ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision
and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.
The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended ( “Exchange Act” ), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure
controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management,
including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of certain material weaknesses in our
internal control over financial reporting, as further described below.
(b) Management’s Report on Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and
other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Our internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of our company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and that receipts and
expenditures of our company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of our company; and (iii)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets
that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework (or “COSO Framework” ). Based
on its evaluation, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2025 due to the existence of four material weaknesses, described further below. A material weakness, as defined under standards established
by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 2, is a control deficiency, or a combination of control
deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements would
not be prevented or detected. We describe the material weaknesses in the following section.
Pursuant to Regulation S-K Item 308(b), this
Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our company’s registered public accounting firm regarding
internal control over financial reporting.
55
(c) Material Weakness in Internal Controls
Over Financial Reporting
We did not maintain effective
internal controls over financial reporting, based on the criteria established in the COSO Framework, which resulted in deficiencies in
principles associated with the control environment and its ongoing evaluation by management. These c ontrol
deficiencies constituted material weaknesses, either individually or in the aggregate, relating to:
● The lack of sufficient Sarbanes-Oxley control environment, including: (i) insufficient structured reporting to our Board of
Directors and Audit Committee on the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting; (ii) the
organization has not attracted, developed, or retained personnel with the competence required to design and execute SOX-compliant
controls, including the competence to scope, review and challenge the work of the external accounting valuation and tax specialists
on which it relies; (iii) organizational structures, reporting lines and authorities for the financial reporting function have not
been formally defined, which is the structural driver of the segregation of duties condition; and (iv) no individual has been
formally designated as accountable for our Sarbanes-Oxley compliance program.
● Following completion of our de-SPAC transaction we did not perform
a formal assessment of the impact of this change on our internal control environment. As a result: (i) financial reporting objectives
have not been defined in the context of public company obligations; (ii) risks to achieving those objectives have not been formally identified
or assessed; (iii) no fraud risk assessment has been performed,; (iv) accountability for the risk-assessment process has not been assigned;
and (v) no evaluation was performed to assess the delta between our existing control environment and the requirements of a SEC registrant.
●
Our failure to uplift our internal controls following our de-SPAC transaction. Specifically: (i) key controls lack documented evidence of review sufficient for audit purposes; (ii) data used in controls has not been validated for completeness and accuracy; (iii) third-party data is relied upon without evaluation of service organization controls or mapping of complementary user entity controls, and reliance on external specialists engaged for complex accounting, valuation and tax matters is not subject to structured internal review and challenge; (iv) no formal SOX policies or procedures have been documented; and (v) IT General Controls have not been scoped or evaluated.
● We do not have a monitoring program to assess whether internal controls
over financial reporting are present and operating effectively on an ongoing basis.
The material weakness resulted in errors, which were identified and corrected during the audit. These material weaknesses created a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not have been prevented or detected on a
timely basis as of December 31, 2025.
Management has developed a plan to remediate the
identified material weaknesses, and we expect to begin implementing these remediation efforts in 2026 and to include the following measures:
● designating
a Sarbanes-Oxley compliance program owner;
● engaging
external Sarbanes-Oxley advisors to provide training and advisory support;
● evaluating
the need for additional qualified finance headcount;
● establishing
audit committee reporting on internal control status;
● performing
a formal de-SPAC transition impact assessment on internal controls, including documenting
the gap between current-state controls and SOX requirements as the baseline for the remediation
roadmap;
● performing
a formal fraud risk assessment over financial reporting and reporting the results to the
Audit Committee;
● developing
SOX policies and procedures and control templates;
● implementing
data validation protocols for all control inputs;
● obtaining
and reviewing SOC-1 reports for key third-party vendors and completing CUEC mapping; and
● scoping
and commencing an IT general controls assessment with support from an IT audit specialist.
(c)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the identification of the material
weaknesses above, there were no changes during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, in our internal control over financial reporting
that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Family Relationships
Our Chief Business Officer, Giordano Morichi,
is the son of our Chief Executive Officer, Massimo Morichi. Other than this, there are no other family relationships between or among
any of the persons who will serve as directors or executive officers of Terra.
Dutch Corporate Governance Code
Since Terra qualifies as a listed Dutch public
limited liability company ( naamloze vennootschap ), Terra is subject to the Dutch Corporate Governance Code (the “ DCGC ” ).
The DCGC contains both principles and best practice provisions on corporate governance that regulate relations between the board of directors
and the general meeting and matters in respect of financial reporting, auditors, disclosure, compliance and enforcement standards. The
DCGC is based on a “comply or explain” principle. Accordingly, Terra is required to disclose in its statutory board report,
filed in the Netherlands, whether it complies with the provisions of the DCGC. If Terra does not comply with these provisions, Terra is
required to give the reasons for such non-compliance.
Diversity and Director and Officer Qualifications
Terra has not formally established any specific,
minimum qualifications that must be met by each of its directors. However, Terra generally evaluates the following qualities: educational
background, diversity of professional experience, including whether the person is a current or was a former chief executive officer or
chief financial officer of a public company or the head of a division of a prominent international organization, knowledge of Terra’s
business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and ability to represent the best interests of Terra’s shareholders.
Furthermore, from the moment Terra qualifies as
a so-called “large company” under Dutch law, it will be subject to the gender diversity target regime. Under this target regime
Terra would have to set appropriate and ambitious targets — which should take the form of target ratios — to
bring about a more balanced ratio of men to women with regard to its directors. A Dutch company qualifies as large, if it meets at least
two of the following three criteria on at least two successive balance sheet dates: (a) the value of the total assets (based on its
balance sheet and explanatory notes) on the basis of historical cost (acquisition and production cost) exceeds EUR 25 million, (b) the
net turnover for the financial year exceeds EUR 50 million and (c) the average number of employees is 250 or more.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of
the Board of Directors has adopted policies regarding director qualification requirements (including a diversity policy) and the process
for identifying and evaluating director candidates for adoption by the Board of Directors.
Board Regulations
The Board of Directors has adopted written rules
and regulations dealing with, inter alia , its internal organization, the manner in which decisions are taken, any quorum requirements,
the composition, duties and organization of its committees and any other matters concerning the Board of Directors, the executive directors,
the non-executive directors and committees established by the Board of Directors.
Board Meetings and Committees
During our last fiscal year, each of our directors
attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of Board meetings and (ii) the total number of meetings of the committees
on which the director served.
60
Independent Directors
In connection with the Business Combination, the
Terra Ordinary Shares were listed on Nasdaq. Under the rules of Nasdaq, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s
board of directors. In addition, the rules of Nasdaq require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s
audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent. Under the rules of Nasdaq, a director will only
qualify as an “independent director” if in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have
a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Audit
committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and
the rules of Nasdaq. Remuneration committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10C-1
under the Exchange Act and the rules of Nasdaq. Due to the resignation of one of its independent Non-Executive Directors on November
7, 2025 for personal reasons and following the appointment of Ms. Williams as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Terra currently
is not in compliance with the majority independent board requirement but will resolve the noncompliance through the addition of a new
independent Non-Executive Director.
In order to be considered independent for purposes
of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of Nasdaq, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may
not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee: (a) accept,
directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (b) be
an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.
To be considered independent for purposes of
Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of Nasdaq, the board of directors must affirmatively determine that the
member of the remuneration committee is independent, including a consideration of all factors specifically relevant to determining whether
the director has a relationship to the Company which is material to that director’s ability to be independent from management in
connection with the duties of a remuneration committee member, including, but not limited to:
(i)
the source of compensation of such director, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory
fee paid by the Company to such director; and
(ii)
whether such director is affiliated with the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an affiliate
of a Subsidiary of the Company.
The Board of Directors has undertaken a review
of the independence of each Director and considered whether each Director of Terra has a material relationship with Terra that could compromise
his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Rex Jackson, Michael Howard and Peter
Hastings are considered “independent directors” as defined under the listing requirements and rules of Nasdaq and the applicable
rules of the Exchange Act.
In addition, certain provisions regarding the
independency of non-executive directors apply based on the DCGC. The composition of the non-executive directors is such that the
members are able to operate independently and critically vis-à-vis one another, the executive directors and any particular
interests involved. The composition of the non-executive directors should be such that they are able to operate independently and critically
vis-à-vis one another, the executive directors and any particular interests involved. In order to safeguard the independence
of the non-executive directors, certain independency criteria apply, being in any case that the DCGC stipulates that a majority of the
non-executive directors should be independent within the meaning of the DCGC and that for each shareholder or group of affiliated shareholders
directly or indirectly holding more than 10 per cent of the shares in Terra, there is at most one executive director who can be considered
to be affiliated with or representing them in conformity with the independence rules as included in the DCGC.
Furthermore, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors
should not be a former executive director and should be independent within the meaning of the DCGC.
All of Terra’s Non-Executive Directors,
qualify as independent within the meaning of the DCGC.
61
Committees of the Board of Directors
The standing committees of the Board of Directors
consist of an audit committee (the “ Audit Committee ” ), a remuneration committee (the “ Remuneration
Committee ” ), and a nominating and corporate governance committee (the “ Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee ” ).

