Forward-Looking
Statements
This
quarterly report (the “Quarterly Report”) of Aureus Greenway Holdings Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,”
and the “Company”) contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the
safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that are not statements of historical
facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. These statements appear in several different places in this Quarterly Report and,
in some cases, can be identified by words such as “anticipates”, “estimates”, “projects”, “expects”,
“contemplates”, “intends”, “believes”, “plans”, “may”, “will”
or their negatives or other comparable words, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking
statements in this Quarterly Report may include, but are not limited to, statements and/or information related to: our financial performance
and projections; our business prospects and opportunities; our business strategy and future operations; the projection of timing and
completion of business operations in the future; projected costs; expectations regarding demand and use of our golf country clubs; estimated
costs related to maintain our facilities; trends in the market in which we operate; the plans and objectives of management; our liquidity
and capital requirements, including cash flows and uses of cash; and trends relating to our industry.
We
have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations about future events on information that is available as of the
date of this Quarterly Report, and any forward-looking statements made by us speak only as of the date on which they are made. While
we believe these expectations are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many
of which are beyond our control. Our actual future results may differ materially from those discussed or implied in our forward-looking
statements for various reasons, including, our ability to change the direction of the Company; our ability to keep pace with competitors,
new technology and changing market needs; our capital needs, and the competitive environment of our business. Additional Factors that
could contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to:
● general
economic and business conditions, including changes in interest rates;
● competition
from other golf country clubs, costs associated with maintain our golf country clubs and
other economic conditions;
● the
effect of an outbreak of disease or similar public health threat, such as the COVID-19 pandemic,
on the Company’s business (natural phenomena, including the lingering effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic);
● the
impact of political unrest, natural disasters or other crises, terrorist acts, acts of war
and/or military operations, and our ability to maintain or broaden our business relationships
and develop new relationships with strategic alliances, suppliers, customers, distributors
or otherwise;
● breaches
in data security, failure of information security systems, cyber-attacks or other security
or privacy-related incidents affecting us or our suppliers;
● the
ability of our infrastructure systems or information security systems to operate effectively;
● actions
by government authorities, including changes in government regulation;
● uncertainties
associated with legal proceedings;
● changes
in the size of the golf country club industry;
● future
decisions by management in response to changing conditions;
● the
Company’s ability to execute prospective business plans;
● misjudgments
in the course of preparing forward-looking statements;
● the
Company’s ability to raise sufficient funds to carry out its proposed business plan;
● inability
to keep up with advances in the golf country club industry;
● inability
to advertise or market services and products at our gold country clubs or develop new services
or add new products that address additional market opportunities to generate revenue and
positive cash flows;
● dependency
on certain key personnel and any inability to retain and attract qualified personnel;
● inability
to succeed in establishing, maintaining and strengthening our brand;
● disruption
of supply or shortage of raw materials relating to the upkeep and maintenance of our gold
country clubs;
● the
unavailability, reduction or elimination of government and economic incentives;
● failure
to manage future growth effectively; and
● the
other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our filings with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including but not limited to those
described under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s registration statement
on Form S-1, as amended, filed with the SEC on June 20, 2024.
Although
management has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking
statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There is no assurance that
forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated
in such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. These cautionary
remarks expressly qualify, in their entirety, all forward-looking statements attributable to our Company or persons acting on our Company’s
behalf. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in
other factors affecting such statements, except as, and to the extent required by, applicable securities laws.

accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the

policies. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between members of the Group are eliminated upon consolidation.

SEC rules and regulations . In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, in normal recurring
nature, as necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2024, and results of
operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information
and footnotes required by the U.S. GAAP. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for
the full fiscal year or for any future period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and related notes included in the
Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included and filed in registration statements on S-1.
Emerging
growth company
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart
Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various
reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited
to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements,
and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any
golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial
accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective
or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of
such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public
or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies
adopt the new or revised standard.
This
may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company
nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential
differences in accounting standards used.
Use
of Estimates and Assumptions
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates and assumptions made
by management include allowance for expected credit loss, allowance for deferred tax assets, the useful lives and impairment
assessment of property and equipment and estimated incremental borrowing rate of lease. Actual results could differ from those estimates
as the current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents include cash at bank and demand deposits which have original maturities less than three months and are unrestricted
as to withdrawal or use. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $ 502,161 and $ 646,294 , respectively,
and did not have cash equivalents.
