NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
High-Trend International Group (the “Company”), formerly known as Caravelle International Group, and its subsidiaries (together the “Group”) is an international operator of ocean transportation services. It is engaged in seaborne transportation services under voyage contracts as well as vessels services for and on behalf of ship owners. The Company, a Cayman Islands exempted company, was formed on February 28, 2022 to serve as a holding company. On January 3, 2025, the annual general meeting of shareholders approved the Company’s name change from “Caravelle International Group” to “High-Trend International Group”.
Reverse Recapitalization
On April 5, 2022, Pacifico Acquisition Corp. (“Pacifico”) entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger which was amended by the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “SPAC Transaction”) dated August 15, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Caravelle Group Co., Ltd (“Caravelle Group”), Pacifico International Group, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub 1”), Pacifico Merger Sub 2 Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub 2” and, together with the Company and Merger Sub 1, each, individually, an “Acquisition Entity” and, collectively, the “Acquisition Entities”), and Caravelle Group.
On December 16, 2022, the SPAC Transaction was completed and the Company became a publicly traded holding company listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and Caravelle Group became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The SPAC Transaction was completed through a two-step process as follows:
(Step 1) Merger Sub 1 merged with and into Caravelle Group (the “Initial Merger”), and Caravelle Group was the surviving corporation of the Initial Merger and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and
(Step 2) following confirmation of the effectiveness of the Initial Merger, Merger Sub 2 merged with and into Pacifico (the “SPAC Merger” and together with the Initial Merger, the “Merger”), and Pacifico was the surviving corporation of the SPAC Merger and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “SPAC Transaction” or “reverse merger”).
As a result of the SPAC Transaction, among other
things, (i) all outstanding Ordinary Shares of Caravelle Group were cancelled in exchange for
Caravelle Group was determined to be the accounting acquirer given that the original shareholders of Caravelle Group effectively controlled the combined entity after the Transaction. Pacifico is treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based on the fact that subsequent to the SPAC Transaction, the Caravelle Group’s shareholders held a majority of the voting power of the combined company, Caravelle Group’s business comprised all of the ongoing operations of the combined entity, Caravelle Group comprised a majority of the governing body of the combined company, and Caravelle Group’s senior management comprised all of the senior management of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the SPAC Transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, which is equivalent to the issuance of shares by the Company for the net assets of Pacifico, accompanied by a recapitalization. Caravelle Group was determined to be the predecessor, and the historical financial statements of Caravelle Group became the Company’s historical financial statements, with retrospective adjustments to give effect of the reverse recapitalization. The share and per share data is retrospectively restated to give effect to the reverse recapitalization. Net assets of Pacifico were stated at historical costs. No goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded. Operations prior to the SPAC Transaction were those of the Caravelle Group.

Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. 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 April 30, 2025 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The information included in this interim report should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Group’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.
Principles of consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.
A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power, has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.
Non-controlling interest represents the portion of the net assets of subsidiaries attributable to interests that are not owned by the Company. The non-controlling interest is presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, separately from equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company. The operating results of the non-controlling interests is presented on the face of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as an allocation of the total income for the year between non-controlling shareholders and the shareholders of the Group. As of April 30, 2025 and October 31, 2024, non-controlling interests represent non-controlling shareholders’ proportionate share of equity interests in Topsheen Shipping Group Corporation and Topsheen Shipping Singapore Pte. Ltd.

Note 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reclassification
During the period, the Company separated deferred compensation expense from prepayments, prepaid expenses and other assets and comparative amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss were restated for consistency.
Foreign currency translation
The Group follows U.S. GAAP for both the translation and remeasurement of balance sheet and income statement items into U.S. Dollars. For those business units that operate in a local currency functional environment, all assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the end of the period; revenue and expenses are translated using average exchange rates in effect during each period. Resulting translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of accumulated comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. For those business units that operate in a U.S. Dollar functional environment, foreign currency assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the end of the period except for nonmonetary assets and capital accounts, which are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are generally translated at monthly exchange rates which approximate average exchange rates in effect during each year, except for those expenses related to balance sheet amounts that are remeasured at historical exchange rates. For the six months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, all the Group’s functional currency is the U.S. Dollar.
Uses of estimates
In preparing the 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 consolidated financial statements. Significant accounting estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to revenue recognition, the allowance for credit losses of accounts receivable, useful lives and assessment for impairment of long-lived assets, fair value of the convertible notes and warrants well as share-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable is recognized and carried at original invoiced amount less an estimated allowance for credit losses. Most accounts receivable are collected within one month. On November 1, 2022, the Group adopted ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” Topic 326): Measurement on Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, including certain subsequent amendments, transitional guidance and other interpretive guidance within ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-11, ASU 2020-02 and ASU 2020-03 (collectively, including ASU 2016-13, “ASC 326”). ASC 326 introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts, which replaces the previous incurred loss impairment model. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s estimation of allowance for credit losses considers factors such as historical credit loss experience, age of receivable balances, current market conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, as well as an assessment of receivables due from specific identifiable counterparties to determine whether these receivables are considered at risk or uncollectible. The Company evaluates its accounts receivable for expected credit losses on a regular basis. The Group maintains an estimated allowance for credit losses to reduce its accounts receivable to the amount that it believes will be collected. The Company considers factors in assessing the collectability of its receivables, such as the age of the amounts due, the customer’s payment history, credit-worthiness and other specific circumstances related to the accounts. The Group adjusts the allowance percentage periodically when there are significant differences between estimated bad debts and actual bad debts. If there is strong evidence indicating that the accounts receivable is likely to be unrecoverable, the Company also makes specific allowance in the period in which a loss is determined to be probable. No allowance was recorded as of April 30, 2025 and October 31, 2024, respectively.
Prepayments, prepaid expenses and other assets
Prepayments, prepaid expenses and other assets primarily consist of prepayments for fuel and other costs, prepayments for keyman insurance and advances to employees, which are presented net of allowance for credit losses. These balances are unsecured and are reviewed periodically to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired.

Note 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | |
| ● | Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. | |
| ● | Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable. |
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, prepayments, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payables, balances with related parties, and other current liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of long-term loans approximate fair values as the related interest rates currently offered by financial institutions for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities.
Revenue recognition
The Group is an international operator of comprehensive ocean transportation service. On November 1, 2019, the Group adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 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
The Group primarily derives its freight revenue from voyage contracts and provides vessel services.
In accordance with ASC 606, the Group evaluates whether our businesses themselves promise to transfer services to the customer (as the principal) or to arrange for services to be provided by another party (as the agent) using a control model. Based on the evaluation of the control model, the Group determined that the Group is the principal to the transaction for voyage contracts and the related revenue from voyage contracts is recognized on a gross basis based on the transfer of control to the customer. The Group’s vessel service contracts engage in certain transactions wherein the Group act as an agent of ship owners. Revenue from these transactions is recorded on a net basis. Net revenue includes billings to customers less third-party charges, including transportation or handling costs, fees, commissions and taxes and duties.

Revenue recognition (continued)
Revenue from voyage contracts
Under a voyage contract, the Group is engaged to provide the transportation of cargo between specific ports in return for ocean freight payment of an agreed upon freight per ton of cargo. The Group’s voyage contracts generally do not contain cancelable provisions. A voyage was deemed to commence when a vessel was available for loading and was deemed to end upon the completion of the discharge of the current cargo. For the voyage contracts, the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group performance over the voyage period because of the continuous service to the customer. Customers receive the benefit of our services as the goods are transported from one location to another. If the Group was unable to complete delivery to the final location, another entity would not need to reperform the transportation service already performed. As control transfers over time, the Group recognizes revenue ratably from port of loading to when the charterer’s cargo is discharged based on the relative transit time completed in each reporting period. For the unfinished voyages, the Group estimates the percentage of completion based on voyage days completed and total estimated voyage days. Estimated losses on voyages are provided for in full at the time such losses become evident. Voyage expense and other ocean transportation operating costs are charged to operating costs as incurred.
Revenue from vessel services
The Group contracts with various customers to carry out vessel services for vessels as agents for and on behalf of ship owners. These services include lease of vessels on behalf of the ship owners and commercial management. As the operator of the vessels, the Group undertakes to use its best endeavors to provide the agreed vessel services as agents for and on behalf of the ship owners and to protect and promote the interest of the ship owners in all matters relating to the provision of services. Most of the vessel service agreements span within one year and are typically billed on a monthly basis. The Vessel service revenue is recorded on a net basis. Net revenue includes billings to customers, net of voyage operating expenses incurred. The Group transfers control of the service to the customer and satisfies its performance obligation over the term of the contract, and therefore recognized revenue over the term of the contract.
Revenue from others
Starting in March 2025, the Group provides consulting services related to shipboard exhaust gases capture technologies. The Group transfers control of the service to the customer and satisfies its performance obligation over the term of the contract, and therefore recognizes revenue ratably over the term of the contract using the straightly line method.
Contract balances
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from
the timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable represents amounts invoiced and revenues recognized prior to invoicing when
the Group has satisfied the Group’s performance obligation and has the unconditional rights to payment. The balances of accounts
receivable were $

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 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.
Loss per share
The Group computes earnings (loss) 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 common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common 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 issuances of 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 April 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no dilutive securities.
Related parties
Related parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company 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. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence, such as a family member or relative, shareholder, or a related corporation.

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 November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. This ASU will result in additional required disclosures when adopted, where applicable. The Group is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its financial-statements and does not expect the adoption of ASU-2023-07 will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. Once adopted, this ASU will result in additional disclosures.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards” (“ASU 2024-01”), which intends to improve clarity and operability without changing the existing guidance. ASU 2024-01 provides an illustrative example intended to demonstrate how entities that account for profits interest and similar awards would determine whether a profits interest award should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718. Entities can apply the guidance either retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements or prospectively to profits interest and similar awards granted or modified on or after the date of adoption. ASU 2024-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Group is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220-40): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”). This update requires, among other things, more detailed disclosure about types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative expenses, and is intended to improve the disclosures about an entity’s expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The FASB issued ASU 2024-03 on November 4, 2024. ASU 2024-03 states that the amendments are effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Following the issuance of ASU 2024-03, the FASB was asked to clarify the initial effective date for entities that do not have an annual reporting period that ends on December 31 (referred to as non-calendar year-end entities). Because of how the effective date guidance was written, a non-calendar year-end entity may have concluded that it would be required to initially adopt the disclosure requirements in ASU 2024-03 in an interim reporting period, rather than in an annual reporting period. he FASB’s intent in the basis for conclusions of ASU 2024-03 is clear that all public business entities should initially adopt the disclosure requirements in the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
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 consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and statements of cash flows.