financial statements as of April 29, 2025 and for the period beginning April 29, 2025 (inception) and ended April 29, 2025 did not contain
an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles,
except that the report included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern.
During the period beginning April 29, 2025 (inception)
and ended April 29, 2025 and the subsequent interim period through January 15, 2026: (1) there were no “disagreements” (as
defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with MaloneBailey on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MaloneBailey, would have caused
MaloneBailey to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with its reports on the financial statements
for such periods and (2) there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except for
the material weaknesses related to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as described elsewhere in this Annual
Report.
We previously reported the change in accounting
firms on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 21, 2026. We provided MaloneBailey with a copy of the above
disclosures and requested that MaloneBailey furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the foregoing
statements. A copy of MaloneBailey’s letter dated January 21, 2026 was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed
on January 21, 2026.
On January 15, 2026,
the Audit Committee appointed KPMG Accountants N.V. ( “KPMG” ) as its new independent registered public accounting firm.
The Company has authorized MaloneBailey to respond fully to the inquiries of the successor independent registered public accounting firm.
During the two most
recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through January 15, 2026, the Company did not consult with KPMG with respect to
(i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company
that KPMG concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial
reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation
S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K).

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy
The Audit Committee has established a pre-approval
policy and procedures for audit, audit-related and tax services that can be performed by the independent auditors without specific authorization
from the Audit Committee subject to certain restrictions. The policy sets out the specific services pre-approved by the Audit Committee
and the applicable limitations, while ensuring the independence of the independent auditors to audit our financial statements is not
impaired. The pre-approval policy does not include a delegation to management of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities under the
Exchange Act. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Audit Committee pre-approved all audit and permissible non-audit services
provided by our independent auditors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Terra Innovatum Global N.V.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Terra
Innovatum Global N.V. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes
(collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the year ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required
to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform,
an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those
risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Quotaholders and Board of Directors of
Terra Innovatum S.R.L.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet
of Terra Innovatum S.R.L. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, and the related statements of operations and
comprehensive loss, changes in quotaholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively
referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year
then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern Matter
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has
suffered recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations which raises substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Terra Innovatum Global
N.V.
(formerly Terra Innovatum Global Srl.)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands except share and per share amounts)
Note 1. Organization
Organization
Terra Innovatum Global N.V. (the “Company” or “Terra” )
is a Dutch public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) organized under the laws of the Netherlands. The Company is registered
in the Netherlands, and its legal headquarters is in Lucca Italy, San Marco district at Via Matteo Trenta No. 117.
On October 9, 2025, the Company consummated a business combination
with GSR III Acquisition Corp. ( “GSR III” ) pursuant to a Business Combination Agreement dated April 21, 2025, as amended
(the “Business Combination” ) (see Note 2 – Business Combination). As a result of the Business Combination, the
Company became a publicly traded parent company of the combined organization. The Company’s ordinary shares commenced trading on
The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ( “Nasdaq” ) under the symbol “NKLR” on October 10, 2025.
Following the Business Combination, Terra Innovatum Srl. ( “Legacy
Terra” ), the private operating company prior to the Business Combination, continues to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company.
Nature of Operations
The Company is engaged in the development of nuclear energy technology
focused on the design of a micro-modular nuclear reactor known as the SOLO Micro-Modular Nuclear Reactor ( “SOLO” ).
The Company’s activities are currently centered on engineering design, technology validation, regulatory engagement, and supply
chain planning related to the SOLO reactor. The SOLO reactor is designed to generate approximately 1 megawatt electric ( “MWe” )
of baseload power through a gas-cooled system utilizing commercially available low enriched uranium ( “LEU” ). The reactor
design contemplates extended operating cycles, including refueling capabilities, subject to regulatory approval.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company has completed the conceptual and
detailed design phases of the reactor and has validated certain key technological components. The Company has initiated pre-application
engagement with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ( “NRC” ) and is progressing through regulatory and licensing
activities required for future construction and operation. The Company has not yet constructed a commercial reactor and has not generated
revenues from operations. All activities to date relate to research and development and preparation for potential future commercialization.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is an early-stage nuclear energy technology
company and has not generated revenue from its principal activities. The Company’s current activities involve significant risks
and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, its ability to obtain required regulatory approvals for its reactor technology and its
ability to secure additional financing to fund operations through commercialization. The regulatory approval process for nuclear technologies
is complex, time-consuming, and subject to factors beyond the Company’s control. In addition, the Company will require substantial
additional capital to complete development and achieve commercialization, and there can be no assurance that such financing will be available
on acceptable terms, or at all. These factors raise significant risks and uncertainties that could materially impact the Company’s
future operations and financial condition.
Note 2. Business Combination
On April 21, 2025, GSR III, Legacy Terra, Terra Innovatum Global Srl.,
Terra MergerCo, and certain other parties entered into a business combination agreement, as amended (the “Business Combination
Agreement” ). GSR III held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on October 7, 2025 (the “Special Meeting” ),
at which GSR III shareholders approved the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, the business combination was consummated on October 9, 2025
(the “Closing Date,” and such consummation, the “Closing” ).
F- 7
Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring
Prior to the Closing, Legacy Terra completed a series of restructuring
transactions (the “Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring” ) to establish a holding company structure.
On April 29, 2025, Legacy Terra formed Terra Innovatum Global Srl.
with the same quotaholders in the same ownership percentages as Legacy Terra. On June 23, 2025, the quotaholders contributed 100 % of their
respective quotas in Legacy Terra to Terra Innovatum Global Srl (the “Contribution” ), resulting in Legacy Terra becoming
a wholly owned subsidiary of Terra Innovatum Global Srl. Subsequently, Terra Innovatum Global Srl. formed Terra MergerCo ( “MergerCo” )
as a wholly owned subsidiary for the sole purpose of effecting the business combination. On October 7, 2025, Terra Innovatum Global Srl.
completed a cross-border conversion into Terra Innovatum Global N.V., the Company.
In connection with the cross-border
conversion, each issued and outstanding quota of Terra Innovatum Global Srl was converted into:
● 475,000 Terra ordinary shares per quota (the “Common Conversion Ratio” ), and
● 80 Convertible Preferred Shares (the “Convertible Preferred Shares” ) per quota (the “Preferred Conversion Ratio” ).
As a result of the conversion
of 100 quotas at the Common Conversion Ratio, 47,500,000 Terra ordinary shares were issued to former Terra Innovatum Global Srl. quotaholders.
The Terra Pre-Closing Reorganization was accounted for as a transaction
between entities under common control in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ( “ASC” ) 805-50. Accordingly,
assets and liabilities were recorded at historical carrying amounts, no goodwill or gain or loss was recognized. As the reorganization
resulted in a change in the reporting entity, the consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to include the
historical financial results of Legacy Terra, the Company’s predecessor, for all periods presented, as if the current corporate
structure had been in effect since the earliest period presented.
PIPE Financing
In connection with the Business Combination, in September 2025 and
October 2025, GSR III entered into subscription agreements (the “PIPE Subscription Agreements” ) with certain accredited
investors (the “Subscribers” ), pursuant to which GSR III agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement (the “PIPE
Financing” ), Terra ordinary shares (the “PIPE Shares” ) at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per share. In connection
with the PIPE Financing, GSR III also agreed to issue warrants to purchase Terra ordinary shares, consisting of (i) warrants exercisable
at $ 12.00 per share (the “Half Warrants” ), issued at a ratio of one Half Warrant for every two PIPE Shares, and (ii)
warrants exercisable at $ 16.00 per share (the “Quarter Warrants” ), issued at a ratio of one Quarter Warrant for every
four PIPE Shares (together with the Half Warrants, the “PIPE Warrants” ). The PIPE Warrants are exercisable immediately
upon issuance and have a term of five years from the date of issuance. Upon the Closing, the Company assumed GSR III’s rights and
obligations under the PIPE Subscription Agreements and PIPE Warrants.
Closing of the Business
Combination
At the effective time of
the Closing, MergerCo merged with and into GSR III, the separate corporate existence of MergerCo ceased, and GSR III survived the Business
Combination as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Each issued and outstanding GSR III Class A and Class B ordinary share outstanding
immediately prior to the Closing was converted into one Terra ordinary share on a one-for-one basis. In addition, each whole GSR III right
outstanding immediately prior to the Closing automatically converted into one GSR III Class A ordinary share immediately prior to the
Closing, which then converted into one Terra ordinary share at Closing. Certain GSR III public shareholders elected to redeem their shares
for cash in accordance with GSR III’s governing documents.
In connection with the Closing
and related arrangements, the following equity instruments were issued or became issuable:
● 47,500,000 Terra ordinary shares were
issued to former Terra Innovatum Global Srl. quotaholders;
● 21,176,965 Terra ordinary shares were issued to GSR III public shareholders, the sponsor and related parties,
and other investors on a one-for-one basis for GSR III Class A and Class B ordinary shares and exercised rights, net of redemptions;
F- 8
● 549,500 Terra ordinary shares held by the Sponsor (converted from GSR III Class B ordinary shares) became
subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions tied to post-Closing milestones.
● 8,000 Convertible Preferred Shares were issued to former Terra
Innovatum Global Srl. quotaholders, contingently convertible into up to 80,000,000 Terra ordinary shares
subject to market-based, regulatory, and performance-based milestones;
● Pursuant to a financial advisory arrangement, the Company paid Park
Avenue Capital Group Corp. ( “PAC” ) a $ 2,500 cash success fee at Closing and issued to PAC (i) 223,000 Terra ordinary
shares as a success-based fee, (ii) a warrant exercisable for up to 1,000,000 Terra ordinary shares at an exercise price of $ 7.00 per
share, and (iii) 40 Terra Convertible Preferred Shares that are contingently convertible into 400,000 Terra ordinary shares under milestone-based
conditions generally consistent with those applicable to the Convertible Preferred Shares issued to former Terra Innovatum Global Srl.
quotaholders.
● Convertible bridge loans (including principal and accrued interest) outstanding at Closing converted into
851,483 Terra ordinary shares at a conversion price of $ 7.00 per share, and the Company issued
warrants to bridge lenders exercisable at $ 11.50 and $ 15.00 per share with a term of 36 months from the Closing.
Concurrent with the Closing,
the Company entered into a registration rights agreement granting certain holders registration rights with respect to their shares and
other equity securities.
Total proceeds received from the Business Combination
and PIPE Financing, net of redemptions and transaction costs, totaled approximately $ 106,713 . Proceeds from the business combination include
cash acquired from GSR III upon the Closing.
Accounting Treatment
The Business Combination
was accounted for as a recapitalization by way of an asset acquisition in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as management determined that GSR
III did not meet the definition of a business under ASC 805 because its assets consisted primarily of cash and investments held in trust
and it did not have substantive operations.
Terra, which is controlled
by legacy Terra Innovatum Global Srl. quotaholders, has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the following:
● Legacy Terra Innovatum Global Quotaholders held a majority of the voting interest in the Company, with 67.6 % of the voting power held by legacy Terra Innovatum Global Quotaholders at Closing.
● All of the senior management of the Company will come from the senior management of Terra Innovatum.
●
Terra Innovatum will appoint a majority of the directors to the Board of Directors.
● The intended strategy of the Company will be to continue to focus on Terra Innovatum’s core service
offerings.
Accordingly, the transaction
was treated as the equivalent of Terra issuing equity interests in exchange for the net monetary assets of GSR III, with the net assets
of GSR III recorded at their historical carrying values, which approximate fair value, and no goodwill or other intangible assets recognized.
Accordingly, the consolidated
assets, liabilities, and results of operations presented are those of the Company, and the shares and corresponding per-share amounts
(including loss per share) for all prior periods have been retroactively restated to reflect the share exchanges and recapitalization
described above.

