Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report of Cenntro Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Cenntro” and the “Company”) contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions
of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. These statements appear in several different places in this Quarterly Report
and, in some cases, can be identified by words such as “anticipates”, “estimates”, “projects”, “expects”, “contemplates”, “intends”, “believes”, “plans”, “may”, “will” or their negatives or other comparable words, although not all forward-looking
statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report may include, but are not limited to, statements and/or information related to: our financial performance and projections; our business prospects and
opportunities; our business strategy and future operations; the projection of timing and delivery of products in the future; projected costs; expected production capacity; expectations regarding demand and acceptance of our products; estimated
costs of machinery to equip a new production facility; trends in the market in which we operate; the plans and objectives of management; our liquidity and capital requirements, including cash flows and uses of cash; trends relating to our industry;
plans relating to our electric vehicles (“EVs”); and plans and intentions to regain compliance with the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), including, among other things, through a reverse stock split.
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations about future events on information that is available as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and any forward-looking
statements made by us speak only as of the date on which they are made. While we believe these expectations are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Our
actual future results may differ materially from those discussed or implied in our forward-looking statements for various reasons, including, our ability to change the direction of the Company; our ability to keep pace with new technology and
changing market needs; our capital needs, and the competitive environment of our business. Additional Factors that could contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to:
●
general economic and business conditions, including changes in interest rates;
●
prices of other EVs, costs associated with manufacturing EVs and other economic conditions;
●
the effect of an outbreak of disease or similar public health threat, or natural phenomena on the Company’s business;
●
the impact of political unrest, natural disasters or other crises, terrorist acts, acts of war and/or military operations, and our ability to maintain or broaden our business relationships and develop new
relationships with strategic alliances, suppliers, customers, distributors or otherwise;
●
breaches in data security, failure of information security systems, cyber-attacks or other security or privacy-related incidents affecting us or our suppliers;
●
the ability of our information technology systems or information security systems to operate effectively;
●
actions by government authorities, including changes in government regulation and ongoing and anticipated changes in the United States political environment, including those resulting from the current presidential
administration, and its control of Congress;
●
the implementation of changes to the existing tariff regime by the current presidential administration and measures taken in response to such tariffs by foreign governments;
●
risks associated with obtaining orders and executing upon such orders or the unavailability, reduction, elimination and adverse application of government subsidies and incentives or any challenge to or failure by
the federal government, states or other governmental entities to adopt or enforce regulations such as the California Air Resource Board’s Advanced Clean Fleet regulation;
●
changes in attitude toward environmental, social, and governance matters among regulators, investors, and parties with which we do business
●
uncertainties associated with legal proceedings;
●
changes in the size of the EV market;
●
future decisions by management in response to changing conditions;
●
the Company’s ability to execute prospective business plans;
●
misjudgments in the course of preparing forward-looking statements;
●
the Company’s ability to raise sufficient funds to carry out its proposed business plan;
Table of Contents
●
inability to keep up with advances in EV and battery technology;
●
inability to design, develop, market and sell new EVs and services that address additional market opportunities to generate revenue and positive cash flows;
●
dependency on certain key personnel and any inability to retain and attract qualified personnel;
●
inexperience in mass-producing EVs;
●
inability to succeed in establishing, maintaining and strengthening the Cenntro brand;
●
disruption of supply or shortage of raw materials and supply chain disruptions, including constraints on steel, semiconductors and other material inputs and resulting cost increases impacting our Company;
●
our ability to receive sufficient proceeds from our current and any future financing arrangements to meet our immediate liquidity needs and the potential costs, dilution and restrictions resulting from any such
financing; our ability to maintain compliance with the listing requirements of the Nasdaq and the impact of any steps we have taken, including reverse splits of our common stock, on our operations, stock price and future access to funds
●
the unavailability, reduction or elimination of government and economic incentives;
●
failure to manage future growth effectively; and
●
the other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including but not limited to those described under “Risk Factors” in
Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2026 (the “Form 10-K”).
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. Although management has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained
in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There is no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could
differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. These cautionary remarks expressly qualify, in their entirety, all forward-looking
statements attributable to our Company or persons acting on our Company’s behalf. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting such statements,
except as, and to the extent required by, applicable securities laws.

