SOLIDION TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS
AND GOING CONCERN
Solidion Technology, Inc (the “Company”,
“Solidion” or “Solidion Technology”), formerly known as Nubia Brand International Corp. prior to February 2, 2024,
was incorporated in Delaware on June 14, 2021 and is an advanced battery technology company focused on the development and commercialization
of next-generation battery materials, components, and energy storage solutions. Solidion is headquartered in Dallas, TX, with research
and development and manufacturing operations located in Dayton, OH.
On February 2, 2024, Nubia Brand International
Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Nubia” and after the Transactions described herein, the “Company”, “Solidion”
or “Solidion Technology, Inc.”), consummated the merger (the “Closing”) pursuant to a Merger Agreement, dated
February 16, 2023 (as amended on August 25, 2023, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Nubia, Honeycomb Battery Company,
an Ohio corporation (“HBC”), and Nubia Merger Sub, Inc., an Ohio corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Nubia (“Merger
Sub”). HBC was formerly the energy solutions division of Global Graphene Group, Inc. (“G3”). Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into HBC (the “Merger,” and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the
“Transactions”), with HBC surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Nubia, which was renamed “Solidion Technology,
Inc.” upon Closing.
In accordance with the Merger Agreement the Company
issued to the HBC stockholders aggregate consideration of 1,400,000 shares of Solidion’s common stock, minus up to 4,000 Holdback
Shares, subject to adjustment for any additional interest or penalties related to the G3 Tax Lien (the “Closing Merger Consideration
Shares”) at the effective time of the Merger Agreement (the “Effective Time”), plus up to an additional 450,000 shares
of Solidion’s common stock (the “Earnout Shares”) upon the occurrence of the following events (or earlier upon a change
of control of Solidion but subject to (and only to the extent that) the valuation of Solidion’s common stock implied by such change
of control transaction meeting the respective volume weighted average price (“VWAP”), as defined in the Merger Agreement,
thresholds set forth below) (the “Earnout Arrangement”):
(i) 100,000 Earnout Shares if, over any ten (10) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period from and after the date that is thirty (30) days following the closing date of the Transactions (the “Closing Date”) until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the VWAP of the shares of Solidion’s Class A common stock is greater than or equal to $12.50 per share (subject to any adjustment pursuant to the Merger Agreement);
(ii)
150,000 Earnout Shares if, over any ten (10) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period from and after the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date until the date that is forty-two (42) months following the Closing Date, the VWAP of the shares of Solidion’s Class A common stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share (subject to any adjustment pursuant to the Merger Agreement); and
(iii)
200,000 Earnout Shares if over any ten (10) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period from and after the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date until the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, the VWAP of the shares of Solidion’s Class A common stock is greater than or equal to $25.00 per share (subject to any adjustment pursuant to the Merger Agreement).
If, prior to the expiration of the earn out periods
set forth in (i)-(iii) above, there occurs any transaction resulting in a change in control, and the corresponding valuation of Solidion’s
Class A common stock, calculated inclusive of the Earnout Shares to be issued under the Earnout Arrangement, is greater than or equal
to the amount set forth in (i)-(iii), as applicable, then, immediately prior to the consummation of such change in control, the event
set forth in (i)-(iii), as applicable, if not previously satisfied, shall be deemed to have occurred, subject to the terms provided in
the Merger Agreement.
As of June 30, 2025, none of the Earnout Shares
had been earned by G3.
5
The Merger was accounted for as a common control
transaction with respect to HBC which is akin to a reverse recapitalization. This conclusion was based on the fact that G3 had a controlling
financial interest in HBC prior to the Merger and has a controlling financial interest in Solidion (which includes HBC as a wholly owned
subsidiary). Net assets of Nubia were stated at their historical carrying amounts with no goodwill or intangible assets recognized in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Merger with respect
to HBC was not treated as a change in control due primarily to G3 receiving the controlling voting stake in Solidion and G3’s ability
to nominate a majority of the board of directors of Solidion. Under the guidance in ASC 805 for transactions between entities under common
control, the assets and liabilities of HBC and Nubia are recognized at their carrying amounts on the date of the Merger.
Under a reverse recapitalization, Nubia was treated
as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as
the equivalent of HBC issuing stock for the net liabilities of Nubia, accompanied by a recapitalization.
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements have
been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
Since the Company’s inception, it has experienced
recurring net losses and net cash used in operating activities and has generated minimal sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2025,
the Company recorded a net income of $ 9,341,421 , which included a gain of $ 14,461,950 due to the change in the fair value of derivative
liabilities, net cash used in operating activities of $ 3,255,997 and as of June 30, 2025, had cash and cash equivalents of $ 114,652 . For
the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a net loss of $ 25,929,003 , which included a gain of $ 18,011,100 due to the change
in the fair value of derivative liabilities and a $ 30,281,475 loss due to the issuance of common stock and warrants, net cash used in
operating activities of $ 7,377,807 and as of December 31, 2024, had cash and cash equivalents of $ 3,353,732 .
The Company expects to continue to incur net losses
and net cash used in operating activities in accordance with its operating plan and expects that expenditures will increase significantly
in connection with its ongoing activities. As of the balance sheet date and up to the date that the financial statements were issued,
the Company does not have availability under any debt agreements. Given the Company’s projected operating requirements and its existing
cash and cash equivalents, the Company is projecting insufficient liquidity to sustain its operations and meet its obligations through
one year following the date that the financial statements were issued.
In addition, the Company has received a notice
from the Nasdaq related to their failure to maintain the minimum bid price requirement of $ 1 per share. In response, on May 12, 2025,
the Company effectuated a 1-for-50 reverse split of its Common Stock in order to reach the Nasdaq minimum. The primary objective of the
reverse stock split is to increase the per-share market price of the Company's common stock to enable the Company to regain compliance
with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq. Additionally, on April, 16, 2025, the Company received notice
from the Nasdaq due to the Company’s noncompliance with Nasdaq’s minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”)
requirement and minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (“MVPHS”) requirement. The Company has a compliance period of
180 calendar days, or until October 13, 2025, to regain compliance with the MVPHS requirement.
On July 7, 2025, the Company received notice from
Nasdaq that it has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Bid Price Rule”).
As of the date of this filing, the Company is
not currently in compliance with the Nasdaq’s MVLS listing rules and if the Company does not regain compliance, the common stock
of the Company could be delisted from the Nasdaq exchange.
If the Company’s common stock is delisted,
it may affect the Company’s ability to obtain financing, trade or sell shares of their common stock, and/or forecasted operations
could be negatively impacted in an amount that the Company cannot currently quantify. These events and conditions raise substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
As an early-stage growth company, the Company’s
ability to access capital is critical. The Company plans to finance its operations with proceeds from the sale of equity securities or
debt; however, there is no assurance that management’s plans to obtain additional debt or equity financing will be successfully
implemented or implemented on terms favorable to the Company.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s current business activities
consist of development and commercialization of battery materials, components, cells, and selected module/pack technologies. The Company
faces inherent risks associated with its operations, such as the ongoing development of its technology, marketing, and distribution channels,
as well as the enhancement of its supply chain and manufacturing capabilities. Additionally, the need to recruit additional management
and key personnel is vital. The success of the Company’s development initiatives and the achievement of profitability hinge on various
factors, including its ability to enter potential markets and secure sustainable financing in the future.
The Company’s future results of operations
involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results
to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, rapid technological change, competition from substitute products
and larger companies, protection of proprietary technology, ability to maintain distributor relationships and dependence on key individuals.

NOTE 2 — CORRECTION OF ERRORS IN PREVIOUSLY REPORTED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Subsequent
to the issuance of the interim financial information as of and for the period ended September 30, 2024, the Company identified an error
related to the accounting for issuance costs associated with convertible notes. Specifically, approximately $ 2.8 million of non-cash,
non-operating stock-based expense related to bonus shares was inadvertently omitted and not reflected in the financial statements for
the first quarter of 2024. See Note 10 Convertible Notes for more details.
