EXPLANATORY NOTE

On February 2, 2024, Nubia Brand International Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Nubia" and after the Transactions (as defined below), the "Combined Company" 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.

Unless the context otherwise requires, the "registrant" and the "Company" refer to Nubia prior to the Closing and to the Combined Company and its subsidiaries following the Closing and "HBC" and "Honeycomb" refers to Honeycomb Battery Company and its subsidiaries prior to the Closing and the business of the Combined Company and its subsidiaries following the Closing.

The Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), is now listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbol "STI". The Company's Public Warrants to purchase Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, previously listed under ticker "NUBIW", were delisted from the Nasdaq. The unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements included herein reflect the operations of HBC for prior periods, as HBC is the accounting acquirer and predecessor. Until the Merger, Nubia neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue, and based on its business activities, Nubia was a "shell company" as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

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 battery materials, components, cells, and selected module/pack technologies. Solidion's headquarters is in Dallas, Texas. Research and development and manufacturing operations are located in Dayton, Ohio.

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 previously announced 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 70,000,000 shares of Solidion's common stock, minus up to 200,000 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 22,500,000 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)

5,000,000 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)

7,500,000 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)

10,000,000 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 September 30, 2024, none of the Earnout Shares had been earned by G3.

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 will be 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 will not be 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 will be treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger will be 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a net loss of $14,384,526, which included a gain of $24,017,035 due to the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities and a $27,475,797 loss due to the issuance of common stock and warrants, net cash used in operating activities of $5,677,192 and as of September 30, 2024, had cash and cash equivalents of $1,188,657. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a net loss of $5,324,624 and net cash used in operating activities of $4,068,302.

Additionally, 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. The Company also 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. 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. 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 - 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. Additionally, the accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form S-1 filed by the Company with the SEC on October 2, 2024.

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.

In the opinion of management, the Company has made all adjustments necessary to present fairly its financial statements for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. 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.

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.

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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company determined that no allowance was required.

Other Receivable

As of December 31, 2023, the Company held an other receivable balance of $187,500 from Nubia. This balance originated from cash advances made by G3 on behalf of The Battery Group of G3, in connection with Nubia's funding requirements for extensions of time in closing the Merger. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, G3's Battery Group was responsible for funding 50% of this additional trust funding requirement. As of September 30, 2024, following the elimination of an intercompany amount upon the closing of the Merger, the Company no longer had a balance related to the trust funding requirement. During the first quarter, 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 September 30, 2024.

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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company determined that no write off was required.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

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
Leasehold improvements			15 years
Machinery & equipment			5 years

Depreciation expense of property and equipment was $51,724, $177,234, $59,745 and $216,615 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, 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 $1,073,866 and $848,143 as of September 30, 2024, respectively; and $1,103,792 and $748,857 as of December 31, 2023, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Translation of Foreign Currencies

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.

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 will be 9,500,000. 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) 9,500,000 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.

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.

Generally, the Company issues stock options and restricted stock units with only service-based vesting conditions and records the expense for these awards using the straight-line method. The Company also issues restricted stock awards with market-based vesting conditions, the effects of which are included in the grant date fair value of the awards. Compensation expense related to awards with market-based vesting conditions is recognized irrespective of whether the condition is satisfied, so long as the requisite service period is fulfilled.

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

Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"), which provides for deferred taxes using an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided, if based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit would more likely than not be realized assuming examination by the taxing authority. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances. The Company recognizes any interest and penalties accrued 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 include would be anti-dilutive as of September 30, 2024 and 2023. As such, net loss per common stock is the same for basic and diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The following table presents potentially dilutive common stock equivalents that have been excluded from the calculation of dilutive loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

		September 30, 2024			December 31, 2023
HBC Holdback Shares			200,000				-
Warrants - Public			6,175,000				-
Warrants - Private			5,405,000				-

Total common stock equivalents excluded from dilutive loss per share			98,689,919				-

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 14.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant's 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 warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company's own common shares and whether the warrant 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 warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

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 outstanding public warrants as equity-classified instruments. The company accounts for the outstanding Series A and Series B warrants related to the Private Placement financing as liability-classified instruments as certain adjustments to the settlement amount are not components of the fixed-to-fixed model used to assess the "own equity" exception that allows for equity classification.

Forward Purchase Agreement

The Company accounts for the forward purchase agreement ("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 are freestanding financial instruments 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 their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. The Company accounts for the outstanding FPA as a liability-classified instrument due to the settlement provisions.

Other Current Assets

The composition of other current assets was:

		September 30, 2024			December 31, 2023
Directors & Officers Insurance			356,301				-
Total other assets			356,301				-

Recent 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 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. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The purpose of the amendments is to enable investors to better understand an entity's overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. 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 adoption is not expected to have a material impact to the Company's financial statements or disclosures.