the Vesting Sponsor Shares are not considered outstanding for accounting purposes until the applicable vesting conditions are satisfied.
Note 3. Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles ( “US GAAP” ) and applicable rules
and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ( “SEC” ). Any reference in these notes to applicable
guidance is meant to refer to U.S. GAAP, as found in the ASC and Accounting Standards Updates ( “ASUs” ) of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ( “FASB” ). The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Terra
Innovatum Global N.V. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis based on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents of $ 102,882 as of December
31, 2025 and the Company’s budgeted cash flows for the twelve months following the issuance date of June 15, 2026.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company
are presented in U.S. dollars and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company determines whether to consolidate an entity based on whether
it has a controlling financial interest under ASC Topic 810, Consolidation ( “ASC 810” ). A controlling financial
interest may be established through either (i) the variable interest entity ( “VIE” ) model or (ii) voting interest model
( “VOE” ).
Under the VIE model, an entity is considered a
VIE if, among other factors, (i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without
additional subordinated financial support, (ii) the equity holders lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, or (iii)
voting rights are not substantive. The Company consolidates a VIE if it is the primary beneficiary, defined as the party that both (i)
has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) has the obligation
to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant.
F- 10
If an entity does not meet the definition of a
VIE, the Company evaluates consolidation under the voting interest model. Under this model, the Company consolidates entities in which
it has a controlling financial interest, generally evidenced by ownership of a majority of the voting interests. The Company has evaluated
its legal entities under ASC 810-10-15-14 and determined that none meet the definition of a VIE. Accordingly, the Company applies the
voting interest model and consolidates its subsidiaries based on its controlling financial interest, which is evidenced by 100 % ownership
of the voting interests.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses,
and disclosures of contingencies. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the fair value of share-settled contingent liabilities,
equity-based compensation, warrant valuations, PIPE Financing valuation, useful lives of long-lived assets, and deferred tax assets and
related valuation allowances. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
and Transaction Gains and Losses
The Company’s reporting currency is the United States Dollar
( “$” ), while its functional currency is the Euro ( “€” ), which it uses for conducting business
and maintaining its books and records. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in US$.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are remeasured at period-end exchange rates, and resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in earnings.
For such monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the Company has elected to present foreign exchange gains and
losses arising from remeasurement within the same line item as the change in fair value of the underlying instruments in the consolidated
statements of operations, as such amounts are considered an integral component of the overall fair value measurement. For other monetary
assets and liabilities not measured at fair value, foreign exchange gains and losses are presented within other income (expense), net
in the consolidated statements of operations.
In accordance with ASC 830-30, Translation of Financial Statements ,
the Company and its subsidiary, Terra Innovatum Srl., translate their assets and liabilities from their functional currency into US$ using
the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the reporting period.
Translation gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income ( “AOCI” )
within the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit.
Cash flows are translated at
average exchange rates for the reporting period. As a result, the amounts presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows may not
directly reconcile with the corresponding changes in balances reported on the balance sheets.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, net foreign currency
transaction losses recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, primarily from remeasurement of monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, totaled approximately $ 1 and are included
in other expense, net.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly
liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents
are stated at cost, which approximates market value, because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company had $ 102,882 and
$ 69 in cash as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 and
2024.
Other income – Related
party
Other income generated from engineering consulting
services provided to related parties that are unrelated to the Company’s core business. This income is recognized as the related
performance obligations are satisfied.
F- 11
General and Administrative
Costs
General and administrative
costs include personnel-related expenses, director and contractor compensation, professional and consulting fees, software subscription
and IT costs, office rent, vehicle rentals, and other facility-related expenses, insurance, bank charges, travel and lodging, membership
fees, conference and registration costs, advertising and corporate representation costs, taxes and duties, and other governmental fees,
depreciation of computer equipment, licenses, trademarks, capitalized development amortization, as well as stock-based compensation. General
and administrative costs also include expenses recognized based on the underlying terms of each agreement, whereby milestone-based obligations
are recorded when the related milestone is achieved, recurring service arrangements are recognized over time as services are received,
and one-time deliverables are expensed at the point in time the service or deliverable is provided.
Development Costs
Development costs represent costs incurred to
design and engineer SOLO. These costs include personnel-related expenses (such as salaries, employee benefits and bonuses), software and
computing costs, hardware and experimental supplies, and fees for outside engineering, analytical, and consulting services.
Prepaid Expenses and Other
Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other
current assets primarily consist of amounts paid in advance for goods or services to be consumed in future periods and other assets expected
to be realized within one year. Prepaid expenses are recorded when paid and are expensed on a straight-line or usage-based basis over
the periods in which the related benefits are received, in accordance with ASC 340.
Equipment
The Company’s fixed
assets are comprised of computer equipment. Computer equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. The Company capitalizes
purchases of computer equipment that exceed its capitalization threshold and have a useful life of greater than one year. Depreciation
is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. For computer equipment, the Company has determined
a useful life of 6 years. Depreciation expense is recognized beginning in the month the asset is placed into service. Maintenance and
repairs are expensed as incurred, while improvements that extend the useful life or enhance the functionality of the equipment are capitalized.
Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any
resulting gain or loss is recognized in the period of disposal.
Leases
The Company applies ASC 842
to all lease arrangements. The Company’s office leases qualify as short-term leases (terms of 12 months or less), for which the
Company elected the short-term lease exemption. Accordingly, no right-of-use asset or lease liability is recognized. Lease expense for
short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company measures certain
financial assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with ASC 820. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be
determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions,
the Company uses a three-level hierarchy, which prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various
valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach). The levels of hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 —
Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
Level 2 —
Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
Level 3 —
Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The Company’s assessment
of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific
to the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the most stringent level of input
that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Warrants and Derivative
Instruments
The Company evaluates warrants and other equity-linked
financial instruments, including contingently issuable warrants, under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in an Entity’s
Own Equity , and ASC 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity , to determine appropriate classification and subsequent
measurement.
F- 12
Instruments that meet the conditions for equity
classification under ASC 815-40 (including being indexed to the Company’s own stock and requiring physical or net share settlement
with no provisions that could require cash settlement outside the Company’s control) are classified in equity at issuance and are
not subsequently remeasured.
Instruments that do not meet the equity-classification
conditions under ASC 815-40 or that otherwise meet liability-classification criteria under ASC 480-10 are classified as liabilities. Such
instruments are initially measured at fair value and subsequently remeasured at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized
in earnings.
In accordance with ASC 815-40, equity-linked instruments
that are contingently issuable, exercisable, or settleable are considered issued for accounting purposes when an enforceable contract
or arrangement exists, regardless of whether the contingencies have been resolved. Accordingly, contingently issuable warrants entered
into prior to the consummation of a business combination (including warrants issuable upon the completion of a de-SPAC transaction) are
recognized prior to the de-SPAC, provided that the counterparty has delivered consideration or performed under the arrangement.
Contingently issuable warrants are evaluated at
inception to determine whether they qualify for equity classification or represent liability-classified equity-linked instruments prior
to resolution of the contingency. Liability-classified contingent warrants are initially measured at fair value on the issuance date and
subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings, until the contingency
is resolved or equity classification becomes appropriate.
Upon resolution of a contingency for instruments
that qualify for equity classification, any previously liability-classified warrants are reclassified to equity at their fair value on
the resolution date and are not remeasured thereafter.
The Company also evaluates whether warrants or
other equity-linked instruments contain foreign-currency-denominated exercise prices or other cross-currency features. Instruments that
are not indexed to the Company’s functional currency, as determined under ASC 815-40, are classified as liabilities and measured
at fair value, with changes recognized in earnings.
Share-settled Contingent
Liability
The Company enters into arrangements that require
settlement through the issuance of its ordinary shares upon the occurrence of specified contingent events. The Company evaluates such
arrangements to determine the appropriate classification as either a liability or equity in accordance with ASC 480-10, Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. An obligation is classified as a liability when the arrangement
requires settlement for a fixed or determinable monetary amount through the issuance of a variable number of shares or otherwise does
not meet the criteria for equity classification.
Share-settled contingent liabilities are initially
recorded at fair value and subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value including the effect
