The Company, a Cayman Islands exempted company, was formed on February 28, 2022 to serve as a holding company.

The SPAC Transaction was completed through a two-step process as follows:</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">(Step 1) Merger Sub 1 merged with and into Caravelle Group (the “Initial Merger”), and Caravelle Group was the surviving corporation of the Initial Merger and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">(Step 2) following confirmation of the effectiveness of the Initial Merger, Merger Sub 2 merged with and into Pacifico (the “SPAC Merger” and together with the Initial Merger, the “Merger”), and Pacifico was the surviving corporation of the SPAC Merger and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “SPAC Transaction” or “reverse merger”).</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">As a result of the SPAC Transaction, among other things, (i) all outstanding Ordinary Shares of Caravelle Group were cancelled in exchange for 2,000,000 Ordinary Shares of the Company, (ii) each outstanding unit of Pacifico (the “Pacifico Unit”) was automatically detached, (iii) each unredeemed outstanding share of common stock of Pacifico (the “Pacifico Common Stock”) was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive one (1) Ordinary Share of the Company, (iv) every ten (10) outstanding rights of Pacifico (the “Pacifico Rights”) were contributed in exchange for one (1) one Ordinary Share of the Company, and were cancelled and ceased to exist, and (v) each unit purchase option of Pacifico (the “Pacifico UPO”) were automatically cancelled and ceased to exist in exchange for one (1) unit purchase option of the Company (the “UPO”).</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Caravelle Group was determined to be the accounting acquirer given that the original shareholders of Caravelle Group effectively controlled the combined entity after the Transaction.  Pacifico is treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based on the fact that subsequent to the SPAC Transaction, the Caravelle Group’s shareholders held a majority of the voting power of the combined company, Caravelle Group’s business comprised all of the ongoing operations of the combined entity, Caravelle Group comprised a majority of the governing body of the combined company, and Caravelle Group’s senior management comprised all of the senior management of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the SPAC Transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, which is equivalent to the issuance of shares by the Company for the net assets of Pacifico, accompanied by a recapitalization. Caravelle Group was determined to be the predecessor, and the historical financial statements of Caravelle Group became the Company’s historical financial statements, with retrospective adjustments to give effect of the reverse recapitalization. The share and per share data is retrospectively restated to give effect to the reverse recapitalization. Net assets of Pacifico were stated at historical costs. No goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded. Operations prior to the SPAC Transaction were those of the Caravelle Group.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">As of April 30, 2026, the Company’s subsidiaries are as follows:</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <table cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; border-spacing: 0px;"> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom"> <td style="border-bottom: Black 1.5pt solid; vertical-align: bottom; font-weight: bold; text-align: left">Subsidiaries</td><td style="padding-bottom: 1.5pt"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: Black 1.5pt solid; vertical-align: bottom; text-align: center"><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><b>Date of<br/> Incorporation/</b></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><b>Acquisition</b></p></td><td style="font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 1.5pt"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: Black 1.5pt solid; vertical-align: bottom; font-weight: bold; text-align: center">Jurisdiction of<br/> Formation</td><td style="font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 1.5pt"> </td> <td colspan="2" style="border-bottom: Black 1.5pt solid; vertical-align: bottom; font-weight: bold; text-align: center">Percentage of <br/> direct/indirect<br/> Economic<br/> Ownership</td><td style="padding-bottom: 1.5pt; font-weight: bold"> </td><td style="font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 1.5pt"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: Black 1.5pt solid; vertical-align: bottom; font-weight: bold; text-align: center">Principal<br/> Activities</td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-indent: -0.125in; padding-left: 0.125in; width: 20%; text-align: left">Caravelle Group Co., Ltd (“Caravelle Group”)</td><td style="width: 1%"> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; width: 19%; text-align: center">April 1, 2021</td><td style="width: 1%"> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; width: 19%; text-align: center">Cayman Islands</td><td style="width: 1%"> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; width: 1%; text-align: center"> </td><td style="vertical-align: top; width: 17%; text-align: center">100%</td><td style="width: 1%; text-align: left"></td><td style="width: 1%"> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; width: 19%; text-align: center">Investment Holding</td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; "> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-indent: -0.125in; padding-left: 0.125in; text-align: left">SGEX Group Co., Ltd (“SGEX”)</td><td> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center">April 19, 2021</td><td> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center">British Virgin Islands (“BVI”)</td><td> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center"> </td><td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center">100%</td><td style="text-align: left"></td><td> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center">Investment Holding</td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-indent: -0.125in; padding-left: 0.125in; text-align: left">Topsheen Shipping Group Corporation (“Topsheen Samoa”)</td><td> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center">July 23, 2012</td><td> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center">Samoa</td><td> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center"> </td><td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center">90%</td><td style="text-align: left"></td><td> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center">Transportation service</td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; "> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-indent: -0.125in; padding-left: 0.125in; text-align: left">Topsheen Shipping Singapore Pte.