NOTE 3 - 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 in stockholders' equity (deficit) for the period ended September 30, 2024:

Cash received from NUBI Trust			25,160,047
Less: discount payment related to Non Redemption Agreement			(13,937,997	)
Less: reimbursement for consideration shares related to the FPA			(2,193,800	)
Less: reimbursement for Recycled Shares related to the FPA			(80,241	)
Less: transaction expenses paid in connection with the Merger			(8,948,009	)
Net cash received from NUBI Trust			-
Add: cash from NUBI operating account			17,555
Add: prepaid expenses			165,407
Less: derivative liabilities			(20,889,950	)
Less: other liabilities			(4,086,172	)
Reverse recapitalization, net			(24,793,160	)

The number of shares of common stock issued immediately following the consummation of the Merger were:

Nubia common stock, outstanding prior to the closing of the Merger			6,004,741
Shares issued to Nubia convertible noteholders			5,962,325
Predecessor HBC Shares			69,800,000
Common stock immediately after the closing of the Merger			81,767,066

The number of Predecessor HBC shares as follows:

		Predecessor HBC Shares			Shares issued to shareholders of Predecessor HBC
Common stock			1,000				69,800,000

IPO warrants

In connection with Nubia's initial public offering in 2022, 6,175,000 public warrants were issued and 5,405,000 warrants were issued in a private placement, all of which warrants remained outstanding and became warrants for the Common stock in the Company.

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, 200,000 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. At closing, the G3 Tax Lien has not been settled by G3 and as of September 30, 2024, the 200,000 holdback shares have not been issued.

HBC Earnout Arrangement

As noted in Note 1, in connection with the Merger, HBC shareholders are entitled to up to 22,500,000 shares if certain post merger per share market prices are achieved.

The accounting for the Earnout Arrangement was first evaluated under FASB ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718") to determine if the arrangement represents a share-based payment arrangement. Because there are no service conditions nor any requirement of the participants to provide goods or services, the Company determined that the Earnout Shares are not within the scope of ASC 718.

Next, the Company determined that the Earnout Arrangement represent a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument to be evaluated under ASC 480. Based upon the analysis, the Company concluded that the Earnout Arrangement should not be classified as a liability under ASC 480.

The Company next considered and concluded that the contract was indexed to the Company's own stock under ASC 815-40-15 and then considered and concluded that the equity classification conditions in ASC 815-40-25 were met. Therefore, the Earnout Arrangement is appropriately classified in equity.

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 September 30, 2024, none of the Earnout Shares had been earned by G3.

NOTE 4 - PATENTS

Issued patents are recognized on the balance sheets net of accumulated amortization of $1,922,009 and $1,852,649 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Amortization expense for the patents included in these financial statements was $49,778, $121,571, $214,757 and $240,066 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Future amortization expense for the patents over the next five years is anticipated to be approximately $148,000 per year.

NOTE 5 - FOREIGN OPERATIONS

The foreign subsidiary of the Company, a research and development facility based in Taiwan, operating as an extension of the Dayton, OH R&D team working on silicon anode technology advancement, represented $30,406 and $24,132 of total assets, and $21,405 and $62,753 of total liabilities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Of the total assets, property and equipment totaled $9,906 and $14,500 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. There were norevenues recognized by the foreign subsidiary for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Total expenses incurred by the foreign subsidiary were 79,799, $177,555 and $117,763, 258,210 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

NOTE 6 - 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 $1,388,756 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $487,273 and $2,980,851 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Other Receivable

As of December 31, 2023, the Company held an other receivable balance of $187,500 from Nubia. This balance originated from cash advances made by Global Graphene Group ("G3") on behalf of the Battery Group, in connection with Nubia's funding requirements for extensions of time in closing the Merger. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Battery Group was responsible for funding 50% of this additional trust funding requirement. As of September 30, 2024, following the elimination of an intercompany amount upon the closing of the Merger, the Company no longer had a balance related to the trust funding requirement. During the first quarter, 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 September 30, 2024.

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 were $39,000 and $115,521 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Amounts outstanding as of September 30, 2024 were $7,443.

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.

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.

On April 29, 2024, the Company made a payment of $669,985 to reimburse G3 for Merger-related transaction expenses. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repaid $0 and $879,985, respectively, due to related parties. Amounts outstanding as of September 30, 2024 to G3 and Mach FM were $0 and $87,873, respectively.

Contingent Consideration

At Closing, the G3 Tax Lien has not been settled by G3 and as of September 30, 2024, the 200,000 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 Notes 3 and 7 for 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 200,000 Holdback Shares, which was accounted for as an equity transaction.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company may be involved in lawsuits, claims or legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. 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.

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 $1,990,000 as of November 2024.

As disclosed in Note 2, 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, 200,000 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. At closing, the G3 Tax Lien has not been settled by G3 and as of September 30, 2024, the 200,000 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.

HBC Earnout Arrangement

As noted in Note 1, in connection with the Merger, HBC shareholders are entitled to up to 22,500,000 shares if certain post-merger per share market prices are achieved. 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.

See Notes 3 and 7 for further discussion regarding the earnout related to the reverse capitalization transaction and HBC Holdback Shares related to the federal tax lien.