of foreign exchange translation, recognized in “change in fair value – share settled contingent liability” in the consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive income. The liability is derecognized upon settlement or extinguishment of the underlying obligation.
The determination of fair
value requires management judgment and the use of significant estimates, including assumptions regarding the expected term of the contingent
obligation (i.e., the estimated period until the contingency is resolved or the award settles), the Company’s stock-price volatility
over that expected term, the probability of achieving any relevant performance or market conditions, and appropriate discount rates. Expected
term is based on the contractual term of the arrangement, adjusted as necessary for management’s expectations about the timing of
settlement events.
Convertible Preferred
Shares
Preferred shares that contain
settlement features not solely indexed to the Company’s own stock, or that may require issuing a variable number of ordinary shares,
are classified as liabilities and remeasured at fair value each period. Preferred shares that require or permit settlement solely in equity
instruments and meet equity classification criteria are recorded in permanent equity.
Debt Instruments
The Company records Bridge Loans (as defined in
Note 7 – Bridge Loans) and other debt instruments at amortized cost in accordance with ASC 470, Debt . Debt is initially recognized
net of original issue discounts and debt issuance costs, which are amortized using the effective interest method over the contractual
term. PIK interest is accrued as incurred, added to the principal balance, and recognized in interest expense.
Upon conversion of debt into
equity pursuant to the contractual terms (e.g., at the closing of a business combination), the carrying amount of the debt—including
principal, accrued PIK interest, and unamortized discounts and issuance costs—is derecognized and reclassified to equity, and no
gain or loss is recognized, consistent with ASC 470-20-40-4.
F- 13
Equity-based Compensation
The Company accounts for
equity-based awards granted to employees, directors, and nonemployees in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. Equity-based
awards are measured at their grant-date fair value and recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period. Fair value is
determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the Monte Carlo valuation model, or other appropriate valuation techniques depending
on terms of the award.
Employee and Director
Awards
Equity-based awards granted
to employees and directors that contain service conditions are recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period using
either a straight-line or graded vesting attribution method, based on the terms of the award. For employee and director awards with cliff-vesting
provisions, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
Nonemployee Awards
Equity-based awards granted to nonemployees are
accounted for on the same measurement basis as employee awards and are measured at grant-date fair value once the performance or service
criteria for grant-date classification are met. However, compensation cost for nonemployee awards is recognized over the period in which
the goods or services are provided, using an attribution method consistent with the pattern in which the related goods or services are
received, as if the Company had paid cash for those goods or services. The Company applies judgment in determining the appropriate attribution
method for nonemployee awards, and the straight-line or graded vesting attribution election applicable to employee awards does not apply
to nonemployee awards.
The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
The Company determines the
grant date fair value of nonemployee awards using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that requires management to make assumptions and
judgments including, but not limited to the following:
● Expected
term: The estimate of the expected term of awards is determined in accordance with the simplified method which estimates the term based
on an averaging of the vesting period and contractual term of the option grant for employee awards. The Company uses the contractual
term for non-employee awards.
● Expected
volatility. The Company determines the expected volatility by weighing the historical average volatilities of publicly traded industry
peers and its own trading history. The Company intends to continue to consistently apply this methodology using the same or similar public
companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of the Company’s own common share price becomes
available, unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to the Company, in which case more suitable
company stock prices that are publicly available would be utilized in the calculation.
● Risk-free
interest rate: The risk-free interest rate used to value nonemployee awards is based on the United States Treasury yield in effect at
the time of grant for a period consistent with the expected term of the award.
● Dividend
yield: The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not presently plan to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable
future.
● Forfeiture
rate: Stock-based compensation expense is reduced for forfeitures only when they occur.
● Fair
value of Common Stock: The closing price of the Company’s common shares on Nasdaq is used as the fair value of the common shares.
Related Party Transactions
Transactions with related
parties are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount established and agreed to by the related parties. The Company discloses
material related-party transactions, including loans, engineering agreements, leases, and service arrangements. Related-party transactions
are reviewed by management for reasonableness; however, such transactions may not be conducted at terms equivalent to those that prevail
in arm’s-length transactions.
Concentration of Credit
and Supplier Risk
The Company maintains cash
deposits with financial institutions that may exceed federally insured limits. The Company is also dependent on a limited number of specialized
engineering and nuclear-technology vendors. The loss of any such vendor could have a material impact on operations.
F- 14
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company records a liability
for loss contingencies when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. Gain contingencies are
recognized only when realized.
Comprehensive Income
ASC 220, Comprehensive
Income , establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income or loss, its components and accumulated balances.
Comprehensive income or loss as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive
(loss) income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit, consists of changes
in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation.
Net Income (Loss) Per
Share
Basic net income (loss) per
share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if potential ordinary shares were
issued and is computed in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share . Potential ordinary shares may include, among others,
contingently issuable shares and warrants evaluated under the treasury stock method, if dilutive.
Segments
The Company operates and manages its business as a single operating
segment. Operating segments are identified based on the information reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker ( “CODM” )
for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. The Company has determined that its chief executive officer and founding
officers, acting collectively, constitute the CODM.
The CODM reviews financial
information on a consolidated basis, including consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets, cash flows, and key expense metrics,
such as general and administrative expenses and development costs. Discrete financial information is not prepared or reviewed by product
line, function, or geographic area. As a result, the Company has one operating segment, which is also its single reportable segment.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability
method in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes ( “ASC 740” ). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and
the tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in enacted tax rates is recognized in income
in the period that includes the enactment date (ASC 740-10-45-15).
The Company provides a valuation allowance when it believes that its
deferred tax assets are not recoverable based on an assessment of estimated future taxable income that incorporates ongoing, prudent and
feasible tax-planning strategies, that would be implemented, if necessary, to realize the deferred tax assets. Amounts recorded for valuation
allowances require judgments about future income which can depend heavily on estimates and assumptions. All deferred tax assets and liabilities
within the same tax jurisdiction are presented as a net amount in the noncurrent deferred tax assets or noncurrent deferred tax liabilities
sections of our consolidated balance sheet.
The Company applies the recognition and measurement
provisions of ASC 740-10-25 with respect to uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit is recognized only when it is more likely than not
(a likelihood of more than 50%) that the position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority based on its technical
merits. The amount of tax benefit recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate
settlement.
Classification of interest and penalties (ASC
740-10-45-25). The Company has elected to classify interest accrued on underpayments of income taxes and penalties related to uncertain
tax positions as a component of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Accrued interest
and penalties are included within income taxes payable (or other non-current tax liabilities, as applicable) on the consolidated balance
sheet. This policy is applied consistently across all jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
Emerging Growth Company
Status
The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart
Our Business Startups Act of 2012 ( “the JOBS Act” ). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay
adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply
to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards
that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging
growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act.
As a result, these consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting
pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ( “ASU” )
No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires, among other things: (i) a disaggregated
effective tax rate reconciliation using both percentages and reporting currency amounts, with separate disclosure of items meeting or
exceeding a 5 % threshold; and (ii) disaggregated income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for the annual period
ending December 31, 2025, on a prospective basis in accordance with ASC 740-10-65-9. The adoption affected only the Company’s income tax
disclosures and had no impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income
Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement
Expenses. Subsequently, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of this
guidance . ASU 2024-03 requires enhanced disclosure regarding specific expense categories, such as inventory costs, employee
compensation, and depreciation, within the notes to the financial statements. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods
in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption
permitted. The guidance allows for either prospective or retrospective application. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement
to have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the
FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivative
Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract (ASU 2025-07),
which refines the scope of Topic 815 by clarifying which contracts are subject to derivative accounting and expands the scope exception
for certain contracts not traded on an exchange to include contracts for which settlement is based on operations or activities specific
to one of the parties to the contract. The guidance also provides clarification under Topic 606 for share-based payments from a customer
in a revenue contract. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those
annual reporting periods. Early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this pronouncement,
if any.

