NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) MARCH 31, 2025 Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations and Liquidity Welsbach Technology Metals Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or “WTMA”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 27, 2021 . The Company is a blank check company formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. The Company has one subsidiary, WTMA Merger Subsidiary Corp. (the “Merger Sub”), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in the state of Delaware on October 19, 2022. As of March 31, 2025, the subsidiary had no activity. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through March 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation and Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), which is described below and, since the IPO, the search for a prospective Business Combination. The Company has not and will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income earned on cash and investments from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on December 27, 2021. On December 30, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 7,500,000 units (“Units”), each Unit containing one share of common stock (the “Public Shares”) and one right to receive 1/10 of one share of common stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Public Rights”), at $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 75,000,000 , which is discussed in Note 3. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 347,500 private placement units (“Private Placement Units”) at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, Welsbach Acquisition Holdings LLC (the “Sponsor”) generating gross proceeds of $ 3,475,000 , which is described in Note 4. The Company granted the underwriters a 45 -day option to purchase up to 1,125,000 Units to cover over-allotment (the “Over-allotment”), if any. On January 14, 2022, the underwriters partially exercised their Over-allotment option and purchased 227,686 additional Units (the “Over-allotment Units”), generating gross proceeds of $ 2,276,860 . Upon the closing of the Over-allotment on January 14, 2022, the Company consummated a private sale of an additional 4,554 Private Placement Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 45,540 . As of January 14, 2022, a total of $ 77,276,860 of the net proceeds from the IPO (including the Over-allotment Units) and the sale of Private Placement Units has been placed in the Trust Account (defined below). As the Over-allotment option was only partially exercised, 224,328 shares of common stock purchased by the Initial Stockholders (as defined below) have been forfeited for no consideration. Offering costs for the IPO and underwriters’ partial exercise of the Over-allotment option amounted to $ 4,788,446 , consisting of $ 1,545,537 of underwriting fees, $ 2,704,690 of deferred underwriting fees payable (which are held in the Trust Account (defined below)) and $ 538,219 of other costs. As described in Note 6, the $ 2,704,690 of deferred underwriting fees payable is contingent upon the consummation of a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the IPO (the “Underwriting Agreement”). 5 WELSBACH TECHNOLOGY METALS ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) MARCH 31, 2025 Following the closing of the IPO, $ 75,000,000 ($ 10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”). The amounts placed in the Trust Account were being invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below. On November 8, 2023, to mitigate the risk of the Company being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act), the Company liquidated the U.S. government treasury obligations held in the Trust Account and placed all funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing deposit account. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80 % of the assets held in the Trust Account excluding the amounts due under the business combination marketing agreement and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. The Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $ 10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable). All of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature, which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”). In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) Subtopic 10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares will be issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Rights as defined in Note 3), the initial carrying value of the Public Shares classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and other Options”. The Public Shares are subject to ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. While redemptions cannot cause the Company’s net tangible assets to fall below $ 5,000,001 , the Public Shares are redeemable and are classified as such on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets until such date that a redemption event takes place. Redemptions of the Company’s Public Shares may be subject to the satisfaction of conditions, including minimum cash conditions, pursuant to an agreement relating to the Company’s Business Combination. If the Company seeks stockholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination, or such other vote as required by law or stock exchange rule. If a stockholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. 6 WELSBACH TECHNOLOGY METALS ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) MARCH 31, 2025 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20.0 % or more of the Public Shares sold in the IPO, without the prior consent of the Company. The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors and other holders of Founders Shares (the “Initial Stockholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100 % of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Common Stock in conjunction with any such amendment. The Company initially had until September 30, 2022 to complete a Business Combination, nine months following the consummation of the Company’s IPO, and further extended, as described below, to 12 and 15 months following the IPO, as the Sponsor extended the period of time to consummate a Business Combination two times by an additional three months, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and the trust agreement. The Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes (less up to $ 100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. As of June 24, 2024, the Company announced that funds in the Company’s Trust Account established to hold a portion of the proceeds from the Company’s IPO, including any interest thereon, will not be used, now or in