other technologies. A further amount of approximately $12 million will be allocated to the development of our planned HALEU fuel processing facilities alongside LIST, the related-party uranium enrichment company with whom we collaborate and in which we have made a strategic investment. The remaining approximately $10 million is earmarked for miscellaneous costs essential to propelling the progress of our microreactors, encompassing the support of current personnel engaged in executive, finance, accounting, and other administrative functions. We may also utilize our cash resources raised in 2024 and 2025 for acquisitions of complementary businesses or assets. As such, and for a variety of other factors, our estimated expenditures may differ substantially from the above estimates and we find it desirable or necessary to utilize cash resources faster than we currently plan. Our projected expenditures are expected to be partially offset by interest income generated from the Company's cash and cash equivalent balances.

We have made material progress advancing the KRONOS MMR™ since acquiring the asset in January of 2025. On March 29, 2025, we executed a Sponsored Research Agreement Amendment No. 2 with The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois (referred to for these purposes as "U of I") that substituted our company as an assignee of the rights and obligations of USNC regarding the sponsored research relationship with The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign ("UIUC") for the KRONOS MMR™ project. Under the Sponsored Research Agreement and its amendments (the "UIUC Agreement"), our company, in collaboration with U of I, will construct, obtain regulatory approval for, and deploy a KRONOS MMR™ research and test reactor on the UIUC campus. The UIUC Agreement as entered into with U of I is effective January 1, 2022, and will terminate on February 28, 2027, unless terminated earlier under certain stipulations. In December of 2025, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois ("U. of I.") on behalf of UIUC to collaborate on the development, construction, and operation of its KRONOS MMR™ on campus as an advanced research reactor. While the aforementioned definitive sponsored research agreement between NANO Nuclear and U. of I. provided for U. of I.'s support in design and regulatory licensing of the prototype KRONOS MMR™, the December 2025 MOU set forth the next steps for the design, construction, ownership and ultimate operation of a KRONOS MMR™ on the UIUC campus.

In late April 2025, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") issued its final Safety Evaluation (SE) approving the Fuel Qualification Methodology Topical Report (FQM TR) for the advanced fuel design to be used in the KRONOS MMR™ Energy System. The FQM TR is a technical document that defines the analytical framework and testing approach by which irradiation data and fuel performance information will be evaluated to demonstrate that the KRONOS MMR™ fuel meets NRC safety and reliability requirements. Approval of the FQM TR does not in itself authorize construction or operation of the KRONOS MMR™ reactor; rather, it represents NRC approval of the methodology that will be used to qualify the fuel in subsequent testing and licensing steps. Our regulatory activities to date have been conducted within the NRC's pre-application framework, which has included multiple technical submittals, meetings, and NRC staff feedback towards our technical submittals documented on the NRC's public pre-application docket for UIUC.

Our next steps toward submission of a construction permit application for the KRONOS MMR™ reactor consist of several regulatory and technical workstreams that are being conducted in parallel rather than sequentially. These activities include continued NRC pre-application engagement and technical interactions, completion of site characterization activities and development of site-specific inputs (including collecting and preparing location-specific technical, environmental, and engineering information to support regulatory filings and design work for a particular site), preparation of the environmental report required to support a construction permit application, preparation of preliminary safety analyses and application documentation, and initiation and ongoing execution of the NRC-approved fuel qualification program in accordance with its approved scope and phased development plan. With respect to site-specific work, we engaged AECOM, a multi-disciplinary engineering firm, in June 2025 to support site characterization, engineering, environmental analysis, and regulatory planning activities associated with the proposed reactor site at UIUC. We expect to complete these activities in the first quarter of 2026.

While the environmental report and safety analysis must be submitted with the application, the NRC's detailed safety and environmental reviews occur after the application is docketed and may involve requests for additional information, audits, hearings, and public participation as part of the NRC's review process. Following NRC approval of the FQM TR, we have initiated the fuel qualification program using the NRC-approved methodology. Fuel qualification is a staged and iterative process that includes defining test plans, generating and evaluating fuel performance data, and documenting results. We expect to provide sufficient fuel-related information to support submission of a construction permit application based on the approved methodology, while continuing fuel qualification activities during NRC review and in later licensing stages. However, although fuel qualification is important to our business operations, completion of all fuel qualification activities is not required as a condition for the approval or docketing of a construction permit application.