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:

CENNTRO INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.

CENNTRO INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.

(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.

This represents loans to Guangzhou Changyue New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.(“Changyue”) and Cenntro Electric CICS, S.R.L. (“CICS”).
On October 31, 2025, the Company entered into a working capital loan contract with Changyue to lend principal amount of RMB 1,800,000 ($ 265,287 ), with an annual interest rate of 3.0 % and due on December 30, 2025 , and the loan remains past due as of June 30, 2026. Management is actively following up with Changyue regarding repayment and expects to recover the outstanding balance based on the current repayment arrangement.
Multiple interest-free intercompany drawdowns to former group entity CICS totaling $ 1,023,216 over several prior fiscal years. Full allowance for credit losses was recorded for this balance due to unrecoverability, resulting in no carrying value as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

(1) On September 25, 2022, the Company invested RMB 15,400,000 (approximately $ 2,269,679 ) in Entropy Yu to acquire 99.355 % of the partnership entity’s equity interest. The Company accounts for the investment under the equity method because the Company controls 50 % of voting interests in partnership matters and material matters must be agreed upon by all partners. The Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over Entropy Yu.
(2) On March 22, 2022, CAE invested EUR 100,000 (approximately $ 114,170 ) in Able 2rent GmbH (DEU) to acquire 50 % of its equity interest. 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.

(1) The Company owned approximately 3 % of equity interest in HW Electro Co., Ltd. (“HWE”) at initial investment cost of $ 1,000,000 .
(2) In 2025, the Company acquired certain investment in a private company through a nonmonetary transaction by transferring the ownership of eight vehicles produced by the Company in the normal business with an aggregate market value of $ 693,780 . 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.

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.

NOTE 13 - LEASES
The Company leases offices space under non-cancellable operating leases. The Company considers those renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised in the determination of
the lease term and initial measurement of right of use assets and lease liabilities. 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.

