GENERAL
Organization
SmartKem, Inc. (“SmartKem” or the “Company”) a Delaware corporation, formerly known as Parasol Investments Corporation (“Parasol”), was formed on May 13, 2020, and is the successor, as discussed below, of SmartKem Limited, which was formed under the Laws of England and Wales. The Company was founded as a “shell” company registered under the Exchange Act, with no specific business plan or purpose until it began operating the business of SmartKem Limited following the closing of the Exchange described below.
On February 23, 2021, Parasol entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), with SmartKem Limited. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement all of the equity interests in SmartKem Limited, except certain deferred shares which had no economic or voting rights and which were purchased by Parasol for an aggregate purchase price of $ 1.40 , were exchanged for shares of Parasol common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share (“common stock”), and SmartKem Limited became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parasol (the “Exchange”).
As a result of the Exchange, Parasol legally acquired the business of SmartKem Limited, and continues as the existing business operations of SmartKem Limited as a public reporting company under the name SmartKem, Inc.
Business
The Company is seeking to change the world of electronics with a new class of transistor developed using its proprietary advanced semiconductor materials that the Company believes has the potential to revolutionize the display industry. The Company’s TRUFLEX® semiconductor polymers enable low temperature printing processes that are compatible with existing manufacturing infrastructure to deliver low-cost, high-performance displays. The Company’s semiconductor platform can be used in a range of display technologies including MicroLED, LCD and AMOLED, as well as in applications in advanced computer and AI chip packaging, sensors, and logic .
The Company designs and develops its materials at its research and development facility in Manchester, UK and provides prototyping services at the Centre for Process Innovation (“CPI”) in Sedgefield, UK. The Company also operates a field application office in Hsinchu, Taiwan, close to its collaboration partner, The Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan (“ITRI”). With its collaboration partners, the Company is developing a commercial-scale production process and Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools for its materials to demonstrate the commercial viability of manufacturing a new generation of displays using the Company’s materials. The Company has an extensive IP portfolio including 140 granted patents across 17 patent families, 14 pending patents and 40 codified trade secrets .
Risk and Uncertainties
The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including the risk of failure to secure additional funding to properly execute the Company’s business plan. The Company is subject to risks that are common to companies in the development stage, including, but not limited to, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, reliance on third party manufacturers, protection of proprietary technology and compliance with regulatory requirements.
The Company has entered into annual framework services agreements with CPI Innovation Services Limited (“CPIIS”), the commercial trading company for CPI, pursuant to which the Company purchases services consisting primarily of access to CPI process equipment required for fabrication as well as access to CPI staff with specific skills, to the extent required, at specified costs, including a minimum annual spending requirement. The Company’s most current agreement with CPIIS expired on March 31, 2025, but has been extended as described below.

Table of Contents
SMARTKEM, INC.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
CPIIS has been reviewing the operation of the clean room facility used by the Company and has advised the Company that it intends to reduce the facility’s operating costs by, among other things, consolidating its clean rooms and seeking to pass more of its operating costs to users including the Company. The Company has entered into a number of short-term extensions of the current CPIIS agreement pursuant to which the term of the current CPIIS agreement has been extended to December 31, 2025. Under the terms of the extensions, the Company has agreed to an increase in its share of the costs of the CPI facility during the extension period. As a result, subsequent to March 31, 2025, the Company’s costs at the CPI facility have increased significantly. The Company expects that any longer-term agreement with CPIIS will require the Company to bear additional costs and that such costs will continue to be significantly higher than under the most recent agreement.
The Company and CPIIS have been negotiating the terms of a proposed three-year license agreement under which the Company would consolidate its operations in one clean room at the CPI facility and would pay a portion of the costs of relocating equipment to that clean room. The Company expects that the license agreement will be terminable by the Company upon not less than six-months’ notice and the payment of certain associated costs. Although no license agreement has been entered into as of the date of this Report, the Company expects that its costs under the license agreement will be somewhat less than under the most recent extension of the current framework services agreement but will be significantly higher than under the original terms of that agreement. Upon the execution and delivery of the license agreement, the most recent extension will expire.
Subject to the receipt of adequate capital financing, the Company will continue to explore options to perform its prototyping services. The Company believes that adequate alternative sites are available for that purpose and is assessing the most effective allocation of capabilities between its UK and Taiwan sites. In the event that the Company decides to move its prototyping operation to an alternative facility, the Company believes that the move would take between two and nine months, depending on equipment availability and any required facility modifications, during which time the Company would incur additional costs to prepare the new facility and install any necessary equipment. In such event, the Company intends to schedule its prototyping activities to minimize any disruption to those operations and would use ITRI’s prototyping line as an interim facility for such work.
The Company has approximately 11 employees located at CPI. Even if the Company is able to locate a suitable replacement facility on acceptable terms, there is no assurance that the key employees at CPI would accept positions at a new facility, particularly if it is located remotely from the CPI facility. Even if the Company locates a suitable replacement facility, it is possible that the Company’s ability to engage in product development, prototyping of demonstration products and process improvement activities may be significantly delayed as a result of the relocation of those functions.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred continuing losses including net losses of $ 4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company’s cash as of June 30, 2025 was $ 1.2 million with net cash used in operating activities of $ 6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company anticipates operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future due to, among other things, costs related to research funding, further development of our technology and products and expenses related to the commercialization of our products.
The Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents of $ 1.2 million as of June 30, 2025 will not be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditures for the 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements. In the event that the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the near term, it may have to curtail its operations or seek protection under applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws.
Beyond its near term need for capital, the Company’s future viability will continue to be dependent on its ability to raise additional capital to fund its operations. The Company will need to obtain additional funds to satisfy its operational needs and to fund its sales and marketing efforts, research and development expenditures, and business development activities. Until such time, if ever, as the Company can generate sufficient cash through revenue, management’s plans are to finance the Company’s working capital requirements through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing, distribution