As a result,
the Company has revised its previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of this material error, recording the issuance
cost in issuance of common stock and warrants within non-operating losses. The revision had no impact on total stockholders’ equity
or cash flows, but it did increase net loss and increase additional paid-in capital in the affected periods.
The revised
quarterly financial information is included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in the tables that follow.
All references to common stock, warrants, and
restricted stock units, as well as related per-share amounts in these condensed consolidated and combined financial statements, have been
retrospectively adjusted to reflect the 1-for-50 reverse stock split effected on May 12, 2025.
The impact
of the restatement on the condensed consolidated and combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is as follows:

NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of
Consolidation
The accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements (the “financial statements”) are presented in conformity
with US GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
During the periods prior to the Closing date of
the Merger, the Company operated as part of G3. Consequently, stand-alone financial statements have not historically been prepared for
the Company. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared from G3’s historical accounting records and are presented
on a stand-alone basis as if the Company’s operations had been conducted independently from G3. Therefore, the financial statements
included herein may not be indicative of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company in the future or
if the Company had been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.
The Company’s financial statements have
been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and
discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
The financial
statements include the Company entities. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated for consolidation purposes.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,”
as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart
Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various
reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited
to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and
exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden
parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act 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 a 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 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 financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth
company which 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 financial statements in conformity
with US 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses
during the reporting period.
9
Making estimates requires management to exercise
significant judgment. 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 balance sheet which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due
to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Segment Reporting
The Company has determined that the Chief Executive
Officer is its Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”). Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for
which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources to
an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company has determined that it operates in one operating segment and one reportable
segment, as the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating
resources, and evaluating financial performance.
The CODM uses consolidated net income (loss) as
the measure of segment profit or loss. Expense information is also reviewed only at the consolidated level, as presented in the Company’s
consolidated statement of operations. Research and development expense has been identified as a significant segment expense, with all
other expense lines being considered part of ‘Other segment items.’ Additionally, the CODM evaluates assets on a consolidated
basis. As such, the Company reports segment profit or loss, segment expenses, and segment assets on a consolidated and combined basis.
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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Accounts Receivable, net of Allowance for
Credit Losses
Accounts receivables are stated at the amount
the Company expects to collect. The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses to ensure accounts receivables are not overstated
due to un-collectability. Bad debt reserves are maintained as warranted for various customers based on a variety of factors, including
the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience. An additional reserve for individual
accounts is recorded when the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case
of bankruptcy filings, or deterioration in such customer’s operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to
a customer change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024,
the Company determined that no allowance was required.
Other Receivable
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company
advanced $ 302,500 to G3 for transaction costs incurred during the Merger. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance
of other receivables amounted to $ 302,500 .
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in,
first-out cost or net realizable value. The Company writes-down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal
to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.
The Company writes off obsolete inventories when the Company deems the value to be impaired. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024,
the Company determined that no write off was required.
10
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the economic useful life of the related assets,
are charged to operations as incurred, and expenditures, which extend the economic life, are capitalized. When assets are retired, or
otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss
on disposal is recognized. The Company assesses the carrying value of its property and equipment for impairment each year and when
indicators exist that there could be an impairment.
Based on its assessments, the Company did not
incur any impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company depreciates its property and equipment
for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives
are as follows:
Building 40 years
Building improvements 15 years
Machinery & equipment 5 years
Depreciation expense of property and equipment
was $ 47,576 , $ 95,152 , $ 68,416 and $ 125,510 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Patents
The Company capitalizes external costs, such as
filing fees and associated attorney fees, incurred to obtain issued patents. The Company’s intangible assets consist of capitalized
costs for unissued patents and issued patents. Issued patents are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Successful patent efforts
are amortized over the life of the patent, and unsuccessful efforts are expensed. The issued patents are being amortized over a useful
life of 20 years. Amortization of the patent costs commences upon patent issuance.
Net unissued and issued patents were $ 1,153,709
and $ 839,560 as of June 30, 2025, respectively; and $1,110,815 and $862,014 as of December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company assesses
the carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment each year and when indicators exist that there could be an impairment.
Based on its assessments, the Company did not incur any impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024,
respectively.
Amortization expense of patents was $ 20,882 , $ 43,248 ,
$ 34,495 and $ 71,793 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Future amortization expense for the patents
over the next five years is anticipated to be approximately $ 83,528 per year.
Leases
The Company determines whether an arrangement
is a lease at inception. For leases where the Company is the lessee, right-of-use assets are recognized as the lease liability, adjusted
for lease incentives received and prepayments made. Lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of remaining lease payments over
the lease term. When the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate
based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating lease
expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less are not recorded
on the condensed consolidated and combined balance sheet.
The Company has elected the short-term lease practical
expedient under ASC 842, applying it consistently to all leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, which are excluded from the
condensed consolidated and combined balance sheet. Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease
term. The Company had no right-of-use assets or lease liabilities recorded on its condensed consolidated and combined balance sheets as
of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
11
Foreign Operations
The functional currency of Solidion’s Taiwan
subsidiary is the New Taiwan Dollar. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) 830, Foreign Currency Matters , the financial statements of the Company’s Taiwan subsidiary are translated to U.S. dollars
using the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates for assets and liabilities, the historical exchange rate for stockholders’ equity
accounts and a weighted average exchange rate for revenue, expenses and gains or losses. Foreign currency translation adjustments are
accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ deficit until the foreign business is sold or substantially liquidated. Foreign
currency translation adjustments for the periods presented in these financial statements were not material.
During prior reporting periods, the Company’s
research and development facility in Taiwan — operating as an extension of the Dayton, Ohio R&D team and focused on silicon
anode technology advancement — represented $ 5,400 and $ 18,290 of total assets and $ 20,000 and $ 22,053 of total liabilities as of
June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025,
the Company ceased research and development operations at its Taiwan location. The results of operations for this location were immaterial
to the Company’s condensed consolidated and combined financial statements for all periods presented. No material exit or disposal
costs were incurred in connection with the shutdown.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when a performance obligation
has been satisfied by transferring control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. Revenues are recognized at a point in time when control transfers to customers,
which is generally determined when title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer.
Research and Development
All research and development costs are expensed
as incurred.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses represent
costs incurred by the Company in managing the business, including salary, benefits, stock-based compensation, sales, insurance, professional
fees and other operating costs associated with the Company’s non-research and development activities.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has an incentive equity plan, (“2023
Equity Incentive Plan”). Under the terms of the plan, Solidion’s employees, consultants and directors, and employees and consultants
of its affiliates, may be eligible to receive awards in the form of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) to employees and for
the grant of non-statutory stock options (“NSOs”), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock
unit awards, performance awards and other forms of stock awards to employees, directors and consultants.
The number of shares of common stock initially
reserved for issuance under the incentive plan is 190,000 . Shares subject to stock awards granted under the incentive plan that expire
or terminate without being exercised in full, or that are paid out in cash rather than in shares, will not reduce the number of shares
available for issuance under the incentive plan. The incentive plan also includes an evergreen provision that provides for an automatic
annual increase to the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the incentive plan on the first day of each
fiscal year beginning with the 2024 fiscal year, equal to the least of (i) 190,000 shares of common stock, (ii) 5 % of the
total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of the last day of our immediately preceding fiscal year, or (iii) such
lesser amount determined by the plan administrator.
12
The Company measures stock options and restricted
stock unit awards granted to employees, non-employees, and directors based on the fair value on the date of the grant and recognizes compensation
expense of those awards, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. Options granted
under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan vest at the rate specified in the stock option agreement as determined by the plan administrator.
