Overview
Evolution Metals &
Technologies Corp. is a fully integrated critical materials and technology company focused on building a secure, reliable, and self-sustaining
U.S.-aligned supply chain for critical minerals and materials (“CMM”), including rare earth elements (“REEs”),
primarily through the recycling of end-of-life materials (“urban mining”). End-of-life materials are recovered from products
that have reached the end of their useful service life — such as batteries, electronic devices, motors, and magnets — which
can no longer perform their intended function but still contain valuable metals and materials that can be recycled and reused in new manufacturing.
EM&T owns and operates across the following midstream to downstream segments: (i) feedstock processing, (ii) oxide production,
(iii) metal and alloy manufacturing, (iv) powder production, (v) the manufacture of bonded and sintered rare earth magnets,
(vi) battery-grade sulfates and carbonates, (vii) precursor cathode active materials (“pCAM”), (viii) precious
metals, and (ix) base metals. These outputs integrate directly into the supply chains of, and are suitable for direct delivery to,
gigafactories, defense suppliers, original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), and refineries. EM&T’s own operations
are supported by advanced recycling processes, proprietary automation, and artificial intelligence-enabled systems, allowing the Company
to continue to operate at commercial scale using proven technologies and experienced operating personnel.
50
History of EM&T
Evolution Metals &
Technologies Corp. (the “Company”) (formerly known as Welsbach Technology Metals Acquisition Corp. (“WTMA”)) was
a blank check company incorporated in the State of Delaware for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition,
share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. WTMA consummated its initial public offering
in 2021, and its securities were listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”).
Evolution Metals LLC (“EM”),
a Delaware limited liability company, was formed in February 2024 for the purpose of building an integrated midstream and downstream critical
materials platform focused on recycling, processing, and manufacturing products derived from end-of-life materials, including rare earth
elements, permanent magnets, battery metals, and precious metals.
In connection with its formation,
EM was organized as a holding company intended to acquire and integrate operating businesses with established commercial capabilities
across critical materials recycling, metal and alloy manufacturing, and advanced materials processing.
Prior to the consummation
of the Business Combination, EM completed the acquisition of (i) Handa Lab Co., Ltd., (ii) KCM Industry Co., Ltd., (iii) KMMI INC., and
(iv) NS World Co., Ltd., each a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea (collectively, the “Korean Companies”).
The Korean Companies operate commercial-scale facilities engaged in the production of rare earth oxides, metals, alloys, powders, and
permanent magnets, and collectively represent the core operating assets of EM.
On January 5, 2026 (the “Closing
Date”), WTMA Merger Subsidiary LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Welsbach Technology Metals Acquisition Corp. (“WTMA”),
merged with and into EM pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, with EM surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary
of WTMA (the “Merger”). In connection with the Closing, WTMA changed its name to Evolution Metals & Technologies Corp.
(“EM&T”).
As a result of the Business Combination,
EM&T is a holding company, all of whose assets are held directly or indirectly by, and all of whose operations are conducted
through, EM and its subsidiaries, including the Korean Companies. EM is the Company’s primary operating subsidiary and holds
substantially all of the operating assets of the consolidated enterprise. As the sole equity owner of EM, EM&T exercises full
control over the management and operations of EM and its subsidiaries.
The Business Combination
is a subsequent event that occurred after the periods for which the financial information herein is presented. However, an annual report
on Form 10-K, including financial statements of the Company for the periods presented herein, is required to be filed with the SEC. The
financial information included in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”
reflects the historical operations of the Company prior to the Business Combination, unless otherwise noted. For additional information
on the Business Combination please see the section titled “Recent Developments” on page 13 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Results of Operations
We have neither engaged
in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities for the period ended December 31, 2025 were in connection
with the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion
of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds
of the IPO placed in the Trust Account. We incurred expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting
and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.
