NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2019 AND 2018

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)

Basis of presentation and principle of consolidation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

The unaudited interim financial information as of March 31, 2019 and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and pursuant to Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has one VIE –Beijing Tianxing, and Beijing Tianxing has five subsidiaries (See Note 1 for subsidiary information), each of which is entitled to a license to hold a car in Beijing. The unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, which was filed with the SEC on April 5, 2019.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited financial position as of March 31, 2019, its unaudited results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and its unaudited cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, as applicable, have been made. The unaudited interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

(b)

Recently announced accounting standards

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities. ASU 2018-17 expands the accounting alternative that allows private companies the election not to apply the variable interest entity guidance to qualifying common control leasing arrangements. ASU 2018-17 broadens the scope of the private company alternative to include all common control arrangements that meet specific criteria (not just leasing arrangements). ASU 2018-17 also eliminates the requirement that entities consider indirect interests held through related parties under common control in their entirety when assessing whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest. Instead, the reporting entity will consider such indirect interests on a proportionate basis. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the timing and impact of adopting the updated provisions to its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement - Disclosure Framework (Topic 820). The updated guidance improves the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The updated guidance if effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for any removed or modified disclosures. The Company is currently assessing the timing and impact of adopting the updated provisions to its consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards would have a material effect would have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.

(c)

Recently adopted accounting standards

In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The new guidance permits, but does not require, companies to reclassify the stranded tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) on items within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2019 and did not elect to reclassify the stranded tax effects of the Act on items within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The Company uses the portfolio method for releasing the stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard update (ASC Topic 842) that amends the accounting guidance on leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record an ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The FASB also subsequently issued amendments to the standard, including providing an additional and optional transition method to adopt the new standard, described below, as well as certain practical expedients related to land easements and lessor accounting.

The accounting standard update originally required the use of a modified retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements with the option to elect certain practical expedients. A subsequent amendment to the standard provides an additional and optional transition method that allows entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, an entity’s reporting for the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in which it adopts the new leases standard will continue to be in accordance with current GAAP (ASC Topic 840) if the optional transition method is elected. The new accounting standard is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted this accounting standard effective January 1, 2019, using the optional transition method with no restatement of comparative periods. Therefore, the comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC Topic 840. Our adoption of the new standard did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings.

We elected certain practical expedients available under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification of our existing leases. We did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicable to us. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. As a result, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and we did not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components of leases for the majority of our classes of underlying assets. Consequently, on adoption and as of March 31, 2019, we did not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities as we did not enter into new lease agreements with lease term over 12 months for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (Note 16).

(d)

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements include: (i) useful lives and residual value of long-lived assets; (ii) the impairment of long-lived assets; (iii) the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets; and (iv) contingencies and litigation.

Fair value measurement

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. It establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy of valuation techniques based on observable and unobservable inputs, which may be used to measure fair value and include the following:

Level 1	–	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2	–	Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3	–	Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying value of financial items of the Company including cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded $147,540 in “Changes in fair value of noncurrent liabilities”. This is related to distribution of the Settlement Shares to the class plaintiffs approved by the Court in December 2017. On January 19, 2018 and April 10, 2018, the Company issued 712,500 and 237,500 class settlement shares, at the market share price of $1.68 and $1.18 per share, respectively. The Company recorded expenses of $147,540 for the year ended December 31, 2018 under the account of “Changes in fair value of noncurrent liabilities”. As the Company is a public entity with quoted market price, the fair value of other noncurrent liabilities were classified as level 1. The expenses were accrued by reference to the quoted market share price per share on each reporting date.

Operating lease asset, net

Operating lease asset, net, represents the automobiles that are underlying our automotive lease contracts and is reported at cost, less accumulated depreciation and net of impairment charges and origination fees or costs. Depreciation of vehicles is recorded on a straight-line basis to an estimated residual value over the useful life of nine years. We periodically evaluate our depreciation rate for leased vehicles based on expected residual values and adjust depreciation expense over the remaining life of the lease if deemed necessary.

We have significant investments in the residual values of the assets in our operating lease portfolio. The residual values represent an estimate of the values of the assets at the end of the lease contracts. At contract inception, we determine pricing based on the projected residual value of the lease vehicle. This evaluation is primarily based on a proprietary model, which includes variables such as age, expected mileage, seasonality, segment factors, vehicle type, economic indicators, production cycle, automotive manufacturer incentives, and shifts in used vehicle supply. This internally-generated data is compared against third-party, independent data for reasonableness. Realization of the residual values is dependent on our future ability to market the vehicles under the prevailing market conditions. Over the life of the lease, we evaluate the adequacy of our estimate of the residual value and make adjustments to the depreciation rates to the extent the expected value of the vehicle at lease termination changes. In addition to estimating the residual value at lease termination, we also evaluate the current value of the operating lease asset and test for impairment to the extent necessary when there is an indication of impairment based on market considerations and portfolio characteristics. Impairment is determined to exist if fair value of the leased asset is less than carrying value and it is determined that the net carrying value is not recoverable. The net carrying value of a leased asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows expected to result from the lease payments and the estimated residual value upon eventual disposition. If our operating lease assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value as estimated by discounted cash flows. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we accrued impairment of $96,318 for one operating lease asset. We accrue rental income on our operating leases when collection is reasonably assured.