Based on the foregoing parallel workstreams, we currently anticipate submitting a construction permit application for the KRONOS MMR™ reactor in the first half of 2026 and receiving the approval in mid-2027, subject to the NRC's review process. We estimate this will be the first construction permit for a microreactor issued in the United States. The permit application will not incur any government fees, as the KRONOS MMR™ reactor, due to its location at UIUC, qualifies for a fee exemption under applicable regulations due to its use for research purposes.

Following submission, the NRC will conduct an acceptance review to determine whether the application is sufficiently complete to docket. NRC guidance indicates that this acceptability determination is generally expected to occur within approximately 60 days; however, timing may vary. After docketing, the duration of the NRC's safety and environmental reviews is not fixed and is not typically completed within a single year. There can be no assurance as to the timing of completion of such reviews. The duration of the NRC's review process may vary materially based on numerous factors, including, among other things, the completeness and quality of the application at submission, the number and complexity of NRC requests for additional information, the extent to which the application relies on previously reviewed topical reports, NRC staffing and resource availability, the scope and outcome of any required hearings, and the type and complexity of the environmental review, including whether an environmental impact statement is required. Accordingly, the timing of NRC review and any resulting licensing decisions is inherently uncertain and largely outside the Company's control and any delays in the review process could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The KRONOS MMR™ reactor at UIUC is being developed as a research microreactor intended primarily for demonstration, testing, and research applications, but the reactor will be a full-scale system analogous to the commercial KRONOS MMR™ reactor we are planning to sell and deploy post receipt of a construction permit issued by the NRC, followed by an operating license. The UIUC project will also serve as the reactor which the NRC will be evaluating as part of its licensing process for the entire system. Subject to the NRC review timeline, completion of required safety and environmental reviews, construction activities, and successful commissioning, we expect the KRONOS MMR™ to achieve initial operation or research availability around 2030 to 2031. When considering the above project timeline and construction timelines, licensing timeframes, sourcing key materials and fuel, we expect the KRONOS MMR™ to be commercially ready in the early 2030's.

To support this effort, on July 30, 2025, we announced our acquisition of a 2.75-acre land and building package in Oak Brook, Illinois to serve as a regional demonstration and office facility to support the development of the KRONOS MMR™ reactor. This facility is intended to support engineering, component manufacturing and assembly, prototype fabrication, non-nuclear testing, research and development activities, and administrative functions. The timing, scale, and configuration of the Illinois facility will depend on multiple factors, including site selection, permitting, availability of skilled labor, supply chain readiness, financing, and alignment with our regulatory and commercialization milestones. We currently anticipate initiating planning and early-stage development activities for the Illinois facility during the late 2020s, with phased buildout aligned to the advancement of our reactor programs. Initial facility capabilities may precede full commercial manufacturing capacity and may focus on research, development, and prototype support, with manufacturing capabilities expanded over time as regulatory approvals are obtained and commercial demand materializes.

On October 7, 2025, we announced that, with the support of Governor JB Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, we will establish a manufacturing and research and development facility in Illinois. We plan to make an investment of more than $12 million with the support from the Reimagining Energy and Vehicles in Illinois (REV Illinois) program, which is expected to enable us to establish our operations and create 50 new full-time jobs in Illinois. For this effort, we will receive $6.8 million in incentive awards from the REV Illinois program.

Significant capital will be needed to support our facility construction, licensing, fuel qualification testing, regulatory compliance, prototype construction, and workforce expansion for the development of our microreactors. We estimate that the capital costs needed to construct prototype KRONOS MMR™ reactors at the UIUC and Canada over the next several years could be around $300 million to $350 million per reactor. This range reflects inherent uncertainty in building a first-of-a-kind reactor due to several factors that can result in a material increase to these estimates, including site specific factors, the timing and scope of project development and regulatory licensing and supply chain considerations. Subsequent reactors' capital costs are expected to decline substantially due to supply chain scaling for mass production of components, factory fabrication, modular assembly, and multiple deployments.

In Canada, following our acquisition of GFPL and the Chalk River Licensing Application, followed by GFPL's recent rebranding to True North Nuclear, we are working to finalize a formal agreement with a partner for a potential Chalk River Project. Upon finalization of an agreement for the project, the timing of which is uncertain, we aim to initiate formal licensing activities with the CNSC through a submission of a License to Prepare Site (LTPS) application with the CNSC.