Periodically,
the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions more than the federally insured limit of $ 250,000 per institution. The
amount in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance as of September 30, 2024, was approximately $ 444,000 . The Company
has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the
credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.
Accounts
Receivable, net
Accounts
receivable mainly represent amounts due from customers paid by credit cards for provision of golf operations services and sales of merchandise
and food and beverages which are recorded net of allowance for expected credit losses. The credit cards payment is to be settled either
within few days after the year end date due to the timing difference for the payment transfer from credit card center to the bank accounts
of the Company or within one month after the services were utilized by the customers who have authorized the Company to make the payment
through their credit cards. The Company reviews accounts receivable periodically for collectability and establishes an allowance for
expected credit losses and records allowance for expected credit losses expense when deemed necessary. The Company records an allowance
for expected credit losses that is based on historical trends, customer knowledge, any known disputes, future expectation, future economic
situation consideration and considers the aging of the accounts receivable balances combined with management’s estimate of future
potential recoverability. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowance after all attempts to collect a receivable have failed.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no allowance for expected credit losses due to no experiences on default
from customers or failure of transfer from credit card center after payment authorization was made by customers and all outstanding accounts
receivable as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were subsequently settled before the report date.
11
Inventories,
net
Our
inventories consist of merchandise goods such as golf balls, gloves, men’s wear and women’s wears, food and beverages and
we value inventories using the lower first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and net realizable value, which is generally based
on the selling price expectations of the merchandise goods. We regularly review inventories to determine if the carrying value of the
inventory exceeds net realizable value and, when determined necessary, record a reserve to reduce the carrying value to net realizable
value. Changes in customer merchandise preference, current and anticipated demand, consumer spending, weather patterns, economic conditions,
business trends or merchandising strategies could cause our inventory to be exposed to obsolescence or slow-moving merchandise. For foods
and beverages, the turnaround time is short, usually within one to two weeks. For the merchandise goods, all goods are aged less than
one year and the Company will offer discounts to customers to speed the selling but higher than that of purchase price. As of September
30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no obsolescent goods were noted.
Deferred
offering costs
The
Company follows the requirements of the FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A —
“Expenses of Offering”. Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal and other expenses incurred through the balance
sheet date that are directly related to the intended initial public offering (“IPO”). Deferred offering costs will be charged
to stockholders’ equity netted against the proceeds upon the completion of the IPO. Should the IPO prove to be unsuccessful, these
deferred offering costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to statements of income. As of September 30,
2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company deferred $ 574,840 and $ 252,964 of offering costs. Such costs will be deferred until the closing
of the IPO, at which time the deferred costs will be offset against the offering proceeds and recognized in equity of the Company.
Property
and Equipment, net
Property
and equipment, net are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses .
Property and equipment, consisting of land, buildings, properties improvements, equipment, furniture and fixture . We capitalize
costs that materially add value and appreciably extend the useful life of an asset. With respect to golf course improvements (included
in land improvements), only costs associated with original construction, complete replacements, or the addition of new trees, sand traps,
fairways or greens are capitalized while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve
or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred. Land is not depreciated.
Depreciation
is calculated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:
Schedule
of Property and Equipment Estimated Useful Lives
Depreciable
land improvements
15
years
Building
and recreational facilities
39
years
Properties
improvements
5 - 7
years
Furniture
and equipment
5 - 7
years
The
Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates
of useful lives.
Impairment
for Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets, representing property and equipment with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
(such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying
value of an asset may not be recoverable. In evaluating long-lived assets for recoverability, the Company uses its best estimate of future
cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and eventual disposition in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-15. To the extent
that estimated future, undiscounted cash inflows attributable to the asset, less estimated future, undiscounted cash outflows, are less
than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the carrying value of such asset
and its fair value. Assets to be disposed of and for which there is a committed plan of disposal, whether through sale or abandonment,
are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. If an impairment is identified, The Company would reduce
the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate,
to comparable market values. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no impairment of long-lived assets was recognized.