When a lease vehicle is returned to us, either at the end of the lease term or through repossession, the asset is reclassified from operating lease assets to property and equipment, net and recorded at the lower-of-cost or estimated fair value, less costs to sell. Any losses recognized at this time are recorded as depreciation expense. Subsequent decline in value and any gain or loss recognized at the time of sale is recognized presented as a component of depreciation expense and a remarketing gain or loss.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the U.S. GAAP for income taxes.

Provision for income taxes consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes.

The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable income to be utilized with prior net operating loss carried forward. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.

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, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. The Company did not have unrecognized uncertain tax positions or any unrecognized liabilities, interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefit as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2019, income tax returns for the tax years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2018 remain open for statutory examination by PRC tax authorities.

(j)

Loss per share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The number of warrants is omitted excluded from the computation as the anti-dilutive effect.

(k)

Commitments and contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations and tax matters. In accordance with ASC No. 450 Sub topic 20, “Loss Contingencies”, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Share-based awards

Share-based awards granted to the Company’s employees are measured at fair value on grant date and share-based compensation expense is recognized (i) immediately at the grant date if no vesting conditions are required, or (ii) using the accelerated attribution method, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period. The fair value of restricted shares is determined with reference to the fair value of the underlying shares.

At each date of measurement, the Company reviews internal and external sources of information to assist in the estimation of various attributes to determine the fair value of the share-based awards granted by the Company, including but not limited to the fair value of the underlying shares, expected life, expected volatility and expected forfeiture rates. The Company is required to consider many factors and make certain assumptions during this assessment. If any of the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the share-based awards changes significantly, share-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current reporting period.

(n)

Warrants

The Company had warrants to four individuals in private placements, through which the Company issued both common shares and warrants as separable units, and neither instrument is registered when issued. Warrants requiring share settlement are classified as equity.

The capital raised from the private placement is allocated between the fair value of the common stocks and warrants. The Company determined the fair value of warrants by application of the Black-Scholes-Merton formula.

LIQUIDITY

In assessing the Company’s liquidity and its ability to continue as a going concern, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and its ability to generate sufficient cash flow in the future to support its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements and operating expenses obligations.

Since the Company disposed its microcredit business and launched luxurious car leasing business in May 2018. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had cash balance of $340,695 and a negative working capital of $30,135. In April 2019, the Company raised a gross proceed of $3.7 million through a public placement. The management estimated the operating expenses obligation for the next twelve months after issuance of the financial statements to be $500,000. Therefore, the management believes that the Company will continue as a going concern in the following 12 months.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES AND OTHER CONSOLIDATION MATTERS

As a result of Termination Agreements into which Hao Limo and Beijing Youjiao entered on November 8, 2018, the Company had Beijing Tianxing as its only one VIE as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

On June 19, 2018, Hao Limo entered into VIE Agreements with Beijing Tianxing. The key terms of these VIE Agreements are summarized in “Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Operation” above.

VIE is an entity that have either a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, such as through voting rights, right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity or obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity. The variable interest holder, if any, that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. Hao Limo is deemed to have a controlling financial interest and be the primary beneficiary of Beijing Tianxing, because it has both of the following characteristics:

power to direct activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and

obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Pursuant to the VIE Agreements, Beijing Tianxing pays service fees equal to all of its net income to Hao Limo. At the same time, Hao Limo is entitled to receive all of expected residual returns. The VIE Agreements are designed so that Beijing Tianxing operates for the benefit of the Company. Accordingly, the accounts of Beijing Tianxing are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements pursuant to ASC 810-10, Consolidation. In addition, their financial positions and results of operations are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In addition, as all of these VIE agreements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in the PRC, they would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. The legal environment in the PRC is not as developed as in other jurisdictions, such as the United States. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could further limit the Company’s ability to enforce these VIE agreements. Furthermore, these contracts may not be enforceable in China if PRC government authorities or courts take a view that such contracts contravene PRC laws and regulations or are otherwise not enforceable for public policy reasons. In the event the Company is unable to enforce these VIE agreements, it may not be able to exert effective control over Beijing Tianxing and its ability to conduct its business may be materially and adversely affected.