With respect to the LOKI MMR™ system, we are still in the process of assessing and developing demonstration, licensing and commercial launch timelines for this reactor.

With respect to our ZEUS reactor, we are examining slight modifications of the design to create an even smaller, more mobile reactor system, allowing for an increased number of applications which do not overlap with our other reactors, KRONOS and LOKI. The solid core concept permits a degree of simplicity, and fewer working parts, than other reactor types – we are working on exploiting these inherent advantages to provide this product in the market.

Given our corporate emphasis on the KRONOS MMR™ reactor and the fact that all of our reactor designs, except for the ODIN™ reactor, are within the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor family, we are considering strategic alternatives for ODIN. In September 2025, we signed a letter of intent for the proposed sale of our ODIN™ microreactor design and all associated intellectual property to Cambridge Atom Works, our commercial collaborator for the ODIN™ project. This transaction is intended to monetize our investment in the project to date and enable us to allocate more time and resources to the KRONOS MMR™ reactor and our other designs and technologies.

Readers are cautioned that the outlined expenditures and the anticipated timelines for execution of our plans discussed above and throughout this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are estimations only. These are inherently subject to change due to certain factors, including adjustments in the microreactor development plan and uncertainties associated with the governmental licensing approval process. Given that these elements may exceed our initial expectations or lie beyond our control, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the actual expenditures and timelines.

**Factors, Risks and Trends Affecting Our Business and Results of Operations** 

*Our Ability to Develop Our Microreactors*

Our results of operations and our long-term prospects are significantly influenced by factors and trends related to the development, commercialization, and regulatory advancement of our microreactors. KRONOS™ MMR reactor is our lead reactor program and is being designed as an advanced, high-temperature microreactor intended for deployment for AI data centers, industrial environments, defense applications, and other off-grid settings requiring resilient, emissions-free power. The following factors and trends have impacted, and we expect will continue to impact, our KRONOS development program and our operating results.

Development of the KRONOS™ reactor is affected by the evolving regulatory framework for advanced non-light-water reactors. The NRC continues to refine guidance applicable to microreactor licensing, including siting, emergency planning, fuel qualification, and security requirements. Changes in NRC expectations, the need for additional data or analysis, or delays in regulatory review may impact our development timelines and costs. In addition, university-based demonstration efforts, including our ongoing collaboration with the UIUC, will require coordination with federal and state agencies, which may introduce uncertainties in scheduling and scope.

KRONOS™ reactor development relies on strategic collaborations with academic institutions and research organizations. Our work with UIUC includes analyses of siting suitability, infrastructure requirements, and potential demonstration pathways. Such partnerships provide access to technical expertise and research infrastructure but may be influenced by academic scheduling, funding availability, or institutional priorities. Delays or changes in partner capacity could affect program timelines.

KRONOS™ technology incorporates materials and components that require specialized fabrication processes, including high-temperature alloys, advanced coatings, and precision-engineered reactor structures. Global supply-chain conditions, vendor qualification requirements, and the availability of domestic manufacturing capacity will affect development costs and timelines. Government incentives for advanced reactor supply chains may reduce uncertainties, but broader economic factors—including inflationary pressures, material cost volatility, and logistics constraints—may continue to impact the program.

The LOKI MMR™ reactor originated as a compact, transportable nuclear microreactor design. The reactor is designed for versatility across terrestrial, marine, and space applications. It is engineered to deliver on the order of 1 MWth to around 5 MWth of power, making it suitable for remote deployments, off-grid energy needs, critical infrastructure support, and other distributed energy use-cases where traditional grid power is unavailable or unreliable. Its transportability via road, rail, sea, or air enables rapid deployment and modular scalability, especially when multiple units are networked for larger power requirements. The LOKI MMR™ supports diverse applications ranging from remote industrial operations to space exploration architectures. The design is positioned to support long-duration extra-terrestrial applications, including power for lunar or orbital infrastructure and potential deep-space missions.

The portable ZEUS™ reactor is a solid-core "nuclear battery" microreactor, designed to deliver long-duration, reliable, zero-emission power in locations where grid access is unavailable, unreliable, or prohibitively expensive. The ZEUS™ reactor is optimized for remote, austere, and infrastructure-limited environments, including isolated communities, mining operations, military installations, critical infrastructure sites, and international deployments where diesel generation is currently dominant. The ZEUS™ technology includes a sealed, factory-fabricated, transportable reactor system. The reactor employs a solid fuel core and emphasizes passive safety, inherent stability, and minimal operator intervention. The system is designed to function as a "set-and-forget" power source, with all major safety, control, and thermal management features integrated into a compact, hardened structure capable of withstanding extreme environmental conditions. The design philosophy prioritizes simplicity, robustness, and high technology readiness levels (TRLs), avoiding unnecessary complexity to accelerate deployment and licensing pathways.