12
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company follows accounting guidelines on fair value measurements for financial instruments measured on a recurring basis, as well as
for certain assets and liabilities that are initially recorded at their estimated fair values. Fair value is defined as the exit price,
or the amount that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
as of the measurement date. The Company uses the following three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes
the use of unobservable inputs to value its financial instruments:
●
Level
1: Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
●
Level
2: Quoted prices for similar instruments that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
●
Level
3: Significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values
are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which
the determination of fair value requires a significant judgment or estimation.
Financial
instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair
value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety
requires the Company to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The use of different assumptions and/or
estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair values. Accordingly, the fair value estimates disclosed, or initial
amounts recorded, may not be indicative of the amount that the Company or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market
exchange.
The
carrying amounts shown of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current
assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, current portion of bank and other borrowings and lease liabilities and amount due to related
party are approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Non-current portion of bank and other borrowings and lease liabilities
have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for instruments with similar terms,
credit risk and remaining maturities. The changes in fair value as a result of the Group’s own non-performance risk for bank and
other borrowings and lease liabilities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were assessed to be insignificant.
Leases
ASC
842 supersedes the lease requirements in ASC 840 “Leases”, and generally requires lessees to recognize operating and finance
lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures
surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. All leases in the Group as of September
30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are accounted for as operating leases.
ROU
assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease
payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease
payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our 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 ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate
the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.
13
Any
lease with a term of 12 months or less is considered short-term. As permitted by ASC 842, short-term leases are excluded from the ROU
assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Consistent with all other operating leases, short-term lease expense
is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The
Company determines the present value of minimum future lease payments for operating leases by estimating a rate of interest that it would
have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments and a similar economic environment
(the “incremental borrowing rate” or “IBR”).The Company determines the appropriate IBR by identifying a reference
rate and making adjustments that take into consideration financing options and certain lease-specific circumstances.
Accrued
Liabilities
Accrued
liabilities primarily include accrued property tax and sales tax and other accrual and payable for the operation of the ordinary course
of business.
Bank
and Other Borrowings
Borrowings
are initially recognized at fair value, net of upfront fees incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference
between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in statements of operations over the period of
the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Related
Parties
The
Company adopted ASC Topic 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Parties
are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant
influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject
to common control or significant influence of the same party, such as a family member or relative, shareholder, or a related corporation.
The
details of related party transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and balances as of September 30, 2024
and December 31, 2023 are set out in the Note 9.
Revenue
Recognition
All
revenue recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers in accordance
with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services and
products to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:
●
executed
contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;
●
identification
of performance obligations in the respective contract;
●
determination
of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
●
allocation
the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
●
recognition
of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
The
Company recognizes revenue when, or as, performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which generally occurs when,
or as, control of promised goods or services are transferred to customers. Revenue is measured as the amount that reflects the consideration
the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services (“transaction price”). To the extent the transaction
price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction
price utilizing the most likely amount to which the Company expects to be entitled. Variable consideration is included in the transaction
price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract
will not occur. Estimates of variable consideration and the determination of whether to include such estimated amounts in the transaction
price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information that is reasonably available.
The Company accounts for taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis and excludes these amounts
from revenues.
14
In
addition, the Company defers certain costs to fulfill the Company’s contracts with customers to the extent such costs relate directly
to the contracts, are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy the Company’s performance obligations under the
contracts, and are expected to be recovered through revenue generated under the contracts. Contract fulfillment costs are incurred as
the Company satisfies the related performance obligations.
Revenue
from golf operations
There
are two types of service charges maintained by the Company, the players can either (1) subscribe to the entertainment services for
a period of time of one year at a discount (i.e. annual subscription green fees); or (2) purchase the services at the counter by one-time
payment (i.e. one-time green fees). The golf courses are open to public and hence our customers include both local and overseas citizens.
The charges comprise of both the cart fee and fees for playing in the golf course, which is fixed without variable consideration, and
the customers either pay via cash or credit card. The entire service fee from customers is non-refundable and required to be paid in
advance.