Resulting translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of accumulated comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. For those business units that operate in a U.S. Dollar functional environment, foreign currency assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the end of the period except for nonmonetary assets and capital accounts, which are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are generally translated at monthly exchange rates which approximate average exchange rates in effect during each year, except for those expenses related to balance sheet amounts that are remeasured at historical exchange rates.

ASC 326 introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts, which replaces the previous incurred loss impairment model. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Group’s estimation of allowance for credit losses considers factors such as historical credit loss experience, age of receivable balances, current market conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, as well as an assessment of receivables due from specific identifiable counterparties to determine whether these receivables are considered at risk or uncollectible. The Group evaluates its accounts receivable for expected credit losses on a regular basis. The Group maintains an estimated allowance for credit losses to reduce its accounts receivable to the amount that it believes will be collected. The Group considers factors in assessing the collectability of its receivables, such as the age of the amounts due, the customer’s payment history, credit-worthiness and other specific circumstances related to the accounts. The Group adjusts the allowance percentage periodically when there are significant differences between estimated bad debts and actual bad debts. If there is strong evidence indicating that the accounts receivable is likely to be unrecoverable, the Group also makes specific allowance in the period in which a loss is determined to be probable. No credit losses were recorded as of April 30, 2026 and October 31, 2025, respectively.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Prepayments, prepaid expenses and other assets</i></b></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><b><i> </i></b></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Prepayments, prepaid expenses and other assets primarily consist of prepayments for fuel and other costs, prepayments for keyman insurance, which are presented net of allowance for credit losses.

Based on the evaluation of the control model, the Group determined that the Group is the principal to the transaction for voyage contracts and the related revenue from voyage contracts is recognized on a gross basis based on the transfer of control to the customer. The Group’s vessel service contracts engage in certain transactions wherein the Group act as an agent of ship owners. Revenue from these transactions is recorded on a net basis. Net revenue includes billings to customers less third-party charges, including transportation or handling costs, fees, commissions and taxes and duties.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><i>Revenue from voyage contracts</i></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Under a voyage contract, the Group is engaged to provide the transportation of cargo between specific ports in return for an ocean freight payment at an agreed upon freight per ton of cargo. The Group’s voyage contracts generally do not contain cancellation provisions. A voyage is deemed to commence when a vessel is available for loading and is deemed to end upon the completion of the discharge of the cargo. For the voyage contracts, the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance over the voyage period because of the continuous service to the customer. Customers receive the benefit of our services as the goods are transported from one location to another. If the Group is unable to complete delivery to the final location, another entity would not need to reperform the transportation service already performed. As control transfers over time, the Group recognizes revenue ratably from port of loading to when the charterer’s cargo is discharged based on the relative transit time completed in each reporting period. For the unfinished voyages, the Group estimates the percentage of completion based on voyage days completed and total estimated voyage days. Estimated losses on voyages are provided for in full at the time such losses become evident. Voyage expense and other ocean transportation operating costs are charged to operating costs as incurred.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><i>Revenue from vessel services </i></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Group contracts with various customers to carry out vessel services for vessels as agents for and on behalf of ship owners.

As the operator of the vessels, the Group undertakes to use its best endeavors to provide the agreed vessel services as agents for and on behalf of the ship owners and to protect and promote the interest of the ship owners in all matters relating to the provision of services. Most of the vessel service agreements have a term of less than one year and are typically billed on a monthly basis. The vessel service revenue is recorded on a net basis. Net revenue includes billings to customers, net of voyage operating expenses incurred. The Group transfers control of the service to the customer and satisfies its performance obligation over the term of the contract, and therefore recognized revenue over the term of the contracts.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><i>Revenue from others</i></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In February 2025, the Group began to provide technology consulting services related to onboard carbon capture technologies.

Accounts receivable represents amounts invoiced and revenues recognized prior to invoicing when the Group has satisfied the Group’s performance obligation and has the unconditional rights to payment. Contract liabilities are reflected as advance from customers on the consolidated balance sheet. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of completion of performance obligations under a contract.

