NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)
| (d) | Discontinued Operations - CEGE, CAE and Cenntro EV Center Italy S.R.L |
|---|
In November 2024, the Company decided to restructure its European operations by phasing out the existing subsidiary-based direct sales model and implementing a centralized dealership distribution system. This strategic shift aims to appoint qualified regional distributors with proven market penetration capabilities, thereby reducing reliance on maintaining local operational entities.
Concurrently, the Company is reallocating capital and managerial resources to accelerate growth in its core markets of North America and Asia.
As a result of this strategic shift, three European subsidiaries: CEGE, Cenntro Automotive Europe GmbH (“CAE”), and Cenntro EV Center Italy S.R.L. (“the disposal group”) were scheduled for structured dissolution in 2024. (i) The Company commenced the wind-down of Cenntro EV Center Italy S.R.L’s operations in 2025 and deregistration was completed as of January 14, 2026; (ii) CAE initiated insolvency proceedings in 2025 and the court formally opened insolvency proceedings for CAE on June 18, 2026; (iii) CEGE initiated insolvency proceedings in June 2026, and the court appointed a provisional insolvency administrator on June 9, 2026. Upon CEGE and CAE entering insolvency, the Company lost full governance control over their 25% and 75% equity interests in Antric respectively, leading to consequential deconsolidation of Antric effective June 18, 2026. However, Antric does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation standalone, as its revenue, asset scale and strategic weight are immaterial to the consolidated group and its exit does not constitute a separate strategic shift under ASC 205-20.
Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes reflect the results the disposal group as a discontinued operation for the periods presented in accordance with ASC 210-05, Discontinued Operations represented the disposal group a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Further, the related current and non-current assets and liabilities associated with the disposal group are reflected as held for sale in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, all assets and liabilities of CEGE and CAE were fully derecognized following deconsolidation on June 9 and June 18, 2026, respectively, with no held-for-sale balances remaining on the balance sheet. The numbers in all of the relevant footnote disclosures are also adjusted for the current year and comparative periods. No loss was recognized on the initial measurement of the disposal group as held for sale. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, total deconsolidation loss of $4.7 million was recorded, including $2.3 million from CEGE presented in discontinued operations and $0.5 million from CAE presented in discontinued operations, and $1.9 million from Antric presented in continuing operations.
The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities of CEGE, CAE and Cenntro EV Center Italy S.R.L. included in assets and liabilities of discontinued operations were as follows:

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
| (a) | Basis of presentation |
|---|
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2026 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Certain information and disclosures, which are normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or any future periods.
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and combination.
| (b) | Use of estimates |
|---|
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates and judgments applied in determination of provision for credit losses, lower of cost and net realizable value of inventories, impairment losses for long-lived assets and investments, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and fair value measurement for share-based compensation expense, convertible promissory notes and warrants. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.
| (c) | Fair value measurement |
|---|
ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. These tiers include:
Level 1—defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2—defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3—defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company’s financial instruments not reported at fair value primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, amount due from and to related parties, accounts payable and other current liabilities and short-term loans.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and other current assets, accounts payable, other current liabilities, bank loans and amount due from and to related parties, current were approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these items. The estimated fair values of loans from third parties were not materially different from their carrying value as presented due to the brief maturities and because the interest rates on these borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturities and risk profiles.
Currency-cross swap was classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they were valued using quoted prices in active markets. As the issuer is not yet listed and there are no similar companies in the market at the same stage of development for comparison, the investment is difficult to value, and the valuation is not considered reliable. Therefore, the Company develop its own assumption by future cash flow forecast, which contains principal paid and interests accrued.
The fair value option provides an election that allows a company to irrevocably elect to record certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis at initial recognition. The Company has elected to apply the fair value option to: i)convertible promissory notes payable due to the complexity of the various conversion and settlement options available to notes holders; and ii) currency-cross swap, which was recognized as derivative financial instruments. Specifically, positive fair values of cross-currency swaps are classified as short-term investments in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, and negative fair values of such instruments are recorded in other current liabilities.
The convertible promissory notes payable accounted for under the fair value option election are each a debt host financial instrument containing embedded features that would otherwise be required to be bifurcated from the debt-host and recognized as separate derivative liabilities subject to initial and subsequent periodic estimated fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. Notwithstanding, when the fair value option election is applied to financial liabilities, bifurcation of an embedded derivative is not required, and the financial liability is initially measured at its issue-date estimated fair value and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis as of each reporting period date.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The portion of the change in fair value attributed to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk is recognized as a component of other comprehensive income and the remaining amount of the fair value adjustment is recognized as changes in fair value of convertible promissory notes and derivative liabilities in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. The estimated fair value adjustment is presented in a respective single line item within other expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations because the change in fair value of the convertible notes was not attributable to instrument-specific credit risk.
In connection with the issuances of convertible promissory notes, the Company issued investor warrants and placement agent warrants to purchase warrant shares of the Company. The Company utilizes a Binomial model to estimate the fair value of the warrants, which are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The warrants are measured at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations.
As a practical expedient, the Company uses Net Asset Value (“NAV”) or its equivalent to measure the fair value of its certain fund investment. The Company’s investments valued at NAV as a practical expedient are private equity funds, which represent the investment in equity security on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company evaluates whether NAV remains representative of fair value at each reporting date, considering, among other factors, liquidity restrictions, the financial condition of the investee, and the ability to realize returns. Adjustments may be required to reflect the specific characteristics that market participants would consider in pricing the investment.
| (d) | Revenue recognition |
|---|
The Company recognizes revenue when goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining when and how revenue is recognized from contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step analysis: (i) identification of a contract with the customer; (ii) determination of performance obligations; (iii) measurement of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
The Company generates revenue primarily through sales of light-duty ECVs, sales of ECV parts, and sales of off-road electric vehicles.
The promised warranty does not provide the clients with a service in addition to the assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon contract specifications and is considered an assurance warranty. The warranty is not considered separate performance obligations and no revenue is associated with these services under ASC 606. Historically, the Company has not experienced material costs for quality assurance and, therefore, does not believe an accrual for these costs is necessary.
Revenue is recognized upon the satisfaction of its performance obligation (upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers) in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example, value added taxes).
The Company acts as a principal in the revenue generating process and should recognize revenue on a gross basis. Revenues are measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products to customers. The transaction price is generally fixed as specified in the contracts. The Company’s contracts do not include explicit rights of return, and variable consideration is not significant.
All transactions are settled in cash within the normal credit period, and there is no financing component.
Shipping, handling costs and freight-out expenses for product shipments that occur prior to the customer obtaining control of the goods are accounted for as fulfilment costs rather than separate performance obligations and are recorded as selling and marketing expenses. These costs primarily include domestic transportation and other logistics expenses incurred prior to export under EXW, FOB or FCA arrangements, or costs incurred before delivery to customers.
The following table disaggregated the Company’s revenues by product line for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Contract Balances
Timing of revenue recognition was once the Company has determined that the customer has obtained control over the product. Accounts receivable represent revenue recognized for the amounts invoiced and/or prior to invoicing when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation and has an unconditional right to the payment.
Contract liabilities primarily represent the Company’s obligation to transfer additional goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration. The consideration received remains a contractual liability until goods or services have been provided to the customer. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $365,239 and $568,035 revenue that was included in contractual liabilities as of January 1, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The following table provided information about receivables and contract liabilities from contracts with customers:

| (e) | Recently issued accounting standards pronouncements |
|---|
The Company is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, EGC can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. As a result, the Company’s operating results and financial statements may not be comparable to the operating results and financial statements of other companies who have adopted the new or revised accounting standards.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This new guidance is designed to improve the disclosures about the types of expenses, including employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, and costs incurred related to inventory and manufacturing activities. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01 to clarify certain provisions of ASU 2024-03, including its effective date and transition guidance. As clarified, the amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The guidance should be applied prospectively, with an option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, which amends ASC 326-20 to address the measurement of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. The update introduces a practical expedient available to all entities and an accounting policy election specifically for non-public business entities that adopt the practical expedient, aiming to simplify and reduce the cost complexity associated with estimating expected credit losses for such financial assets. The guidance was developed in conjunction with the Private Company Council to respond to stakeholder concerns regarding the burdens of existing credit loss estimation requirements for these transactions. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and expects to adopt the guidance in its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2027.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The amendments in this update improve interim financial reporting by clarifying and simplifying certain disclosure requirements and aligning interim reporting with existing annual disclosure requirements in specific areas. The amendments are intended to reduce complexity while maintaining decision-useful information for investors. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and expects to adopt the guidance when it becomes effective for the Company.
Except as mentioned above, the Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive loss and statements of cash flows.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company recognized full impairment of Able 2rent GmbH (DEU). The impairment was primarily due to a sustained decline in the investee’s operating performance and the lack of sufficient, reliable financial and operational information to support the recoverability of the carrying amount. Due to the liquidation of CAE during the first half of 2026, there was no remaining carrying value of this investment as of June 30, 2026. |

