CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”), including, without limitation, statements under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including but not limited to, the words “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “potential,” “projects,” “predicts,” “continues,” or “should,” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on management's current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. However, actual results may differ materially due to various factors, including, but not limited to:

	·	our goals and strategies (including, without limitation, our ability to effectively wind down our peer-to-peer online lending business and establish and grow our other businesses);
	·	our future business development, financial condition and results of operations;
	·	the growth of disposable household income and the availability and cost of credit available to finance car purchases;
	·	the growth of China’s ride-hailing, automobile financing and leasing industries;
	·	taxes and other incentives or disincentives related to car purchases and ownership;
	·	fluctuations in the sales and price of new and used cars and consumer acceptance of financing car purchases;
	·	ride-hailing, transportation networks, and other fundamental changes in transportation pattern;
	·	our expectations regarding demand for and market acceptance of our products and services;
	·	our expectations regarding our customer base;
	·	our plans to invest in our automobile transaction and related services business;
	·	our relationships with our business partners;
	·	competition in our industries;
	·	possible disruptions in commercial activities caused by events such as natural disasters, terrorist activity and armed conflict, including the disruption caused by the ongoing coronavirus outbreak in China;
	·	macro-economic and political conditions affecting the global economy generally and the market in China specifically; and
	·	relevant government policies and regulations relating to our industries.

You should read this Report and the documents that we refer to in this Report with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect. Other sections of this Report and our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

This Report also contains statistical data and estimates that we obtained from industry publications and reports generated by third-parties. Although we have not independently verified the data, we believe that the publications and reports are reliable. The market data contained in this Report involves a number of assumptions, estimates and limitations. The ride-hailing and automobile financing markets in China may not grow at the rates projected by market data, or at all. The failure of these markets to grow at the projected rates may have a material adverse effect on our business and the market price of our common stock. If any one or more of the assumptions underlying the market data turns out to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industries in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described herein or our other reports filed with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

SENMIAO TECHNOLOGY LIMITED

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTITIVIES

Senmiao Technology Limited (the “Company”) is a U.S. holding company incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 8, 2017. The Company provides automobile transaction and related services focusing on the ride-hailing industry in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”) through its majority owned subsidiary, Hunan Ruixi Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. (“Hunan Ruixi”), a PRC limited liability company, its wholly owned subsidiary, Hunan Ruixi Automobile Leasing Co., Ltd. (“Ruixi Leasing”), and its variable interest entity (“VIE”), Sichuan Jinkailong Automobile Leasing Co., Ltd. (“Jinkailong”). The Company operated an online lending platform in China through its VIE, Sichuan Senmiao Ronglian Technology Co., Ltd. (“Sichuan Senmiao”), which facilitated peer-to-peer (“P2P”) loan transactions between Chinese investors and individual and small-to-medium-sized enterprise borrowers. The Company ceased its online lending services business in October 2019 and commenced a process of winding down such business.

On September 25, 2016, Sichuan Senmiao acquired a P2P platform (including website, internet content provider license, operating systems, servers, and management system) from Sichuan Chenghexin Investment and Asset Management Co., Ltd. On July 28, 2017, the Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Sichuan Senmiao Zecheng Business Consulting Co., Ltd. (“Senmiao Consulting”) in China. Sichuan Senmiao was established in China in June 2014. On September 18, 2017, the Company, through Senmiao Consulting, entered into a series of agreements (“VIE Agreements”) with Sichuan Senmiao and its equity holders (the “Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders”) to obtain control and became the primary beneficiary of Sichuan Senmiao (the “Restructuring”). In connection with the Restructuring, as partial consideration for the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders’ commitment to perform their obligations under the VIE Agreements, the Company issued an aggregate of 45,000,000 shares of its common stock to the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders pursuant to certain subscription agreements dated September 18, 2017.

On November 21, 2018, as part of its entry into the automobile transaction business, the Company entered into an Investment and Equity Transfer Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Hunan Ruixi and all the shareholders of Hunan Ruixi (“Hunan Ruixi Shareholders”), pursuant to which the Company acquired from the Hunan Ruixi Shareholders an aggregate of 60% of the equity interest of Hunan Ruixi. The Company closed the acquisition on November 22, 2018 and agreed to make a cash contribution of $6,000,000 to Hunan Ruixi, representing 60% of its registered capital, in accordance with the Investment Agreement (Note 3). As of June 30, 2019, the Company made the full cash contributions in the aggregate amount of $6,000,000 to Hunan Ruixi.

Hunan Ruixi holds a business license for automobile sales and financial leasing and has been engaged in automobile financial leasing services and automobile sales since January 2019. Hunan Ruixi also controls Jinkailong through its 35% equity interest and a voting agreement with Jinkailong’s other shareholders. Jinkailong facilitates automobile sales and financing transactions for its clients, who are primarily ride-hailing drivers and provides them relevant after-transaction services. In March 2019, Hunan Ruixi began its financing leasing operation.

In May 2019, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Yicheng Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. (“Yicheng”), with a registered capital of $50 million in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province. Yicheng obtained its business licenses for automobiles sale and financial leasing on May 5, 2019. Yicheng has been engaged in automobile sales since June 2019.

On July 5, 2019, Yicheng entered into an Investment and Equity Transfer Agreement with Chengdu Mashangchuxing Automobile Leasing Co., Ltd. (“Mashang Chuxing”), Chengdu Yunche Chixun Business Consulting Co., Ltd. (“Yunche Chixun”), Mr. Zhiqiu Xia and all the shareholders of Mashang Chuxing (“Mashang Chuxing Shareholders”), pursuant to which, Yicheng, Yunche Chixun, Mr. Zhiqiu Xia acquired from the Mashang Chuxing Shareholders 49%, 5% and 46% of the equity interests of Mashang Chuxing for no consideration, respectively. As of the date of the financial statements, none of the shareholders of Mashang Chuxing made capital contribution. Mashang Chuxing commenced providing ride-hailing services in August 2019 and has not generated significant revenue due to limited operations. As a result, no equity investment income nor expense were recorded for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019.

On October 17, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved a plan (the “Plan”) prepared by the Company’s executive officers for the Company to discontinue and wind down its online P2P lending services business. In connection with the Plan, the Company ceased facilitation of loan transactions on its online lending platform and assumed all the outstanding loans from investors on the platform. The decision and action taken by the Company to discontinue the online P2P lending services business represents a major shift that will have a material effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, which triggers discontinued operations accounting in accordance with ASC 205-20-45. See Note 4 – discontinued operations.

The following diagram illustrates the Company’s corporate structure, including its subsidiaries, and VIEs, as of the date of these financial statements:

VIE Agreements with Sichuan Senmiao

According to the VIE Agreements, Sichuan Senmiao is obligated to pay Senmiao Consulting service fees equal to its net income. Sichuan Senmiao’s entire operations are controlled by the Company. Although the Company discontinued Sichuan Senmiao’s online P2P lending services business commencing in October 2019, the VIE Agreements remain in place, and such agreements are described in detail below:

Equity Interest Pledge Agreement

Senmiao Consulting, Sichuan Senmiao and the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders entered into an Equity Interest Pledge Agreement, pursuant to which the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders pledged all of their equity interest in Sichuan Senmiao to Senmiao Consulting in order to guarantee the performance of Sichuan Senmiao’s obligations under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement as described below. During the term of the pledge, Senmiao Consulting is entitled to receive any dividends declared on the pledged equity interest of Sichuan Senmiao. The Equity Interest Pledge Agreement terminates when all contractual obligations under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement have been fully performed.

Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement

Pursuant to an Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement entered by and among the Company, Senmiao Consulting, Sichuan Senmiao and each of Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders, Senmiao Consulting will provide Sichuan Senmiao with complete technical support, business support and related consulting services for 10 years ended September 18, 2027. The Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders and Sichuan Senmiao will not engage any third party for the same or similar consultation services without Senmiao Consulting’s prior consent. Further, the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders are entitled to receive an aggregate of 20,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement. Senmiao Consulting may terminate the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement at any time upon prior written notice to Sichuan Senmiao and the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders.

Exclusive Option Agreement

Pursuant to an Exclusive Option Agreement entered by and among Senmiao Consulting, Sichuan Senmiao and the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders, the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders have granted Senmiao Consulting an exclusive option to purchase at any time their equity interests in Sichuan Senmiao at a purchase price equal to the capital paid by the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders in whole or at a pro-rated price for any partial purchase. The Exclusive Option Agreement terminates after 10 years ending September 18, 2027 but can be renewed by Senmiao Consulting at its discretion.

Powers of Attorney

Each of the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders has signed a power of attorney (the “Power of Attorney”), pursuant to which, each of the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders has authorized Senmiao Consulting to act as his or her exclusive agent and attorney with respect to all rights of such individual as a shareholder of Sichuan Senmiao, including but not limited to: (a) attending shareholders’ meetings; (b) exercising all the shareholder’s rights that shareholders are entitled to under PRC laws and the Articles of Association of Sichuan Senmiao, including but not limited to voting, sale, transfer, pledge and disposition of the equity interests of Sichuan Senmiao; and (c) designating and appointing the legal representative, chairperson, director, supervisor, chief executive officer and other senior management members of Sichuan Senmiao. The Power of Attorney has the same term as the Exclusive Option Agreement.

Timely Report Agreement

The Company and Sichuan Senmiao entered into a Timely Report Agreement, pursuant to which, Sichuan Senmiao agrees to make its officers and directors available to the Company and promptly provide all information required by the Company so that the Company can make necessary filings to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other regulatory reports in a timely fashion.

The Company has concluded that it should consolidate the financial statements with Sichuan Senmiao because it is Sichuan Senmiao’s primary beneficiary based on the Power of Attorney from the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders, who assigned their rights as shareholders of Sichuan Senmiao to Senmiao Consulting, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. These rights include, but are not limited to, attending shareholders’ meetings, voting on matters submitted for shareholder approval and appointing legal representatives, directors, supervisors and senior management of Sichuan Senmiao. As a result, the Company, through Senmiao Consulting, is deemed to hold all of the voting equity interests in Sichuan Senmiao. Pursuant to Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement, Senmiao Consulting shall provide complete technical support, business support and related consulting services for 10 years. Though not explicit in the VIE Agreements, the Company may provide financial support to Sichuan Senmiao to meet its working capital requirements and capitalization purposes. The terms of the VIE Agreements and the Company’s plan to provide financial support to Sichuan Senmiao were considered in determining that the Company is the primary beneficiary of Sichuan Senmiao. Accordingly, the financial statements of Sichuan Senmiao are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Restructuring constituted a reorganization. As all of the above mentioned companies are under common control, this series of transactions are considered as a reorganization of the entities under common control at carrying value and the consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the reorganization had occurred retroactively. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the existing corporate structure had been in existence throughout all periods and the reorganization had occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Voting Agreement with Jinkailong’s Other Shareholders

In addition to obtaining 35% equity interests in Jinkailong, Hunan Ruixi entered into a voting agreement, as amended (the “Voting Agreement”), with Jinkailong and other Jinkailong’s shareholders holding an aggregate of 65% equity interests. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, all other Jinkailong’s shareholders will vote in concert with Hunan Ruixi on all fundamental corporate transactions in the event of a disagreement for a period of 20 years, ending on August 25, 2038.

The Company has concluded that it should consolidate the financial statements with Jinkailong because it is Jinkailong’s primary beneficiary based on the Voting Agreement. Though not explicit in the Voting Agreement by and among Jinkailong, Hunan Ruixi, and other shareholders of Hunan Ruixi, the Company may provide financial support to Jinkailong to meet its working capital requirements and capitalization purposes. The terms of the Voting Agreement and the Company’s plan to provide financial support to Jinkailong were considered in determining that the Company is the primary beneficiary of Jinkailong. Accordingly, management has determined that Jinkailong is a VIE and the financial statements of Jinkailong are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Total assets and total liabilities of the Company’s VIEs included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019 are as follows:

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)

Basis of presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

The unaudited interim financial information as of December 31, 2019 and for the nine months ended December 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. 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 March 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on July 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 December 31, 2019, its unaudited results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its unaudited cash flows for the nine months ended December 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)

Basis of consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the subsidiaries and VIEs. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(c)

Foreign currency translation

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates on the date of the balance sheet. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.

The reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries and VIEs is U.S. dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. However, the Company maintains the books and records in its functional currency, Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), being the functional currency of the economic environment in which its operations are conducted.

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$, are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries and VIEs are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

Translation of amounts from RMB into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

		December 31, 2019				March 31, 2019
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts			6.9632				6.7119

	For the Three Months Ended December 31,
	2019		2018
Items in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss)		7.0600		6.9162

	For the Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2019		2018
Items in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and statements of cash flows		6.9620		6.7008

(d)

Use of estimates

In presenting the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgement and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates and assumptions using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. The Company bases its estimates on past experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, revenue recognition, residual values, lease classification and liabilities, finance lease receivables, inventory obsolescence, right-of-use assets, determinations of the useful lives and valuation of long-lived assets, estimates of allowances for doubtful accounts and prepayments, estimates of impairment of intangible assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, estimated fair value used in business acquisitions, valuation of derivative liabilities, allocation of fair value of derivative liabilities issuance of common stock and warrants exercised and other provisions and contingencies.

(e)

Fair values of financial instruments

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying value of the Company. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1	Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2	Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3	Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2019:

	Carrying Value at December 31, 2019		Fair Value Measurement at December 31, 2019
	(Unaudited)		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Derivative liabilities	$	629,848	$	-	$	-	$	629,848

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the nine months ended December 31, 2019:

	December 31, 2019
Beginning balance	$	-
Derivative liabilities recognized at grant date on June 20, 2019		3,150,006
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities		(1,509,406	)
Fair value of Series B warrants exercised		(1,010,752	)
Ending balance	$	629,848

On June 21, 2019, the Company closed a registered direct offering of an aggregate of 1,781,361 shares of common stock, and in connection therewith, issued to the investors (i) for no additional consideration, Series A warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,336,021 shares of common stock, (ii) for nominal additional consideration, Series B warrants to purchase up to a maximum aggregate of 1,116,320 shares of common stock and (iii) placement agent warrants to purchase up to 142,509 shares of common stock.

The strike price of the Company’s Series A and Series B warrants is denominated in US$ and the Company’s functional currency is RMB, therefore, those warrant shares are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock which should be classified as derivative liability.

The Company’s Series A and Series B warrants are not traded in an active securities market; therefore, the Company estimates the fair value to those warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation model on June 20, 2019 (the grant date) and December 31, 2019.

Expected volatility		123	%		123	%		123	%

As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, financial instruments of the Company comprised primarily current assets and current liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, finance lease receivables and other assets, escrow receivables, due from related parties, borrowings from financial institutions, other liabilities, due to stockholders and due to related parties and affiliates, which approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments, and noncurrent liabilities of borrowings from financial institutions, which approximate their fair values because of the stated loan interest rate to the rate charged by similar financial institutions.

The finance lease receivables were recorded at gross adjusted for the deferred interest income using the effective interest rate method. The Company believes that the effective interest rates underlying the finance lease receivables approximate current market rates for such finance leasing products as of December 31, 2019.

Other than as listed above, the Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

(f)

Business combinations and noncontrolling interests

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 "Business Combinations." The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the acquisition date fair value of the assets transferred to the sellers and liabilities incurred by the Company and equity instruments issued. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the total costs of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated income statements. During the measurement period, which can be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated income statements.

For the Company's non-wholly owned subsidiaries, a noncontrolling interest is recognized to reflect portion of equity that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. The cumulative results of operations attributable to noncontrolling interests are also recorded as noncontrolling interests in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Cash flows related to transactions with noncontrolling interests are presented under financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

(g)

Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), which is comprised of certain members of the Company's management team. Historically, the Company had one single operating and reportable segment, namely the provision of an online lending services. During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company acquired Hunan Ruixi and Jinkailong and evaluated how the CODM manages the businesses of the Company to maximize efficiency in allocating resources and assessing performance. Consequently, the Company presents two operating and reportable segments as set forth in Note 2(p). The Company has discontinued the online P2P lending services segment and has only one segment in the period after October 17, 2019.

(h)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. Cash and cash equivalents also consist of funds received from automobile purchasers as payment for automobiles, related Insurances and taxes to be paid on behalf of the automobile purchasers, which funds were held at the third party platforms’ fund accounts and which are unrestricted and immediately available for withdrawal and use.

(i)

Accounts receivable, net

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount less an allowance for any uncollectible accounts and do not bear interest, and are due on demand. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance when necessary. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $84,415 and $0, respectively.

(j)

Inventories

Inventories consist of automobiles which are held primarily for sale and for leasing purposes, and are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, as determined using the weighted average cost method. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and if applicable, an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its net realizable value, if lower than cost. On an ongoing basis, inventories are reviewed for potential write-down for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventories which equals the difference between the costs of inventories and the estimated net realizable value based upon forecasts for future demand and market conditions. When inventories are written-down to the lower of cost or net realizable value, it is not marked up subsequently based on changes in underlying facts and circumstances.

(k)

Finance lease receivables, net

Finance lease receivables, which result from sales-type leases, are measured at discounted present value of (i) future minimum lease payments, (ii) any residual value not subject to a bargain purchase option as a finance lease receivables on its balance sheet and (iii) accrued interest on the balance of the finance lease receivables based on the interest rate inherent in the applicable lease over the term of the lease. Management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance when necessary. Finance lease receivables is charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of December 31, 2019, the Company determined no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary for finance lease receivables.

As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, finance lease receivables consisted of the following:

	December 31, 2019			March 31, 2019
	(Unaudited)
Gross minimum lease payments receivable	$	1,637,763		$	40,023

Future scheduled minimum lease payments for investments in sales-type leases as of December 31, 2019 are as follows:

	Minimum future payments receivable
Twelve months ending December 31, 2020	$	559,494
Twelve months ending December 31, 2021		550,856
Twelve months ending December 31, 2022		407,269
Twelve months ending December 31, 2023		120,144
Total	$	1,637,763

(l)

Property and equipment

Property and equipment primarily consists of computer equipment, which is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation less any provision required for impairment in value. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method with no residual value based on the estimated useful life. The useful life of property and equipment is summarized as follows:

Categories		Useful life
Leasehold improvements		Shorter of the remaining lease terms or estimated useful lives
Computer equipment		2 - 5 years
Office equipment		3 - 5 years
Automobiles		3 - 4 years

The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the future net undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset, if any, exceeds its fair value determined using a discounted cash flow model. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, there was no impairment of property and equipment.

Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets disposed of or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated income statements.

Intangible assets

Purchased intangible assets are recognized and measured at fair value upon acquisition. Separately identifiable intangible assets that have determinable lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method as follows:

Categories		Useful life
Platform		7 years
Customer relationship		10 years
Software		5-7 years

Separately identifiable intangible assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss for identifiable intangible assets is based on the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, there was a $0 and $264,958 impairment, respectively, on customer relationship from Sichuan Senmiao as a result of the Company’s decision to discontinue the P2P lending business in October 2019. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, there was no impairment of intangible assets.

Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock, adjusted for outstanding shares of common stock that are subject to repurchase.

For the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, net income (loss) attributable to stockholders for basic earnings (loss) per share is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, including share-based awards, under the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities, of which the amounts are insignificant, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share if their inclusion is anti-dilutive.

(o)

Derivative liabilities

A contract is designated as an asset or a liability and is carried at fair value on a company’s balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in a company’s results of operations. The Company then determines which options, warrants and embedded features require liability accounting and records the fair value as a derivative liability. The changes in the values of these instruments are shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as “change in fair value of derivative liabilities”.

(p)

Revenue recognition

The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) on April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company has assessed the impact of the guidance by reviewing its existing customer contracts and current accounting policies and practices to identify differences that will result from applying the new requirements, including the evaluation of its performance obligations, transaction price, customer payments, transfer of control and principal versus agent considerations. Based on the assessment, the Company concluded that there was no change to the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for its current revenue streams in scope of ASC 606 and therefore there was no material changes to the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption of ASC 606.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding contracts for automobile transaction and related services amounting to $1,590,743, of which $629,787 is expected to be completed within 12 months after December 31, 2019, and $960,956 is expected to be completed after December 31, 2020.

Disaggregated information of revenues by business lines are as follows:

Automobile transaction and related services

Sales of automobiles – The Company generates revenue from sales of automobiles to the customers of Jinkailong, Hunan Ruixi and Mashang Chuxing. The control over the automobile is transferred to the purchaser along with the delivery of automobile. The amount of the revenue is based on the sale price agreed by Hunan Ruixi or Yicheng and the counterparties, including Jinkailong and Mashang Chuxing, who acts on behalf of its customers. The Company recognizes revenues when the automobile is delivered and control is transferred to the purchaser.

Service fees from automobile purchase services – Services fees from automobile purchase services are paid by automobile purchasers for a series of the services provided to them throughout the purchase process such as credit assessment, preparation of financing application materials, assistance with closing of financing transactions, license and plate registration, payment of taxes and fees, purchase of insurance, installment of GPS devices, ride-hailing driver qualification and other administrative procedures. The amount of these fees is based on the sales price of the automobiles and relevant services provided. The Company recognizes revenue when all the services are completed and the automobile is delivered to the purchaser.

Facilitation fees from automobile transactions – Facilitation fees from automobile purchase transactions are paid by the Company’s customers including third-party sales teams or the automobile purchasers for the facilitation of the sales and financing of automobiles. The Company attracts automobile purchasers through third-party sales teams or its own sales department. For the sales facilitated between third-party sales teams and automobile purchasers, the Company charges the fees to the third-party sales teams, which derived from the commission paid by the automobile purchasers to the third-party sales teams. Relating to sales facilitated between automobile purchasers and dealers, the Company charges the fees to the automobile purchasers. The Company recognizes revenue from facilitation fees when the titles are transferred to the purchasers. The amount of fees is based on the type of automobile and negotiation with each sales team or automobile purchaser. The fees charged to third-party sales teams or automobile purchasers are paid before the automobile purchase transactions are consummated. These fees are non-refundable upon the delivery of automobiles.

Service fees from management and guarantee services – Over 95% of the Company’s customers are drivers of Didi Chuxing Technology Co., Ltd., the largest ride-hailing service platform in China. The drivers sign affiliation agreements with the Company, pursuant to which the Company provides them with management and guarantee services during the affiliation period. Service fees for management and guarantee services are paid by such automobile purchasers on a monthly basis for the management and guarantee services provided during the affiliation period. The Company recognizes revenue over the affiliation period when performance obligations are completed.

Financing revenues – Interest income from the lease arising from the Company’s sales-type leases and bundled lease arrangements is recognized as financing revenues over the lease term based on the effective rate of interest in the lease.

Lease

On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC Topic 842). This update, as well as additional amendments and targeted improvements issued in 2018 and early 2019, supersedes existing lease accounting guidance found under ASC 840, Leases (“ASC 840”). The accounting for lessors does not fundamentally change with this update except for changes to conform and align guidance to the lessee guidance, as well as to the revenue recognition guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606). Some of these conforming changes, such as those related to the definition of lease term and minimum lease payments, resulted in certain lease arrangements, that would have been previously accounted for as operating leases, to be classified and accounted for as sales-type leases with a corresponding up-front recognition of automobile sales revenue when the lessee obtained control over the automobile.

The two primary accounting provisions the Company uses to classify transactions as sales-type or operating leases are: (i) a review of the lease term to determine if it is for the major part of the economic life of the underlying equipment (defined as greater than 75%); and (ii) a review of the present value of the lease payments to determine if they are equal to or greater than substantially all of the fair market value of the equipment at the inception of the lease (defined as greater than 90%). Automobile included in arrangements meeting these conditions are accounted for as sales-type leases. Interest income from the lease is recognized in financing revenues over the lease term. Automobile included in arrangements that do not meet these conditions are accounted for as operating leases and revenue is recognized over the term of the lease.

The Company excludes from the measurement of its lease revenues any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected from a customer.

The Company consider the economic life of most of the automobiles to be three to four years, since this represents the most common lease term for its automobiles and the automobiles will be used for ride-hailing services. The Company believes three to four years is representative of the period during which an automobile is expected to be economically usable, with normal service, for the purpose for which it is intended.