The Group has lease contracts for shipping and office space under operating leases. The Group determines whether an arrangement constitutes a lease and records lease liabilities and right-of-use assets on its consolidated balance sheets at lease commencement. The Group measures its lease liabilities based on the present value of the total lease payments not yet paid discounted based on the more readily determinable of the rate implicit in the lease or its incremental borrowing rate, which is the estimated rate the Group would be required to pay for a collateralized borrowing equal to the total lease payments over the term of the lease. The Group estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on an analysis of weighted average interest rate. The Group measures right-of-use assets based on the corresponding lease liability adjusted for payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, and initial direct costs it incurs under the lease.

The Group’s estimation of allowance for credit losses considers factors such as historical credit loss experience, age of receivable balances, current market conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, as well as an assessment of receivables due from specific identifiable counterparties to determine whether these receivables are considered at risk or uncollectible. The Group evaluates its accounts receivable for expected credit losses on a regular basis. The Group maintains an estimated allowance for credit losses to reduce its accounts receivable to the amount that it believes will be collected. The Group considers factors in assessing the collectability of its receivables, such as the age of the amounts due, the customer’s payment history, credit-worthiness and other specific circumstances related to the accounts. The Group adjusts the allowance percentage periodically when there are significant differences between estimated bad debts and actual bad debts.

On November 1, 2019, the Group adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and all subsequent ASUs that modified ASC 606 using the modified retrospective approach. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, the Group applies the following steps:</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify">Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify">Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify">Step 3: Determine the transaction price</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify">Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify">Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Group primarily derives its freight revenue from voyage contracts and provides vessel services.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In accordance with ASC 606, the Group evaluates whether our businesses themselves promise to transfer services to the customer (as the principal) or to arrange for services to be provided by another party (as the agent) using a control model. Based on the evaluation of the control model, the Group determined that the Group is the principal to the transaction for voyage contracts and the related revenue from voyage contracts is recognized on a gross basis based on the transfer of control to the customer. The Group’s vessel service contracts engage in certain transactions wherein the Group act as an agent of ship owners. Revenue from these transactions is recorded on a net basis. Net revenue includes billings to customers less third-party charges, including transportation or handling costs, fees, commissions and taxes and duties.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><i>Revenue from voyage contracts</i></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Under a voyage contract, the Group is engaged to provide the transportation of cargo between specific ports in return for an ocean freight payment at an agreed upon freight per ton of cargo. The Group’s voyage contracts generally do not contain cancellation provisions. A voyage is deemed to commence when a vessel is available for loading and is deemed to end upon the completion of the discharge of the cargo. For the voyage contracts, the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance over the voyage period because of the continuous service to the customer. Customers receive the benefit of our services as the goods are transported from one location to another. If the Group is unable to complete delivery to the final location, another entity would not need to reperform the transportation service already performed. As control transfers over time, the Group recognizes revenue ratably from port of loading to when the charterer’s cargo is discharged based on the relative transit time completed in each reporting period. For the unfinished voyages, the Group estimates the percentage of completion based on voyage days completed and total estimated voyage days. Estimated losses on voyages are provided for in full at the time such losses become evident. Voyage expense and other ocean transportation operating costs are charged to operating costs as incurred.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><i>Revenue from vessel services </i></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Group contracts with various customers to carry out vessel services for vessels as agents for and on behalf of ship owners. These services include lease of vessels on behalf of the ship owners and commercial management. As the operator of the vessels, the Group undertakes to use its best endeavors to provide the agreed vessel services as agents for and on behalf of the ship owners and to protect and promote the interest of the ship owners in all matters relating to the provision of services. Most of the vessel service agreements have a term of less than one year and are typically billed on a monthly basis. The vessel service revenue is recorded on a net basis. Net revenue includes billings to customers, net of voyage operating expenses incurred. The Group transfers control of the service to the customer and satisfies its performance obligation over the term of the contract, and therefore recognized revenue over the term of the contracts.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><i>Revenue from others</i></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In February 2025, the Group began to provide technology consulting services related to onboard carbon capture technologies. The majority of the technology consulting contracts have a short term of up to one year and are typically billed in advance. Technology consulting revenue is recognized at the point in time when the required technical or feasibility assessments are delivered to the customers for their intended use, as control is transferred so that the customer can direct the use and obtain the associated benefits and the Group has an enforceable right to payment of its fees.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><i>Contract balances</i></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable represents amounts invoiced and revenues recognized prior to invoicing when the Group has satisfied the Group’s performance obligation and has the unconditional rights to payment. Contract liabilities are reflected as advance from customers on the consolidated balance sheet. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of completion of performance obligations under a contract. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue upon the fulfillment of performance obligations. As of April 30, 2026 and October 31, 2025, the advances from customers amounted to $8,045,440 and $7,427,910, respectively.