All of the Company’s main current operations are conducted through Beijing Tianxing and its subsidiaries since June 2018. Current regulations in China permit Beijing Tianxing to pay dividends to the Company only out of its accumulated distributable profits, if any, determined in accordance with their articles of association and PRC accounting standards and regulations. The ability of Beijing Tianxing to make dividends and other payments to the Company may be restricted by factors including changes in applicable foreign exchange and other laws and regulations.

RISKS

(a)

Credit risk

Assets that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amount as at the balance sheet dates. As of March 31, 2019, approximately $55,907 was deposited with a bank in the United States which was insured by the government up to $250,000. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, approximately $284,788 and $1,067,657, respectively, were primarily deposited in financial institutions located in Mainland China, which were uninsured by the government authority. To limit exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Company primarily place cash deposits with large financial institutions in China which management believes are of high credit quality.

The Company’s operations are carried out in Mainland China. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC as well as by the general state of the PRC’s economy. In addition, the Company’s business may be influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, rates and methods of taxation, and the extraction of mining resources, among other factors.

(b)

Liquidity risk

The Company is also exposed to liquidity risk which is risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, the Company will turn to other financial institutions and the owners to obtain short-term funding to meet the liquidity shortage.

RISKS (CONTINUED)

(c)

Foreign currency risk

Substantially all of the Company’s operating activities and the Company’s major assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB, except for the cash deposit of approximately$55,907 which was in U.S. dollars as of March 31, 2019, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the Peoples’ Bank of China (“PBOC”) or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted by PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. Where there is a significant change in value of RMB, the gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of a foreign subsidiary will be significant affected.

(d)

VIE risk

It is possible that the VIE Agreements among Beijing Tianxing, Hao Limo, and the Beijing Tianxing Shareholders would not be enforceable in China if PRC government authorities or courts were to find that such contracts contravene PRC laws and regulations or are otherwise not enforceable for public policy reasons. In the event that the Company were unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, the Company would not be able to exert effective control over the VIE. Consequently, the VIE’s results of operations, assets and liabilities would not be included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If such were the case, the Company’s cash flows, financial position, and operating performance would be materially adversely affected. The Company’s contractual arrangements with Beijing Tianxing, Hao Limo, and the Beijing Tianxing Shareholders are approved and in place. Management believes that such contracts are enforceable, and considers the possibility remote that PRC regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over the Company’s operations and contractual relationships would find the contracts to be unenforceable.

The Company’s operations and businesses rely on the operations and businesses of Beijing Tianxing, the VIE of the Company, which holds certain recognized revenue-producing assets including the luxury used cars. The VIE also has an assembled workforce, focused primarily on promotion and marketing, whose costs are expensed as incurred. The Company’s operations and businesses may be adversely impacted if the Company loses the ability to use and enjoy assets held by its VIE.

On January 11, 2019, the Company amended the certificate of incorporation to effect a one-for-five reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. All references to numbers of common shares and per-share data in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect such issuance of shares on a retrospective basis. As such, the weighted average shares outstanding – basic and diluted of 19,834,665 shares issued and outstanding as for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased to 3,966,933 shares.

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The number of warrants is excluded from the computation as the anti-dilutive effect.

INCOME TAXES

Effective January 1, 2008, the New Taxation Law of PRC stipulates that domestic enterprises and foreign invested enterprises (the “FIEs”) are subject to a uniform tax rate of 25%. Under the PRC tax law, companies are required to make quarterly estimate payments based on 25% tax rate; companies that received preferential tax rates are also required to use a 25% tax rate for their installment tax payments. The overpayment, however, will not be refunded and can only be used to offset future tax liabilities.

The Company evaluates the level of authority for each uncertain tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and measures the unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. Due to uncertainties surrounding future utilization, the Company estimates there will not be sufficient future income to realize the deferred tax assets. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2019.

The Company does not anticipate any significant increase to its liability for unrecognized tax benefit within the next 12 months. The Company will classify interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if any, in income tax expense.

The Company does not have any current and deferred tax expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized and recorded as necessary in the provision for income taxes. The Company is subject to income taxes in the PRC. According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or the withholding agent. The statute of limitations is extended to five years under special circumstances, where the underpayment of taxes is more than RMB 100,000. In the case of transfer pricing issues, the statute of limitation is ten years. There is no statute of limitation in the case of tax evasion. There were no uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and the Company does not believe that its unrecognized tax benefits will change over the next twelve months.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Commitments

We leased certain office space in New York, NY where we paid a monthly rent of US$3,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we entered into two additional lease contracts, both of which with a lease term of 12 months. As of March 31, 2019, we had one rental free office lease agreement with a third party and three office lease agreements with fixed monthly rental fee with third parties which expires through September 2020. None of these lease agreements provided either the Company or the lessor with an option to extend or terminate the lease agreements, nor agreed any residual value guarantee or restrictions or covenants.