The plan administrator determines the term of stock options granted under the incentive plan, up to a maximum of ten years. Forfeitures
are accounted for as they occur.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation
in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock units is measured
based on the grant-date fair value of the awards and recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting
period. The Company has elected to use the accelerated attribution method, under which each vesting tranche of an award is treated as
a separate award and expensed over its respective vesting period. Compensation expense is recognized only for those awards expected to
vest, with forfeitures estimated at the grant date and adjusted prospectively, if necessary.
The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated
on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company lacks a sufficient history of company-specific historical
and implied volatility information for its common stock. The Company therefore estimates its expected stock price volatility based on
the historical volatility of publicly traded peer companies and expects to continue to do so until such time as it has adequate historical
data regarding the volatility of its own traded stock price.
The expected term of all of the Company’s
stock options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference
to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term
of the award. Expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends on its common stock and does
not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method
of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “ Income Taxes .” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply
to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances
are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and
a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions 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.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.
Net Income (Loss) per Common Stock
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure
requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “ Earnings Per Share. ” Net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by
dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share of common stock
does not include potentially dilutive common stock equivalents if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive as of June 30, 2025 and 2024.
As such, net loss per common stock is the same for basic and diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The following table presents potentially dilutive common stock equivalents
that have been excluded from the calculation of dilutive loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as their inclusion would

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in financial institutions, which, at times, may exceed the Federal
Depository Insurance Coverage of $ 250,000 . The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would
be received for sale of an asset or paid to transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. US GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy
gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and
the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). See Note 13.
Equity-Linked Instruments
The Company evaluates all equity-linked contracts,
including warrants and the Forward Purchase Agreement (“FPA”), to determine classification as either equity or liability in
accordance with FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), and FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging
(“ASC 815”). This assessment considers whether the instruments meet the fixed-for-fixed equity classification criteria and
whether any provisions require liability treatment, including potential “net cash settlement” outside of the Company’s
control. Instruments that qualify for equity classification are recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital, while those requiring
liability classification are measured at fair value, with subsequent changes recorded in earnings. This assessment is conducted at the
time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the FPA and warrants are outstanding.
14
Warrants
For issued or modified warrants that meet all
of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the
time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required
to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. The Company accounts for the
outstanding public warrants and private placement warrants (“Private Warrants”) issued in connection with Nubia’s initial
public offering in 2022 as equity-classified instruments under ASC 815-40 since they qualify as being indexed to the company’s own
stock for equity classification criteria and do not contain provisions that would require liability classification.
The Company accounts for the outstanding Series
A, Series B, Series C, and Series D warrants issued in connection with the March and August 2024 private placement financings (the “PIPE
Warrants”) as liability-classified instruments because certain settlement adjustments prevent them from meeting the fixed-for-fixed
equity classification criteria under ASC 815-40. The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of the
PIPE Warrants. The resulting fair value is recorded as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated and combined balance sheets,
and with changes in the fair value of the PIPE Warrants recorded as a non-cash other income (expense) within change in fair value of
derivative liabilities account on the Company’s condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations.
Forward Purchase Agreement
The Company accounts for the FPA as either equity-classified
or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the FPA specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480,
and FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the FPA is a freestanding
financial instrument pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the FPA meets all of the
requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the FPA is indexed to the Company’s own common shares and
whether the FPA holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control,
among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment is conducted at the time of FPA issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly
period end date while the FPA is outstanding.
For issued or modified FPA that meets all of the
criteria for equity classification, the FPA is required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance.
For issued or modified FPA that does not meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the FPA is required to be recorded at fair
value on the date of issuance and revalued at each balance sheet date thereafter. The Company accounts for the FPA as a liability-classified
instrument due to the settlement provisions. The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of the FPA.
The resulting fair value is recorded as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated and combined balance sheets. The Company
records changes in the fair value of the FPA as a non-cash other income (expense) within change in fair value of derivative liabilities
account on the Company’s condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations.

Reverse Stock Split
On May 12, 2025, the Company
effected a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of its common stock. As a result, each 50 shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the reverse split were converted into one share of common stock. Additionally, this transaction resulted in a reclassification
of $ 13,311 from common stock to additional paid-in capital during the period ended March 31, 2025. The reverse stock split did not change
the total number of authorized shares or the par value of the common stock. During the three month period ended June 30, 2025, the Company
paid cash of approximately $ 460 to shareholders in lieu of issuing fractional shares.
In accordance
with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 4C, all share and per-share amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
and notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In November
2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment
Disclosures,” to enhance disclosures for significant segment expenses for all public entities required to report segment information
in accordance with ASC 280. The standard did not change the definition of a segment, the method for determining segments or the criteria
for aggregating operating segments into reportable segments. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Retrospective adoption is required for all prior periods
presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted the amendment effective January 1, 2024 for annual reporting purposes. The
adoption did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.
15
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which requires disclosures 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 the fiscal year 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 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,
“Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income
Statement Expenses” to improve disclosures by providing more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented
expense captions. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard
will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
NOTE 4 — RECAPITALIZATION
As discussed in Note
1, the Merger was accounted for as a common control transaction with respect to HBC which is akin to a reverse recapitalization.
Transaction Proceeds
Upon the Closing, the
Company received net proceeds of $ 17,555 after deducting transaction costs. The following table reconciles the elements of the Merger
to the condensed consolidated and combined statements of cash flows and the condensed consolidated and combined statements of changes

IPO warrants
In connection with Nubia’s
initial public offering in 2022, 123,500 public warrants and 108,100 Private Warrants were issued, all of which remain outstanding and
became warrants for the Common stock in the Company. The Company evaluated the IPO warrants and determined that it is a freestanding equity-linked
contract within the scope of ASC 815-40. Based on this guidance, the Company concluded that the IPO warrants qualify for equity classification.
HBC Holdback Shares
The Company and G3 included
a provision in the Merger Agreement that adjusts the aggregate share consideration to be paid to the shareholders of HBC if the G3 Tax
Lien is not released prior to closing. Specifically, 4,000 shares of Solidion common stock, issuable to the HBC shareholders as part of
the Merger Consideration at or following closing, will depend on whether the G3 Tax Lien has been settled by G3 prior to closing. See
Note 6 for further discussion regarding Holdback Shares related to the G3 Tax Lien. As of the Merger closing and the three months ended
June 30, 2025, the G3 Tax Lien remained unresolved by G3, and the 4,000 holdback shares had not been issued as of June 30, 2025.
HBC Earnout Arrangement
As noted in Note 1, in
connection with the Merger, HBC shareholders are entitled to up to 450,000 shares if certain post merger per share market prices are achieved.
The Company evaluated the Earnout Arrangement and determined that it is a freestanding equity-linked contract within the scope of ASC
815-40. Based on this guidance, the Company concluded that the Earnout Arrangement qualifies for equity classification. As the merger
has been accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, the fair value of the Earnout Arrangement has been accounted for as an equity transaction
as of the Closing Date of the Merger. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation analysis to determine the fair value of the Earnout
Arrangement at the date of the merger, which included the following assumptions: stock price of $ 4.53 , risk free rate of 3.98 %, volatility
of 85 %, dividends yield of 0 % and duration of 4 years.
As of June 30, 2025, none of the Earnout Shares
had been earned by G3.
NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTIES
Capital Contributions from Global Graphene Group (“G3”)
G3, a significant shareholder of the Company, infused capital resources
into the business to cover operating expenses incurred prior to the close of the merger. The capital contributions from G3 included allocations
for payroll, rent and facility costs, and professional services. The total capital contributions from G3 amounted to $ 0 and $ 487,273 during
the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, respectively. No capital contributions were made during the corresponding periods in 2025.