A portion of the Company’s direct sales of automobile to end customers are made through bundled lease arrangements which typically include automobile, services (automobile purchase services, facilitation services, and management and guarantee services) and financing components where the customer pays a single negotiated fixed minimum monthly payment for all elements over the contractual lease term. Revenues under these bundled lease arrangements are allocated considering the relative standalone selling prices of the lease and non-lease deliverables included in the bundled arrangement and the financing components. Lease deliverables include the automobile and financing, while the non-lease deliverables generally consist of the services and repayment of advanced fees made on behalf of its customers. The Company considers the fixed payments for purposes of allocation to the lease elements of the contract. The fixed minimum monthly payments are multiplied by the number of months in the contract term to arrive at the total fixed lease payments that the customer is obligated to make over the lease term. Amounts allocated to the automobile and financing elements are then subjected to the accounting estimates under ASC 842 to ensure the values reflect standalone selling prices. The remainder of any fixed payments are allocated to non-lease elements (automobile purchase services, facilitation fees, and management and guarantee services), for which these revenues are recognized in a manner consistent with the guidance for service fees from automobile purchase services, facilitation fees from automobile transactions, and service fees from management and guarantee services as discussed above.

The Company’s lease pricing interest rates, which are used in determining customer payments in a bundled lease arrangement, are developed based upon the local prevailing rates in the marketplace where its customer will be able to obtain an automobile loan under similar terms from the bank. The Company reassess its pricing interest rates quarterly based on changes in the local prevailing rates in the marketplace. As of December 31, 2019, the Company's pricing interest rate was 6.0% per annum.

Online P2P Lending Services (Discontinued Operations)

Transaction fees – Prior to the Company’s P2P lending business discontinued on October 17, 2019, transaction fees were paid by borrowers to the Company for the work the Company performed through its platform. The amount of these fees was based upon the loan amount and the maturity date of the loan. The fees charged to borrowers were paid upon (i) disbursement of the proceeds for loans which accrued interest on a monthly basis or (ii) full payment of principal and interest of loans which accrued interest on a daily basis. These fees were non-refundable upon the issuance of loan. The Company recognized revenue when loan proceeds were disbursed to borrowers or borrowers paid their principal and interest on loans.

Service fees – The Company charged investors service fees on their actual return of investment (interest income). The Company generally received the service fees upon the investors’ receipt of their investment returns. The Company recognized revenue when loans were repaid and investors received their investment income.

Website development revenues – Revenue allocated to website development services is recognized as the service is performed over time using the Company’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation using an input measure method, under which the total value of revenue is recognized on the basis of the percentage that total cost to date bears to the total expected costs. The Company considers labor costs and related outsource labor costs for the input measurement as the best available indicator of the progress, pattern and timing in which contract obligations are fulfilled.

Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates. In instances where substantive acceptance provisions are specified in customer contracts, revenues are deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. To date, the Company has not incurred a material loss on any contracts. However, as a policy, provisions for estimated losses on such engagements will be made during the period in which a loss becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated.

The Company generally does not enter into arrangements with multiple deliverables for website development services contracts. If the deliverables have standalone value at contract inception, the Company accounts for each deliverable separately.

(q)

Income taxes

Deferred income tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provisions or benefits for income taxes consists of tax estimated from taxable income plus or minus deferred tax expenses (benefits) if applicable.

Deferred tax is calculated 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 will be utilized with prior net operating loss carried forwards 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 utilized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax 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 any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions or any unrecognized liabilities, interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefit as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the calendar years ended December 31, 2013 through 2018 for the Company’s PRC entities remain open for statutory examination by PRC tax authorities.

(r)

Comprehensive income (loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and foreign currency adjustments. Comprehensive income (loss) is reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as presented on the consolidated balance sheets are the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

(s)

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.

(t)

Leases

Prior to March 31, 2019, leases are classified as either capital or operating leases. Leases that transfer substantially all the benefits and risks incidental to the ownership of assets are accounted for as if there was an acquisition of an asset and incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases expense and is included in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. The Company had no capital lease commitments for the nine months ended December 31, 2019.

On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC Topic 842). This update supersedes existing lease accounting guidance found under ASC 840, Leases (“ASC 840”) and requires the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease obligations (“lease liabilities”) by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating leases under existing lease guidance. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Short term leases with a term of 12 months or less are not required to be recognized. The Company did not have any financing lease for the nine months ended December 31, 2019.

The Company adopted the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease a single lease component. The impact of the adoption of the ASC 842, as of April 1, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $246,227 ROU assets and approximately $247,325 lease liabilities, primarily related to operating leases of facilities. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities as of April 1, 2019, with no related impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity or consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the adoption date of April 1, 2019 or the commencement date, whichever is earlier, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since the implicit rate for the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company use its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment and over a similar term.

Lease terms used to calculate the present value of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as the Company does not have reasonable certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. The Company generally consider the economic life of its operating lease ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception, therefore operating lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Its leases generally do not provide a residual guarantee. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company reviews the impairment of its ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of operating lease liabilities in any tested asset group and include the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows.

(u)

Significant risks and uncertainties

1)	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 these assets to credit risk is their carrying amount as of the balance sheet dates. On December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, approximately $71,000 and $1,950,000, respectively, was deposited with a bank in the United States which is insured by the U.S. government up to $250,000. On December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, approximately $1,083,000 and $3,070,000, respectively, were deposited in financial institutions located in mainland China, which were insured by the government authority. Under the Deposit Insurance System in China, a company’s deposits at one bank is insured for a maximum of approximately $70,000 (RMB500,000). 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 government policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, rates and methods of taxation and other factors.

In measuring the credit risk of accounts receivables due from the automobile purchasers (the “customers”), the Company mainly reflects the “probability of default” by the customer on its contractual obligations and considers the current financial position of the customer and the risk exposures to the customer and its likely future development. However, as the Company only commenced the automobile transaction and related services since November 2018, there was limited historic default data and other information to make an estimate on the expected credit losses. Historically, most of the automobile purchasers would pay the Company their previously defaulted amounts within one to three months. As a result, the Company would provide full provisions on accounts receivable if the customers default on repayments for over three months. As of December 31, 2019, the Company provided an allowance for doubtful accounts of $84,415, which represents due from automobile purchasers.

In measuring the credit risk of accounts receivables due from the borrowers and investors (the “P2P customers”), the Company mainly reflects the “probability of default” by the P2P customer on its contractual obligations and considers the current financial position of the P2P customer and the risk exposures to the P2P customer and its likely future development. Historically, most of the borrowers would pay the transaction fee within one year upon (i) disbursement of the proceeds for loans or (ii) full payment of principal and interest of loan. Most of investors would pay the service fee within one year upon receipt of their investment returns. On October 17, 2019, the Board approved the Plan for the Company to discontinue and wind down its online lending services business. As a result, the Company re-evaluated its accounts receivables from the P2P customers and decided to write off accounts receivable of $143,337 that has not been received as of December 31, 2019.

2)	Liquidity risk and going concern

The Company is also exposed to liquidity risk, which may limit the Company’s ability to access capital resources and have 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 stockholders to obtain short-term funds to meet the liquidity requirements.

The Company’s management has considered whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern due to the Company’s (1) recurring losses from operations, including approximately $4.8 million net loss attributable to the Company’s stockholders for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, (2) accumulated deficit of approximately $19.8 million as of December 31, 2019 and (3) negative operating cash flows of approximately $7.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019.

In evaluating if there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, the Company’s management is seeking to alleviate the going concern risk through (1) cash and cash equivalents generated from operations, (2) financing from PRC banks and other financial institutions, and (3) equity financing. The Company has certain plans to mitigate these adverse conditions and to increase the Company’s liquidity. The Company has an unused credit line of RMB400 million (approximately USD56.2 million) from a bank is China (see Note 11(ii)) which could be used as its needs to raise its working capital. The Company also has access to a universal shelf registration statement that could provide it with access to equity financing over the next twelve months. The Company believes that the available cash and cash equivalents, together with the available sources of financing from a PRC bank or equity financing should enable the Company to meet presently anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of these issuance of the accompanying financial statements.

However, there is a risk that the Company may face shortfalls in liquidity and that will be unable to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be unable to grow its business and may be required to reduce or refocus its operations, which could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

3)	Foreign currency risk

As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, substantially all of the Company’s operating activities and major assets and liabilities, except for the cash deposit of approximately $1,078,000 and $3,070,000, respectively, in U.S. dollars, are denominated in RMB, which are not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place through either 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 a payment application together with invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to change in central government policies and international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. When 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. As of December 31, 2019, RMB were depreciated from 6.71 RMB into US$1.00 at March 31, 2019 to 6.96 RMB into US$1.00 at December 31, 2019.

VIE risk

The Company believes that the VIE Agreements and the Voting Agreement are in compliance with PRC law and are legally enforceable. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements.

The shareholders of Sichuan Senmiao are also shareholders of the Company and therefore have no current interest in seeking to act contrary to the contractual arrangements. However, if the shareholders of Sichuan Senmiao were to reduce their interest in the Company, their interests may diverge from that of the Company and that may potentially increase the risk that they would seek to act contrary to the contractual terms. However, the other shareholders of Jinkailong are not shareholders of the Company and there is a risk they may act in contrary to the interests of the shareholders of the Company.

The Company cannot assure that when conflicts of interest arise, the shareholders of Sichuan Senmiao or the other shareholders of Jinkailong will act in the best interests of the Company or that conflicts of interests will be resolved in the Company’s favor. In addition, the Company’s ability to control Sichuan Senmiao and Jinkailong via the VIE Agreements and Voting Agreement may not be as effective as direct equity ownership.

Further, the VIE Agreements or the Voting Agreement may not be enforced in China if the PRC government or courts consider those contracts contravene PRC laws and regulations or otherwise not enforceable for public policy reasons. If the VIE Agreements or the Voting Agreement were found to be in violation of any existing PRC laws and regulations, the PRC government could:

revoke the Company’s business and operating licenses;

require the Company to discontinue or restrict operations;

restrict the Company’s right to collect revenues;

block the Company’s websites;

require the Company to restructure the operations in such a way as to compel the Company to establish a new enterprise, re-apply for the necessary licenses or relocate our businesses, staff and assets;

impose additional conditions or requirements with which the Company may not be able to comply; or

take other regulatory or enforcement actions against the Company that could be harmful to the Company’s business.

(v)

Recently issued accounting standards

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities. ASU 2018-17 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 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 unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance ASU 2016-13 for recognition of credit losses on financial instruments, which is effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted on January 1, 2019. The guidance introduces a new credit reserving model known as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model, which is based on expected losses, and differs significantly from the incurred loss approach used today. The CECL model requires measurement of expected credit losses not only based on historical experience and current conditions, but also by including reasonable and supportable forecasts incorporating forward-looking information and will likely result in earlier recognition of credit reserves. The Company does not intend to adopt the new standard early and is currently evaluating the impact the new guidance will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows; however, it is expected that the new CECL model will alter the assumptions used in calculating credit losses on loans, finance lease receivables, other receivables, prepayments, contingent liabilities from guarantee services, among other financial instruments, and may result in material changes to the Company’s credit reserves.

CECL adoption will have broad impact on the financial statements of financial services firms, which will affect key profitability and solvency measures. Some of the more notable expected changes include:

-	Higher allowance on financial guarantee reserve and finance lease receivable levels and related deferred tax assets. While different asset types will be impacted differently, the expectation is that reserve levels will generally increase across the board for all financial firms.

-	Increased reserve levels may lead to a reduction in capital levels.

As a result of higher reserving levels, the expectation is that CECL will reduce cyclicality in financial firms’ results, as higher reserving in “good times” will mean that less dramatic reserve increases will be loan related income (which will continue to be recognized on a periodic basis based on the effective interest method) and the related credit losses (which will be recognized up front at origination). This will make periods of loan expansion seem less profitable due to the immediate recognition of expected credit losses. Periods of stable or declining loan levels will look comparatively profitable as the income trickles in for loans, where losses had been previously recognized.

