NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Cheetah Net Supply Chain Service Inc. (“Cheetah Net” or the “Company”), formerly known as Yuan Qiu Business Group LLC, was established under the laws of the State of North Carolina on August 9, 2016 as a limited liability company (“LLC”). On March 1, 2022, the Company filed articles of incorporation including articles of conversion with the Secretary of State of the State of North Carolina to convert from an LLC to a corporation, and changed its name to Cheetah Net Supply Chain Service Inc. The Company holds 100% of the equity interests in the following entities:
On September 30, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved its fourth amended and restated articles of incorporation, which authorizes a reverse stock split of the issued shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a ratio ranging from 1-for-10 to 1-for-30, as determined at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors. On October 7, 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-16. On October 21, 2024, the Company effectuated a reverse stock split of its Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-16. Following such reverse split, every 16 shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding were automatically combined into one new share of Common Stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse split; any fractional shares resulting from the reverse split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. The par value per share of the Company’s Common Stock remained unchanged. The Company’s Class A Common Stock started trading on a post-split basis on October 24, 2024, at which time the Class A Common Stock was assigned a new CUSIP number (16307X202).
On March 23, 2026, the Company’s board of directors approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-200. To implement the reverse stock split, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 24, 2026. The reverse stock split became effective at 8:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on April 20, 2026. Following such reverse stock split, every 200 shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding were automatically combined into one new share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split; any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. The par value per share of the Company’s Common Stock remained unchanged. As a result of the reverse stock split, the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock was reduced from 391,177,712 shares to 1,955,889 shares, and the Company’s issued and outstanding Class B Common Stock was reduced from 690,875 shares to 3,456 shares. The Company’s Class A Common Stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on April 29, 2026, at which time the Class A Common Stock was assigned a new CUSIP number, 16307X301.
All share information included in this report has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the aforementioned reverse stock splits as if it had occurred as of the earliest period presented.
Discontinued operations - Parallel-import Vehicles
The Company previously engaged in the business of sourcing and reselling parallel-import vehicles, primarily from the U.S. market to dealers in the U.S. and the PRC. Parallel-import vehicles in the PRC refer to automobiles purchased directly from overseas markets and imported for sale outside of the brand manufacturers’ official distribution networks. In the past, this business contributed significantly to the Company’s revenue. Between 2016 and the first half of 2022, the Company experienced growth in sales volume and gross profit due to favorable market conditions. However, beginning in the second half of 2022, the business was negatively affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related lockdowns in the PRC, a decline in customer demand due to weakening macroeconomic conditions, price competition from luxury automakers in the PRC, and a shift in consumer preference toward domestic electric vehicles (“EVs”).
These market challenges led to a decline in parallel-import vehicle sales by 30.5% in 2023 and a reduction in net income by 87.5% compared to 2022. The decline accelerated in 2024, with vehicle sales decreasing from 303 units in 2023 to 14 units in 2024, resulting in a 95.7% drop in revenue from $38.3 million in 2023 to $1.6 million in 2024. In addition, the financial strains on the Company’s customers made it increasingly difficult to collect outstanding receivables. While the Company successfully recovered $4.0 million in 2024 and collected additional $2.5 million from the five aged accounts as of the date of the report, the remaining $1.6 million from two customers was determined to be uncollectible, as a result, the management recorded as a credit loss of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
As the parallel-import vehicle market conditions continued to deteriorate and sales activity in this segment ceased, management determined that the business no longer had a sustainable path forward. On March 3, 2025, the board of directors formally approved the discontinuation of the parallel-import vehicle business. In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations, the Company determined that the parallel-import vehicle segment met the conditions for reporting as a discontinued operation. As a result, all financial results associated with this business have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. For additional financial details regarding discontinued operations, refer to Note 6-Discontinued Operations.

