40 “Derivatives and Hedging”, the Company determined that the contingent consideration for acquisition should classified as a liability as it does not consider indexed to the Company’s stock. As a result, the contingent consideration for acquisition shall be measured initially, and subsequently at fair value on each reporting date. The Company will continue to adjust the carrying value of the contingent consideration for acquisitions until contingency is finally determined. Any changes in fair value will be recorded as a gain or loss in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Contingent consideration for acquisition was valued at the time of acquisitions and each of the financial statement date, using unobservable inputs and discounted cash flow methodology. The determination of the fair value is based on discounted cash flows, the key assumptions include the probability of meeting each performance target and the discount factor. Convertible notes and derivative liabilities The Company accounts for convertible notes in accordance with ASC 470, Debt, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Convertible notes that contain embedded features—such as conversion rights, bonus shares, top-up shares, or other contingent settlement provisions—are evaluated to determine whether the features require bifurcation and separate accounting. If the embedded features do not meet the criteria for separate accounting but result in the instrument being accounted for as a hybrid financial instrument, the Company applies the fair value option and measures the entire convertible note at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized as a gain or loss in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) until conversion. Embedded features that are not clearly and closely related to the host instrument and do not qualify for equity classification are accounted for as derivative liabilities. These derivative liabilities are measured at fair value upon initial recognition and remeasured at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) until the instruments are settled. Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, where equity interests are determined to be conditionally redeemable upon the occurrence of certain events that are not solely within the control of the Group, and upon such event, the shares would become redeemable at the option of the holders, they are classified as mezzanine equity (temporary equity).