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
or licensing arrangements. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, the Company’s existing security holders will likely experience dilution. If the Company borrows money, the incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require the Company to agree to operating and financial covenants that could restrict its operations. If the Company enters into a collaboration, strategic alliance or other similar arrangement, it may be forced to give up valuable rights. There can be no assurance however that such financing will be available in sufficient amounts, when and if needed, on acceptable terms or at all. The precise amount and timing of the funding needs cannot be determined accurately at this time, and will depend on a number of factors, including the market demand for the Company’s products and services, the quality of product development efforts, management of working capital, and continuation of normal payment terms and conditions for purchase of services.
There is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to pay its obligations as they fall due, and this substantial doubt is not alleviated by management plans. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2025 and may also be found on the Company’s website (www.smartkem.com). In these notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements the terms “us,” “we” or “our” refer to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and were prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim reporting and with the SEC’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They include the accounts of all wholly owned subsidiaries and all significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Amounts are presented in thousands, except number of shares and per share data.
The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make assumptions and estimates that impact the amounts reported. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024; however, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report have been condensed or omitted as permitted by GAAP. It is important to note that the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations and cash flows to be expected for a full fiscal year or any interim period.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Other than the policies listed below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as set forth in Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report.
The Company records, when necessary, deemed dividends for: (i) the exchange of preferred shares for pre-funded warrants, based on the fair value of the pre-funded warrants in excess of the carrying value of the preferred shares and (ii) the amendment of preferred stock accounted for as an extinguishment, based on the fair value of the preferred stock immediately before and after the amendments.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Management’s Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates in the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate to the valuation of common stock, fair value of stock options and fair value of warrant liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Due to the uncertainty of factors surrounding the estimates or judgments used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, actual results may materially vary from these estimates.
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business as one operating segment: Semiconductor materials.
Recent 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 will require companies to make additional income tax disclosures. The pronouncement is effective for annual filings for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company is still assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard but does not expect it to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
On November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public companies to disclose, in interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the financial statements. The amendments in this pronouncement will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of adoption on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

6. LEASES
The Company has operating leases consisting of office space, lab space and equipment with remaining lease terms of 1 to 3 years , subject to certain renewal options as applicable.
The Company evaluates the nature of each lease at the inception of an arrangement to determine whether it is an operating or financing lease and recognizes the right of use asset and lease liability based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company’s leases do not generally contain an implicit interest rate and therefore the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate it would expect to pay

to borrow on a similar collateralized basis over a similar term in order to determine the present value of its lease payments.
On May 22, 2025, the Company renewed its lease for research & development, engineering, testing and corporate offices in Manchester, England. The renewed lease term expires in 2028 with an option for the Company to end the lease in 2027.
The Company is not the lessor in any lease agreement, and no related party transactions for lease arrangements have occurred.

9. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
On February 23, 2021, the Company approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (“2021 Plan”), in which a maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2021 Plan is 65,000 shares. Subject to the adjustment provisions of the 2021 Plan, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan will also include an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with 2022 fiscal year and ending on the Company’s 2031 fiscal year in an amount equal to the least of: 1) 65,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; 2) four percent ( 4 %) of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year; or 3) such number of shares of the Company’s common stock as the administrator may determine.
At the 2023 Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment (the “2023 Plan Amendment”) to the Company’s 2021 Plan, increasing the number of the shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan from 125,045 shares to 743,106 shares.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Determining the appropriate fair value of share-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, and for share options, the expected life of the option, and expected share price volatility. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its share option awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, the share-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards. Options granted under the 2021 Plan for six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

10. BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE
Basic net loss per share is determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities, except for those shares that are issuable for little or no cash consideration. Diluted net loss per share is determined by dividing net loss by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average shares reflects the dilutive effect, if any, of potentially dilutive common shares, such as stock options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. In periods with reported net operating losses, all common stock options and warrants are generally deemed anti-dilutive such that basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are equal.
The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of earnings per share as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 because their effects would be anti-dilutive:

12. INCOME TAXES
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted, introducing significant changes to U.S. federal tax law, including modifications to corporate tax rates, deductions, and tax credit provisions. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the new law and assessing the potential impacts on its consolidated financial statements.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company has not completed its analysis and has therefore not recorded any material adjustments related to the new legislation. The final impact of the tax law may differ from the Company’s current estimates as the assessment is completed and additional guidance, interpretations, or clarifications become available.
13. SEGMENT REPORTING
We manage our business activities on a consolidated basis and operate as a single operating segment: Semiconductor materials. Our revenue is mostly generated from R&D grants and R&D tax credits. The accounting policies of the semiconductor materials are the same as those described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer and President, Ian Jenks. The CODM uses net loss, as reported on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, in evaluating performance of the Semiconductor