the future, to pay for any dissolution expenses in connection with the liquidation of the Trust Account. The period of time for the Company to complete a business combination under its Certificate of Incorporation was extended for a period of three months from September 30, 2022 to December 30, 2022 upon the deposit of $ 772,769 into the Trust Account on September 27, 2022 in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. Subsequently, the period of time for the Company to complete a business combination under Certificate of Incorporation was extended for a period of three months from December 30, 2022 to March 30, 2023 upon the deposit of $ 772,769 into the Trust Account on December 23, 2022. On March 24, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders. In connection with the votes to approve the March Extensions (defined below), the stockholders approved the proposal to amend the Company’s charter by allowing the Company to extend (the “Extension”) the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”) for up to an additional six months, from March 30, 2023 to up to September 30, 2023, by depositing into the Trust Account $ 125,000 for each additional one month extension (the “Extension Payment”) in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note, convertible at the option of the holder, in full or in part, into units at a price of $ 10.00 per unit, which units were identical to the Private Placement Units issued in connection with the IPO of the Company’s Units and repayable upon closing of a Business Combination (the “Extension Note”). The Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company entered into an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated March 24, 2023, by and between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and the Company which allowed the Company to extend the Combination Period for up to an additional six months, from March 30, 2023 to up to September 30, 2023 (the “March Extensions”), by depositing into the trust account the Extension Payment each additional one month extension in exchange for an Extension Note. 7 WELSBACH TECHNOLOGY METALS ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) MARCH 31, 2025 The period of time for the Company to complete a business combination under its Certificate of Incorporation was further extended for a period of six months from March 30, 2023 to September 30, 2023 upon the deposit of $ 125,000 into the Trust Account on March 28, 2023, April 27, 2023, May 26, 2023, June 29, 2023, August 1, 2023 and August 29, 2023 in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. On March 24, 2023, holders of 4,097,964 shares of common stock of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $ 10.40 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $ 42.6 million, leaving approximately $ 37.8 million in the Trust Account, based on the approximately $ 80.4 million held in the Trust Account. The amount due to the redeeming stockholders was disbursed on April 10, 2023. On April 10, 2023, $ 42.6 million was disbursed to holders of shares exercising their right to redeem at the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on March 24, 2023 in connection with the vote to approve the March Extensions. On September 11, 2023, the Company issued a press release to announce that it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent with a target in the critical materials space (the “Target”) for a potential business combination. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be entered into or that the proposed transaction will be consummated. On September 29, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders. The stockholders approved the proposal to amend (the “September Charter Amendment”) the Company’s charter by allowing the Company to extend the Combination Period with a target for up to an additional nine months, from September 30, 2023, to up to June 30, 2024 and proposal to amend the Trust Agreement, allowing the Company to extend the Combination Period for up to an additional nine months, from September 30, 2023 to up to June 30, 2024 (the “September Trust Amendment” and together with the September Charter Amendment, the “September Extensions”), for no contribution to the Trust Account. In connection with the votes to approve the September Extensions, the holders of 1,456,871 shares of common stock of the Company properly exercised and did not reverse, their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of $ 10.79 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $ 15.7 million. The amount due to the redeeming stockholders was subsequently disbursed on October 12, 2023. On October 9, 2023, the Company received a letter (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications department of Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company no longer complied with the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) (the “Rule”) for continued listing on Nasdaq. Under the Rule, the Company is required to maintain at least 400 total holders (the “Total Holder Requirement”). The Notice indicates that the Company had 45 calendar days (the “Deadline”) to submit a plan (the “Compliance Plan”) to regain compliance with the Rule. If Nasdaq accepted the Compliance Plan, Nasdaq could grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice to evidence compliance. On November 12, 2023 the Company received an extension to regain compliance with the Rule on or before April 8, 2024. As of April 5, 2024, the Company has received e-mail confirmation from Nasdaq that the Total Holder Requirement deficiency had been cured, followed by a formal confirmation from Nasdaq on April 11, 2024. On October 16, 2023, the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed Mr. Andrew Switaj and Mr. Dominik Michael Oggenfuss as directors of the Company, effective immediately. In connection with their appointments, the Company entered into indemnity agreements with each of Mr. Switaj and Oggegenfuss on October 16, 2023. On November 8, 2023, to mitigate the risk of the Company being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act), the Company liquidated the U.S. government treasury obligations held in the Trust Account and placed all funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing deposit account. On January 25, 2024, the Company issued a press release to announce that it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent with a target in the critical materials space (the “Target”) for a potential business combination. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be entered into or that the proposed transaction will be consummated. 8 WELSBACH TECHNOLOGY METALS ACQUISITION CORP.

