KCM INDUSTRY Co., Ltd.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements

September 30, 2025, and 2024

 

1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

(1)Description of Business

 

KCM INDUSTRY Co., Ltd. (the Company), established in 2021, specializes in the manufacture and sale of neodymium-iron-boron (“NdFeb”) powder for NdFeb permanent magnets. The Company specializes in the production of neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnetic powder, establishing itself as one of South Korea’s key manufacturers in this specialized industry. The Company offers diverse types of NdFeb Powder with different magnetic characteristics. The Company is headquartered in Gunsan, South Korea and production takes place at headquarter.

 

(2)Basis of Presentation

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The accounting policies applied by the Company in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

The interim financial information reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s latest annual audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31,2024.

 

(3)Going Concern

 

The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern exists.

 

Primarily due to underperformance, the Company incurred losses of $887,886 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. Absent any other action, the Company will require additional liquidity to continue its operations over the next 12 months.

 

The Company is evaluating strategies to obtain the required additional funding for future operations. These strategies may include, but are not limited to, obtaining equity financing, issuing debt or entering other financing arrangements, and restructuring of operations to grow revenues and decrease expenses. However, upon the economic environment and the Company’s current capability, the Company may be unable to access future equity or debt financing when needed. As such, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional liquidity when needed or under acceptable terms, if at all.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

 

(4)Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of fixed assets; allowance for credit losses, deferred tax assets, inventory, lease liabilities and right-of-use assets, and income tax uncertainties, and other contingencies.

(5)New Accounting Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted

 

Income Statement (Topic 220) Reporting Comprehensive Income- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The standard requires to disclose disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material effect on its financial statements and has begun evaluating disclosure presentation alternatives.

 

Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, which becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-06. The amendments clarify the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

 

Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025 for non-public business entities. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

The Company has not early adopted any of the forthcoming new or amended accounting standards in preparing these condensed interim financial statements.

 

2.Significant Risks and Uncertainties Including Business and Credit Concentrations

 

The Company manufactures Neodymium Powder (NdFeb Powder) for Neodymium Magnet which is used in manufacturing of household appliances and cars. The Company’s main products are NdFeb bonded powders with different types of magnetic characteristics.

 

The Company’s operating segment is a single segment and composes of NdFeb Powder manufacturing segment, and as of the end of the reporting period, assets, and liabilities of the segment are the same as the condensed balance sheets.

6.Fair Value Measurements

 

(1)Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are reported in one of three levels reflecting the significant inputs used to determine fair value.

 

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets as of the reporting date.

 

Level 2 - Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. These are inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data and may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

 

(2)The following summarizes our financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

   Classification  Measurement
Level
  September 30,
2025
   December 31,
2024
 
(in US dollars)                
Redeemable convertible preference shares  Financial liabilities  Level 3  $1,179,648           - 

 

The Company estimated the fair value of redeemable convertible preferred stock using the Tsiveriotis-Fernandes model with strip and bootstrapping method. The fair value is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on Stock price volatility of similar listed companies.

 

The change in fair value of the redeemable convertible preferred stock resulted in a loss of $72,073 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, which was recognized in the statements of operations within Loss on financial instruments.

 

Fair value per share, the Company’s underlying assets, was evaluated by referring to the Company’s business plan and objectively verifiable market indicators.

 

(3)The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to their short maturity.

 

Our short-term and long-term debts except the redeemable convertible preferred stock are recorded at amortized cost. The fair value is estimated using Level 2 inputs based on our current interest rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying amount of the long-term debt approximates its fair value as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, due primarily to the interest rates approximating market interest rates.

(4)Quantitative information as of September 30, 2025, for the significant liabilities measured and carried at fair value on a recurring basis with the use of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) follows:

 

   Unobservable Inputs  Assumptions  Factors 
           
Redeemable convertible preference shares  Volatility  Mean of the annual volatility of proxy companies   47.5%
            
   Risk neutrality probability, max  Dynamic hedge for each node   47.5%

 

(5)For the fair value of the convertible redeemable preferred shares, reasonably possible changes at each reporting date to one of the significant unobservable inputs, holding other inputs constant, would have the following effects in the statement of profit or loss.

 

   September 30,
2025
   December 31,
2024
 
   Increase   Decrease   Increase   Decrease