Other Receivable
During the three months ended March 31, 2024,
the Company advanced $ 302,500 to G3 for transaction costs incurred during the Merger. The outstanding balance of other receivables amounted
to $ 302,500 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
17
Shared Services Agreement
Effective February 2, 2024, the Company entered into a shared services
agreement (the “SSA”) with G3, under which G3 agreed to provide certain services, including employees, office space and use
of equipment, and the Company agreed to pay for such services on a monthly basis. The SSA is subject to typical conditions and may be
terminated by either party upon written notice. The management and board continues to monitor the SSA and all other related party transactions
to uphold transparency and protect shareholder interests. Expenses incurred related to the SSA services were $ 60,692 , $ 123,280 , $ 45,269
and $ 76,521 , respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Expenses incurred related to the SSA employees were
$ 81,311 , $ 278,101 , $ 220,516 and $ 310,435 , respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. There were $ 49,189 and
$ 10,000 in amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Due to Related Party
During the merger closing process, G3 incurred
certain transaction expenses that were due to be reimbursed by the Company after the Closing Date, as per the Business Combination Agreement.
These expenses included legal, advisory and audit fees directly associated with facilitating the merger. The total amount due to G3 was
$ 879,985 as of the Closing Date. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company repaid the $ 879,985 due to G3.
Additionally, at the time of the merger close,
the Company had an outstanding payable related to the monthly administrative services support fees due to Mach FM Corp, an affiliate of
Mach FM Acquisitions LLC, the sponsor of Nubia. This fee covered office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support provided
by Mach FM to support Nubia’s operating activities. The outstanding balance payable to Mach FM amounted to $ 88,979 as of the Closing
Date.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, amounts
outstanding to G3 were $ 0 , and amounts outstanding to Mach FM Corp were $ 87,873 .
Contingent Consideration
At Closing, the G3 Tax Lien has not been settled
by G3 and as of June 30, 2025, the 4,000 Holdback Shares have not been issued. The contingent consideration represents a potential obligation
that would become released only upon G3 settling its G3 Tax Lien. See Note 4 further discussion regarding Holdback Shares related to the
G3 Tax Lien.
As of the Closing Date, the Company recorded a
fair value of $ 906,000 for the 4,000 Holdback Shares, which was accounted for as an equity transaction.
NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be involved
in lawsuits, claims or legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings related to the Company’s obligation to
register shares for public offering. The Company accrue a contingent liability when
it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that there are
no claims against us for which the outcome is expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
18
G3 Tax Lien
The Internal Revenue Service has placed a federal
tax lien on all the property and rights to property belonging to G3 which would include any proceeds from sale of property assets included
in the financial statements of the Company. The lien relates to unpaid federal income taxes for 2017. Inclusive of interest, the balance
owed is approximately $ 2,080,000 as of June 2025.
As disclosed in Note 3, the Company and G3 included
a provision in the Merger Agreement that adjusts the aggregate share consideration to be paid to the shareholders of HBC if the G3 Tax
Lien is not released prior to closing. Specifically, 4,000 shares of Solidion common stock, issuable to the HBC shareholders as part of
the Merger Consideration at or following closing, will depend on whether the G3 Tax Lien has been settled by G3 prior to closing. As of
the Merger closing and through June 30, 2025, the G3 Tax Lien remained unsettled by G3 and as of June 30, 2025, the 4,000
holdback shares have not been issued.
The G3 Tax Lien represents a potential obligation
that would become payable only upon the sale of the building. As the timing and likelihood of such a sale are uncertain and there are
no immediate plans to sell, the Company has not recorded a liability on the balance sheet for this contingent obligation. Should the Company
decide to sell the building in the future, this lien may need to be settled from the proceeds of the sale, which could impact the net
cash inflow from such a transaction. The Company will continue to monitor the situation and will recognize a liability in the financial
statements if and when it becomes probable that the building will be sold and the lien will need to be satisfied.
Registration Rights Agreement
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement,
dated August 30, 2024 (the “Agreement”), between the Company and the purchasers of privately placed securities (the “Purchasers”),
the Company was obligated, among other things, to file a registration statement to register the resale of such securities and to have
the Securities and Exchange Commission declare the registration statement effective by certain deadlines specified in the Agreement. As
of June 30, 2025, the Company had not met these deadlines. As a result, the Company recorded an expense within Selling, General, and
Administrative Expenses on its consolidated and combined statements of operations of $ 0 and $ 160,000 during the three and six months ended June 30,
2025. The total liquidated damages are limited to approximately $400,000 plus interest calculated in accordance with the Agreement.
NOTE 7 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 2,000,000 shares
of preferred stock with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no shares of preferred
stock issued or outstanding.
19
Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 300,000,000
shares of common stock with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of June
30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, there were 2,716,794 and 2,633,956 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.
Equity Financing
On March 13, 2024, Solidion entered into a private
placement transaction (the “March Private Placement”), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “March Subscription
Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $ 3,850,000 . The
issuance costs associated with the March Private Placement, including fees to the placement agent and other expenses, totaled $ 522,867 ,
of which $ 262,064 was allocated to the issuance of March Private Placement common stock and $ 260,803 was allocated to the issuance of
series A and B warrants. The March Private Placement closed on March 15, 2024.
As part of the March Private Placement, the Company
issued an aggregate of 102,667 units and pre-funded units (collectively, the “Units”) at a purchase price of $ 37.50 per unit
(less $ 0.0001 per pre-funded unit). Each Unit consists of (i) one share of Solidion Common Stock, (ii) two Series A warrants (“Series
A Warrants”) each to purchase one share of Common Stock, and (iii) one Series B warrant (“Series B Warrants”) to purchase
such number of shares of Common Stock as determined on the reset date, and in accordance with the terms therein.
On August 30, 2024, the Company entered into a
private placement transaction (the “August Private Placement”), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “August
Subscription Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $ 4,000,000 .
The issuance costs associated with the August Private Placement, including fees to the placement agent and other expenses, totaled $ 380,001 ,
of which $ 157,435 was allocated to the issuance of August Private Placement common stock and $ 222,566 was allocated to the issuance of
Series C and D warrants. The August Private Placement closed on September 5, 2024. The Company used the net proceeds from the August Private
Placement for working capital and general corporate purposes.
As part of the August Private Placement, the Company
issued an aggregate of 244,349 units and pre-funded units (collectively, the “Units”) at a purchase price of $ 16.37 per unit.
Each Unit consists of (i) one share of common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share of the Company (the “Common Stock”) (or one
pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”)), (ii) two Series C warrants each to purchase
one share of Common Stock (the “Series C Warrant”) and (iii) one Series D warrant to purchase such number of shares of Common
Stock as determined on the Reset Date (as defined below), and in accordance with the terms therein (the “Series D Warrant”
and together with the Pre-Funded Warrant and the Series C Warrant, the “Warrants”).
The Company accounts for the outstanding PIPE
Warrants as liability-classified instruments because certain settlement adjustments prevent them from meeting the fixed-for-fixed equity
classification criteria under ASC 815-40. The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of the PIPE
Warrants. The resulting fair value is recorded as a Derivative liability on the condensed consolidated and combined balance sheets, and
records changes in the fair value of the PIPE Warrants as a non-cash other income (expense) within Change in fair value of derivatives
account on the Company’s condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations.

NOTE 8 — WARRANTS
IPO Warrants – Public Warrants
In connection with Nubia’s initial public
offering in 2022, 123,500 public warrants were issued, entitling holders to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of
$ 575.00 per share, subject to adjustment. Only whole warrants may be exercised. The warrants expire five years after the completion of
the Company’s initial business combination, February 2, 2029.
The Company is not obligated to issue shares upon
warrant exercise unless a registration statement covering the underlying shares is effective. If a registration statement is not effective,
holders may exercise warrants on a cashless basis under certain conditions. The Company may redeem the warrants at $ 0.50 per warrant,
with at least 30 days’ prior notice, if the common stock trades at or above $ 900.00 per share for 20 trading days within a 30 -day
period after the warrants become exercisable. Adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise and the exercise price may occur
in the event of stock splits, dividends, reorganizations, or similar events. Warrants do not provide voting rights or shareholder privileges
until exercised. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise.