Strategic Cooperation Consulting Agreement

On September 11, 2024, the Company amended an existing Strategic Cooperation Consulting Agreement (the "Consulting Agreement") by and between the Company and Arbor Lake Capital Inc. (the "Advisor"), pursuant to which the Company retained the Advisor as its consultant to provide non-exclusive consulting services in connection with the Company's commercial and strategic business development including but not limited to sales and market development, business partnership, joint-venture, alliance, licensing and supply cooperation. In accordance with the terms of the Consulting Agreement, the Advisor shall be entitled to receive the consulting fees as follows:

●	2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock as a retainer upon the signing of the Consulting Agreement;

●

Any licensing agreement that results in a commercial/strategic partner(s) acquiring a license from the Company shall entitle the Advisor to 3% (three percent) of upfront licensing revenue, plus 2% (two percent) of annual loyalty revenue from the commercial/strategic partner(s) for the first three years;

●

Any commercial/strategic cooperation in which the Company would distribute, resell or become a licensee of the commercial/strategic partner, the Company shall pay to the Advisor 0.4% of the revenue generated by the Company under such agreement for the first three years beginning with the first date that the commercial/strategic partner delivers the first product;

●

For any sales/purchase of Company products in excess of $2,000,000 annually or similar agreements with commercial/strategic partner(s) resulting from the services rendered hereunder to the Company shall accrue compensation to the Advisor as follows: 2% (two percent) of sales/purchase value up to $5 million of the Company from the Commercial/Strategic Partner(s), plus 1.5% (one and half percent) of sales/purchase value above $5 million of the company from the Commercial/Strategic Partner(s);

●	For any other commercial/strategic cooperation including but not limited to partnership, joint-venture, alliance, and supply cooperation, the compensation will be further discussed and agreed upon by the parties when such cooperation commences.

●	The term of the Consulting Agreement shall continue until the performance by each party of its respective obligations thereunder shall have been satisfied. Either party may terminate the relationship upon mutual agreement after 12 months upon the effective date of the Consulting Agreement.

As the 2,000,000 shares are fully earned upon the signing of the agreement, the Company recorded expense of $700,000 based on the stock price on the signing date.

Equity Financing

On March 13, 2024, Solidion entered into a private placement transaction (the "Private Placement"), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") with certain institutional investors (the "Purchasers") for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,850,000.

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 (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), and in accordance with the terms therein.

On August 30, 2024, the Company entered into a private placement transaction (the "Private Placement"), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") with certain institutional investors (the "Purchasers") for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,000,000.

As part of the Private Placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 12,217,468 units and pre-funded units (collectively, the "Units") at a purchase price of $0.3274 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").

NOTE 9 - WARRANTS

IPO Warrants

The warrants issued in connection with the Company's IPO (the "public warrants") entitle the holder of each public warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of common stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade and requires the purchase of at least two units to be eligible

The warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Company's initial business combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company is not obligated to deliver any shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and has no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue shares of common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of common stock underlying such unit.

However, the Company has agreed that as soon as practicable after the closing of the Company's initial business combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 90^th day after the closing of the Company's initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a "cashless basis" in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of the Company's initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption:

●

in whole and not in part;

●

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

●

upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice of redemption given after the warrants become exercisable (the "30-day redemption period") to each warrant holder; and

●

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing once the warrants become exercisable and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, the Company may not exercise the Company's redemption right if the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification. The Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify such shares of common stock under the blue sky laws of the state of residence in those states in which the warrants were offered by us in the Company's initial public offering.

The Company has established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, the Company's management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a "cashless basis." In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a "cashless basis," the Company's management will consider, among other factors, the Company's cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on the Company's stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company's warrants. If the Company's management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the "fair market value" (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The "fair market value" for this purpose shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. If the Company's management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of common stock to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the "fair market value" in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. The Company believes this feature is an attractive option to us if the Company do not need the cash from the exercise of the warrants after the Company's initial business combination. If the Company calls its warrants for redemption and the Company's management does not take advantage of this option, the Company's sponsor and its permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their placement warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrant holders would have been required to use had all warrant holders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.

A holder of a warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person's affiliates), to the warrant agent's actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

If the number of outstanding shares of common stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of common stock, or by a split-up of shares of common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of each whole warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of common stock. A rights offering to holders of common stock entitling holders to purchase shares of common stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of common stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock) and (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of common stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, in determining the price payable for common stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of common stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of common stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if we, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of common stock on account of such shares of common stock (or other shares of the Company's capital stock into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) certain ordinary cash dividends, (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of common stock in connection with a proposed initial business combination, (d) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of common stock in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company's initial business combination or certain amendments to the Company's charter prior thereto or to redeem 100% of the Company's common stock if the Company does not complete the Company's initial business combination within 12 months (or up to 18 months if the Company's time to complete a business combination is extended as described herein) from the closing of the Company's initial public offering or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders' rights or pre-initial business combination activity, or (e) in connection with the redemption of the Company's public shares upon the Company's failure to complete the Company's initial business combination, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of common stock in respect of such event.

If the number of outstanding shares of the Company's common stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of common stock.

Whenever the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of common stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of common stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares of common stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company are dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the shares of the Company's common stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event.

However, if less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of common stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the warrant agreement) of the warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the warrants pursuant to which the holders of the warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the warrants in order to determine and realize the option value component of the warrant. This formula is to compensate the warrant holder for the loss of the option value portion of the warrant due to the requirement that the warrant holder exercise the warrant within 30 days of the event. The Black-Scholes model is an accepted pricing model for estimating fair market value where no quoted market price for an instrument is available.

The warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any mistake, but requires the approval by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the Company's initial business combination at a Newly Issued Price of less than $9.20 per share of common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company's board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Company's sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by the Company's sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance), (y)the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the Company's initial business combination on the date of the consummation of the Company's initial business combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the Market Value is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one (1) vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock to be issued to the warrant holder.

Private Warrants

In accordance with ASC 815, the Private Warrants were determined to be liability classified at the issuance date and subject to periodic remeasurement.

