As of the date of this quarterly report, Cheetah BVI is not engaged in any business operations. On September 30, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved its fourth amended and restated articles of incorporation, which authorizes a reverse stock split of the issued shares of its common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share, at a ratio ranging from 1 -for-10 to 1 -for-30, as determined at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors. On October 7, 2024, the Company’s board of directors (“Board”) approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of 1 -for-16. On October 21, 2024, the Company effectuated a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1 -for-16. Following such reverse split, each 16 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding were automatically combined into one new share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse split; any fractional shares resulting from the reverse split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. The par value per share of the Company’s common stock remained unchanged. The Company’s Class A common stock started trading on a post-split basis on October 24, 2024, at which time the Class A common stock was assigned a new CUSIP number (16307X202). All share information included in this quarterly report has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split as if it had occurred as of the earliest period presented. Discontinued operations - Parallel-import Vehicles The Company previously engaged in the business of sourcing and reselling parallel-import vehicles, primarily from the U.S. market to dealers in the U.S. and the PRC. Parallel-import vehicles in the PRC refer to automobiles purchased directly from overseas markets and imported for sale outside of the brand manufacturers’ official distribution networks. In the past, this business contributed significantly to the Company’s revenue. Between 2016 and the first half of 2022, the Company experienced growth in sales volume and gross profit due to favorable market conditions. However, beginning in the second half of 2022, the business was negatively affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related lockdowns in the PRC, a decline in customer demand due to weakening macroeconomic conditions, price competition from luxury automakers in the PRC, and a shift in consumer preference toward domestic electric vehicles (“EVs”). These market challenges led to a decline in parallel-import vehicle sales by 30.5 % in 2023 and a reduction in net income by 83.6 % compared to 2022. The decline accelerated in 2024, and the Company’s vehicle sales decreased from 82 units in the first three months of fiscal year 2023 to 13 units in the first three months of 2024, representing a 86.0 % decrease in revenue. The Company’s vehicle sales decreased from 303 units in 2023 to 14 units in 2024, resulting in a 95.7 % drop in revenue from $ 38.3 million in 2023 to $ 1.6 million in 2024. In addition, the financial strains on the Company’s customers made it increasingly difficult to collect outstanding receivables. While the Company successfully recovered $ 4.0 million in 2024 and collected additional $ 2.5 million from the five aged accounts as of the date of the annual report for 2024, the remaining $ 1.6 million from two customers was determined to be uncollectible, as a result, the management recorded as a credit loss of $ 1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. As the parallel-import vehicle market conditions continued to deteriorate and sales activity in this segment ceased, management determined that the business no longer had a sustainable path forward. On March 3, 2025, the Board formally approved the discontinuation of the parallel-import vehicle business. In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations, the Company determined that the parallel-import vehicle segment met the conditions for reporting as a discontinued operation during the year ended December 31, 2024. As a result, all financial results associated with this business have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 presented. For additional financial details regarding discontinued operations, refer to Note 5-Discontinued Operations. Logistics and Warehousing Services The Company’s subsidiary, Edward, operates as a licensed Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier. It manages freight forwarding, including shipment consolidation and carrier selection, aimed at optimizing shipping operations. Edward also provides warehousing services encompassing fulfillment, storage, and inventory management, crucial for supporting both the Company’s operations and its clients’ logistics needs. 7 Table of Contents The Company’s subsidiary, TWEW, specializes in general labor support services and logistics coordination, providing workforce solutions and operational efficiency tools tailored to the logistics and labor sectors. TWEW’s expertise in labor management and logistical support enables the Company to streamline operations, expand service offering, and enhance market position. As of the date of this quarterly report, the Company is undergoing a business transformation of its business model. The Company is shifting its business focus from parallel-import vehicle sales to logistics and warehousing services. Management continues to focus on improving operational efficiencies and expanding its market presence of the two acquired businesses. The transformation of the Company’s business model could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. The business shift may take longer time than expected to generate ideal profits depending on factors from the business environment and operation management and market expansion. NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted consistent with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments as necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, and results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have read or have access to the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal years. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2024. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period. The Company’s fiscal year end date is December 31. Going Concern Consideration The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported a net operating loss of approximately $ 2.6 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $ 0.7 million, with an approximately $ 2.5 million positive cash flows from discontinued operations, partially offset by $ 1.8 million cash used in operating activities-continuing operations due to the ongoing transition to the logistics and warehousing business. The Company may continue to incur operating losses and generate negative cash flow. These factors may raise doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $ 0.2 million and a working capital balance of $ 8.5 million, including a loan receivable of $ 8.3 million due from third parties within a year. Management has evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern. This evaluation considered the Company’s current financial condition, forecasted cash flows, obligations due within the next 12 months, and available sources of liquidity. While management understands that the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully execute its new business strategy and eventually attain profitable operations, management has concluded that there are no conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025 have been prepared on a going concern basis. 8 Table of Contents Use of estimates In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, allowance for credit loss on accounts receivables, the revenue recognition estimates related to revenue recognition for labor service contracts recognized over time, impairment of long-lived assets, and the realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For certain labor service contracts acquired through the acquisition of TWEW, revenue is recognized over time based on the percentage of completion, which involves management judgment in estimating total expected costs and progress toward completion. Risks and uncertainties The Company is undergoing a business transformation of our business model. As a company located in the U.S. and doing business with the PRC, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by political, economic, and legal environments in the U.S. and the PRC, as well as by the general state of the U.S. and the PRC economies. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory, and social conditions in the U.S. and the PRC. Risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s business include, but are not limited to, the following: ● The business shift from parallel-import vehicle sales to logistics and warehousing services may depend on factors from the business environment to operation management and market expansion; ● The government policies on ocean freight business and tariff policy may reduce the market demand for the freight, logistics and warehousing business, and thus negatively affect the Company’s business and growth prospects; ● The logistics and warehousing business depend highly on the limited customers and third-party transportation and labor providers; ● The competition of logistics and warehousing industry dependent on factors such as service quality, speed reliability, and pricing may limit the Company’s expanding non-vehicle logistics warehousing revenue, and its success in these areas will depend on its ability to develop and scale an effective salesforce to market these services to international trading companies in the U.S. and the PRC; and ● Recent changes in the U.S. and international trade policies and tariffs on imports and exports, particularly the trade tensions between China and the U.S. have been intensified and may become worse in the future, resulting in the imposition of more tariffs or other trade restrictions, and may adversely impact our business and operating results. The Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may also be negatively impacted by risks related to natural disasters, extreme weather conditions, health epidemics, and other catastrophic incidents, which could significantly disrupt the Company’s operations. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in bank and interest-bearing certificates of deposit with an initial term of six months when purchased. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all cash and cash equivalents were related to continuing operations. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 ​ (Unaudited) ​ ​ ​ Cash held in Current Accounts ​ $ 153,692 ​ $ 627,924 Certificate of Deposit ​ — ​ ​ 1,023,038 Total cash and cash equivalents shown in the statements of cash flows ​ $ 153,692 ​ $ 1,650,962 ​ 9 Table of Contents Accounts receivable Accounts receivable represent the amounts that the Company has an unconditional right to consideration, which are stated at the original amount less an allowance of credit loss, in accordance with the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model under ASC 326. The Company estimates expected credit losses based on a combination of historical loss experience, customer creditworthiness, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forward-looking information. The allowance for credit losses is updated at each reporting period to reflect changes in credit risk. The allowance for credit losses is recorded against accounts receivable balances, with a corresponding charge to the consolidated statements of operations. Delinquent account balances are written off against the allowance when management determines that collection is remote. If previously written-off receivables are subsequently recovered, the Company records a reversal of the allowance for credit losses. As a result of the Company’s decision to discontinue the parallel-import vehicles business, the entire accounts receivable balance of $ 2,540,501 as of December 31, 2024, was reclassified to “Current Assets of Discontinued Operations” in accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, no allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable from continuing operations was recorded. (See Note 5 – Discontinued Operations for further details.) Loan receivable The Company’s loans receivable, which consist of loans to third parties, are recognized at the point of loan disbursement, initially measured at fair value, primarily reflecting the disbursed amount and associated transaction costs. Both secured and unsecured lending are encompassed in these receivables, with terms including varying interest rates and maturity dates. Subsequently, these receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, which ensures the accurate recognition of interest income over the loan period. The interest rates for these loans may be subject to change based on the terms of loan agreements. Periodic reviews of the loan portfolio are conducted to assess for impairment, utilizing the expected credit loss model. This approach considers historical credit loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts in estimating potential credit losses. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no impairment allowance was recorded for the loan receivable. Property, plant, and equipment, net Property, plant, and equipment, net are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment charges. Depreciation is calculated primarily based on the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives of the assets: ​ Property, plant, and equipment E stimated useful li fe Motor vehicles ​ 10 years Leasehold improvements ​ 3 - 6 years ​ Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expenses as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. Intangible assets, net The Company recorded intangible assets with the acquisitions of Edward and TWEW during the first quarter and the fourth quarter of 2024, respectively (see Note 8- Intangible Asset and Goodwill). Intangible assets consist of developed technology, customer relationships, and trade names, which are amortized on a straight-line basis or over their respective useful lives using patterns that reflect the economic benefits the assets are expected to realize. The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. 10 Table of Contents Amortization of intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as below: ​ I ntangible assets E stimated useful li fe Developed technology ​ 7 years ​ Customer relationships ​ 10 - 12 years ​ Trade names ​ 7 years ​ ​ The estimated useful lives of intangible assets with finite lives are reassessed if circumstances occur that indicate the original estimated useful lives have changed. The Company recognized impairment loss to intangible assets of $ 162,775 and nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. See NOTE 8—Intangible Asset and Goodwill. Fair value of financial instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of input used to measure fair value are as follows: ● Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. ● Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. ● Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable. Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, loans receivable, loans payable, and other payables and other current liabilities, approximated the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 based upon the short-term nature of the assets and liabilities. The Company applied level 3 to obtain the fair value of intangible assets and goodwill. See NOTE 8 — Intangible Asset and Goodwill. The Company believes that the carrying amount of long-term loans approximated fair value as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 based on the terms of the borrowings and current market rates as the rates of the borrowings are reflective of the current market rates. Leases The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 842, Leases (“Topic 842”). The Company leases office space, which is classified as operating leases in accordance with Topic 842. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases, usually with an initial term of 12 months or less) on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. At the commencement date, the Company recognizes the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. The ROU asset is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All ROU assets are reviewed for impairment annually. There was no impairment for ROU lease assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. 11 Table of Contents Goodwill The Company records goodwill as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is an operating segment, or one level below. The Company has one reporting unit. The Company measures goodwill impairment, if any, as the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The review of goodwill impairment consists of either using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the assets is less than their respective carrying values or a one-step quantitative impairment test. In performing the qualitative assessment, the Company considers many factors in evaluating whether the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable, including declines in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization of the Company and macroeconomic conditions. If, based on the results of the qualitative assessment, it is concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, additional quantitative impairment testing is performed. The quantitative test requires that the carrying value of each reporting unit be compared with its estimated fair value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit is greater than its fair value, a goodwill impairment charge will be recorded for the difference (up to the carrying value of goodwill). The Company uses the income approach and/or a market-based approach to determine the reporting units’ fair values, which are based on discounted cash flows. The determination of discounted cash flows of the reporting units and assets and liabilities within the reporting units requires significant estimates and assumptions. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded an impairment loss to the goodwill of $ 568,532 and nil , respectively. See NOTE 8—Intangible Asset and Goodwill. Impairment of long-lived assets The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held-and-used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If an impairment indicator is present, the Company evaluates recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group to the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset group. If the assets are impaired, an impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate consistent with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not record any impairment except intangible assets, net and goodwill above. Revenue recognition ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. ASC 606 requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. Under the new guidance, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the new guidance requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. 12 Table of Contents In 2024, the Company generated revenue from the parallel-import vehicle dealership and logistics and warehousing services. Revenue from the parallel-import vehicle dealership business is generated from the sales of parallel-import vehicles to both domestic and overseas parallel-import vehicle dealers. It purchases automobiles from the U.S. market through its team of professional purchasing agents, and resells them to parallel-import vehicle dealers in the U.S. and the PRC. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time when the performance obligation has been satisfied and control of the vehicles has been transferred to the dealers. For sales to U.S. domestic parallel-import car dealers, revenue is recognized when a vehicle is delivered, and its title has been transferred to the dealers. For overseas sales, the Company sells vehicles under Cost and Freight (“CFR”) shipping point terms, and revenue is recognized when a vehicle is loaded on a cargo ship and its title has been transferred to the dealers. The Company accounts for the revenue generated from sales of vehicles on a gross basis as the Company is acting as a principal in these transactions, is subject to inventory risk, has latitude in establishing prices, and is responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide customers the specified goods, which the Company has control of the goods and has the ability to direct the use of goods to obtain substantially all the benefits. All of the Company’s contracts have one single performance obligation as the promise is to transfer the individual vehicle to parallel-import vehicle dealers, and there is no separately identifiable other promise in the contracts. The Company’s vehicles are sold with no right of return and the Company does not provide other credits or sales incentives to parallel-import car dealers. Historically, no customer returns have occurred. Therefore, the Company did not provide any sales return allowances for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company generates revenues from freight forwarding services provided by Edward and general labor and logistics provided by TWEW to corporate and retail clients, including transportation, cargo warehousing, freight forwarding, labor service, and cargo loading and unloading. Revenue for freight forwarding services generated by Edward, both export and import, is recognized when the services are provided. The Company’s role as the principal in these services involves managing the process up to the point where control is transferred based on contractual terms, allowing revenue recognition on a gross basis throughout the transit period. For warehousing services, revenue is primarily derived from storage fees, which are recognized based on the actual number of days the goods are stored in the warehouse while awaiting further transportation. Across all operations, the Company maintains a principal position, controlling the goods and services, bearing inventory and pricing risks, and fulfilling performance obligations directly. Each contract is typically structured with a single performance obligation without allowances for returns or sales incentives. There were no provisions for sales return allowances based on historical experiences of no returns. Revenue from general labor and logistics services, provided through TWEW, is recognized upon services rendered, based on verified labor hours or project milestones outlined in client agreements, with billing tied to predefined service rates (e.g., per-hour fees or fixed-scope pricing). The Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis as the principal service provider, reflecting its contractual obligation to deliver labor solutions to clients, despite outsourcing workforce operations to third parties. Contracts generally consist of a single performance obligation (supplying labor resources), with revenue measured at the transaction price agreed upon in service agreements. No provisions for returns or sales incentives are included, as historical experience indicates no material rights of return or refunds. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company disaggregates its revenue by geographic areas, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ​ ​ September 30, ​ September 30, ​ 2025 2024 2025 2024 ​ ​ (Unaudited) ​ (Unaudited) ​ (Unaudited) ​ (Unaudited) U.S. domestic market ​ $ 344,250 ​ $ 36,860 ​ $ 1,142,724 ​ $ 136,575 Overseas market ​ 17,685 ​ ​ 24,348 ​ 53,136 ​ 95,030 Total revenue ​ $ 361,935 ​ $ 61,208 ​ $ 1,195,860 ​ $ 231,605 ​ For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company’s total revenue from continuing operations was $ 361,935 , which increased by $ 300,727 from $ 61,208 for the same period in 2024. ​ For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, total revenue from continuing operations was $ 1,195,860 , an increase of $ 964,255 from $ 231,605 for the same period in 2024. This growth was primarily driven by the acquisition of TWEW in November 2024, whose operations are entirely focused on the U.S. domestic market. 