NOTE 17 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Liti g 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 the four 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 the seven 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. On May 30, 2025, the Court issued the order denying both sides’ respective motions for reconsideration. On June 10, 2025, Plaintiff’s counsel informed us that they do not intend to file a second amended complaint, which means that CAC, CAG, CEL and CENN will be dismissed from the case; and that the case will proceed to discovery solely on Plaintiff’s one claim against Wang for promissory estoppel. The corporate defendants have since been dismissed, leaving the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Wang, as the sole defendant. Under an executive indemnification agreement, the Company may, subject to its terms and applicable law, be required to cover certain defense costs and liabilities arising from claims related to Wang’s service. At the in-person conference on August 20, 2025, the Court ordered deadlines for completing various stages of discovery in the case, initially setting May 15, 2026 as the deadline for all fact discover. The schedule was later adjourned due to Wang’s change of counsel. On July 24, 2026, the parties advised the Court that a dispute over Plaintiff’s proposed spoliation interrogatories remained pending and that party depositions would begin after the related spoliation issues are resolved. The Company anticipate remote financial consequences will incur to the company.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introductory Note
Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) to the “Company,” “Cenntro,” “we,” “us” or “our” are references to the
consolidated business Cenntro Inc. and its subsidiaries. The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) summarizes the significant factors affecting our results of operations,
liquidity, capital resources and contractual obligations. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere herein.
A. Key Components of Results of Operations
Net revenues
Up until December 31, 2021, we generate revenue primarily through the sale of ECVs to our channel partners. Beginning in 2022, we experimented with different go-to-market strategies across
regions. In Europe, while we initially tested an EV center approach by acquiring CAE, a German manufacturer and ECV seller, we returned to our distributor-focused model in 2024 given its proven effectiveness. In North America, we implemented a
hybrid approach that combines direct sales to end-customers with strategic distributor partnerships. Historically (i.e. up until end of 2021), these revenues were generated solely by the sale of the Metro®. Starting from the last quarter of
2021, we began generating revenue from the sales of the Logistar™ 200, Logistar™ 100, Logistar™ 260, Teemak™, Neibor® 150, Antric® and Avantier™ in Europe, Clubcar, Teemak™, Logistar™ 210, Logistar™ 260 and iChassis™ in Asia, and Avantier™,
Logistar™ 210, Logistar™ 400 and Logistar™ 450 in the US, Avantier™ in Africa. We estimate that in late 2026, we will start generating revenue from Bison Motor™, hydrogen-powered heavy-duty vehicles to meet market demand and increased sales
from iChassis™ that consists of a programmable “smart” chassis that is currently used by third-party integrated it with their controlling software for various autonomous driving commercial vehicle applications.
Net revenues during the six months ended 2026 and 2025 were generated from (a) vehicles sales, which primarily represent net revenues from sales of Metro® vehicles (including vehicle kits),
Logistar™ 200, Logistar™ 210, Logistar™ 260, Logistar™ 450, Antric®, Avantier™, Logistar™ 100, Clubcar and 1-ton Electric Flatbed Truck, (b) sales of ECV spare-parts related to our Metro® vehicles, and (c) other sales, which primarily were: (i)
the sales of inventory of outsourced ECV batteries, and (ii) charges on services provided to channel partners for technical developments and assistance with vehicle homologation or certification.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold mainly consists of production-related costs including costs of raw materials, consumables, direct labor, overhead costs, depreciation of plants and equipment, manufacturing
waste treatment processing fees, shipping cost and inventory write-downs. We incur cost of goods sold in relation to (i) vehicle sales and spare-part sales, including, among others, purchases of raw materials, labor costs, and manufacturing
expenses that related to ECVs, and (ii) other sales, including cost and expenses that are not related to ECV sales.
Cost of goods sold also includes inventory write-downs. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of raw materials is determined on the basis of weighted
average. The cost of finished goods is determined on the basis of weighted average and is comprised of direct materials, direct labor cost and an appropriate proportion of overhead. Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices
fewer selling expenses and any further costs of completion. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to net realizable value are made, if required, for estimated excess, obsolescence, or impaired balances. Write-downs are recorded in the
cost of goods sold in our statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Operating expenses
Our operating expenses consist of general and administrative, selling and marketing expenses, and research and development expenses. General and administrative expenses are the most significant
components of our operating expenses. Operating expenses also include provision for doubtful accounts and impairment loss for long-lived assets.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and related expenses, prototype expenses, costs associated with assets acquired for research and development, product
development costs, production inspection and testing expenses, product strategic advisory fees, third-party engineering and contractor support costs and allocated overhead. We expect our research and development expenses to increase as we
continue to invest in new ECV models, new materials and techniques, vehicle management and control systems, digital control capabilities and other technologies.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and related expenses, sales commissions, marketing programs, freight costs, travel and entertainment expenses and
allocated overhead. Marketing programs consist of advertising, tradeshows, events, corporate communications and brand-building activities. We expect our selling and marketing expenses to increase as we introduce our new ECV models, further
develop additional local dealership and service support networks to augment our expanding sales globally.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and related expenses for administrative functions including finance, legal, human resources, and fees for third-party
professional services. While we continue to monitor general and administrative expenses, we expect general and administrative expenses to decrease over the next two years in connection with our continued effort to improve efficiency, combining
our EV centers with local distribution networks and utilizing well-proven OEMs and supply chains.
Provision for credit losses
We adopted ASC 326 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses using the modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit from January 1, 2023 and interim
periods therein. We used an expected credit loss model for the impairment of accounts receivable as of period ends. We believe the aging of accounts receivable is a reasonable parameter to estimate expected credit loss, and determines expected
credit losses for accounts receivables using an aging schedule as of period ends. The expected credit loss rates under each aging schedule were developed on basis of the average historical loss rates from previous years, and adjusted to reflect
the effects of those differences in current conditions and forecasted changes. We measured the expected credit losses of accounts receivable on a collective basis. When an accounts receivable does not share risk characteristics with other
accounts receivables, we will evaluate such accounts receivable for expected credit loss on an individual basis. Allowance for credit losses balances are written off and deducted from allowance. when receivables are deemed uncollectible. after
all collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. We expect provision for credit losses to decrease in the future as we shift our sales more to FOB terms, when goods will be delivered only if
material payment are received.
Other income (expenses)
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net, consists of interest on outstanding loans and the convertible promissory notes.