The
Company sells annual green fee subscriptions to local patrons. The performance obligation of the annual subscription is for the Company
to provide a patron with access to the golf course and cart, subject to availability of a tee time for a patron to play a single round
on the 18-hole course; the round of golf is expected to be completed before sunset of the day of the booking of that tee time. The Company
recognizes revenue from these annual subscriptions on a monthly basis over twelve months. The annual subscriptions are non-refundable.
Payments for subscriptions in the form of cash or credit card are received in advance, and are recorded as contract liabilities-deferred
revenue, and recognized to revenue at the end of each month. Management believes that the services provided each month are substantially
similar and result in the transfer of substantially similar services to the customers each month. That is, the benefit consumed by the
customers is substantially similar for each month, even though the exact volume of services may vary. The Company concludes that the
annual green fees subscription satisfies the requirements of ASC 606-10-25-14(b) to be accounted for as a single performance obligation.
The annual subscriptions fees are fixed and there is no variable consideration, significant financing components or noncash consideration.
There is no contract asset related to these annual green fee subscriptions. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company
recorded contract liabilities - deferred revenue of $ 137,336 and $ 158,429 , respectively.
One-time
green fees require the Company to provide to a patron access to a designated 18-hole golf course and cart to play a single round of golf
subject to non-hazardous weather conditions that is expected to be completed before sunset of the day of booking of that tee time. Management
believes access to the golf course and the card constitute a single performance obligation as either service is not available to be purchased
separately. Payments for tee times are non-refundable and are received via cash or credit card immediately prior to the initiation of
the patron playing the round of 18-hole golf; therefore, and one-time green fees are not refundable. Typically, in the event that weather
is not expected to permit the patron to play and complete the single round of golf, the Company will not undertake the transaction and
take payment from the patron. The one-time green fees are fixed and there is no variable consideration.
Sales
of merchandise, food and beverage
Golf
course patrons regularly buy golf balls, clothing, paraphernalia, and gloves, or will enjoy food and beverage offered at the clubhouses.
Patrons make orders at the counter. The price is fixed without variable consideration. The Company recognizes revenue when the merchandise
or food and beverage are delivered, net of discounts, if any and control of the product has been passed to the customer. If the clothing
or wearables have product defects, they are subject to exchange, but all sales are final and not subject to return. Product delivery
is evidenced by a payment receipt record. Payments are settled via cash or credit card. The respective revenue is recognized at a point
in time. There are no warranties, sales returns and refunds after the orders are delivered to the customers at the counter.
15
Ancillary
revenue
Ancillary
revenue represented the lease of its clubhouse for several hours for events held by associations or individuals such as golf tournaments
and lease of golf club to individuals for one day playing golf in the Company’s golf course. The revenue was recognized upon services
were rendered (i.e. on daily basis when the venue or golf club was used that day). Deposit was received in advance for booking of clubhouse
and recognized as contract liabilities – deferred income upon receipt and recognized as revenue in the statements of income when
service was rendered or no show after booking. Deposit received is non-refundable.
Operating
Costs
Golf
operating costs consist of costs associated with golf course upkeep expenses and are expensed as incurred.
Other
General and Administrative Expense
Other
General and administrative expense consists of audit fees for initial public offering, costs associated with corporate and administrative
functions that support development and operations.
Income
Tax
The
Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company
records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not
that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is
recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
The
Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty In income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Using
that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position
will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.
As
of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure
in the financial statements, respectively.
The
Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in other expense. No interest and penalties related
to uncertain income tax positions were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Earnings
Per Share
The
Company computes earnings per share, or EPS, in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”). ASC
260 requires companies to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common share
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of the potential common shares (e.g., convertible
securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later.
Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are
excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no dilutive shares.
16
Segment
Information
ASC
Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the
Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers
in financial statements for details on the Company’s business segments. The Company uses the “management approach”
in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s
chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s
reportable segments. Management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operation results by the revenue of different
products or services. Based on management’s assessment, the Company has determined that it has only one operating segment. All
assets of the Company are located in Florida and all revenue is generated from Florida.