The Group has lease contracts for shipping and office space under operating leases. The Group determines whether an arrangement constitutes a lease and records lease liabilities and right-of-use assets on its consolidated balance sheets at lease commencement. The Group measures its lease liabilities based on the present value of the total lease payments not yet paid discounted based on the more readily determinable of the rate implicit in the lease or its incremental borrowing rate, which is the estimated rate the Group would be required to pay for a collateralized borrowing equal to the total lease payments over the term of the lease. The Group estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on an analysis of weighted average interest rate. The Group measures right-of-use assets based on the corresponding lease liability adjusted for payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, and initial direct costs it incurs under the lease.

Deferred income taxes are recognized when temporary differences exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period including the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. No significant penalties or interest relating to income taxes were incurred for the six months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025.

The Group is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-04, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2025-04 revises the definition of the term performance condition for share-based consideration payable to a customer to incorporate conditions that are based on the volume or monetary amount of a customer’s purchases or potential purchases. ASU 2025-04 also eliminates the policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur for awards with service conditions. ASU 2025-04 also clarifies that ASC 606 variable consideration guidance does not apply to share-based payments to customers; instead, vesting probability should be assessed solely under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. ASU 2025-04 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-04 may be applied on either a modified retrospective basis or on a retrospective basis. The Group is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. ASU 2025-05 amends ASC 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and introduces a practical expedient available for all entities and an accounting policy election available for all entities, other than public business entities, that elect the practical expedient. These changes apply to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue Recognition. Under the practical expedient, entities may assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts. This simplifies the estimation process for short-term financial assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-05 should be applied on a prospective basis. The Group is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.  </p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities to establish authoritative guidance on the accounting for government grants received by business entities. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2028, though early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvement. ASU 2025-11 is intended to improve the navigability of required interim disclosures and clarify when that guidance is applicable, and also to provide additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods. ASU 2025-11 is effective for public business entities for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements. ASU 2025-12 makes thirty-three incremental improvements to generally accepted accounting principles. ASU 2025-12 is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Group is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;

If an event of default occurs under a Pre-Paid Purchase, the outstanding balance will become immediately due and payable. At any time thereafter, upon written notice given by Streeterville, the outstanding balance will increase by ten percent (10%) and interest will begin accruing at a rate of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">  </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">On November 1, 2025, the Company issued 652,883 Class A Ordinary Shares as the Commitment Shares and Pre-Delivery Shares. On November 7, 2025, the Company closed the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase of $3,230,000. The net proceed from the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase was $3,000,000 (after deducting OID and other issuance costs). Concurrently, on October 29, 2026, the Company issued 630,000 Class A Ordinary Shares to Streeterville as pre-delivery shares (the “Pre-delivery Shares”) to facilitate future settlement liquidity. The Company did not receive any proceeds or pay any consideration related to the Pre-delivery Shares of 630,000, except that the Company received a one-time nominal fee of $1,575 upon the issuance of the Pre-delivery Shares and will pay the same amount to Streeterville upon the repurchase of Pre-delivery Shares. The Company accounted for such promissory note as a single instrument, which was measured at its amortized cost on the consolidated balance sheets. Although legally issued, the Pre-delivery Shares were not considered outstanding and therefore excluded from basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share unless default of the share lending arrangement occurs, at which time the Pre-delivery Shares would be included in the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">On April 28, 2026, the Company entered into a Payoff Acknowledgment and Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Streeterville, pursuant to which Streeterville acknowledges that it received a total of $4,191,247 to Streeterville (among which $2,600,000 was paid by High Trend on behalf of the Company, see Note 9), consisting of (i) a Payoff Amount of $4,189,453 for full satisfaction of all obligations under Pre-Paid Purchase #1, (ii) a repurchase price of $1,575 for the Pre-Delivery Shares, and (iii) an overpayment of $219 which shall be remitted back to a Company designated account. The Securities Purchase Agreement was deemed terminated, effective as of April 28, 2026, with no Pre-Paid Purchases remaining outstanding and no further funding obligations arising thereunder. Streeterville acknowledged receipt of the required repurchase price and agreed to return the Pre-Delivery Shares (630,000 Class A Ordinary Shares) to the Company. Following notice given on April 30, 2026, the 630,000 Pre-Delivery Shares were effectively returned and cancelled on May 4, 2026.