The Company evaluated the public warrants and
determined that it is a freestanding equity-linked contract within the scope of ASC 815-40. Based on this guidance, the Company concluded
that the IPO warrants qualify for equity classification.
IPO Warrants – Private Warrants
In connection with Nubia’s initial public
offering in 2022, 108,100 Private Warrants were issued.
Except as described below, the Private Warrants
have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise
period. The Private Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and will not be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the
holders of the private warrants or their permitted transferees. The holders of the Private Warrants or their permitted transferees have
the option to exercise the private warrants on a cashless basis. If the Private Warrants are held by holders other than the holders of
the Private Warrants and their permitted transferees, the Private warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on
the same basis as the warrants included in the units being sold in the Company’s initial public offering.
If exercised on a cashless basis, holders will
receive shares of common stock based on the difference between the warrant exercise price and the fair market value of the stock. Fair
market value is determined as the average last sale price of the common stock over the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day
before the exercise notice date. The reason that The Company have agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so
long as they are held by the holders of the Private Warrants and their permitted transferees is because it is not known at this time whether
they will be affiliated with us following an initial business combination. If they remain affiliated with us, their ability to sell the
Company’s securities in the open market will be significantly limited. The Company has policies in place that prohibit insiders
from selling the Company’s securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time when insiders will
be permitted to sell the Company’s securities, an insider cannot trade in the Company’s securities if he or she is in possession
of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public stockholders who typically could sell the shares of common stock issuable
upon exercise of the warrants freely in the open market, the insiders could be significantly restricted from doing so. As a result, The
Company believes that allowing the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.
In addition, holders of the Company’s Private
Warrants are entitled to certain registration rights.
The Company evaluated the Private Warrants and
determined that it is a freestanding equity-linked contract within the scope of ASC 815-40. Based on this guidance, the Company concluded
that the Private Warrants qualify for equity classification.
Series A and Series B Warrants
The Series A and Series B Warrants issued in conjunction
with the March Private Placement were determined to be liability classified in accordance with ASC 815 and have been recognized at fair
value upon issuance, with remeasurement in each subsequent period. As such, on the date of issuance the Company allocated the proceeds
between the common stock, Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants first to the fair value of the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants,
which were recorded as a liability.
The Company used a Monte Carlo analysis to determine
the fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance on March 15, 2024 and as of the reporting date. The total fair value of the Series
A Warrants and Series B Warrants measured at issuance was $ 12,656,550 and $ 82,450 , respectively, which exceeded the total gross proceeds
from the March Private Placement of $ 3,850,000 . As the fair value of the derivative liability exceeded the proceeds on the day of issuance,
the difference was recorded as a loss from issuance of stock and warrants of $ 17,820,998 .
21
The fair value of the Series A and Series B Warrants as of June 30,
2025, was $ 527,100 and $ 0 , respectively. The Company recorded non-cash gains from changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities
related to the Series A and Series B Warrants of $ 162,400 and $ 4,428,200 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively,
compared to $ 9,141,900 and $ 710,050 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, 289,613 Series A Warrants and
114,992 Series B Warrants were exercised, resulting in the issuance of 404,605 common shares. As of June 30, 2025, 153,221 Series A Warrants
and no Series B Warrants remained outstanding.
Series C and Series D Warrants
The Series C and Series
D Warrants issued in conjunction with the August Private Placement were determined to be liability classified in accordance with ASC 815
and have been recognized at fair value upon issuance, with remeasurement in each subsequent period. As such, on the date of issuance the
Company allocated the proceeds between the common stock, Series C Warrants and Series D Warrants first to the fair value of the Series
C Warrants and Series D Warrants, which were recorded as a liability.
The Company used a Monte Carlo analysis to determine
the fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance on August 30, 2024 and as of the reporting date. The total fair value of the Series
C Warrants and Series D Warrants measured at issuance was $ 8,114,650 and $ 1,540,150 , respectively, which exceeded the total gross proceeds
from the August Private Placement of $ 4,000,000 . As the fair value of the derivative liability exceeded the proceeds on the day of issuance,
the difference was recorded as a loss from issuance of stock and warrants of $ 9,654,799 .
The fair value of the Series C Warrants and Series D Warrants as of
June 30, 2025 was $ 7,037,100 and $ 2,493,900 , respectively, resulting in a gain of $ 1,500,300 and $ 4,382,250 during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2025, respectively. There were no Series C Warrants and Series D Warrants exercised as of June 30, 2025.
NOTE 9 — FORWARD PURCHASE AGREEMENT,
NON REDEMPTION AGREEMENT AND PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING
Forward Purchase Agreement
On December 13, 2023, Nubia entered into the FPA
with Meteora Capital Partners, LP, Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP, and Meteora Strategic Capital, LLC (collectively,
the “Seller” or “Forward Purchase Investors”). For purposes of the FPA, Nubia is referred to as the “Counterparty”
prior to the consummation of the Merger, while Solidion Technology, Inc. (“Pubco”) is referred to as the “Counterparty”
after the consummation of the Merger. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in the FPA previously filed with the SEC.
Pursuant to the terms
of the Forward Purchase Agreement, Seller intends, but is not obligated, to, concurrently with the Closing pursuant to Seller’s
FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement, purchase up to 9.9 % of the total Class A ordinary shares, par value $ 0.0001 per share
(“Additional Shares”) outstanding following the closing of the Merger, as calculated by Seller (the “Purchased Amount”),
less the number of NUBI Shares purchased by Seller separately from third parties through a broker in the open market (“Recycled
Shares”). Seller will not be required to purchase an amount of NUBI Shares such that, following such purchase, that Seller’s
ownership would exceed 9.9 % of the total NUBI Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such purchase, unless Seller, at its
sole discretion, waives such 9.9 % ownership limitation. The Number of Shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement is subject to reduction
following a termination of the Forward Purchase Agreement with respect to such shares as described under “Optional Early Termination”
in the Forward Purchase Agreement.
The FPA provides for
a prepayment shortfall equal to 0.50 % of the product of Recycled Shares and the Initial Price. The Seller may conduct Shortfall Sales
at its discretion to recover this shortfall without triggering early termination obligations. The Prepayment Amount payable to the Seller
is calculated based on the number of shares purchased and the redemption price, less any prepayment shortfall, and is funded from the
Counterparty’s Trust Account. Additionally, up to 4,000 shares may be purchased at the Initial Price.
Following the Closing,
the reset price (the “Reset Price”) was initially the Initial Price. The Reset Price will be subject to reset on a bi-weekly
basis commencing the first week following the thirtieth day after the closing of the Merger to be the lowest of (a) the then current Reset
Price, (b) the Initial Price and (c) the VWAP Price of the Shares of the prior two weeks; provided the Reset Price shall be subject to
reduction upon a Dilutive Offering Reset immediately upon the occurrence of such Dilutive Offering. The Seller also retains the right
to terminate part or all of the transaction through Optional Early Termination (OET) by providing notice, with corresponding payment obligations
based on the Reset Price.
22
The Valuation Date for
settlement occurs at the earlier of three years post-Merger, specified adverse events (e.g., delisting or registration failure), or at
the Seller’s discretion. Upon settlement, adjustments may be made in cash or shares, depending on the circumstances.