Related Party Loan
During
2024 and 2025, the Company entered into two interest free- loan agreements with Legacy Terra quotaholders (related parties),
consisting of (i) an agreement executed in 2024 for approximately $ 216 (the “2024 Loan Agreement” ), which was
fully funded by March 31, 2025, and (ii) an agreement executed on March 21, 2025 for $ 74 (the “2025 Loan
Agreement” ), which was funded through April 10, 2025. Both loans were unsecured and scheduled to mature on December 31,
2040, with automatic annual extensions permitted through December 31, 2045, unless earlier repayment was requested by the Legacy
Terra quotaholders. The loans were issued at par with no fees or discounts and do not include any rights or preferences that would
affect the economics of the arrangement; accordingly, the terms were negotiated directly with related parties and were not intended
to reflect market-based pricing.
Based on the contractual
terms of the arrangements, no interest was imputed on either loan. The loans were repaid in full upon the Closing of the Business Combination
(see Note 2 – Business Combination), and no amounts were outstanding as of December 31, 2025.

Note 7. Bridge Loans
Issuance and Terms (Pre-Business
Combination)
During May, June, August and September 2025, Terra Innovatum Global
Srl. entered into unsecured note subscription agreements (the “Bridge Loans” ) with multiple lenders for aggregate gross
proceeds of $ 5,690 . The Bridge Loans bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 15 %, payable-in-kind- ( “PIK” ) on the outstanding
principal, and mature one year from their issuance dates. The Bridge Loans provided for mandatory early redemption upon consummation of
a qualifying business combination. A portion of the Bridge Loans was issued to certain related parties. A portion of the Bridge Loans
totaling $ 690 in aggregate principal was issued to certain employees of GSR III who were related parties prior to the Business Combination.
Bridge Loans issued to related parties were on the same terms and conditions as those issued to third-party lenders.
The Company incurred a total debt discount of $ 4,318 for the Bridge
Loans as a result of the allocation of proceeds to the warrants that were to be issued following consummation of the Merger, and incurred
total debt issuance costs of $ 14 which were amortized over the term of the loans using the effective interest method or the straight-line
method, applicable. Interest expense, including expense related to PIK interest of $ 251 and amortization of debt discount of $ 1,198 offset
by approximately $ 23 related to foreign exchange differences, for the year ended December 31, 2025 totaled $ 1,426 .
In 2025, Terra Innovatum Global Srl. executed letter agreements providing
that, upon completion of the Business Combination, all outstanding principal and accrued PIK interest would automatically convert into
ordinary shares at a fixed price of $ 7.00 per share (the “Bridge Loan Conversion” ). If the Business Combination did
not occur by April 30, 2026, the conversion price would be based on a valuation of $ 100,000 divided by the fully diluted equity of Terra
Innovatum Global Srl. The agreements also provided lenders a liquidation preference on shares received upon conversion, which terminated
upon consummation of the Business Combination.
August and September 2025
Amendments (Pre-Business Combination)
In August 2025, the Bridge Loan agreements were amended to (i) limit the liquidation preference to apply only upon termination of the
Business Combination, (ii) define the coverage amount as 100 % of the total number of shares issued upon conversion, and (iii) require
the Company, upon a successful business combination, to issue two sets of warrants to the lenders, with exercise prices of $ 11.50 and
$ 15.00 per share, each exercisable for 36 months and with no anti-dilution provisions. In addition, lenders were entitled to a 3 % PIPE
fundraising commission, payable in cash or ordinary shares.
Pre-Closing Accounting
Prior to Closing, the Bridge Loans and related
terms were recognized by Terra Innovatum Srl. and are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the periods
presented prior to the Business Combination. The Company recorded (i) 15 % PIK interest as interest expense, (ii) amortization of debt
discounts and issuance costs using the effective interest method or the straight-line method, as applicable, and (iii) changes in fair
value in other income (expense). See Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements for valuation information and Note 2 - Business Combination
regarding the accounting acquirer and transaction structure.
In connection with the Bridge
Loans, the Company issued warrants to the lenders (see Note 9 — Warrants). The warrants were classified as liabilities and recorded
at fair value. As the fair value of the warrant liabilities exceeded the aggregate proceeds received, certain proceeds were allocated
to the warrant liabilities, resulting in the Bridge Loans being recorded at an initial carrying value of zero and a day-one loss of $ 1,363
recognized in other income (expense).
Conversion and Warrants
Issued at Closing
Upon the Closing of the Business Combination on
October 9, 2025, all outstanding principal, unamortized debt issuance cost and accrued PIK interest under the Bridge Loans automatically
converted into 851,483 ordinary shares at $ 7.00 per share. In connection with the conversion, the Company issued warrants to purchase
up to 851,483 ordinary shares at $ 11.50 per share and up to 851,483 ordinary shares at $ 15.00 per share, each exercisable for 36 months
from Closing (see Note 9 – Warrants for more information). As a result of the conversion on October 9, 2025, no Bridge Loans remained
outstanding as of December 31, 2025.
Note 8. Fair Value Measurements
Financial Instruments
Not Recorded at Fair Value
Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value
of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, and other current assets, accounts receivable, accounts payable, Related party loan,
non-current, and other non-current liabilities approximate fair value.
F- 18
Financial Instruments Recorded
at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Share-settled Contingent
Liability
As discussed in Note 2 – Business
Combination and Note 10 – Shareholders’ Deficit, at Closing the Company entered into share-settled arrangements involving
(i) contingently Convertible Preferred Shares issued to former Terra Innovatum Global Srl. quotaholders and (ii) contingently vesting
Sponsor ordinary shares subject to market-based and regulatory milestones. These arrangements may result in the issuance or vesting of
a variable number of ordinary shares and are not solely indexed to the Company’s stock. As a result, they were initially classified
and measured as liabilities at fair value, with the related amounts recorded within share-settled contingent liability in the consolidated
balance sheet.
On October 16, 2025, certain milestones were achieved,
resulting in the settlement of a portion of these arrangements. Immediately prior to settlement, the corresponding share-settled contingent
liability was remeasured to fair value, and the resulting change in fair value was recognized in change in fair value – share-settled
contingent liability. Upon settlement, the related liability was reclassified to equity.
As of December 31, 2025,
unearned milestone tranches remain classified as share-settled contingent liabilities and are remeasured at fair value at each reporting
date, with changes recognized in earnings until the applicable milestones are achieved or expire.
The following tables provide
a summary of changes in the estimated fair value of the Share-Settled Contingent Liability using significant Level 3 inputs:
Balance - January 1, 2025