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 (including the common stock issuable upon exercise of the private warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of the Company's initial business combination (except to the Company's officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the holders of the private warrants). They will also 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 holders of the private warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the "fair market value" (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The "fair market value" for this purpose shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. 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 holders of the private warrants have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the private warrants (including the common stock issuable upon exercise of any of these warrants) until the date that is 30 days after the date The Company completed the Company's initial business combination, except to the Company's officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the holders of the private warrants.

Series A and Series B Warrants

In accordance with ASC 815, the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants were determined to be liability classified at the issuance date and subject to periodic remeasurement. 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 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 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.

The fair value of the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants as of September 30, 2024 was $6,502,710 and $142,655, respectively, resulting in a gain of $5,383,585 and $6,093,635 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The number of Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants exercised as of September 30, 2024, was 466,000 and 5,364,046, respectively, resulting in the issuance of 5,830,046 common shares.

Series C and Series D Warrants

In accordance with ASC 815, the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants were determined to be liability classified at the issuance date and subject to periodic remeasurement. 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 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 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 September 30, 2024 was $8,160,300 and $1,058,950, respectively, resulting in a gain of $435,550 during the three months ended September 30, 2024. There were no Series C Warrants and Series D Warrants exercised as of September 30, 2024.

NOTE 10 - FORWARD PURCHASE AGREEMENT, NON REDEMPTION AGREEMENT AND PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING

Forward Purchase Agreement

On December 13, 2023, Nubia entered into an agreement with (i) Meteora Capital Partners, LP ("MCP"), (ii) Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP ("MSTO"), and (iii) Meteora Strategic Capital, LLC ("MSC" and, collectively with MCP and MSTO, "Seller" or "Forward Purchase Investors") (the "Forward Purchase Agreement"). For purposes of the Forward Purchase Agreement, NUBI 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 Forward Purchase Agreement 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, of NUBI ("NUBI 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 Forward Purchase Agreement provides for a prepayment shortfall in an amount in U.S. dollars equal to 0.50% of the product of the Recycled Shares and the Initial Price (as defined below). As described below in Shortfall Sales, Seller in its sole discretion may sell Recycled Shares at any time following the Trade Date at any sales price without payment by Seller of any Early Termination Obligation until such time as the proceeds from such sales equal 100% of the Prepayment Shortfall (as set forth under Shortfall Sales below) (such sales, "Shortfall Sales," and such Shares, "Shortfall Sale Shares"). A sale of Shares is only (a) a "Shortfall Sale," subject to the terms and conditions herein applicable to Shortfall Sale Shares, when a Shortfall Sale Notice is delivered under the Forward Purchase Agreement, and (b) an Optional Early Termination, subject to the terms and conditions of the Forward Purchase Agreement applicable to Terminated Shares, when an OET Notice is delivered under the Forward Purchase Agreement, in each case with the delivery of such notice being in the sole discretion of Seller (as further described in the "Optional Early Termination" and "Shortfall Sales" sections in the Forward Purchase Agreement).

The Forward Purchase Agreement provides that Seller will be paid directly an aggregate cash amount (the "Prepayment Amount") equal to (a) the sum of (i) the Number of Shares as set forth in a Pricing Date Notice, plus (ii) 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, and as amended from time to time (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), less (b) the Prepayment Shortfall.

The Counterparty will pay to Seller the Prepayment Amount required under the Forward Purchase Agreement directly from the Counterparty's Trust Account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company holding the net proceeds of the sale of the units in the Counterparty's initial public offering and the sale of private placement warrants (the "Trust Account"), no later than the earlier of (a) one Local Business Day after the Closing Date and (b) the date any assets from the Trust Account are disbursed in connection with the Merger; except that to the extent that the Prepayment Amount is to be paid from the purchase of Additional Shares by Seller, such amount will be netted against such proceeds, with Seller being able to reduce the purchase price for the Additional Shares by the Prepayment Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Shares purchased by Seller will be included in the Number of Shares under the Forward Purchase Agreement for all purposes, including for determining the Prepayment Amount. In addition to the Prepayment Amount, Counterparty shall pay directly from the Trust Account, on the Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the product of (x) up to 200,000 (with such final amount to be determined by Seller in its sole discretion via written notice to Counterparty) and (y) the Initial Price.

Following the Closing, the reset price (the "Reset Price") will initially be 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.

From time to time and on any date following the Trade Date (any such date, an "OET Date") and subject to the terms and conditions in the Forward Purchase Agreement, Seller may, in its absolute discretion, terminate the Transaction in whole or in part by providing written notice to the Counterparty (the "OET Notice"), by the later of (a) the fifth Local Business Day following the OET Date and (b) the next Payment Date following the OET Date (which shall specify the quantity by which the Number of Shares shall be reduced (such quantity, the "Terminated Shares")). The effect of an OET Notice shall be to reduce the Number of Shares by the number of Terminated Shares specified in such OET Notice with effect as of the related OET Date. As of each OET Date, the Counterparty shall be entitled to an amount from Seller, and Seller shall pay to the Counterparty an amount, equal to the product of (x) the number of Terminated Shares and (y) the Reset Price in respect of such OET Date. The payment date may be changed within a quarter at the mutual agreement of the parties.

