| Description of Business and Basis of Presentation | Note 1: Description of Business and Basis of Presentation Organization Deep Fission, Inc. (“Deep Fission” or the “Company”) was incorporated on July 17, 2023, under the laws of the state of Delaware. Surfside Acquisition Inc. (“Surfside”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 10, 2021. Prior to the Merger (as defined below), Surfside was a “shell company” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). On September 5, 2025 (the “Merger Closing Date”), Surfside completed a merger (the “Merger”) with Deep Fission Nuclear, Inc. (formerly known as Deep Fission, Inc.), a private Delaware corporation (“Legacy Deep Fission”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), under which a wholly owned subsidiary of Surfside merged with and into Legacy Deep Fission, with Legacy Deep Fission continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Surfside. In connection with the transaction, Surfside changed its name to Deep Fission, Inc. For financial reporting purposes, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization and reverse acquisition, with Legacy Deep Fission considered the accounting acquirer. See below, Recapitalization, for the accounting of the Merger. Following the consummation of the Merger, the business previously conducted by Legacy Deep Fission became the business conducted by the Company. The Company’s headquarters are located in Berkeley, California. Operations The Company is a nuclear energy technology company developing a small modular reactor based on established pressurized water reactor technology, with novel emplacement in deep boreholes approximately one mile below the Earth’s surface. The Company is participating in the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) Reactor Pilot Program, and the Company expects to demonstrate its system as part of the DOE Reactor Pilot Program. Deep Fission’s current activities include test borehole construction, reactor design, safety analysis, thermal-hydraulic modeling, regulatory engagement with the DOE and the NRC, and supply chain development for reactor components and drilling operations. Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations applicable to interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Financial information as of December 31, 2025 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto as of that date. For accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as a reverse recapitalization outside the scope of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations” (see Organization above and Recapitalization below), with Legacy Deep Fission considered the accounting acquirer and the Company (formerly Surfside Acquisition Inc.) considered the legal acquirer. Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent a continuation of the financial statements of Legacy Deep Fission, with the Merger reflected as the equivalent of Legacy Deep Fission issuing shares for the net assets of Surfside, accompanied by a recapitalization. All periods prior to the Merger reflect the historical financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Legacy Deep Fission. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in the name of the legal parent; however, they represent the historical operations of Legacy Deep Fission. The number of shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share, where applicable, have been retroactively restated to reflect the Common Share Conversion Ratio (as defined below) established in connection with the Merger. No goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded as a result of the transaction. Liquidity and Going Concern As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $93,016. The Company continues to incur significant operating losses. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company had a net loss of $31,009. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company had a net loss of $52,353 and cash used in operating activities of $42,462. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $119,080. Management expects that significant ongoing operating expenditures will be necessary to successfully implement the Company’s business plan and develop and market its products and services. During the quarter, the Company completed its initial public offering, resulting in proceeds of $34,291, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and offering costs. While the offering strengthened the Company’s liquidity position, management’s current operating plan indicates that the proceeds from the offering, together with existing cash and cash equivalents, will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations through the one-year period following the issuance of these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these circumstances continue to raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Implementation of the Company’s plans and its ability to continue as a going concern will depend upon the Company’s ability to establish a source of revenue and, in the near term, to raise additional capital to fund its operations. The Company plans to access capital resources through possible public or private equity issuances, debt financings, corporate collaborations, and other means. The Company has historically been able to raise capital through equity and equity-linked instruments, such as Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFE Notes”), private placements of its securities, and public equity issuances. However, no assurance can be provided that it will continue to be successful in raising capital in the future. While the Company believes that it has a reasonable basis for its expectation that it will be able to raise additional funds, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete additional financing on acceptable terms, on a timely basis, or at all. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern due to the inability to obtain adequate financing in the future. Recapitalization As described above, Legacy Deep Fission continued as the surviving corporation and became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary following the Merger. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization and Legacy Deep Fission was considered the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes. This determination was based on the facts that, immediately following the Merger:
At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Legacy Deep Fission capital stock (after giving effect to the conversion of all SAFE Notes of Legacy Deep Fission into shares of Legacy Deep Fission common stock) was converted into the right to receive 17.32141 shares of the Company’s common stock, rounded to the nearest whole share (“Common Share Conversion Ratio”). Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the Common Share Conversion Ratio. There was no effect on the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock authorized for issuance under the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or the par value of such securities. On September 5, 2025, the Company issued 85,000 shares of its common stock to an accredited investor (the “Advisor”) in consideration for services rendered in connection with the Merger. On September 5, 2025, the Company issued an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $3.00 per share in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) to certain accredited and institutional investors for aggregate gross consideration of $30,000. The Company also issued warrants to each of the U.S. registered broker-dealers acting as placement agents in connection with the Private Placement representing the right to acquire, on the terms set forth therein, 586,666 shares of its common stock.
