EIT Law grants preferential tax treatment to High and New Technology Enterprises (“HNTEs”) at a rate of 15%, subject to a requirement that they re-apply for HNTE status every three years. The Group’s subsidiaries, Autozi China and Beijing Quantum were approved as a HNTE and are entitled to a reduced income tax rate of 15% beginning from 2020 and 2019, respectively. The certificate is valid for three years. In December 2023, Autozi China has renewed its HNTE certificate and thus is subject to the preferential income tax rate of 15% from 2020 to 2025. Beijing Quantum did not apply for HNTE certificate renewal as it did not expect to be profitable in the near future. Therefore, Beijing Quantum is subject to the income tax rate of 25% from 2022.

AUTOZI INTERNET TECHNOLOGY (GLOBAL) LTD. NOTES TO COMBINED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022, 2023 AND 2024 (In U.S. dollars in thousands, except share and per share data) According to PRC tax regulations, the PRC enterprise net operating loss can generally carry forward for no longer than five years, and HNTE’s net operating losses can be carried forward for no more than 10 years, starting from the year subsequent to the year in which the loss was incurred. Carryback of losses is not permitted. The Group will re-apply for the HNTE certificate when the prior certificate expires in the foreseeable future. Total net operating losses (NOLs) carryforwards of the Group’s subsidiaries in mainland China is US$67,406 and US$66,448 as of September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, net operating loss carryforwards from PRC will expire in calendar years 2025 through 2034, if not utilized. The NOLs carryforwards of the Group’s subsidiary in Hong Kong are nil and US$18 as of September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively, which can be carried forward without an expiration date. The Group considers positive and negative evidence to determine whether some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of recent losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the Group’s experience with tax attributes expiring unused and tax planning alternatives. Valuation allowances have been established for deferred tax assets based on a more-likely-than-not threshold. Under the applicable accounting standards, management has considered the Group’s history of losses and concluded that it is more likely than not that the Group will not generate future taxable income prior to the expiration of the majority of net operating losses. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2023 and 2024, US$12,611 and US$12,549 valuation allowance has been established, respectively. The Group evaluates each uncertain tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and measure the unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions. As of September 30, 2022, 2023 and 2024, the Group did not have any unrecognized uncertain tax positions and the Group does not believe that its unrecognized tax benefits will change over the next twelve months. For the years ended September 30, 2022, 2023 and 2024, the Company did not incur any interest and penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expenses. As of September 30, 2024, the tax years ended December 31, 2019 through 2023 for the Group’s subsidiaries in the PRC are generally subject to examination by the PRC tax authorities.
