EXPLANATORY NOTE



This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this
“Amendment”) amends our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, originally filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2016 (the “Original Report”). We are filing
this Amendment to include the information required by Part III and not included in the Original Report, as we do not intend to

31, 2015.



In addition, in connection with the filing
of this Amendment and pursuant to the requirements of Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are
including with this Amendment new certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Accordingly,
Item 15 of Part IV has also been amended to reflect the filing of these new certifications. Except as described above, no other
changes have been made to the Original Report. The Original Report continues to speak as of the date of the Original Report, and
we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to the filing
of the Original Report. Material events may have occurred subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing that are not reflected
in this Amendment.

Family Relationships



Nathan Kahn and Sandra Kahn are husband

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance



Section 16(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of
our common stock, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock. Directors,
officers and persons who own more than ten percent of our common stock are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies
of all Section 16(a) forms they file.



To our knowledge, based
solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, each of our directors,
officers and greater than ten percent stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our directors,
officers and greater than ten percent stockholders, except for one late Form 4 filed by Harvey Wrubel with respect to one transaction.



Code of Ethics



We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies
to our directors, officers and other employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal
accounting officer. Copies of the code can be obtained free of charge from our web site, www.empireresources.com. We intend to
disclose any future amendments to certain provisions of the code, or waivers of such provisions granted to executive officers and
directors, on this website within four business days following the date of any such amendment or waiver.



Board Committees



Our board of directors has established an
audit committee, a nominating and corporate governance committee and a compensation committee, each of which has the composition
and responsibilities described below.



Audit Committee. The audit committee
consists of William Spier, Jack Bendheim and Nathan Mazurek, each of whom our board has determined to be financially literate and
qualify as an independent director under Section 5605(a)(2) and Section 5605(c)(2) of the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. In
addition, Jack Bendheim qualifies as a financial expert, as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. The function of the
audit committee is to assist the board of directors in its oversight of (1) the integrity of our financial statements, (2) our
compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and (3) the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent auditors.



Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
The nominating and corporate governance committee consists of William Spier and Nathan Mazurek, each of whom our board has determined
qualifies as an independent director under Section 5605(a)(2) of the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The primary function of
the nominating and corporate governance committee is to identify individuals qualified to become board members, consistent with
criteria approved by the board, and select the director nominees for election at each annual meeting of stockholders.



- 6 -







Compensation Committee. The compensation
committee consists of William Spier and Jack Bendheim, each of whom our board has determined qualifies as an independent director
under Section 5605(a)(2) of the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, an “outside director” for purposes of Section 162(m)
of the Internal Revenue Code and a “non-employee director” for purposes of Section 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and does not have a relationship to us which is material to his ability
to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member, as described in Section 5605(d)(2)
of the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The function of the compensation committee is to discharge the board of directors’
responsibilities relating to compensation of our directors and executives and our overall compensation programs. The primary objective
of the compensation committee is to develop and implement compensation policies and plans that are appropriate for us in light
of all relevant circumstances and which provide incentives that further our long-term strategic plan and are consistent with our
culture and the overall goal of enhancing enduring stockholder value.



Item 11. Executive Compensation.



Compensation Philosophy and Process



Our executive compensation program is administered
by our compensation committee. The compensation committee determines the percentage increase in the base salary of Mr. and Ms.
Kahn and Mr. Wrubel, subject to certain requirements set forth in their employment agreements, and determines the amount of any
bonus to be awarded to Mr. and Ms. Kahn. The compensation committee is responsible for approving any additional compensation paid
to our named executive officers (e.g., any incentive awards). Mr. and Ms. Kahn participate in decision-making regarding Mr. Wrubel’s
compensation.



Our executive compensation program is administered
with the aim of:



| | · | motivating our executives to enhance stockholder value by tying compensation to company and individual
performance; and
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | ensuring our ability to retain and, if necessary in the future, attract superior executives.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Our named executive officers receive a base
salary and an annual cash bonus as well as benefits that all of our employees receive. We believe we must offer competitive salaries
and other standard benefits to be able to attract, retain and motivate highly-qualified and experienced executives. We believe
that cash compensation for executives in excess of base salary should be tied to some combination of company and individual performance
over the preceding fiscal year.



