NOTE 9 — Intangible Asset and Goodwill

1)Acquisition of Edward

On January 24, 2024, Cheetah Net entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of Edward. The transaction closed on February 2, 2024. The gross purchase price was $1.5 million. Consideration paid consisted of $0.3 million of cash and the issuance of 398 shares of Cheetah Net’s Class A common stock with a fair value of $1.2 million. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), it was determined that the fair value of the stock consideration was $0.9 million at the time of the transaction, reflecting a comprehensive evaluation of the stock’s market conditions and liquidity impacted by lock-up period restrictions.

The purchase price was initially recorded on a preliminary basis as of February 2, 2024. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were estimated based on management’s estimates, available information, and supportable assumptions that management considered reasonable. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation. As a result, adjustments were made, particularly concerning the deferred tax liability related to intangible assets, which led to a corresponding adjustment in the value of goodwill. The final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was reflected in the financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and shown below.