 

*Development of Fuel Supply Chain Business*

We believe, based on our market research, that no small modular reactor (SMR) microreactor company is currently developing a fuel supply chain to produce fuel for their reactors. Our strategy to develop key steps of the fuel for our own reactors and also to position our company to supply key steps of the fuel to the wider nuclear industry and other reactor manufacturers, addressing anticipated significant shortfalls in fuel supply. Through our investment and collaboration with LIST, which we believe is the only U.S.-origin and patented laser uranium enrichment company, our goal is to progress towards being what we believe will be the most vertically integrated microreactor business in the country. This would give our business an enormous competitive advantage for both our own reactor development and establishing multiple sources of future revenue to de-risk our company.

 

*Development of Fuel Transportation Business*

As we have developed our business, we believe capability deficiencies in the U.S. nuclear industry that would affect the future operation of all SMR and microreactor companies became apparent, notably, there is currently no established method for transporting commercial quantities of HALEU across North America. Our proactive approach to mitigate future impediments to our operations culminated in locating research and technology developed by INL, PNNL and ORNL, that had not been advanced because of budget constraints. We received an exclusive license for a high capacity HALEU fuel transportation basket design in April 2024, which will form the basis of a complete transportation package able to move the most commonly utilized fuel types. The license grants us, as the licensee, exclusive rights for the use and development of certain transportation technology. If developed and commercialized, we believe this product would be one of the few of its kind in North America and would serve as the basis for a domestic HALEU transportation company capable of providing commercial quantities of HALEU fuel. We plan to work with engineering contractors to obtain an NRC Certificate of Compliance under 10 CFR 71 for our transportation packages.

We also plan to establish a transportation business focused on the movement of both LEU and HALEU. Currently we are developing a regulatorily licensed, high-capacity HALEU transportation system, capable of moving commercial quantities of HALEU fuel around North America and beyond.

We are seeking to form the first transportation company able to supply emerging SMR and microreactor companies with the fuel they require at their manufacturing facilities to construct their reactors. We also expect to service the national nuclear laboratories and DOE programs which require HALEU by providing the fuel for their programs. Mobile reactors requiring HALEU for remote military bases are also anticipated, with potential military contacts. In 2026, our fuel transportation business will build on the work already completed by INL and ORNL to create a high-capacity HALEU transportation package. In September 2024, we signed an agreement with GNS to undertake a wide-ranging project to produce an optimized HALEU transportation system solution based on our exclusively licensed fuel transportation basket design. The GNS agreement encompasses a study for the transport of multiple HALEU nuclear fuel types, including uranium oxide, TRISO particles, uranium-zirconium hydride, uranium mononitride, and salt fuel for molten salt reactors, thus optimizing the quantity of material that can be transported and developing a conceptual package design that will accommodate the new basket design. We are receiving support from two former executives of the largest shipping company in the world who are assisting us in developing a North American transportation company using our licensed or developed technology to deliver (subject to applicable government licensing and certification) nuclear fuel for a wide customer base, including SMR and microreactor companies, national laboratories, military, and DOE programs.

*Our Business Services and Consulting Business*

We have identified an opportunity for more immediate revenue for our company by acquiring more expertise to advance our businesses and deploying those personnel as part of a consulting and services business. We have already identified several nuclear services and consultancy providers, which have been assessed as potentially suitable for acquisition by our company. We have concentrated on identifying small teams with expert personnel, with good portfolios of work and existing contracts, and good expansion potential, which would provide us with immediate revenue post-acquisition. We believe we are in a competitively advantageous position to expand these acquired businesses with the highly qualified teams it has built over the previous years.

