8. ACQUISITION OF ALIP TECHNOLOGY

 

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

 

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

 

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

   Total 
Cash (paid on closing)  $50,000 
Common shares (issued on closing)   786,500 
Contingent cash   50,000 
Contingent common shares (fair value at closing)   786,500 
Total purchase price  $1,673,000 

 

As of June 21, 2024, the contingent cash and common shares obligation was recorded at its fair value of $836,500 based on the closing price of NANO’s stock on the date of acquisition. At June 30, 2025, the contingent cash and common shares obligation was revalued to its fair value of $1,774,500 based on the closing price of NANO’s stock on June 30, 2025, which resulted in a revaluation expense of $401,500 and $1,004,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