As permitted by ASC 842, leases with expected durations of less than 12 months from inception (i.e. short-term leases) were excluded from the Company’s calculation of its lease liability and right-of-use asset. Furthermore, as permitted by ASC 842, the Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients, which allows companies not to reassess: (a) whether its expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (b) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (c) initial direct costs for any existing leases. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had one lease agreement with a lease term of 24 months from its inception. Consequently, ROU and lease liabilities shall be recognized on adoption of ASC 842. However since the lease liability is expected to be due in October 2019 according to the lease agreement, we did not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities because it had insignificant financial impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and it had no financial impact on the revenues, net income and retained earnings.

The following table sets forth the Company’s contractual obligations as of March 31, 2019 in future periods:

	Rental payments

Year ending March 31, 2020	$	35,186
Year ending March 31, 2021		30,518
Total	$	65,704

Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $16,624 and $12,139, respectively.

2014 Class Action litigation

On August 6, 2014, a purported shareholder Andrew Dennison filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court District of New Jersey (the “N.J. district court”) relating to a July 25, 2014 press release about the Company’s progress in recovering a significant portion of the $5.4 million the Company paid in the first quarter of 2014 on behalf of loan guarantee customers. The action, Andrew Dennison v. China Bat Group, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:2014-cv-04956, alleges that the Company and its current and former officers and directors Huichun Qin, Long Yi, Jianming Yin, Jinggen Ling, Xiangdong Xiao, and John F. Levy violated the federal securities laws by misrepresenting in prior public filings certain material facts about the risks associated with its loan guarantee business. On October 2, 2014, purported shareholders Zhang Yun and Sanjiv Mehrotra (the “Yun Group”) asserted substantially similar claims against the same defendants in a putative class action captioned Zhang Yun v. China Bat Group, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:14-cv-06136 (D. N.J.). Neither complaint states the amount of damages sought.

On or about October 6, 2014, Dennison, the Yun Group and another purported shareholder, Jason Stark, filed motions to consolidate the cases, be appointed as lead plaintiff and to have their respective counsel appointed as lead counsel.

On October 31, 2014, the N.J. district court entered an order consolidating the cases under the caption “In re China Commercial Credit Inc. Securities Litigation” and appointing the Yun Group as lead plaintiff (“Class Plaintiff”) and the Yun Group’s counsel as lead counsel. On November 18, 2014, the Yun Group and the Company, which at that point was the only defendant served, entered into a stipulation to transfer of the case to the Southern District of New York. On December 18, 2014, Mr. Levy, who had by then been served, joined in the stipulation.

On December 29, 2014, the N.J. district court entered an order transferring the action. The transfer was effected on January 22, 2015, and assigned docket number 1:15-cv-00557-ALC (S.D.N.Y.) (the “Securities Class Action”). Under the schedule stipulated by the parties, the Yun Group was to file an amended complaint within 60 days of the date that the transfer was effected, and the defendants’ date to answer or move was within 60 days of that filing.

On April 7, 2015, the Class Plaintiff filed a Second Amended Class Action Complaint (the “CAC”). The CAC also asserts securities law claims against defendants Axiom Capital Management, Inc., Burnham Securities Inc. and ViewTrade Securities, Inc. (collectively, the “Underwriter Defendants”). The CAC alleges that the Company engaged in a fraudulent scheme by engaging in undisclosed and improper lending practices and made misleading representations regarding its underwriting policies, the loan portfolio quality, the loan loss allowance, compliance with U.S. GAAP and its internal control systems. In accordance with the Court’s procedures, the Company and Mr. Levy and the Underwriter Defendants requested a Pre-Motion Conference in anticipation of filing a motion to dismiss the CAC, which was held on June 25, 2015. At the conference, the Court adjourned the date to answer or move in order to provide the Class Plaintiff with time to serve certain overseas defendants. After the conference, the Class Plaintiff voluntarily dismissed Jianming Yin, Jinggen Ling and Xiangdong Xiao from the action, and Long Yi agreed to waive service, which left Huichun Qin as the sole remaining defendant to serve.

On November 22, 2016, the Company entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (the “Stipulation”) to settle the Securities Class Action. The Stipulation resolved the claims asserted against the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors in the Securities Class Action without any admission or concession of wrongdoing or liability by the Company or the other defendants. The Stipulation also provides, among other things, a settlement payment by the Company of $245,000 in cash and the issuance of 950,000 shares of its common stock (the “Settlement Shares”) to the plaintiff’s counsel and class members.The terms of the Stipulation were subject to approval by the Court following notice to all class members. The issuance of the Settlement Shares are exempt from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. A fairness hearing was held on May 30, 2017, and the Court approved the settlement.

On December 22, 2017, the Court entered a distribution order approving the distribution of the Settlement Stock to the class plaintiffs. The $245,000 cash portion of the settlement has been paid in full. The 712,500 Class Settlement Shares were issued on or about January 19, 2018. The settlement has been finalized, and that thereafter there are no remaining claims outstanding as against the Company with respect to this litigation. On April 10, 2018, the 237,500 of plaintiff attorney fee shares were issued to plaintiff’s attorney’s broker account.