13 Table of Contents Cost of Revenues Logistics and Warehousing Segment Cost of logistics and warehousing service revenue mainly includes the cost of freight and fulfillment expenses for freight forwarding services, while cost of labor services comprises payments to third parties for outsourced workforce provisioning, including bundled recruitment, training, and payroll processing. Cost recognition aligns with service delivery progress, validated through subcontractor utilization reports and client acceptance documentation. General and Administration Expenses The Company’s general and administrative expenses for the continuing operations primarily include employee salaries and benefits, depreciation and amortization, office lease expenses, travelling and entertainment expenses, legal and consulting fees, insurance and other miscellaneous administrative expenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, general and administration expenses for the continuing operations were $ 801,263 and $ 2,607,087 , respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, general and administration expenses for the continuing operations were $ 1,102,454 and $ 2,735,450 , respectively. Share-based Compensation The Company has adopted its Amended and Restated 2024 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), for the purpose of providing incentives and rewards to eligible participants who contribute to the success of the Company’s operations. Shareholders, directors, and employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based awards including option, restricted stock, restricted stock unit, dividend equivalent, or other awards that are permitted under the Plan, whereby the recipients render services as consideration for such share-based compensation. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period. The amount of cost recognized is adjusted to reflect any expected forfeitures prior to vesting. The fair value of stock award is measured at grant date’s per share closing price of the Company’s common stock, and the fair value of option is measured at grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the share-based awards are granted. Where the employees have to meet vesting conditions before becoming unconditionally entitled to the share-based awards, the total estimated fair value of the share-based awards is spread over the vesting period, taking into account the probability that the share-based awards will vest, provided that the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equals the portion of the grant-date value of such award that is vested at that date. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities based on temporary differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates expected to apply when these differences reverse. The impact of tax rate changes is recorded in the period of enactment. The Company assesses deferred tax assets to determine whether they are realizable. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, as it has generated a three -year cumulative pretax book loss and is forecasting a loss for 2025. Based on this evidence, realization of deferred tax assets is not considered more-likely-than-not at this time. The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, using a two-step process to determine whether tax positions will be sustained. The Company has concluded that there are no uncertain tax positions requiring recognition as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company is not subject to the Section 163(j) interest expense limitation, as it qualifies for an exception due to floor plan financing indebtedness. The Company monitors tax law changes and has determined that no recent changes materially impact the financial statements. 14 Table of Contents The Company and its U.S. operating subsidiaries are subject to the U.S. tax laws. The Company elected to file income taxes as a corporation instead of an LLC for the tax years ended December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s consolidated income tax returns for the tax years ended December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2024 remained open for statutory examination by U.S. tax authorities. Loss per share The Company computes loss per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net loss divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no dilutive shares outstanding, as presented in the tables below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, 2025 ​ ​ (Unaudited) ​ Loss Share Per share amount Basic and diluted EPS ​ ​ ​ Loss from continuing operations per ordinary share ​ $ ( 2,581,087 ) ​ 3,219,090 ​ $ ( 0.80 ) Loss from discontinued operations per ordinary share ​ — ​ 3,219,090 ​ 0.00 Loss from operations per ordinary share ​ $ ( 2,581,087 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ ( 0.80 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, 2024 ​ ​ (Unaudited) ​ Income (loss) Share Per share amount Basic and diluted EPS ​ ​ ​ Loss from continuing operations per ordinary share ​ $ ( 1,710,581 ) ​ 1,709,610 ​ $ ( 1.00 ) Loss from discontinued operations per ordinary share ​ ( 1,326,521 ) ​ 1,709,610 ​ ( 0.78 ) Loss from operations per ordinary share ​ $ ( 3,037,102 ) ​ ​ — ​ $ ( 1.78 ) ​ Related parties and transactions The Company identifies related parties, and accounts for and discloses related party transactions in accordance with ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures” and other relevant ASC standards. Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Corporations are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. Transactions between related parties commonly occurring in the normal course of business are considered to be related party transactions. Transactions between related parties are also considered to be related party transactions even though they may not be given accounting recognition. Segment reporting The Company uses the management approach in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions about the allocation of resources of the segment and the assessment of its performance in determining the Company’s reportable operating segments. The Company reported two operating segments: the parallel-import vehicle business and logistics and warehousing services in 2024. Following the discontinuation of the parallel-import vehicles business, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported a single reportable segment on logistics and warehousing services. Significant segment expenses reviewed by management include cost of revenues, general and administrative expenses, impairment loss expenses, and share-based compensation expenses. 