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

Logistics and Warehousing Services
The Company’s subsidiary, Edward, operates as a licensed Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier. It manages freight forwarding, including shipment consolidation and carrier selection, aimed at optimizing shipping operations. Edward also provides warehousing services encompassing fulfillment, storage, and inventory management, crucial for supporting both the Company’s operations and its clients’ logistics needs. On April 1, 2026, the Company completed the disposition of Edward pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated March 25, 2026.
The Company’s subsidiary, TWEW, specializes in general labor support services and logistics coordination, providing workforce solutions and operational efficiency tools tailored to the logistics and labor sectors. TWEW’s expertise in labor management and logistical support enables the Company to streamline operations, expand service offering, and enhance market position. The Company is undergoing a business transformation of its business model. The Company is shifting its business focus from parallel-import vehicle sales to logistics and warehousing services. Management continues to focus on improving operational efficiencies and expanding its market presence of the two acquired businesses. The transformation of the Company’s business model could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. The business shift may take longer time than expected to generate ideal profits depending on factors from the business environment and operation management and market expansion.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. As a U.S.-based company operating exclusively within the domestic market and transacting solely in United States Dollars (USD), both the Company’s presentation and functional currencies are the USD. This uniformity simplifies the Company’s financial reporting process and ensures clarity in its financial transactions. The Company’s financial statements, therefore, are presented in USD, in compliance with U.S. GAAP requirements, and provide transparent and straightforward financial information to the Company’s stockholders.
Use of estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, allowance credit losses of accounts receivables and loan receivable from third parties, the revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets, and the realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Going Concern Consideration
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
The Company reported a net operating loss of approximately $ 0.6 million for three months ended March 31, 2026, and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $ 2.5 million. As the Company has been transitioning to the logistics and warehousing service business, the Company may continue to incur operating losses and generate negative cash flow. These factors raise doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $ 0.7 million and a working capital balance of $ 47.3 million. In addition, the Company had loan receivable from third parties of approximately $ 4.4 million, which can be sufficient for the Company to support its ongoing business operations and meet the obligations in the future.
Management has evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern. This evaluation considered the Company’s current financial condition, expected cash flows, obligations due within the next 12 months, and available sources of liquidity.

Table of Contents
While management understands that the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully execute its new business strategy and eventually attain profitable operations, management has concluded that there are no conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026 have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Risks and uncertainties
The Company is undergoing a business transformation of our business model. As a company located in the U.S. and doing business with the PRC, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by political, economic, and legal environments in the U.S. and the PRC, as well as by the general state of the U.S. and the PRC economies. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory, and social conditions in the U.S. and the PRC.
Risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s business include, but are not limited to, the following:
● The 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 Company’s logistics and warehousing business depend highly on the limited customers and third-party transportation and labor providers;
● Any adverse change in political relations between the PRC and the U.S., including the ongoing trade conflicts between the U.S. and the PRC, may negatively affect its business; and
● The competition of logistics and warehousing industry dependent on factors such as service quality, speed reliability, and pricing may limit our expanding non-vehicle logistics warehousing revenue, and the Company’s success in these areas will depend on our ability to develop and scale an effective salesforce to market these services to international trading companies in the U.S. and the PRC.
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 three months when purchased. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, all cash and cash equivalents were related to continuing operations.

Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable represent the amounts that the Company has an unconditional right to consideration, which are stated at the original amount less an allowance of credit loss, in accordance with the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model under ASC 326. The Company estimates expected credit losses based on a combination of historical loss experience, customer creditworthiness, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forward-looking information. The allowance for credit losses is updated at each reporting period to reflect changes in credit risk. The allowance for credit losses is recorded against accounts receivable balances, with a corresponding charge to the consolidated statements of operations. Delinquent account balances are written off against the allowance when management determines that collection is remote. If previously written-off receivables are subsequently recovered, the Company records a reversal of the allowance for credit losses.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, no allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable from continuing operations was recorded. (See Note 6 – Discontinued Operations for further details.)
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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, no impairment allowance was recorded for the loan receivable.
Deposit on long-term investment
Under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), investments in private equity fund, which in our case, the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence, is accounted for under the practical expedient in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) to estimate fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) of the investment (“NAV practical expedient”) (ASC 820-10-35-59).
On January 5, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, which amends the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, stipulates that an investment in an investee over which the entity does not have significant influence and which do not have readily determinable fair value and do not qualify for NAV practical expedient, is permitted to elect a practicability exception to fair value measurement, under which the investment will be measured at cost, less impairment, plus or minus observable price changes (in orderly transactions) of an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The ASU clarifies that when identifying observable price changes, an entity should consider relevant transactions “that are known or can reasonably be known” and that an entity is not required to spend undue cost and effort to identify such transactions. The ASU also indicates that an entity should consider a security’s rights and obligations, such as voting rights, distribution rights and preferences, and conversion features, when evaluating whether the security issued by the same issuer is similar to the equity security held by the entity.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company made a deposit of RMB 280 million related to a pending long-term investment.
Property, plant, and equipment, net
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