Logistics and Warehousing Services
The Company’s subsidiary, Edward, operates as a licensed Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier. It manages freight forwarding, including shipment consolidation and carrier selection, aimed at optimizing shipping operations. Edward also provides warehousing services encompassing fulfillment, storage, and inventory management, crucial for supporting both the Company’s operations and its clients’ logistics needs. On April 1, 2026, the Company completed the disposition of Edward pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated March 25, 2026.
The Company’s subsidiary, TWEW, specializes in general labor support services and logistics coordination, providing workforce solutions and operational efficiency tools tailored to the logistics and labor sectors. TWEW’s expertise in labor management and logistical support enables the Company to streamline operations, expand service offering, and enhance market position. The Company is undergoing a business transformation of its business model. The Company is shifting its business focus from parallel-import vehicle sales to logistics and warehousing services. Management continues to focus on improving operational efficiencies and expanding its market presence of the two acquired businesses. The transformation of the Company’s business model could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. The business shift may take longer time than expected to generate ideal profits depending on factors from the business environment and operation management and market expansion.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. As a U.S.-based company operating exclusively within the domestic market and transacting solely in United States Dollars (USD), both the Company’s presentation and functional currencies are the USD. This uniformity simplifies the Company’s financial reporting process and ensures clarity in its financial transactions. The Company’s financial statements, therefore, are presented in USD, in compliance with U.S. GAAP requirements, and provide transparent and straightforward financial information to the Company’s stockholders.
Use of estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, allowance credit losses of accounts receivables and loan receivable from third parties, the revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets, and the realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Going Concern Consideration
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
The Company reported a net operating loss of approximately $0.6 million for three months ended March 31, 2026, and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $2.5 million. As the Company has been transitioning to the logistics and warehousing service business, the Company may continue to incur operating losses and generate negative cash flow. These factors raise doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.7 million and a working capital balance of $47.3 million. In addition, the Company had loan receivable from third parties of approximately $4.4 million, which can be sufficient for the Company to support its ongoing business operations and meet the obligations in the future.
Management has evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern. This evaluation considered the Company’s current financial condition, expected cash flows, obligations due within the next 12 months, and available sources of liquidity.
8
While management understands that the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully execute its new business strategy and eventually attain profitable operations, management has concluded that there are no conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026 have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Risks and uncertainties
The Company is undergoing a business transformation of our business model. As a company located in the U.S. and doing business with the PRC, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by political, economic, and legal environments in the U.S. and the PRC, as well as by the general state of the U.S. and the PRC economies. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory, and social conditions in the U.S. and the PRC.
Risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s business include, but are not limited to, the following:
The Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may also be negatively impacted by risks related to natural disasters, extreme weather conditions, health epidemics, and other catastrophic incidents, which could significantly disrupt the Company’s operations.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in bank and interest-bearing certificates of deposit with an initial term of three months when purchased. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, all cash and cash equivalents were related to continuing operations.
Cash held in Current Accounts
Total cash and cash equivalents shown in the statements of cash flows

Accounts receivable represent the amounts that the Company has an unconditional right to consideration, which are stated at the original amount less an allowance of credit loss, in accordance with the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model under ASC 326. The Company estimates expected credit losses based on a combination of historical loss experience, customer creditworthiness, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forward-looking information. The allowance for credit losses is updated at each reporting period to reflect changes in credit risk. The allowance for credit losses is recorded against accounts receivable balances, with a corresponding charge to the consolidated statements of operations. Delinquent account balances are written off against the allowance when management determines that collection is remote. If previously written-off receivables are subsequently recovered, the Company records a reversal of the allowance for credit losses.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, no allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable from continuing operations was recorded. (See Note 6 – Discontinued Operations for further details.)
The Company’s loans receivable, which consist of loans to third parties, are recognized at the point of loan disbursement, initially measured at fair value, primarily reflecting the disbursed amount and associated transaction costs. Both secured and unsecured lending are encompassed in these receivables, with terms including varying interest rates and maturity dates. Subsequently, these receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, which ensures the accurate recognition of interest income over the loan period. The interest rates for these loans may be subject to change based on the terms of loan agreements. Periodic reviews of the loan portfolio are conducted to assess for impairment, utilizing the expected credit loss model. This approach considers historical credit loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts in estimating potential credit losses. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, no impairment allowance was recorded for the loan receivable.
Under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), investments in private equity fund, which in our case, the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence, is accounted for under the practical expedient in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) to estimate fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) of the investment (“NAV practical expedient”) (ASC 820-10-35-59).
On January 5, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, which amends the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, stipulates that an investment in an investee over which the entity does not have significant influence and which do not have readily determinable fair value and do not qualify for NAV practical expedient, is permitted to elect a practicability exception to fair value measurement, under which the investment will be measured at cost, less impairment, plus or minus observable price changes (in orderly transactions) of an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The ASU clarifies that when identifying observable price changes, an entity should consider relevant transactions “that are known or can reasonably be known” and that an entity is not required to spend undue cost and effort to identify such transactions. The ASU also indicates that an entity should consider a security’s rights and obligations, such as voting rights, distribution rights and preferences, and conversion features, when evaluating whether the security issued by the same issuer is similar to the equity security held by the entity.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company made a deposit of RMB 280 million related to a pending long-term investment.
Property, plant, and equipment, net are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment charges. Depreciation is calculated primarily based on the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives of the assets:
Property, plant, and equipment
Estimated useful life
Motor vehicles
10 years
Leasehold improvements
3-6 years
10
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expenses as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized.
Intangible assets, net
The Company recorded intangible assets with the acquisitions of Edward and TWEW during the first quarter and the fourth quarter of 2024, respectively (see Note 8- Intangible Asset and Goodwill). Intangible assets consist of developed technology, customer relationships, and trade names, which are amortized on a straight-line basis or over their respective useful lives using patterns that reflect the economic benefits the assets are expected to realize. The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.
Amortization of intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as below:
Intangible assets
Developed technology
7 years
Customer relationships
10-12 years
Trade names
The estimated useful lives of intangible assets with finite lives are reassessed if circumstances occur that indicate the original estimated useful lives have changed.
The Company did not recognize any impairment to intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value is defined as 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. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of input used to measure fair value are as follows:
Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, loans receivable, loans payable, and other payables and other current liabilities, approximated the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 based upon the short-term nature of the assets and liabilities.
The Company applied level 3 to obtain the fair value of intangible assets and goodwill. See NOTE 8 — Intangible Asset and Goodwill.
The Company believes that the carrying amount of long-term loans approximated fair value as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 based on the terms of the borrowings and current market rates as the rates of the borrowings are reflective of the current market rates.

