ASP Isotopes Inc. NASDAQ: ASPI ("ASPI," or the "Company"), an advanced materials company dedicated to the development of technology and processes designed to produce isotopes used in multiple industries, today released the following letter to stockholders from its Chairman and CEO, Paul Mann.

ASP Isotopes Inc. NASDAQ:ASPI(“ASPI” 或 “公司”)是一家致力于开发用于生产用于多个行业的同位素的技术和工艺的先进材料公司,今天发布了其董事长兼首席执行官保罗·曼恩致股东的以下信函。

Dear Fellow Stockholder,

尊敬的各位股东,

In light of the considerable progress made since my last shareholder letter approximately six months ago, and with our Annual Report on Form 10K for 2023 having just been filed, I wanted to personally communicate with you today to highlight some of our recent key milestones and discuss our future goals.

鉴于自大约六个月前我上次致股东信函以来取得了长足的进展,而且我们刚刚提交了2023年10K表年度报告,我今天想亲自与您沟通,重点介绍我们最近的一些关键里程碑并讨论我们的未来目标。

  • Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed with 2023 annual results largely in line with expectations
  • Current balance sheet and available cash are at their strongest since the inception of the Company
  • The Company's first commercial isotopes plant started processing raw materials for the anticipated production of enriched isotopes around mid-year
  • The Company signed a purchase agreement for the supply of highly enriched silicon-28, for use in next-generation semiconductors capable of enabling quantum computing and artificial intelligence
  • The Company signed a contract with a U.S.-based SMR (Small Modular Reactor) company, pursuant to which the Company will engage in certain activities related to preliminary engineering design and planning for an enrichment facility for the production of nuclear fuels that are expected to be used in next-generation nuclear reactors
  • Construction underway of first quantum enrichment facility, focused on producing Ytterbium-176, an important feedstock used in the production of Lutetium 177 which is the active component of Novartis' potential blockbuster for the treatment of prostate cancer Pluvicto.
  • PET Labs FDG production grew 32% year on year in 2023 over 2022.
  • 10-K表年度报告已提交,2023年年度业绩基本符合预期
  • 当前资产负债表和可用现金处于自公司成立以来的最高水平
  • 该公司的第一家商用同位素工厂在年中左右开始加工原材料,用于预期的富集同位素的生产
  • 该公司签署了供应高浓缩硅28的购买协议,用于能够实现量子计算和人工智能的下一代半导体
  • 该公司与一家总部位于美国的SMR(小型模块化反应堆)公司签订了合同,根据该合同,该公司将从事某些与浓缩设施的初步工程设计和规划有关的活动,该浓缩设施用于生产预计将用于下一代核反应堆的核燃料
  • 第一座量子浓缩设施正在建设中,重点生产钇-176,这是生产Lutetium 177的重要原料,Lutetium 177是诺华潜在的治疗前列腺癌大片Pluvicto的活性成分。
  • 与 2022 年相比,PET Labs FDG 产量在 2023 年同比增长 32%。

Tight control on operating expenses and strengthened balance sheet on heels of recent capital raises.

在最近筹集资金之后,严格控制运营支出,资产负债表得到加强。

During 2023 we had $(4.7) million in operating free cash flow, slightly lower expense than the $(5) million that we had been targeting. We will continue to maintain a tight control on all expenses.

2023 年,我们的运营自由现金流为(470)万美元,略低于我们设定的目标(500)万美元。我们将继续严格控制所有开支。

We finished the year with cash on the balance sheet of $7.9 million. In February 2024, our wholly owned subsidiary – Quantum Leap Energy LLC – raised over $20 million via a convertible note offering, with Ocean Wall Limited acting as Placement Agent. In addition, this week we received approximately $5.5 million in gross proceeds from the exercise of warrants held by an institutional investor. Thus, our current cash balance is very strong, enabling focused accelerated development of new technologies.

今年年底,资产负债表上的现金为790万美元。2024年2月,我们的全资子公司——Quantum Leap Energy LLC——通过发行可转换票据筹集了超过2000万美元的资金,海墙有限公司担任配售代理。此外,本周我们从行使机构投资者持有的认股权证中获得了约550万美元的总收益。因此,我们目前的现金余额非常强劲,可以集中加快新技术的开发。

We have a large backlog of interest from customers for many different isotopes and we expect to fund future isotope enrichment facilities using primarily funding provided by those customers combined with additional debt. With proof of concept for the ASP process now demonstrated and revenue generation from the sale of enriched isotopes anticipated this year, we have begun discussions with multiple potential debt providers.

我们有许多不同同位素的客户积压了大量利息,我们预计将主要使用这些客户提供的资金加上额外的债务,为未来的同位素浓缩设施提供资金。随着ASP流程的概念验证现已得到证实,预计今年富集同位素的销售将带来收入,我们已经开始与多个潜在的债务提供者进行讨论。