Gain (loss) from long-term investments
Entities over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence but do not have a controlling interest through investment in common shares, or in-substance common shares, are accounted
for using the equity method. Under the equity method, we initially record our investment at cost and subsequently recognize our proportionate share of each such entity’s net income or loss after the date of investment into the statements of
operations and comprehensive loss and accordingly adjust the carrying amount of the investment. When our share of losses in the equity of such entity equals or exceeds our interest in the equity of such entity, we do not recognize further
losses, unless we have incurred obligations or made payments or guarantees on behalf of such entity. An impairment charge is recorded when the carrying amount of the investment exceeds its fair value and this condition is determined to be
other-than-temporary. The adjusted carrying amount of the assets become new cost basis.
Discontinued operations
We classify the results of a component (or group of components) to be disposed (“disposal group”) as a discontinued operation when the disposal group meets
the held-for-sale criteria, is disposed of by sale or is disposed of other than by sale (e.g. abandonment) and when the disposal group represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on our operations and our financial
results.
We report the operating results related to the disposal group as discontinued operations for all periods presented in our consolidated statements of
comprehensive loss, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure is useful in evaluating operational
performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors in assessing operating
performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a
measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (or net loss) before net
interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization as further adjusted to exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense and other non-recurring expenses including expenses related to TME Acquisition, expenses related
to one-off payment inherited from the original Naked Brand Group, impairment of goodwill, convertible bond issuance fee, loss on redemption of convertible promissory notes, and change in fair value of convertible promissory notes and derivative
liability.
We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe it is frequently used by
securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management believes that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a
reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA:
•
as a measurement of operating performance because it assists us in comparing the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of items not directly resulting from our
core operations;
•
for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and financial projections;
32
Table of Contents
•
to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies; and
•
to evaluate our capacity to expand our business.
By providing this non-GAAP financial measure, together with the reconciliation, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as
assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our
competitors because not all companies and analysts calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for net
income or other financial statement data presented in our financial statements as indicators of financial performance. Some of the limitations are:
•
such measures do not reflect our cash expenditures;
•
such measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•
although depreciation and amortization are recurring, non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures do not reflect any cash
requirements for such replacements; and
•
the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense, which has been a significant recurring expense and will continue to constitute a significant recurring expense for the foreseeable future, as equity awards
are expected to continue to be an important component of our compensation strategy.
Due to these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations
by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using these non-GAAP measures only supplementally. As noted in the table below, Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments to exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense and material infrequent
items. It is reasonable to expect that these items will occur in future periods. However, we believe these adjustments are appropriate because the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period, do not directly relate to the
ongoing operations of our business and may complicate comparisons of our internal operating results and operating results of other companies over time. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may include adjustments for other items that we do not expect
to regularly occur in future reporting periods. Each of the normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described in this paragraph and in the reconciliation table below helps management with a measure of our core operating performance
over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations.
The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure, which is net loss:

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically funded working capital and other capital requirements primarily through bank loans, equity financings and short-term loans. Also, the
reverse recapitalization we have completed at the end of December 2021 and in the mid-April 2026 provided significant funding for the Company’s operations. Our Cash is required primarily to purchase raw materials, and pay salaries, office
expenses and other operating expenses.
33
Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2026 we had approximately $4.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $1.5 million of accounts receivables as compared to
approximately $6.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $3.2 million in accounts receivable as of June 30, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $5.5 million and $9.4
million, respectively.
Short-Term Liquidity Requirements
We are looking at measures to generate operating efficiency as well as increasing the inventory turns in containing the growth of working capital for
reducing negative net cash used in operating activities. With the cash improvement initiatives, we believe our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient for us to continue to execute our business strategy over the twelve months period
following the date of issuance of this 10Q. Our current business strategy for the next twelve months includes (i) the continued rollout of our new ECV models in North America and Europe, as applicable, (ii) the establishment of local assembly
facilities in the United States and the European Union and (iii) additional plants and equipment for the expansion of our Changxing factory. Actual results could vary materially as a result of a number of factors, including:
•
The costs of bringing our new facilities into operation;
•
The timing and costs involved in rolling out new ECV models to market;
•
Our ability to manage the costs of manufacturing our ECVs;
•
The costs of maintaining, expanding and protecting our intellectual property portfolio, including potential litigation costs and liabilities;
•
Revenues received from sales of our ECVs;
•
The costs of additional general and administrative personnel, including accounting and finance, legal and human resources, as well as costs related to litigation, investigations, or settlements;
•
Our ability to collect future revenues; and
•
Other risks discussed in the section titled “ Risk Factors .”
For the twelve months from the date hereof, we also plan to continue implementing measures to increase revenues and control operating costs and expenses,
implementing comprehensive budget controls and operational assessments, implementing enhanced vendor review and selection processes as well as enhancing internal controls.
Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
In the long-term, we plan to regionalize the manufacturing and supply chain relating to certain components of our ECVs in several geographic markets.
Through our supply chain development know-how, we intend to establish supply chain relationships especially in the North America to support anticipated manufacturing and assembly needs in these markets, thereby reducing the time in transit and
potentially other landed costs elements associated with importing our components and spare parts from China. As part of our growth strategy, we plan to expand our channel partner network, and local assembly facilities to regionalize our
manufacturing and supply chains to better serve our global customers, especially to expand our after-sales-market services offerings.
We intend to further expand our technology through continued investment in research and development. Since inception in 2013 through June 30, 2026, we have
spent over approximately $97.7 million in research and development activities related to our operations. We plan to increase our research and development expenditure over the long term as we build on our technologies in vehicle development,
driving control, cloud-based platforms, and innovations for promoting sustainable energy.
For our long-term business plan, we plan to fund current and future planned operations mainly through cash on hand, cash flow from operations, lines of
credit and additional equity and debt financings to the extent available on commercially favorable terms.

Working Capital
As of June 30, 2026, our working capital was approximately $16.4 million, as compared to a working capital of approximately $19.0 million as of December 31, 2025. The approximately $2.5 million decrease in working
capital during 2026 was primarily due to (i) the decrease in inventories, net and assets held for sale, current of $3.5 million and $2.7 million;(ii) increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and contractual liabilities of
$2.3 million and $2.7 million; and partially offset by (i) the increase in prepayment and other current assets of approximately $2.2 million, and (ii) the decrease in accounts payable, short-term loans, convertible
promissory notes and current portion of long-term loans, operating lease liabilities, current and liabilities held for sale, current of $0.8 million, $1.3 million, $1.3 million, $0.5 million and $2.1 million.

million, an d $2.5 million, respectively.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily
attributable to proceeds from disposal of property, plant and equipment and repayment of loans by third parties of approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and offset by purchase of property, plant and equipment of
approximately $0.1 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months
ended June 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to proceeds from loans proceed from third parties and proceeds from bank loans of approximately $4.4 million and $2.3 million, and partially offset by repayment to bank loan of approximately $1.3
million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our 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, the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period and the related disclosures in the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Out of our significant accounting policies, which are described in “Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements for the six months ended June 30, 2026, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, certain accounting policies are deemed “critical,” as they require management’s highest degree of judgment, estimates and assumptions. While
management believes its judgments, estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based on information presently available and actual results may differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets or asset group with determinable useful lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset or a group of assets’ carrying
amount may not be recoverable. The Company measures the carrying amount of long-lived asset against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets or asset group and their eventual disposition.
The carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable when the sum of the undiscounted expected future net cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset being evaluated. Impairment loss is calculated as
the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets or asset group, when the market prices are not readily
available. The adjusted carrying amount of the assets become new cost basis and are depreciated over the assets’ remaining useful lives. Long-lived assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which
identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The impairment test is performed at the asset group level.
Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses
Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at net realizable value.
Management used an expected credit loss model for the impairment of accounts receivable as of period ends. Management believes the aging of accounts receivable is a reasonable parameter to estimate expected
credit loss, and determines expected credit losses for accounts receivables using an aging schedule as of period ends. The expected credit loss rates under each aging schedule were developed on basis of the average historical loss rates
from previous years, and adjusted to reflect the effects of those differences in current conditions and forecasted changes. Management measured the expected credit losses of accounts receivable on a collective basis. When an accounts
receivable does not share risk characteristics with other accounts receivables, management will evaluate such accounts receivable for expected credit loss on an individual basis. Allowance for credit losses balance are written off and
deducted from allowance, when receivables are deemed uncollectible, after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
Our financial assets subject to the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model mainly include accounts receivable, certain receivable components within other current assets and other non-current assets and debt
security investments.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of raw materials is determined on the basis of weighted average. The cost of finished goods is determined on the basis of weighted
average and comprises direct materials, direct labor cost and an appropriate proportion of overhead.
Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices less selling expenses and any further costs of completion. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to net realizable value are made, if required, for
estimated excess, obsolescence, or impaired balances. Loss on inventory write-off, including losses from physical inventory counts or obsolescence where no future economic benefit is expected, are recognized in cost of goods sold in the
period incurred.