Leases
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 842, Leases (“Topic 842”). The Company leases office space, which is classified as operating leases in accordance with Topic 842. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases, usually with an initial term of 12 months or less) on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.
At the commencement date, the Company recognizes the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. The ROU asset is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All ROU assets are reviewed for impairment annually. There was no impairment for ROU lease assets as of March 31, 2026 and 2025.
The Company records goodwill as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is an operating segment, or one level below. The Company has one reporting unit. The Company measures goodwill impairment, if any, as the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
The review of goodwill impairment consists of either using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the assets is less than their respective carrying values or a one-step quantitative impairment test. In performing the qualitative assessment, the Company considers many factors in evaluating whether the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable, including declines in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization of the Company and macroeconomic conditions. If, based on the results of the qualitative assessment, it is concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, additional quantitative impairment testing is performed. The quantitative test requires that the carrying value of each reporting unit be compared with its estimated fair value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit is greater than its fair value, a goodwill impairment charge will be recorded for the difference (up to the carrying value of goodwill). The Company uses the income approach and/or a market-based approach to determine the reporting units’ fair values, which are based on discounted cash flows. The determination of discounted cash flows of the reporting units and assets and liabilities within the reporting units requires significant estimates and assumptions. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held-and-used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If an impairment indicator is present, the Company evaluates recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group to the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset group. If the assets are impaired, an impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate consistent with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not record any impairment.
Revenue recognition
ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. ASC 606 requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance
12
obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. Under the new guidance, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the new guidance requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
The Company generated revenue from the parallel-import vehicle dealership and logistics and warehousing services. Revenue from the parallel-import vehicle dealership business is generated from the sales of parallel-import vehicles to both domestic and overseas parallel-import car dealers. It purchases automobiles from the U.S. market through its team of professional purchasing agents, and mainly resells them to parallel-import car dealers in the U.S. and the PRC. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time when the performance obligation has been satisfied and control of the vehicles has been transferred to the dealers. For sales to U.S. domestic parallel-import car dealers, revenue is recognized when a vehicle is delivered, and its title has been transferred to the dealers. For overseas sales, the Company sells vehicles under Cost and Freight (“CFR”) shipping point terms, and revenue is recognized when a vehicle is loaded on a cargo ship and its title has been transferred to the dealers. The Company accounts for the revenue generated from sales of vehicles on a gross basis as the Company is acting as a principal in these transactions, is subject to inventory risk, has latitude in establishing prices, and is responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide customers the specified goods, which the Company has control of the goods and has the ability to direct the use of goods to obtain substantially all the benefits. All of the Company’s contracts have one single performance obligation as the promise is to transfer the individual vehicle to parallel-import vehicle dealers, and there is no separately identifiable other promise in the contracts. The Company’s vehicles are sold with no right of return and the Company does not provide other credits or sales incentives to parallel-import car dealers. Historically, no customer returns have occurred. Therefore, the Company did not provide any sales return allowances for the period ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
In 2025, the Company started generating revenues from freight forwarding services provided by Edward and general labor and logistics provided by TWEW to corporate and retail clients, including transportation, cargo warehousing, freight forwarding, labor service, and cargo loading and unloading. Revenue for freight forwarding services, both export and import, is recognized when the services are provided. The Company’s role as the principal in these services involves managing the process up to the point where control is transferred based on contractual terms, allowing revenue recognition on a gross basis throughout the transit period. For warehousing services, revenue is primarily derived from storage fees, which are recognized based on the actual number of days the goods are stored in the warehouse while awaiting further transportation. Across all operations, the Company maintains a principal position, controlling the goods and services, bearing inventory and pricing risks, and fulfilling performance obligations directly. Each contract is typically structured with a single performance obligation without allowances for returns or sales incentives. There were no provisions for sales return allowances based on historical experiences of no returns.
Revenue from general labor and logistics services, provided through TWEW, is recognized upon services rendered, based on verified labor hours or project milestones outlined in client agreements, with billing tied to predefined service rates (e.g., per-hour fees or fixed-scope pricing). The Company recognize revenue on a gross basis as the principal service provider, reflecting its contractual obligation to deliver labor solutions to clients, despite outsourcing workforce operations to third parties. Contracts generally consist of a single performance obligation (supplying labor resources), with revenue measured at the transaction price agreed upon in service agreements. No provisions for returns or sales incentives are included, as historical experience indicates no material rights of return or refunds.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company disaggregates its revenue by geographic areas, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Cost of Revenues
Logistics and Warehousing Segment
Cost of logistics and warehousing service revenue mainly includes the cost of freight and fulfillment expenses for freight forwarding services, while cost of labor services comprises payments to third parties for outsourced workforce provisioning, including bundled recruitment, training, and payroll processing. Cost recognition aligns with service delivery progress, validated through subcontractor utilization reports and client acceptance documentation.
General and Administration Expenses
The Company’s general and administrative expenses primarily include employee salaries and benefits, depreciation, office lease expenses, travelling and entertainment expenses, legal and consulting fees, insurance and other miscellaneous administrative expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, general and administration expenses for the continuing operations were $770,004 and $1,000,519, respectively.
Share-based Compensation
The Company has adopted its Amended and Restated 2024 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), for the purpose of providing incentives and rewards to eligible participants who contribute to the success of the Company’s operations. Shareholders, directors, and employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based awards including option, restricted stock, restricted stock unit, dividend equivalent, or other awards that are permitted under the Plan, whereby the recipients render services as consideration for such share-based compensation.
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period. The amount of cost recognized is adjusted to reflect any expected forfeitures prior to vesting. The fair value of stock award is measured at grant date’s per share closing price of the Company’s common stock, and the fair value of option is measured at grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the share-based awards are granted. Where the employees have to meet vesting conditions before becoming unconditionally entitled to the share-based awards, the total estimated fair value of the share-based awards is spread over the vesting period, taking into account the probability that the share-based awards will vest, provided that the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equals the portion of the grant-date value of such award that is vested at that date.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities based on temporary differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates expected to apply when these differences reverse. The impact of tax rate changes is recorded in the period of enactment.
The Company assesses deferred tax assets to determine whether they are realizable. As of March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, as it has generated a three-year cumulative pretax book loss and is forecasting a loss for 2026. Based on this evidence, realization of deferred tax assets is not considered more-likely-than-not at this time.
The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, using a two-step process to determine whether tax positions will be sustained. The Company has concluded that there are no uncertain tax positions requiring recognition as of March 31, 2026 and 2025.
The Company is not subject to the Section 163(j) interest expense limitation, as it qualifies for an exception due to floor plan financing indebtedness.
The Company monitors tax law changes and has determined that no recent changes materially impact the financial statements.
The Company and its U.S. operating subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state income tax laws. Prior to the corporate conversion in 2022, the Company was organized as a limited liability company (“LLC”) and elected to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes from the tax year ended December 31, 2020.
14
As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s consolidated income tax returns for the tax years ended December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2025 remained open for statutory examination by U.S. tax authorities.
(Loss) Earnings per share
The Company computes (loss) earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were no dilutive shares outstanding, as presented in the tables below:

Related parties and transactions
The Company identifies related parties, and accounts for and discloses related party transactions in accordance with ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures” and other relevant ASC standards.
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Corporations are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
Transactions between related parties commonly occurring in the normal course of business are considered to be related party transactions. Transactions between related parties are also considered to be related party transactions even though they may not be given accounting recognition.
Segment reporting
The Company uses the management approach in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions about the allocation of resources of the segment and the assessment of its performance in determining the Company’s reportable operating segments. The Company reported two operating segments: the parallel-import vehicle business and logistics and warehousing services in 2024. Following the discontinuation of the parallel-import vehicles business, during 2025 and the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported a single reportable segment on logistics and warehousing services. Significant segment expenses reviewed by management include cost of revenues, general and administrative expenses, impairment loss expenses, and share-based compensation expenses.

NOTE 5 — DEPOSIT ON LONG-TERM INVESTMENT
On January 6, 2026, Naiside (Shenzhen) International Trading Co., Ltd. (“Naiside”), a subsidiary of NexTrade International LLC, entered into a partnership agreement with Shanghai Kesheng Investment Management Co., Ltd., as general partner and executive partner of the partnership contemplated thereby, in connection with Naiside’s participation as a limited partner in an investment fund in the
PRC. Pursuant to the partnership agreement, Naiside subscribed for a 7.0% limited partnership interest and, on January 29, 2026, Naiside made a capital contribution in the amount of US$40,131,287 to the fund in accordance with the partnership agreement. The fund is intended to invest primarily in China-based companies engaged in logistics technology, compliance technology, and supply chain technology and services, particularly those that provide products or services to customers in the United States and European markets. The fund will focus primarily on companies at venture capital stages, with each individual portfolio investment generally ranging from approximately US$0.7 million to US$7.0 million. The partnership agreement provides that the fund shall pay the general partner an annual management fee equal to 2% of the fund’s paid-in capital, and further provides that, following the exit of any portfolio investment and the fund’s receipt of the applicable proceeds, the fund shall distribute available proceeds to its limited partner, after deducting or reserving for applicable investment principal, the general partner’s entitlement to 30% of the net profits from such exit, and any other amounts payable or required to be reserved under the partnership agreement. The general partner is responsible for the execution of partnership affairs.
As a limited parter, the Company does not have the right to exercise significant influence over the Partnership. In addition, there are no readily determinable fair values for the Partnership. The management determined that it do not qualify for the existing practical expedient in Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) and elected to account this investment under the measurement alternative upon the adoption of ASU 2016-01 (the “Measurement Alternative”).
Following the guidance of 2016-ASU 2026-01, our long-term investment at RMB 280 million, is accounted for under the cost method as the Company had no significant influence over the investee which had no readily determinable fair value. No impairment is recorded for this deposit on long-term investment during the three months.
NOTE 6 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On March 3, 2025, the Company’s board of directors approved the discontinuation of the Company’s parallel-import vehicles business authorizing the writing off of receivables, and winding down of operations in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements — Discontinued Operations, the Company determined that the parallel-import vehicle segment met the conditions for reporting as a discontinued operation. As a result, all financial results associated with this business have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
Accounts Receivable, net
The Company’s parallel-import vehicle business was negatively impacted by deteriorating macroeconomic conditions since the second half of 2022. Several aged accounts receivable were concentrated among four long-term customers, who were in the process of business recovery. These receivables were partially backed by third-party guarantees, providing some assurance of collection. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company collected approximately $4.0 million related to accounts receivable generated in prior periods and earlier in the year. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had gross accounts receivable of approximately $4.1 million.
The Company conducted an initial assessment of collectability and recognized a credit loss of $1.1 million for accounts deemed uncollectible during the first three quarters of 2024. During the year-end CECL reassessment, the Company evaluated expected credit losses based on historical loss trends, customer risk factors, and forward-looking economic conditions, and provided an additional credit loss provision of $475,366 in the fourth quarter of 2024, resulting in a total allowance for credit loss of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company collected an additional $2.5 million of the outstanding balance. The Company had zero account receivable balance after the above-mentioned credit loss of $1.6 million and the subsequent collection of additional $2.5 million outstanding balance.