The valuation date will be the earliest to occur of (a) the date that is three (3) years after the date of the closing of the Merger (the date of the closing of the Merger, the "Closing Date") pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (b) the date specified by Seller in a written notice to be delivered to Counterparty at Seller's discretion (which Valuation Date shall not be earlier than the day such notice is effective) after the occurrence of any of (v) a Shortfall Variance Registration Failure, (w) a VWAP Trigger Event, (x) a Delisting Event, (y) a Registration Failure or (z) unless otherwise specified therein, any Additional Termination Event, and (c) the date specified by Seller in a written notice to be delivered to the Counterparty at Seller's sole discretion (which Valuation Date shall not be earlier than the day such notice is effective). The Valuation Date notice will become effective immediately upon its delivery from Seller to the Counterparty in accordance with the Forward Purchase Agreement. In the event the Valuation Date is determined pursuant to clause (c), the Settlement Amount Adjustment will not apply to the calculation of the Settlement Amount.

On the Cash Settlement Payment Date, which is the tenth Local Business Day immediately following the last day of the Valuation Period, Seller will remit to the Counterparty an amount equal to the Settlement Amount and will not otherwise be required to return to the Counterparty any of the Prepayment Amount and the Counterparty shall remit to Seller the Settlement Amount Adjustment; provided that, if the Settlement Amount less the Settlement Amount Adjustment is a negative number, then neither Seller nor the Counterparty shall be liable to the other party for any payment under the "Cash Settlement Payment" Date section of the Forward Purchase Agreement. Under certain circumstances, the Company would be required to settle in shares or cash at the discretion of the Company.

Seller has agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to the Recycled Shares in connection with the Merger as well as any redemption rights under NUBI's Certificate of Incorporation that would require redemption by NUBI of the NUBI Shares. Such waiver may reduce the number of NUBI Shares redeemed in connection with the Merger, and such reduction could alter the perception of the potential strength of the Merger. The Forward Purchase Agreement has been structured, and all activity in connection with such agreement has been undertaken, to comply with the requirements of all tender offer regulations applicable to the Merger, 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 7,352 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 200,000 consideration shares.

On January 17, 2024, the Company received a Pricing Date Notice from the Forward Purchase Investors specifying 5,838,537 Additional Shares. On March 22, 2024, the Company received an amended Pricing Date Notice revising the total number of Additional Shares to 8,038,537. On June 11, 2024 the Company received an amended Pricing Date Notice revising the total number of Additional Shares to 9,543,002. On August 29, 2024, the Additional Shares have been issued to the Forward Purchase Investors.

The Company used a Monte Carlo analysis to determine the fair value of the FPA. The model measured the total present value of the Company's proceeds at approximately $98,282 and the total present value of the Company's liability at approximately $3,500,369, resulting in a net liability of approximately $3,402,100 as of September 30, 2024.

FPA amendment and resolution of lawsuit

On July 17, 2024, plaintiffs Meteora Capital Partners LP, Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master LP and Meteora Strategic Capital LLC brought a lawsuit against Solidion in Delaware Chancery Court seeking specific performance and monetary damages related to the Forward Purchase Agreement.

On August 29, 2024, the Company and the Seller entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Forward Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things:

"Prepayment Shortfall" was amended to additionally provide, with respect to the Additional Shares, amounts to be requested in writing from time to time by the Company (each an "Additional Shortfall Request") in increments of $500,000 (such amount in the aggregate not to exceed (x) the number of Additional Shares multiplied by (y) the Initial Price), and Seller to pay the Prepayment Shortfall on the Additional Shares on the earlier of (a) the date that the Commission declares the Registration Statement effective (the "Registration Statement Effective Date") and (b) the first OET Date. Additional Shortfall Requests may only be made, unless waived in writing by the Seller, in the event that (i) there is no Prepayment Shortfall outstanding, (ii) the VWAP Price over the ten (10) trading days prior to an Additional Shortfall Request multiplied by the then current Number of Shares (excluding unregistered shares) held by Seller less Shortfall Sale Shares be at least ten (10) times greater than the Additional Shortfall Request and (iii) at the time that such Prepayment Shortfall would be paid by the Seller, the total value traded in Counterparty's stock, as reported on the relevant Bloomberg Screen, be at least ten (10) times greater than the Additional Prepayment Shortfall request.

"Prepayment Shortfall Consideration" was amended to provide that Seller in its sole discretion may sell Additional Shares, as well as Recycled Shares, at any time following the Trade Date and at any sales price, without payment by Seller of any Early Termination Obligation, until such time as the proceeds from such sales equal 120% of the Prepayment Shortfall.

"Shortfall Sales" was amended to provide that without Seller's prior written consent, the Company agrees not to issue, sell or offer or agree to sell any Shares, or securities or debt that is convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Shares, including under any existing or future equity line of credit, beginning from the date of the Amendment until the earlier of (i) the Valuation Date and (ii) the date the Shortfall Sales equal 120% of the total potential Prepayment Shortfall, including with respect to Additional Shares. The foregoing covenant does not prohibit (i) the issuance of any securities issued or assumed in connection with the Business Combination or (ii) repricing of the Company's warrants in connection with the closing of the Business Combination.