2014 Class Action litigation (continued)

Two of the Underwriter Defendants, Axiom Capital Management, Inc., and ViewTrade Securities, Inc., have asserted their respective rights to indemnification under the Underwriting Agreements entered into in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and secondary offering. On or about March 16, 2016, CCCR entered into an Advance Funding and Escrow Agreement (“Advance Funding Agreement”), under which the CCCR agreed to deposit shares into escrow to fund the advancement obligation, with the initial deposit to be 637,592 shares which was valued at Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000), based upon 80% of the 30 day volume weighted average trading price for each of the 30 consecutive trading days prior to the date of the agreement. As of the completion of the settlement, an aggregate of 527,078 shares are unused in the escrow account and the Underwriter Defendants acknowledged there is no additional payment of fees and expenses owed to the Underwriter Defendants and the Advance Funding Agreement shall be terminated. The Company has instructed the transfer agent to cancel the 527,078 shares and return them to authorized shares. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, the Company is working with its counsel and the escrow agent to complete such cancelation.

2015 Derivative action

On February 3, 2015, a purported shareholder Kiran Kodali filed a putative shareholder derivative complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Kiran Kodali v. Huichun Qin, et al., Case No. 15-cv-806. The action alleges that the Company and its current and former officers and directors Huichun Qin, Long Yi, Jianming Yin, Jinggen Ling, Chunfang Shen, John F. Levy, Xiaofang Shen and Chunjiang Yu violated their fiduciary duties, grossly mismanaged the Company and were unjustly enriched based upon the transfer that was the subject of the Internal Review and other grounds substantially similar to those asserted in the class action complaints. Kodali did not serve a demand upon the Company and alleges that demand is excused. The Company and Mr. Levy are the only defendants who have been served. An amended derivative complaint was filed on April 20, 2015.

On May 29, 2015, the Court “so ordered” a stipulation among Kodali, the Company, and Mr. Levy staying all proceedings in the derivative case, except for service of process on individual defendants, until the earlier of thirty days of termination of the stipulation, dismissal of the class action with prejudice or the date any of the defendants in the class action file an answer to the CAC.

The Company intends to vigorously defend against it. At this stage of the proceedings, the Company is not able to estimate the probability of success or loss. The Court ordered GLG to answer or otherwise move with respect to this action on or before November 13, 2017. Thereafter, GLG and Mr. Levy submitted a pre-motion letter to the Court requesting permission to move to dismiss the derivative complaint; submission of this letter stayed the proceedings pending the Court’s review thereof. The Court held a hearing on this pre-motion letter on January 22, 2018, denying permission to file a motion to dismiss the complaint without prejudice and setting forth a schedule under which Kodali must serve the remaining defendants in the derivative litigation. On or about August 22, 2018, our new litigation counsel noticed their appearance in the Action. The parties filed a Joint Status Report on August 22, 2018, advising the Court that the parties continued to have discussions regarding a potential resolution of the matter. The parties have come to a potential agreement regarding a monetary settlement. However, the parties continued to discuss the non-monetary aspects of a potential resolution. On January 18, 2019, the parties to the derivative action entered into a Stipulation of Settlement and Plaintiff filed an Unopposed Motion for Preliminary Approval of Proposed Derivative Settlement (“Motion”). On April 4, 2019, the Court preliminarily approved the Stipulation and settlement set forth therein, including the terms and conditions for settlement and dismissal with prejudice of the Derivative Action, subject to further consideration at the Settlement Hearing to be held on July 11, 2019 at the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

On April 12, 2019, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K, properly providing the notice of settlement to the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Stipulation of Settlement.

2017 Class action

The Company and its directors were party to a lawsuit filed on September 1, 2017, by certain a stockholder of the Company on behalf of himself and similarly situated stockholders of the Company GLG in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Chancery Court”) (Case No. 2017-0633-JTL) (the “Action”), Plaintiff stockholders which sought injunctive relief, costs, and attorney’s fees. Plaintiff’s Verified Class Action Complaint (“Complaint”) alleged that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders by failing to disclose all necessary material information relating to the Company’s entry into an the Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) with Sorghum Investment Holdings Limited (“Sorghum”) on August 9, 2017, and preventing the Company’s stockholders from casting a fully informed vote on the Company’s acquisition of Sorghum, and other proposals contained in the Company’s preliminary proxy statement, dated August 14, 2017 (“Preliminary Proxy Statement).

