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 annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025.
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.

Company announced the closing of its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 3,000,000
common stocks, US$ 0.001

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated
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 consolidated 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.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required
by the U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with the U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with 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 March 31, 2025, and results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
2025 and 2024. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 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, 2024 and 2023, and
related notes included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.
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 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 March 31, 2025
and December 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $ 8,322,178 and $ 457,142 , respectively.
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 March 31, 2025, was approximately $ 7,047,348 . 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
provision for 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 March 31, 2025
and December 31, 2024, 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 March
31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were subsequently settled before this report date.
Prepaid
expenses
Prepaid
expenses represent the prepayment for (i) the consultancy
service of $ 150,000 ;
(ii) the prepaid annual listing fee to Nasdaq of $ 64,166 ;
and (iii) director’s and officer’s liability insurance premium of $ 56,000 .
Regarding the consultancy service expense, the Company has engaged a third-party consultant to provide business development
regarding the acquisition of a new golf property and golf property management in Asia for a total consideration of $ 450,000
with service period of 36 months from March 15, 2025 to March 14, 2028. As of March 31, 2025, an aggregate of $ 350,000
was paid. The total amount in the contract will be amortized ratable to the service period since the services are expected to be
provided evenly through the contract period. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, $ 6,250
of consultancy service fee was recognized in statement of income and the remaining prepaid amount was recognized as prepaid expenses
with current portion of $ 150,000
and non-current portion of $ 193,750 .
Regarding the annual listing fee starting from February 12, 2025 (the date that the common stock of the Company commencing public
trading) after listing and prepaid obligation insurance for directors and officers starting from February
12, 2025 , the service contract has one year term and the prepaid amount was amortized throughout the contract period starting
from the date of contract and the amortization costs were recognized as other general and administration expenses while the
remaining balance amounting to $ 104,231 in aggregate was recognized as current portion of prepaid expenses.
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 boost the selling but higher than that of purchase price. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 operations. As of December 31, 2024, the Company deferred $ 582,679
of offering costs. As of March 31, 2025, all deferred
offering costs were charged against the gross proceeds upon the completion of IPO on February 13, 2025.
11
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 and recreational facilities, 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
Equipment, furniture and fixture
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 March 31, 2025 and December
31, 2024, no impairment of long-lived assets was recognized.
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.
12
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 parties
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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31,
2024 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.
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. All bank and other borrowings have been fully repaid upon listing.
13
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
three months ended March 31 ,2025 and 2024 and balances as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are set out in Note 8.
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.
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.
14
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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded contract liabilities - deferred revenue of $ 225,670
and $ 162,226 , 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.
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 expended 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.
15
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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents
the dilutive effect on a per common stock basis of the potential common stocks (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 stocks 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
three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no dilutive common stocks.
Segment Information
ASC 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 (“CODM”)
for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s
CEO is the CODM. Management, including the CODM, reviews operation results by revenue, gross profit and gross margin, operating expenses
and income from operations of different services, while revenue is the profitability measure used by the CODM in making decisions about
allocating resources and assessing performances. Based on management’s assessment, the Company has determined that it has only one
operating segment as defined by ASC 280, because the Company provides golf operations, sales of merchandise, food and beverage and provides
ancillary services to customers in most instances, and has only one team to provide products and services to customers. 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 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 consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
16
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 have adopted ASU 2023-06 during the current period and there is no material impact
on its 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 consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income
Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220-40): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”). This
update requires, among other things, more detailed disclosure about types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions such as cost
of sales and selling, general, and administrative expenses, and is intended to improve the disclosures about an entity’s expenses
including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of the on its 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 consolidated
balance sheets, statements of income and comprehensive income and statements of cash flows.

Note 1.
Common stock
The Company has authorized 450,000,000 shares of common
stock with a par value of $ 0.001 per share. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote, in person or proxy, on any matter
on which an action of the shareholders of the Company is sought.
The Company issued 5,440,000 shares of common stock
for the exchange of 100 ordinary shares owned by the shareholder of our acquired subsidiary, Pine Ridge.

Cheung Chi Ping and Mr. Cheung Yick Chung and Ms. Chan Lee are ultimately holding 50 %, 40 % and 10 % of the common stock of the Company.
On June 11, 2024, the Board of Directors approved
to effect a 1.25-for-1 reverse stock split for the issued common stocks, such that every holder of 1.25 shares of common stock of the
Company shall receive 1 share of common stock resulting in the issued common stocks to be 10,880,000 which are being held by Ace Champion

As a result, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31,
2024, 13,880,000 and 10,880,000 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding respectively.
Note 11 – 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 and the tax rates in effect when these differences
are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company
will not realize tax assets through future operations.
The Company is incorporated in the State of Nevada
and is not subject to tax on income or capital gains under current Nevada law. In addition, upon payments of dividends by these entities
to their shareholders, no Nevada withholding tax will be imposed.