15 Table of Contents Recently adopted accounting standards In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic ASC 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosure about significant segment expenses. The enhancements under this update require disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, require disclosure of other segment items by reportable segment and a description of the composition of other segment items, require annual disclosures under ASC 280 to be provided in interim periods, clarify use of more than one measure of segment profit or loss by the CODM, require that the title of the CODM be disclosed with an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss to make decisions, and require that entities with a single reportable segment provide all disclosures required by this update and required under ASC 280. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 for the annual period ending December 31, 2025, retrospectively to all periods presented in the consolidated financial statement. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, “Codification Improvements – Amendments to Remove References to the Concept Statements” (“ASU 2024-02”). ASU 2024-02 contains amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification that remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements. In most instances, the references are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. In other instances, the references were used in prior Statements to provide guidance in certain topical areas. The Company adopted ASU 2024-02 for the annual period ending December 31, 2025. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Recent accounting pronouncements In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements—codification amendments in response to SEC’s disclosure Update and Simplification initiative which amend the disclosure or presentation requirements of codification subtopic 230-10 Statement of Cash Flows—Overall, 250-10 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—Overall, 260-10 Earnings Per Share—Overall, 270-10 Interim Reporting—Overall, 440-10 Commitments—Overall, 470-10 Debt—Overall, 505-10 Equity—Overall, 815-10 Derivatives and Hedging—Overall, 860-30 Transfers and Servicing—Secured Borrowing and Collateral, 932-235 Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas—Notes to Financial Statements, 946-20 Financial Services—Investment Companies—Investment Company Activities, and 974-10 Real Estate—Real Estate Investment Trusts—Overall. The amendments represent changes to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of above subtopics. Many of the amendments allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the SEC’s requirements. Also, the amendments align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations. For entities subject to existing SEC disclosure requirements or those that must provide financial statements to the SEC for securities purposes without contractual transfer restrictions, the effective date aligns with the date when the SEC removes the related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K. Early adoption is not allowed. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective two years later from the date of the SEC’s removal. Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , establishes incremental disaggregation of income tax disclosures pertaining to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires prospective application with the option to apply it retrospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 beginning January 1, 2025. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which revises the effective date of ASU 2024-03 (on disclosures about disaggregation of income statement expenses) “to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.” Entities within the ASU’s scope are permitted to early adopt the ASU. 16 Table of Contents In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement—Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date.” This pronouncement revises the effective date of ASU 2024-03 and clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.

The Company considers the renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised in the determination of the lease term and initial measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities. Lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at the inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company discounts lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. On July 19, 2024, the Company entered into a non-cancellable operating lease with an independent third party, Zina Development, LLC, for office space in Irvine, California, comprising approximately 15,000 square feet. The lease term commenced on July 23, 2024, and expires on July 31, 2027. The lease is guaranteed by West Buy Media Inc., a North Carolina Corporation 100 % owned by the Company’s chief executive officer, Huan Liu, ensuring the Company’s full payment and performance of all obligations under the lease. Monthly base rent payments under this lease range from $ 42,000 to $ 45,000 , with scheduled increases over the lease term. The office space is designated for general business operations. In accordance with ASC 842, the Company has recognized a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on its balance sheet related to this operating lease. On April 28, 2023, the Company entered a First Amendment to Lease Agreement (the “ Amended Lease ”) with one of its landlords, which amended a previous lease agreement between the two parties, whereby the Company leases office space from the landlord with an initial lease term from December 1, 2020 to December 31, 2023. Pursuant to the Amended Lease, the initial lease term was extended for a period commencing January 1, 2024 and expiring February 28, 2027, unless sooner terminated as provided in the Amended Lease. On January 10, 2025 and January 31, 2025, the Company sent two letters to the lessor requesting to terminate the lease, as the Company had vacated the property.

The lease term was extended to July 31, 2023 by the first amendment. The second amendment further extended the lease to August 31, 2028. The short-term lease runs month-to-month from January 1, 2024 to August 31, 2024. Both operating lease expenses and short-term lease expenses are recognized in general and administrative expenses.