On October 10, 2017, the Company filed Amendment No. 1 to its Preliminary Proxy Statement (the “Amended Preliminary Proxy”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in response to the Commission’s September 8, 2017 comment letter (“Comment Letter”). After reviewing the Amended Preliminary Proxy, Plaintiff determined that the Company’s Amended Preliminary Proxy rendered the claims asserted in Plaintiff’s Complaint moot and/or otherwise unsuitable for further pursuit. On October 19, 2017, the Company and Plaintiff entered into a stipulation (“Stipulation”) wherein Plaintiff agreed to voluntarily dismiss his claims against the Company, and its directors, with prejudice. The Delaware Chancery Court granted the Stipulation on October 20, 2017, and entered an Order dismissing the Action with prejudice. In accordance with the Order, the Company will advise the Delaware Chancery Court within fifteen (15) days of the earlier of (a) the stockholder vote on the Exchange Agreement relating to the proposals, or (b) the termination of the Exchange Agreement, and whether the parties to the Action have reached an agreement with respect to Plaintiff’s anticipated request for fees and expenses. Currently, no compensation in any form has passed from the Company, or its directors, to Plaintiff or Plaintiff’s attorneys in the Action, and the Company has not made a promise to give any such compensation. On or about November 6, 2017, the Company filed Amendment No. 2 to its Preliminary Proxy Statement with the Commission in further response to the Comment Letter. On December 29, 2017, the Company received notice from Sorghum notifying the Company that the Exchange Agreement is terminated. The Company advised Plaintiff of the termination of the Exchange Agreement on January 9, 2018.

2017 Arbitration with Sorghum

On December 21, 2017, the Company delivered notice (“Notice”) to Sorghum notifying Sorghum that certain recent actions of Sorghum constituted breaches of Sorghum’s covenants under the Exchange Agreement. Specifically, we believe that Sorghum is in breach of Section 6.9 (a) and Section 6.11 (b) of the Exchange Agreement which required Sorghum to use commercially reasonable efforts and to cooperate fully with the other parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement and to make its directors, officers and employees available in connection with responding in a timely manner to SEC comments. According to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company is entitled to terminate the Exchange Agreement if the breach is not cured within twenty (20) days after the Notice is provided to Sorghum.

2017 Arbitration with Sorghum (continued)

On January 25, 2018, the Company filed an arbitration demand (“Arbitration Demand”) with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) against Sorghum in connection with Sorghum’s breach of the Exchange Agreement. The AAA has forwarded the Company’s Arbitration Demand to Sorghum, and Sorghum’s response to the Arbitration Demand was due on or before February 14, 2018. Sorghum did not provide a written response to the Company’s Arbitration Demand by the deadline. However, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA (“Rules”), Sorghum’s failure to respond is deemed as a general denial of the Company’s claims. On April 10, 2018, the AAA initially appointed Barbara Mentz, Esq. (“Arbitrator Mentz”) as arbitrator in accordance with the arbitration clause contained in the Exchange Agreement . On March 28, 2018, the AAA conducted an initial telephonic conference with Arbitrator Barbara Mentz, but neither Sorghum nor its counsel appeared for the call. On March 28, 2018, after the Company’s counsel appeared for the initial telephonic conference, Sorghum and its counsel contacted the AAA claiming that it was not in receipt of the AAA’s correspondence although the AAA forwarded its correspondence to Sorghum’s Chief Executive Officer’s active email. In response, the AAA scheduled another telephonic conference for April 9, 2018. All parties appeared at the April 9, 2018 conference, and approved Arbitrator Mentz’s appointment. On April 11, 2018, pursuant to the Rules, Sorghum filed its answer and counterclaim. The Company filed a written denial to Sorghum’s counterclaim on April 26, 2018. On May 2, 2018, the parties jointly requested an extension of time to file their respective proposals for resolution with the AAA, and Arbitrator Mentz granted the extension. On May 17, 2018, Sorghum requested another extension and Arbitrator Mentz granted the extension. In accordance with Arbitrator Mentz’s Order, the parties’ proposals was due May 31, 2018. On May 30, 2018, due to a delay in receiving additional evidence from a relevant third party, the Company requested an extension of time to file its proposal for resolution, which Arbitrator Mentz granted extending the deadline to June 7, 2018. To provide additional time to allow certain relevant documents to be translated due to the unavailability of the parties’ mutually accepted translator, the Company requested a final extension of time to June 14, 2018, to submit the parties’ proposal for resolution. Arbitrator Mentz granted the Company’s request. On June 14, 2018, the Company submitted its proposal for resolution to the AAA. On July 30, 2018, Arbitrator Mentz entered a reasoned award, accepting the Company’s proposal for resolution, awarding the Company damages of $1,436,521.50 against Sorghum and denying Sorghum’s Counterclaim against the Company in its entirety with prejudice. Sorghum has sought to vacate the arbitration award by filing a petition to vacate the arbitration award in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, New York County. The Company intends to vigorously oppose and move to confirm the arbitration award. The Court has scheduled a hearing for May 1, 2019.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

