ASP Isotopes Inc.’s subsidiary, ASP Isotopes Guernsey Limited (“ASP Guernsey”), has its principal operations in Guernsey. ASP Guernsey’s subsidiary, ASP Isotopes South Africa Proprietary Limited (“ASP South Africa”), has its principal operations in South Africa. ASP Rentals Proprietary Limited (“ASP Rentals”), a variable interest entity (“VIE”) of ASP South Africa, has its principal operations in South Africa. Enlightened Isotopes (Pty) Ltd (“Enlightened Isotopes”), a 80% owned subsidiary of ASP South Africa, was formed in March 2023 and began operations in January 2024. ASP Isotopes UK Ltd (“ASP UK”), a subsidiary of ASP Guernsey, was incorporated in July 2022. ASPI South Africa Asset Finance ("ASP SA Asset Finance”), a subsidiary of ASP South Africa, was incorporated in July 2024. ASP Isotopes efh, a subsidiary of ASP Guernsey, was incorporated in 2024 in Iceland. PET Labs Global Nuclear Medicine SEZC (“PET Labs Global”), a subsidiary of ASP Guernsey, was incorporated in June 2024 in the Cayman Islands. PET Labs Pharmaceuticals Proprietary Limited (“PET Labs”), a 51% owned subsidiary of ASP Isotopes Inc. operates in South Africa. ASP Isotopes Inc.’s subsidiary, Quantum Leap Energy LLC (“QLE”), was formed in the state of Delaware in September 2023 and began operations in February 2024. QLE’s direct wholly owned subsidiary Quantum Leap Energy Limited (“QLE UK”), has its operations in the United Kingdom. QLE’s indirect wholly owned subsidiary Quantum Leap Energy Proprietary Limited (“QLE South Africa”), has its operations in South Africa. QLE also formed QLE TP Funding SPE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as a wholly owned subsidiary to act as a special purpose borrower for a loan transaction with TerraPower (the “QLE SPE Borrower”). The QLE SPE Borrower has formed a subsidiary in South Africa to act as the project company for a proposed new uranium enrichment facility at Pelindaba, South Africa. ASP Isotopes Inc., its subsidiaries and ASP Rentals are collectively referred to as “the Company” throughout these consolidated statements.

The Company is a development stage advanced materials company dedicated to the development of technology and processes that, if successful, will allow for the enrichment of natural isotopes into higher concentration products, which could be used in several industries. The Company’s proprietary technologies, the Aerodynamic Separation Process (“ASP technology”) and Quantum Enrichment technology (“QE technology”), are designed to enable the production of isotopes used in several industries. The Company’s initial focus is on the production and commercialization of enriched Carbon-14 (“C-14”), Silicon-28 (“Si-28”) and Ytterbium-176 (“Yb-176”).

The Company has completed the commissioning phase and are commencing commercial production at the C-14 and Si-28 enrichment facilities located in Pretoria, South Africa. The Company has also completed the commissioning phase and is commencing production of commercial samples of highly enriched Yb-176 at the Yb-176 enrichment facility in Pretoria, South Africa. We expect our first three enrichment facilities to generate commercial supply during the fourth quarter of 2025. In addition, the Company has started planning additional isotope enrichment plants both in South Africa and in other jurisdictions, including Iceland and the United States. The Company believes the C-14 it may produce using the ASP technology may be used in the development of new pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The Company believes the Si-28 it may produce using the ASP technology may be used to develop advanced semiconductors and in quantum computing. The Company believes the Yb-176 we may produce using the QE technology may be used to create radiotherapeutics that treat various forms of oncology.

In addition, the Company is considering the future development of the ASP technology for the separation of Zinc-68, Xenon-129/136 for potential use in the healthcare end market, Germanium 70/72/74 for possible use in the semiconductor end market, and Chlorine-37 for potential use in the nuclear energy end market.

The Company is also considering the future development of QE technology for the separation of Nickel-64, Gadolinium-160, Lithium 6 and Lithium-7. The Company is also pursuing an initiative to apply our enrichment technologies to the enrichment of Uranium-235 (“U-235”). The Company believes the U-235 that it may produce using quantum enrichment technology may be commercialized as a nuclear fuel component for use in the new generation of high-assay low-enriched uranium ("HALEU")-fueled small modular reactors that are now under development for commercial and government uses.

Liquidity

The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception. The Company incurred net losses of $83.6 million and $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. On June 3, 2025, the Company sold 7,518,797 shares of its common stock in a registered direct offering at the offering price of $6.65 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $46.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. On July 25, 2025, the Company raised an additional $56,400,000 in net proceeds from issuing 7,500,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $8.00 per share. The Company currently expects that its cash and cash equivalents of $67.7 million as of June 30, 2025 plus amounts raised in July 2025 will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital requirements for more than 12 months from the date the financial statements are issued.

There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or sustain positive cash flows from operations or profitability. The Company anticipates it will need to continue to raise capital through additional equity and/or debt financings and/or collaborative development agreements to fund its operations beyond the next year. However, such funding may not be available on a timely basis on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, the Company may be required to scale back or discontinue the advancement of product candidates, reduce headcount, reorganize, merge with another entity, or cease operations.