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

3.	ACQUISITION OF HUNAN RUIXI AND ITS VIE

4.	DISCONTIUED OPERATIONS

On October 17, 2019, the Board approved the Plan under which the Company has discontinued and is winding down its online P2P lending services business. The Company determined that the continued operation of its online P2P lending services business was not viable in light of the recently tightened regulations on online peer-to-peer lending in China generally and the unofficial request from local regulator to reduce the Company’s online peer-to-peer lending transaction volume on a monthly basis. The Company also determined that the discontinuation of its online P2P lending services business would allow the Company to focus its resources on its automobile financing facilitation and transaction business. In connection with the Plan, the Company ceased facilitation of loan transactions on its online lending platform and assumed all the outstanding loans from investors on the platform. The decision and action taken by the Company of discontinuing the online lending services business represented a major shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, which triggers discontinued operations accounting in accordance with ASC 205-20-45.

EQUITY

Warrants

IPO Warrants

The registration statement relating to the Company’s IPO also included the underwriters’ common stock purchase warrants to purchase 337,940 shares of common stock (“Underwriter’s Warrants”). Each five-year warrant entitles warrant holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at the price of $4.80 per share and is not exercisable for a period of 180 days from March 16, 2018. On March 15, 2019, the underwriters elected to exercise 300,000 shares of the Purchase Warrants on a cashless basis in exchange for common stock. On April 5, 2019, the Company issued a total of 65,855 shares of common stock to the underwriters as a result of the cashless exercise of 300,000 Underwriter’s Warrants. As the date of the issuance of these financial statements, there were 37,940 Underwriter’s Warrants outstanding.

Registered Direct Offering Warrants

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 815 on determining what types of instruments or embedded features in an instrument held by a reporting entity can be considered indexed to its own stock for the purpose of evaluating the first criteria of the scope exception in ASC 815. Warrants issued in connection with the direct equity offering with exercise prices denominated in US dollars are no longer considered indexed to the Company’s stock, as their exercise price is not in the Company’s functional currency (RMB), and therefore no longer qualify for the scope exception and must be accounted for as a derivative. These warrants are classified as liabilities under the caption “Derivative liabilities” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of balance sheets and recorded at estimated fair value at each reporting date, computed using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Changes in the liability from period to period are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss under the caption “Change in fair value of derivative liabilities.”

The Company allocated the proceeds received between the common stock and warrants first to warrants based on the fair value on the date the proceeds were received with the balance to common stock. The value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the following assumptions: volatility 86%; risk free interest rate 1.77%; dividend yield of 0% and expected term of 4 years of the Investor Series A Warrants, 1 year of the Series B Warrants, and 4 years of the Placement Warrants. The volatility of the Company’s common stock was estimated by management based on the historical volatility of its common stock, the risk free interest rate was based on Treasury Constant Maturity Rates published by the U.S. Federal Reserve for periods applicable to the expected life of the warrants. The expected dividend yield was based on the Company’s current and expected dividend policy and the expected term is equal to the contractual life of the warrants. The value of the warrants was based on the Company’s common stock closing price of $2.80 on the date the warrants were issued. Net proceeds were allocated as the follows:

Warrants	$	3,150,006
Common stock		1,992,118
Total net proceeds	$	5,142,124

Subsequent to the initial recording, the change in the fair value of the warrants, determined under the Black-Scholes valuation model, at each reporting date will result in either an increase or decrease the amount recorded as liability, based on the fluctuations with the Company’s stock price with a corresponding adjustment to other income (or expense). During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, the change of fair value was a loss of $485,400 and a gain of $1,509,406, respectively, recognized in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss based on the decrease in fair value of the liabilities since granted. The fair value of derivative instrument of $1,010,752 was allocated to additional paid-in-capital upon exercise of warrants as of the exercise date. At December 31, 2019, the fair value of the derivative instrument totaled $629,848.

The Company has outstanding warrants as following:

							Weighted		Average

On July 31, 2018, the Board approved the issuance of 5,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to each of the five directors as stock compensation for their services for the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2019. Total RSUs granted to the five directors were 25,000 for an aggregate fair value of $117,750. Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements (“Award Agreements”) on August 3, 2018, the RSUs vest in four equal quarterly installments on August 3, 2018, April 1, 2019, July 1, 2019 and October 1, 2019 or in full upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Award Agreements, provided that the director remains in service as a director through the applicable vesting date. The RSUs will be settled by the Company’s issuance of shares of common stock in certificated or uncertificated form upon the earlier of (i) a change in control and (ii) the director’s cessation as a director of the Company due to a “separation of service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the director’s death or disability.

As of March 31, 2019, the first installment of RSUs vested and the Company accounted for the vested RSUs as an addition to both expenses and additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the vested RSUs is calculated at the grant date market price of the Company’s common stock multiplying by the number of vested shares.

On December 11, 2019, the Board approved the issuance of 30,303 RSUs to each of the Company’s five directors as stock compensation for their services for the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2020.

The Series A warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance at an exercise price of $3.72 per share and will expire on the fourth (4th) anniversary of the original issue date. In the event that on December 20, 2019, the exercise price is greater than the Six Month Adjustment Price as defined below, on the trading day immediately following December 20, 2019 (the “Six Month Measuring Date”), the exercise price shall automatically adjust to the Six Month Adjustment Price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events). Six Month Adjustment Price means the greater of (x) $1.50 (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction) and (y) 100% of the quotient of (I) the sum of the five lowest VWAPs of the common stock during the ten consecutive trading day period ending and including the Six Month Measuring Date, divided by (II) five. All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction during such period. The exercise price of the Series A warrant was adjusted from $3.72 to $1.50 per share on December 20, 2019.

The Series B warrants are pre-funded warrants and are being issued as a true-up with respect to the shares of common stock. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series B warrants is 1,116,320. Initially, the Series B warrants shall not be exercisable for any shares of common stock. In the event that on the fiftieth (50th) day after the closing date (the “Adjustment Measuring Time”), the closing price of the common stock is less than the Share Purchase Price, then the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series B warrants shall be adjusted (upward or downward, as applicable) to the greater of (i) zero (0) and (ii) such aggregate number of shares of common stock equal to fifty percent (50%) of the difference of (A) the quotient of (x) the Share Purchase Price divided by (y) the Market Price (as defined in Purchase Agreement) as of the Adjustment Measuring Time, less (B) the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued to the investors at the closing (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, share combinations, recapitalizations and similar events). During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,113,187 shares of common stock to certain investors in the June 2019 offering upon exercise of the pre-funded Series B warrants for a total consideration of $111.

INCOME TAXES

The United States of America

The Company is incorporated in the State of Nevada in the U.S., and is subject to U.S. federal corporate income taxes. The State of Nevada does not impose any state corporate income tax.

The Company’s net operating loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 amounted to approximately $846,000. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s net operating loss carryforward for U.S. income taxes was approximately $2.1 million. The net operating loss carryforward is available to reduce future years’ taxable income through year 2039. Management believes that the utilization of the benefit from this loss appears uncertain due to the Company’s operating history. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset to reduce the deferred tax assets to zero on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets were approximately $0.45 million and $0.27 million, respectively. Management reviews the valuation allowance periodically and makes changes accordingly.

PRC

Senmiao Consulting, Sichuan Senmiao, Hunan Ruixi, Ruixi Leasing, Jinkailong, and Yicheng are subject to PRC Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) on the taxable income in accordance with the relevant PRC income tax laws. The EIT rate for companies operating in the PRC is 25%.

Income taxes in the PRC are consist of:

The Company reviews deferred tax assets for a valuation allowance based upon whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized. At March 31, 2019, full valuation allowance is provided against the deferred tax assets based upon management’s assessment as to their realization. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, the Company utilized deferred tax assets of approximately $31,000 related to the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards.

The tax effects of temporary differences from continuing operations that give rise to the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

The Company reviews deferred tax assets for a valuation allowance based upon whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized. At December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, full valuation allowance is provided against the deferred tax assets based upon management’s assessment as to their realization.

LEASE

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the package of practical expedients that does not require the Company to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. The impact of the adoption of the ASC 842, as of April 1, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $246,227 ROU assets and approximately $247,325 lease liabilities, primarily related to leases of facilities. The ROU and lease liabilities are determined based on the present value of the future minimum rental payments of the lease as of the adoption date, using an effective interest rate of 6.0%, which is determined using an incremental borrowing rate with similar term in the PRC. The average remaining lease term of its existing leases is 2.34 years. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities as of April 1, 2019, with no related impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity or consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company occupies various offices under operating lease agreements with a term shorter than 12 months which it elected not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities under ASC 842. Instead, the Company recognized the lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Rental expenses from continuing operations totaled $50,690 and $16,402 for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Rental expenses from discontinued operations totaled $27,077 and $30,747 for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Rental expenses from continuing operations totaled $202,751 and $16,402 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Rental expenses from discontinued operations totaled $84,192 and $97,116 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The following table sets forth the Company’s minimum lease payments in future periods:

	Lease payments
Twelve months ending December 31, 2020	$	374,112
Twelve months ending December 31, 2021		192,968

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments

From January 1, 2020 through the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company entered into two contracts with two automobile dealers for the purchase of a total of 21 automobiles for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $348,000. These purchase transactions are expected to be completed by the end of 2020.

Contingencies

In measuring the credit risk of guarantee services to automobile purchasers, the Company primarily reflects the “probability of default” by the automobile purchasers on its contractual obligations and considers the current financial position of the automobile purchasers and its likely future development.

The Company manages the credit risk of automobile purchasers by performing preliminary credit checks of each automobile purchaser and ongoing monitoring every month. By using the current credit loss model, management is of the opinion that the Company is bearing the credit risk to repay the principal and interests to the financial institutions if automobile purchasers default on their payments for more than three months. Management also periodically re-evaluates probability of default of automobile purchasers to make adjustments in the allowance when necessary.

However, as the Company commenced the automobile transaction and related services for less than one year, there was no sufficient historic default data and other information to make an estimate on the expected credit losses. Historically, most of the automobile purchasers would pay the Company their previous defaulted amounts within one to three months. Therefore, for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, the Company did not provide provisions for the guarantee services. As of December 31, 2019, the maximum contingent liabilities the Company exposed to would be approximately $18,901,000 if all the automobile purchasers defaulted, among which approximately $553,000 would be due to Sichuan Senmiao after the assumption of all the loans in accordance with the Plan. Automobiles are used as collateral to secure the payment obligations of the automobile purchasers under the financing agreements. The Company estimated the fair market value of the collateral to be approximately $15,540,000 as of December 31, 2019, based on the market price and the useful life of such collateral, which represents about 82.2% of the contingent liabilities.

Item 2.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read together with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report”) filed with the SEC. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our financial statements and the financial information included in this report reflect our organizational transactions and have been prepared as if our current corporate structure had been in place throughout the relevant periods.

Overview

We are a provider of automobile transaction and related services, connecting auto dealers, financial institutions, and consumers, who are mostly existing and prospective ride-hailing drivers affiliated with Didi Chuxing Technology Co., Ltd. (“Didi”), a major transportation network company in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”) , operating the largest ride-hailing platform in China. We provide automobile transaction and related services through our majority owned subsidiary, Hunan Ruixi Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. (“Hunan Ruixi”), a PRC limited liability company, and its variable interest entity (“VIE”), Sichuan Jinkailong Automobile Leasing Co., Ltd. (“Jinkailong”). Substantially all of our operations are conducted in China.

We also operated an online lending platform through our VIE, Sichuan Senmiao Ronglian Technology Co., Ltd. (“Sichuan Senmiao”), in China, which facilitated loan transactions between Chinese investors and individual and SME borrowers. As more fully discussed below under “ – Our Online Lending Services,” we ceased our online lending services in October 2019 to focus more on our automobile transaction and related services.

Our Automobile Transactions and Related Services (the “Auto Business”)

Our automobile transaction and related services are mainly comprised of (i) facilitation of automobile transaction and financing where we connect the prospective ride-hailing drivers to financial institutions to buy, or get financing on the purchase of, cars to be used to provide ride-hailing services; (ii) automobile sales where we procure new cars from dealerships and sell them to our customers in the automobile financing facilitation business; and (iii) automobile financing where we provide our customers with auto finance solutions through financing leases. We started our facilitation services in November 2018, the sale of automobiles in January 2019 and financial leasing in March 2019.