NOLs which can be carried forward indefinitely.
The NOLs carry forwards are subject to certain limitations
due to the change in control of the Company pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
Note 12 – 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company
owed 80 % and 84 % of accounts payable to a key supplier, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024,
one vendor accounted for 26 % 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 March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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.
24
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.
Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments
We entered into operating leases for corporate office,
golf carts and golf equipment for terms of four to five years. Our commitments for minimum lease payment under these operating leases
as of March 31, 2025 are listed in section “Note 7 — “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.
Note 14 – Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated all events and
transactions that occurred after March 31, 2025 up through May 15, 2025, which is the date that these unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements are available to be issued, there were no other any material subsequent events that require disclosure in these
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2.
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 2025, we believe that we experienced more than average rainy days during the first two months causing
our revenue to be under pressure.
b.
Cost of maintenance due to inflation
The DTE Agreement was renewed in 2022 and
the renewed contractual price has been fully reflected in Q1 2025, the higher contractual price is a reflection of the inflationary environment
that subsequently impacted the labor, fertilizer and chemical markets. The maintenance cost and contract with DTE may be subject to further increases in 2025 if the inflationary environment continues
to impact our maintenance needs.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements and related disclosures have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The financial statements
have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”)
of the United States. They include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All transactions and balances among these
entities have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required
by the U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with the U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with 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 March 31, 2025, and results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
2025 and 2024. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 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, 2024 and 2023, and
related notes included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.
26
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.
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 provision for 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were subsequently settled before this report date.
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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no impairment of long-lived assets was recognized.
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 March 31,
2025 and December 31, 2024 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.
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.
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.
27
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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded
contract liabilities - deferred revenue of $225,670 and $162,226, 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.
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.

