GENERAL NOTES

 

Description of these Chapter 11 Cases

 

On December 8, 2023 (the “Petition Date”), Near Intelligence, Inc. and its affiliated debtors in the above-captioned chapter 11 cases (collectively, the “Debtors”) commenced with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”) voluntary cases under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Debtors are authorized to continue operating their businesses and managing their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On December 11, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the joint administration of these cases pursuant to Rule 1015(b) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure. On December 22, 2023, the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware (the “U.S. Trustee”) appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors pursuant to section 1102(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Additional information about these chapter 11 cases, court filings, and claims information is available at the Debtors’ restructuring website: https://cases.ra.kroll.com/near/.

 

Financial Statements

 

In this Periodic Report, the Debtors provide balance sheets and statements of income (loss) for each Non-Debtor Entity for the period covered as indicated on each Exhibit.

 

The financial statements contained herein include the results of those entities in which the Debtors hold a direct or indirect substantial and controlling interest. The financial statements are unaudited, limited in scope, have not been reviewed by an independent audit firm and do not fully comply with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The financial statements have been derived from the books and records of the Debtors and the Controlled Non-Debtor Entities. If U.S. GAAP procedures had been applied in full, the Debtors believe that the financial information could be subject to changes and these changes could be material.

 

Although the Debtors’ management made reasonable efforts to ensure that the financial information is accurate and complete based on information that was available to them at the time of preparation, subsequent information or discovery may result in material changes to the information. Notwithstanding any such discovery, new information, or errors or omissions, the Debtors do not undertake any obligation or commitment to update this Periodic Report. Nothing contained in this Periodic Report shall constitute a waiver of any rights of the Debtors, including the right to amend the information contained herein.

 

The financial information disclosed herein was not prepared in accordance with federal or state securities laws or other applicable non-bankruptcy law or in lieu of complying with any periodic reporting requirements thereunder. Persons and entities trading in or otherwise purchasing, selling, or transferring the claims against or equity interests in the Debtors should evaluate this financial information in light of the purposes for which it was prepared. The Debtors are not liable for and undertake no responsibility to indicate variations from securities laws or for any evaluations of the Debtors based on this financial information or any other information.

 

1

 

 

The results of operations contained herein are not necessarily indicative of results that are expected from any other period and may not necessarily reflect the results of operations or financial position of the non-Debtors in the future. Further, this Periodic Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period, and has been prepared solely for purposes of fulfilling the requirements of Bankruptcy Rule 2015.3. Given, among other things, the uncertainty surrounding the realization, measurement, and ownership of certain assets and the valuation and nature of certain liabilities, to the extent that a non-Debtor entity shows more assets than liabilities, this is not an admission that the non-Debtor entity was solvent on the Petition Date or at any time prior to the Petition Date, including the date as of or for the period of any financial statements or other information included in this Periodic Report. Likewise, to the extent that a non-Debtor entity shows more liabilities than assets, this is not an admission that the non-Debtor entity was insolvent on the Petition Date or at any time prior to the Petition Date, including the date as of or for the period of any financial statements or other information included in this Periodic Report.

 

The balance sheets and statements of income have been included for the non-Debtor affiliates to the extent available on a basis consistent with the Debtor’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Current Values

 

The Debtors do not maintain fair market value or other bases of valuation for these entities, which may differ substantially from the net book value of these entities.

 

Reservation of Rights

 

Nothing contained in this Periodic Report shall constitute a waiver or admission by the Debtors in any respect, nor shall this Periodic Report or any information set forth herein waive or release any of the Debtors’ rights or admission with respect to these chapter 11 cases, or their estates, including with respect to, among other things, matters involving objections to claims, substantive consolidation, equitable subordination, defenses, characterization or re-characterization of contracts, assumption or rejection of contracts under the provisions of chapter 3 of the Bankruptcy Code and/or causes of action under the provisions of chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other relevant applicable laws to recover assets or avoid transfers. The Debtors are reviewing the assets and liabilities of their affiliates on an ongoing basis, including without limitation with respect to intercompany claims and obligations, and nothing contained in this Periodic Report shall constitute a waiver of any of the Debtors’ or their affiliates’ rights with respect to such assets, liabilities, claims, and obligations that may exist.

 

Currency

 

The amounts herein are presented in U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Description of the Controlled Non-Debtor Entities’ Payments of

Administrative Expenses or Professional Fees Otherwise Payable by a Debtor

 

Currently, there are no known payments made, or obligations incurred (or claims purchased) by any Controlled Non-Debtor Entity in connection with any claims, administrative expenses, or professional fees that have been or could be asserted against the Debtors. However, in the ordinary course of business, the Debtors engage in routine business relationships among and between the Debtors and between the Debtors and the Controlled Non-Debtor Entities (the “Intercompany Transactions”) related to, among other things, cross charges and intercompany funding and loans, which may result in intercompany receivables and payables (the “Intercompany Claims”). These Intercompany Transactions occur as part of regular business operations, and at any given time, there may be Intercompany Claims owing between the Debtors and between the Debtors and the Controlled Non-Debtor Entities.