Commitments
and Contingencies
In
the normal course of business, the Company is subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings and claims arising out of the business
that relate to a wide range of matters, such as government investigations and tax matters. The Company recognizes a liability for such
contingency if it determines it is probable that a loss has occurred, and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made. The Company
may consider many factors in making these assessments including historical and the specific facts and circumstances of each matter.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU No. 2021-01 is an update of ASU No. 2020-04, which
is in response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR. Regulators
have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based
and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU No. 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden
in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU No. 2020-04 is elective and applies
to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference
LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The ASU No. 2021-01 update clarifies that
certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are
affected by the discounting transition. The amendments in this update are effective immediately through December 31, 2022, for all entities.
On December 21, 2022, the FASB issued a new Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral
of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, that extends the sunset (or expiration) date of ASC Topic 848 to December 31, 2024. This gives reporting
entities two additional years to apply the accounting relief provided under ASC Topic 848 for matters related to reference rate reform.
The Company does not expect the cessation of LIBOR to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures.
In
October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure
Update and Simplification Initiative.” This ASU incorporates certain U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosure requirements
into the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in the ASU are expected to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation
requirements of a variety of Codification Topics, allow users to compare entities subject more easily to the SEC’s existing disclosures
with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s
regulations. For entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements and for entities required to file or furnish financial
statements with or to the SEC in preparation for the sale of or for purposes of issuing securities that are not subject to contractual
restrictions on transfer, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC removes that related disclosure from
its rules. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective two years later. However, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed
the related disclosure from its regulations, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective for any entity.
We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2023-06 will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
and related disclosures.
17
In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.”
The amendments in this ASU are intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures
about significant segment expenses. This ASU requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief
operating decision mark (CODM), an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition, all annual
disclosures required by FASB ASU Topic 280 in interim periods as well, and the title and position of the CODM and how the CODM uses the
reported measures. Additionally, this ASU requires that at least one of the reported segment profit and loss measures should be the measure
that is most consistent with the measurement principles used in an entity’s consolidated financial statements. Lastly, this ASU
requires public business entities with a single reportable segment to provide all disclosures required by these amendments in this ASU
and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim
periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively.
We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2023-06 will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
and related disclosures.
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provides guidance
on the requirements such as the requirement that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the
rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. For public business
entities (PBEs), the new requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than
public business entities (non-PBEs), the requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption
is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The ASU should be applied
prospectively. Retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have on
its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Except
as mentioned above, 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 balance sheets, statements of income and comprehensive income and
statements of cash flows.
Note
3 – Revision
The
Company determined that previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 contained in the Company’s
Confidential Draft Registration Statement No. 2 of Form S-1 filed on March 26, 2024 required the recognition of deferred tax liabilities
on the accelerated depreciation of property and equipment in the consolidated financial statements. The revision is to properly reflect
the tax position of the Company as of December 31, 2023. These revisions had increased the Company’s total liabilities as of December
31, 2023 by $ 48,156 , and decreased the Company’s net income for the year ended December 31, 2023 by $ 27,292 . There is no impact
on the consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The
effects of these items in the Company’s previously issued consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 are summarized as

12 – Income Tax
The
Company provides for income tax under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities

Note
13 – Risk and Uncertainties
Credit
Risk
The
Company’s principal financial assets are cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. The Company’s credit risk is
primarily concentrated in its cash which is held with institutions with a high credit worthiness. The Company has not experienced losses
on their accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to
these deposits is not significant.
Management
believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash.
The
Company mitigates its credit risk on receivables by actively managing and monitoring its receivables. The Company mitigates credit risk
by evaluating the creditworthiness of customers prior to conducting business with them and monitoring its exposure for credit losses
with existing customers. Since all accounts receivable as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are aged within one year and collected
all receivables subsequent to year end, minimum credit risk was noted for accounts receivable.
Vendor
concentration risk
As
of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company owed 81 % and 85 % of accounts payable to a key supplier, respectively.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, one vendor accounted for 32 % and 28 % of our total operating costs, respectively. No
other vendor accounts for more than 10 % of our total operating costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
For
the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, one vendor accounted for 36 % and 28 % of our total operating costs, respectively.
No other vendor accounts for more than 10 % of our total operating costs for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Interest
rate risk
Interest
rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as its financial liabilities carry interest at fixed rates.