1) On April 11, 2019, the Company and certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to such investors an aggregate of 1,680,000 shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) in a registered direct offering and warrants to purchase up to approximately 1,680,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in a concurrent private placement, for gross proceeds of approximately $3.7 million (the “Financing”). The warrants will be exercisable immediately following the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $2.20. The warrants will expire 5 years from the earlier of the date on which the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or may be exercised on a cashless basis and be immediately sold pursuant to Rule 144. The purchase price for each share of Common Stock and the corresponding warrant is $2.20. Each warrant is subject to anti-dilution provisions to reflect stock dividends and splits or other similar transactions, but not as a result of future securities offerings at lower prices. The warrants contain a mandatory exercise right for the Company to force exercise of the warrants if the Company’s common stock trades at or above $6.60 for 20 consecutive trading days provided, among other things, that the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are registered or could be sold pursuant to Rule 144 and the daily trading volume exceeds 200,000 shares per trading day on each trading day in a period of 20 consecutive trading days prior to the applicable date.

The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds from the Financing for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Financing is closed on April 15, 2019, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The Company entered into a letter agreement dated February 25, 2019 (the “Letter Agreement’) with Maxim Group LLC, as exclusive placement agent (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to act as the sole lead/exclusive placement agent in connection with the Financing. The Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent an aggregate fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised in the Financing. The Company also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for certain expenses, including for fees and expenses related to legal expenses limited to $90,000.

2) On May 6, 2019, Mr. Teck Chuan Yeo resigned from his position as director of the Company, effective immediately. His resignation was not a result of any disagreement with the Company relating to its operations, policies or practices. Effective May 6, 2019, the Company’s board of directors appointed Ms. Siyuan Zhu as a new member of the Board and Chairwoman of the Audit Committee to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. Teck Chuan Yeo.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company discontinued one business line which was the direct loans, loan guarantees and financial leasing services to small-to-medium sized businesses, farmers and individuals in the city of Wujiang, Jiangsu Province. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had one business line, which is the used luxurious car leasing business which was started in May 2018.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operation

The car rental and car service industry in China is competitive and fragmented. We expect competition in China’s car rental and car service industry to persist and intensify.

We have a limited operating history. We just launched the car leasing business in May 2018. We believe our future success depends on our ability to significantly increase revenues as well as maintain profitability from our operations. Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business and future prospects. You should consider our future prospects in light of the risks and challenges encountered by a company with a limited operating history in an emerging and rapidly evolving industry. These risks and challenges include, among other things,

●

our ability to continue our growth as well as maintain profitability;

●

preservation of our competitive position in the luxurious car leasing and car service industry in China;

●

our ability to implement our strategies and make timely and effectively respond to competition and changes in customer preferences;

●

recruitment, training and retaining of qualified managerial and other personnel

Our business requires a significant amount of capital in large part because we are prompted to continue to grow our fleet and expand our business in existing markets and to additional markets where we currently do not have operations.

The significant increase in the number of vehicles in China, primarily in major cities, and the traffic and pollution resulting from this increase have drawn the attention of both the government and the public. To address this issue, local governments in China have promulgated various policies to limit the increase in the number of vehicles.

Income from operating lease

The Company commenced its new business of lease services of used luxurious cars in May 2018. From the inception of business through March 31, 2019, the Company purchased nine used luxurious cars for the purpose of operating lease and disposed one of the used luxurious cars. The lease term is generally within one month. The operating lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the scheduled lease term. The Company generated operating lease income of US$399,999 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Because we just launched its new business of lease services of used luxury cars in May 2018 and we did not generate any revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Cost of operating lease assets

The cost of operating lease assets was comprised of the depreciation expenses of used luxurious cars which were under operating lease and other car related expenses. The Company charged depreciation expenses of idle used luxurious cars into other operating expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company charged depreciation expenses of $23,588 and $23,270 to “cost of operating lease assets” and “other operating expenses”, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, net depreciation expense on operating lease assets was nil.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased from $562,427 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $2,002,637 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, representing an increase of $1,440,210, or 256%. Operating expenses primarily consisted of salary and employee surcharge, office rental expense, business tax and surcharge, changes in fair value of other noncurrent liabilities, professional service fees, and other office supplies. The increase was mainly attributable to combined effects of the increase of salary and employee surcharges as a result of issuance of 502,391 restricted shares as compensations to the employees, increase of legal and consulting expenses of $321,186, provision of impairment loss on one operating lease asset of $96,318, and increase of other expenses of $102,720.

Net income from discontinued operations

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the net income from discontinued operations represented a net income of $176,529 from discontinued operations of microcredit service. For details of discontinued operations, please refer to Note 6 of our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Form 10-Q.

Net loss

As a result of the foregoing, net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $1,829,826 representing an increase of $1,443,928 from net loss of $385,898 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Cash Flows and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations primarily through shareholder contributions, cash flow from operations, and public offerings of securities.