NOTE 8 — LEASES
The Company leases office spaces from various third parties under non-cancelable operating leases, with terms ranging from 12 to 55 months. The Company considers the renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised in the determination of the lease term and initial measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities. Lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.
The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at the inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company discounts lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.
The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

On July 19, 2024, the Company entered into a non-cancellable operating lease with an independent third party, Zina Development, LLC, for office space in Irvine, California, comprising approximately 15,000 square feet. The lease term commenced on July 23, 2024, and expires on July 31, 2027. The lease is guaranteed by West Buy Media Inc., a North Carolina Corporation 100% owned by the Company’s chief executive officer, Huan Liu, ensuring the Company’s full payment and performance of all obligations under the lease. Monthly base rent payments under this lease range from $42,000 to $45,000, with scheduled increases over the lease term. The office space is designated for general business operations. In accordance with ASC 842, the Company has recognized a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on its balance sheet related to this operating lease.
On April 28, 2023, the Company entered a First Amendment to Lease Agreement (the “Amended Lease”) with one of its landlords, which amended a previous lease agreement between the two parties, whereby the Company leases office space from the landlord with an initial lease term from December 1, 2020 to December 31, 2023. Pursuant to the Amended Lease, the initial lease term was extended for a period commencing January 1, 2024 and expiring February 28, 2027, unless sooner terminated as provided in the Amended Lease. In January, 2025, the Company sent two letters to the lessor requesting to terminate the Amended Lease, as the Company had vacated the property. Subsequent to the foregoing, the Company reviewed the landlord’s internal tenant management system and confirmed that the Company had been removed as an active tenant from the landlord’s system in December 2025, and all the outstanding invoices from February to December 2025 had also been reversed. As a result, the Company’s prior vacating of the premises, and its repeated requests to terminate the Amended Lease, the Company believes that the Amended Lease has been effectively terminated. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a gain of $7,853 for the termination of lease.
The Company’s subsidiary, Edward, entered into a Second Amendment to Lease Agreement with its landlord on May 22, 2023, which amended a previous lease agreement and the first amendment between the parties, whereby Edward leases a warehouse from the landlord with an initial lease term from June 1, 2013 to July 31, 2018. The lease term was extended to July 31, 2023 by the first amendment. The second amendment further extended the lease to August 31, 2028.
The Company entered into a lease arrangement beginning January 1, 2024. The lease initially ran month-to-month through August 31, 2024 and continued on a month-to-month basis thereafter. Both operating lease expenses and short-term lease expenses are recognized in general and administrative expenses. The components of lease expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

On January 24, 2024, Cheetah Net entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of Edward. The transaction closed on February 2, 2024. The gross purchase price was $1.5 million. Consideration paid consisted of $0.3 million of cash and the issuance of 398 shares of Cheetah Net’s Class A common stock with a fair value of $1.2 million. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), it was determined that the fair value of the stock consideration was $0.9 million at the time of the transaction, reflecting a comprehensive evaluation of the stock’s market conditions and liquidity impacted by lock-up period restrictions.
The purchase price was initially recorded on a preliminary basis as of February 2, 2024. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were estimated based on management’s estimates, available information, and supportable assumptions that management considered reasonable. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation. As a result, adjustments were made, particularly concerning the deferred tax liability related to intangible assets, which led to a corresponding adjustment in the value of goodwill.

The Company was not previously subject to the interest expenses limitation under §163(j) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, due to the small business exemption. Its average annual gross receipts for the three tax years preceding 2022 do not exceed the relevant threshold amount ($27 million for 2022). The Company no longer met the small business exception in 2024, but it meets one of the other exceptions to the §163(j) limitation, “floor plan financing indebtedness” (indebtedness used to finance the acquisition of motor vehicles held for sale or lease or secured by such inventory) and will therefore continue to be exempt from the §163(j) interest expenses limitation in 2026.