Our revenue is primarily comprised
of golf operations, sales of food and beverage and sales of merchandise. Overall decrease in revenue period over period by $225,264
or 14% was mainly due to the decrease in all revenue stream.
Revenue from golf operations
decreased by $191,941 or 16% from $1,220,881 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $1,028,940 for the three months ended
March 31, 2025, which was driven by the decrease in both one-time green fees from golf operations by $151,884 or 13% and annual membership dues from golf operations by $40,057 or 54%.
Revenue from annual membership dues accounted for
3% and 5% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. It decreased by 54% mainly due to more receipts in advance
closed to the period ended March 31, 2025 and will be deferred to be recognized as revenue during the fiscal year of 2025.
One-time green fees from golf operations accounted
for 75% and 74% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Decrease in one-time green fees by
13% resulted from the decrease in total number of rounds by 4% from approximately 23,000 rounds during the three months ended March 31,
2024 to approximately 22,000 rounds during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as well as the decrease in average price per round by
8% from $49 per round for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $45 per round for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to lower was offered to the players as a result of less tourists visiting Florida during the current period because of the
inflation.
Decrease in revenue from sales of food and beverage
by $19,458 or 8% from $245,261 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $225,803 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which
was contributed by the decrease in quantities sold by 8% from approximately 40,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to approximately
37,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the average unit price remained stable at $2 per unit for the three months ended
March 31, 2024 and $2 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in quantity sold was in line with decrease in golf operations.
Decrease in revenue from sales of merchandise by $6,588
or 13% from $51,092 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $44,504 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was contributed
by the decrease in sales of golf balls, men’s and ladies’ wear and gloves by 13% as a result of the decrease in sales to customers
playing golf during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Ancillary revenue mainly represented the equipment
and facilities rental, including the lease of our clubhouse and lease of golf club to our customers. The decrease by $7,277 or 20% was
mainly due to decrease in demand for rental services for activities and events during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Exclusive of depreciation and salaries and benefits shown separately above.
The operating expenses of the
Company mainly consist of costs related to golf operations, costs related to sales of food and beverage and merchandise, salaries
and benefits, depreciation and other miscellaneous administrative expenses. The overall operating expenses decreased from $1,073,525
for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $975,334 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was primarily due to the
decreases in golf operating costs and other general and administrative expenses and partially offset by the increase in salaries and
benefits during the current period with details discussed below.
Golf operating expenses consisted of course upkeep
expenses including the regular repair and maintenance of the golf courses and landscaping. Decrease in golf operating expenses by $67,972
or 17% from $391,231 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $323,259 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 which was attributable
to the decrease in golf course maintenance related expenses as a result of decrease in number of rounds by golf players and resulted in reduction in one-off course
maintenance and improvements projects carried out by Down-to-Earth.
The decrease in cost of food and beverage by $4,926
or 7% from $70,808 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $65,882 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was in line with the
decrease in sales of food and beverage.
Our cost of merchandise sales consisted of mainly
the purchase cost of golf balls, men’s and ladies’ wears and gloves. Decrease in cost of merchandise sales was in line with
the decrease in revenue from sales of merchandise.
Our salaries and benefits mainly
consisted of the director’s remuneration, the staff costs and welfare of management, operating team, cashier and
administrative personnel. The increase in salaries and benefits by $38,139 or 16% was primarily due to the increase in salaries paid
to the Chief Financial Officer by approximately $41,000 and the directors fee paid to the independent Directors by approximately $32,000 and partially offset by the decrease in director’s remuneration paid to Mr. Chi Ping Cheung by approximately $42,000.
Our depreciation is mainly derived from the recreational
building, golf carts, pump stations and other operating equipment. The depreciation remained stable at $50,784 and $50,007 for the three
months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively since no significant purchase or disposal of property and equipment.
Other general and administrative expenses mainly consisted
of professional fees, repair and maintenance of restaurant machineries and equipment, utilities, liability insurance, personal property
tax and real estate tax, credit card charges and other miscellaneous administrative expenses. Decrease in other general and administrative
expenses by $63,391 or 21% from $301,515 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $238,124 for the three months ended March 31, 2025
was mainly attributable to the decrease in audit and quarterly review fee for listing purposes.
Other income (expense)
Other income (expense) mainly
includes interest expenses regarding the bank and other borrowings incurred, bank interest income and additional service charges
from customers who paid by credit cards. The increase in other income was mainly due to the interest income generated from the
cash deposit in banks upon successful listing of common stocks in Nasdaq.
30
Income tax expenses
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 and the tax rates in effect when these differences
are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company
will not realize tax assets through future operations.
The components of the Company’s deferred tax
asset and reconciliation of income taxes computed at the new federal statutory rate of 21% to the income tax amount recorded for the three
months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
The Group evaluated the recoverable amounts of deferred
tax assets to the extent that future taxable profits will be available against which the NOLs and temporary difference can be utilized.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $352,053 of
net operating losses (“NOLs”) which can be carried forward indefinitely.
The NOLs carry forwards are subject to certain limitations
due to the change in control of the Company pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and income tax expenses of $159,982 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The effective tax rate increased from 32.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2024
to 35.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was mainly due to the increase in operating costs by the Company which is not
subject to income tax. Please refer

Our income for the three months
ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, was $266,212 and $329,384, respectively. The decrease in net income by $63,172 or 19% was mainly due
to the decrease in our revenue and the increase in our other income , being partially
offset by the decrease in our operating costs during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

cards near the period end.
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 IPO. Deferred offering costs will be charged
to shareholders’ 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. The deferred offering
costs was offset against the equity upon the listing during the current period which
resulted in nil balance as of March 31, 2025 .

prepa yment for (i) consultancy service of $150,000; (ii)
the prepaid annual listing fee to Nasdaq of $64,166; and (iii) director’s and officer’s liability insurance premium of

regarding the acquisition of a new golf property and golf property management in Asia for a total consideration of $450,000 with
service period of 36 months from March 15, 2025 to March 14, 2028. As of March 31, 2025, an aggregate of $350,000 was paid. The
total amount in the contract will be amortized ratable to the service period since the services are expected to be provided evenly
through the contract period. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, $6,250 of consultancy service fee was recognized in
statement of income and the remaining prepaid amount was recognized as prepaid expenses with current portion of $150,000 and
non-current portion of $193,750. Regarding the annual listing fee starting from February 12, 2025 (the date that the common stock of
the Company commencing public trading) after listing and prepaid obligation insurance for directors and officers starting from

settlement of accrued audit fee by $60,000 and decrease in property tax payable by approximately $78,000 due to the settlement of
$102,000 during the current period.
Contract liabilities – deferred revenue

March 31, 2025.
32

various financial institutions for working capital purpose. The decrease in bank and other borrowings was mainly due to full

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 successfully raised a total net proceed of $10.65 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commission and other offering
expenses, from its initial public offering on February 13, 2025.
The Company believes that, taking into consideration
the successful listing in February 2025 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company
owed 80% and 84% of accounts payable to a key supplier, respectively.
36
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024,
one vendor accounted for 26% 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 March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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.
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.
