MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF TERRA INNOVATUM GLOBAL, SRL.
The following discussion
and analysis provides information that Terra Innovatum Global, Srl. (“Terra Innovatum Global”) management believes is relevant
to an assessment and understanding of Terra Innovatum Global’s results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should
be read together with Terra Innovatum Global’s unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, and the related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
This discussion may contain
forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Terra Innovatum Global’s actual
results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those
set forth under “Risk Factors” or in other parts of this Form 10-Q.
Presentation of Financial Information
Beginning with this quarterly
report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we have elected to present all dollar amounts rounded to the
nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated. In prior periods, including those presented in the Form S-4 Amendment No. 5 filed
on September 11, 2025, financial information was presented in whole dollars. This change has been made to enhance the readability and
consistency of financial disclosures. As a result, certain prior period amounts may not be directly comparable due to rounding differences.
Company Overview
Terra Innovatum Global is a
pioneering nuclear energy technology company developing the SOLO Micro-Modular Nuclear Reactor (“SOLO”), a breakthrough solution
designed to address critical challenges in clean energy production. Our reactor represents a significant technological and engineering
advancement, offering a compact, safe, and economically compelling alternative to traditional energy infrastructure. The SOLO reactor’s
core innovation lies in its ability to generate 1 MWe of electricity baseload with a continuous operational cycle of up to 15 years,
extendable to 45 years through strategic refueling, with a fixed and competitive projected levelized cost of energy. SOLO design
is characterized by a small footprint and a highly modularity able to cover carbon-free energy needs ranging from MW to GW.
Our strategic roadmap targets
commercial deployment by 2028, with a clear focus on delivering a scalable, modular nuclear solution that can be deployed across diverse
markets — from industrial and infrastructure to remote and off-grid applications. Key differentiators include our gas-cooled
design, multiple safety shutdown mechanisms, safeguard-by-design, small footprint, and the ability to use commercially available Low Enriched
Uranium (“LEU”), which significantly reduces regulatory and technological barriers typical in nuclear energy development.
We have made substantial progress
in de-risking its First-of-a-Kind (“FOAK”) reactor, including initiating regulatory engagement with the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (“NRC”), and establishing a robust supply chain strategy. We have completed our reactor design, validated
key technological components, and are advancing through critical regulatory milestones to achieve our 2028 FOAK reactor completion target.
On July 9, we disclosed that a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) had been signed with Rock City Admiral Parkway Development
(“Rock City”) to host the FOAK reactor, subject to customary approvals including, but not limited to, NRC approval. As a number
of conditions are expected to be required in order for Rock City to host the FOAK, we are concurrently examining potential alternative
sites, including other locations owned by the owner and developer of Rock City. To that effect, we signed an amendment to the original
MoU on September 3, 2025 which provides us with an additional potential FOAK site.
Recent Developments
Engineering Services Agreement
On July 11, 2025, we
entered into an engineering services agreement with Nine, a related party, to support the design of the SOLO project. Per the terms of
the agreement, Nine committed to deliver certain technical services to the Company with a total value of $215 (€184 Euros) plus
value added tax (“VAT”), including an initial payment of $131 that was paid in September 2025.
19
FPoliSolutions LLC Agreement
On July 23, 2025, we entered
into an engineering services agreement with FPoliSolutions LLC (FPoli Solutions), a related party. As per the terms of the agreement,
FPoliSolutions will provide support for the development of the SOLO Micro Modular Reactor including technical assistance in safety analysis,
hazard modeling, radiological consequence evaluation, risk-informed safety assessments, and techno-economic analysis. The work was completed in September 2025.
Q3 2025 Bridge Loans
In August and September 2025,
multiple lenders committed to loan $690 to the Company, in the aggregate, to be evidenced by unsecured debt note subscription agreements
(the “Q3 2025 Bridge Loans”). In August and September 2025, each of the lenders entered into an unsecured debt note subscription
agreement. In accordance with the terms of the agreements, the Q3 2025 Bridge Loans bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 15%, PIK and
calculated on the outstanding principal balance. The Q3 2025 Bridge Loans mature one year from their respective issuance dates and are
subject to mandatory early redemption upon the consummation of a qualifying business combination, such as the Merger. In such an event,
all accrued and unaccrued interest becomes immediately due and payable on the 30th day following the completion of the qualifying transaction.