As of December 31, 2019, we facilitated financing for an aggregate of 1,553 automobiles with a total value of approximately $22.1 million, sold an aggregate of 1,318 automobiles with a total value of approximately $12.6 million and delivered 92 automobiles under financing leases to customers, the vast majority of whom are ride-hailing drivers. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we facilitated financing for 264 automobiles with a total value of approximately $4.1 million, sold an aggregate of 207 automobiles with a total value of approximately $1.9 million and delivered 11 automobiles with a total value of approximately $0.1 million under financing leases to the customers. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, we facilitated financing for 1,242 automobiles with a total value of approximately $18.2 million, sold an aggregate of 1,106 automobiles with total value of approximately $10.8 million and delivered 92 automobiles with a total value of approximately $1.4 million under financing leases to the customers. Our auto financing and transaction facilitation business and auto sales business accounted for 19.9% and 79.4% of our total revenue, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 while our auto financial leasing business generated less than 1% of our revenue.

Key Factors and Risks Affecting Results of Operations of Our Automobile Transactions and Related Services

Ability to Increase the Automobile Purchaser Base

Our revenue growth has been largely driven by the expansion of our automobile purchaser base and the corresponding increase in the amount of automobile transactions facilitated through us. We acquire customers for our automobile transaction and financing services through the network of third-party sales teams, referral from Didi and our own efforts including online advertising and billboard advertising. We also send out flyers and participate in trade shows to advertise our services. We plan to strengthen our partnerships with existing sales teams by improving the quality and variety of our services. We will also strengthen our marketing efforts through our own team by employing more experienced staffs and setting up new service centers in the cities of Chengdu and Changsha in 2020. As of December 31, 2019, we had 29 employees in our own sales department and have cooperated with 45 third party sales teams with about 285 professionals.

Our Service Offerings and Pricing

The growth of our revenue depends on our ability to improve existing solutions and services provided, continue identifying evolving business needs, refine our collaboration model with financial institutions and provide value-added services to our customers. The attraction of new automobile purchasers depends in part on our collaboration with financial institutions to offer more attractive automobile financing solutions with competitive interest rates to our automobile purchasers. Furthermore, our product designs affect the type of automobile purchasers we attract, which in turn affects our financial performance. Our revenue growth also depends on our abilities to effectively price our services and the ability to obtain relatively lower expenditure paid to dealers, insurance companies and other service providers, which enables us to attract more customers and improve our profit margin.

Ability to Retain Existing Financial Institutions and Engage New Financial Institutions

During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, nearly 96% of the automobile purchasers had financed their purchase of automobiles through financial institutions. As of December 31, 2019, over 95% of the automobile purchasers we serviced had financed their purchase of automobiles through financial institutions. As such the growth of our business is dependent on our ability to retain existing financial institutions and engage new financial institutions. We have established collaboration with night financial institutions and plan to expand our collaboration with more financial institutions to access lower cost capital and provide more financing sources to our customers. Our collaborations with financial institutions may be affected by factors beyond our control, such as perception of automobile financing as an attractive asset class, stability of financial institutions, general economic conditions and regulatory environment. Our ability to increase the number of our cooperative financial institutions will enhance the overall stability and sufficiency of funding for automobile transactions.

Ability to Pay for the Automobile Purchase Price and Expenditure in Advance

We prepay the purchase price of automobiles and all service expenses when we provide related services to the purchasers. Pursuant to the affiliation agreements with automobile purchasers, we collect from them monthly installment payments (including principal and interest), our management and guarantee services fees and our advance payment for expenses. We also collect part of our automobile purchase price and purchase services fees from automobile purchasers through monthly installment payments. As of December 31, 2019, we had accounts receivable of $3.2 million and advanced payments of approximately $4.6 million due from the automobile purchasers, which will be collected through proceeds disbursed from financial institutions and installment payments on a monthly basis during the relevant affiliation periods.

The accounts receivable and advance payments may increase our liquidity risk. Jinkailong has borrowed money from financial institutions, third parties and related parties to fund the advance payments. We used proceeds from our equity offerings and plan to seek more equity and/or debt financing to pay for the expenditure related to the automobile purchase. Our ability to pay for the expenditure in advance will enhance the stability of our daily operation and lower the liquidity risk, and attract more customers.

Ability to Collect Payments and Deal with Defaults Effectively

We collect the monthly installment payments from automobile purchasers and repay financial institutions on behalf of the purchasers every month. We are exposed to credit risk as we are required by certain financial institutions to provide guarantee on the lease/loan payments (including principal and interests) of the automobile purchasers referred by us. If a default occurs, we are required to make the monthly payments on behalf of the defaulted purchasers to the financial institution.

We manage the credit risk arising from the default of automobile purchasers by performing credit checks on each automobile purchaser based on the credit reports from People’s Bank of China and third party credit rating companies, and personal information including residence, ethnicity group, driving history and involvement in legal proceeding. Our post-transaction management department continuously monitors the payment by each purchaser and send them payment reminders. We also keep close communication with our purchasers in particular the ride-hailing drivers so that we can evaluate their financial conditions and provide them with assistance including the transfer of automobile to a new driver if they are no longer interested in providing ride-hailing services or are unable to earn enough income to make monthly lease/loan payments.

In addition, automobiles are used as collateral to secure purchasers’ payment obligations under the financing arrangement. In the event of a default, we can track the automobile through an installed GPS system and repossess and handover the automobile over to the financial institution so that we can be released from our guarantee liability.

As of December 31, 2019, we have an outstanding balance of installment payments receivable in the aggregate of $599,019 from approximately 510 automobile purchasers, of which, over 40% were due within 3 months. Historically, most of the defaulted automobile purchasers would pay us the default amounts within one to three months. However, if the balances are overdue for more than 3 months, we would fully record allowance against receivables from those purchasers. We did not record any contingent liabilities as of December 31, 2019 as we commenced our automobile transaction and related service business for approximately one year, there was no sufficient default historical data and other information for us to make an estimate. As of December 31, 2019, allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to only $227,239, or 2.9% of total accounts receivable. Therefore, we believe our credit risk exposure is immaterial.

Meanwhile, the automobiles subject to our financing leases are not collateralized by us. As of December 31, 2019, the total value of non-collateralized automobiles was approximately $1,265,682. We believe our risk exposure is immaterial as we just commenced our financing services in late March 2019 and have experienced no default to date.

Actual and Potential Impact of Coronavirus Outbreak in China on our Business

A strain of novel coronavirus causing respiratory illness emerged in the city of Wuhan in Hubei Province in December 2019. The Chinese government has taken certain emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus, including extending the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday, postponing the spring semesters of schools and universities, and adopting transport restrictions in various areas. Due to the extended holiday and travel restrictions, we expect a majority of our automobile purchasers who are online ride-hailing drivers will be adversely affected by the epidemic as the demand for ride hailing car services is expected to be very limited.

In an effort to assist our automobile purchasers, we have been negotiating with the financial institutions we cooperate with to extend the due dates for monthly payments that may be affected by the epidemic. Certain financial institutions have agreed to grant a grace period for qualified drivers. While the limitations on movement in the regions where the ride-hailing drivers are located are expected to be relatively temporary, the duration of the disruption on travel, and related impact on the ride-hailing drivers, cannot be estimated at this time. Any prolonged disruption would have a material adverse effect on our automobile purchases and our results of operations and cash flows.

If the epidemic situation in China does not improve during our fourth fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2020, our automobile purchasers may be unable to generate sufficient income to pay their monthly installments and the financial institutions may not agree to further extend the due dates, thus creating a significant risk of continuing default form our automobile purchasers, In this scenario, we may have to repay the defaulted amount as a guarantor. Meanwhile, the collection of our receivables due from those automobile purchasers may also be adversely affected and result to an increasing credit risk. If we experience a widespread default by our automobile purchasers, our cash flow and results of operations will be materially adversely affected. As a consequence, we could face shortfalls in liquidity without extra financing resources for the foreseeable future and we will be unable grow our business, and may be required to reduce or refocus our operations, which may raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Ability to Compete Effectively

Our business and results of operations depend on our ability to compete effectively. Overall, our competitive position may be affected by, among other things, our service quality and our ability to price our solutions and services competitively. We will set up and continuously optimize our own business system to improve our service quality and user experience. Our competitors may have more resources than we do, including financial, technological, marketing and others and may be able to devote greater resources to the development and promotion of their services. We will need to continue to introduce new or enhance existing solutions and services to continue to attract automobile dealers, financial institutions, car buyers and other industry participants. Whether and how quickly we can do so will have a significant impact on the growth of our business.

Market Opportunity and Government Regulations in China

The demand for our services depends on overall market conditions of the ride-hailing industry in China. The continuous growth of the urban population places increasing pressure on the urban transportation and the improvement of living standards has increased the market demand for quality travel in China. Traditional taxi service is limited, and the merging online platforms have created good opportunities for the development of the online ride-hailing service market. Based on the monitoring of China E-Commerce Research Center, the number of online ride-hailing service users had reached 333 million by the end of 2018, increased by 16% from 2017. According to Bain & Company, the transaction value of China's online ride-hailing market in 2017 was larger than the total of the rest of the world. It estimated that by 2021, the total transaction value of China's online ride-hailing market will reach $60 billion. In the second half of 2018, in addition to the leading online ride-hailing platforms such as Didi and China Auto Rental, another nine auto-makers, including FAW, Dongfeng, Chang’an, Volkswagen, Great Wall, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, SAIC and BMW, announced their plan to launch online ride-hailing services. The ride-hailing industry is facing increasing competition in China and is attracting more capital investment. In 2019, in addition to the traditional online ride-hailing platform, automobile manufacturers, offline operation service companies, financial and map service providers, among others, have built cooperation relationships with each other to make the online ride-hailing industry a more aggregated industry. In March 2019, T3, a new travel service company, was established in Nanjing and subsequently in other cities, including Wuhan and Chongqing and has accumulated over 1 million registered users since March 2019. T3 is jointly invested by three large automobile manufacturers, FAW, Dongfeng and Chang’an, and leading internet, retail and finance companies such as Suning, Tencent and Alibaba and intends to compete with Didi and capitalize on the great potential of the ride-hailing market. As at the end of December 2019, Alibaba, together with its affiliate, has invested in or acquired more than 30 enterprises in the fields related to ride-hailing, including Hello travel, Yongan travel, Didi, Gaode software, Xiaopeng Automobile and others covering the ride-hailing whole industry chain.

The online ride-hailing industry also may be affected by, among other factors, the general economic conditions in China. The interest rates and unemployment rates may affect the demand of ride-hailing services and automobile purchasers’ willingness to seek credit from financial institutions. Adverse economic conditions could also reduce the number of qualified automobile purchasers and online ride-hailing drivers seeking credit from the financial institutions, as well as their ability to make payments. Should any of those negative situations occur, the volume and value of the automobile transactions we service will decline, and our revenue and financial condition will be negatively impacted.

In order to manage the rapidly growing ride-hailing service market and control relevant risks, on July 28, 2016, seven ministries and commissions in China, including the Ministry of Transport, jointly promulgated the “Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Taxi Booking Business Operations and Services”, which legalizes online ride-hailing services such as Didi and requires the ride-hailing services to meet the requirements set out by the measures and obtain taxi-booking service licenses.

On November 5, 2016, the Municipal Communications Commission of Chengdu City and a number of municipal departments jointly issued the “Implementation Rules for the Administration of Online Booking Taxi Management Services for Chengdu.” On August 10, 2017, the Transportation Commission of Chengdu further issued the detailed guidance “Working Process for the Online Booking Taxi Drivers Qualification Examination and Issuance” and the “Online Booking Taxi Transportation Certificate Issuance Process.” According to these regulations and guidelines, three licenses /certificates are required for operating the online ride-hailing business in Chengdu: (1) the ride-hailing service platform such as Didi should obtain the online booking taxi operating license; (2) the automobiles used for online ride-hailing should obtain the online booking taxi transportation certificate (“automobile certificate”); (3) the drivers should obtain the online booking taxi driver's license (“driver’s license”).

On July 23, 2018, the General Office of Changsha Municipal People's Government issued the “Detailed Rules for the Administration of Online Booking Taxi Management Services for Changsha.” On June 12, 2019, the Municipal Communications Commission of Changsha City further issued “Transfer and Registration Procedures of Changsha Online Booking of Taxi.” According to the regulations and guidelines, to operate a ride-hailing business in Changsha requires similar licenses in Chengdu, except that automobiles used for online ride-hailing services are required to meet certain standards, including that the sales price (including taxes) is over RMB120,000. In practice, Hunan Ruixi is also required to employ a safety administrator for every 50 automobiles used for online ride-hailing services and submit daily operation information of these automobiles such as traffic violation to the Transport Management Office of the Municipal Communications Commission of Changsha City every month.