Business Overview and Recent Developing Trends
We are a provider of logistics and warehousing services, historically in connection with the sale of parallel-import vehicles sourced in the U.S. to be sold in the PRC market, and more recently for the transportation of other goods between the U.S. and the PRC. Parallel-import vehicles in the PRC refer to automobiles purchased directly from overseas markets and imported for sale outside of the brand manufacturers’ official distribution networks.
Between 2016 and the first half of 2022, the Company experienced growth in sales volume and gross profit due to favorable market conditions. Beginning in the second half of 2023, the business was negatively affected by a decline in customer demand due to weakening macroeconomic conditions, price competition from luxury automakers in the PRC, and a shift in consumer preference toward domestic EVs. These market challenges led to a decline in parallel-import vehicle sales by 30.5% in 2023, and 95.7% in 2024, with vehicle sales declining to 14 units in 2024 from 303 units in 2023. In addition, the Company recorded a credit loss of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, due to the increasing difficulty in collecting outstanding receivables.
On March 3, 2025, the Company’s board of directors approved the discontinuation of the Company’s parallel-import vehicle business. In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations, all financial results associated with this business have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. For additional financial details regarding discontinued operations, refer to Note 6 – Discontinued Operations.
The Company shifted its business focus since February 2024 by acquiring Edward to provide services related to international trades between the PRC and the U.S., and relocating its headquarter in July 2024 to Irvine, California, to utilize the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The Company further expanded into labor and logistics service by acquiring TWEW in December 2024.
Additionally, on December 19, 2024, we acquired 100% membership interest of NexTrade, a Delaware limited liability company for the consideration of $1. As of the date of this quarterly report, NexTrade has not been engaged in any business operations.
Further, on March 28, 2025, we incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Cheetah BVI, in the British Virgin Islands. The incorporation of Cheetah BVI is intended to support our future international business development and facilitate potential global partnerships. As of the date of this quarterly report, Cheetah BVI has not commenced operations.
On January 27, 2026, the Company entered into stock purchase agreements with certain investors for the sale of an aggregate of 167,250 shares of Class A common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $40.14 million in a private placement pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The private placement closed on February 12, 2026.
On February 2, 2026, we effected a change in our state of incorporation from the State of North Carolina to the State of Delaware by filing with the Secretary of State of the State of North Carolina the applicable Article of Conversion and by filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Delaware Certificate of Conversion and the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation.
On March 25, 2026, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Bing Shao, a non-U.S. individual, and Edward, pursuant to which we agreed to sell, assign, transfer, and deliver to Bing Shao 100% of the shares of common stock of Edward for an aggregate purchase price of $20,000. On April 1, 2026, the transaction was closed.
On April 16, 2026, we entered into a Share Transfer Agreement with Leyan Yang, a non-U.S. individual, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire 100% of the issued shares of Super International Trading Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong, for an aggregate cash consideration of $4,980,000. As of the date of this quarterly report, the share transfer has not been closed yet.
April 2026 Reverse Stock Split
On February 3, 2026, our board of directors approved and adopted one or more potential amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to effect one or more reverse stock splits of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, consisting of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at such ratio or ratios as shall be determined by the board of directors in its sole discretion, provided that the aggregate ratio of all such reverse stock splits shall not exceed 1-for-500, to be effected at such time or times within 12 months following the approval of the Company’s stockholders.
On February 3, 2026, FAIRVIEW EASTERN INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED and Huan Liu, collectively holding shares of Class B common stock representing approximately 79.16% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company as of that date, approved and adopted the potential amendments and the reverse stock splits through a written consent in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders. Such corporate actions became effective on March 10, 2026, which was 20 calendar days after the Company mailed the definitive information statement on Schedule 14C filed with the SEC on February 13, 2026.
Following the approval of our stockholders, on March 23, 2026, our board of directors approved a reverse stock split of the common stock at a ratio of 1-for-200. To implement the reverse stock split, the Company filed its Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware on March 24, 2026. The Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation became effect at 8:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on April 20, 2026.
Following such reverse stock split, every 200 shares of common stock outstanding were automatically combined into one new share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split; any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. The par value per share of the common stock remained unchanged. Our Class A common stock started trading on a post-split basis on April 29, 2026, at which time the Class A common stock was assigned a new CUSIP number (16307X301). Additionally, at the Effective Time, proportionate adjustments were made to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2024 Stock Incentive Plan based on the Reverse Stock Split Ratio, including adjustments to the number of shares available for awards and the exercise price of outstanding awards.

Revenue from Edward decreased by 36.5% to $39,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $62,515 for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to reduced business activities and customer volume at Edward in anticipation of the planned sale of the entity.
On March 25, 2026, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Bing Shao, a non-U.S. individual, and Edward, pursuant to which we agreed to sell, assign, transfer, and deliver to Bing Shao 100% of the shares of common stock of Edward for an aggregate purchase price of $20,000. On April 1, 2026, the transaction was closed. We will continue to focus on improving operational efficiencies and expanding our market presence of TWEW in the California area.
Revenue from TWEW decreased by 87.3% to $53,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $417,284 for the same period in 2025, primarily due to reduced customer demand following changes in tariff policies in 2025.

Cost of revenues attributable to TWEW was $53,000, representing 72.8% of total cost of revenues in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $381,733 for the same period in 2025, representing a decrease of $328,733, or 86.1%, consistent with the corresponding decline in revenue from TWEW.