Neither Ms. King’s nor Mr. Switaj’s resignation was a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter related to the operations, policies, or practices of the Company. On March 22, 2024, the Company issued a press release to announce that it had entered into a binding letter of intent with Evolution Metals LLC, a Delaware company (“EM”) for a potential business combination. On April 1, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, the Merger Sub, and EM.

The Merger shall be consummated in accordance with the Merger Agreement and shall be evidenced by a certificate of merger with respect to the Merger (as so filed, the “Merger Certificate”), executed by the Constituent Corporations in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and EM, as the surviving corporation of the Merger (hereinafter the “Surviving Corporation”), shall continue its corporate existence under the DGCL, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

On June 17, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq stating that the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s independent director, audit committee, and compensation committee requirements as set forth in Listing Rule 5605 due to the resignations of Ms. Emily King and Mr. Andrew Switaj from the Company’s board, audit committee, and compensation committee on March 18, 2024. On June 28, 2024, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders. The stockholders approved the proposal to amend (the “June Charter Amendment”) the Company’s charter by allowing the Company to extend the Combination Period with a target for up to an additional 12 months, from June 30, 2024 to up to June 30, 2025 and proposal to amend the Trust Agreement, allowing the Company to extend the Combination Period for up to an additional 12 months, from June 30, 2024 to up to June 30, 2025 (the “June Trust Amendment” and together with the June Charter Amendment, the “June Extensions”).

In exchange for the foregoing commitment not to redeem such shares, the Sponsor has agreed to cause MergeCo to issue to such Investors an aggregate of 337,500 ordinary shares of MergeCo immediately following the consummation of an initial business combination if they continue to hold such Non-Redeemed Shares through the Special Stockholder Meeting. 9 WELSBACH TECHNOLOGY METALS ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) MARCH 31, 2025 On July 12, 2024, the Board of the Company appointed Mr. Matthew Rockett as a director of the Company, effectively immediately. In connection with such appointment, the Company entered into an indemnity agreement with Mr. Rockett on July 12, 2024. In exchange for Mr. Rockett’s service on the Board, the Company entered into a Share Compensation Agreement with Mr. Rockett on July 12, 2024, which entitles Mr. Rockett to certain compensation subject to the condition that the Initial Business Combination is consummated, among other things, as further set forth in the agreement. Mr. Rockett was appointed to serve as an independent director, member of the audit committee, and chair of the compensation committee. On July 19, 2024, the Board of the Company appointed Mr. Justin Werner as a director of the Company, effectively immediately. In connection with such appointment, the Company entered into an indemnity agreement with Mr. Werner on July 19, 2024. In exchange for Mr. Werner’s service on the Board, the Company entered into a Share Compensation Agreement with Mr. Werner on July 19, 2024, which entitles Mr. Werner to certain compensation subject to the condition that the Initial Business Combination is consummated, among other things, as further set forth in the agreement. Mr. Werner was appointed to serve as an independent director, member of the audit committee, and member of the compensation committee. As a result of the appointment of Mr. Rockett and Mr. Werner, on August 1, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq determining that the Company complied with the independent director, audit committee, or compensation committee requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market as set forth in Listing Rules 5605(b)(1), 5605(c)(2), and 5605(d)(2). On December 31, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq stating that the Company no longer complied with the requirements of IM-5101-2 (the “Rule”) for continued listing on Nasdaq. Under the Rule, the Company was required to complete its Business Combination within 36 months of the effectiveness of the Company’s IPO registration statement, or by December 27, 2024, which the Company failed to do. The Company’s securities, including its common stock, rights, and units, was delisted from Nasdaq and was suspended at the opening of business on January 7, 2025. The Notice stated that a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the SEC, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq. As of the date of this Report, Form 25-NSE has not yet been filed with the SEC. The Company subsequently applied to list its securities on the OTC Markets and is currently quoted on OTCQB. The Initial Stockholders agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Stockholders acquired Public Shares in or after the IPO, they are entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to its deferred underwriting fees (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $ 10.00 per shares held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. 10 WELSBACH TECHNOLOGY METALS ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) MARCH 31, 2025 Risks and Uncertainties The Company’s results of operations and its ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East. The Company cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact the Company’s business and its ability to complete an initial Business Combination. On August 16, 2022, the IR Act was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1 % Excise Tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1 % of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any PIPE or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination, but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination. During the second quarter of 2024, the Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations with respect to the timing and payment of the excise tax. These regulations provided that the filing and payment deadline for any liability incurred during the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 would be October 31, 2024. Any amount of such excise tax not paid in full, will be subject to additional interest and penalties which are currently estimated at 10 % interest per annum and a 5 % underpayment penalty per month or portion of a month up to 25 % of the total liability for any amount that is unpaid from November 1, 2024 until paid in full. On October 15, 2024, the Company filed an excise tax return for the year ended December 31, 2023. As of the date of filing of these financial statements, the Company has not yet paid the amount due. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized $ 23,694 in interest and penalties. The Company recognized a total of $ 37,203 in interest and penalties through March 31, 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s stockholders redeemed 1,090,062 shares of common stock for a total of $ 12,219,791 . The Company evaluated the classification and accounting of the stock redemption under ASC 450, “Contingencies”. ASC 450 states that when a loss contingency exists the likelihood that the future event(s) will confirm the loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability can range from probable to remote. A contingent liability must be reviewed at each reporting period to determine appropriate treatment. The excise tax is determined at year end based on events that occurred during the year. The excise tax is representative of a contingent liability that is probable of occurring due to the extension to June 30, 2025, past the end of the Company’s current year reporting period. The Company would be required to record a liability in the amount of the excise tax liability which would be calculated as 1 % of the shares redeemed during the reporting period. This position would be reviewed at the end of each reporting period for any change in fact. If the SPAC were to completely liquidate and dissolve (within the meaning of § 1.331-1(d)(1)(ii)) during a taxable year (that is, has a final distribution in complete liquidation to which § 331 applies during that taxable year), no distribution by that covered corporation or covered surrogate foreign corporation during that taxable year is a repurchase. 11 WELSBACH TECHNOLOGY METALS ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) MARCH 31, 2025 As such, the Company recorded a 1 % excise tax liability in the amount of $ 742,784 (inclusive of $ 23,694 penalties and interest for the three months ended March 31, 2025) and $ 719,090 (inclusive of $ 13,509 penalties and interest for the year ended December 31, 2024) on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 and audited consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024, respectively. The liability does not impact the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and is offset against additional paid-in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid-in capital is not available. Going Concern, Liquidity and Capital Resources As of March 31, 2025, the Company had operating cash of $ 738 , and a working capital deficit of $ 8,827,713 . Further, the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. The Company has no revenue, and its business plan is dependent on the completion of a Business Combination within the Combination Period. If the Company is unable to compete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, it must liquidate. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using funds held outside of the Trust Account for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination. If the Company’s estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence, and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to a Business Combination. The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, suspending the pursuit of a Business Combination. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. As a result of the above, in connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management determined that the liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through June 30, 2025, the scheduled liquidation date of the Company if it does not complete a Business Combination prior to such date. Management may raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties to meet the Company’s working capital needs and to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. The Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by June 30, 2025. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from its inability to consummate a Business Combination or its inability to continue as a going concern. 12 WELSBACH TECHNOLOGY METALS ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) MARCH 31, 2025 Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2025. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any future interim periods. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Emerging Growth Company The Company is an emerging growth company as defined in Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), which exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised, and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Use of Estimates The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 13 WELSBACH TECHNOLOGY METALS ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) MARCH 31, 2025 Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Restricted Cash Held in Trust Account On March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, substantially all of the assets held in Trust Account were held in cash. The Company’s cash held in the Trust Account are classified as a restricted cash asset. Any investments held in the Trust Account classified as trading securities such as money market funds and treasury bills are presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest income from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no investments held in Trust Account. Offering Costs Associated with the IPO and Over-allotment Offering costs consist principally of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs directly related to the IPO. Offering costs of the IPO amounted to $ 4,663,218 , which was charged against additional paid-in capital and common stock subject to redemption upon the completion of the IPO. Subsequently, additional offering costs of $ 125,228 was incurred with the Over-allotment in January 2022 and was also charged against additional paid-in capital and common stock subject to redemption in January 2022. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation limit. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. 14 WELSBACH TECHNOLOGY METALS ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) MARCH 31, 2025 The Company’s effective tax rate was ( 2.47 )% and ( 14.43 )% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21 % for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 primarily due to the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets and merger and acquisition costs treated as permanent differences. ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Shares of common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Public Shares sold in the IPO feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. On March 24, 2023, in connection with the votes to approve the March Extensions, the holders of 4,097,964 shares of common stock of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $ 42.6 million. The amount due to the redeeming stockholders was subsequently disbursed on April 10, 2023. On September 29, 2023, in connection with the votes to approve the September Extensions, the holders of 1,456,871 shares of common stock of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for an aggregate redemption amount of $ 15.7 million. The amount due to the redeeming stockholders was subsequently disbursed on October 12, 2023. On June 28, 2024, in connection with the votes to approve the June Extensions, the holders of 1,090,062 shares of common stock of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $ 12.22 million, leaving approximately $ 12.06 million in the Trust Account, based on the approximately $ 24.28 million held in the Trust Account as of June 28, 2024 (less funds that may be withdrawn to pay taxes). Accordingly, 1,082,789 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption on March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. 15 WELSBACH TECHNOLOGY METALS ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) MARCH 31, 2025 Immediately upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized the accretion from the initial book value to redemption amount value. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of common stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. The shares of common stock reflected on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets are reconciled on the following table: Redeemable ordinary shares subject to possible redemption at December 31, 2023 $ 23,850,678 Less: Redemption of common stock ( 12,219,791 ) Plus: Accretion of carrying value to redemption value 514,400 Redeemable ordinary shares subject to possible redemption at December 31, 2024 $ 12,145,287 Plus: Accretion of carrying value to redemption value 38,999 Redeemable ordinary shares subject to possible redemption at March 31, 2025 $ 12,184,286 Net Loss per Share of Common Stock The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC 260-10-45 “Earnings per Share,” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. The Company’s public shares of common stock have a redemption right, which differ from the common stock that are held by the sponsors. Accordingly, the Company has effectively two classes of shares, which are referred to as shares of public common stock and Founder Shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Accretion associated with the common stock subject to possible redemption is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company has excluded the Rights from the calculation of diluted loss per share because the Rights are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and any impact would be anti-dilutive. As a result, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock. The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock (in dollars, except per share amounts): For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Redeemable Non- redeemable Redeemable Non- redeemable Basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock Numerator: Allocation of net loss $ ( 167,380 ) $ ( 353,061 ) $ ( 34,205 ) $ ( 35,955 ) Denominator: Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding 1,082,789 2,283,976 2,172,851 2,283,976 Basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock $ ( 0.15 ) $ ( 0.15 ) $ ( 0.02 ) $ ( 0.02 ) 16 WELSBACH TECHNOLOGY METALS ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) MARCH 31, 2025 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating officer decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2023-07 became effective as of December 31, 2024 and the Company’s management adopted ASU 2023-07 in its financial statements and related disclosures (see Note 9). Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2025. Note 3 — Initial Public Offering and Over-Allotment Pursuant to the IPO, the Company sold 7,500,000 Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination. The Company granted the underwriters a 45 -day option to purchase up to 1,125,000 Units to cover Over-allotment, if any. On January 14, 2022, the underwriters partially exercised the option and purchased 227,686 additional Units. Note 4 — Private Placement On December 27, 2021, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the issuance and sale of 347,500 Private Placement Units in a private placement transaction at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 3,475,000 . Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of common stock and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination. On January 14, 2022, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 4,554 Private Placement Units, at $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $ 45,540 . A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Units were added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust Account.

On October 13, 2021, the Company effected an exchange of each such Class B shares for 1.5 shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 2,156,250 Founder Shares. The Company no longer has Class B common stock authorized. The Initial Stockholders agreed to forfeit up to 281,250 Founder Shares to the extent that the Over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters. On January 14, 2022, the Sponsor forfeited 224,328 Founder Shares for no consideration, due to the underwriters’ exercise of the Over-allotment option in part. The Founder Shares were placed into an escrow account maintained in New York, New York by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as escrow agent. Subject to certain limited exceptions, 50 % of these shares will not be transferred, assigned, sold or released from escrow until the earlier of (i) nine months after the date of the consummation of a Business Combination and (ii) the date on which the closing price of our common stock equals or exceeds $ 12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30 -trading day period commencing after our Business Combination and the remaining 50 % of the Founder Shares will not be transferred, assigned, sold or released from escrow until nine months after the date of the consummation of a Business Combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to a Business Combination, we complete a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction, which results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Related Party Loans In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $ 1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $ 10.00 per unit. These units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. On December 30, 2024, the Company increased the Working Capital Loans up to $ 2.5 million in connection with completing a Business Combination. On July 30, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Working Capital Note 1”) in the principal amount of $ 84,000 to the Sponsor in exchange for cash. The Company drew an additional $ 100 from this promissory note which resulted in a total outstanding amount of $ 84,100 .

