14. Acquisitions

The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with Business Combinations (Topic 805), which requires an acquirer to retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recognized in a business combination during the measurement period (which represents a period not to exceed one year from the date of the acquisition), in the reporting period in which the adjustment is determined, as well as present separately on the face of the income statement or as a disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the portion of the amount recorded in current period earnings that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date.

 

PET Labs

In October 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of PET Labs. The acquisition is intended to accelerate the distribution of the Company’s pipeline.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired 51% of the common shares issued and outstanding for total purchase consideration of $2.0 million in cash of which $0.5 million was paid up front. In December 2025, January 2025 and January 2024, the Company made partial payments of $0.5 million, $0.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively, resulting in no balance remaining as of December 31, 2025.

In addition to the purchase consideration, the Company has an option to purchase the remaining 49% of the issued and outstanding shares for an agreed consideration totaling $2.2 million. No consideration or value relating to this option was recognized as it was not considered probable at the time of acquisition and as of March 31, 2026.

Dr. Gerdus Kemp is an officer of PET Labs and, effective November 1, 2023, an employee of ASP Guernsey. In addition, Dr. Kemp controls the remaining 49% ownership of PET Labs.

East Coast Nuclear Pharmacy

In October 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of ECNP. The acquisition is intended to supplement the distribution of the Company’s pipeline. The acquisition of ECNP has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests for total purchase consideration of $2.5 million of which $2.0 million was paid up front in cash and the remaining $0.5 million was deferred through the issuance of notes payable that are to be repaid by June 30, 2026. The balance of the notes payable as of each of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $0.5 million.

Goodwill arising from the acquisition as of October 1, 2025 of $1.6 million was attributable mainly to buyer specific synergies expected to arise from the acquisition. No goodwill from this acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes. The Company considered the contractual value of accounts receivable to be the same as the fair value and the full amount was collected. The results of ECNP have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition.

One 30 Seven Inc. ("One 30 Seven") Acquisition

In October 2025, QLE acquired substantially all of the assets, including an international patent application and its related rights, from One 30 Seven, a Canadian company engaged in the business of researching and developing decontamination solutions for nuclear waste, particularly radioactive waste from radioactive materials from nuclear power plants, radiopharmaceuticals, and military sources. QLE made an initial cash payment of $150,000 and issued 266,113 shares of the Company’s common stock and accounted for the transaction as a purchase of assets. The Company may be required to make additional payments, in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, totaling $17.0 million upon completion of certain milestones. This contingent payment was not considered probable at the acquisition date and therefore no contingent consideration was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2025 or the three months ended March 31, 2026.

In connection with the acquisition of assets from One 30 Seven, QLE entered into a consulting agreement with B-Con Engineering Inc., led by inventor Brian Creber, to develop and validate the functional operation of a Creber Mini Unit at an estimated cost of $4.5 million over 18 months, followed by either a Midi or Maxi Unit at approximately $12.5 million to $13.0 million over another 18 months. QLE has agreed to fund the project through quarterly advances, with acceptance testing and monthly reporting to ensure milestones are met. In addition, QLE entered into a royalty agreement with One 30 Seven pursuant to which QLE agreed to pay a 6.0% royalty on net revenues from product sales or licensing for 15 years per product, starting from the first commercial sale. The royalty agreement will terminate if the commercialization of a Creber Unit is not achieved by the fourth anniversary of closing of the acquisition of assets from One 30 Seven.

The Company determined that the cost to acquire the One 30 Seven assets was $2.7 million, based on the cash paid of $150,000, fair value of the equity consideration issued of $2.6 million and direct costs of the acquisition of $7,000. The One 30 Seven acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition as One 30 Seven was not considered to be a business under ASC 805 or SEC Rule 11-01(d) as substantially all of the fair value of the non-monetary assets acquired was concentrated in a single identifiable asset. In the estimation of fair value of the asset purchase consideration, the Company used fair value attributable to the acquired IPR&D. Since One 30 Seven was in the development stage and no commercial production had commenced at the time of the acquisition, the cost attributable to the IPR&D was expensed in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2025, as the acquired IPR&D had no alternative future use.

Numed Diagnostics, LLC

In January 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Numed Diagnostics, LLC ("Numed"). The acquisition is intended to supplement the distribution of the Company’s pipeline. The acquisition of Numed has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired 60% of the issued and outstanding membership interests for total purchase consideration of $0.8 million. In addition to the purchase consideration, the Company is obligated to purchase an additional 36% of Numed's membership interests for $0.5 million within two years and has an option to purchase the remaining 4% of the issued and outstanding membership interests for $50,000. Contingent consideration relating to this obligated purchase of $0.4 million was recognized at acquisition and as of March 31, 2026.

The results of Numed have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition.

Renergen

On January 6, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Renergen and acquired all of the issued Renergen ordinary shares from Renergen shareholders in exchange for shares of the Company's common stock at an exchange ratio of 0.09196 shares of Company common stock for each Renergen ordinary share (the “Consideration Shares”) through the implementation of the Scheme, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 14,270,000 Consideration Shares. As a result of the transaction, Renergen became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of ASP Isotopes.

In connection with the transaction, Renergen ordinary shares were delisted from the JSE and the Australian Securities Exchange (the "A2X"). The Company's common stock continues to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market and on the JSE.

In addition, the Company expects to appoint Stefano Marani, the Chief Executive Officer of Renergen, as the President, Electronics and Space of the Company, and Nick Mitchell, the Chief Operating Officer of Renergen, as the Co-Chief Operating Officer of the Company once the terms of their employment agreements are finalized.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that

it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting segment exceeds its fair value. No goodwill impairments were recognized for the years presented.

The carrying amount of goodwill by reporting segment as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is as follows (in thousands):