The decrease was mainly due to (i) a decrease of $165,038 in legal and accounting fees as we recorded the accounting fee for annual audit for Fiscal Year 2024 in the first quarter of 2025, (ii) a decrease of $75,908 in payroll and benefits expense due to staff optimization and cost-saving measures, (iii) a decrease of 28,280 in rental and leases, primarily due to the termination of one of the Company’s office leases, (iv) a decrease of $15,572 in insurance expenses resulting from a change in our insurance provider, (v) a decrease of $10,370 in travel and entertainment expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as the Company reduced discretionary spending and maintained tighter controls over non-essential expenses, (vii) a decrease of $4,560 in depreciation and amortization expenses, as we did an impairment loss on intangible assets in 2025, partially offset by (vi) an increase of $1,862 in recruiting expenses, and (ⅷ) an increase of $67,351 of other miscellaneous general and administration expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to the increase of other profession fee for TWEW.
Share-based compensation expenses were $14,182 and $16,185 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, representing a decrease of $2,003, or 12.4%.

Interest income from continuing operations was $151,142 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $208,090 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing a decrease of 56,948, or 27.4%. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in average outstanding loan balances as certain borrowers repaid a portion of their loans, resulting in lower interest income.
Interest expense incurred from our continuing operations was $7,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which slightly decreased by $1,112, or 12.6%, from $8,812 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, mainly due to primarily due to lower interest incurred on premium finance arrangements.
Income Tax (Benefits)
Our income tax provision for continuing operations was 4,400 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with income tax benefits of approximately $5,355 for the same period in 2025.
As a result of the above factors, we had a net loss of $616,265 from our continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a net loss of $753,909 for the same period of 2025.
Discontinued Operations -Parallel- Import vehicle Business
As disclosed in Note 6 – Discontinued Operations, our Board approved the discontinuation of our parallel-import vehicle business on March 3, 2025. The Company fully exited its parallel-import vehicle business during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company did not generate any income or incur any expenses from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, our primary uses of cash have been to finance the working capital needs. We believe that we will be able to fund current operations and other commitments for at least the next 12 months from operating cash flow and proceeds from the capital infusion which were held in our cash and cash equivalents.
We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changes in business conditions or other future developments. If these sources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities could result in additional dilution to stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financial covenants that would restrict operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
As of March 31, 2026, we had current assets of $48.4 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $0.7 million, $4.4 million in loan receivables, $0.7 million of other receivables, $2.4 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and $40.1 million in deposit
38
on long-term investment from continuing operations. Our current liabilities, all of which related to continuing operations, totaled approximately $1.1 million, consisting of $0.6 million of operating lease liabilities, $0.4 million of other payables, $0.1 million of the current portion of long-term borrowings and loan payable from Premium Finance. The Company also had $0.6 million of long-term borrowings payable, and $0.4 million of operating lease liabilities, long-term portion.
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, with continuing operations and discontinued operations presented separately:

Net (decrease) increase in cash
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that no controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officers, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026 and determined that the disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective at a reasonable assurance level as of that date.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d -15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not currently involved in any material legal proceedings. From time-to-time we are, and we anticipate that we will be, involved in legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business and otherwise. The ultimate costs to resolve any such matters could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements. We could be forced to incur material expenses with respect to these legal proceedings, and in the event that there is an outcome in any that is adverse to us, our financial position and prospects could be harmed.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item. You are encouraged to read the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 20, 2026. In addition, during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026, the risks described below have newly arisen or become material, and you are encouraged read them together with the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Our investment in a PRC venture capital fund may cause us to be deemed an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
On January 6, 2026, Naiside entered into a partnership agreement with Shanghai Kesheng Investment Management Co., Ltd., as general partner and executive partner, in connection with Naiside’s participation as a limited partner in a venture capital investment fund in the PRC. Pursuant to the partnership agreement, Naiside subscribed for a 7.0% limited partnership interest and made a capital commitment of approximately US$40.0 million to the venture capital fund. On January 29, 2026, Naiside made a capital contribution of US$40,131,287 to the venture capital fund in accordance with the partnership agreement. The venture capital fund is intended to invest primarily in China-based companies engaged in logistics technology, compliance technology, and supply chain technology and services, particularly companies that provide products or services to customers in the United States and European markets. The venture capital fund will focus primarily on companies at venture capital stages, with each individual portfolio investment generally ranging from approximately US$0.7 million to US$7.0 million. The general partner is responsible for the execution of the partnership’s affairs.
As a result of this investment, a significant portion of our assets may consist of securities or interests in a venture capital fund. We do not intend to become an “investment company” as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. However, depending on the composition and value of our assets, including the value of our limited partnership interest in the venture capital fund, and the manner in which our business and investment activities are conducted, we may be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act. In particular, if our investment securities were to exceed applicable thresholds under the Investment Company Act and we were unable to rely on an available exemption, exclusion or other relief, we could be required to register as an investment company.
Registration as an investment company would subject us to a comprehensive regulatory regime that is inconsistent with our intended business strategy and operations, including restrictions on our capital structure, leverage, issuance of securities, transactions with affiliates, custody of assets, governance, reporting obligations, and the manner in which we conduct our business. Compliance with these requirements could be costly and burdensome and could require us to materially alter our business strategy, dispose of certain assets, restructure or unwind our investment in the venture capital fund, or limit our ability to pursue strategic transactions or other business opportunities. If we were deemed to be an investment company and failed to register or qualify for an exemption, exclusion or other relief, we could be subject to regulatory enforcement actions, monetary penalties, restrictions on our operations and adverse consequences with respect to our contracts and securities offerings. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our securities.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
The July 2024 Offering
The following “Use of Proceeds” information relates to the registration statement on Form S-1 (File Number 333-280743) for the July Offering, which was declared effective by the SEC on July 15, 2024. We issued and sold an aggregate of 2,025 shares of Class A common stock, at a price of $736.00 per share for gross proceeds of $1.49 million before deducting offering related expenses. FT Global Capital, Inc. was the exclusive placement agent of such offering.
We incurred approximately $395,000 in expenses in connection with the July Offering, which included approximately $110,000 in placement agent fees, approximately $35,000 in expenses paid to or for the placement agent, and approximately $250,000 in other expenses. None of the transaction expenses included payments to directors or officers of our Company or their associates, persons owning more than 10% or more of our equity securities or our affiliates. None of the net proceeds we received from the July Offering were paid, directly or indirectly, to any of our directors or officers or their associates, persons owning 10% or more of our equity securities or our affiliates.
The net proceeds raised from the July Offering were approximately $1.1 million after offering expenses. As of the date of this quarterly report, we have used $200,000 from the proceeds raised from the July Offering as the cash consideration for the acquisition of TWEW. We intend to use the remaining proceeds raised from the July Offering in the manner disclosed in our registration statement on Form S-1 (File Number 333-280743).
To support our overall liquidity, the Company strategically deployed a portion of the July offering proceeds through short-term loan arrangements, which are recorded as loan receivables. These financing activities are intended to optimize cash utilization by generating interest income while preserving capital flexibility for future operational needs or strategic initiatives.
The February 2026 Private Placement
On February 12, 2026, we closed a private placement (the “February 2026 Private Placement”) pursuant to certain stock purchase agreements dated January 27, 2026 (the “Stock Purchase Agreements”) with certain investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which we issued an aggregate of 167,250 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), for aggregate gross proceeds of $40.14 million. The Shares issued in the February 2026 Private Placement were not registered under the Securities Act and were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S promulgated thereunder. Each of the Purchasers represented to us that such Purchaser is not a resident of the United States and is not a “U.S. person” as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the Securities Act, and that such Purchaser did not acquire the Shares for the account or benefit of any U.S. person. The Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
On January 6, 2026, Naiside (Shenzhen) International Trading Co., Ltd. (“Naiside”), a subsidiary of NexTrade International LLC, entered into a partnership agreement with Shanghai Kesheng Investment Management Co., Ltd., as general partner and executive partner of the partnership contemplated thereby, in connection with Naiside’s participation as a limited partner in an investment fund in the PRC. Pursuant to the partnership agreement, Naiside subscribed for a 7.0% limited partnership interest and, on January 29, 2026, Naiside made a capital contribution in the amount of US$40,131,287 to the fund in accordance with the partnership agreement. The fund is intended to invest primarily in China-based companies engaged in logistics technology, compliance technology, and supply chain technology and services, particularly those that provide products or services to customers in the United States and European markets. The fund will focus primarily on companies at venture capital stages, with each individual portfolio investment generally ranging from approximately US$0.7 million to US$7.0 million. The partnership agreement provides that the fund shall pay the general partner an annual management fee equal to 2% of the fund’s paid-in capital, and further provides that, following the exit of any portfolio investment and the fund’s receipt of the applicable proceeds, the fund shall distribute available proceeds to its limited partner, after deducting or reserving for applicable investment principal, the general partner’s entitlement to 30% of the net profits from such exit, and any other amounts payable or required to be reserved under the partnership agreement. The general partner is responsible for the execution of partnership affairs. Naiside’s capital contribution to the fund was funded entirely with the proceeds from the February 2026 Private Placement. After giving effect to such investment, all proceeds from the February 2026 Private Placement had been used, and no such proceeds remained available to the Company.
The 2026 ATM Offering
On March 31, 2026, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement with AC Sunshine Securities LLC, pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, offer and sell shares of its Class A Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100,000,000 through an “at-the-market” offering program. The following “Use of Proceeds” information relates to the at-the-market offering program (the “ATM Offering”) established pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Number 333-281820), which was declared effective by the SEC on September 6, 2024 and a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on April 2, 2026. Under the ATM Offering, we may offer and sell shares of our Class A Common Stock from time to time, for an aggregate offering price of up to $70,000,000, through AC Sunshine Securities LLC, acting as our sales agent (the “Sales Agent”). We will pay the Sales Agent a commission of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of shares under the ATM Offering.
As of March 31, 2026, no shares of our Class A common stock had been sold under the ATM Offering, and we had not received any proceeds therefrom. As of the date of this quarterly report, the Sales Agent has sold an aggregate of 1,775,000 shares of our Class A common stock at an average offering price of $18.21 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $32.3 million. We have incurred approximately $3.6 million in expenses in connection with the ATM Offering, including $3.5 million in expenses paid to or for the account of the Sales Agent, commissions and clearing fees, and $0.1 million in other expenses. None of the offering expenses consisted of payments to any directors or officers of the Company or their associates, any persons owning 10% or more of our equity securities, or any of our affiliates.
As of the date of this quarterly report, after deducting offering expenses, we received net proceeds of approximately $28.7 million from the ATM Offering, of which approximately $3.5 million was used to acquire Super International Group Limited. None of such net proceeds were paid, directly or indirectly, to any of our directors or officers or their associates, any persons owning 10% or more of our equity securities, or any of our affiliates.