The Company estimated the
fair value of the Share-Settled Contingent Liability using the Monte Carlo option pricing model with the following inputs:
Weighted average expected term (years)
6.8
Weighted average expected volatility
125.0 %
Risk-free interest rate
3.41 - 4.67 %
Dividend yield
0 %
The fair value measurement of the Share-settled
Contingent Liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.
The valuation is sensitive to changes in expected volatility and the probability-weighted outcomes associated with achieving the applicable
market-based and regulatory milestones, such that increases in these assumptions would generally result in a higher fair value measurement
and decreases would result in a lower fair value measurement. Certain unobservable inputs are interrelated, and changes in one assumption
may magnify or mitigate the effects of changes in other assumptions. Changes in these unobservable inputs are subject to estimation uncertainty,
and reasonably different assumptions could have resulted in a materially different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
Liability Classified
Warrants
The
warrants issued to the PIPE Investor and Bridge Loan lenders in connection with the Merger are accounted for as liabilities in accordance
with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Warrant liabilities are measured at fair
value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in
the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
The
fair value of the liability-classified warrants is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which considers the probability-weighted
outcomes of future share price paths. Significant inputs used in the valuation include the Company’s share price at the valuation
date, expected share price volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected term of the warrants, and expected dividend yield.
Because
the valuation relies on significant unobservable inputs, the liability-classified warrants are classified within Level 3 of the fair value
hierarchy.
F- 19
The valuation of the liability-classified
warrants is sensitive to changes in key unobservable inputs, particularly expected share price volatility and the probability-weighted
outcomes of future share price paths. Increases in expected volatility would generally result in a higher fair value measurement, while
decreases would result in a lower fair value. Additionally, changes in assumptions regarding the
Company’s expected share price performance could materially affect the estimated fair value. Although management believes the assumptions
used are reasonable and consistent with available market information, different assumptions could have resulted in a materially different
fair value measurement at the reporting date.
The
following table summarizes the significant assumptions used in the valuation of the liability-classified warrants as of December 31, 2025:

Note 9. Warrants
Equity Classified Warrants
– Advisor Warrant
As discussed in Note 2 – Business Combination, in connection
with the Closing of the Business Combination on October 9, 2025 (the “Closing Date” ), the Company issued a warrant
to Park Avenue Capital Group Corp. ( “PAC” ) pursuant to a financial advisory arrangement entered into in connection
with the Business Combination.
The warrant entitles PAC to purchase up to 1,000,000 Terra ordinary
shares at an exercise price of $ 7.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Advisor Warrant” ). The Advisor Warrant
became exercisable upon issuance and has a term of five years from the Closing Date, unless earlier exercised in accordance with its terms.
The Advisor Warrant may be exercised for cash at the holder’s option. The Company is not required to net cash settle the Advisor
Warrant.
The Advisor Warrant was issued in exchange for advisory services provided
in connection with the Business Combination and is accounted for as an equity-classified share-based payment award under ASC 718. The
grant date for accounting purposes was the Closing Date. The fair value of the Advisor Warrant was measured on the grant date and recognized
$ 12,101 of stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, with a corresponding
increase to additional paid-in capital in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Advisor Warrant was determined
using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Significant assumptions considered in the valuation included expected term, expected volatility,
risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield.
Liability Classified
Warrants – PIPE Warrants
In connection with the PIPE Financing, the Company
issued the PIPE Warrants to certain investors pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements. The terms of the PIPE Warrants, including
the exercise prices, issuance ratios, and contractual term, are described in Note 2 – Business Combination.
Management evaluated the PIPE Warrants under ASC
815-40 and determined that the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification because the exercise price is denominated in
a currency other than the Company’s functional currency. As a result, the warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s
own stock under the fixed-for-fixed criterion. Accordingly, the PIPE Warrants are classified as liabilities in the consolidated balance
sheet.
At issuance, proceeds from the PIPE Financing
were allocated to the PIPE Warrants based on their fair values, with the residual amount allocated to the PIPE Shares. The PIPE Warrants
were initially recorded at fair value on the Closing Date and are subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting date .
Changes in fair value of
the PIPE Warrants are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations within change in fair value of warrant liabilities.
F- 20
Liability Classified
Warrants – Bridge Warrants
As discussed in Note 2 – Business Combination,
in connection with the conversion of convertible bridge loans outstanding at Closing, the Company issued warrants to bridge lenders.
The Bridge Warrants are exercisable at $ 11.50
per share and $ 15.00 per share, subject to adjustment, and have a term of 36 months from the Closing Date.
Management evaluated the Bridge Warrants under
ASC 815-40 and determined that the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification because the exercise price is denominated
in a currency that is not the Company’s functional currency. Accordingly, the Bridge Warrants are not considered indexed to the
Company’s own stock and classified as liabilities.
At issuance, proceeds from the bridge financing
were allocated to the Bridge Warrants based on their fair value, with the residual amount allocated to the related financing instruments.
The Bridge Warrants were initially recorded at fair value on the Closing Date and are subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting
date, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Note 10. Shareholder’s
Deficit
Articles of Association
and Corporate Structure
The Company was incorporated in the Netherlands and adopted its Articles
of Association ( “AOA” ) on October 6, 2025 in connection with the execution of the notarial deed effecting its cross-border
conversion and amendment of its governance documents. The conversion became effective on October 7, 2025. The AOA established, among others,
the Company’s capital structure, shareholder rights, dividend provisions, and governance framework.
Under the AOA, the Company
is authorized to issue 500,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of € 0.01 per share and 8,040 Convertible Preferred Shares with
a par value of € 100 per share.
Ordinary Shares
Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to one
vote per share on matters submitted to a shareholder vote, and are entitled to receive dividends when, as, and if declared by the Company’s
Board of Directors, after required allocations to the Special Dividend Reserve for Convertible Preferred Shares (as discussed below).
Ordinary shareholders also participate pro rata with Convertible Preferred Share shareholders in the distribution of any residual assets
upon liquidation. Holders of ordinary shares have pre-emptive rights on the issuance of new ordinary shares, except when pre-emptive rights
are limited or excluded pursuant to the provisions of the AOA or for issuances to employees, issuances for non-cash consideration, or
issuances pursuant to previously granted subscription rights. Holders of ordinary shares have no pre-emptive rights on the issuance of
new Convertible Preferred Shares. Ordinary shares are freely transferable and may be pledged, with voting rights generally remaining with
the shareholder unless granted to a pledgee.
F- 21
Vesting Sponsor Shares
As part of the Business Combination, 549,500 ordinary shares issued
to the Sponsor upon conversion of GSR III class B ordinary shares were designated as vesting sponsor shares (the “Vesting Sponsor
Shares” ). These shares carry the same voting, dividend, and liquidation rights as the Company’s other ordinary shares
but are subject to forfeiture until the applicable vesting conditions are met. Under the Sponsor Support Agreement, entered into on April
21, 2025 between GSR III and Terra Innovatum Srl., the Vesting Sponsor Shares vest in four equal 25 % tranches upon achievement of specified
milestones and are subject to the Agreement’s forfeiture, transfer, and voting restrictions. Any unvested shares automatically forfeit
at the end of the applicable conversion periods unless an earlier change of control results in full or partial accelerated vesting based
on the transaction price; additionally, a pro rata portion vests if the Convertible Preferred Shares are converted and distributed. On
October 16, 2025, the conditions for two of the four vesting tranches were satisfied, resulting in the vesting, and issuance of 50 % of
the Vesting Sponsor Shares (approximately 274,750 shares), with the remaining 50 % continuing to be subject to the applicable vesting and
forfeiture provisions. The 274,750 ordinary shares vested are classified in equity in the consolidated balance sheets. The 274,750 ordinary
shares unvested are classified as a liability, in share-settled contingent liability in the consolidated balance sheet.
Convertible Preferred
Shares
Each Convertible Preferred Share carries 10,000 votes at shareholder
meetings and is mandatorily convertible into 10,000 ordinary shares upon satisfaction of the contractual conversion conditions set forth
in the Business Combination Agreement and upon issuance of a conversion confirmation by the Company’s Board of Directors. Conversion
is not at the discretion of the holder and occurs automatically upon satisfaction of the applicable milestone conditions. Convertible
Preferred Shares do not participate in the Company’s general reserves or profits, but instead are entitled solely to allocations
to and distributions from a separate special dividend reserve, which is a dedicated reserve maintained exclusively for the Convertible
Preferred Shares, to which the Company must allocate annual and interim amounts as required by the AOA and from which distributions may
be made only upon a proposal by the Company’s Board of Directors and approval by the Convertible Preferred Share class meeting (the
“Special Dividend Reserve” ). The Board of Directors may determine which part of the profits shall be reserved. The
profits remaining after such reservation, shall first be applied to allocate and add to the Special Dividend Reserve being an amount equal
to 1 % of the aggregate nominal value of all outstanding Convertible Preferred Shares minus any amount that has been added to the Special
Dividend Reserve in connection with an interim distribution made. Convertible Preferred Shares do not carry preemptive rights on issuances
of ordinary- shares, and no shareholders have preemptive rights on issuances of Convertible Preferred Shares. Convertible Preferred Shares
may not be pledged, and voting rights associated with any usufruct on Convertible Preferred Shares must remain with the shareholder. Upon
liquidation, Convertible Preferred Shares participate pro rata with ordinary shares based on the number of shares held. As of December
31, 2025, there were no amounts allocated to the Special Dividend Reserve.
Liability-Classified Convertible
Preferred Shares
In connection with the Business Combination, the
Company issued 8,000 Convertible Preferred Shares to former Terra quotaholders. The Convertible Preferred Shares are mandatorily convertible
into the Company’s ordinary shares upon satisfaction of specified market-based and regulatory milestones, as further described in
Note 2 – Business Combination.
Based on the contingent conversion features and
other terms of the instrument, certain Convertible Preferred Shares are classified as share-settled contingent liabilities and are presented
outside of shareholders’ equity. These instruments are non-derivative financial instruments, and the related accounting, including
initial recognition and subsequent measurement, is described in Note 2 – Business Combination and Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements.
On October 16, 2025, specified milestones were
achieved, and on November 13, 2025 our Board of Directors issued a confirmation statement resulting in the conversion of 4,000 Convertible
Preferred Shares into 40,000,000 ordinary shares. As of December 31, 2025, the remaining 4,000 Convertible Preferred Shares were legally
outstanding and classified as share-settled contingent liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
SPAC Financial Advisor
Equity
At Closing, the Company issued 40 Convertible Preferred Shares to its
financial advisor as consideration for advisory services. The awards represent equity-classified share-based compensation accounted for
under ASC 718 and were measured at grant-date fair value with no subsequent remeasurement. The Company also issued ordinary shares to
its SPAC financial advisor as consideration for advisory services. These awards were accounted for under ASC 718, and the associated grant-date
fair value was recognized as stock-based compensation expense during the period in which the services were rendered. Total compensation
cost recognized related to these arrangements during the year ended December 31, 2025 was approximately $ 6,049 , which includes amounts
associated with the Convertible Preferred Shares and ordinary shares issued pursuant to the arrangement.
F- 22
The aggregate grant-date
fair value of the 40 Convertible Preferred Shares was $ 925 , estimated using a Monte Carlo option pricing model that considered a common
stock price of $ 4.62 , estimated volatility of 125.0 %, and a risk-free interest rate of 3.84 %. During the year ended December 31, 2025,
the Company recognized $ 6,049 of share-based compensation expense related to these awards, which includes the portion attributable to the
20 Convertible Preferred Shares that converted to ordinary shares during the period, with no incremental compensation cost recognized
upon conversion.
On October 16, 2025, certain market-based vesting conditions were satisfied,
and on November 13, 2025 our Board of Directors issued a confirmation statement resulting in the conversion of 20 Convertible Preferred
Shares into 200,000 ordinary shares. The 20 remaining Convertible Preferred Shares outstanding at December 31, 2025 are subject to regulatory
and market-based milestones.
The Company has assessed
that achievement of the remaining regulatory milestones is probable. Accordingly, consistent with ASC 718, compensation cost for these
awards has been fully recognized. Although the awards contain market-based and regulatory vesting conditions, the advisory services associated
with these awards were fully rendered as of the closing date and no future service is required. As such, the full grant-date fair value
was recognized in the period of issuance. The Company will continue to monitor the probability assessment of the regulatory milestones
and will account for any changes in estimates in the period of change, as applicable.
The Convertible Preferred
Shares are classified within shareholder’s equity and will remain subject to ASC 718 until settlement or conversion. As of December
31, 2025, 20 Convertible Preferred Shares remained legally outstanding.