For the year ended December
31, 2025, we had a net loss of $1,789,441, which primarily consists of operating expenses of $1,948,431, franchise taxes of $92,400 and
a provision for income taxes of $38,685, partially offset by interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account in total of $276,616.
For the year ended December
31, 2024, we had a net loss of $899,927, which primarily consists of operating expenses of $1,428,060, franchise taxes of $154,785 and
a provision for income taxes of $125,950, partially offset by interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account in total of $808,868.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
On December 30, 2021, the
Company consummated the IPO of 7,500,000 units, each Unit containing one share of common stock and one right to receive 1/10 of one share
of common stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination, generating gross proceeds of $75,000,000, which is discussed in Note
3 to the consolidated financial statements.
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 to the consolidated financial statements.
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 (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 were placed in the Trust Account. As the Over-allotment option
was only partially exercised, 224,328 shares of common stock purchased by the Initial Stockholders were forfeited for no consideration.
Offering costs for the IPO
amounted to $4,663,218, consisting of $1,500,000 of underwriting fees, $2,625,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable (which are held
in the trust account) and $538,218 of other costs. The deferred underwriting fee payable of $2,704,690 was contingent upon the consummation
of a Business Combination by September 30, 2023, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.
For the year ended December
31, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $1,328,287. Net cash provided by investing activities was $6,069,575 mainly reflecting
cash withdrawn from trust account in connection with redemption and to pay franchise and income taxes. Net cash used in financing activities
was $4,738,451 reflecting redemption and partially offset by the proceeds from working capital loans entered into with the related party.
For the year ended December
31, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $1,459,263. Net cash provided by investing activities was $12,320,164 mainly reflecting
cash withdrawn from trust account to pay franchise and income taxes and cash withdrawn from trust account in connection with redemption.
Net cash used in financing activities was $11,027,925 mainly reflecting proceeds from convertible promissory notes and working capital
loans entered into with the related party and redemption of common stock.
At December 31, 2025, we
had cash held in the Trust Account of $6,464,974. We used substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts
representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that
our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds
held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other
acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had $6,069,575 withdrawal from the Trust
Account in connection with redemption and to pay franchise taxes.
52
At December 31, 2025, we
had operating cash of $4,022, outside of the Trust Account. We used the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and
evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or
similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements
of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete the Business Combination.
Through December 31, 2025,
the Company withdrew a total of $1,045,248 from the Trust Account for taxes of which was utilized to pay for franchise and income taxes.
Through December 31, 2024, the Company withdrew a total of $841,386 from the Trust Account for taxes of which was utilized to pay for
franchise and income taxes. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there is no outstanding balance under restricted cash. For the period ended
December 31, 2025 and 2024, amounts accrued for interest and penalties related to franchise tax were $552 and $7,935, respectively.
Going Concern
Subsequent to December 31,
2025, on January 5, 2026, the Company consummated its business combination with Evolution Metals LLC, including the acquisition of KCM
Industry Co., Ltd., KMMI Inc., NS World Co., Ltd., and Handa Lab Co., Ltd. Management considered this subsequent event in its going concern
assessment. However, the business combination did not result in the receipt of significant external funding at closing, and therefore
the Company’s liquidity position was not materially improved as a result of the transaction. The combined company is currently planning
to conduct a primary equity offering within the next several months to raise additional capital, and if such financing is successfully
completed, management believes the going concern conditions may be alleviated.
As a result of the foregoing,
in connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability
to Continue as a Going Concern, management has determined that the Company’s liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period from the date the financial statements are available
to be issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of recorded assets or the classification
of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
53
Related Party Transactions
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction
costs in connection with the Business Combination, certain of the Company’s officers and directors loaned the Company funds as was
required. If the Company completed its 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 did not close, the Company was entitled to 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.
On September 30, 2022 and
December 30, 2022, the Company issued two promissory notes, each for $772,769 (the “First Promissory Note” and “Second
Promissory Note,” respectively) to the Sponsor in connection with the Extension. 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.