Didi, the online ride-hailing platform, with whom we cooperate, obtained the online reservation taxi operating license in Chengdu and Changsha in March 2017 and July 2018, respectively. However, approximately 9% of the cars used for online ride-hailing services which we provided management services to did not have the automobile certificate and approximately 70% of our ride-hailing drivers had not obtained the driver’s license as of December 31, 2019. Without requisite automobile certificate or driver’s license, these drivers may be suspended from providing ride-hailing services, confiscated their illegal income and subject to fines of up to 10 times of their illegal income. Starting in August 2019, Didi began limiting customer orders allocated to drivers in Chengdu if they do not have requisite driver’s license or the automobiles used for ride-hailing services lack the automobile certificate. Further, in December 2019, Didi began to enforce such limitation on drivers in Chengdu who have a driver’s license but operate automobiles without the automobile certificate. The limitation will affect the income of the drivers and may cause an increase in defaults if the drivers fail to generate sufficient income from providing ride-hailing services. We are in the process of assisting the drivers to obtain the required certificate and license. However, there is no guarantee that all of the drivers affiliated with us would be able to obtain all the certificate and license. Our business and results of operations will be materially affected if our affiliated drivers are suspended from providing ride-hailing services or imposed substantial fines.

As described above, China has been mobilizing a nationwide response to prevent and control the novel coronavirus outbreak since January 2020. All the industries in China, including our auto business, are expected to be materially adversely affected by the epidemic.

Due to the government mandated extension of holidays and closure of businesses, we did not have any operations in January 2020 and do not expect to be fully operational untill the end of February 2020. We therefore expect to experience a decrease in revenue for the last quarter of fiscal year 2020 compared with the same period in 2019. We do not know, and there can be no assurance, as to how long the epidemic will continue and when the restrictive measures will be lifted. We are closely monitoring the developments in China and continually assessing the potential impact on our business. Any prolonged restrictions on travel could materially negatively impact our cash flows, results of operations and business prospective.

Our Discontinued Online P2P Lending Services

Through our now discontinued online P2p lending platform, we offered access to credit for borrowers and attractive investment returns for investors. In September 2016, we acquired our online lending platform which had been in operation for two years prior to the acquisition.

Our revenues from online lending services were primarily generated from fees charged for our services in matching investors with borrowers. We charged borrowers transaction fees for the work we perform through our platform and charged our investors service fees on their actual investment returns.

The rapid growth of China’s online P2P lending industry has attracted a large number of market players. However, business failures of, or accusations of fraud and unfair dealing against, certain companies in the online P2P lending industry in China have surfaced in recent years, creating a negative public perception of online individual finance market players. Our business and results of operations were affected by general factors affecting China’s online P2P lending industry, in particular, the development of regulatory environment. Unfavorable regulatory changes had affected our business negatively. For example, in February 2019, the Chengdu financial regulatory authorities required us to gradually reduce our “business scale,” the daily average outstanding balance of loans facilitated by us. Specifically, the outstanding balance of our facilitated loans as of the end of each month starting in February 2019, is expected to be lower than that as of the end of prior month.

Furthermore, since April 2019, the financial authorities of serval provinces and cities, such as Yunnan, Shandong, Sichuan, Shanghai and Shenzhen, have issued lists of online lending companies under their jurisdiction that should exit the P2P lending industry after outstanding balance of loans is fully paid. On April 29, 2019, the Leading Group Office of Online Lending Risk Response of Sichuan Province officially issued a circular requiring 38 marketplaces exit the P2P lending industry. In October 2019, the financial authorities of Hunan and Shandong Provinces announced the failure of local P2P lending platforms to complete rectification and required that all P2P lending platforms in the province cease operations. Also in this month, Hubei Province revoked the business licenses of 53 P2P lending platforms. In December 2019, Sichuan Province announced the failure of local P2P lending platforms to complete rectification and required that all P2P lending platforms in the province cease operations.

As the P2P lending industry is experiencing a continuous decline in total transaction volume and facing an increasingly tighter regulatory environment, we have determined that the continued operation of our online lending business is not viable. On October 17, 2019, our Board of Directors approved a plan submitted by management (the “Plan”), to wind down and discontinue our online P2P lending business. Despite the discontinuation, we expect to receive minimal service fees following the discontinuation as loans having a term of 36 months remain outstanding. We also think the discontinuation of our online lending business would allow us to focus our resources on our Auto Business. As the revenue from our online lending services only accounted for 1.1% of our total revenue for the six months ended September 2019, we do not believe the discontinuation will have significant impact on our revenue. We plan to provide technology services through Sichuan Senmiao, which operated the online lending platform in the year 2020.

In connection with the Plan, we have ceased facilitation of loan transactions on our online lending platform and assumed all the outstanding loans from investors on the platform since October 17, 2019. The aggregate balance of the loans we assumed was approximately $5.6 million. As at December 31, 2019, we have used cash generated from our Auto Business and payments collected from borrowers in the aggregate of approximately $1.6 million to repay platform investors and we expect to repay 90% of them by December 31, 2020. However, if we could not generate enough cash flow to pay investors on time in accordance with the Plan, we may incur additional commitment liabilities in our financial statements during the following periods before we fully fulfill our Plan. As of December 31, 2019, we treated the online lending business as discontinued operations and recognized receivables from borrowers and payables to investors of approximately $4.0 million in our financial statements accordingly. Based on recent repayments collected from borrowers, we also recognized bad debt expenses of approximately $3.7 million for those receivables and $0.3 million for accounts receivable and prepayment for intangible assets related to our online lending services. However, the amount and timing of the actual allowance for bad debt may change based on evidence of collectability of the subject loans during the execution of the Plan. As part of the Plan, we have transferred certain employees who currently work on our online lending business, primarily the information technology staff, to provide a new website design and development service for customers. We may further terminate certain employees of the online lending business by December 31, 2020.

The estimated costs associated with the discontinuation of our online P2P lending business will be primarily comprised of employee severance and benefits expenses and an allowance for bad debt (i.e., debt that cannot be collected for borrowers on our lending platform, which would be used to repay the investors on the platform). We estimated that we would incur a one-time personnel-related charges of no more than $20,000 for employee severance and other related termination benefits. Severance payments are expected to be paid in full by December 31, 2020.

As a result of the discontinuation of our online lending services, we believe we can improve our operating cash flow by lowering our operating expenses and focusing more on maximizing our profitable Auto Business.

Revenues

Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2019 generated from our automobile transaction and related services, which increased by $2,626,843, or 2,212%, as compared with three months ended December 31, 2018.

We started generating revenue from automobile transaction and related services from November 22, 2018, the acquisition date of Hunan Ruixi. Revenue from our automobile transaction and related services includes sales revenue of automobiles, service fees from automobile purchase services, facilitation fees from automobile purchase, service fees from automobile management and guarantee services, interest income from financial leasing and other services fees, including commissions from insurance companies, which accounted for 72.4%, 12.8%, 0.8%, 4.7%, 1.6% and 7.7%, respectively, of the total revenue from automobile transaction and related services during the three months ended December 31, 2019. Because of the National Holiday and close to the year end, there is a seasonal decrease in our facilitated new automobiles for the three months ended December 31, 2019 as compared with the prior quarters in current year. But due to our business expansion in Chengdu and Changsha, our revenue increased as compared with the same period in the prior year.

However, in light of current measures and restrictions to combat the nationwide epidemic in China, although we believe there is huge market opportunity and rapid development of the ride-hailing service market in China, we expect to experience a decrease in our revenue from automobile transaction and related services for the three months ending March 31, 2020 as compared with the same period in the prior year. We also expect our revenue from sales of automobiles and automobile purchase services to continue to account for a majority of our revenues for the next twelve months; therefore, our business will remain vulnerable during the pendency of the coronavirus outbreak.

The following table sets forth the breakdown of revenues by revenue source for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:

	For the Three Months Ended December 31,
	2019		2018
	(unaudited)		(unaudited)
Revenue from automobile transactions and related services
- Revenues from sales of automobiles	$	1,987,433	$	-

- Financing revenues		44,149		-
- Other service fees		211,722		10,326

Total Revenue	$	2,745,579	$	118,736

Sales of automobiles

We started our sale of automobiles in January 2019 and generate revenues from sales of automobiles to the customers of Jinkailong, Hunan Ruixi and Mashangchuxing Automobile Leasing Co., Ltd. (“Mashang Chuxing”), a company in which we hold a minority interest. We sold an aggregate of 90,116 and one automobiles to the customers of Jinkailong, Hunan Ruixi and Mashang Chuxing during the three months ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

Service fees from automobile purchase services

We generate revenues from providing a series of automobile purchase services throughout the automobile purchase transaction process. The amount of these fees is based on the sales price of the automobiles and relevant services provided. Service fees from automobile purchase services increased by $281,697 as compared to the same period in 2018, mainly due to the increase in the number of facilitated new automobile purchases. We serviced 264 new automobile purchases with service fees ranging from $376 to $2,093 per automobile during the three months ended December 31, 2019, while we serviced 52 new automobile purchases with service fees ranging from $243 to $2,261 per automobile during the three months ended December 31, 2018.

Facilitation fees from automobile transactions

We also generate revenues from fees charged to third-party sales teams or the automobile purchasers for the facilitation of sales of automobiles. The amount of facilitation fee is based on the type of automobile and negotiation with each sales team or automobile purchaser. The fees charged to third-party sales teams or automobile purchasers are paid when the transactions are consummated. These fees are non-refundable upon the delivery of automobiles. Facilitation fees from automobile transaction increased by $4,607 as compared to the same period in 2018 due to the increase in the number of facilitated new automobiles purchase, partially offset by the decrease in the fees we charged. We facilitated 264 and 52 new automobile purchases during the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We charged facilitation fees of no more than $1,378 per automobile to third party sales teams and $2,147 to automobile purchasers during the three months ended December 31, 2018. The facilitation fees decreased to no more than $431 per automobile to third party sales teams and $1,580 to automobile purchasers, with an aim to attract more new purchasers and third party sales teams during the three months ended December 31, 2019. We expect facilitation fees for both third party sales teams and automobile purchasers in the next twelve months to remain at the same level and we also expect to experience a decrease in the proportion of revenue from facilitation fees from automobile transactions due to the low charge price and an expected increase in other revenue from the expansion of our Auto Business.

Service fees from automobile management and guarantee services

The vast majority of our customers are ride-hailing drivers who enter into affiliation service agreements with us pursuant to which we provide them post-transaction management services and guarantee services. Our fees average $792 per automobile for the affiliation period and are paid by the affiliated drivers on a monthly basis during the affiliation period. The increase of $107,561 in service fees from automobile management and guarantee services was attributed to the increase in the number of automobiles we served. We provided management and guarantee services for approximately 2,200 and 1,000 automobiles during the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Interest income from financial leasing

We started our financial leasing in March 2019 and generate interest income from providing financial leasing services to ride-hailing drivers. We also charge the customers of our automobile financing facilitation services interest on their monthly payments which cover purchase price of automobile and our services fees and facilitation fees for terms of 36 or 48 months. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we recognized total interest income of $44,149.

Other service fees

We generate other revenues from the commissions from insurance companies, rental income from operating lease and other miscellaneous service fees charged to the automobile buyers, which accounted for 50.0%, 7.4% and 42.6% of revenues from other service fees during the three months ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues represents the costs of automobiles sold. Cost of revenues increased by $1,901,405, or 100% since during the three months ended December 31, 2018 we did not have sale of automobiles and did not incur cost of revenues.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $844,174. Gross profit increased by $725,438 mainly due to the increase in the number of facilitated new automobile purchases and automobile sales from our automobile transaction and related services.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of salary and employee benefits, office rental expense, travel expenses, and other costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $529,913 for the three months ended December 31, 2018 to $1,339,238 for the three months ended December 31, 2019, representing an increase of $809,325. The increase was attributable to the selling, general and administrative expenses of our automobile transaction and related services since we commenced this business in November 2018.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for our automobile transaction and related services was $966,771 for the three months ended December 31, 2019, increased by $846,168 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2018. The increase was due to the expansion of our Auto Business. It mainly consists of an increase of $370,853 in salary and employee benefits, $149,415 in advertising and promotion, $120,220 in insurance, transportation and maintenances fees, $58,301 in rental and other office expenses, and $99,025 in allowance of bad debt.