and Contingencies
SPAC Financial Advisory
Services
On December 18, 2024, the Company entered into an engagement letter
with a financial advisory services provider (the “SPAC Financial Advisor” ) to assist with the negotiation, structuring,
and execution of the Company’s business combination with a special purpose acquisition company ( “SPAC” ) (the
“SPAC Financial Advisory Services Agreement” ). Under the agreement, the SPAC Financial Advisor also supported the preparation
of marketing materials and efforts to secure potential backstop financing.
In connection with the Closing on October 9, 2025, the Company issued
223,000 ordinary shares to the SPAC Financial Advisor and also issued 40 Convertible Preferred Shares, which were contingently convertible
into the Company’s ordinary shares at a ratio of 10,000 ordinary shares per Convertible Preferred Share, subject to milestone-based
tranche conversion conditions pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and the SPAC Financial Advisory Services Agreement. As mentioned
above, on October 16, 2025, certain conversion milestones were achieved, and on November 13, 2025 our Board of Directors issued a confirmation
statement resulting in the conversion of 20 Convertible Preferred Shares into 200,000 ordinary shares to the SPAC Financial Advisor.
During the year ended December
31, 2025, the Company paid the cash success fee of $ 2,500 and the milestone fee of $ 225 . During the year ended December 31, 2024, the
Company paid the retainer fee of $ 50 and the LOI signature fee of $ 25 . As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no non-cancelable remaining
cash commitments under the SPAC Financial Advisory Services Agreement, as all remaining obligations are either contingent on future events
or relate to reimbursable costs recognized when incurred.
F- 23
Investor Relations and
Advisory Services Agreements
On October 27, 2025, the Company entered into an investor relations
and advisory services agreement (the “October 27, 2025 Investor Relations and Advisory Services Agreement” ) with the

22, 2025 Capital Markets Advisory Agreement” ) for a 12-month engagement period commencing August 19, 2025. Under the agreement,
the vendor provides strategic capital markets advisory services, including support through the Closing and post-close public company advisory.
As consideration for these services, a cash fee of $ 150 is payable upon close of the business combination, with additional cash fees of

14, 2025 Capital Markets Advisory Agreement” ) with a vendor for a term of 24 months. Under the agreement, the vendor will provide
advisory services including assistance with research coverage, investor meetings, non-deal roadshows, and participation in the vendor
hosted investor conferences. As compensation for these services, a total of $ 600 is due, structured as follows: $ 300 in cash, payable
12 months from the agreement date and $ 300 in cash, payable 24 months from the agreement date. These fees are subject to reduction by
any fees paid to the vendor for other transactions during the term, up to a maximum offset of $ 600 . In the event of a change of control
during the term, the full advisory fee becomes immediately due and payable. The agreement contains standard indemnification clauses and
may be terminated earlier only in the event of breach or for cause.
October 23, 2025 Capital
Markets Advisory Agreement
In October 2025, the Company entered into an agreement (the “October
23, 2025 Capital Markets Advisory Agreement” ) with a vendor to serve as the Company’s financial and capital markets advisor
for a one-year term. Under the agreement, the vendor will provide advisory services including investor positioning, coordination of investor
meetings, and participation in investor conferences, among other mutually agreed services. As consideration for its services, an advisory
fee of $ 700 is due, payable in three installments, $ 233 which was paid upon execution of the agreement in October 2025, $ 233 on March
15, 2026, and $ 233 upon the end of the term of the agreement, October 23, 2026. The agreement contains standard indemnification clauses
and may be terminated earlier only in the event of breach or for cause.
October 27, 2025 Capital
Markets Advisory Agreement
In October 2025, the Company entered into an agreement (the “October
27, 2025 Capital Markets Advisory Agreement” ) with a vendor for a 12-month engagement period beginning January 1, 2026. Under
the October 27, 2025 Capital Markets Advisory Agreement, the vendor will provide strategic capital markets advisory services, including
development of capital market strategy, institutional investor relationship development, participation in conferences and investor meetings
and non-deal roadshows and related support. As compensation for these services, an advisory fee of $ 350 is due, structured as follows:
$ 105 which was paid upon execution of the agreement on October 27, 2025 and $ 245 payable on January 1, 2026. The October 27, 2025 Capital
Markets Advisory Agreement includes standard indemnification clauses and may be terminated with 90 days’ written notice.
F- 24
Engineering Services Agreement
In December 2025, the Company entered into an agreement (the “December
1, 2025 Engineering Services Agreement” ) for vendor-provided engineering services in support of SOLO licensing activities. The
agreement specifies total consideration of € 433 (plus applicable VAT), payable in four monthly installments of € 108.25 each,
with payment due within 10 days of invoice. The agreement includes customary confidentiality, intellectual property, and governing-law
provisions. The agreement contains standard indemnification clauses and may be terminated only for material breach, in which case the
Company is obligated to pay only for services rendered through termination date.
Feasibility and Industrialization
Study Agreement
In November 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor
to conduct a feasibility and industrialization study (the “Feasibility and Industrialization Study Agreement” ) for
the SOLO Micro Modular Nuclear Reactor project. The Feasibility and Industrialization Study Agreement outlines a comprehensive scope of
engineering, fabrication planning, cost analysis, and regulatory support activities to be performed by the vendor. Under the Feasibility
and Industrialization Study Agreement, total consideration based on estimated man-hours and hourly rates as defined in the agreement is
due with a payment structure including 10 % of the total price payable within 7 days of execution, and the remaining balance payable monthly
based on progress milestones and time sheets.
The Feasibility and Industrialization
Study Agreement allows for price adjustments if actual man-hours exceed estimates by more than 5 %, or if additional activities are agreed
upon. Any such adjustments will be subject to separate written agreement. The term of the Feasibility and industrialization Study Agreement
is a minimum of 6 months and up to 24 months, effective upon receipt of the advance payment. Either party may terminate the agreement
under specified conditions, including non-payment or breach.
Senior Advisor Agreement
On August 21, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Senior
Advisor Agreement” ) with an independent contractor to serve as a strategic advisor and promoter for the Company, particularly
in connection with the Business Combination. The term of the Senior Advisor Agreement is 36 months and outlines the independent contractor’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 the independent contractor originates. As of December 31, 2025, these restricted shares have
not been granted.
Note 12. Net Income Per Share
Basic earnings per share ( “EPS” ) is computed by
dividing net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted EPS reflects the effect of potentially dilutive securities and includes such securities only when dilutive. Potential
ordinary shares are excluded from diluted EPS if their effect would be anti-dilutive or if issuance conditions have not been satisfied
as of the reporting date. Contingently issuable shares are included in diluted EPS based on the number of shares that would be issuable
if the reporting period end were the end of the contingency period and if the result would be dilutive. The two-class method is not applicable
because the Company has no participating securities. Share-based awards, including the Convertible Preferred Shares issued to the Company’s
financial advisor, do not have rights to dividends or dividend equivalents prior to conversion and therefore are not considered participating
securities.
F- 25
On October 9, 2025, the Company
completed the Business Combination accounted for as a recapitalization (see Note 2 – Business Combination). Consequently, historical
share information has been retroactively restated to reflect 47,500,000 ordinary shares for periods prior to Closing. Post-Closing issuances
and vestings are included from their respective dates.
At December 31, 2025, the weighted-average shares outstanding include
the 47,500,000 restated baseline for the pre-Closing portion of the year and shares issued/vested after Closing on a time-weighted basis.
Diluted EPS includes only instruments that were dilutive for the period (e.g., in-the-money equity-classified warrants under the treasury
stock method); contingently issuable tranches for which non-market conditions were not met at December 31, 2025 were excluded. At December
31, 2024, there were no dilutive potential ordinary shares; diluted EPS equals basic EPS, and the denominator reflects the 47,500,000
restated ordinary shares for the full year.
Basic and diluted net income
(loss) per share attributable to ordinary shareholders were calculated as follows (in thousands except share and per share amounts):

Certain securities were excluded from diluted
net income (loss) per share for the year ended December 31, 2025 because their issuance conditions were not satisfied at year-end—specifically,
share-settled contingent liabilities (SSCL) related to (i) Convertible Preferred Shares issued to former Terra quotaholders that remained
contingently convertible into 40,000,000 ordinary shares, (ii) Convertible Preferred Shares issued to the Company’s financial advisor
that remained contingently convertible into 200,000 ordinary shares, and (iii) 274,750 unvested Sponsor ordinary shares subject to forfeiture
under post-Closing vesting conditions. These instruments are contingently issuable or forfeitable based on unsatisfied non-market regulatory
approval and/or vesting conditions. Market-based conditions were not a basis for exclusion and therefore are not considered outstanding
or potential ordinary shares at December 31, 2025. Accordingly, these securities are not presented as anti-dilutive instruments
and are excluded from diluted EPS until the applicable issuance or vesting conditions are satisfied.
In addition, liability-classified PIPE Warrants
and Bridge Warrants were out-of-the-money at December 31, 2025 and therefore were anti-dilutive and excluded from diluted EPS, representing
4,475,591 potential shares (see Note 9 – Warrants). Advisor Warrants that were equity-classified and in-the-money during the period
were included in diluted EPS using the treasury stock method.
The Company evaluated events occurring after December 31, 2025 through the date the financial statements
were available to be issued and determined that there were no transactions that would have materially changed the number of ordinary shares
or potential ordinary shares outstanding for purposes of the earnings per share calculations had such transactions occurred as of December 31, 2025.
F- 26
Note 13. Segment Information
The Company is a development-stage
nuclear energy technology company focused on the research, development, and future commercialization of its SOLO micro-modular nuclear
reactor. The CODM, consisting of the Company’s chief executive officer and founding officers acting collectively, reviews financial
information on a consolidated basis for purposes of evaluating performance and allocating resources. The CODM does not review discrete
financial information by product, function, or geographic location. As a result, the Company has determined that it operates as a single
operating segment, which is also its sole reportable segment. The measure of segment profit or loss and segment assets is the same as
that presented in the consolidated financial statements. The CODM primarily uses consolidated general and administrative expenses and
development costs to assess operating performance and liquidity. Because the Company operates as a single reportable segment, no reconciliation
of segment information to consolidated results is required. The Company has not generated revenue from external customers, as its SOLO
product remains under development.
Note 14. Income Taxes
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company
generated income before income taxes entirely in Italy. The Company also recorded no income tax expense or benefit due to current year
tax losses and valuation allowance established against the Company’s net deferred tax assets.
The components of the Company’s deferred
tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
December 31,
2025
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforward
$ 4,590
Share-based compensation
5,166

Total deferred tax assets after valuation allowance

Total deferred tax (liabilities)
-
Net deferred tax assets (liabilities)
$ -
The future realization of the tax benefits from existing temporary
differences and tax attributes ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient future taxable income. The Company assesses the realizability
of its deferred tax assets at each balance sheet date. In assessing the realization of its deferred tax assets, the Company considers
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers the
projected future taxable income, expected reversal of existing deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
After consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company determined that it is not more likely than not
that its net deferred tax assets will be realized in the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company established a valuation allowance
of $ 9,783 as of December 31, 2025.
The reconciliation of the Company’s statutory tax rate and effective
tax rate is as follows:
For The Year Ended
December 31, 2025
Amount

Pretax Income

Other

The rate reconciliation uses Italy’s national statutory corporate
income tax rate of 24 % (IRES), which is the applicable statutory federal (national) income tax rate of the Company’s tax residency
in Italy.
F- 27
As of December 31, 2025, income taxes paid (net of refunds received)
were $ 0 for federal (national) and state (subnational) jurisdictions in the Company’s tax residency in Italy and $ 0 for foreign
jurisdictions (outside Italy).
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had net operating
loss carryforwards in Italy of $ 19,124 that have an unlimited carryforward period
The Company records uncertain tax positions as
liabilities in accordance with ASC 740-10 and adjusts these liabilities when judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information
not previously available. Since there is complexity in some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that
is materially different from the current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. These differences will be reflected as
increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available. The calculation and assessment of the
Company’s income tax exposures generally involve the uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations for federal/national,
state/subnational, and foreign jurisdictions. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than
not that the position will be sustained upon local tax examination including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation on the basis
of the technical merits.
The Company files income tax returns in Italy
which is the Company’s major jurisdiction where it is subject to tax examination by local tax authorities. The Company is not currently
under examination for income taxes and is not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or
material deviation from its tax positions. The statute of limitations for the Company has expired for tax years prior to 2021.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company has not recorded any liabilities for uncertain tax positions including any
related interest and penalties. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in
the provision for income taxes.
Note 15. Subsequent
Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through June 15, 2026 the
date the financial statements were available to be issued, and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would
require adjustments to disclosures in the financial statements other than the following:
Lease Agreement
On January 2, 2026, the Company entered
into a lease agreement for office premises located in Lucca, Italy. The lease is for office and administrative use and has an initial
noncancelable term of six years , commencing on April 1, 2026, and expiring on March 31, 2032 , with automatic renewal
for additional six year periods unless terminated in accordance with the lease terms. The annual base rent is approximately $ 88 (€ 75 ),
payable in monthly installments of approximately $ 7 (€ 6 ), plus value added tax (VAT) as applicable, and is subject to annual escalation
based on changes in the Italian consumer price index (ISTAT). Upon execution of the lease, the Company paid a security deposit of approximately
$ 15 (€ 13 ), which is noninterest bearing and refundable at the end of the lease term, subject to return of the premises in accordance
with the lease conditions, and the Company is responsible for utilities, ordinary maintenance, and other operating costs associated with
the leased premises.
The Company has not yet determined the incremental borrowing rate or other inputs necessary to measure the related
right-of-use asset and lease liability; accordingly, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the financial effect of this lease at
this time.