Upon the completion of the transaction, the Company obtained 12% of equity interest in EEE Truck Solutions Group Inc. (the “EEE”), with no significant influence which leads the transaction to be in the scope of ASC 321 and the investment was recorded as an equity investment without readily determinable fair value, with initial cost based on the fair value of the vehicles transferred which is in accordance with ASC 606-10-32-21 through 24 based on the selling price of the goods promised to the customer due to the lack of fair value of the equity interests in EEE acquired. |
| (c) | Debt security investments |
|---|
On July 24, 2023, the Company purchased a $1,000,000 convertible note (the “Convertible Note”) from third party Acton, Inc. (the “Issuer”), with the interest rate of 5% per annum and due in June 2024. At any time on or after the maturity date, the convertible loan will convert into shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest of the convertible loan as of the date of such conversion by the applicable conversion price. In July and August 2023, the Company paid a total amount of $600,000 to the Issuer. On August 30, 2024, the two parties made amendments to the purchase agreement to reduce the total purchase amount from $1,000,000 to $600,000 and extend the maturity date to July 24, 2025. On August 7, 2025, the two parties made amendments to extend the maturity date to July 24, 2026. Before the Maturity Date, the Issuer is entitled to calling for immediate conversion of the Convertible Note (for amount of full principal and accrued interest as of the date of conversion) provided that any of the following three conditions is satisfied: i) The Issuer closes a financing transaction of not less than $3,000,000 with pre-money valuation not lower than $38,250,000; ii) A person or entity, or a group acquires more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the Issuer or all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer; iii) The Issuer completes an initial public offering at a major US stock exchange with total market cap not lower than $38,250,000.
Given Acton’s limited operating scale, declining revenue, weak liquidity and the uncertain recoverability of its assets, management concluded that the recoverability of future cash flows associated with this financial asset is highly uncertain. Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized full credit loss of this investment.
On May 14, 2026, Acton, Inc. was filed a Certificate of Dissolution with the Nevada Secretary of State, ending all corporate powers of the issuer. Accordingly, the Company wrote off the full carrying value of this debt security investment for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Lease expense for lease payments is 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 sheets.
The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease.
The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Redemption feature
If the Company shall carry out one or more subsequent financings in excess of $25,000,000 in gross proceeds, the holder shall have the right to (i) require the Company to first use up to 10% of the gross proceeds of such subsequent financing if the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Note is in excess of $30,000,000 and (ii) require the Company to first use up to 20% of the gross proceeds of such subsequent financing if the outstanding principal amount of the Note is $30,000,000 or less to redeem all or a portion of this Note for an amount in cash equal to the Mandatory Redemption Amount equal to 1.08 multiplied by the sum of principal amount subject to the mandatory redemption, plus accrued but unpaid interest, plus liquidated damages, if any, and any other amounts.
In addition, if the closing price of the common stock on the principal trading market is below the floor price of $1.00 per share for a period often consecutive trading days, the holder shall have the right to require the Company to redeem the sum of principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest under the Note.

Commencing 5 days after the occurrence of any event of default, the interest shall accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 10% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.
The financial liability was initially measured at its issue-date estimated fair value and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date.

NOTE 17 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litig ation
The Company may be involved in various legal proceedings, claims and other disputes arising from the commercial operations, projects, employees and other matters which, in general, are subject to uncertainties and in which the outcomes are not predictable. The Company determines whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. Although the outcomes of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted, the Company does not believe these actions, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
On July 22, 2022, Xiongjian Chen (the “Plaintiff”) filed a complaint against Cenntro Electric Group Limited (“CENN”), Cenntro Automotive Group Limited (“CAG”), Cenntro Enterprise Limited (“CEL”) and Peter Z. Wang (“Wang,” together with CENN, CAG and CEL, the “Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The complaint alleges eleven causes of action sounding in contract and tort against the Defendants, all pertaining to stock options issued to Mr. Chen pursuant to his employment as Chief Operating Officer of CAG. With respect to thefour contract claims, Plaintiff alleges breach of contract claims pertaining to an employment agreement between Plaintiff and CAG and a purported letter agreement between Plaintiff and CEL. With respect to theseven tort claims, Plaintiff alleges claims regarding purported misrepresentations and promises made concerning the treatment of Plaintiff’s stock options upon a corporate transaction, including claims for tortious interference, fraud, promissory estoppel, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment and conversion. The complaint seeks, among other things, monetary damages (including compensatory and consequential damages) in the amount of $19 million, plus interest, attorneys’ fees and expenses. Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint against all Defendants for failure to state a claim and for lack of personal jurisdiction over defendants CAG and CEL. On April 30, 2023, the District Court dismissed the claims against CAG and CEL for lack of personal jurisdiction. In addition, the District Court dismissed all the claims against Wang and CENN without prejudice and permitted the Plaintiff to amend his complaint within 30 days to address the deficiencies in his claims against Wang and CENN. On May 28, 2023, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On July 20, 2023 the Defendants filed a motion seeking the dismissal of that amended complaint. On September 22, 2023,the Plaintiff filed to oppose our Motion to Dismiss and Motion to Strike. The Defendants filed our reply briefs by the deadline on November 9, 2023. On January 25, 2024, the Magistrate Judge entered an Order granting Plaintiff’s Motion to Amend and denying our Motion to Strike as moot. On November 12, 2024, District Court issued an Order, dismissing Plaintiff’s all claims except with respect to the promissory estoppel claim against Peter Wang. On November 26, 2024, the defendants filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the Court’s denial of Cenntro’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s promissory estoppel claim against Peter Wang. Concurrently, on same date Plaintiff moved for reconsideration of the Court’s decision to dismiss the case as against CAG for lack of personal jurisdiction. On December 30, 2024, the Defendant filed a Reply in Further Support of Peter Wang’s Motion for Reconsideration, which, in accordance with the Court’s practices, was filed as part of a Motion for Leave to File a Reply Brief, against which the Plaintiff filed an Opposition on January 17, 2025.