Other costs such as audit fees, valuation fees and insurance expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $36,843, since we paid more professional fees for our acquisition of automobile financing and related services business in the three months ended December 31, 2018.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $17,248, resulting from the borrowings of Jinkailong from a financial institution for its working capital requirements.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

Warrants issued in our June 2019 registered direct offering were classified as liabilities under the caption “Derivative liabilities” in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and recorded at estimated fair value at each reporting date, computed using the Black-Scholes valuation model. In August and October 2019, we issued an aggregate of 1,113,187 shares of common stock to certain investors in the June 2019 offering upon exercise of the pre-funded Series B warrants for a total consideration of $111. The change in fair value of derivative liabilities for the three months ended December 31, 2019 derived from change of the fair values between December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, resulted in a loss of $485,400.

Income Tax Expense

Generally, our subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs in China are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in China at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards. Income tax benefits of $72,648 for the three months ended December 31, 2019 mainly represented the reversal of enterprise tax accrued in prior quarters of Jinkailong as it incurred loss during the three months ended December 31, 2019.

Other subsidiaries and consolidated VIE in China incurred cumulative losses and no tax expense were recorded. However, companies operating within China are required to adjust their net operating losses according to the Enterprise Income Tax Law of China, which can be carried forward to offset operating income for five years.

Net Loss

As a result of the foregoing, net loss from our continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $962,700, representing an increase of $556,069 from $406,631 for the three months ended of December 31, 2018.

Revenues

Revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 increased by $13,524,693, or 11,391%, as compared with nine months ended December 31, 2018. The increase was attributable to the expansion of our Auto Business.

Revenue from our automobile transaction and related services includes sales revenue of automobiles, service fees from automobile purchase services, facilitation fees from automobile purchase, service fees from automobile management and guarantee services, interest income from financial leasing and other services fees, including commissions from insurance companies, which accounted for 79.4%, 11.8%, 1.2%, 2.3%, 0.8% and 4.5%, respectively, of the total revenue from automobile transaction and related services. In light of the huge market opportunity and rapid development of the ride-hailing service market in China, we expect to experience an increase in our revenue from automobile transaction and related services for the next twelve months. We also expect our revenue from sales of automobiles and automobile purchaser services to continue to account for a majority of our revenues for the next twelve months.

Sales of automobiles

We generate revenues from sales of automobiles to the customers of Jinkailong, Hunan Ruixi and Mashang Chuxing. We sold an aggregate of 825,270 and 11 automobiles to the customers of Jinkailong, Hunan Ruixi and Mashang Chuxing during the nine months ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

Service fees from automobile purchase services

We generate revenues from providing a series of automobile purchase services throughout the automobile purchase transaction process. The amount of these fees is based on the sales price of the automobiles and relevant services provided. Service fees from automobile purchase services increased by $1,538,707 as compared to the same period in 2018, mainly due to the increase in the number of facilitated new automobile purchases. We serviced 1,242 new automobile purchases with service fees ranging from $88 to $3,646 per automobile during the nine months ended December 31, 2019.

Facilitation fees from automobile transactions

We also generate revenues from fees charged to third-party sales teams or the automobile purchasers for the facilitation of sales of automobiles. The amount of facilitation fee is based on the type of automobile and negotiation with each sales team or automobile purchaser. The fees charged to third-party sales teams or automobile purchasers are paid when the transactions are consummated. These fees are non-refundable upon the delivery of automobiles. Facilitation fees from automobile transaction increased by $147,870 as compared to the same period in 2018 due to the increase in the number of facilitated new automobiles purchase. We facilitated 1,242 and 52 new automobile purchases during the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We charged facilitation fees of no more than $1,378 per automobile to third party sales teams and $2,147 to automobile purchasers during the three months ended December 31, 2018 while the facilitation fees changed to no more than $1,839 per automobile to third party sales teams and $2,155 to automobile purchasers. We expect facilitation fees for both third party sales teams and automobile purchasers to remain at the same level in the next twelve months and we also expect to experience a decrease in the proportion of revenue from facilitation fees from automobile transactions due to the low charge price and expected increase in other revenue from the expansion of our Auto Business.

Service fees from automobile management and guarantee services

The vast majority of our customers are ride-hailing drivers of Didi, who enter into affiliation service agreements with us pursuant to which we provide them post-transaction management services and guarantee services. Our fees average $792 per automobile for the affiliation period and are paid by the affiliated drivers on a monthly basis during the affiliation period. The increase of $292,216 in service fees from automobile management and guarantee services was attributed to the increase in the number of automobiles we served. We provided management and guarantee services for over 2,400 automobiles during the nine months ended December 31, 2019.

Interest income from financial leasing

We generate interest income from providing financial leasing services to ride-hailing drivers. We also charge the customers of our automobile financing facilitation services interest on their monthly payments which cover purchase price of automobile and our services fees and facilitation fees for terms of 36 or 48 months. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, we recognized total interest income of $105,413.

Other service fees

We generate other revenues from the commissions from insurance companies, rental income from operating lease and other miscellaneous service fees charged to the automobile buyers, which accounted for 69.4%, 6.7% and 23.9% of revenues from other service fees during the nine months ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues represents the costs of automobiles sold. Cost of revenues increased by $10,632,901, or 100% since during the nine months ended December 31, 2018 we only provided online lending services and did not incur cost of revenues.

Gross Profit

Gross profit from continuing operations was $3,010,528. Gross profit increased by $2,891,792 mainly due to the increase in the number of facilitated new automobile purchases and automobile sales from our automobile transaction and related services.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of salary and employee benefits, office rental expense, travel expenses, and other costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $1,028,314 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 to $3,486,410 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, representing an increase of $2,458,096. The increase was attributable to the selling, general and administrative expenses of our automobile transaction and related services since we commenced this business in November 2018 and significantly expanded the business operations in the nine months ended December 31, 2019.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for our automobile transaction and related services was $2,484,157 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, increased by $2,363,554 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2018. The increase was mainly consists of an increase of $1,032,837 in salary and employee benefits, $353,393 in advertising and promotion, $315,670 in rental and other office expenses, $280,537 in insurance, transportation and maintenances fees, $227,539 in allowance of bad debt, $58,549 in depreciation of our property and equipment and $94,329 other miscellaneous expenses.

Other costs such as salary and employee benefits of senior management, audit fees and insurance expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 increased by $94,542 due to the significant expansion of our automobile financing and related services business and efforts to improve our corporate governance in the nine months ended December 31, 2019.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 was $79,593, resulting from the borrowings of Jinkailong from a financial institution, third parties and related parties for its working capital requirements.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

Warrants issued in our June 2019 registered direct offering were classified as liabilities under the caption “Derivative liabilities” in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and recorded at estimated fair value at each reporting date, computed using the Black-Scholes valuation model. In August and October 2019, we issued an aggregate of 1,113,187 shares of common stock to certain investors in the June 2019 registered direct offering upon exercise of the pre-funded Series B warrants for a total consideration of $111. The change in fair value of derivative liabilities for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 derived from change of the fair values between S December 31, 2019 and June 20, 2019, the date of issuance, resulted in a gain of $1,509,406.

Income Tax Expense

Generally, our subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs in China are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in China at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards. Income tax expense of $32,950 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 mainly represented the provision of enterprise income tax resulting from the taxable income of $133,896 from Hunan Ruixi, $376,347 from Jinkailong and $102,702 from Yicheng.

Other subsidiaries and consolidated VIE in China incurred cumulative losses and no tax expense were recorded. However, companies operating within China are required to adjust their net operating losses according to the Enterprise Income Tax Law of China which can be carried forward to offset operating income for five years.

Net Income

As a result of the foregoing, net income from continuing operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 was $867,617, representing an increase of $1,772,648 from net loss of $905,031 for the nine months ended of December 31, 2018.

Revenue

For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, we charged borrowers transaction fees ranging from 0.19% to 3% of the loan amount, which fees were paid upon (i) disbursement of the proceeds for loans which accrue interest on a monthly basis or (ii) full payment of principal and interest of loans which accrue interest on a daily basis. We also charged our investors a service fee of 8.00% of the interest that investors receive and the service fees were paid when the investors received interest payments. As the online P2P lending industry experienced a continuous decline in total transaction volume and facing an increasingly tighter regulatory environment in 2019, we determined that the continued operation of our online lending business was not viable. We have discontinued our online lending business since October 2019 but expect to continue to receive service fees following the discontinuation as loans with a term of 36 months remain outstanding.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for our online lending services was $5,423,340 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $3,770,562 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The increase mainly consisted of an increase of $4,036,281 in bad debt expenses, partially offset by the decrease of $276,951 in advertising and marketing expenses as we did not engage advertising and marketing firms to increase our publicity as we did following our initial public offering (“IPO”) in March 2018.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Intangible asset amortization for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 was $30,321 as compared to $233,562 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018, representing a decrease of $203,241. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in net book value of our online lending platform and related software as a result of the impairment charges of $1,225,073 and $266,534 recorded against for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 and six months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

Impairments of Intangible Assets

For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, we recognized the impairment loss of $264,958 on customer relationship of our online lending business as we decided to discontinue the online lending business in October 2019. For the nine months ended December 31, 2018, we did not recognize any impairment loss.

Net Loss

As a result of the foregoing, net loss from our discontinued operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 was $5,593,627, representing an increase of $4,009,997 from $1,583,630 for the nine months ended of December 31, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations primarily through proceeds from our equity offerings, stockholder loans, and cash flow from operations.

We had cash and cash equivalents of $1,173,521 as of December 31, 2019 as compared to $3,967,980 as of March 31, 2019 for our continuing operations. We had cash and cash equivalents of $9,520 as of December 31, 2019 as compared to $1,052,530 as of March 31, 2019 for our discontinued operations. We primarily hold our excess unrestricted cash in short-term interest-bearing bank accounts at financial institutions.

In December 2017, we entered into loan agreements with two stockholders, who agreed to grant lines of credit of approximating $955,000 and $159,000, respectively, to us for five years. The lines of credit are non-interest bearing, effective from January 2017. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, we repaid them in the aggregate amount of $870,249. As of December 31, 2019, the outstanding balances were $69,816 and $76,640, respectively.

On March 16, 2018, we closed our IPO of 3,000,000 shares of common stock. On March 28, 2018, we sold additional 379,400 shares of common stock upon exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. The offering price of the shares sold in the IPO was $4.00 per share. The total gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $13.5 million. After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us, the aggregate net proceeds totaled approximately $12.2 million.

On June 21, 2019, we closed a registered direct offering of common stock and warrants pursuant to our registration statement on Form S-3, as supplemented, for total gross proceeds of $6.0 million. The offering price of the shares sold in the offering was $3.38 per share. After deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses payable by us, the aggregate net proceeds totaled approximately $5.1 million.

We plan to use anticipated cash flows from operating activities and obtain loans from our bank credit facility and additional equity financing to expand our automobile transaction and related services business. We have considered whether there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to (1) our recurring losses from operations, including approximately $4.8 million net loss attributable to the our stockholders for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, (2) our accumulated deficit of approximately $19.8 million as of December 31, 2019 and (3) the fact that we had negative operating cash flows of approximately $7.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019.

In evaluating if there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, we are trying to alleviate the going concern risk through (1) cash and cash equivalents generated from operations, (2) financing from PRC banks and other financial institutions, and (3) equity financing. We have certain plans to mitigate these adverse conditions and to increase the liquidation. We have an unused credit line of RMB400 million (approximately US$56.2 million) from a bank is China which could be used as our needs to raise our working capital. We also have access to a universal shelf registration statement that could provide us with access to equity financing over the next twelve months. We believe that the available cash and cash equivalents, together with the available sources of financing from a PRC bank or equity financing should enable us to meet presently anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of the Report.

However, there is a risk that we may face shortfalls in liquidity and that will be unable to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be unable to grow our business and may be required to reduce or refocus our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of us.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As the date of the Report, we have the following off-balance sheet arrangements that are likely to have a future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations and liquidity:

Contingent Liabilities

We are exposed to credit risk as we are required by certain financial institutions to provide guarantee on the lease/loan payments (including principal and interests) of the automobile purchasers referred by us. As at December 31, 2019, the maximum contingent liabilities we were exposed to would be $18,901,000 if all the automobile purchasers defaulted, of which $553,000 would be due to the Sichuan Senmiao after the assumption of all the loans in accordance with the Plan, which may cause an increase in guarantee expense and cash outflow in financing activities.

Purchase Commitments

Subsequent to December 31, 2019 through the date of this Report, Hunan Ruixi entered into other two purchase contracts with an automobile dealer for the purchase of a total of 21 automobiles for sale and leasing for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $348,000. These purchase transactions will be completed by the end of 2020, which will lead to an increase in our inventory and cash outflow in operating activities.

Inflation

We do not believe our business and operations have been materially affected by inflation.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions on the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the end of each fiscal period, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each fiscal period. We continually evaluate these judgments and estimates based on our past experience, knowledge and assessments of current business and other conditions, our expectations regarding the future based on available information and assumptions.

Other than disclosed below, there have been no material changes during the nine months ended December 31, 2019 in our accounting policies from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

The selection of critical accounting policies, the judgments and other uncertainties affecting the application of those policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors that should be considered when reviewing our financial statements. We believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

(a)	Use of estimates

In presenting the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), management make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgement and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates and assumptions using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. we base our estimates on past experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, revenue recognition, residual values, lease classification and liabilities, finance lease receivables, inventory obsolescence, right-of-use assets, determinations of the useful lives and valuation of long-lived assets, estimates of allowances for doubtful accounts and prepayments, estimates of impairment of intangible assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, estimated fair value used in business acquisitions, valuation of derivative liabilities and other provisions and contingencies.

(b)

Fair values of financial instruments

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying value of us. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1

Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2

Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3

Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

(c)

Property and equipment

(d)

Derivative liabilities

A contract is designated as an asset or a liability and is carried at fair value on a company’s balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in a company’s results of operations. We then determine which options, warrants and embedded features require liability accounting and records the fair value as a derivative liability. The changes in the values of these instruments are shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as “change in fair value of derivative liabilities”.

(e)

Revenue recognition

We have adopted ASC 606 on April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

We have assessed the impact of the guidance by reviewing our existing customer contracts and current accounting policies and practices to identify differences that will result from applying the new requirements, including the evaluation of its performance obligations, transaction price, customer payments, transfer of control and principal versus agent considerations. Based on the assessment, we concluded that there was no change to the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for its current revenue streams in scope of ASC 606 and therefore there was no material changes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption of ASC 606.

Automobile Transaction and Related Services

Sales of automobiles – We generate revenue from sales of automobiles to the customers of Jinkailong, Hunan Ruixi and Mashang Chuxing. The control over the automobile is transferred to the purchaser along with the delivery of automobile. The amount of the revenue is based on the sale price agreed by Hunan Ruixi or Yicheng and the counterparties, including Jinkailong and Mashang Chuxing, who act on behalf of their customers. We recognize revenues when the automobile is delivered and control is transferred to the purchaser.

Service fees from automobile purchase services – Services fees from automobile purchase services are paid by automobile purchasers for a series of the services provided to them throughout the purchase process such as credit assessment, preparation of financing application materials, assistance with closing of financing transactions, license and plate registration, payment of taxes and fees, purchase of insurance, installment of GPS devices, ride-hailing driver qualification and other administrative procedures. The amount of these fees is based on the sales price of the automobiles and relevant services provided. We recognize revenue when all the services are completed and the automobile is delivered to the purchaser.

Facilitation fees from automobile transactions – Facilitation fees from automobile purchase transactions are paid by our customers including third-party sales teams or the automobile purchasers for the facilitation of the sales and financing of automobiles. We attract automobile purchasers through third-party sales teams or its own sales department. For the sales facilitated between third-party sales teams and automobile purchasers, we charge the fees to the third-party sales teams, which derived from the commission paid by the automobile purchasers to the third-party sales teams. Relating to sales facilitated between automobile purchasers and dealers, we charge the fees to the automobile purchasers. We recognize revenue from facilitation fees when the titles are transferred to the purchasers. The amount of fees is based on the type of automobile and negotiation with each sales team or automobile purchaser. The fees charged to third-party sales teams or automobile purchasers are paid before the automobile purchase transactions are consummated. These fees are non-refundable upon the delivery of automobiles.

Service fees from management and guarantee services – Over 95% of our customers are drivers of Didi Chuxing Technology Co., Ltd., the largest ride-hailing service platform in China. The drivers sign affiliation agreements with us, pursuant to which we provide them with management and guarantee services during the affiliation period. Service fees for management and guarantee services are paid by such automobile purchasers on a monthly basis for the management and guarantee services provided during the affiliation period. We recognize revenue over the affiliation period when performance obligations are completed.

Financing revenues – Interest income from the lease arising from our sales-type leases and bundled lease arrangements is recognized in financing revenues over the lease term based on the effective rate of interest in the lease.

Lease

On April 1, 2019, we adopted ASC Topic 842. This update, as well as additional amendments and targeted improvements issued in 2018 and early 2019, supersedes existing lease accounting guidance found under ASC 840. The accounting for lessors does not fundamentally change with this update except for changes to conform and align guidance to the lessee guidance, as well as to the revenue recognition guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606). Some of these conforming changes, such as those related to the definition of lease term and minimum lease payments, resulted in certain lease arrangements, that would have been previously accounted for as operating leases, to be classified and accounted for as sales-type leases with a corresponding up-front recognition of automobile sales revenue when the lessee obtained control over the automobile.

The two primary accounting provisions we use to classify transactions as sales-type or operating leases are: (i) a review of the lease term to determine if it is for the major part of the economic life of the underlying equipment (defined as greater than 75%); and (ii) a review of the present value of the lease payments to determine if they are equal to or greater than substantially all of the fair market value of the equipment at the inception of the lease (defined as greater than 90%). Automobile included in arrangements meeting these conditions are accounted for as sales-type leases. For sales-type leases, we recognize sales equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments discounted using the implicit interest rate in the lease and cost of sales equal to carrying amount of the asset being leased and any initial direct costs incurred, less the present value of the unguaranteed residual. Interest income from the lease is recognized in financing revenues over the lease term. Automobile included in arrangements that do not meet these conditions are accounted for as operating leases and revenue is recognized over the term of the lease.

We exclude from the measurement of our lease revenues any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected from a customer.

We consider the economic life of most of automobile to be three to four years, since this represents the most frequent contractual lease term for its automobile and the automobile will be used for Didi driving services. We believe three to four years is representative of the period during which the automobile is expected to be economically usable, with normal service, for the purpose for which it is intended.

A portion of our direct sales of automobile to end customers are made through bundled lease arrangements which typically include automobile, services (automobile purchase services, facilitation fees, and management and guarantee services) and financing components where the customer pays a single negotiated fixed minimum monthly payment for all elements over the contractual lease term. Revenues under these bundled lease arrangements are allocated considering the relative standalone selling prices of the lease and non-lease deliverables included in the bundled arrangement and the financing components. Lease deliverables include the automobile and financing, while the non-lease deliverables generally consist of the services and repayment of advanced fees made on behalf of its customers. We consider the fixed payments for purposes of allocation to the lease elements of the contract. The fixed minimum monthly payments are multiplied by the number of months in the contract term to arrive at the total fixed lease payments that the customer is obligated to make over the lease term. Amounts allocated to the automobile and financing elements are then subjected to the accounting estimates under ASC 842 to ensure the values reflect standalone selling prices. The remainder of any fixed payments are allocated to non-lease elements (automobile purchase services, facilitation fees, and management and guarantee services), for which these revenues are recognized in a manner consistent with the guidance for service fees from automobile purchase services, facilitation fees from automobile transactions, and service fees from management and guarantee services as discussed above.

Our lease pricing interest rates, which are used in determining customer payments in a bundled lease arrangement, are developed based upon the local prevailing rates in the marketplace where its customer will be able to obtain an automobile loan under similar terms from the bank. We reassess our pricing interest rates quarterly based on changes in the local prevailing rates in the marketplace. As of December 31, 2019, our pricing interest rate is 6.0% per annum.

Online Discontinued P2P Lending Services

Transaction fees – Prior to our P2P lending business discontinued on October 17, 2019, transaction fees were paid by borrowers to us for the work we perform through its platform. The amount of these fees was based upon the loan amount and the maturity date of the loan. The fees charged to borrowers were paid upon (i) disbursement of the proceeds for loans which accrued interest on a monthly basis or (ii) full payment of principal and interest of loans which accrue interest on a daily basis. These fees were non-refundable upon the issuance of loan. We recognized the revenue when loans were disbursed to borrowers or borrowers repaid their principal or interest of loans.

Service fees - We charged investors service fees on their actual investment payments. We generally received the service fees upon the investors’ receipt of their investment returns. We recognized the revenue when loans were repaid and investor received their investment income.

Website development revenues - Revenue allocated to website development services is recognized as the service is performed over time using our efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation using an input measure method, under which the total value of revenue is recognized on the basis of the percentage that total cost to date bears to the total expected costs. We consider labor costs and related outsource labor costs for the input measurement as the best available indicator of the progress, pattern and timing in which contract obligations are fulfilled.

Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates. In instances where substantive acceptance provisions are specified in customer contracts, revenues are deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. To date, we have not incurred a material loss on any contracts. However, as a policy, provisions for estimated losses on such engagements will be made during the period in which a loss becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated.

We generally do not enter into arrangements with multiple deliverables for website development services contracts. If the deliverables have standalone value at contract inception, we account for each deliverable separately.

Leases

Prior to March 31, 2019, leases are classified as either capital or operating leases. Leases that transfer substantially all the benefits and risks incidental to the ownership of assets are accounted for as if there was an acquisition of an asset and incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases expense and is included in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. We had no capital lease commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

On April 1, 2019, we adopted ASC Topic 842. This update supersedes existing lease accounting guidance found under ASC 840 and requires the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease obligations (“lease liabilities”) by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating leases under existing lease guidance. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Short term leases with a term of 12 months or less are not required to be recognized. We do not have any financing lease for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

We adopted the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease a single lease component. The impact of the adoption of the ASC 842, as of April 1, 2019, we recognized approximately $246,227 ROU assets and approximately $247,325 lease liabilities, primarily related to leases of facilities. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities as of April 1, 2019, with no related impact on our unaudited consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity or consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since the implicit rate for our leases is not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment and over a similar term.

Lease terms used to calculate the present value of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as we do not have reasonable certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. We generally consider the economic life of its operating lease ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. We have elected the short-term lease exception, therefore operating lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Its leases generally do not provide a residual guarantee. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We review the impairment of our ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for our other long-lived assets. We review the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. We have elected to include the carrying amount of operating lease liabilities in any tested asset group and include the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows.

Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of December 31, 2019, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer) have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:

	·	We have insufficient financial reporting and accounting with appropriate knowledge of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and SEC reporting requirements to properly address complex U.S. GAAP accounting issues and to prepare and review our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures to fulfill U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting requirements;

	·	We did not have comprehensive accounting policies and procedures manual in accordance with U.S. GAAP;

	·	We did not have proper procedures in place to identify certain related party transaction;

	·	We did not have effective entity level control;

	·	We did not have sufficient resources with technical competency to review and record non-routine or complex transactions; and

During 2019, we hired Deloitte to help us to make improvements on our framework of internal controls, including setting up a risk and control matrix, drawing flowcharts of significant transactions, evaluating controls effectiveness, preparing manual of internal control, tracing rectifications and performing control testing. We are also in the progress of developing an operational and financial system for our Auto Business to warn of risks and support management’s ability to make significant decisions. As of December 31, 2019, we have completed the following remediation:

We have improved the communication to the Board and obtain proper approval for the material transactions;

We have retained an experienced U.S. GAAP consultant to assist us in the financial reporting and complex accounting issues;

We have hired an internal audit staff to start our internal audit work.

In addition, we plan to address the weaknesses identified above by implementing the following measures:

(i)

hiring additional accounting staffs with comprehensive knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements; and

(ii)

improving our internal audit function, internal control policies and monitoring controls based on the work of our internal audit staff.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as described above, there have not been any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our the three months ended December 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