Liquidity

Statement of Cash Flows

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019			2018
Net cash used in by operating activities	$	(758,633	)	$	(608,646	)
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities		(999,481	)		151,128
Net cash provided by financing activities		592,724			-
Effects of exchange rate changes on cash		21,969			42,631
Net cash outflow	$	(1,143,421	)	$	(414,887	)

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

During the three ended March 31, 2019, we had a cash outflow from operating activities of US$758,633, an increase of US$149,987 from a cash outflow of US$608,646 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. We incurred a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of US$1,829,826, an increase of US$1,443,928 from the three months ended March 31, 2018, during which we incurred a net loss of US$385,898. In addition to the change in profitability, the decrease in net cash used in operating activities was the result of several factors, including:

●

A gain on disposal of discontinued operations of US$176,529.

●

An increase in impairment losses on operating lease assets, totaling $96,318 relating to the used luxurious car leasing business launched in May 2018; and

●

502,391 restricted shares, at a fair value of $884,208, were issued to employees as compensation of past services.

●

A net cash used in operating activities from discontinued operations of US$546,817.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was US$999,481 as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of US$151,128 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was combined effects of purchase of two used luxurious cars of $406,757 and loans disbursed to two third parties of $592,724.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was mainly caused by net cash of $332,966 provided by investing activities from discontinued operation, netting off against a cash transfer out of $181,838 in connection with discontinued operation.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to borrowings from third parties of $592,724.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company did not incur any cash flows from financing activities.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2019.

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2019, the annual amounts of future minimum payments under certain of our contractual obligations were:

	Payment due by period
	Total		Less than 1 year		1-2 years		2-3 years		3-5 years		5 years and after
Contractual obligations:
Operating lease (1) (2)	$	65,704	$	35,186	$	30,518		-		-		-
	$	65,704	$	35,186	$	30,518	$	-	$	-	$	-

(1)

We leased certain office space in New York, NY where we paid a monthly rent of US$3,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

(2)

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we did not enter into additional lease contracts. As of March 31, 2019, we had one rental free office lease agreement with a third party and one office lease agreement with monthly rental fee of $5,506 with a third party which expires in September 2020.

(3)

As permitted by ASC 842, leases with expected durations of less than 12 months from inception (i.e. short-term leases) were excluded from the Company’s calculation of its lease liability and right-of-use asset. Furthermore, as permitted by ASC 842, the Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients, which allows companies not to reassess: (a) whether its expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (b) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (c) initial direct costs for any existing leases. Consequently, on adoption and as of March 31, 2019, we did not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities as we did not enter into new lease agreements with lease term over 12 months for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective as of March 31, 2019.

Certain personnel primarily responsible for the preparation of our financial statements require additional requisite levels of knowledge, experience and training in the application of U.S. GAAP commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. The management thought that in light of the inexperience of our accounting staff with respect to the requirements of U.S. GAAP-based reporting and SEC rules and regulations, we did not maintain effective controls and did not implement adequate and proper supervisory review to ensure that significant internal control deficiencies can be detected or prevented.

Management’s assessment of the control deficiency over accounting and finance personnel as of March 31, 2019 included:

●

the number of adjustments proposed by our independent auditors during our annual audit processes;

●

how adequately we complied with U.S. GAAP on transactions; and

●

how accurately we prepared supporting information to provide to our independent auditors on annual basis.

Based on the above factors, management concluded that the control deficiency over accounting and finance personnel was the material weaknesses as of March 31, 2019, as our accounting staff continues to lack sufficient U.S. GAAP experience and requires further substantial training.

Management Plan to Remediate Material Weaknesses

We expect to implement the following measures in 2019 to continue to remediate the material weaknesses identified:

●

To continue providing applicable training for our financial and accounting staff to enhance their understanding of U.S. GAAP and internal control over financial reporting.

●

To expand involvement of qualified external consultants to supervise and review our financial reporting process.

●

To strengthen the purchasing and payment approval standard in large purchases of vehicles by increasing the number of employees delegated to the process.

●

To establish a rental fees and deposit monitoring system and employ an operation assistant to maintain the system.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls. Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes (excluding corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2019 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

The warrants will be exercisable immediately following the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $2.20. The warrants will expire 5 years from the earlier of the date on which the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or may be exercised on a cashless basis and be immediately sold pursuant to Rule 144. The purchase price for each share of Common Stock and the corresponding warrant is $2.20. Each warrant is subject to anti-dilution provisions to reflect stock dividends and splits or other similar transactions, but not as a result of future securities offerings at lower prices. The warrants contain a mandatory exercise right for the Company to force exercise of the warrants if the Company’s common stock trades at or above $6.60 for 20 consecutive trading days provided, among other things, that the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are registered or could be sold pursuant to Rule 144 and the daily trading volume exceeds 200,000 shares per trading day on each trading day in a period of 20 consecutive trading days prior to the applicable date.