In August and September 2025,
the Company entered into letter agreements to convert the Q3 2025 Bridge Loans into ordinary shares of Terra Innovatum Global N.V. if
the Merger is completed (the “Q3 2025 Bridge Loan Conversion”). Per the terms of the agreements, if the Q3 2025 Bridge Loan
Conversion happens at the time of the Merger, the shares will be priced at $7.00 each. If the Merger does not occur by April 30, 2026,
the August Bridge Loan Conversion price will instead be based on a valuation of $100,000 divided by the fully diluted equity of Terra.
If the Merger is successful, the shares will be issued by Terra Innovatum Global N.V.; if not, they will be issued by Terra or its parent
company. If the Merger is completed, Terra is released from its obligations, and Terra Innovatum Global N.V. assumes them. If the Merger
is not completed, the lenders are also entitled to a liquidation preference for shares received upon conversion, the lender is also entitled
to a liquidation preference, receiving either 150% of the conversion price or a pro rata share of the liquidation proceeds, whichever
is greater.
Bridge Loan Amendments
In August 2025, we amended
our Bridge Loan agreements that were in effect at the time. The liquidation preference in each agreement was modified to apply only upon
termination of the Merger and entitles lenders to the greater of 150% of the conversion price, as defined, or a pro rata share of the
equity issuer’s assets based on their ownership percentage. Upon consummation of the Merger, the liquidation preference will terminate.
The amendment defines the coverage amount as 100% of the total number of shares issued upon conversion. Following the Merger, lenders
will receive two sets of warrants to subscribe to a number of ordinary shares of the Company equal to the coverage amount, priced at $11.50
and $15.00 per share respectively. These warrants are exercisable within 36 months and do not include anti-dilution rights.
Additionally, lenders are obligated
to use their best efforts to actively support PIPE fundraising efforts and will earn a 3% commission on the funds raised through their
efforts, payable in cash or ordinary shares of Terra Innovatum Global at the applicable conversion price if the Merger is consummated.
Senior Advisor Agreement
In August 2025, we entered
into a senior advisor agreement with Alex Spiro who will engage as an independent contractor to serve as a strategic advisor and promoter
for the Company, particularly in connection with the Merger. The term of the agreement is 36 months and outlines Mr. Spiro’s responsibilities,
including strategic advisory, business development, investor introductions, and support for commercial agreements related to SOLO. Compensation
includes a one-time grant of 180,000 restricted shares in the post-combination public entity (vesting over 36 months) and 1% commission
on qualifying new business he originates.

for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As noted in our financial statements, we had an accumulated deficit of $5,617
as of September 30, 2025.
Key Factors and Trends Affecting Our Business and Results of Operations
We believe the following factors and trends may
cause previously reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results or future financial conditions:
● Product Development Plan
The commercial rollout of any advanced nuclear reactors depends
on securing regulatory approvals for its design, construction, and operation. Our regulatory engagement plan was submitted to the NRC,
and the NRC is currently reviewing a number of safety related topics related to SOLO. Although our team has significant prior experience
working with the NRC, we cannot control NRC’s review process and review periods may take longer than anticipated.
● Macroeconomic Conditions and Global Market Dynamics
Our business operates in a complex global environment with
multiple interconnected economic factors that can significantly impact our technological development, regulatory trajectory, and potential
market penetration. As a nuclear technology company with an international human capital strategy and multinational supply chain, we are
sensitive to macroeconomic trends and risks.
● Global Supply Chain Dynamics
We utilize a strategic outsourced manufacturing approach for
the SOLO Micro-Modular Nuclear Reactor, leveraging international human resources and implementing an international manufacturing model
for our FOAK reactor. This strategy exposes us to global supply chain vulnerabilities, including potential impacts from geopolitical tensions,
trade agreements, tariffs, and manufacturing disruptions. Our current assembly preparation in Europe for reactor deployment in the U.S. introduces
additional complexity in navigating international trade regulations, currency exchange risks, and logistical challenges.
24
By partnering with specialized suppliers certified in nuclear
engineering and precision manufacturing, we aim to avoid significant capital investments in manufacturing facilities and concentrate our
resources on core competencies such as reactor design, technological innovation, and regulatory compliance. Our procurement strategy involves
direct engagement with multiple suppliers for critical components, ensuring supply chain reliability and maintaining the flexibility to
adapt our technology to evolving market and regulatory requirements.