Liquidity
risk
Liquidity
risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that
are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as
possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions,
without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
Typically,
the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of twelve months, including
through operations and financial support from our stockholders and financial institutions. We are continuing to focus on improving operational
efficiency and cost reductions and enhancing efficiency, as well as servicing of financial obligations: this excludes the potential impact
of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. Our ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon obtaining the necessary financing or negotiating the terms of the existing short-term liabilities to meet our current
and future liquidity needs.

minimum lease payment under these operating leases as of September 30, 2024 are listed in section “Note 8 — “Leases”.
Litigation
From
time to time, we are involved in claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Based on currently available
information, we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of any unresolved matters, individually and in the aggregate, is reasonably
possible to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is subject
to inherent uncertainties and our view of these matters may change in the future. We record a liability when it is both probable that
a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We review the need for any such liabilities on
a regular basis.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introductory
Note
Except
as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) to the “Company,”
“we,” “us” or “our” are references to the combined business Aureus Greenway Holdings Inc. and its
subsidiaries. The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”)
summarizes the significant factors affecting our results of operations, liquidity, capital resources and contractual obligations. The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
and related notes included elsewhere herein.
General
Overview of Operations
We
own and operate two public golf country clubs in Florida that we acquired in 2014. Our golf country clubs include two golf-courses with
over 13,000 yards of combined fairways, clubhouses boasting food and beverage options, aquatic golf ranges, and pro shops to assist any
level of golfers. Our two golf country clubs are situated on over 289 acres of multi-service recreational property.
Each
of our golf country clubs is organized into four revenue streams: (i) golf operations, (ii) sales of food and beverage; (iii) sales of
merchandise; and (iv) ancillary income.
Management’s
Plans
Over
the next twelve months, we plan to continue to promote, market, manage and operate our golf country clubs with the intent to (i) attract
and retain customers across a number of demographic groups to further develop customer loyalty and capture a greater share of customers
in the greater Orlando Florida region and (ii) increase revenue from managing and operating our golf country clubs.
We
believe attracting and retaining customers while increasing customer engagement and loyalty by providing what we believe to be a high
quality golfing experience will drive our revenue. Drivers of our revenue growth will require further steps to maintain and build on
quality experiences at our golf country clubs. To achieve the foregoing, we intend to focus on:
●
Renovating
and modernizing our golf country clubs to promote more enjoyable use of our facilities;
●
Retaining
new regional customers from the growth of the surrounding greater Orlando Florida region through marketing efforts; and
●
Expanding
our portfolio through regional country club acquisitions.
Key
Factors Affecting our Results of Operations
a.
Seasonality
and weather
Our
businesses are subject to seasonality and typically the first quarter of each year is our busiest season of the year. Then, even during
our busy season, our business activities are affected by weather conditions. In 2023, we believe that we experienced very few rainy days
during the first quarter making almost every day of the busiest season a suitable day for playing golf.
b.
Cost
of maintenance due to inflation
Our
maintenance contract with our major vendor, SSS Down to Earth, LLC (“DTE”) an independently contracted country club consultancy
and golf maintenance company, was only renewed in 2022 and the renewed contractual price did not fully reflect the inflationary environment
that subsequently impacted the labor, fertilizer and chemical markets. In order to maintain our golf courses at a quality level that
is consistent with our price points, after thorough discussions with the management of DTE, we had agreed to increase our contract price
with DTE by a total of $200,000 starting in October 2023. This increase did not fully impact our cost basis in 2023 but will be in 2024.
The maintenance cost and contract with DTE may be subject to further increases in 2024 if the inflationary environment continues to impact
our maintenance needs.
Basis of Presentation
The interim financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The interim financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity),
directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period
as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between members of the Group
are eliminated upon consolidation.
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and
Estimates
We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to
the preparation of our Group’s financial information. Some of our accounting policies involve subjective assumptions and estimates,
as well as complex judgements relating to accounting items. In each case, the determination of these items requires management judgements
based on information and financial data that may change in future periods. When reviewing our financial statements, you should consider:
(i) our selection of accounting policies; and (ii) the results to changes in conditions and assumptions. We set forth below those accounting
policies that we believe are of critical importance to us or involve the most significant estimates and judgements used in the preparation
of our Group’s financial statements.