"Shortfall Sales" was also amended to provide that unless and until the proceeds from Shortfall Sales equal 120% of the Prepayment Shortfall, in the event that the product of (x) the difference between (i) the number of Shares as specified in the Pricing Date Notice(s), less (ii) any Shortfall Sale Shares as of such measurement time, multiplied by (y) the VWAP Price, is less than (z) the difference between (i) the Prepayment Shortfall, less (ii) the proceeds from Shortfall Sales as of such measurement time (the "Shortfall Variance"), then the Company as liquidated damages in respect of such Shortfall Variance, at its option must within five (5) Local Business Days either: (A) Pay in cash an amount equal to the Shortfall Variance; or (B) Issue and deliver to Seller the Shortfall Variance Shares.

"Share Consideration" was amended to additionally provide that upon the execution of the Amendment, Seller became entitled to designate a certain number of Additional Shares as Share Consideration equal to 2,850,000 Shares.

"VWAP Trigger Event" was amended to be defined as an event that occurs if the VWAP Price, for any 10 trading days during a 30 consecutive trading day-period, is below $2.00 per Share.

In addition, upon execution of the Amendment, Seller agreed to temporarily forbear from exercising any rights under the Forward Purchase Agreement upon any Shortfall Variance Registration Failure, VWAP Trigger Event, or Registration Failure that has occurred or may occur (the "Valuation Date Events") during the period (the "Standstill Period") beginning on the Pricing Date and ending on December 31, 2024. Immediately upon expiration of the Standstill Period, if any Valuation Date Events have occurred, Seller has all of its rights with respect to such Valuation Date Events to the same extent, and with the same force and effect, as if the forbearance had not occurred.

In addition to all registration rights provided under the Forward Purchase Agreement, upon the execution of the Amendment, the Company within twenty (20) business days, agreed to file a registration statement registering the resale of the Additional Shares and Share Consideration (collectively, the "Meteora Shares"). The Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than sixty calendar days after the date of the Amendment. Furthermore, the Company agreed no other shares may be registered before the Meteora Shares, though other shares may be registered concurrently with the Meteora Shares on the same resale registration statement.

In addition, the Amendment provides that Seller, from the date of the Amendment until thirty (30) days following the effectiveness of the resale registration statement registering the Meteora Shares, agrees to limit sales of the Meteora Shares to no more than 10% of the daily trading volume of the Company's common stock, except on trading days when more than 7,000,000 shares are traded.

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 12,393,002 shares of its common stock 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 in an amount up to $65,000 related to any legal work performed by Seller's legal advisors relating to the Company on behalf of Seller. "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.

The Company recorded expense of $1,026,000 based on the stock price on the date of the amendment for the 2,850,000 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 consummation of the Merger, NUBI paid to each Backstop Investor a payment in respect of its respective Backstop Shares a payment in cash released from the trust Account in an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of Backstop Shares and (y) the Redemption Price, less $4.00. The total cash payment paid to Backstop Investors was $13,937,997 released from the trust account.

March Private Placement Financing

On March 13, 2024, the Company entered into a private placement transaction (the "Private Placement"), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") with certain institutional investors (the "PIPE Investors") 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 Private Placement. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for working capital and general corporate purposes. EF Hutton, LLC, acted as the exclusive placement agent for the Private Placement. The Private Placement closed on March 15, 2024.

As part of the Private Placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,133,332 units and pre-funded units (collectively, the "Units") at a purchase price of $0.75 per unit (less $0.0001 per pre-funded unit).

The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable on issuance at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of common stock and will not expire until exercised in full. The Series A Warrants are exercisable upon issuance and have an exercise price of $0.75 per share of common stock (subject to certain anti-dilution and share combination event protections) and have a term of 5.5 years from the date of Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Subscription Agreement). The Series B Warrants will be exercisable following the Reset Date (as defined in the Series B Warrant), will have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of common stock and will have a term of 5.5 years from the date of Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Subscription Agreement). The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable under the Series A Warrants are subject to adjustment and the number of shares of common stock issuable under the Series B Warrant will be determined following the later to occur of: (i) the earlier of (A) the first trading day after the date on which a resale registration statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities (as defined in the Series B Warrant) has been declared effective for 10 consecutive trading days or (B) the first trading day after the date on which the PIPE Investors may sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, or (ii) the 11^th trading day after Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) is obtained (the "Reset Date"), and to be determined pursuant to the lowest daily average trading price of the common stock during the Reset Period (as defined in the Series B Warrant), subject to a pricing floor of $0.15 per share of common stock, such that the maximum number of shares of common stock underlying the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants would be an aggregate of approximately 10,266,664 shares and 25,666,660 shares, respectively. In the event either of clauses (i) or (ii) in the immediately preceding sentence has not occurred, "Reset Date" means the 11^th trading day after twelve months and 30 trading days following the issuance date of the Series B Warrants.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the PIPE Investors, dated as of March 13, 2024 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company filed a registration statement with the SEC pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement on April 15, 2024. The registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC on June 17, 2024.

Reset Period

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 $0.3478. As a result, the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants held by investors were reset to 22,141,701 shares and 5,749,598 shares, respectively.

The number of Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants exercised as of September 30, 2024, was 466,000 and 5,364,046, respectively, resulting in the issuance of 5,830,046 common shares.

NOTE 12 - 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 September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company utilized the annualized effective tax rate method and recorded zeroincome tax expense based on a zeroeffective tax rate. Notax benefit or expense has been recorded in relation to the pre-tax losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, due to a full valuation allowance to offset any deferred tax assets.