The Seller has waived
redemption rights for Recycled Shares, which may impact the overall redemption levels and market perception of the Merger. The FPA complies
with tender offer regulations, including Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On February 2, 2024, upon consummation of the
Merger, NUBI made a payment to each Forward Purchase Investor in respect of their respective Recycled Shares. This payment totaled 147
shares and included a cash payment of $ 80,241 released from the trust account. The payment was calculated as an amount equal to (a) the
number of Recycled Shares multiplied by the redemption price per share (the “Initial Price”) as defined in Section 9.2(b)
of NUBI’s Certificate of Incorporation, effective as of March 10, 2023, as amended from time to time (the “Certificate of
Incorporation”), less (b) the prepayment Shortfall. Additionally, on February 2, 2024, NUBI made a payment to Forward Purchase Investors
of $ 2,193,800 from the trust account as reimbursement for the 147 consideration shares.
On January 17, 2024, the Company received a Pricing
Date Notice from the Forward Purchase Investors specifying 116,771 Additional Shares. On March 22, 2024, the Company received an amended
Pricing Date Notice revising the total number of Additional Shares to 160,771 . On June 11, 2024 the Company received an amended Pricing
Date Notice revising the total number of Additional Shares to 190,860 . On August 29, 2024, the Additional Shares were issued to the Forward
Purchase Investors.
The Company accounts for the FPA as a liability-classified
instrument due to the settlement provisions. The resulting fair value is recorded as a derivative liability on the consolidated balance
sheets. The Company records changes in the fair value of the FPA as a non-cash other income (expense) within change in fair value of derivatives
account on the Company’s consolidated and combined statements of operations.
The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the
fair value of the FPA, comprising Recycled Shares of 147 and Additional Shares of 190,860 , totaling 191,007 shares (the “FPA Shares”)
as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The model estimated the total present value of the Company’s proceeds at $ 2,811 and the
total present value of the Company’s liability at $ 755,425 , resulting in a net liability of approximately $ 752,600 as of June 30,
2025. As a result, the Company recognized non-cash gains from changes in the fair value of derivatives of $ 381,800 and $ 5,651,500 for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $ 15,824,800 and $ 16,074,150 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2024.
FPA amendment and resolution of lawsuit
On July 16, 2024, the Forward Purchase Investors
brought a lawsuit against Solidion in Delaware Chancery Court seeking specific performance and monetary damages related to the FPA.
On August 29, 2024, the Company and the Seller
entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the FPA. The Amendment includes modifications to several terms, including:
● Prepayment Shortfall: Expanded to allow the Company to request additional funds in increments of $ 500,000 , subject to specified conditions.
● Prepayment Shortfall Consideration: Seller may now sell Additional Shares and Recycled Shares at any price, without an Early Termination Obligation, until sale proceeds reach 120 % of the Prepayment Shortfall.
●
Shortfall Sales: The Company agrees not to issue or sell additional shares or convertible securities without Seller’s consent until specific conditions are met.
●
Shortfall Variance: If a shortfall occurs, the Company must either pay the Shortfall Variance in cash or issue additional shares to the Seller.
● Share Consideration: Seller is entitled to designate 57,000 common shares as (“Share Consideration”)
● VWAP Trigger Event: Defined as occurring if the VWAP Price falls below $ 100.00 per share for 10 trading days within a 30-day period.
In addition, upon execution of the Amendment,
the Seller agreed to temporarily forbear from exercising any rights under the Forward Purchase Agreement related to certain valuation
events, including a Shortfall Variance Registration Failure, VWAP Trigger Event, or Registration Failure (collectively, “Valuation
Date Events”), during the period from the Pricing Date through December 31, 2024 (the “Standstill Period”). After the
Standstill Period, if any Valuation Date Events have occurred, the Seller’s rights under the agreement will be reinstated.
Additionally, the Company agreed to file a registration
statement within 20 business days of the Amendment to register the resale of the Additional Shares and Share Consideration (collectively,
the “Meteora Shares”). The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective
within 60 calendar days of the Amendment. No other shares may be registered before the Meteora Shares, though they may be registered concurrently
in the same resale registration statement.
23
Further, the Amendment restricts the Seller from
selling more than 10 % of the daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock until 30 days after the effectiveness of the resale
registration statement, except on days when trading volume exceeds 140,000 shares.
Finally, concurrently with the execution of the
Amendment, the Company and the Seller agreed to sign and cause to be filed a joint stipulation for dismissal with prejudice of the Action
(as defined below) (the “Stipulation”). The Stipulation provides that the Company issue 247,860 Solidion common shares, consisting
of the Additional shares of 190,860 and the Share Consideration of 57,000 shares to the Seller within five business days of the entry
of the Stipulation. In consideration for the Stipulation, the Company agreed to pay Seller’s reasonable and documented attorney’s
fees related to this Action in an amount up to $ 65,000 . “Action” means (i) the Complaint for Specific Performance and Money
Damages filed July 16, 2024 thereby initiating Case No. 2024-0752-LWW Meteora Capital Partners, LP v. Solidion Technology, Inc. in the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Chancery Court”) and (ii) the Motion for Default Judgment filed
by Seller related to such complaint on August 13, 2024. On September 9, 2024, the Company and the Seller filed the Stipulation in Delaware
Chancery Court.
On August 29, 2024, the Company issued 247,860
Meteora Shares of its common stock to the Forward Purchase Investors.
The Company recorded an expense within Selling,
General, and Administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations of $ 1,026,000
based on the stock price on the date of the amendment during the three months ended September 30, 2024 for the Consideration Shares of
57,000 Solidion common shares issued in connection with the forbearance and FPA amendment.
Non-Redemption Agreement
On December 13, 2023, NUBI entered into a non-redemption agreement
(the “Non-Redemption Agreement”) with certain investors named therein (each, a “Backstop Investor”), each acting
on behalf of certain funds, investors, entities or accounts that are managed, sponsored or advised by each such Backstop Investor or its
affiliates. Pursuant to each Non-Redemption Agreement, each Backstop Investor agreed that, on or prior to Closing, it will beneficially
own not greater than the lesser of (i) that number of Backstop Shares set forth in the Non-Redemption Agreement and (ii) the total number
of NUBI Shares beneficially owned by Backstop Investor and its affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of NUBI Shares
would be aggregated with those of Backstop Investor for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 not exceeding
9.99 % of the total number of issued and outstanding NUBI Shares, and shall not elect to redeem or otherwise tender or submit for redemption
any of such Backstop Shares in connection with the second special meeting of NUBI stockholders to be held for the purpose of approving
the Merger (the “Second Special Meeting”); provided, however, that in the event Backstop Investor has previously elected to
redeem, tender or submit any Backstop Shares for redemption, Backstop Investor shall rescind or reverse such redemption request prior
to Closing and NUBI shall accept such request(s) promptly once submitted by Backstop Investor.
On February 2, 2024,
upon the consummation of the Merger, NUBI paid each Backstop Investor a cash discount payment from the proceeds remaining in trust account
for their respective Backstop Shares as part of the Non-Redemption Agreement. The discount payment amount was calculated as the product
of (x) the number of Backstop Shares and (y) the Redemption Price, less $ 200.00 . The total number of Backstop Shares was 40,000 , and the
adjusted Redemption Price was $ 548.50 per share. In total, $ 13,937,998 was released from the trust account and paid to the Backstop Investors.

NOTE 11 — INCOME TAXES
The Company provides
for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between
the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that
some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had a full valuation
allowance against its deferred tax assets.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company utilized
the annualized effective tax rate method and recorded zero income tax expense based on a zero effective tax rate. No tax benefit or expense
has been recorded in relation to the pre-tax income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and three months ended June 30, 2024,
and pre-tax losses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to a full valuation allowance to offset any deferred tax assets.

NOTE 13 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for
its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period and non-financial assets
and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
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.
The following table presents information about
the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and indicates the fair value
hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Overview
Solidion Technology, Inc. is an advanced battery
technology company focused on the development and commercialization of next-generation battery materials, components, and energy storage
solutions. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with research and development (R&D) and manufacturing operations in Dayton, Ohio, Solidion
is dedicated to transforming the energy storage landscape by addressing key limitations in current lithium-ion and emerging battery technologies.