● Inflation and Cost Pressures
Inflationary trends represent a risk to our development trajectory.
Escalating costs in specialized manufacturing, regulatory compliance, technical talent acquisition, and raw material procurement could
potentially erode our projected economic advantages.
● Energy Market Evolution
The global energy transition, driven by decarbonization efforts
and increasing demand for reliable low-carbon baseload power, creates both opportunities and challenges. The explosive growth in data
center energy requirements, particularly with artificial intelligence (“AI”) and computational infrastructure expansion, presents
a promising market segment. However, economic growth cycles, shifts in energy policy, and potential slowdowns in technological adoption
could materially affect our market positioning and revenue projections.
To mitigate the AI driven market concentration risks, we have
strategically designed SOLO with multi-sector versatility, targeting a diverse range of energy-intensive industries including industrial
manufacturing (cement, steel, mining, paper production), critical infrastructure services (airports, ports, logistics hubs), agricultural
and food processing applications (greenhouses, vertical farming, food processing plants), energy storage (ammonia production, pink hydrogen)
and essential utility services like desalination and water treatment. This intentional market diversification allows us to create resilience
against sector-specific economic fluctuations, leveraging SOLO’s ability to provide both electricity and thermal energy across multiple
high-demand sectors, including emerging opportunities in medical radioisotope production.
● Regulatory and Geopolitical Landscape
Our multinational operational model requires navigating complex
regulatory environments across different jurisdictions. Changes in nuclear energy policies and geopolitical tensions could significantly
impact our potential market access. The evolving global stance on nuclear energy, particularly small modular reactors, introduces both
strategic opportunities and potential regulatory constraints.
● Technological and Labor Market Dynamics
The specialized nature of our technology demands access to
a global pool of highly skilled technical talent. Potential labor market shifts, competition for specialized nuclear engineering expertise,
and varying international education and training standards could influence our human resource strategy and technology development velocity.
● Economic Uncertainty Factors
Macroeconomic uncertainties, including potential recessionary
periods, fluctuations in investment trends in energy related technology, and broader economic growth patterns, could affect our funding
capabilities, customer acquisition strategies, and overall business development trajectory.
● Funding and Investment
We have limited financial resources. There can be no assurance
that sufficient funding will be available to us to fund our operating expenses and to further develop our business. We anticipate that
we will likely need to raise additional capital to fund our operations while we implement and execute our business plan.
25
Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status
Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our
Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial
accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective
or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to
comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended
transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable.
Until the company is considered to be an emerging growth company, the company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period
which means that when an accounting standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies,
the company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised
standard.
We are also a “smaller
reporting company” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company
even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller
reporting companies until the fiscal year following the determination that our voting and non-voting ordinary shares held by non-affiliates
is $250,000 or more measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenues are less than $100,000
during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting ordinary shares held by non-affiliates is $700,000 or more
measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.
Segment Reporting
We operate as one operating segment with a focus
on nuclear energy. Our Chief Executive Office (“CEO”) and founding officers are the Chief Operating Decision Makers as this
committee 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.

Operating Expenses
General and administrative
General and administrative
increased by $5,648 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to increases of $2,366
for fees for legal services, $1,234 due to fees for management consultancy services, $796 due to fees for audit and accounting services,
$322 due to board of directors compensation, $284 due to advisory fees in connection with the SPAC transaction discussed in the “Business
Combination and Public Listing” section above, $168 due to fees for public relations consultancy services, $154 due to other
professional fees, $74 due to compliance and regulatory fees, $64 due to food and lodging expenses, and $186 of miscellaneous expenses.
We expect to continue to incur
additional general and administrative expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance
with the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq Stock Market, additional insurance costs, investor relations activities and other
administrative and professional services. As a result, we expect general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars in
future periods.
Development costs
Development costs increased
by $191 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to increases in travel
and entertainment expenses of $119 and $72 due to technical and engineering studies.
Other income (expenses)
Other income — related party
Other income — related
party decreased by $96 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. We provided engineering
consulting services unrelated to our core business during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. No such services were provided
during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Other expense
Other expense increased by
$215 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to
$249 of foreign currency transaction losses and an increase of $3 of miscellaneous expenses, partially offset by $37 foreign currency
transaction gains.
Interest expense
Interest expense totaled $726
for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, attributable to the Bridge Loans. There was no interest expense during the same
period in 2024.
Change in fair value — warrant
liability
Our change in fair value — warrant
liability consists of the change in fair value of certain Bridge Loan warrants, which were initially recorded at fair value as a warrant
liability and were reclassified to permanent equity during the period.
Net loss
Net loss for the nine months
ended September 30, 2025 was $5,580 as compared to net income of $36 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The $5,616 net change was due to an increase of $5,839 in loss from operations and an increase of $223 in other income, net.

Liquidity, Going Concern, and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of
a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing
basis. Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from capital contributions. To date, we have not
generated any revenue from our core business operations. We do not expect to generate any meaningful revenue unless and until we are able
to complete development, regulatory licensing and entering into the effective commercialization phase of the SOLO Micro-Modular Nuclear
Reactor which we do not anticipate occurring before 2028. We will require additional capital to develop the SOLO Micro-Modular Nuclear
Reactor and to fund operations for the foreseeable future. In the short term, we will fund our cash needs through funds raised through
convertible bridge loans and funds to be received upon the closing of the Business Combination. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, we raised
approximately $5,690 in bridge financing. It is a condition to closing that the GSR Available Cash be at least $25,000.
We will be outsourcing manufacturing.
Consequently, we will not need to invest heavily in manufacturing facilities for the first 2 to 3 years while scaling up to 1,000 units
per year. After that, Terra will most likely require co-investments with suppliers and contract manufacturers. If additional funding was
made available earlier, we would be in a position to upfront some of the working capital and capital expenses requirements associated
with a faster ramp up of the production capacity.
As of September 30, 2025, we had cash of $2,151
and an accumulated deficit of approximately $5,617. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we used approximately $3,688 of cash
in operating activities and have historically incurred recurring losses and negative operating cash flows. These conditions initially
raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements were
issued.
Subsequent to the balance sheet date, on October 9, 2025, we completed
the Merger see “ Business Combination and Public Listing ” below, which resulted in the conversion of $5,690 of Bridge
Loans into equity and warrants and provided significant additional liquidity. Based on our current forecasts, expected cash outflows over
the next 12 months to support FOAK development, engineering and licensing activities, and general business operations are not anticipated
to exceed available liquidity. We therefore believe that existing cash will be sufficient to our working capital and capital expenditure
requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand,
and our primary uses of liquidity are operating expenses, licensing activities, and capital expenditures. We continue to monitor our liquidity
position and may consider additional financing arrangements, including equity offerings, to support our growth strategy as appropriate.
Q3 2025 Bridge Loans
In August and September 2025,
multiple lenders committed to loan $690 to the Company, in the aggregate, to be evidenced by unsecured debt note subscription agreements
(the “Q3 2025 Bridge Loans”). In August and September 2025, each of the lenders entered into an unsecured debt note subscription
agreement. In accordance with the terms of the agreements, the Q3 2025 Bridge Loans bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 15%, PIK and
calculated on the outstanding principal balance. The Q3 2025 Bridge Loans mature one year from their respective issuance dates and are
subject to mandatory early redemption upon the consummation of a qualifying business combination, such as the Merger. In such an event,
all accrued and unaccrued interest becomes immediately due and payable on the 30th day following the completion of the qualifying transaction.
In August and September 2025,
the Company entered into letter agreements to convert the Q3 2025 Bridge Loans into ordinary shares of Terra Innovatum Global N.V. if
the Merger is completed (the “Q3 2025 Bridge Loan Conversion”). Per the terms of the agreements, if the Q3 2025 Bridge Loan
Conversion happens at the time of the Merger, the shares will be priced at $7.00 each. If the Merger does not occur by April 30, 2026,
the August Bridge Loan Conversion price will instead be based on a valuation of $100,000 divided by the fully diluted equity of Terra.
If the Merger is successful, the shares will be issued by Terra Innovatum Global N.V.; if not, they will be issued by Terra or its parent
company. If the Merger is completed, Terra is released from its obligations, and Terra Innovatum Global N.V. assumes them. If the Merger
is not completed, the lenders are also entitled to a liquidation preference for shares received upon conversion, the lender is also entitled
to a liquidation preference, receiving either 150% of the conversion price or a pro rata share of the liquidation proceeds, whichever
is greater.
30
Bridge Loan Amendments
In August 2025, we amended
our Bridge Loan agreements. The liquidation preference in each agreement was modified to apply only upon termination of the Merger and
entitles lenders to the greater of 150% of the conversion price, as defined, or a pro rata share of the equity issuer’s assets based
on their ownership percentage. Upon consummation of the Merger, the liquidation preference will terminate. The amendment defines the coverage
amount as 100% of the total number of shares issued upon conversion. Following the Merger, lenders will receive two sets of warrants to
subscribe to a number of ordinary shares of the Company equal to the coverage amount, priced at $11.50 and $15.00 per share respectively.
These warrants are exercisable within 36 months and do not include anti-dilution rights. Additionally, lenders are obligated to use their
best efforts to actively support PIPE fundraising efforts and will earn a 3% commission on the funds raised through their efforts, payable
in cash or ordinary shares of Terra Innovatum Global at the applicable conversion price if the Merger is consummated.
Business Combination and Public Listing
On October 9, 2025, Terra
Innovatum Global consummated its previously announced business combination with GSR III Acquisition Corp. (“GSR III”) pursuant
to the Merger Agreement dated April 21, 2025, among Terra, GSR III, and other parties thereto (the “Merger”).
Pre-Closing Restructuring
Prior to the Merger, Terra
completed a series of restructuring steps (the “Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring”) designed to facilitate the transaction:
● Formation of Terra Innovatum Global, Srl: On April 29, 2025, Terra Innovatum Global was formed with the
same ownership structure as Terra.

ownership interests in Terra to Terra Innovatum Global, resulting in Terra becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Terra Innovatum Global.
Merger
Following the Merger, Terra
Innovatum Global was converted from an Italian limited liability company into a Dutch public limited company, Terra Innovatum N.V. and
GSR III merged with and into GSR III Cayman Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary, with GSR III surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary
of Terra Innovatum Global N.V. whose ordinary shares commenced trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the ticker symbol “NKLR”
on October 10, 2025.
In connection with the Merger,
Terra Innovatum Global N.V.:
● Issued 70,300,948 ordinary shares.
● Received PIPE proceeds totaling $36,790, pursuant to subscription
agreements, consisting of the issuance of 3,683,500 PIPE shares, half warrants to purchase up to 1,841,750 ordinary shares at an exercise
price of $12.00 per share, and quarter warrants to purchase up to 920,875 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $16.00 per share. Additionally,
converted $5,690 in bridge loans into 851,483 ordinary shares at a conversion price of $7.00 per share.

Conversion of Bridge Loans
Upon the closing of the Merger,
all outstanding bridge loans were converted into an aggregate of 851,483 ordinary shares of Terra Innovatum Global N.V. at a conversion

● Warrants to purchase up to 851,483 ordinary shares at an
exercise price of $11.50 per share; and
● Warrants to purchase up to 851,483 ordinary shares at an
exercise price of $15.00 per share.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Critical Accounting Policy: Warrants
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. In connection with our financing activities, we have entered into bridge loan agreements that include detachable warrants.
The accounting treatment for these instruments is governed by ASC 480-10 (Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity) and ASC 815-40 (Contracts
in an Entity’s Own Equity). Based on the terms of the instruments, we first determine whether the warrants should be classified
as equity or liability. Warrants that do not meet all criteria for equity classification are initially recorded at fair value, classified
as a liability and subsequently remeasured at each reporting period. Warrants that meet all equity classification criteria are recorded
at their initial fair value and recognized as a component of additional paid-in capital. This accounting policy is considered critical
due to the complexity of the applicable guidance, the judgment required in classification, and the potential for material impact on our
financial statements.
Critical Accounting Estimate: Fair Value of Warrants
The valuation of both equity-classified and liability-classified
warrants involves significant estimation uncertainty. We use option pricing models that require management to make assumptions about key
inputs, including expected volatility, risk-free interest rates, term to expiration, and the fair value of the underlying equity. These
inputs are inherently subjective and difficult to predict, and even small changes in any of them can materially affect the resulting fair
value. The estimation process is particularly sensitive to market conditions and company-specific developments. For example, the resolution
of funding thresholds in June 2025 required a final fair value measurement and reclassification of certain warrants, which impacted earnings.
We continuously evaluate these assumptions, and changes in inputs or classification could materially affect our financial condition and
results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements
(as that term is defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K) that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect
on our financial condition, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.