 

*Obtaining Regulatory Licensing*

The regulatory licensing process for our microreactor prototypes is expected to be completed in the early 2030s, with manufacturing facilities being constructed during the licensing phase so we are ready to deploy microreactors (most notably our KRONOS MMR™) across the country upon licensing approval. Our KRONOS MMR™ reactor system has already undergone important pre-licensing activities, including the submission of a Regulatory Engagement Plan, several White Papers and Topical Reports, and NRC approval for Fuel Qualification Methodology for the advanced fuel design to be used in our KRONOS micro modular reactor energy system. Our ability to successfully license and certify our microreactors will subsequently be dependent on working through the licensing process with the NRC (and, as applicable, Canadian and other regulators) and satisfying their examinations that the reactor is safe to deploy to customers, provided the agreed protocols are adhered to. Our ability to successfully design and construct our own commercial nuclear fuel facilities will be dependent on obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals from the NRC and other applicable authorities to permit the commercial deployment of microreactors. The NRC inspects the site construction at new fuel cycle facilities and only approves the facility's capability to possess nuclear material after ensuring that the facility's safety controls are robust and able to safely handle these materials. Fuel cycle facilities must comply with the regulatory requirements established by the NRC. The facility will need to acquire an NRC license containing site-specific requirements that the facility is required to comply with. Each license is unique and is specific to the nuclear material and hazards present at the fuel cycle facility. To obtain a license will involve significant communication and interaction between the NRC and our company. NRC safety oversight includes three important components: NRC inspection, the routine assessment of each licensee's performance, and enforcement in the case that the regulatory requirements are not met. We will also develop an environmental report to support any fuel cycle facility application and will work with the NRC through the process established under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1970, which will begin when a federal agency develops a proposal to take a major federal action.

 

*Technology Acquisitions and Collaborations*

During 2024 and 2025, we announced our acquisition and development of complementary nuclear pump technology (the ALIP technology) as well as non-binding memoranda of understanding with third party collaborators to explore (i) the use of our microreactors in remote artificial intelligence data centers, the use of artificial intelligence in modernizing the nuclear regulatory and licensing process and (iii) development of nuclear fuel and microreactor capabilities in several non-U.S. jurisdictions in both Africa and South America. We expect that a material aspect of our business will involve continuing to develop, identify or seek to collaborate on, or acquire novel and beneficial technology for our company, and to support advanced nuclear technology both in the U.S. and around the world. Our inability to grow our company through such acquisitions or collaborations could have a material adverse effect on our business.

*Loss of EGC and Smaller Reporting Company Status*

As of December 31, 2025, we continue to qualify as an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. However, as of such date, we no longer qualify as a "smaller reporting company" as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act due to our public float exceeding the applicable threshold for smaller reporting company status. Accordingly, while we remain eligible to take advantage of certain reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, we are no longer entitled to the reduced disclosure requirements available to smaller reporting companies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we continue to qualify as a non-accelerated filer under the Exchange Act.

**Results of Operations** 

***Comparison of the Three Months Ended December 31, 2025 and the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024***

***Revenue***

We have not generated any material revenue from our inception through December 31, 2025.

***Expenses***

*Research and Development Expense*

Our research and development expenses represent costs incurred for designing and engineering products, including the costs of developing design tools. All research and development costs related to product development are expensed as incurred.

Research and development expenses increased by $4,495,487, or 497%, to $5,400,410 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $904,923 for the comparative period ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to a significant increase in expenses from research and development of our microreactors during the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024. Research and development expenses primarily reflect the internal and external personnel costs corresponding to the design and analysis of our microreactors. During the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, $569,509 and nil, respectively, of our research and development expenses corresponded to equity-based compensation

*General and Administrative Expense*

Our general and administrative expenses consist of compensation costs for personnel in executive, finance, accounting, and other administrative functions. General and administrative expenses also include legal fees, professional fees paid for accounting, auditing, consulting services, advertising costs, and insurance costs.

General and administrative expenses increased by $4,392,033, or 176%, to $6,886,603 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $2,494,570 for the comparative period ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to equity-based compensation, professional fees for legal and audit costs, and additional office and staff costs to support our research and development activities during the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, general and administrative expenses primarily consisted of $4.3 million in personnel costs, including $1.5 million in equity-based compensation and $1.0 million in professional fees. During the period ended December 31, 2024, general and administrative expenses primarily consisted of $0.8 million in personnel costs and $0.8 million in professional fees.

*Revaluation of contingent consideration*

Revaluation of contingent consideration corresponds to equity based contingent consideration corresponding to the ALIP technology we acquired which is revalued at the end of each financial quarter based on the closing stock price of our common stock.

The revaluation of contingent consideration resulted in an expense recovery of $727,500 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to an expense of $524,250 for the comparative period ended December 31, 2024, as a result of our acquisition of the ALIP technology on June 21, 2024.

*Other Income*

During the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we earned interest income of $4,920,707 and $789,381, respectively, on our cash and cash equivalents held at a financial institution. In addition, during the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 we earned $21,000 from a lease agreement from a related party. Also, during the three months ended December 31, 2025, we earned $71,850 from consulting services.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources** 

We have been able to utilize our status as a public company to raise significant capital since our May 2024 initial public offering. As such, we believe that our existing cash will fund our current operating and research and development plans through at least the next twelve months from the date of this Report. We have coupled our fundraising with what we believe is a prudent deployment of capital as we move our business forward. Although we have negative operating cash outflows of $3,989,840 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and $3,242,526 for the three months ended December 31, 2024, we had approximately $578 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 (compared to approximately $203 million as of September 30, 2025) and working capital of approximately $576 million as of December 31, 2025 (compared to approximately $201 million as of September 30, 2025).

However, the future development of our business towards ultimate commercialization of our products will require significant amounts of cash resources. Since we do not anticipate generating meaningful revenues for several years, we intend to finance our future cash requirements for capital expenditures, research and development and business development activities and general working capital through public or private equity or debt financings, third-party (including government) funding, or any combination of these approaches. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or equity-linked instruments, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution. Moreover, no assurances can be given that we will be able to raise required funding on favorable terms, if at all, and our inability to raise additional funding when needed could have a material adverse effect on our company and results of operations and could cause our business to fail.

 ****

***Going Concern***

As part of issuing our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we evaluated whether there were any conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern over the twelve months after the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Since inception, we have incurred significant operating losses, and have an accumulated deficit of approximately $64 million and negative operating cash flow during the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Management expects that operating losses and negative cash flows may increase from the 2025 levels because of additional costs and expenses related to our research and development activities. Our continued solvency is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional working capital to complete the design, construction, demonstration, regulatory licensing and ultimately commercialization of our reactors in development and other technologies and contemplated services.

To date, we have not generated any material revenue. We do not expect to generate any significant revenue unless and until we are able to commercialize our reactors. We will require additional capital to develop our reactors and to fund operations for the foreseeable future. We expect our costs to increase in connection with advancement of our reactors toward commercialization and develop our other lines of business. While we believe that our existing cash may be sufficient to support our development in the near-term, certain costs are not reasonably estimable at this time and we will require additional funding.

Management is of the opinion that sufficient working capital is available to meet our company's liabilities and commitments as they come due for at least the next twelve months after the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued to conform to the going concern uncertainty period. In order to achieve our company's long-term strategy, our company expects to raise additional capital or secure other sources of financing to support its business plan and growth.

*Cash Flows provided by Financing Activities*

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $381,328,870, which consisted of approximately $2.5 million from exercises of warrants, $0.5 million from exercises of stock options, and $400,000,333 in cash received from our October 2025 private placement offering less $21,520,711 of corresponding offering costs, and less $135,500 in deferred financing costs.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $101,562,943, which consisted of approximately $8 million from exercises of warrants, $1.2 million from exercises of stock options, and $101,400,012 in cash received from the issuance of shares of common stock from equity financings, less $9,058,855 in offering costs.

*Commitments* 

As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, we had two long-term operating leases corresponding to (1) our 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. Our corporate headquarters cover approximately 7,800 square feet. We lease this space for $33,605 per month whereby the monthly lease rent will increase by 2.5% on an annual basis. The lease has a term ending on July 31, 2031. Our demonstration facility covers approximately 6,800 square feet in Westchester County, New York. We lease this space for $17,000 per month whereby the monthly lease rent will increase by 2.5% on an annual basis. The lease has a term ending on December 31, 2030.

*Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements*

As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

We are exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates in the normal course of business and to market price fluctuations related to our financial investments. We may have involvement with derivative financial instruments and use such instruments to the extent necessary to manage exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. At December 31, 2025, we performed sensitivity analyses to assess the potential loss in the fair values of market risk sensitive instruments resulting from a hypothetical change of 10 percent in foreign currency exchange rates, a 10 percent decline in the market value of our long-term investments, or a 10 percent change in interest rates. Based upon the analyses performed, such changes would not be expected to materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures.**

*Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures*

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the period ended December 31, 2025, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025. Accordingly, our management believes that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report present fairly in all material respects our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. In addition, because we are an "emerging growth company" as defined under the terms of the JOBS Act of 2012, our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to issue an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our SEC filing reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

*Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting*

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II. OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings.**

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows, except for the following:

On August 9, 2024, a putative securities class action lawsuit was filed against us and certain of our officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned *Yvette Yang v. Nano Nuclear Energy Inc., et al.*, No. 1:24-cv-06057 (S.D.N.Y.). On October 28, 2024, the court entered an order appointing Hongyu Xie as lead plaintiff. On January 6, 2025, lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, naming as defendants the Company, Jay Yu, James Walker, and Jaisun Garcha. The amended complaint asserts claims for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired our securities from May 8, 2024 through July 30, 2024. The claims in the amended complaint relate to statements made by us and/or our directors or officers concerning the Company's business and prospects, including our progress toward development of nuclear microreactors and fuel manufacturing facilities. On February 21, 2025, all defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint pursuant to Rules 12(b)(6) and 9(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. On February 24, 2025, the court *sua sponte* entered an order permitting lead plaintiff to file a second amended complaint or stand on her amended complaint. On March 14, 2025, lead plaintiff filed a second amended complaint, asserting the same claims asserted in the amended complaint. On April 11, 2025, all defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint pursuant to Rules 12(b)(6) and 9(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. On January 8, 2026, the court issued an order granting defendants' motion to dismiss and permitting plaintiff to file a third amended complaint. On February 6, 2026, plaintiff notified the court that she would not file a third amended complaint. On February 12, 2026, the court entered judgment in favor of defendants. On February 12, 2026, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeal for the Second Circuit. No briefing dates for the appeal have been scheduled as of the date of this Report. We dispute the allegations in the amended complaint and will continue to defend the case vigorously.

In addition, on August 23, 2024, a putative shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed purportedly on behalf of our company, as nominal defendant, against certain of our directors and officers in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada, captioned William Latza, Derivatively on Behalf of Nano Nuclear, Inc. v. James Walker, et al., No. A-24-900423-C. On December 20, 2024, plaintiff filed an amended complaint, alleging claims for alleged breach of fiduciary duties, corporate waste, market manipulation, and racketeering, among others. The claims asserted in the amended complaint relate to our management, business and prospects, including, among others, our progress toward microreactor development, the qualifications of our management, and our investment in LIS Technologies Inc. On behalf of our company, the plaintiff seeks damages from the director and officer defendants and an order directing our company to take actions to reform and improve corporate governance and internal procedures. On February 4, 2025, our company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint pursuant to Rule 23.1 of the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure for failure to make a demand or alleged demand futility, and our directors and officers filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint pursuant to Rules 12(b)(5) and 23.1 of the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure for failure to state a claim on which relief can be granted and plaintiff's lack of standing. On April 24, 2025, the court heard and granted both the Company's motion to dismiss and the directors' and officers' motion to dismiss without leave to amend. On October 30, 2025, the court entered a formal written order and statement of decision granting the motions to dismiss. On November 21, 2025, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal with the Nevada Supreme Court. On February 10, 2026, plaintiff and defendants filed a stipulation to dismiss the case with prejudice, with each side bearing its own costs and fees, and the court entered an order dismissing the case with prejudice.

In addition, from time to time, we may be subject to various additional claims, lawsuits, and other legal and administrative proceedings that may arise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims, lawsuits, and other proceedings may range in complexity and result in substantial uncertainty; it is possible that they may result in damages, fines, penalties, non-monetary sanctions, or relief.

As we continue to grow and develop our products, we anticipate that we will expend significant financial and managerial resources in the defense of our products in the future. We also anticipate that we will expend significant financial and managerial resources to defend against claims that our products and services infringe upon the intellectual property rights of third parties.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors.**

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Report include the risk factors described in our filings with the SEC, including the section titled "Risk Factors" in our 2025 Annual Report. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

As of the date of this Report, except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our prior SEC filings, including our 2025 Annual Report.

On January 16, 2026, we received a subpoena for documents from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") relating to two service providers. This subpoena, which is part of an investigation by the SEC, follows an initial request for information by the SEC to us in April 2025. We completed a voluntary production of documents in August 2025. We are cooperating fully with the SEC. At this juncture, we cannot predict the outcome of the investigation.