The Company specializes in high-performance silicon-rich
anode materials, solid-state battery technology, and fire-retardant electrolytes, aiming to enhance the energy density, safety, and cost-effectiveness
of lithium-ion batteries. Solidion’s proprietary innovations include graphene-enabled batteries, elastomer-protected electrodes,
quasi-solid and solid-state electrolytes, and biochar-derived anode materials, providing sustainable and scalable solutions for the electric
vehicle (EV), energy storage system (ESS), and consumer electronics markets.
Solidion holds an extensive intellectual property
(IP) portfolio with over 525 active patents (pending and granted) globally, positioning the Company as a leader in silicon anode and solid-state
battery technology. Its innovative silane-free production processes for silicon-based anode materials allow for lower manufacturing costs
and improved scalability. Additionally, its fire-retardant and polymer-based electrolytes enable safer, high-energy-density batteries
compatible with existing lithium-ion cell production infrastructure.
A key milestone in Solidion’s technological
advancements is the successful development of a high-energy cylindrical cell, which achieves an exceptional energy density of 305 Wh/kg,
significantly higher than conventional lithium-ion batteries, which typically range between 240-260 Wh/kg. This innovation not only enhances
the range and performance of EVs but also underscores Solidion’s ability to deliver cutting-edge solutions for high-energy and high-power
applications.
The Company has established strategic partnerships
with leading industry players, including Giga Solar Materials Corp. and Bluestar Materials Company, to advance the production and commercialization
of silicon oxide (SiOx) anode materials in the U.S. These collaborations, along with Solidion’s ongoing engagement with EV original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and toll-manufacturing partners, position the Company to accelerate the adoption of its next-generation
battery solutions.
On November 14, 2024, we adopted a strategic Bitcoin
allocation policy for our Corporate Treasury. As part of this strategy, Solidion is committed to leveraging Bitcoin as a long-term store
of value. The Company will allocate excess cash from operations toward Bitcoin purchases, subject to board approval. Additionally, interest
earnings from cash held in money market accounts will be converted into Bitcoin. The Company also plans to allocate a portion of future
capital raises to Bitcoin acquisitions, demonstrating a sustained commitment to integrating Bitcoin into its financial strategy. For fiscal
year 2024, the Company did not identify excess cash from operations for Bitcoin purchases. Additionally, $13,806 generated in interest
income earnings during fiscal year 2024 have been designated for Bitcoin purchases in fiscal year 2025 as part of the ongoing treasury
strategy. The Company did not conduct any capital raise activities between the date of its announcement and the end of the reporting period
and, as a result, did not allocate any proceeds toward Bitcoin purchases. Looking ahead, during fiscal year 2025, Solidion anticipates
capital raises that will include allocation of a portion of proceeds to Bitcoin acquisitions.
Solidion is committed to advancing battery technology
through continuous R&D efforts, expanding manufacturing capabilities, and optimizing supply chain sustainability. By integrating cutting-edge
materials and scalable production methods, Solidion aims to deliver high-performance, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable
battery solutions that address the increasing demand for electrified mobility and renewable energy storage.

Our Products
Anode Materials Our product portfolio
includes graphite-based anode materials, distinguished by our commitment to utilizing raw materials from sustainable sources. As part
of our efforts to contribute to the goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, we are scrutinizing our entire supply chain to
identify opportunities for reducing environmental impacts. Graphite, a critical component in rechargeable batteries due to its longevity
and cost-efficiency, is traditionally derived from petroleum coke and pitch. Solidion’s innovative approach introduces biochar produced
from waste biomass as an alternative feedstock. This sustainable process not only sequesters carbon but may also result in carbon-negative
production. By leveraging biochar, Solidion aims to produce anode-grade graphite with exceptional performance. By the end of 2024, Solidion’s
anode materials containing biochar-derived materials have achieved a capacity of over 340 mAh/g and comparable cycle life to conventional
graphite anodes, marking a significant step towards more environmentally responsible battery manufacturing. Solidion has also developed
a series of silicon and SiOx anode materials that enable a significantly higher energy density (for example, an expected 20-30% increase
in the EV driving range) likely at a reduction in the cell cost in terms of U.S. dollars per kilowatt hour (“kWh”) when production
in scale occurs. The specific capacity of these products range from 1,300 to 2,800 mAh/g aiming to suit different applications including
EV, energy storage stations, drones, and consumer electronics.
Battery Cells To rigorously validate
the performance of its innovative anode materials, Solidion is actively engaged in the development and testing of a diverse portfolio
of battery cells. By the close of 2024, Solidion, in collaboration with strategic partners, has successfully constructed and evaluated
over three distinct types of cylindrical cells, each featuring either our advanced silicon (Si) or graphite-based anodes. These cells
showcase a wide range of capabilities, with capacities spanning from 4.6 to an impressive 5.5Ah.
Notably, our high-energy 5.5Ah 21700 cylindrical
cell represents a significant leap forward in battery technology. This cell not only achieves an exceptional energy density of 305 Wh/kg,
surpassing the typical 240-260 Wh/kg offered by established Asian manufacturers in the same high-energy category, but also delivers superior
power performance. It boasts a continuous charging and discharging capability exceeding 2C, a substantial improvement over the performance
less than 1C typically seen in competitor products. This combination of high energy density and robust power handling makes our 5.5Ah
cell ideally suited for applications demanding both sustained energy delivery and moderate to high power output, such as advanced electric
vehicles and high-performance portable electronics.
Furthermore, Solidion is actively developing cell
variants tailored for applications requiring even higher power capabilities. These cells have already demonstrated impressive fast-charging
capabilities, exceeding 3C, enabling rapid replenishment of energy and minimizing downtime. This focus on high-power cells underscores
our commitment to addressing the diverse needs of the evolving energy storage market.
Beyond anode advancements, Solidion is also pioneering
the development of next-generation electrolytes. As previously mentioned, we have successfully formulated fire-retardant and quasi-solid
electrolytes, demonstrating their performance through the construction of small prototype cells. These electrolytes represent a significant
step towards enhancing battery safety, a critical consideration in today’s demanding applications. Looking ahead, Solidion intends
to scale up production of these electrolyte-based cells, manufacturing larger format cells in common practical sizes. This initiative
will not only validate the performance of our advanced electrolytes in real-world scenarios but also pave the way for the development
of safer and more reliable energy storage solutions. By integrating our innovative anode materials with these advanced electrolytes, Solidion
is poised to deliver a new generation of high-performance, safe, and sustainable batteries. The development of larger cells with advanced
electrolytes is scheduled to conclude in 2025.
Recent Developments
Honeycomb Battery Company Merger
On February 2, 2024, Nubia Brand International
Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Nubia” and after the Transactions described herein, “Solidion” or “Solidion
Technology, Inc.”), consummated a merger (the “Closing”) pursuant to a Merger Agreement, dated February 16, 2023 (as
amended on August 25, 2023, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Nubia, Honeycomb Battery Company, an Ohio corporation (“HBC”),
and Nubia Merger Sub, Inc., an Ohio corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Nubia (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into HBC (the “Merger,” and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the
“Transactions”), with HBC surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Nubia, which was renamed “Solidion Technology,
Inc.” upon Closing.
We received net proceeds from the Merger totaling
$17,555. The Company is applying the proceeds from the Merger toward its corporate growth strategy related to the commercialization of
our battery technology and the scaling of its manufacturing operations.
Equity Financing
On March 13, 2024, Solidion entered into a private
placement transaction (the “March Private Placement”), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “March Subscription
Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,850,000, before
deducting fees to the placement agent and other expenses payable by the Company in connection with the March Private Placement. The net
proceeds from the March Private Placement were used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The March Private Placement closed
on March 15, 2024.
32
As part of the March Private Placement, the Company
issued an aggregate of 102,667 units and pre-funded units (collectively, the “Units”) at a purchase price of $37.50 per unit
(less $0.0050 per pre-funded unit). Each Unit consists of (i) one share of Solidion Common Stock, (ii) two Series A warrants (“Series
A Warrants”) each to purchase one share of Common Stock, and (iii) one Series B warrant (“Series B Warrants”) to purchase
such number of shares of Common Stock as determined on the reset date, and in accordance with the terms therein.
The reset period ended
on July 2, 2024 (the “Reset Date”), with the lowest 10-day VWAP on June 28, 2024, being $0.4347. Consequently, the reset price
was established at $17.39. As a result, the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants held by investors were reset to 442,834 shares and
114,992 shares, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, investors had exercised 289,613 Series A Warrants and 114,992 Series B Warrants, resulting
in the issuance of 404,605 common shares. As of June 30, 2025, 153,221 Series A Warrants and no Series B Warrants remained outstanding.
On August 30, 2024, the Company entered into a
private placement transaction (the “August Private Placement”), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “August
Subscription Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,000,000,
before deducting fees to the placement agent and other expenses payable by the Company in connection with the August Private Placement.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the August Private Placement for working capital and general corporate purposes.
As part of the August Private Placement, the Company
issued an aggregate of 244,349 units and pre-funded units (collectively, the “Units”) at a purchase price of $16.37 per unit.
Each Unit consists of (i) one share of common stock, par value $0.0050 per share of the Company (the “Common Stock”) (or one
pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”)), (ii) two Series C warrants each to purchase
one share of Common Stock (the “Series C Warrant”) and (iii) one Series D warrant to purchase such number of shares of Common
Stock as determined on the Reset Date (as defined in Note 10) and in accordance with the terms therein (the “Series D Warrant”
and together with the Pre-Funded Warrant and the Series C Warrant, the “Warrants”).
As of June 30, 2025, investors have not exercised
any Series C and Series D warrants.
The Company accounts for the outstanding Series
A, Series B, Series C, and Series D warrants issued in connection with the March and August 2024 private placement financings (the “PIPE
Warrants”) as liability-classified instruments because certain settlement adjustments prevent them from meeting the fixed-for-fixed
equity classification criteria under ASC 815-40.

35
Going Concern Considerations, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since Solidion’s inception, the Company
has experienced recurring net losses and has generated minimal sales. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern. Management’s ability to fund our operations and capital expenditures depends on our ability to raise
additional external capital. This is subject to our future operating performance and general economic, financial, competitive, legislative,
regulatory, and other conditions, some of which are beyond our control. We are currently engaged in discussions with various financing
counterparties to secure sufficient capital to meet our business needs for the foreseeable future. The Company plans to finance its operations
with proceeds from the sale of equity securities, government grants and loans, or debt; however, there is no assurance that management’s
plans to obtain additional debt, grants or equity financing will be successfully implemented or implemented on terms favorable to the
Company.
As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $106,539,088 .
Additionally, $1,400,717 in NUBI transaction costs incurred at the Closing Date in connection with the Merger remain outstanding and are
due within the next twelve months. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred losses
from operations totaling $4,919,793 and net cash used in operating activities of $3,255,997. We expect to continue to incur such losses
for at least the next twelve (12) months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At June 30, 2025, we have no obligations, assets
or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships
with unconsolidated 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 entered into
any non-financial agreements involving assets.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our financial
statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require our management to make estimates that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates, as well
as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. To the extent that there are material differences between
these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations would be affected. We base our estimates on our own
historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable after taking account of our circumstances and expectations
for the future based on available information. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis.
We consider an accounting
estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the
time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use
of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition
or results of operations. There are items within our financial statement that require estimation but are not deemed critical, as defined
above. There were no changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in the Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Forward Purchase Agreement
The Company accounts for the forward purchase
agreement as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the Forward Purchase Agreement (“FPA”)
specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC
480”), and FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the FPA
is a freestanding financial instrument pursuant to ASC 480, meets the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the FPA
meets all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the FPA is indexed to the Company’s own
common shares and whether the FPA holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the
Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment is conducted at the time of FPA issuance and
as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the FPA is outstanding.
For issued or modified FPA that meet all of the
criteria for equity classification, the FPA is required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance.
For issued or modified FPAs that do not meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the FPA are required to be recorded at their
initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. The Company accounts for outstanding FPA as liability-classified
instrument.
The fair value of the FPA is Level 3. The determination
of the fair value requires significant estimates and judgments. Please see Note 13 Fair Value Measurements to the financial statements
for the significant assumptions and estimates.
Changes in the significant assumptions and estimates
could materially impact the valuation and the amounts recorded in the financial statements.
36
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In November
2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment
Disclosures,” to enhance disclosures for significant segment expenses for all public entities required to report segment information
in accordance with ASC 280. The standard did not change the definition of a segment, the method for determining segments or the criteria
for aggregating operating segments into reportable segments. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Retrospective adoption is required for all prior periods
presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted the amendment effective January 1, 2024 for annual reporting purposes. The
adoption did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which requires disclosures 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 the fiscal year 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 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,
“Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income
Statement Expenses” to improve disclosures by providing more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented

Item 3. Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
This item is not applicable
as we are a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and
Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls
and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective as of June 30, 2025, because of certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as further described
below.
Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, our
management concluded that our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all
material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
37
Management’s Report on Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting
Material Weaknesses
A material weakness is a deficiency or combination
of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management identified deficiencies in the principles
associated with the control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information & communication, and monitoring components
of internal control, based on the criteria established by the COSO framework, that constitute material weaknesses, either individually
or in the aggregate as described below.
Control Environment : Solidion does not
maintain a sufficient complement of qualified technical accounting and financial reporting personnel to perform control activities, including
those related to complex and/or non-routine transactions. Additionally, Solidion did not implement sufficient segregation of duties within
its financial reporting function in order to demonstrate independence and proper oversight. This material weakness contributed to the
additional material weaknesses further described below.
Risk Assessment : Solidion did not design
and implement an effective risk assessment based on the criteria established in the COSO framework. A material weakness, either individually
or in the aggregate, was identified pertaining to (i) identifying, assessing, and communicating appropriate objectives; (ii) identifying
and analyzing risks to achieve these objectives; and (iii) implementing an effective risk assessment to identify and assess changes in
the business if such changes were to occur.
Control Activities : Solidion did not effectively
design and implement control activities to support the operating effectiveness of controls to prevent and detect potential material errors
based on the criteria established in the COSO framework. As a result, the following control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses,
individually or in the aggregate: (i) ineffective controls related to the review and approval of journal entries and reconciliations,
and (ii) a lack of appropriate accounting policies and procedures.
Information and Communication: We identified
control deficiencies that constitute material weaknesses, either individually or in the aggregate, related to (i) internal communication
of information, including objectives and responsibilities for internal control, necessary to support the functioning of internal control;
and (ii) communicating relevant information to external parties timely.
Monitoring: Solidion did not maintain effective
monitoring activities to determine whether the components of internal control over financial reporting were present and functioning based
on the criteria established in the COSO framework.
Remediation Plans and Status
We are committed to maintaining a strong internal
control environment and implementing measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are
remediated as soon as practicable. We plan to engage a third party to assist in our remediation efforts. We will design and implement
a risk assessment process and establish processes and controls to support an effective control environment. These actions are intended
to enable Solidion to enhance our monitoring of our internal controls over financial reporting as well as enhance required communication.
In addition, we will design and implement controls to address material weaknesses in control activities including the proper review and
approval of journal entries and reconciliations.
As Solidion continues to evaluate its internal
controls, it may take additional remediation actions. The material weaknesses will be considered remediated when Solidion’s management
designs and implements effective controls that operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing,
that these controls are effective. Solidion’s management will monitor the effectiveness of its remediation plans and will make changes
management determines to be appropriate.
