CTNTHIGH SIGNALFINANCIAL10-K

CTNT shows severe financial distress with dramatic declines in cash, inventory, and receivables alongside continued operating losses, while also changing its state of incorporation from North Carolina to Delaware.

The company's cash position has fallen to just $233K from $1.7M, representing a critical liquidity concern that could threaten operations. Combined with substantial reductions in inventory and receivables, this suggests either a major business contraction or potential going-concern issues that require immediate attention from investors.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

CTNT experienced severe balance sheet deterioration with cash declining 86% to $233K and inventory falling 75% to $1.5M, while current liabilities increased 52%. Despite reduced interest expense and a smaller net loss of $3.6M versus $5.2M previously, operating losses worsened to $4.6M, indicating that the improved bottom line came primarily from lower financing costs rather than operational improvement. The overall financial picture signals acute distress with critical liquidity constraints.

The number of the registrant s shares of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, outstanding on March 19, 2026, was 36,177,712 .
Overview We are a provider of logistics and warehousing services, historically in connection with the sale of parallel-import vehicles sourced in the U.S.
to be sold in the PRC market, and more recently for the transportation of other goods between the U.S.
Parallel-import vehicles in the PRC refer to automobiles purchased directly from overseas markets and imported for sale outside of the brand manufacturers official distribution networks.
Between 2016 and the first half of 2022, we experienced growth in sales volume and gross profit in the parallel-import vehicle business due to favorable market conditions.
Beginning in the second half of 2023, the business was negatively affected by a decline in customer demand due to weakening macroeconomic conditions, price competition from luxury automakers in the PRC, and a shift in consumer preference toward domestic electric vehicles ( EVs ).
These market challenges led to a decline in parallel-import vehicle sales by 30.5% in 2023, and 95.7% in 2024, with vehicle sales declining to 14 units in 2024 from 303 units in 2023.
In addition, we recorded a credit loss of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, due to the increasing difficulty in collecting outstanding receivables.
On March 3, 2025, our board of directors approved the discontinuation of the Company s parallel-import vehicle business.

The number of the registrant s shares of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, outstanding on March 11, 2025, was 2,672,011 .
Overview For the year ended December 31, 2024, we generated revenues from two sources: parallel-import vehicles sales and logistics and warehousing services, while parallel-import vehicles segment was our only source of revenue in 2023.
We began our operations in 2016 as a seller of parallel-import vehicles, sourcing vehicles in the U.S.
Parallel-import vehicles used to be popular in the PRC because they were generally priced 10% to 15% cheaper than vehicles sold through distribution systems authorized by brand manufacturers.
In addition, some overseas models can only be obtained through this channel rather than through the brand manufacturers authorized distribution systems as a result of certain regulations that prohibit their production and sale in the PRC due to environmental protection and emission standards.
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, parallel-import vehicles contributed 78.2% and 100.0% of our total revenue, respectively.
However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdowns in the PRC, and weaker customer demand in the PRC caused by deteriorating macroeconomic conditions and a growing preference for domestically produced electric vehicles ( EVs ), our parallel-import vehicle sales volume has been significantly reduced.
We sold 14 and 303 vehicles during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, generating total revenue of $1.6 million and $38.3 million, respectively, representing a decrease of 95.7% from 2023 to 2024.
To offset the negative impact brought by the decline in the parallel-import vehicle market and to diversify our revenue sources, in February 2024, we acquired Edward Transit Express Group Inc.