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 due
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 due
to related parties, current were approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The estimated fair values of loan from third party, and amount due from related party, non-current 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 were classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they were valued using quoted prices in active markets. Our debt security investments are classified within Level 3 of the fair
value hierarchy. As the counterparty that issued the subject debt security held by the Company(“the Issuer”) is not yet listed and there are no similar companies in the market at the same stage of development for comparison, the Issuer is
difficult to value, and the valuation is not considered reliable. Therefore, the Company develop own assumption by future cash flow forecast, which contains principle 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 in short-term investments.
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.
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 ordinary shares of the Company. The Company utilizes
a Binomial model to estimate the fair value of the warrants and are considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. 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.
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. Consideration is recorded net of sales returns and VAT. Sales returns is estimated based on historical experiences, which were insignificant for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
The consideration is fixed, with no variable consideration. All transactions are settled in cash within the normal credit period, and there is no financing component.
Shipping and handling costs for product shipments occur prior to the customer obtaining control of the goods are accounted for as fulfilment costs rather than separate performance obligations and
recorded as sales and marketing expenses.

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.

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.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There are inherent limitations on the effectiveness of any system of internal controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls
and procedures. Accordingly, even effective internal controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the
annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026, as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15
or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures was not effective as of June 30, 2026, due to material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have been previously identified but continue to exist. See Part II, Item 9A of the 2025 Form 10-K for additional information.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first half of fiscal 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Remediation
As previously described in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we began implementing a remediation plan to address the material weakness
mentioned above. The weakness will not be considered remediated, until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. While
management has taken steps to remediate these control weaknesses, the material weaknesses are still unresolved. Consequently, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2026.
Unless and until these material weaknesses are remediated, or if new material weaknesses arise in the future, material misstatements could occur and go undetected in our interim or annual
Consolidated Financial Statements, and we may be required to restate our financial statements. In addition, we may experience delays in satisfying our reporting obligations or to comply with United States Securities and Exchange Commission
rules and regulations, which could result in, among other things, regulatory or enforcement actions, securities litigation, limitations on our ability to access capital markets, debt rating agency downgrades or rating withdrawals, or loss in
confidence of our investors, any one of which could adversely affect the valuation of our common stock and our business prospects. We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the
material weaknesses identified or that any additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
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. Please refer to the
description as contained in “Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” on page F-1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and the information described below.

On July 22, 2022, Xiongjian Chen (“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 the four 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 the seven 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, money 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. On May 30, 2025, the Court issued an order
denying both sides’ respective motions for reconsideration. On June 10, 2025, Plaintiff’s counsel informed the Company that they do not intend to file a second amended complaint, which we believe means that CAC, CAG, CEL and CENN will be
dismissed from the case; and that the case will proceed to discovery solely on Plaintiff’s one claim against Wang for promissory estoppel. The corporate defendants have since been dismissed, leaving the Company’s Chief Executive Officer,
Wang, as the sole defendant. Under an executive indemnification agreement, the Company may, subject to its terms and applicable law, be required to cover certain defense costs and liabilities arising from claims related to Wang’s service. On
July 14, 2025, Wang filed his answer to Plaintiff’s first amended complaint. At the in-person conference on August 20, 2025, the Court ordered deadlines for completing various stages of discovery in the case, initially setting May 15, 2026 as
the deadline for all fact discovery. The schedule was later adjourned due to Wang’s change of counsel. On July 24, 2026, the parties advised the Court that a dispute over Plaintiff’s proposed spoliation interrogatories remained pending and
that party depositions would begin after the related spoliation issues are resolved. The Company anticipate remote financial consequences will be incurred by the Company.