Consideration paid consisted of $ 0.3 million of cash and the issuance of 79,521 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock with a fair value of $ 1.2 million. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), it was determined that the fair value of the stock consideration was $ 0.9 million at the time of the transaction, reflecting a comprehensive evaluation of the stock’s market conditions and liquidity impacted by lock-up period restrictions. 23 Table of Contents The purchase price was initially recorded on a preliminary basis as of February 2, 2024. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were estimated based on management’s estimates, available information, and supportable assumptions that management considered reasonable. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation. As a result, adjustments were made, particularly concerning the deferred tax liability related to intangible assets, which led to a corresponding adjustment in the value of goodwill. The final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was reflected in the financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and shown below. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of December 31, 2024 ​ As of June 30, 2024 ​ Change ​ ​ Finalized value Preliminary value Amount Acquired assets acquired and (liabilities): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Cash ​ $ 79,883 ​ $ 79,883 ​ $ — Accounts Receivable ​ ​ 47,354 ​ ​ 47,354 ​ ​ — Other Current Assets ​ ​ 42,685 ​ ​ 42,685 ​ ​ — Right-of-use Lease Asset ​ ​ 645,625 ​ ​ 645,625 ​ ​ — Fixed Assets ​ ​ 60,795 ​ ​ 60,795 ​ ​ — Developed Technology ​ ​ 120,000 ​ ​ 120,000 ​ ​ — Customer Relationships ​ ​ 360,000 ​ ​ 360,000 ​ ​ — Trade Names ​ ​ 36,000 ​ ​ 36,000 ​ ​ — Goodwill ​ ​ 568,532 ​ ​ 437,382 ​ ​ 131,150 Other Noncurrent Assets ​ ​ 27,000 ​ ​ 27,000 ​ ​ — Accounts Payable ​ ​ ( 34,686 ) ​ ​ ( 34,686 ) ​ ​ — Accrued Expenses Payable ​ ​ ( 20,933 ) ​ ​ ( 20,933 ) ​ ​ — Deferred Tax Liability ​ ​ ( 131,150 ) ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 131,150 ) Operating Lease Liability, Current ​ ​ ( 94,548 ) ​ ​ ( 94,548 ) ​ ​ — Operating Lease Liability, Long Term ​ ​ ( 506,557 ) ​ ​ ( 506,557 ) ​ ​ — Total Purchase Consideration ​ $ 1,200,000 ​ $ 1,200,000 ​ $ — ​ The fair value of the accounts receivable, other assets, and liabilities assumed approximates their gross contractual amounts.

The fair values of intangible assets, including $ 120,000 of developed technology, $ 360,000 of customer relationships, and $ 36,000 of trade names, were determined using assumptions that are representative of those market participants would use in estimating fair value. 2) Acquisition of TWEW On November 27, 2024, Cheetah Net entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire 100 % of the equity interests in TWEW. The transaction closed on December 19, 2024. The gross purchase price was $ 1 million. Consideration paid consisted of $ 0.2 million of cash and the issuance of 469,484 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock with a fair value of $ 0.8 million. Following ASC 805, it was determined that the fair value of the stock consideration was $ 1 million at the time of the transaction, reflecting a comprehensive evaluation of the stock’s market conditions and liquidity impacted by lock-up period restrictions. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Acquired assets acquired and (liabilities): ​ Cash ​ $ 69,980 Accounts Receivable ​ 43,120 Other Current Assets ​ 1,210 Customer Relationships ​ 600,000 Goodwill ​ 475,861 Deferred Tax Liability ​ ( 140,171 ) Short term loan payable ​ ( 50,000 ) Total Purchase Consideration ​ $ 1,000,000 ​ 24 Table of Contents The fair value of the accounts receivable, other current assets, and short-term loan payable assumed approximates their gross contractual amounts. The customer relationship intangibles of $ 600,000 were valued by discounting estimated after-tax earnings over their remaining useful lives using the multi-period excess earnings method, that are representative of those a market participant would use in estimating fair value. The Company recorded amortization of intangible assets with finite lives are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as below: ​ ​ ​ ​ Intangible Assets Estimated Useful Lives (month) Edward-Developed Technology ​ 84 Edward-Customer Relationships ​ 144 Edward-Trade Names ​ 84 TWEW-Customer Relationships ​ 120 ​ During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred accumulated amortization expenses of $ 84,214 and $ 34,858 , respectively. Management conducted an impairment assessment of goodwill and intangible assets associated with the Edward acquisition in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. The Company utilized a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit, taking into consideration projected revenues, operating margins, terminal value assumptions, and a discount rate reflecting the risks of the underlying cash flows. Based on the results of this analysis, management determined that the carrying value of certain intangible assets and goodwill exceeded their estimated fair value, and accordingly, recorded an impairment charge. Key assumptions used in the analysis included management’s projections of future cash flows, growth rates, and weighted average cost of capital. Changes in these assumptions, or a decline in actual performance compared with forecasts, could result in additional impairments in future periods. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of September 30, 2025 ​ As of September 30, 2025 Intangible Assets ​ Preliminary value ​ Impairment loss ​ Finalized Value Edward-Customer Relationships ​ $ 310,000 ​ $ ( 135,346 ) ​ $ 174,654 Edward-Trade Names ​ 27,429 ​ ( 27,429 ) ​ — Edward-Goodwill ​ 568,532 ​ ( 568,532 ) ​ — ​ Total future amortization expenses for finite-lived intangible assets were estimated as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2025 (from October 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025) $ 23,511 2026 ​ 94,045 2027 ​ 94,045 2028 ​ 94,045 2029 ​ 94,045 Thereafter ​ 416,392 Total ​ $ 816,083 ​ ​ NOTE 9 — PREMIUM FINANCE On August 1, 2024, the Company entered into a premium finance agreement (the “Premium Finance Agreement”) with ETI Financial Corporation to finance the purchase of its directors and officers’ insurance.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, as it has generated a three -year cumulative pretax book loss and is forecasting a loss for 2025. Based on this evidence, realization of deferred tax assets is not considered more-likely-than-not at this time. The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, using a two-step process to determine whether tax positions will be sustained. The Company has concluded that there are no uncertain tax positions requiring recognition as of September 30, 2025 and 2024. The Company was not previously subject to the interest expenses limitation under §163(j) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, due to the small business exemption. Its average annual gross receipts for the three tax years preceding 2022 do not exceed the relevant threshold amount ($ 27 million for 2022). The Company no longer met the small business exception in 2024, but it meets one of the other exceptions to the §163(j) limitation, “floor plan financing indebtedness” (indebtedness used to finance the acquisition of motor vehicles held for sale or lease or secured by such inventory) and will therefore continue to be exempt from the §163(j) interest expenses limitation in 2025. The Company monitors tax law changes and has determined that no recent changes materially impact the financial statements. 29 Table of Contents NOTE 13 — CONCENTRATIONS Political and economic risk While the Company’s operations are based in the United States, its primary revenue was historically derived from the PRC markets. Since the first half of 2025, the Company’s primary market has been shifted to the U.S. domestic market. However, the Company’s logistics services primarily cater to customers engaged in cross-border trade between the U.S. and the PRC. As such, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by political, economic, and legal environments in the U.S. and the PRC, as well as by the general states of the U.S. and the PRC economy. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory, and social conditions in the U.S. and the PRC. Although the Company has not experienced losses from these situations and believes that it is in compliance with existing laws and regulations, including its organization and structure disclosed in Note 1, such experience may not be indicative of future results. Recent tariff actions imposed by governments of the U.S. and the PRC present risks to the Company’s logistics and warehousing operations, potentially affecting shipping volumes, warehouse utilization, and customer demand. The Company has been monitoring trade policy developments closely. Credit risk As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all of the Company’s cash was on deposit at financial institutions in the U.S., which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation subject to certain limitations. The Company also closely monitors the collectability of its loan receivables and, to date, has no t incurred any losses on such balances. Concentrations The Company has undergone a business transformation since the acquisition of Edward, which happened in February 2024 and TWEW in December 2024 (see also NOTE 8 — Intangible Asset and Goodwill). As of the date of this quarterly report, the Company’s logistic and warehousing business is still in its early development stage.
