Interest income from such arrangements with a significant financing component is presented as other income. Receivables related to the vehicle installment payment are expected to be repaid by customers beyond one year of the dates of the financial statements are recognized as non-current assets.

The Private Warrants contain exercise and settlement features that may change with a change in the holder, which precludes the Private Warrants from being indexed to the Company’s own stock.

Revenue recognition policy for the revenue stream is as follows:</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><b><i><span style="text-decoration:underline">Operational management and delivery services</span></i></b></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Group provides operational management services and intelligent solutions, including workforce management and delivery service solutions, to enterprise customers.

The Group concluded that each completed delivery order represents a single performance obligation. Customers obtain the benefit of the delivery services when the delivery order is completed in accordance with the agreed service requirements. The Group charges customers a fixed fee per completed delivery order, subject to adjustments based on predefined performance criteria. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the delivery order is completed and accepted by the customer, as the Group obtains an enforceable right to consideration only upon completion of the required services.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Group acts as a principal in these arrangements as it controls the services before they are transferred to customers, is primarily responsible for fulfilling the service obligations, and bears the related operational risks. Accordingly, revenue is recognized on a gross basis based on the completed delivery orders at the contractual rates.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><b><i><span style="text-decoration:underline">Sales of smart electric vehicles</span></i></b></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Group generates revenue from sales of smart electric vehicles through purchase orders. The Group identified only one performance obligation to provide customers with vehicles, at a fixed price stated in the purchase orders. Full prepayment is required before or upon the Group’s delivery of the vehicles. Revenue is recognized at a point of time upon the customer’s acceptance of the smart electric vehicles. The Group is deemed as the principal, recognizing revenue on a gross basis as the Group is primary responsible for fulfilling the contract, bears the inventory risk, and has the discretion in establishing the sales price.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In the normal course of business, the Group’s warranties are required by the law and related to the risk of purchasing defective products. In addition, the Group would not sell a warranty separately. Accordingly, warranty costs are treated as a cost of fulfillment subject to accrual, rather than a performance obligation. The Group recognize the warranty when actual repair or replacement incur as the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated due to the very short experience in sales of vehicles.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In the instance that a customer selects to pay by installments for vehicles under an auto financing program provided to the customers by the Group, such arrangement contains a significant financing component and as a result, the transaction price is adjusted to reflect the impact of time value of the transaction price using an applicable discount rate (i.e. the interest rates of the loan reflecting the credit risk of the borrower). Interest income from such arrangements with a significant financing component is presented as other income. Receivables related to the vehicle installment payment are expected to be repaid by customers beyond one year of the dates of the financial statements are recognized as non-current assets. The difference between the gross receivable and the respective present value is recorded as unearned interest income. Interest income from such arrangements with a significant financing component is presented separately from revenue from contracts with customers.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

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.

The Group’s operating subsidiaries in PRC are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities. According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or the withholding agent. The statute of limitations is extended to five years under special circumstances, where the underpayment of taxes is more than RMB100,000 (US$14,572). In the case of transfer pricing issues, the statute of limitation is ten years. There is no statute of limitation in the case of tax evasion.

Pursuant to these agreements, the vehicles to be sold would be transferred to export agents (such as China National Vehicles IMP. &amp; EXP. Co., Ltd, hereinafter referred to as “Vehicles IMP. &amp; EXP.”) and then purchased by FZCO through separate vehicle sales agreements. These sales agreements were procedural in nature, in order to facilitate the process of vehicles exportation from Mainland China to the Group’s factory in the UAE. In this regard, the Group did not recognize revenue or cost. In addition, the transaction price would be separately settled under each agreement, therefore, the Group recognized the receivables from Jizhida’an in prepaid expenses and other current assets and payables to Vehicles IMP. &amp; EXP in accounts payable. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Group recorded a full allowance for credit losses on amounts due from export agents based on management’s assessment of the collectability of such receivables.</span></td> </tr></table> <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">For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Group did not recognize any credit losses from continuing operations.

The dispute was concluded in January 2025 and the Group was ordered by the arbitrator to pay a total of US$14.7 million plus interest to settle all claims and counterclaims. As the contractual arrangements relating to the Loop Capital Dispute were entered into by ICONIQ, a former subsidiary of the Group which was disposed of in February 2026, the arbitration award is attributable to the Group’s discontinued operations. Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Group, ICONIQ and Loop Capital entered into a Mutual General Release Letter, pursuant to which the parties agreed to release each other from all claims, liabilities, obligations and demands arising from or relating to matters occurring on or prior to the execution date of the release.