Comparison
for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Our
revenue is mainly comprised of golf operations, sales of food and beverage and sales of merchandise. Overall decrease in revenue period
over period by $313,865 or 11% was mainly due to the decrease in one-time green fees from golf operations and the associated sales of
food and beverage and merchandise.
Revenue
from golf operations decreased by $273,211 or 12% from $2,247,862 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $1,974,651 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2024, which was mainly driven by the decrease in one-time green fees from golf operations by $322,691
or 16%, slightly net off by the increase in annual membership dues by $49,480 or 27%.
Revenue
from annual membership dues slightly increased by $49,480 or 27% mainly due to the increase in demand from customers who paid annual
membership dues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
One-time
green fees from golf operations accounted for 66% and 70% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively.
Decrease in one-time greens fees by 16% resulted from the decrease in total number of rounds by approximately 18% from approximately
45,000 rounds during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to approximately 37,000 rounds during the nine months ended September 30,
2024 despite the increase in average price per round by approximately 2% from $46 per round for the nine months ended September 30, 2023
to $47 per round for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Decrease in number of rounds was mainly due to more rainy days during
the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Decrease
in revenue from sales of food and beverage by $30,220 or 6% from $530,012 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $499,792 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was contributed by a decrease in quantities sold by 14% from approximately 92,000 pieces of
food and beverage for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to approximately 80,000 pieces of food and beverage for the nine months
ended September 30, 2024 and the average unit price remained stable at $6 per unit for both periods. The decrease in quantities sold
was in line with decrease in golf operations.
Decrease
in revenue from sales of merchandise by $16,410 or 15% from $107,861 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $91,451 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2024 was contributed by a decrease in sales of golf balls, men’s wear and headwear by 16% as a
result of the decrease in customers playing golf during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 which was mainly due to the decrease
in revenue from golf operations as a result of decrease in customers visiting our pro shops.
Ancillary
revenue mainly represented the equipment and facilities rental, including the lease of our clubhouse and lease of golf club to our customers.
The increase by $5,976 or 9% was mainly due to an increase in demand for rental services for activities and events during the nine months
ended September 30, 2024.
Comparison
for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Our
revenue is mainly comprised of golf operations, sales of food and beverage and sales of merchandise. Overall decrease in revenue period
over period by $2,575 or 1% was mainly due to the decrease in one-time green fees from golf operations and being partially offset by
an increase in annual membership dues by $41,648 or 106%.
One-time
green fees from golf operations accounted for 49% and 59% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Decrease in one-time green fees by 18% resulted from the decrease in total number of rounds by approximately 12% from approximately 7,000
rounds during the three months ended September 30, 2023 to approximately 6,000 rounds during the three months ended September 30, 2024
and the decrease in average price per round by 7% from approximately $37 per round in average for the three months ended September 30,
2023 to approximately $34 per round in average for the three months ended September 30, 2024 which was in turn attract more customers
to play golf after experiencing more rainy days during the period by offering lower price per round.
Revenue
from annual membership dues increased by $41,648 or 106% mainly due to the increase in demand from customers who paid annual membership
dues by enjoying a lower price for annual subscriptions for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
The
revenue from sales of food and beverages remained stable at $107,707 and $108,846 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023,
respectively.
Decrease
in revenue from sales of merchandise by $4,153 or 21% from $19,780 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $15,627 for the three
months ended September 30, 2024 was mainly caused by the decrease in sales of golf balls, men’s wear and headwear by 23% as a result
of the decrease in customers playing golf during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
29
Ancillary
revenue mainly represented the equipment and facilities rental, including the lease of our clubhouse and lease of golf club to our customers.

Accounts
receivables
Accounts
receivable mainly represent amounts due from customers paid by credit cards from provision of golf operations services and sales of merchandise
and food and beverages which are recorded net of allowance for expected credit losses. The decrease in accounts receivables from $36,299
as of December 31, 2023 to $18,740 as of September 30, 2024 was mainly due to the less customers who paid by credit cards near the end
of September 30, 2024.
Inventories
Our
inventories consist of merchandise goods such as golf balls, gloves, men’s wear and women’s wears, food and beverages. The
Company keeps low inventories since the turnaround time is short.