On 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 March Extensions (the “Third”, “Fourth”, “Fifth”, “Sixth”, “Seventh”,
and “Eighth” Promissory Notes) in the principal amount of $125,000 for each note. The First Promissory Note together with
Second through Eighth Promissory Notes (collectively, the “Convertible Promissory Notes”) bear no interest and shall be payable
upon the earlier to occur of (i) upon 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”).
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.
On August 30, 2023, September
28, 2023, November 10, 2023, December 29, 2023, March 20, 2024, June 28, 2024, September 30, 2024, December 31, 2024, March 31, 2025,
June 30, 2025, September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025, the Company issued promissory notes in the principal amounts of $378,000, $22,000,
$50,000, $15,000, $373,737, $177,773, $192,069, $4048,287, $474,490, $286,259, $106,716 and $259,798, respectively (“Working Capital
Notes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13,” respectively), to the Sponsor in exchange for cash.
54
Working Capital Note 1, together
with Working Capital Notes 2, 3, 4,5,6,7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 the (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 an initial
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 $4 million.
The Convertible Promissory
Notes and Working Capital 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. The conversion feature
was analyzed under ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion or Other Options”, the note 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 December 31, 2025 and
2024, respectively, there was $2,296,371 outstanding under the Convertible Promissory Notes reported in Convertible promissory notes –
related party in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
As of December 31, 2025 and
2024, respectively, there were $2,868,228 and $1,740,966 outstanding under the Working Capital Notes reported in Working capital loans
– related party in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
On May 3, 2023, the Company
and Welsbach Holdings Pte Ltd (the “Backstopper”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, entered into a backstop agreement (the “Backstop
Agreement”) pursuant to which the Backstopper guarantees any deficiency of restricted cash which may exist as of December 31, 2025,
and agrees to advance funds as needed to remedy any such deficiency.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets
or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2025. We do not participate in transactions
that create relationships with entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been
established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements,
established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
55
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term
debt, capital lease obligations or operating lease obligations.
The underwriters were paid
a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit on the offering, or $1,545,537 in the aggregate at the closing of the IPO and the over-allotment
option. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting commissions of $0.35 per unit, or $2,704,690 from the closing
of the IPO.

Factors That May Adversely Affect Our Results
of Operations
On January 5, 2026, the Company
consummated the Business Combination and is now focused on executing its post-combination operating plan and capital formation strategy.
The Business Combination did not include significant external financing at closing, and the Company expects to require additional capital
to support its operations and growth initiatives. Management is actively pursuing additional sources of capital, including equity and
strategic financing arrangements.
The Company will need to
raise additional capital through equity financings, debt financings, or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers,
directors, or third parties. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company
is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take measures to conserve liquidity, which could include reducing or delaying
certain operating and capital expenditures.
Following the Business Combination,
our results of operations may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial
markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business 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. We 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 our business.
JOBS Act
On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart
Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other
things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and
under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly
traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with
new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies.
As such, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
Additionally, we are relying
on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an “emerging
growth company,” we are not required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of
internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure
that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii)
comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) regarding mandatory
audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the consolidated
financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation
between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of executive compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions
will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our IPO or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,”
whichever is earlier.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Critical Accounting Policies
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our common
stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability
instrument and is 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 our
control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock
features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events.
Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section
of our consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying
value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying
amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.
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 loss
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 shares that the sponsors hold. Accordingly, the Company has effectively two classes of shares, which are referred
to as public shares of common stock and Founder Shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net loss
per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding
shares of common stock subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor. At December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and/or
other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company.
As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual
results could materially differ from those estimates. As of the end of the reporting period, we have not identified any critical accounting
estimates.

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 adopted ASU 2023-09 in our financial statements and disclosures as of December 31, 2025.
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 our management adopted ASU 2023-07 in
our 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
consolidated financial statements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
about Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting
