REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Gravitas Education Holdings Inc.

Opinion on the Combined Carve-out Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying combined carve-out balance sheets of Gravitas Education Holdings Inc.'s ("GEHI", or the "Company") Singapore Operations as of December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the related combined carve-out statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 , and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "combined carve-out financial statements"). In our opinion, the combined carve-out financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GEHI's Singapore Operations as of December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These combined carve-out financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's combined carve-out financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined carve-out financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the combined carve-out financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the combined carve-out financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined carve-out financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

As discussed in Note 2 the combined carve-out financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 have been derived from the financial statements of Gravitas Education Holdings, Inc. to reflect of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of GEHI's Singapore Operations that will be merged with NetDragon Websoft Holdings Limited. The assumptions underlying the combined carve-out financial statements, including the assumptions regarding allocated expenses, reasonably reflect the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by GEHI's Singapore Operations that will be merged with NetDragon Websoft Holdings Limited during the periods presented. However, due to the inherent limitations of carving out the operations, these combined carve-out financial statements may not necessarily reflect the company's financial position, results of operations and cash flow for future periods, nor do they necessarily reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flow that would have been realized had the company been a stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Our Opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is matter arising from the current period audit of the combined carve-out financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the combined carve-out financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the combined carve-out financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical

audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate

Impairment assessment on goodwill

Critical Audit Matter Description

As described in Note 2 and Note 7 to the combined carve-out financial statements, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Company recorded nil, nil and $19.2 million impairment loss, respectively, to reduce the fair value of goodwill for the reporting unit of Global Eduhub Holding Limited. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. The Company used a discounted cash flow methodology when determining the fair value of the reporting unit. The discounted cash flow analysis requires significant estimates, including projections of future operating results and cash flows of the reporting unit that are based on internal budgets and strategic plans, expected long-term growth rates, terminal values, weighted average cost of capital and the effects of external factors and market conditions. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value of the reporting unit, the amount of any goodwill impairment charge, or both, which could be material to the Company's Singapore Operations' financial position and results of operations.

Performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management's estimates and assumptions related to the projected future cash flows and the selection of the discount rate required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve fair value specialists. We identified the goodwill impairment assessment as a critical audit matter.

How the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the projected future cash flows and selection of the discount rate used by management to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit included the following, among others:

●	We made inquiries of management to understand significant assumptions used in the projected future cash flows, and we evaluated management's ability to accurately project future cash flows by comparing actual results to management's historical projections.

●	We evaluated the reasonableness of management's projected future cash flows by comparing the projections to actual results, for respective net revenue, cost of revenues and other elements, which comprise projected future cash flows of the reporting unit.

●

We evaluated the reasonableness of management's significant assumptions including but not limited to the revenue growth rate, which could have a significant impact on the fair value of the reporting unit, by comparing the revenue growth rates to expected market growth rate based on industry information.

●	With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation methodology and selected discount rate by:

-	Examining whether the valuation methodology used, including the one to determine the discount rate was consistent with existing valuation practices that are both generally accepted in practice and recognized as appropriate in similar circumstances.

-	Testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rate and the mathematical accuracy of the calculation.

-	Developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rate selected by management.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The combined carve-out financial statements have been prepared for the purpose of presenting the balance sheet, statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows of GEHI and GEH on a combined basis.All of the assets and liabilities presented are recorded at carrying value. All intercompany balances, transactions, revenues and expenses have been eliminated. As of December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, there was amount due from PRC business totaling $47,096, $50,135and $53,981, respectively, which will be forgiven after the Disposal. The forgiven amounts represent GEHI's investment in PRC business and are accounted for as equity transaction in the combined carve-out financial statements. For all periods, the Company's combined carve-out financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

The accompanying combined carve-out financial statements present the historical financial position, results of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows of the Company and GEH, excluding the PRC portion of the Company's business as it was historically conducted, as more fully described below.

The combined carve-out statements of comprehensive income reflect direct revenues and expenses of GEH and allocations of indirect expenses related to certain support functions that are provided on a centralized basis by GEHI. These corporate costs have been allocated to GEH on the basis of direct usage where identifiable, with the remainder allocated based on management's best estimate of costs attributable to GEH. This allocation has been completed based on the following general process:

•Compensation: Certain compensation costs in GEHI's financial records have been allocated to the combined carve-out financial statements based on GEH's revenue as a percentage of the total revenue of the Group before the Disposal.

•General, administrative and other expenses: Certain general, administrative and other expenses have been allocated to the combined carve-out financial statements based on GEH's revenue as a percentage of the total revenue of the Group before the Disposal.

Management believes the assumptions underlying the combined carve-out financial statements, including the assumptions regarding allocated expenses, reasonably reflect the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by GEH during the periods presented. However, due to the inherent limitations of carving out the operations from the Group, these combined carve-out financial statements may not necessarily reflect the company's financial position, results of operations and cash flow for future periods, nor do they necessarily reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flow that would have been realized had the company been a stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

The accompanying combined carve-out financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The combined carve-out financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out below.

Use of estimates

The preparation of combined carve-out financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the Group's combined carve-out financial statements include, but are not limited to, purchase price allocation relating to business acquisitions, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets, and incremental borrowing rate for leases. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Principles of combination

The combined carve-out financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, Global Eduhub Holding Limited, Global Edu (SG) Holding Pte Ltd, GEH and GEH's subsidiaries, excluding the PRC portion of GEHI's business. All profits, transactions and balances among the Company, GEH, and GEH's subsidiaries have been eliminated.

Foreign currency translation

The Company's functional currency is the United States dollar. The functional currency of GEH and its subsidiaries is the Singapore dollar ("SGD$").

Assets and liabilities are translated from each entity's functional currency to the reporting currency at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated using the average rate of exchange in effect during the reporting period. Translation adjustments are reported and shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income in the combined carve-out statements of changes in shareholders' equity and combined carve-out statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currencies during the year are converted into the applicable functional currencies at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies are remeasured into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses are recognized in the combined carve-out statements of operations.

Business Combinations

Business combinations are recorded using the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to the tangible assets, liabilities, identifiable intangible assets acquired and non-controlling interest, if any, based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are expensed as incurred.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash in banks and highly liquid investments which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, with an original maturity of three months or less and are readily convertible to known amount of cash.

Inventories

Inventories, mainly consisting of teaching aids, and textbooks, are stated at the lower of cost or net realized value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. Inventory is written down for damaged and slow-moving goods, which is dependent upon factors such as historical and forecasted consumption of the inventories.

Fair value measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

Authoritative literature provides a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:

Level 1

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Financial instruments

The Group's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables and amount due from related parties. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other receivable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

For the impairment of the financial instruments other than accounts receivable, the Group has identified the relevant risk characteristics which include size and nature or a combination of these characteristics. Receivables with similar risk characteristics have been grouped into pools. For each pool, the Group considers the historical credit loss experience, current economic conditions, supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and any recoveries in assessing the lifetime expected credit losses. When specific debtors are identified as no longer sharing the same risk profile as their current pool, they are removed from the pool and evaluated separately.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

On January 1, 2020, the Group adopted ASC 326 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326") using the modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit. Upon adoption, the Group changed its impairment model to utilize a current expected credit losses model in place of the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments measured at amortized cost, including accounts receivable, loans receivables and consideration receivable. The Group recorded an increase to opening accumulated deficit of $100 as of January 1, 2020 due to the cumulative impact of adopting ASC 326.

Management used an expected credit loss model for the impairment of financial instruments mentioned above as of period ends.

For the allowance of the accounts receivable, management believes the aging of accounts receivable is a reasonable parameter to estimate expected credit loss, and determines expected credit losses for accounts receivables using an aging schedule as of period ends. The expected credit loss rates under each aging schedule were developed on basis of the average historical loss rates from previous years, and adjusted to reflect the effects of those differences in current conditions and forecasted changes. Management measured the expected credit losses of accounts receivable on a collective basis. When an accounts receivable does not share risk characteristics with other accounts receivables, management will evaluate such accounts receivable for expected credit loss on an individual basis. Doubtful accounts balances are written off and deducted from allowance for credit loss, when receivables are deemed uncollectible, after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

Category	Estimated useful life
Furniture, fixture and equipment	5 years
Leasehold improvement	Shorter of lease term or economic life

Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas the cost of renewals and betterment that extends the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirements, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation from the assets and accumulated depreciation accounts with any resulting gain or loss reflected in the combined carve-out statements of operations.

Leases

The Group applies Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) when accounting for leases.

The Group has lease contracts for offices, kindergartens and student care centers in different cities in Singapore under operating leases. The Group determines whether an arrangement constitutes a lease and records lease liabilities and right-of-use assets on its combined carve-out 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 publicly traded debt securities of companies with credit and financial profiles similar to its own. 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 incurred under the lease. The Group begins recognizing lease expense when the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the Group.

For leases with lease term less than one year(short-term leases), the Group records operating lease expensein its combined carve-out statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term and record variable lease payments as incurred.

In April 2020, the FASB issued guidance for lease concessions provided to lessees in response to the effects of COVID-19. Such guidance allows lessees to make an election not to evaluate whether a lease concession provided by a lessor should be accounted for as a lease modification, in the event the concession does not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. Such concessions would be recorded as negative lease expense in the period of relief. The Group has elected to apply the practical expedient. See Note 11.

Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets with definite lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. The amortization of such intangible assets is recognized over the expected useful lives of the assets.

Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but tested for impairment annually or more frequently if event and circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.

Impairment of long-lived assets with definite lives

Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, intangible assets with definite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Group measures impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets or assets group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets or asset group and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets or assets group, the Group would recognize an impairment loss based on the fair value of the assets or assets group. The Group recorded impairment loss on property, plant, and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets of $Nil, $Niland $Nilduring the years ended December 31,2020, 2021 and 2022. The Group recorded impairment losses on intangible assetswith definite lives of $Nil, $Niland $1,365during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

Impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets

Goodwill is not amortized, but tested for impairment annually or more frequently if event and circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The guidance permits the Group to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is "more likely than not" that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the goodwill impairment test. Absent from any impairment indicators, the Group performs its annual impairment test on the last day of each fiscal year.

On January 1, 2020, the Group adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"), which removes the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Instead, the Group performed its goodwill impairment tests by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and recognized an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value but not to exceed the total amount of the goodwill of the reporting unit.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually for the reporting unit or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The Group performs its annual quantitative impairment assessment considering the weighting of both an income and a market approach. The income approach is based on estimated present value of future cash flows for the reporting unit carrying a goodwill balance. The market approach is based on assumptions about how market data relates to the reporting unit carrying a goodwill balance. The weighting of these two approaches is based on their individual correlation to the economics of each reporting unit carrying a goodwill balance.

When using discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of a reporting unit, the discounted cash flow model includes a number of significant unobservable inputs. Key assumptions used to determine the estimated fair value include: (a) internal cash flows forecasts including expected revenue growth, operating margins and estimated capital needs, (b) an estimated terminal value using a terminal year long-term future growth rate determined based on the growth prospects of the reporting units; and (c) a discount rate that reflects the weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the reporting unit's operation and the uncertainty inherent in the Group's internally developed forecast.

The impairment test for intangible assets not subject to amortization consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

The Group recorded impairment losses on goodwill of $Nil, $Nil and $19,156 during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The Group recorded impairment losses on the indefinite-lived intangible assets of $Nil, $Nil and $2,140 during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

Revenue recognition

The Group follows five steps for its revenue recognition under ASC 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Group generated its revenues from the following revenue sources:

(i) Tuition fees generated from kindergarten services and student care services

The Group provides private kindergarten services and students care centers services to students. Tuition fees are collected in advance and are initially recorded as deferred revenue.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Revenue recognition - continued

Kindergarten services consist of a series of classes which are highly interdependent and interrelated in the context of the contract and each class is not distinct and not sold standalone. Therefore, the kindergarten services are accounted for as a single performance obligation.

Student care services provide a separate series of classes which are highly interdependent and interrelated in the context of the contract and each class is not distinct and not sold standalone. Therefore, student care services are accounted for as a single performance obligation.

The transaction prices for kindergarten services and student care services are determined by the contract amount net of refund. For the kindergarten program, the students can claim certain amount of the tuition refund, upon withdrawal, if more than a certain number of classes are missed. For the student care services, the students can claim refund, upon withdrawal, if classes are missed due to illness. The refund amount is subject to the refund policy at each facility and the timing of the student's withdrawal. No refund is provided for kindergarten and student care services provided in Singapore.

Revenues for the kindergarten services and student care center services are recognized on a straight line basis over the service period.

(ii) Franchising fees

GEH generates revenues by franchising kindergartens., and collects from franchisees the initial franchising fees and annual franchise fee. As the initial franchising service and annual franchising service are distinct from each other, the Group identifies two performance obligations accordingly. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on a relative stand-alone selling price.

Initial franchising fees represent provision of initial set-up services which are typically received upfront and recorded as prepayment from customers. The set-up period usually begins with the site renovation or training services, whichever is earlier, to the time point when kindergartens commence operations, which is approximately 7 or 8 months. Initial franchising fees are recognized over time throughout the set-up period.

(ii) Franchising fees - continued

Annual franchise fees represent supporting services provided by the Group to the franchised kindergartens. The related annual franchise fees are received upfront and recorded as deferred revenue. Annual franchise fees are recognized over time throughout the contract terms.

(iii) Sales of educational merchandise

The Group's educational merchandise consists of teaching aids, textbooks and other goods. The Group considers both franchisees and end-users as its customers. Prepayments for sales of educational merchandise are recognized as prepayments from customers. Sales of educational merchandise is accounted for as a single performance obligation, and recognized at the point of time when the control of promised goods is transferred to the customers.

Goods and Services Tax

Goods and Services Tax ("GST") is a broad-based value added tax in Singapore, which is imposed on all supplies of goods and services in Singapore made by a taxable person for business purposes. GST rate is 7% of the gross sales. Singapore's entities whose taxable turnover for the past 12 months exceeds SGD$1 million or the taxable turnover in the next 12 months to be more than SGD$1 million should be registered as GST-registered companies. For GST-registered entities, their revenue generated from kindergarten services, student care services and others, is reported net of GST collected on behalf of Singapore tax authorities. For Non-GST registered entities, they are qualified for GST exemption for all kinds of revenue.

Income taxes

Current income taxes are provided for 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 combined carve-out financial statements. Net operating loss carry forwards and credits are applied using enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that a portion of or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The impact of an uncertain income tax position is recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant tax authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Interest and penalties on income taxes will be classified as a component of the provisions for income taxes.

Government subsidies

Government subsidies represent government grants received from Singapore government authority to encourage the Company's services. The Company records such government subsidies as income when it has fulfilled all of its obligation related to the subsidy. The Company recorded $4,348, $2,176, and $1,682 of subsidy income for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

Net (loss) income per share

Basic net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net loss or income attributable to holders of ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The share options exercisable for little to no consideration are considered as issuable ordinary shares, and therefore included in basic shares outstanding. Diluted net (loss) income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities to issue ordinary shares were exercised or converted into ordinary shares. The dilutive effect of outstanding share-based awards is reflected in the diluted net (loss) income per share by application of the treasury stock method.

Comprehensive (loss) income

Comprehensive (loss) income includes net (loss) income and foreign currency translation adjustments and is reported in the combined carve-out statements of comprehensive (loss) income. The Group presents the components of net (loss) income, the components of other comprehensive (loss) income and total comprehensive (loss) income in two separate but consecutive statements.

Significant risks and uncertainties

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and prepaid expenses and other current assets. As of December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, all of the Group's cash and cash equivalents were deposited in financial institutions located in the United States of America and Singapore. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers inSingapore. The risk with respect to accounts receivable is mitigated by credit evaluations the Group performs on its customers and its ongoing monitoring process of outstanding balances.

Concentration of customers

No customer accounts for 10% or more of revenue for the years ended 2022 and accounts receivable as of December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No.2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity(Subtopic 815-40):Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity(ASU 2020-06),which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments. This guidance also eliminates the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments and requires the use of the if-converted method. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Group adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, and the adoption had no material impact on the Group's combined carve-out financial statements.

In May 2021 the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718). and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer's accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity -classified written call options (for example warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our combined carve-out financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No.2021-08 Business Combinations (Tonic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (ASU2021-08),which clarifies that an acquirer of a business should recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new amendments are effective for us are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

7. GOODWILL - continued

Goodwill was tested for impairment in the fourth quarter of 2020, 2021 and 2022 for the reporting unit. The Group performed its quantitative impairment assessment considering the income approach. The income approach is based on estimated present value of future cash flows for the reporting unit carrying a goodwill balance.

The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology after considered and weighed the market approach. The discounted cash flow analysis requires significant estimates, including projections of future operating results and cash flows of the reporting unit that are based on internal budgets and strategic plans, expected long-term growth rates, terminal values, weighted average cost of capital and the effects of external factors and market conditions.

When using discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of the reporting unit, the discounted cash flow model included a number of significant unobservable inputs. Key assumptions used to determine the estimated fair value include: (a) internal cash flows forecasts including expected revenue growth, operating margins and estimated capital needs, (b) an estimated terminal value using a terminal year long-term future growth rate determined based on the growth prospects of the reporting units; and (c) a discount rate that reflects the weighted-average cost of capital ("WACC") adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the reporting unit's operation and the uncertainty inherent in the Group's internally developed forecast.

The following key assumptions were made in the discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of the reporting unit in the impairment test for the reporting unit of Global Eduhub Holding Limited ("GEH").

Years ended December 31,
2020	2021	2022
Revenue growth	8%-12%	8%-12%	3%-13%
WACC	14%	14%	14%
Income tax rate	17%	17%	17%
Terminal growth rate	2%	2%	2%
Forecasted inflation rate	2%	2%	2%

While management believes the assumptions used in our impairment test are reasonable, the fair value estimate is most sensitive to our discount rate and market multiple assumptions as these amounts are reflective of the market's perception of our ability to achieve our projected cash flows.

Based on the impairment analysis of December 31, 2022, the Group concluded that the goodwill of the reporting unit of GEH were impaired. As such, $19,156 impairment loss of goodwill was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The Group recorded $Nil, $Nil and $19,156 impairment of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 respectively.

21. SUBSEQUENT EVENT - continued

The Company is valued at US$50 million by equity value (the "GEHI Equity Value") on a fully-diluted basis (after consummation of the Disposal (as defined below)) assuming that the net cash of the Company will be US$15 million at the closing of the Merger (the "Closing"), implying an enterprise value of GEHI at US$35 million (the "GEHI Implied Enterprise Value"), and eLMTree is valued at US$750 million by equity value on a fully-diluted basis (the "eLMTree Equity Value") assuming a normalized level of working capital at Closing. The Merger Agreement also contemplates that the Company will change its name to "Mynd.ai, Inc." or such other name as determined by Best Assistant and adopt an amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the "GEHI A&R MAA"), in each case immediately before the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), following which the authorized share capital of the Company shall only consist of ordinary shares ("GEHI Shares"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time (which is expected to occur on the date of Closing), each ordinary share of eLMTree issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding the Dissenting Shares and the Excluded Shares, each as defined in the Merger Agreement) will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable GEHI Shares equal to (a) the eLMTree per share value (which is in turn calculated by (i) the eLMTree Equity Value divided by (ii) the number of ordinary shares of eLMTree that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time), divided by (b) the GEHI per share value (which is in turn calculated by (i) the GEHI Equity Value, divided by (ii) the number of all GEHI Class A ordinary shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time on a fully-diluted basis) (the aggregate number of GEHI Shares to be issued by GEHI, the "Merger Consideration").

Concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement, NetDragon WebSoft, Inc. ("ND BVI"), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of NetDragon, has entered into a share purchase agreement (the "Secondary SPA") with Joy Year Limited, Bloom Star Limited, Ascendent Rainbow (Cayman) Limited (and its affiliates, "ACP"), Trump Creation Limited and China Growth Capital Limited (collectively, the "Founding Shareholders"), pursuant to which ND BVI will acquire 8,588,960 Class A ordinary shares of the Company (representing approximately 30% of the outstanding share capital of the Company as of the date hereof) from the Founding Shareholders immediately prior to the Closing at an aggregate consideration of US$15 million (the "Secondary Sale").

Concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company has entered into a share purchase agreement (the "Disposal Agreement") with Rainbow Companion, Inc. (the "Disposal Purchaser"), a purchaser consortium formed by the Founding Shareholders and their affiliates. Pursuant to Disposal Agreement, immediately prior to the Closing, the Company will transfer all its education business in China to the Disposal Purchaser (the "Disposal") at a consideration of US$15 million (the "Disposal Consideration"). Upon completion of the Disposal, the Company will cease to operate any education business in China.

Concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement, ACP, the Company and Best Assistant have also entered into a senior secured convertible note purchase agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement", together with the Disposal Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Secondary SPA and the exhibits and schedules thereto, collectively, the "Transaction Documents"), pursuant to which, at the Closing, ACP will purchase US$65 million principal amount of secured convertible notes issued by the Company (the "ACP CB") at the Closing (the "ACP CB Investment", together with the Disposal, the Merger, the Secondary Sale and other transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the "Transactions").

Upon consummation of the Merger, the Disposal and the Secondary Sale, NetDragon will become the controlling shareholder of the Company holding approximately 72.9% of all outstanding GEHI Shares (after a special dividend is made to the shareholders of NetDragon by way of the distribution in specie of certain GEHI Shares to be held by NetDragon (indirectly through ND BVI) after the Closing but assuming the ACP CB is not converted and the share awards are not granted under the new equity compensation plan that the Company plans to adopt after the Closing).

The Company's Board, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the special committee of the Board (the "Special Committee") consisting solely of independent and disinterested directors, approved the Transaction Documents and the Transactions and resolved to recommend that the Company's shareholders vote to authorize and approve the Transaction Documents and the Transactions when and if they are submitted for shareholder approval. The Special Committee received a fairness opinion from its independent financial advisor, Somerley Capital Limited, covering that each of (a) the consideration to be received by the Company from the Disposal, (b) the Merger Consideration payable by the Company for the acquisition of eLMTree, and (c) the GEHI Implied Enterprise Value, is, as of such date and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth in the written fairness opinion, from a financial point of view, fair to GEHI. The Company and Netdragon anticipate that the Transactions will be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2023, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents, including, among other things, receipt of NetDragon's shareholder approval, the Company's shareholder approval and certain regulatory approvals.

No audited financial statements of Group, GEHI, or any of its subsidiaries have been prepared in respect of any period subsequent to December 31, 2022.