Deferred
offering costs
Deferred
offering costs consist of underwriting, legal and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to
the intended initial public offering (“IPO”). Deferred offering costs will be charged to shareholders’ equity netted
against the proceeds upon the completion of our proposed initial public offering (“IPO”). Should the IPO prove to be unsuccessful,
these deferred offering costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to statements of income. Such costs will
be deferred until the closing of the IPO, at which time the deferred costs will be offset against the offering proceeds and recognized
in equity of the Company. The increase of $321,876 was due to additional payment for expenses for listing purpose during the nine months
ended September 30, 2024.
Accounts
payable and accrued liabilities

payable and accrued liabilities represented the payable to the vendors for the course upkeep costs, credit cards charge payables, sales
tax payables and property tax payable. Decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities balance by $162,706 or 33% from $495,930
as of December 31, 2023 to $333,224 as of September 30, 2024 was mainly due to the decrease in accounts payable by $113,413 as a result
of settlement of payables to vendors outweighed the costs incurred to vendors during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Contract
liabilities – deferred revenue
Contract
liabilities – deferred revenue represented the annual membership dues received in advance before the usage of golf course by customers.
The decrease in this balance by $21,093 or 13% was mainly due to revenue recognized during the period outweighed the annual membership
dues being received in advance during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Cash
Flow Sufficiency
In
order to meet the debt obligations and operating needs of our business, our management expects to satisfy the cash flow needs and through
(i) maintaining stable relationships with banks in order to renew the bank borrowings upon maturity or to arrange for additional banking
facilities for use when necessary; (ii) closely monitoring the collection status of accounts receivable and actively following up with
our customers for settlements; (iii) diversifying and broadening our customer base to avoid reliance on particular customers and to expand
our sources of revenue and cash flow; (iv) effectively managing accounts payable and negotiating for longer credit periods from suppliers,
when necessary; (v) obtaining financial support from our Controlling Shareholder and investors to meet short-term operating expenses;
and (vi) continuing to focusing on improving operational efficiency and cost reductions and enhancing efficiency.
The
Company believes that, taking into consideration the present available banking facilities and internal financial resources we have, including
the current levels of cash and cash flows from operations, and the measures mentioned above, will be sufficient to meet its anticipated
cash needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of this report.
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Credit
Risk
The
Company’s principal financial assets are cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. The Company’s credit risk is
primarily concentrated in its cash which is held with institutions with a high credit worthiness. The Company has not experienced losses
on their accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to
these deposits is not significant.
Management
believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash.
The
Company mitigates its credit risk on receivables by actively managing and monitoring its receivables. The Company mitigates credit risk
by evaluating the creditworthiness of customers prior to conducting business with them and monitoring its exposure for credit losses
with existing customers. Since all accounts receivable as at years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for the nine months ended September
30, 2024 and 2023 are aged within one year and collected all receivables subsequent to year end, minimum credit risk was noted for accounts
receivable.
Vendor
concentration risk
As
of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company owed 81%, 85% and 84% of accounts payable to a key supplier, respectively.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, one vendor accounted for 32% and 28% of our total operating costs, respectively. No
other vendor accounts for more than 10% of our total operating costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
For
the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, one vendor accounted for 31% and 32% of our total operating costs, respectively. No other
vendor accounts for more than 10% of our total operating costs for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
For
the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, one vendor accounted for 36% and 28% of our total operating costs, respectively.
No other vendor accounts for more than 10% of our total operating costs for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
36
Interest
rate risk
Interest
rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as its financial liabilities carry interest at fixed rates.
Liquidity
risk
Liquidity
risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that
are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as
possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions,
without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
Typically,
the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of twelve months, including
through operations and financial support from our stockholders and financial institutions. We are continuing to focus on improving operational
efficiency and cost reductions and enhancing efficiency, as well as servicing of financial obligations: this excludes the potential impact
of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. Our ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon obtaining the necessary financing or negotiating the terms of the existing short-term liabilities to meet our current
and future liquidity needs.
Market
Risk
Market
risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. Our market risk exposure is generally limited to those
risks that arise in the normal course of business, as we do not engage in speculative, non-operating transactions, nor do we utilize
financial instruments or derivative instruments for trading purposes.
