[2] Lawsuit provision represented liabilities accrual for closed and on-going lawsuits the Group did not pay or make settlement. The Group regularly reviews these disputes to determine whether its accruals are adequate. The amount of ultimate loss may differ from these estimates. In January 2023, NWTN Zhejiang invited Tiancheng Coating System Changzhou Co., Ltd. (“Tiancheng”) to bid for a coating production line project and Tiancheng was orally notified as the winning bidder to claim total amount plus interest of RMB94.7 million in February 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the Group considered to bear the obligation of this payment of RMB47.4 million (US$6.5 million), half of the total claimed amount. Subsequently, Tiancheng filed an appeal against the first-instance judgment. Tiancheng claimed that NWTN Zhejiang shall pay RMB30 million (US$4.3 million) as compensation for relevant losses resulting in reversal of RMB17.4 million (US$2.2 million) of the previous recognized lawsuit provision for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025 and the issuance date of the audited consolidated financial statements, the second-instance proceedings remain ongoing, the Company considered to bear the obligation of this payment and US$4.3 million has been reflected in lawsuit provision. Xingjing (Guangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. (“Xingjing”) alleged that under a system development service contract signed in June 2023 for RMB2.6 million, NWTN Zhejiang paid only the initial 30% installment and defaulted on the remaining payments. Through court mediation on April 29, 2025, the parties agreed that NWTN Zhejiang would pay RMB1.8 million (US$0.3 million) by September 30, 2025; as of December 31, 2025 and the issuance date of the audited consolidated financial statements, this amount remains outstanding. Anfeirui Engineering Technology (Chengdu) Co., Ltd., Shanghai Zhuolun International Logistics Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Yarui Standard Technology Service Co., Ltd., Shanghai Longchuang Automotive Design Co., Ltd., Shanghai Luanming Automobile Technology Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Xundao New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. provided project management, freight forwarding services, technical standard certification services, mold development, supplied interior and exterior modification and customization services to the Group, respectively.