NOTE 13 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Unrestricted Common Stock Awards

During the three month period ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted unrestricted common shares to certain executives in connection with the terms of their individual employment agreements. As these awards were fully-vested, unrestricted shares, the Company recognized the full amount of $1,359,000 in the period. This compensation cost is included within Selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Company's condensed, consolidated and combined statements of operations. There were no similar common stock grants during the period ended September 30, 2023. There were no awards issued during the period ended September 30, 2024.

Restricted Stock Units and Stock Options

There were no restricted stock units or stock options granted during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Additionally, there were no restricted stock units or stock options outstanding at either the beginning or the end of the periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There were no awards issued during the period ended September 30, 2024.

Awards with Market-Based Conditions

In connection with the aforementioned executive employment agreements, certain executives are eligible to receive unrestricted shares of common stock if certain stock price targets are met during the term of the respective employment agreements. A stock price target will be satisfied if the 120-day trailing average closing price (based on trading days) of a share of the Company's common stock equals or exceeds the applicable stock price target, which range from $30 to $300 per share. The executives could be granted up to 6,000,000 shares based on attainment of all applicable stock price targets over the term of six years and an estimated fair value of approximately $4,800,000. The Company recorded approximately $278,176 and $729,839 of expense related to these awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Awards with Performance Conditions

In connection with the aforementioned executive employment agreements, certain executives are eligible to receive cash incentive payments in connection with the Company achieving certain capital raise targets. In addition, these executives can also receive a cash bonus equal to 2.5% of the equity value of the Company (up to $10 million for each executive, totaling $20 million) in an applicable sale of the Company as defined by the terms of the employment agreements. Through September 30, 2024, it was not considered probable that either performance condition would be achieved, and therefore no expense was recorded related to these awards.

NOTE 14 - 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 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

					September 30,			December 31,
Description:		Level			2024			2023
Derivative Liabilities:
Forward purchase agreement		3			$	3,402,100			$	-
Warrants - Series A and B		3			$	6,645,365			$	-
Warrants - Series C and D		3			$	9,219,250			$	-

Forward purchase agreement

The Company used a Monte Carlo analysis to determine the fair value of the FPA, assuming a total number of Additional Shares of 9,543,002. The model measured the total present value of the Company's proceeds at approximately $98,282 and the total present value of the Company's liability at approximately $3,500,369, resulting in a net liability of approximately $3,402,100 as of September 30, 2024.

The fair value measurement of the FPA at February 2, 2024 and September 30, 2024, was calculated using the following range of weighted average assumptions:

		September 30,			February 2,
		2024			2024
Risk-free interest rate			3.63	%			4.14	%
Stock price		$	0.37			$	4.53
Expected life			2.1 years				2.8 years
Expected volatility of underlying stock			107.5	%			70.0	%
Dividends			0	%			0	%

Warrants - Series A and B

The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation analysis to determine the fair value of the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants at the date of issuance on March 15, 2024, which included the following assumptions:

		Series A Warrants			Series B Warrants
Expected term (in years)			5.7 years				5.7 years
Stock price		$	1.74			$	1.74
Risk free rate			4.2	%			4.2	%
Expected volatility			82.5	%			82.5	%
Expected dividend rate		$	0.00			$	0.00
Exercise Price		$	0.75			$	0.0001

The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation analysis to determine the fair value of the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants at September 30, 2024, which included the following assumptions:

		Series A Warrants			Series B Warrants
Expected term (in years)			5.2 years				5.2 years
Stock price		$	0.37			$	0.37
Risk free rate			3.6	%			3.6	%
Expected volatility			105	%			105	%
Expected dividend rate		$	0.00			$	0.00
Exercise Price		$	0.3274			$	0.0001

The fair value of the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants as of September 30, 2024, was $6,502,710 and $142,655, respectively. This resulted in a gain from the change in fair value of derivatives of $5,383,585, $6,093,635 and a gain (loss) from the issuance of warrants of $0, and $(17,820,998) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, investors received 466,000 and 5,364,046 common shares from exercise of Series A and Series B warrants, respectively.

Warrants - Series C and D

The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation analysis to determine the fair value of the Series C Warrants and Series D Warrants at the date of issuance (August 30, 2024), which included the following assumptions:

		Series C Warrants			Series D Warrants
Expected term (in years)			5.6 years				5.6 years
Stock price		$	0.32			$	0.32
Risk free rate			3.7	%			3.7	%
Expected volatility			105.0	%			105.0	%
Expected dividend rate		$	0.00			$	0.00
Exercise Price		$	0.3274			$	0.0001

The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation analysis to determine the fair value of the Series C Warrants and Series D Warrants at September 30, 2024, which included the following assumptions:

		Series C Warrants			Series D Warrants
Expected term (in years)			5.5 years				5.5 years
Stock price		$	0.37			$	0.37
Risk free rate			3.6	%			3.6	%
Expected volatility			105.0	%			105.0	%
Expected dividend rate		$	0.00			$	0.00
Exercise Price		$	0.3274			$	0.0001

The fair value of the Series C Warrants and Series D Warrants as of September 30, 2024, was $8,160,300 and $1,058,950, respectively. This resulted in a gain (loss) from the change in fair value of derivatives and issuance of warrants of $435,550 and $(9,654,799) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, investors have not exercised any Series C and Series D warrants.

History

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 Financings

On March 13, 2024, Solidion entered into a private placement transaction (the "Private Placement"), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "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 Private Placement. The net proceeds from the Private Placement were used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Private Placement closed on March 15, 2024.