Table of Contents
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expenses as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized.
Intangible assets, net
The Company recorded intangible assets with the acquisitions of Edward and TWEW during the first quarter and the fourth quarter of 2024, respectively (see Note 8- Intangible Asset and Goodwill). Intangible assets consist of developed technology, customer relationships, and trade names, which are amortized on a straight-line basis or over their respective useful lives using patterns that reflect the economic benefits the assets are expected to realize. The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.
Amortization of intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as below:
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 did no t recognize any impairment to intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of input used to measure fair value are as follows:
● 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 March 31, 2026 and 2025 based upon the short-term nature of the assets and liabilities.
The Company applied level 3 to obtain the fair value of intangible assets and goodwill. See NOTE 8 — Intangible Asset and Goodwill.
The Company believes that the carrying amount of long-term loans approximated fair value as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 based on the terms of the borrowings and current market rates as the rates of the borrowings are reflective of the current market rates.

Table of Contents
Leases
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 842, Leases (“Topic 842”). The Company leases office space, which is classified as operating leases in accordance with Topic 842. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases, usually with an initial term of 12 months or less) on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.
At the commencement date, the Company recognizes the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. The ROU asset is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All ROU assets are reviewed for impairment annually. There was no impairment for ROU lease assets as of March 31, 2026 and 2025.
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.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held-and-used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If an impairment indicator is present, the Company evaluates recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group to the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset group. If the assets are impaired, an impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate consistent with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did no t record any impairment.
Revenue recognition
ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. ASC 606 requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance

Table of Contents
obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. Under the new guidance, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the new guidance requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
The Company generated revenue from the parallel-import vehicle dealership and logistics and warehousing services. Revenue from the parallel-import vehicle dealership business is generated from the sales of parallel-import vehicles to both domestic and overseas parallel-import car dealers. It purchases automobiles from the U.S. market through its team of professional purchasing agents, and mainly resells them to parallel-import car dealers in the U.S. and the PRC. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time when the performance obligation has been satisfied and control of the vehicles has been transferred to the dealers. For sales to U.S. domestic parallel-import car dealers, revenue is recognized when a vehicle is delivered, and its title has been transferred to the dealers. For overseas sales, the Company sells vehicles under Cost and Freight (“CFR”) shipping point terms, and revenue is recognized when a vehicle is loaded on a cargo ship and its title has been transferred to the dealers. The Company accounts for the revenue generated from sales of vehicles on a gross basis as the Company is acting as a principal in these transactions, is subject to inventory risk, has latitude in establishing prices, and is responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide customers the specified goods, which the Company has control of the goods and has the ability to direct the use of goods to obtain substantially all the benefits. All of the Company’s contracts have one single performance obligation as the promise is to transfer the individual vehicle to parallel-import vehicle dealers, and there is no separately identifiable other promise in the contracts. The Company’s vehicles are sold with no right of return and the Company does not provide other credits or sales incentives to parallel-import car dealers. Historically, no customer returns have occurred. Therefore, the Company did not provide any sales return allowances for the period ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
In 2025, the Company started generating revenues from freight forwarding services provided by Edward and general labor and logistics provided by TWEW to corporate and retail clients, including transportation, cargo warehousing, freight forwarding, labor service, and cargo loading and unloading. Revenue for freight forwarding services, both export and import, is recognized when the services are provided. The Company’s role as the principal in these services involves managing the process up to the point where control is transferred based on contractual terms, allowing revenue recognition on a gross basis throughout the transit period. For warehousing services, revenue is primarily derived from storage fees, which are recognized based on the actual number of days the goods are stored in the warehouse while awaiting further transportation. Across all operations, the Company maintains a principal position, controlling the goods and services, bearing inventory and pricing risks, and fulfilling performance obligations directly. Each contract is typically structured with a single performance obligation without allowances for returns or sales incentives. There were no provisions for sales return allowances based on historical experiences of no returns.
Revenue from general labor and logistics services, provided through TWEW, is recognized upon services rendered, based on verified labor hours or project milestones outlined in client agreements, with billing tied to predefined service rates (e.g., per-hour fees or fixed-scope pricing). The Company recognize revenue on a gross basis as the principal service provider, reflecting its contractual obligation to deliver labor solutions to clients, despite outsourcing workforce operations to third parties. Contracts generally consist of a single performance obligation (supplying labor resources), with revenue measured at the transaction price agreed upon in service agreements. No provisions for returns or sales incentives are included, as historical experience indicates no material rights of return or refunds.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company disaggregates its revenue by geographic areas, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

