Upon completion of the reorganization, the Company’s subsidiaries are as follows:

Therefore, the Group’s revenue is either not subject or exempt from income tax according to the tax regulations prevailing in the country in which the Group operates. Hong Kong does not impose withholding tax on dividends and interest currently.
Certain Mainland China Tax Laws and RegulationsConsideration
The Enterprise Income Tax Law and the Implementing Rules impose a uniform 25% enterprise income tax rate to both foreign invested enterprises and domestic enterprises in Mainland China, except where tax incentives are granted to special industries and projects. Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, an enterprise established outside PRC with “de facto management bodies” within Mainland China is considered a “resident enterprise” for Mainland China enterprise income tax purposes and is generally subject to a uniform 25% enterprise income tax rate on its worldwide income. The Notice Regarding the Determination of Chinese-Controlled Offshore Incorporated Enterprises as PRC Tax Resident Enterprises on the Basis of De Facto Management Bodies promulgated by the SAT and last amended on December 29, 2017 and the Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Issues concerning the Determination of Resident Enterprises Based on the Standards of Actual Management Institutions promulgated by the SAT on January 29, 2014 set out the standards used to classify certain Chinese invested enterprises controlled by Mainland China enterprises or Mainland China enterprise groups and established outside of China as “resident enterprises”, which also clarified that dividends and other income paid by such Mainland China “resident enterprises” will be considered Mainland China source income and subject to Mainland China withholding tax, currently at a rate of 10%, when paid to non-Mainland China enterprise shareholders. This notice also subjects such Mainland China “resident enterprises” to various reporting requirements with the Mainland China tax authorities. Under the Implementing Rules, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that has material and overall management and control over the manufacturing and business operations, personnel and human resources, finances and properties of an enterprise. On October 17, 2017, the SAT issued the Bulletin on Issues Concerning the Withholding of Non-PRC Resident Enterprise Income Tax at Source, or Bulletin 37, which replaced the Notice on Strengthening Administration of Enterprise Income Tax for Share Transfers by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises, issued by the SAT, on December 10, 2009, and partially replaced and supplemented by the rules under the Bulletin on Issues of Enterprise Income Tax on Indirect Transfers of Assets by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises, or Bulletin 7, issued by the SAT, on February 3, 2015. Under Bulletin 7, an “indirect transfer” of assets, including equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise, by non-PRC resident enterprises may be re-characterized and treated as a direct transfer of PRC taxable assets, if such arrangement does not have a reasonable commercial purpose and was established for the purpose of avoiding payment of PRC enterprise income tax. As a result, gains derived from such indirect transfer may be subject to PRC enterprise income tax. In respect of an indirect offshore transfer of assets of a Mainland China establishment, the relevant gain is to be regarded as effectively connected with the Mainland China establishment and therefore included in its enterprise income tax filing, and would consequently be subject to enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Where the underlying transfer relates to the immoveable properties in China or to equity investments in a PRC resident enterprise, which is not effectively connected to a Mainland China establishment of a non-resident enterprise, a PRC enterprise income tax at 10% would apply, subject to available preferential tax treatment under applicable tax treaties or similar arrangements, and the party who is obligated to make the transfer payments bears the withholding obligation. Pursuant to Bulletin 37, the withholding party shall declare and pay the withheld tax to the competent tax authority in the place where such withholding party is located within 7 days from the date of occurrence of the withholding obligation. Both Bulletin 37 and Bulletin 7 do not apply to transactions of sale of shares by investors through a public stock exchange where such shares were acquired from a transaction through a public stock exchange.
6
The National People’s Congress of the PRC enacted the Enterprise Income Tax Law, which became effective on January 1, 2008 and last amended on December 29, 2018. According to Enterprise Income Tax Law and the Regulation on the Implementation of the Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the Implementing Rules, which became effective on January 1, 2008 and further amended on April 23, 2019, dividends generated after January 1, 2008 and payable by a foreign-invested enterprise in Mainland China to its foreign enterprise investors are subject to a 10% withholding tax, unless any such foreign enterprise investor’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with the PRC that provides for a preferential withholding arrangement. According to the Notice of the Arrangement between Mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income (“Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement”), the withholding tax rate in respect of the payment of dividends by a Mainland China enterprise to a Hong Kong enterprise may be reduced to 5% from a standard rate of 10% if the Hong Kong enterprise directly holds at least 25% of the Mainland China enterprise and certain other conditions are met, including: (i) the Hong Kong enterprise must directly own the required percentage of equity interests and voting rights in the Mainland China resident enterprise; and (ii) the Hong Kong enterprise must have directly owned such required percentage in the Mainland China resident enterprise throughout the 12 months prior to receiving the dividends. However, based on the Circular on Certain Issues with Respect to the Enforcement of Dividend Provisions in Tax Treaties issued on February 20, 2009 by the SAT, if the relevant PRC tax authorities determine, in their discretion, that a company benefits from such reduced income tax rate due to a structure or arrangement that is primarily tax-driven, such Mainland China tax authorities may adjust the preferential tax treatment; and based on the Announcement on Certain Issues with Respect to the “Beneficial Owner” in Tax Treaties issued by the SAT on February 3, 2018 and effective from April 1, 2018, if an applicant’s business activities do not constitute substantive business activities, it could result in the negative determination of the applicant’s status as a “beneficial owner”, and consequently, the applicant could be precluded from enjoying the above-mentioned reduced income tax rate of 5% under the Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement.
We conduct our operations solely in Hong Kong through our Hong Kong Subsidiaries without any operation, subsidiary or VIE structure in Mainland China. None of our subsidiaries directly or indirectly hold any interests in any enterprises in Mainland China, and all of our revenues and profits are generated by our Hong Kong Subsidiaries in Hong Kong. We do not consider the said Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement, or any Mainland Chinese taxation law and regulations, restrict our ability to conduct our business, accept foreign investment or impose limitations on our ability to list on any U.S. or foreign stock exchange.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Substantially all of our operations are conducted in open sea and all of our revenue, expenses, and cash are denominated in USD. As of December 31, 2024, cash of approximately $4.9 million were held by the Group, of which $4.7 million were held in Singapore.
The Company is a holding company with no material operations of its own. We conduct operations primarily through our subsidiaries in Hong Kong. As a result, the Group’s ability to pay dividends depends upon dividends paid by our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are permitted to pay dividends to us only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with the Hong Kong accounting standards and regulations.
In assessing our liquidity, we monitor and analyze our cash on hand, our ability to generate sufficient revenue sources in the future and our operating and capital expenditure commitments. As of December 31, 2024, we had cash of approximately $4.9 million. Our current assets were approximately $6.0 million, and our current liabilities were approximately $35.7 million, which resulted in a working capital deficit of approximately $29.8 million. The working capital deficit was mainly due to loans from related parties, which will not be required by the related parties to repay within one year after the filing date. Our net cash provided by operating activities amounted to approximately $3.2 million and $3.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. We have historically funded our working capital needs primarily from operations, bank loans and contributions by shareholders. Our working capital requirements are affected by the efficiency of our operations, the numerical volume and dollar value of our revenue contracts, the progress or performance on our customer contracts, and the timing of accounts receivable collections. Our management believes that current levels of cash and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the 12 months following the date of this prospectus.
The following summarizes the key components of our cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Trend Information
Other than as described elsewhere in this prospectus, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our revenue, income from continuing operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause our reported financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures aboutMarket Risk
Inflation Risk
Inflationary factors, such as increases in personnel and overhead costs, could impair the Company’s operating results. Although the Company does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on its financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to maintain current levels of operating expense as a percentage of sales revenue if the revenues do not increase.
Credit Risk
Assets that potentially subject the Group to a significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and other current assets. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amounts at the balance sheet dates. As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the aggregate amount of cash of $4,715,100 and $3,411,646, respectively, was held at major financial institutions in Singapore. The Group believes that no significant credit risk exists as all of the Group’s cash are held with financial institutions in Singapore of high credit quality. Deposits are insured by the Singapore Deposit Insurance Corporation, for up to 100,000 Singapore Dollar (approximately $73,000) in aggregate per depositor. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s uninsured cash balance was approximately $4,761,823. The Group conducts credit evaluations of its customers and suppliers, and generally does not require collateral or other security from them. The Group establishes an accounting policy to provide for allowance for credit loss based on the individual customer’s and supplier’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest expenses on our long-term loan. Our long-term loan bears interest at variable rate. Our future interest expenses may exceed expectations due to changes in market interest rates. Increased interest rates may have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition. Historically, we incurred total interest expense of $1.2 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Decreased interest rates will have a direct impact on us by decreasing our interest expenses and in turn increasing our cash. As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately total $3.7 million of long-term loan. In addition, as increased interest rates would make it more costly for us to fund our operations by borrowing, we would need to take additional measures to maintain a healthy cash flow, such as by tightening our control over accounts payable and accounts receivable. We may do so by, for example, further negotiating credit terms with customers and suppliers. As a result, our accounts receivable may decrease and our accounts payable may increase to offset the impact of higher borrowing costs.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As defined in the standards established by the PCAOB, a “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements included in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified one material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. The material weaknesses identified relate to our lack of sufficient competent financial reporting and accounting personnel with appropriate understanding of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting requirements set forth by the SEC to design and implement key controls over financial reporting process to address complex U.S. GAAP accounting issues and related disclosures, in accordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting requirements.
9
Neither we nor our independent registered public accounting firm undertook a comprehensive assessment of our internal controls under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for purposes of identifying and reporting any weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. Had we performed a formal assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or had our independent registered public accounting firm performed an audit of our internal control over financial reporting, additional material weaknesses or internal control deficiencies may have been identified.
To remediate our identified material weakness, we plan to adopt measures to improve our internal controls over financial reporting, including, among others: (i) hiring additional qualified accounting and financial personnel with appropriate knowledge and experience in U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements and (ii) organizing regular training for our accounting staff, especially training related to U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements. However, the implementation of these measures may not fully address these deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting, and we cannot conclude that they have been fully remediated. Our failure to correct these deficiencies or failure to discover and address any other deficiencies could result in inaccuracies in our financial statements and impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis. Moreover, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could significantly hinder our ability to prevent fraud.
Critical Accounting Estimates
In preparing our unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements we have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Accounting estimates are deemed critical if they involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Below is a summary of the critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements. A summary of our significant accounting policies which are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations is set forth in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed and consolidated financial statements included in this filing.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Vessels, net, right-of-use asset-operating lease, net and other long-lived assets held and used are reviewed periodically for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular asset may not be fully recoverable. If this review determines that the amount recorded will not be recovered, the amount recorded for the asset group is reduced to its estimated fair value. These asset impairment analyses are highly subjective because they require management to make assumptions and apply considerable judgments to, among other things, estimates of the timing and amount of future cash flows, expected useful lives of the assets, potential impact of future events, including changes in economic conditions and operating performance, and future costs of maintenance and improvements of the assets. If management uses different assumptions or if different conditions occur in future periods, the Company’s financial condition or its future operating results could be materially impacted. As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Group concluded that events and circumstances did not trigger the existence of potential impairment of its vessels and other long-lived assets and that step one of the impairment analyses was not required.

INTERCONT (CAYMAN) LIMITEDNOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Expressed in U.S. Dollars — except for share data)
Note 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESSDESCRIPTION
Intercont (Cayman) Limited (“Intercont” or the “Company”) was established under the laws of the Cayman Islands on July 4, 2023 as a holding company. The Company, through its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) listed below, are principally engaged time charter service and vessel management services business.
Upon completion of the Reorganization, the Company’s subsidiaries are as follows:
| Subsidiaries | Date of Incorporation | Jurisdiction of Formation | Percentage of direct/indirect Economic Ownership | Principal Activities |
|---|
| Fortune Ocean Holdings Limited (“Fortune Ocean”) | January 22, 2024 | British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) | 100% | Investment Holding |
| Top Wisdom Shipping Management Co., Limited (“Top Wisdom”) | February 1, 2013 | Hong Kong | 100% | Vessel management services |
| Top Moral Shipping Limited (“Top Moral”) | December 12, 2013 | Hong Kong | 100% | Time charter service |
| Top Legend Shipping Co., Limited (“Top Legend”) | March 6, 2013 | Hong Kong | 100% | Time charter service |
| Top Creation International (HK) Limited (“Top Creation”) | July 29, 2011 | Hong Kong | 100% | Time charter service |
| Max Bright Marine Service Co., Limited (“Max Bright”) | April 2, 2014 | Hong Kong | 100% | Time charter service |
| Singapore Openwindow Technology Pte. Ltd. (“Openwindow”) | July 28, 2023 | Singapore | 100% | Process of pulp, paper and paperboard |
As described below, the Company, through a series of transactions which is accounted for as a reorganization of entities under a common control (the “Reorganization”), became the ultimate parent of its subsidiaries.
Reorganization
A reorganization of the legal structure was completed on March 27, 2024. The reorganization involved:
| (i) | The formation of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary-Openwindow<br>on July 28, 2023 |
|---|---|
| (ii) | The formation of Fortune Ocean on January 22, 2024 and<br>all the equity interests of Top Wisdom, Top Moral, Top Legend, Top Creation and Max Bright were transferred to Fortune Ocean on March 14,<br>2024 |
| --- | --- |
| (iii) | All the shareholders’ equity interests in Fortune Ocean<br>were transferred to the Company on March 27, 2024 under common control and at nominal consideration |
| --- | --- |
Immediately before and after the reorganization, the Company, together with its subsidiaries, is effectively controlled by the same group of the shareholders. Therefore the reorganization is considered as a recapitalization of entities under common control in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50-25. The combination and consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries have been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 805-50-45-5.

Note 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESSDESCRIPTION (cont.)
Going concern consideration
In assessing its liquidity, the Group monitors and analyzes its cash on hand, ability to generate sufficient revenue sources in the future and operating and capital expenditure commitments. As of December 31, 2024, the Group had cash of approximately $4,905,206. As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Group’s working capital deficit was approximately $29,759,984 and $30,294,954.
The Group has historically funded its working capital needs primarily from operations, loans, advance payments from customers and contributions by shareholders. Its working capital requirements are affected by the efficiency of operations, the numerical volume and dollar value of revenue contracts and the timing of accounts receivable collections. The going concern status of the Company depends on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations in a timely manner and to obtain additional income or debt as may be required and/or recurring financial support from shareholders or other related parties. The Group’s primary shareholders have agreed to provide financial support commitment to the Company until October 31, 2026. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5,614,273. As a result, management believes that current levels of cash and cash flows will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months from the date of the issuance of this report. However, the Group may need additional cash resources in the future if it experiences changed business conditions or other developments and may also need additional cash resources in the future if it wishes to pursue opportunities for investment, acquisition, strategic cooperation or other similar actions. If the Group determine that the cash requirements exceed amounts of cash on hand, it may seek to issue debt or equity securities or obtain a credit facility.
Taking into account the ability for the Group to raise finances, the management has alleviated the doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Note 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANTACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Principles of combination
As the reorganization in Note 1 (“the Reorganization”) was accounted for as restructuring of entities under common control, the accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements have been prepared by using historical cost basis and include the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows that were directly attributable to these entities for all periods presented. The financial statements presented herein represent (1) up until the date of the consummation of the Reorganization, the unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements of the Company, Fortune Ocean, Top Wisdom, Top Moral, Top Legend, Top Creation, Max bright and Openwindow; (2) subsequent to the consummation of the Reorganization, the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Emerging Growth Company
The Group is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Note 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANTACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to optout is irrevocable. The Group has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Group, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Group’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Uses of estimates
In preparing the unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information as of the date of the unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements. Significant accounting estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets and salvage value of the owned vessels. The Group evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and its estimates on historical experience, current and expected future conditions and various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances based on the information available to management at the time these estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results and outcomes may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the Group is the U.S. dollar. The Group engages in international commerce with a variety of entities. Although its operations may expose it to certain levels of foreign currency risk, its transactions are predominantly U.S. dollar denominated and majority of the subsidiaries’ primary cash flows are U.S. dollar denominated. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of each transaction. Differences in exchange rates during the period between the date a transaction denominated in a foreign currency is consummated and the date on which it is either settled or translated, are recognized in the unaudited condensed combined and consolidated statements of income.
Fair value of financial instruments
ASC 825-10 requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
| ● | Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology<br>are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
|---|---|
| ● | Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology<br>include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets<br>that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market<br>data. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology<br>are unobservable. |

Note 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANTACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Group’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepayment and other assets, due from related parties, accounts payable, advance from customers, due to related parties, accrued expenses and current maturity of long-term loan approximates their recorded values. The Group determined that the carrying value of the long-term of loans approximated their fair value by comparing the stated loan interest rate to the rate charged by similar financial institutions.
Cash
Cash comprises cash at banks and on hand, which includes deposits with original maturities of three months or less with commercial banks.
Expected credit losses of receivables
The Group’s accounts receivable, other receivables (included in “prepayments and other current assets”) and due from related parties are within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326. To estimate current expected credit losses, the Group has identified the relevant risk characteristics of its customers and the related receivables and other receivables which include size, type of the services the Group provides, or a combination of these characteristics. Receivables with similar risk characteristics have been grouped into pools. For each pool, the Group considers the past collection experience, any changes in customer collection trends, the credit worthiness of customers, the contractual and customary payment terms that generally range from 30 to 180 days, current economic conditions, and expectation of future economic conditions (external data and macroeconomic factors). Receivable balances are written off (i.e., charged-off against the allowance) when they are determined to be uncollectible after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Group recorded current expected credit loss expense for accounts receivable amounted to nil for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Prepayments and other assets primarily consist of lease deposit, and employee advance, which are presented net of allowance for credit loss. These balances are unsecured and are reviewed periodically to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Group considers the balances to be impaired if the collectability of the balances becomes doubtful. The Group uses the loss-rate method to estimate the allowance for credit losses. The Group considers the past collection experience, any changes in collection trends, the credit worthiness of counter-parties, the contractual terms, current economic conditions, and expectation of future economic conditions. Actual amounts received or utilized may differ from management’s estimate of credit worthiness and the economic environment. Delinquent account balances are written off against allowance for credit losses after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. For the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Group recorded current expected credit loss expense for prepayments and other assets amounted to nil.
Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to amortize the cost of the related assets over their useful lives using the straight-line method, as follows:
| Useful life |
|---|
| Office and electronic equipment | 3 years |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the unaudited condensed combined and consolidated statements of income in other income or expenses. Depreciation expense was $782 and $807 for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANTACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
Vessels, net
Vessels are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment adjustments, if any. The depreciation on vessels is reviewed annually to ensure that the method and period used reflect the pattern in which the asset’s future economic benefits are expected to be consumed. The gross carrying amount of the vessel is the purchase price, including duties/taxes, borrowing costs and any other direct costs attributable to bringing it to the location and condition necessary for the vessels intended use. Capitalization of costs will cease once the vessel is in the location and condition necessary for it to be able to operate in the manner consistent with its intended design. Subsequent expenditures for conversions and major improvements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of a vessel; otherwise these amounts are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of a vessel, after considering the estimated salvage value. Each vessel’s salvage value is equal to the product of its lightweight tonnage and estimated scrap rate. Salvage values are periodically reviewed and revised, if needed, to recognize changes in conditions, new regulations or for other reasons. Revisions of salvage value affect the depreciable amount of the vessels and affect depreciation expense in the period of the revision and future periods. Management estimates the useful life of its vessels to be 10 – 25 years from the date of their initial delivery from the shipyard.
Vessels under financing leases are also included in this caption on the unaudited condensed combined and consolidated balance sheet.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Vessels, net, right-of-use asset-operating lease, net and other long-lived assets held and used are reviewed periodically for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular asset may not be fully recoverable. The Group evaluates the carrying amounts and periods over which long-lived assets are depreciated to determine if events or changes in circumstances have occurred that would require modification to their carrying values or useful lives. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset. The Group determines the fair value of its assets on the basis of management estimates and assumptions by making use of available market data and taking into consideration third party valuations performed on an individual vessel basis. In evaluating useful lives and carrying values of long-lived assets, certain indicators of potential impairment, are reviewed such as undiscounted projected operating cash flows, vessel market price, gross profit margin and overall market conditions.
Undiscounted projected net operating cash flows are determined for each asset group and compared to the carrying value of the vessel, the unamortized portion of deferred drydock and other capitalized items, if any, related to the vessel. The Group has considered various indicators, including but not limited to, the market price of its long-lived assets, its contracted revenues and cash flows and the economic outlook.
As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Group concluded that events and circumstances did not trigger the existence of potential impairment of its vessels and other long-lived assets and that step one of the impairment analyses was not required.
Deferred dry docking cost, net
Vessels are subject to regularly scheduled drydocking and special surveys which are generally carried out every 60 months, depending on the vessels’ ages to coincide with the renewal of the related certificates issued by the classification societies, unless a further extension is obtained in rare cases and under certain conditions. The cost of drydocking and special surveys are deferred and amortized over the above periods or to the next drydocking or special survey date if such date has been determined.
Deferred IPO costs
Deferred initial public offering (“IPO”) costs consist of underwriting, legal and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the IPO and was charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the offering. As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the deferred IPO costs were $1,042,023 and $287,835, respectively.

INTERCONT (CAYMAN) LIMITEDNOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Expressed in U.S. Dollars — except for share data)
Note 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANTACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
Costs capitalized as part of the drydocking consist principally of the actual costs incurred at the yard, and expenses relating to spare parts, paints, lubricants and services incurred solely during the drydocking or special survey period. As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the deferred dry-docking cost, net was $822,550 and $959,924, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the amortization expense for the deferred drydock costs amounted to $137,375 and $122,829, respectively. These numbers are reflected in the deferred dry dock cost, net on the unaudited condensed combined and consolidated balance sheet and amortization of dry-docking on unaudited condensed combined and consolidated statements of cash flows.
Revenue recognition
The Group is engaged in vessels rental and management services and primarily derives its revenue from time charter contracts and provides vessel management service.
On July 1, 2019, the Group has adopted Accounting Standards Codification (shorted as “ASC” hereafter) 842 “Leases” and Accounting Standard Update (shorted as “ASU” hereafter) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) and all subsequent ASUs that modified ASC 606 using the modified retrospective approach. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, the Group applies the following steps:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Time charter revenue
A time charter is a type of contract that is entered into for the use of such vessel as well as such vessel’s operations for a specific period of time at a specified daily charter hire rate. Charter durations may range from one month to two years. The Group accounts for its time charter contracts as operating leases pursuant to ASC 842 “Leases”. The Group has determined that the non-lease component in its time charter contracts relates to services for the operation of the vessel, which comprise of crew, technical and safety services, among others. The Group further elected to adopt the above discussed optional practical expedient and recognize lease revenue as a combined single lease component for all time charter contracts (operating leases) since it made a determination that the related lease component and non-lease component have the same timing and pattern of transfer during lease term of each vessel and the predominant component is the lease. Lease revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the rental periods of such charter agreements, as rental service is provided, beginning when a vessel is delivered to the charterer until it is redelivered back to the Group, and is recorded as time charter revenues.
Vessel operating costs incurred during the leasing period for the maintenance and operation of the vessels such as for crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the Group are expensed as incurred as the timing and pattern of transfer of the components are identical to the operating lease revenue earned from the charter hire.

Note 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANTACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
Vessel management services revenue
The Group contracts with various customers to carry out vessel management services. Vessel management services consists of assignment of the Group’s crew team member to the customers’ vessels for their operation and provision of dry-docking, lubricating oil, spare parts procurement and other maintenance services over the contract term. Most of the vessel management services agreements have a term more than one year and are typically billed on a monthly basis. The Group provides the services to the customer and satisfies its performance obligation over the term of the contract. The progress of transferring the service is measured based on monthly bill issued and therefore recognized vessel management services revenue is recognized based on monthly bill over the term of the contract.
Disaggregation of Revenues
For the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the disaggregated revenues by revenue streams were as follows:
| For the Six Months ended <br> December 31, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |||
| Time charter revenue | $ | 9,977,858 | $ | 9,446,414 |
| Vessel management services revenue | 3,408,509 | 2,925,735 | ||
| Total | $ | 13,386,367 | $ | 12,372,149 |
For the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the disaggregated revenues by customer location were as follows:
| For the Six Months ended <br> December 31, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |||
| Singapore | $ | 10,047,638 | $ | 5,143,724 |

| BVI | — | 3,367,004 | ||
| Other countries | 1,429,265 | 1,977,691 | ||
| Total | $ | 13,386,367 | $ | 12,372,149 |
A contract liability exists when the Group has received consideration prior to it being earned. These amounts are recognized as revenue over the charter period. As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the contract liabilities amounted to nil. All contract liabilities as of June 30, 2024 have been recognized as revenue in the next month. All contract liabilities as of December 31, 2024 have been recognized as revenue in January 2025.
Leases
The Group has lease contracts for vessels and office space. Leases are classified as either operating leases or finance leases, based on an assessment of the terms of the lease. The Group records lease liabilities and right-of-use assets on its unaudited condensed combined and consolidated balance sheets at lease commencement. The Group measures its lease liabilities based on the present value of the total lease payments not yet paid discounted based on the more readily determinable of the rate implicit in the lease or its incremental borrowing rate, which is the estimated rate the Group would be required to pay for a collateralized borrowing equal to the total lease payments over the term of the lease. The Group estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on an analysis of weighted average interest rate of its own bank loan. The Group measures right-of-use assets based on the corresponding lease liability adjusted for payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, and initial direct costs it incurs under the lease. The Group begins recognizing lease expense when the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the Group.
For leases with a lease term not more than one year and without a purchase option (short-term leases), the Group records operating lease expense in its unaudited condensed combined and consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term and record variable lease payments as incurred.

Note 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANTACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
Income taxes
The Group accounts for current income taxes in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. Deferred income taxes are recognized when temporary differences exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. 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.
An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred.
Related parties
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or significant influence, such as a family member or relative, shareholder, or a related corporation.

The Group computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Diluted presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential ordinary shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential ordinary shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. For the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 25,000,001 and 24,499,999 basic and dilutive shares, respectively.
Segment reporting
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Group’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for details on the Group’s business segments. The Group uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Group’s CODM for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Group’s reportable segments. The Chief Executive Officer is identified as the chief operating decision maker (CODM). The management, including the chief operating decision maker, measures performance based on our overall return to shareholders based on combined net income. Although separate vessel financial information is available, the CODM internally evaluates the performance of the Group as a whole and not on the basis of separate business units, as a result, the Group has determined that it operates as one reportable segment.
The CODM does not review segment assets and segment expenses at a level different than what is reported in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Combined and Consolidated Balance Sheets and Unaudited Condensed Combined and Consolidated Statements of Income. Additionally, the CODM regularly receives information about the Company's capital expenditures which are reported in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Combined and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as purchase of long-lived assets under investing activities.
Additionally, other segment items include research and development expenses related to seaborne innovational business with current research direction of seaborne pulping for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
During the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, all revenue is generated outside of the United States. For disaggregated revenues by revenue streams and customer location, please see Revenue Recognition above.
The Company’s long-lived assets consist primarily of vessels and property and equipment, all of which are located in outside of the United States.

Note 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANTACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
Concentrations of risks
a. Concentration of credit risk
Assets that potentially subject the Group to a significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and other current assets. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amounts at the balance sheet dates. As of December 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024, the aggregate amount of cash of $4,715,100 and $3,411,646, respectively, was held at major financial institutions in Singapore. The Group believes that no significant credit risk exists as all of the Group’s cash are held with financial institutions in Singapore of high credit quality. Deposits are insured by the Singapore Deposit Insurance Corporation, for up to 100,000 Singapore Dollar (approximately $73,000) in aggregate per depositor. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s uninsured cash balance was approximately $4,761,823. The Group conducts credit evaluations of its customers and suppliers, and generally does not require collateral or other security from them. The Group establishes an accounting policy to provide for allowance for credit loss based on the individual customer’s and supplier’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions.
b. Significant customers
For the six months ended December 31, 2024, Customer A (Topsheen Shipping Singapore Pte. Ltd., a related party) and Customer C accounted for approximately 70% and 11%, respectively, of the Group’s total revenues. For the six months ended December 31, 2023, Customer A (Topsheen Shipping Singapore Pte. Ltd., a related party) and Customer B accounted for approximately 42% and 27%, respectively, of the Group’s total revenues. As of December 31, 2024, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Group’s accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2024, Customer C accounted for approximately 100% of the Group’s accounts receivable.
c. Significant suppliers
For the six months ended December 31, 2024, Supplier A accounted for approximately 17% of the Group’s total cost of revenues, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2023, Supplier A accounted for approximately 13% of the Group’s total cost of revenues, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, no supplier accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total accounts payable. As of June 30, 2024, no supplier accounted for more than 10% of the Group’s total accounts payable.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Group considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes. It removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Group’s unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). This ASU requires that public business entities must annually “(1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate).” A public entity should apply the amendments in ASU 2023-09 prospectively to all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Group is currently evaluating these new disclosure requirements and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. This ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in the update and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 as of July 1, 2024. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Group’s unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANTACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements — Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. The amendments in ASU 2024-02 contain amendments to the Codification that remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements. Following the release of ASU 2024-02 in March 2024, the effective date will be annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Group is currently evaluating these new disclosure requirements and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact.
The Group does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Group’s unaudited condensed combined and consolidation financial statements.

Note 7 — Leases
Operating lease
In February, 2021, the Group took delivery of the Top Advancer, a 2016-built bulk carrier for a 59-month bareboat charter-in agreement. No purchase option or obligation clause is stipulated in the bareboat charter contract. The Group has performed an assessment considering the lease classification criteria under ASC 842 and concluded that the arrangement is an operating lease. Consequently, the Group has recognized an operating lease liability based on the net present value of the remaining charter-in payments based on rate at the lease commencement and an operating lease right-of-use asset at an amount equal to the operating liability adjusted for the carrying amount of the straight-line liability. Any changes resulted from the index or rate change is charged to expense during the period they occur.
