Part III - Narrative
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Cenntro Inc. (the “Registrant”) was unable without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2024 within the prescribed time period because the report
and required financial statements could not be completed by the Company and subsequently audited by the Company’s independent auditor in a timely manner. The original filing date applicable to smaller
reporting companies was March 31, 2025. The Registrant is still in the process of compiling required information to complete the Annual Report and its independent registered public accounting firm requires additional time to complete its review of
the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, to be incorporated in the Annual Report. The Registrant anticipates that it will file the Annual Report no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed filing date.

|
| 3. |
Is it anticipated that any significant change in result of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report
or portion thereof? ☐ Yes ☒ No
|
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
