The amount presented includes foreign exchange differences arising from (i) translation into the functional currency to reflect end-of-period exchange rates, with any gains or losses included in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, and (ii) translation of the accounts of foreign subsidiaries with non-USD functional currencies, with  the resulting cumulative translation adjustments recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and accumulated in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) within equity.
 
(2)
The investment in MPC CSI GmbH, which holds 16.68% of the investment in MPCC, was consolidated for the first time as of January 1, 2026, following the termination of a voting agreement between the Company and a third-party investor. As a result, 100% of the subsidiary’s investment in MPCC is reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The impact of the first-time consolidation in the amount of $23,155,175 is, therefore, solely attributable to non-controlling interests.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at January 1, 2026:
