GROUP CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
ATXG
and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) are engaged in the business of garments manufacturing, providing logistic services,
property leasing and management service in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”).
2.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In
the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature
that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions
and balances are eliminated in consolidation. However, the results of operations included in such financial statements may not necessarily
be indicative of annual results.
The
Company uses the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) on June 29, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”).
3.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates
using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Accounts
receivable, net
Accounts
receivable, net are stated at the historical carrying amount net of allowance for doubtful accounts.
Account
receivables are classified as financial assets subsequently measured at amortized cost. Account receivables are recognized when the Company
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the receivables. They are measured, at initial recognition, at fair value plus transaction
costs, if any and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. The amortized cost is the amount recognized on the receivable initially,
minus principal repayments, plus cumulative amortization (interest) using the effective interest method of any difference between the
initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance.
A
loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognized on account receivables and is updated at each reporting date. The Company determines
the expected credit losses provisions based on ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (‘‘ASC 326’’) using a modified retrospective approach which did not have
a material impact on the opening balance of accumulated deficit. To determine expected credit losses on account receivables, the Company
will consider the historic credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions,
and an assessment of both the current and forecasted direction of conditions at the reporting date, including the time value of money,
where appropriate.
The
loss allowance is calculated on a collective basis for all trade and other receivables in totality. An impairment gain or loss is recognized
in profit or loss with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of account receivables, through use of a loss allowance account.
The impairment loss is included in operating expenses as a movement in credit loss allowance.
Receivables
are written off when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic
prospect of recovery, e.g., when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings. Receivables
written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Company’s recovery procedures, considering legal advice where
appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognized in profit or loss.
There
is no change in the accounting policies for the three months ended December 31, 2023.
Recently
issued accounting pronouncements
Accounting
for Convertible Instruments: In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s
Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards
while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the
new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and
equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued
at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion
features in equity and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted”
method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current
accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only at the beginning of the
fiscal year.
The
Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Management has not identified any other new standards that it believes will have
a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS ACQUISITION
In
September 2023, the Company acquired a 100 % equity interest of Dongguan Hongxiang Commercial Co., Ltd (HX), an entity engaged in property
management and subleasing services in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, for cash consideration of $ 438,470 (RMB 3.2 million). The Company
recognized gain on bargain purchase of $ 996 . The acquisition has been accounted under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance
with ASC 805, “Business Combinations”. The results of HX’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial
statements since its acquisition date.
The

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
On
January 4, 2023, the Company entered into a series of agreements with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company received
a net proceed of $ 15,000,000 in consideration of the issuance of:
●
senior
secured convertible notes in the aggregate original principal amount of approximately $ 16.7 million with interest rate of 5 % per
annum (the “Convertible Notes”); The Convertible Notes shall be matured on July 4, 2024 . The conversion price is $ 1.25 ,
subject to adjustment under several conditions.
●
warrants
to purchase up to approximately 16.1 million shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) until on or prior
to 11:59 p.m. (New York time) on the five-year anniversary of the closing date at an exercise price of $ 1.25 per share, also subject
to adjustment under several conditions.
The
Warrant is considered a freestanding instrument issued together with the Convertible Note and measured at its issuance date fair value.
Proceeds received were first allocated to the Warrant based on its initial fair value. The initial fair value of the Warrant was $ 3.9
million. The Warrant were marked to the market with the changes in the fair value of warrant recorded in the consolidated statements
of operations and comprehensive loss. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Warrant was $ 268,435 (March 31, 2023: approximately
$ 2.0 million).
The
Convertible Note is classified as a liability and is subsequently stated at amortized cost with any difference between the initial carrying
value and the repayment amount as interest expenses using the effective interest method over the period from the issuance date to the
maturity date. The embedded conversion feature should be bifurcated and separately accounted for using fair value, as this embedded feature
is considered not clearly and closely related to the debt host. The bifurcated conversion feature was recorded at fair value with the
changes recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The initial fair value of the embedded conversion
feature was $ 1.2 million.
The
Company determined that the other embedded features do not require bifurcation as they either are clearly and closely related to the
Convertible Note or do not meet the definition of a derivative.
The
total proceeds of the Convertible Note and the Warrants, net of issuance cost, of $ 15.0 million was received by the Company in January
2023, and allocated to each of the financial instruments as following:

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
(a)
Economic
and Political Risks
The
Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations
may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
The
Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies
in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment
and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions
in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion,
remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.
(b)
Foreign
Currency Translation
The
Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the parent company is the U.S. dollar and the functional
currency of the Company’s operating subsidiaries is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). For the subsidiaries whose functional
currencies are the RMB, all assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates at the balance sheet date, which was 7.10 and 6.87
as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average yearly exchange rates, which
was 7.148 and 6.603 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Equity is translated at historical exchange

Overview
Our
Business
We,
Addentax Group Corp., are a Nevada holding company with no material operations of our own. We conduct substantially all of our operations
through our operating companies established in the PRC, primarily Shenzhen Qianhai Yingxi Industrial Chain Service Co., Ltd. (“YX”),
our wholly owned subsidiary and its subsidiaries. We are not a Chinese operating company. We are a holding company and do not directly
own any substantive business operations in China. Therefore, our investors will not directly hold any equity interests in our operating
companies. Our holding company structure involves unique risks to investors. Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our operating
structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our common stock, including that it could
cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless. Our holding company, Addentax Group Corp., is listed
on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ATXG”. We classify our businesses into three segments: garment manufacturing,
logistics services, property management and subleasing.
Unless
the context otherwise requires, all references in this annual report to “ Addentax ” refer to Addentax Group Corp.,

“ WFOE ”
refers to Qianhai Yingxi Textile & Garments Co., Ltd, a wholly foreign owned enterprise in China, which is indirectly wholly owned

Our
garment manufacturing business consists of sales made principally to wholesaler located in the PRC. We have our own manufacturing facilities,
with sufficient production capacity and skilled workers on production lines to ensure that we meet our high quality control standards
and timely meet the delivery requirements for our customers. We conduct our garment manufacturing operations through five wholly owned
subsidiaries, namely Dongguan Heng Sheng Wei Garments Co., Ltd (“HSW”), Dongguan Yushang Clothing Co., Ltd (“YS”),
Shantou Yi Bai Yi Garment Co., Ltd (“YBY”), Zhuang Hao Jia (Dongguan) Decoration Engineering Co.,Ltd (“ZHJ”),
and Dongguan Aotesi Garments Co., Ltd., (“AOT”), which are located in the Guangdong province, China.
Our
logistics business consists of delivery and courier services covering 86 cities in 11 provinces and 3 municipalities in China.
Although we have our own motor vehicles and drivers, we currently outsource some of the business to our contractors. We believe outsourcing
allows us to maximize our capacity and maintain flexibility while reducing capital expenditures and the costs of keeping drivers during
slow seasons. We conduct our logistic operations through three wholly owned subsidiaries, namely Shenzhen Xin Kuai Jie Transportation
Co., Ltd (“XKJ”), Shenzhen Yingxi Peng Fa Logistic Co., Ltd (“PF”) and Shenzhen Yingxi Tongda Logistic Co., Ltd
(“TD”), which are located in the Guangdong province, China.
Our
property management and subleasing business provides shops subleasing and property management services for garment wholesalers and retailers
in the garment market. We conduct our property management and subleasing operation through a wholly owned subsidiary, namely Dongguan
Yingxi Daying Commercial Co., Ltd. (“DY”), which is located in the Guangdong province, China.

Business
Objectives
Garment
Manufacturing Business
We
believe the strength of our garment manufacturing business is mainly due to our consistent emphasis on exceptional quality and timely
delivery of our products. The primary business objective for our garment manufacturing segment is to expand our customer base and improve
our profit.
Logistics
Services Business
The
business objective and future plan for our logistics services segment is to establish an efficient logistic system and to build a nationwide
delivery and courier network in China. As of December 31, 2023, we provide logistics services to over 86 cities in approximately 11 provinces
and 3 municipalities . We expect to develop an additional 20 logistics points in existing serving cities and improve the Company’s
profit in the year 2024.
Property
Management and Subleasing Business
The
business objective of our property management and subleasing segment is to integrate resources in shopping mall, develop e-commerce bases
and the Internet celebrity economy together to drive to increase the value of the stores in the area. The short-term goal for the year
is to increase the occupancy rate of stores in the mall to more than 70%. In February 2023, the Company disposed of DY to an independent
third party at fair value, which was also its carrying value as of February 28, 2023. In September 2023, we finished the acquisition
of HX.
Seasonality
of Business
Our
business is affected by seasonal trends, with higher levels of garment sales during our second and third quarters and higher logistics
services revenue during our third and fourth quarters. These trends primarily result from the timing of seasonal garment manufacturing
shipments and holiday periods in the logistics services segment.
Collection
Policy
Garment
manufacturing business
For
our new customers, we generally require orders placed to be backed by advances or deposits. For our long-term and established customers
with good payment track records, we generally provide payment terms between 30 to 180 days following their acknowledgement of receipt
of goods.
Logistics
services business
For
logistics services, we generally receive payments from the customers between 30 to 90 days following the date of the registration of
our receipt of packages.
Property
management and subleasing business
For
property management and subleasing business, we generally collect rental and management fees of the following month each month in advance.
4
Economic
Uncertainty
Our
business is dependent on consumer demand for our products and services. We believe that the significant uncertainty in the economy in
China has increased our clients’ sensitivity to the cost of our products and services. We have experienced continued pricing pressure.
If the economic environment becomes weak, the economic conditions could have a negative impact on our sales growth and operating margins,
cash position and collection of accounts receivable. Additionally, business credit and liquidity have tightened in China. Some of our
suppliers and customers may face credit issues and could experience cash flow problems and other financial hardships. These factors currently
have not had an impact on the timeliness of receivable collections from our customers. We cannot predict at this time how this situation
will develop and whether accounts receivable may need to be allowed for or written off in the coming quarters.
Despite
the various risks and uncertainties associated with the current economy in China, we believe our core strengths will continue to allow
us to execute our strategy for long-term sustainable growth in revenue, net income and operating cash flow.
Summary
of Critical Accounting Policies
We
have identified critical accounting policies that, as a result of judgments, uncertainties, uniqueness and complexities of the underlying
accounting standards and operation involved could result in material changes to our financial position or results of operations under
different conditions or using different assumptions.
Estimates
and Assumptions
We
regularly evaluate the accounting estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. In general, management’s estimates
are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed
to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
is generated through sale of goods and delivery services. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or
services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods
or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising
from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive
in exchange for those goods and services. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount:
(i)
identification
of the promised goods and services in the contract;
(ii)
determination
of whether the promised goods and services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the
contract;
(iii)
measurement
of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;
(iv)
allocation
of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
(v)
recognition
of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
5
The
Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled
to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606
at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which
of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated
to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company’s
performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.
For
all reporting periods, the Company has not disclosed the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for all product and service revenue
contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, which is an optional exemption that is permitted under the adopted rules.
Leases
Lessee
The
Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”)
assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in
property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
ROU
assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease
payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present
value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, The Company generally use the incremental
borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement
date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments
is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Lessor
As
a lessor, the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases under ASC 842. Leases, in which the Company is the lessor, are
substantially all accounted for as operating leases and the lease components and non-lease components are accounted for separately. Rental
income from operating leases is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred
in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized on a straight line
basis over the lease term.
Recently
issued accounting pronouncements
In
September 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses
on Financial Instruments. This standard requires a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to
be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from
the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial
asset. This standard will be effective for the Company on April 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption
of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Accounting
for Convertible Instruments: In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s
Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards
while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the
new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and
equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued
at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion
features in equity and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted”
method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current
accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only at the beginning of the
fiscal year.
The
Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Management has not identified any other new standards that it believes will have
a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Revenue
Total
revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2023 decreased by approximately $0.7 million, or 30.8%, as compared with the three months
ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease of $0.6 million in property management and subleasing business and
$0.1 million decrease in garment manufacturing business.
Revenue generated from our garment manufacturing business
contributed approximately $0.03 million or 1.8% of our total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Revenue generated from
garment manufacturing business contributed approximately $0.1 million or 4.7% of our total revenue for the three months ended December
31, 2022, respectively. The low level of sales was mainly due to factory facilities renewal and repair, remaining factories cannot provide
the same capacity as previously. We estimate the capacity will recover at the last quarter of the fiscal year ending 2024.
Revenue
generated from our logistics services business contributed approximately $1.2 million or 81.0% of our total revenue for the three months
ended December 31, 2023. Revenue generated from our logistic business contributed approximately $1.2 million or 57.2% of our total revenue
for the three months ended December 31, 2022.
Revenue
generated from our property management and subleasing business was $0.3 million or 17.2% of our total revenue for the three months ended
December 31, 2023. The revenue from this business segment was $0.8 million or 37.5% of our total revenue of this business for the three
months ended December 31, 2022.

Financial
Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
As
of December 31, 2023, we had cash on hand of approximately $0.5 million, total current assets of approximately $30.3 million and current
liabilities of approximately $5.4 million. We presently finance our operations from revenue, fund raising from our initial public offering
proceeds and capital contributions from our chief executive officer, Mr. Hong Zhida (the “CEO”).
In
the event that the Company requires additional funding to finance the growth of the Company’s current and expected future operations
as well as to achieve our strategic objectives, the CEO has indicated the intent and ability to provide additional equity financing.
Foreign
Currency Translation Risk
Our
operations are located in China, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility
in foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). All of our sales are in RMB. In last
year, RMB depreciated against the U.S. dollar. As of December 31, 2023, the market foreign exchange rate was RMB 7.10 to one U.S. dollar.
Our financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into
U.S. dollars using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at historical
exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate
for the period. All translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of equity. The foreign
currency translation gain (loss) for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $0.05 million and $0.2 million
respectively.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have no off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K) as of December 31, 2023 that
have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues
or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