As part of the Private Placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,133,332 units and pre-funded units (collectively, the "Units") at a purchase price of $0.75 per unit (less $0.0001 per pre-funded unit). Each Unit consists of (i) one share of Solidion Common Stock (or one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock), (ii) two Series A warrants each to purchase one share of Common Stock, and (iii) one Series B warrant to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as determined on the reset date (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), 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 $0.3478. As a result, the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants held by investors were reset to 22,141,701 shares and 5,749,598 shares, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, investors had exercised 466,000 Series A Warrants and 5,364,046 Series B Warrants, resulting in the issuance of 5,830,046 common shares.

On August 30, 2024, the Company entered into a private placement transaction (the "Private Placement"), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "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 Private Placement. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for working capital and general corporate purposes.

As part of the Private Placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 12,217,468 units and pre-funded units (collectively, the "Units") at a purchase price of $0.3274 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").

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

The Company is focused on commercializing and manufacturing battery materials and next-generation battery cells. Historically, and during the periods presented, we have generated minimal revenue from product samples. We do not expect to begin generating significant revenue until we complete the commercialization process and build out manufacturing capacity. Future capacity may come from joint ventures with strategic partners, sourcing third-party manufacturing from our network, or pursuing mergers and acquisitions.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits, third party technology validation testing, equipment, engineering, maintenance of facilities, data analysis, and materials.

Selling, general and, administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation related to executive management, finance, legal, and human resource functions. Other costs include business development, contractor and professional services fees, audit and compliance expenses, insurance costs and general corporate expenses, such rent, office supplies and information technology costs.

Other Income (Loss)

Change in fair value of Derivative Liabilities

Change in fair value of Derivative Liabilities consists of fluctuations in the fair value of an agreement between the Company and investors facilitating future purchases of the Company's stock by the Investor based on a Monte Carlo simulation model.

Interest Income

Interest income is derived from the Company's operating cash account, which is periodically invested in short-term money market funds.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of the interest on the Company's short-term notes and D&O insurance premium financing arrangement.

Results of Operations

The following information includes, in management's opinion, all necessary adjustments to fairly present its results of operations for these periods. This data should be read in conjunction with Solidion's financial statements and accompanying notes. These results of operations are not necessarily indicative of future performance.

Net Cash used in Operating Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $5,677,192. This primarily resulted from a net loss of $14,384,526, which included non-cash gains and losses, driven by a gain of $24,017,035 due to a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities related to the Forward Purchase Agreement and Private Placement warrants, and a loss of $27,475,797 from the issuance of common stock and warrants related to the Private Placement financing. These non-cash losses were added back to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities, as part non-cash adjustments that also included depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and equity compensation expense for services, totaling $4,113,643. Additionally, changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $1,134,929 of cash from operating activities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $3,298,947. This primarily resulted from a net loss of $4,211,621, which included non-cash losses, depreciation and amortization, totaling $456,681. Additionally, changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $455,994 of cash from operating activities.

Net Cash used in Investing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company used cash of $301,528 in investing activities consisting of capitalized patent costs.

Net Cash provided by Financing Activities

For the nine months ended September30, 2024, the Company generated cash of $7,056,000 from financing activities. The Company received proceeds from Private Placement financing and convertible notes of $7,850,000 and $527,500, respectively. These increases were offset by repayment of related party advances of $911,091.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company generated cash of $2,980,851 from financing activities, consisting of capital contributions by G3.

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 September 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $104,336,032. Additionally, $3,056,482 in NUBI transaction costs incurred were accrued at the Closing Date in connection with the Merger and are due to be paid within the next twelve (12) months. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred losses from operations totaling $10,885,651 and net cash used in operating activities of $5,677,192. We expect to continue to incur such losses for at least the next twelve (12) months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At September 30, 2024, 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.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2024, our contractual obligations are as follows:

		Total
Due to related party		$	87,873
Income tax payable		$	89,267
Excise taxes		$	890,385
Convertible notes		$	527,500
Short-term notes payable		$	1,953,335
Total		$	3,548,360

The amounts above reflect current liabilities presented on the Company's financial statements.

At September 30, 2024, we did not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

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. We have identified the following as our critical accounting estimate as of and for the three months ended September 30, 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 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 are freestanding financial instruments 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 are 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 instruments.

The fair value of the FPA is Level 3. The determination of the fair value requires significant estimates and judgments. Please see Note 14 - 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.

Recent 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 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 adoption is not expected to have a material impact to the Company's financial statements or disclosures.

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

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision, and with the participation, of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness 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"), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024 because of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, as further described below.

Notwithstanding the conclusion by our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024 were not effective, and notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below, management believes that our financial statements and related financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that a reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2024, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over reporting related to accounting due to an insufficient complement of qualified technical accounting and financial reporting personnel to perform control activities involving complex and/or non-routine transactions. This material weakness contributed to an additional material weakness in controls over the period end financial reporting process and preparation of financial statements not being executed timely.

These control deficiencies could have resulted in a misstatement of one or more account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Management's Plan to Remediate the Material Weaknesses

Remedial actions have been and are being implemented to address the underlying causes of the material weaknesses, including improving technical processes around non-routine or complex transactions, supplementing the technical capabilities of our accounting staff with additional contract resources and improving the documentation of the review of the accounting, presentation and disclosure of such transactions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