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

Table of Contents
As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s consolidated income tax returns for the tax years ended December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2025 remained open for statutory examination by U.S. tax authorities.
(Loss) Earnings per share
The Company computes (loss) earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were no dilutive shares outstanding, as presented in the tables below:

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

PRC. Pursuant to the partnership agreement, Naiside subscribed for a 7.0 % limited partnership interest and, on January 29, 2026, Naiside made a capital contribution in the amount of US$ 40,131,287 to the fund in accordance with the partnership agreement. The fund is intended to invest primarily in China-based companies engaged in logistics technology, compliance technology, and supply chain technology and services, particularly those that provide products or services to customers in the United States and European markets. The fund will focus primarily on companies at venture capital stages, with each individual portfolio investment generally ranging from approximately US$ 0.7 million to US$ 7.0 million. The partnership agreement provides that the fund shall pay the general partner an annual management fee equal to 2 % of the fund’s paid-in capital, and further provides that, following the exit of any portfolio investment and the fund’s receipt of the applicable proceeds, the fund shall distribute available proceeds to its limited partner, after deducting or reserving for applicable investment principal, the general partner’s entitlement to 30 % of the net profits from such exit, and any other amounts payable or required to be reserved under the partnership agreement. The general partner is responsible for the execution of partnership affairs.
As a limited parter, the Company does not have the right to exercise significant influence over the Partnership. In addition, there are no readily determinable fair values for the Partnership. The management determined that it do not qualify for the existing practical expedient in Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) and elected to account this investment under the measurement alternative upon the adoption of ASU 2016-01 (the “Measurement Alternative”).
Following the guidance of 2016-ASU 2026-01, our long-term investment at RMB 280 million, is accounted for under the cost method as the Company had no significant influence over the investee which had no readily determinable fair value. No impairment is recorded for this deposit on long-term investment during the three months.
NOTE 6 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On March 3, 2025, the Company’s board of directors approved the discontinuation of the Company’s parallel-import vehicles business authorizing the writing off of receivables, and winding down of operations in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements — Discontinued Operations, the Company determined that the parallel-import vehicle segment met the conditions for reporting as a discontinued operation. As a result, all financial results associated with this business have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
Accounts Receivable, net
The Company’s parallel-import vehicle business was negatively impacted by deteriorating macroeconomic conditions since the second half of 2022. Several aged accounts receivable were concentrated among four long-term customers, who were in the process of business recovery.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company collected approximately $ 4.0 million related to accounts receivable generated in prior periods and earlier in the year. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had gross accounts receivable of approximately $ 4.1 million.
The Company conducted an initial assessment of collectability and recognized a credit loss of $ 1.1 million for accounts deemed uncollectible during the first three quarters of 2024. During the year-end CECL reassessment, the Company evaluated expected credit losses based on historical loss trends, customer risk factors, and forward-looking economic conditions, and provided an additional credit loss provision of $ 475,366 in the fourth quarter of 2024, resulting in a total allowance for credit loss of $ 1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

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

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

The Company assesses deferred tax assets to determine whether they are realizable. As of March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, as it has generated a three -year cumulative pretax book loss and is forecasting a loss for 2026. Based on this evidence, realization of deferred tax assets is not considered more-likely-than-not at this time.
The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, using a two-step process to determine whether tax positions will be sustained. The Company has concluded that there are no uncertain tax positions requiring recognition as of March 31, 2026 and 2025.
The Company was not previously subject to the interest expenses limitation under §163(j) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, due to the small business exemption. Its average annual gross receipts for the three tax years preceding 2022 do not exceed the relevant threshold amount ($ 27 million for 2022). The Company no longer met the small business exception in 2024, but it meets one of the other exceptions to the §163(j) limitation, “floor plan financing indebtedness” (indebtedness used to finance the acquisition of motor vehicles held for sale or lease or secured by such inventory) and will therefore continue to be exempt from the §163(j) interest expenses limitation in 2026.
The Company monitors tax law changes and has determined that no recent changes materially impact the financial statements.
