During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of the following entities:

 

● PJ Marine Singapore Pte. Ltd. on January 2, 2026

● Peijun Marine Consultant Co., Ltd. on January 27, 2026

● PJ Marine Shanghai Co., Ltd. on March 23, 2026

 

These acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The Company concluded that each acquired entity met the definition of a business, as the acquired set included inputs and substantive processes capable of generating outputs.

 

The results of operations of PJ Marine Singapore Pte. Ltd., Peijun Marine Consultant Co., Ltd. and PJ Marine Shanghai Co., Ltd. have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates.

 

For the year ended March 31, 2026, the acquired businesses collectively contributed revenue of approximately US$817,704 and net income of approximately US$326,126 to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

 

Pro forma revenue data and pro forma earnings data were not disclosed because the impact was immaterial.

 

Acquisition of PJ Marine Singapore Pte. Ltd.

 

On January 2, 2026, the Company acquired 100% equity interest in PJ Marine Singapore Pte. Ltd.

 

The total consideration comprised (i) cash consideration of US$965,000 payable at closing, and (ii) deferred cash consideration of US$965,000 payable one year after the acquisition date.

 

The deferred consideration is non-interest bearing (Note 10). The acquisition date fair value was determined by discounting the expected future payment using an appropriate discount rate reflecting market participant assumptions. The difference between the nominal amount and fair value is recognized as a deferred consideration payable at the acquisition date. The deferred consideration payable is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method and accreted to its contractual settlement amount, with the unwinding of the discount recognized as interest expense over the one-year settlement period.