In setting compensation, the compensation
committee assesses the reasonableness of total compensation levels for our named executive officers. This assessment is made in
part by considering both objective (corporate) and subjective (individual) performance criteria, which are used in determining
the amount of any cash bonus for Mr. and Ms. Kahn and increase in base salary. Mr. Wrubel’s annual cash bonus is determined
based on our earnings before tax. We believe it is necessary to compensate Mr. Wrubel in this manner in order to retain his services.The compensation committee does not establish specific corporate and individual performance targets at the beginning of each
fiscal year, but rather evaluates both corporate and individual performance at the end of the year in connection with determining
the next year’s compensation and awarding any cash bonuses for the previous year.



In assessing individual and company performance,
the compensation committee considers, among other things, the individual’s contributions to our growth, the attainment of
strategic objectives (whether the objectives relate to our product, geographic or customer diversification, expense control, increasing
inventory turn rates, increasing gross profit margins, increasing pre-tax income or other objectives determined by the compensation
committee or the board of directors from time to time) and the management of our assets or personnel.



- 7 -







The compensation committee does not use
any outside compensation consultant in setting the compensation of our named executive officers. In evaluating the performance
of the named executive officers, the compensation committee has access to, and in its discretion may meet with, any of our officers
or other employees. In addition, the compensation committee is cognizant of, and may review and take into account compensation
levels at other public companies in our industry, for whom information about executive pay is publicly available. However, there
are differences between us and these public companies, many of which are larger in terms of market capitalization, share of the
product and geographic markets, and other factors. In addition, these companies generally use much more complex cash and non-cash
compensation schemes than us, and use equity incentives, which do not play a significant role in the compensation of our named
executive officers. We do not issue equity compensation to our named executive officers because they are already substantial equity
holders and we believe that their incentives and interests are generally aligned with those of our other stockholders. For these
reasons, the compensation committee does not engage in any formal benchmarking of our compensation against peer companies, and
does not target our compensation at any set level with reference to peer companies.



We do not make available to our named executive
officers any pension (defined benefit) plans, deferred compensation arrangements or perquisites. These officers do participate
on the same basis as all other employees (that is, on a non-discriminatory basis) in our 401(k) plan and are eligible for the same
medical benefits, including health insurance, as all other employees.



At the request of Mr. and Ms. Kahn, the
compensation committee did not consider whether to award a bonus to Mr. or Ms. Kahn for 2015 or increase compensation for 2016.

years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the compensation earned by our named executive officers: (i) Nathan Kahn, our chief executive

Agreements with Executive Officers



We entered into employment agreements with
each of our named executive officers in 1999. Under the terms of these agreements, the compensation committee has discretion to
determine annually the percentage increase in base salary (no decrease is permissible), provided that such annual increase must
be no less than the increase in the cost of living for the previous year, based upon a local consumer price index. The employment
agreements with Ms. Kahn and Mr. Wrubel are automatically renewed every two years unless either we or the executive officer gives
notice of termination. The current term of Ms. Kahn’s employment agreement will automatically renew unless it is terminated
on September 17, 2017. The current term of Mr. Wrubel’s employment agreement will automatically renew unless it is terminated
on December 31, 2016. Although Mr. Kahn’s employment agreement terminated in 2004, we have continued to provide Mr. Kahn
a base salary calculated in accordance with its terms and to comply with many other terms of the agreement.



- 8 -







The compensation committee generally determines the amount of
any bonus to be awarded to Mr. and Ms. Kahn. Mr. and Ms. Kahn have agreed to allow the compensation committee to determine their
bonuses in whatever manner they deem appropriate. Mr. Wrubel and the compensation committee have agreed that he will receive an
annual bonus equal to 13% of our earnings before tax.



Ms. Kahn and Mr. Wrubel are subject to non-competition
and non-solicitation restrictions under their employment agreements. Ms. Kahn’s employment agreement provides that she will
not, among other things, (i) directly or indirectly be engaged as a principal in any other business activity or conduct that competes
with our business or be an employee, consultant, director, principal, stockholder, advisor of, or otherwise be affiliated with,
any such business, activity or conduct, or (ii) solicit our customers, clients, suppliers, middlemen, non-clerical employees, sales
representatives, agents, or consultants, in each case during her period of employment and the four-year period thereafter, except
that if her employment is terminated for disability, without cause, or by her following a breach by us, such period will terminate
two years after the date of such termination of employment. Mr. Wrubel’s employment agreement provides that, (i) during the
employment term and for a period of 12 months thereafter, he will not, among other things, be engaged in, or be, an employee, director,
partner, principal, stockholder or advisor of any business, activity or conduct that competes with our business and (ii) during
the employment term and for a period of 18 months thereafter, he will not solicit our customers, clients, suppliers, middlemen,
non-clerical employees, sales representatives, agents, or consultants. Following termination of Mr. Wrubel’s employment,
the foregoing will only apply to competition with regard to aluminum and such other commodities as were being sold by us within
six months prior to such termination, except for solicitation regarding our non-clerical employees, sales representatives, agents,
or consultants.



Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change In Control



Our employment agreements do not require
us to make payments or provide other benefits to our named executive officers in the event of a change in control of us or a termination
without cause, except that in the event of a termination without cause, Mr. Wrubel is entitled, generally, to all earned and accrued
but unpaid benefits and other compensation, plus severance equal to his salary for the remaining contract term.



Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End



The following table provides information
on the holdings of stock options of our named executive officers at December 31, 2015.



|              |  | Option Awards                                                        
|------------- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------
|Name          |  | Number of securities  underlying unexercised  options (#) exercisable
|Harvey Wrubel |  |                                                                      



(1) These options are fully vested.



We have not made equity grants to named
executive officers or directors since 2004. However, we could make such grants in the future if deemed necessary or appropriate
by the compensation committee. Stock options and/or restricted stock may be granted from time to time if necessary, for example,
to encourage our named executive officers to continue in their positions or to better align their interests with those of our stockholders.
Such grants could also be made to non-employee directors, for example to provide additional compensation. At such times as we have
issued stock options to executives and directors under our stock option plan, all such grants were made with an exercise price
equal to the closing market price of our common stock at the date of grant.

Option Exercises



On May 20, 2015, we repurchased vested stock
options to purchase 150 shares of common stock from Mr. Wrubel. See “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
and Director Independence.” Aside from the foregoing transaction, there were no other stock options exercised in the ordinary
course by our named executive officers during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.



2006 Stock Option Plan



We maintain the 2006 Stock Option Plan,
which provides for the granting of options to purchase not more than an aggregate of 559,000 shares of common stock. Under the
2006 Stock Option Plan, all canceled or terminated options are available for grants. All officers, directors and employees of the
Company and other persons who perform services for the Company are eligible to participate in the 2006 Stock Option Plan. Some
or all of the options may be “incentive stock options” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.



The 2006 Stock Option Plan provides that
it is to be administered by the board of directors, or by a committee appointed by the board, which will be responsible for determining,
subject to the provisions of the 2006 Stock Option Plan, to whom the options are granted, the number of shares of common stock
subject to an option, whether an option shall be incentive or non-qualified, the exercise price of each option (which, other than
in the case of incentive stock options, may be less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant), the period
during which each option may be exercised and the other terms and conditions of each option. No options may be granted under the
2006 Stock Option Plan after June 26, 2016.

The percentages of common stock beneficially
owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under
the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which
includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of
or to direct the disposition of the security. Except as indicated in the footnotes to this table, to our knowledge and subject
to community property laws where applicable, each beneficial owner named in the table below has sole voting and sole investment
power with respect to all shares beneficially owned and each person’s address is c/o Empire Resources, Inc., 2115 Linwood
Avenue, Fort Lee, New Jersey 07024. As of April 26, 2016 we had 8,492,631 shares outstanding.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,
and Director Independence.



On May 20, 2015, we
repurchased vested stock options to acquire 150 shares of common stock from Harvey Wrubel, our vice president of sales and director,
at a purchase price of $4.36 per option for total cash consideration of $410,250. The purchase price for the option redemption
was based on the closing price of our common stock on the repurchase date, net of the exercise price applicable to each option.



In accordance with
our audit committee charter, the audit committee is required to approve all related party transactions. In general, the audit committee
will review any proposed transaction that has been identified as a related party transaction under Item 404 of Regulation S-K,
which means a transaction, arrangement or relationship in which we and any related party are participants in which the amount involved
exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal
years. A related party includes (i) a director, director nominee or executive officer of us, (ii) a security holder known to be
an owner of more than 5% of our voting securities, (iii) an immediate family member of the foregoing or (iv) a corporation or other
entity in which any of the foregoing persons is an executive, principal or similar control person or in which such person has a
5% or greater beneficial ownership interest.

Director Independence



Our board of directors
has determined that each of Jack Bendheim, Douglas Kass, Nathan Mazurek, Morris J. Smith and William Spier satisfy the requirements
for independence set out in Section 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules and that each of these directors has no material
relationship with us (other than being a director and/or a stockholder). In making its independence determinations, the board of
directors sought to identify and analyze all of the facts and circumstances relating to any relationship between a director, his
immediate family or affiliates and our company and our affiliates and did not rely on categorical standards other than those contained
in the Nasdaq rule referenced above.