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) MARCH 31, 2025 Working Capital Note 1, together with Working Capital Notes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 (hereinafter, collectively, the “Working Capital Notes”) are non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory notes that will not be repaid in the event that the Company is unable to close a Business Combination unless there are funds available outside the Trust Account to do so. Such Working Capital Notes would either be paid upon consummation of the initial Business Combination out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company or, at the Sponsor’s discretion, converted, in full or in part, upon consummation of the initial Business Combination into additional private units at a price of $ 10.00 per unit. Additional Working Capital Notes may be funded at the discretion of the Sponsor, in total amounts for the Working Capital Notes series not to exceed $ 2.5 million. The conversion feature was analyzed under ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion or Other Options”, the Promissory Notes did not include any premium or discounts. The conversion option did not include elements that would require bifurcation under ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The convertible note payable and conversion feature does not meet the requirements for classification under ASC 480 and as a result is not required to be accounted for as a liability under ASC 480. In this case, the conversion feature embedded within the convertible promissory note does not require bifurcation and as a result remains embedded within the debt instrument because the convertible promissory note conversion feature does not meet the definition of a derivative as it fails the net settlement requirement. The embedded conversion feature does qualify as equity under ASC 815-40 as the exercise contingency is not based on an observable market or index unrelated to the issuer, the instrument meets the fixed-for-fixed criteria under ASC 815-40-15, meets the requirements for equity classification pursuant to ASC 815-40-25-1 and 25-2 and does not meet the definition of a derivative as it fails the net settlement requirement. Based on this analysis, the scope exception would apply, and the embedded conversion feature would fail to satisfy the third bifurcation condition within ASC 815-15-25-1. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. the balances outstanding under the Working Capital Notes were $ 2,215,455 and $ 1,740,966 , respectively, reported in Working capital loans – related party in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The First Promissory Note and Second Promissory Note bear no interest and are payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company or (ii) at the Sponsor’s discretion, converted, in full or in part, upon consummation of the Company’s Business Combination into additional private units at a price of $ 10.00 per unit (the “Conversion”). On each of March 30, 2023, April 30, 2023, May 30, 2023, June 30, 2023, July 30, 2023 and August 30, 2023, the Company issued six promissory notes to the Sponsor in connection with the Extension (see Note 1) in the principal amount of $ 125,000 for each note (together with the First Promissory Note and the Second Promissory note, collectively, the “Convertible Promissory Notes”). The Convertible Promissory Notes bear no interest and shall be payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company’s or (ii) at the Sponsor’s discretion, converted, in full or in part, upon consummation of the Company’s Business Combination into additional private units at a price of $ 10.00 per unit (the “Conversion”). The Convertible Promissory Notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, convertible into private units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $ 10.00 per unit.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) MARCH 31, 2025 Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash. From inception through March 31, 2025, the Company withdrew $ 70,571,778 in connection with redemptions of common stock, which includes $ 2,267,561 of the interest earned on the Trust Account distributed to the stockholders, $ 841,386 of the interest earned on the Trust Account to pay franchise and income taxes of which no amount is reported as restricted cash on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 there were no assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value. Note 9 — Segment Information ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Operating Officer (“CODM”), who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one operating segment. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 General and administrative expenses $ 567,723 $ 271,992 Interest income from restricted cash held in Trust Account $ 97,051 $ 260,681 The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM are interest income from restricted cash held in Trust Account and general and administrative expenses. The CODM reviews interest income from restricted cash held in Trust Account to measure and monitor stockholders value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the Trust Agreement. General and administrative expenses are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination within the Business Combination Period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. Note 10 — Subsequent Events The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after March 31, 2025, the balance sheet date, up to the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any other subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 24
