Exhibits 69 SIGNATURES 70 CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”), including, without limitation, statements under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including but not limited to, the words “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “potential,” “projects,” “predicts,” “continues,” or “should,” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on management's current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. However, actual results may differ materially due to various factors, including, but not limited to: · our goals and strategies, including our ability to expand our automobile transaction and related services business and our ride-hailing platform business in China; · our management’s ability to properly develop and achieve any future business growth and any improvements in our financial condition and results of operations; · the impact by public health epidemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic as manifested in China, on the industries we operate in and our business, results of operations and financial condition; · the growth or lack of growth in China of disposable household income and the availability and cost of credit available to finance car purchases; · the growth or lack of growth of China's ride-hailing, automobile financing and leasing industries; · taxes and other incentives or disincentives related to car purchases and ownership; · fluctuations in the sales and price of new and used cars and consumer acceptance of financing car purchases; · changes in ride-hailing, transportation networks and other fundamental changes in transportation patterns in China; · our expectations regarding demand for and market acceptance of our products and services; · our expectations regarding our customer base; · our plans to invest in our automobile transaction and related services business and our ride-hailing platform business; · our ability to maintain positive relationships with our business partners; · competition in the ride-hailing, automobile financing and leasing industries in China; · macro-economic and political conditions affecting the global economy generally and the market in China specifically; and · relevant Chinese government policies and regulations relating to the industries in which we operate. You should read this Report and the documents that we refer to in this Report with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect. Other sections of this Report and our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. This Report also contains statistical data and estimates that we obtained from industry publications and reports generated by third-parties. Although we have not independently verified the data, we believe that the publications and reports are reliable. The market data contained in this Report involves a number of assumptions, estimates and limitations. The ride-hailing and automobile financing markets in China may not grow at the rates projected by market data, or at all. The failure of these markets to grow at the projected rates may have a material adverse effect on our business and the market price of our common stock. If any one or more of the assumptions underlying the market data turns out to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industries in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described herein or our other reports filed with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. 3 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 1. Financial Statements.

The Company provides automobile transaction and related services focusing on the ride-hailing industry in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”) through its wholly owned subsidiary, Yicheng Financial Leasing Co., Ltd., a PRC limited liability company (“Yicheng”), and its majority owned subsidiary, Hunan Ruixi Financial Leasing Co., Ltd., a PRC limited liability company (“Hunan Ruixi”), its wholly owned subsidiary, Hunan Ruixi Automobile Leasing Co., Ltd., a PRC limited liability company (“Ruixi Leasing”), and its variable interest entity (“VIE”), Sichuan Jinkailong Automobile Leasing Co., Ltd., a PRC limited liability company (“Jinkailong”). As described further below, since October 2020, the Company also operates an online ride-hailing platform (known as Xixingtianxia) through Hunan Xixingtianxia Technology Co., Ltd. , a PRC limited liability company (“XXTX”), which is a majority owned subsidiary of Sichuan Senmiao Zecheng Business Consulting Co., Ltd., a PRC limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Senmiao Consulting”). The Company’s ride hailing platform enables qualified ride-hailing drivers to provide application based transportation services in Chengdu, Changsha, Neijiang and Panzhihua, China. Substantially all of the Company’s operations are conducted in China. The Company previously operated an online lending platform in China through its VIE, Sichuan Senmiao Ronglian Technology Co., Ltd. (“Sichuan Senmiao”), which facilitated peer-to-peer (“P2P”) loan transactions between Chinese investors and individual and small-to-medium-sized enterprise borrowers. The Company ceased its online lending services business in October 2019. Hunan Ruixi holds a business license for automobile sales and financial leasing and has been engaged in automobile financial leasing services and automobile sales since March 2019 and January 2019, respectively. Hunan Ruixi also controls Jinkailong through its 35% equity interest and voting agreements with Jinkailong’s other shareholders. Jinkailong facilitates automobile sales and financing transactions for its clients, who are primarily ride-hailing drivers and provides them operating lease and relevant after-transaction services. Yicheng has been engaged in automobile sales since June 2019. On July 4, 2020, Hunan Ruixi, Jinkailong and the other shareholders of Jinkailong entered into an agreement (the “JKL Investment Agreement”) with Hongyi Industrial Group Co., Ltd. (“Hongyi”). Pursuant to the JKL Investment Agreement, Jinkailong agreed to issue and Hongyi agreed to subscribe for an approximately 27.03% equity interest in Jinkailong in consideration of RMB50 million (approximately $7.0 million) (the “Investment”). The Investment will be made in two payments: (i) the first payment of RMB10 million (approximately $1.4 million) was due no later than December 31, 2020 and (ii) the remaining RMB40 million (approximately $5.6 million) is due within 30 days after the record-filing of the Investment has been made with the local PRC government and the other shareholders of Jinkailong having made their respective capital contributions in full in cash, but no later than December 31, 2020. As a result, Hunan Ruixi will be required to pay RMB3.5 million (approximately $0.5 million) to Jinkailong as a capital contribution. According to the latest arrangement with Hongyi, the first payment of RMB10 million has been postponed and the total investment of RMB50 million will be made before March 31, 2021. As a result, as of December 31, 2020, neither Hunan Ruixi nor the other shareholders of Jinkailong paid any capital contribution to Jinkailong, nor the record-filing of the Investment has been made with the local PRC government. As of the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, Hongyi has not made the payment. The JKL Investment Agreement also provides Hongyi certain shareholder rights, including, but not limited to, the right to receive any undistributed dividends, a right of first refusal for any equity transfer from the other shareholders of Jinkailong, a tag-along right during the performance commitment period, anti-dilution rights, redemption rights, subscription rights and priority in liquidation or dissolution of Jinkailong. Specifically, pursuant to the redemption right provision in the JKL Investment Agreement, in the event that Jinkailong (i) fails to become public through an initial public offering for a valuation of no less than RMB350 million (approximately $49.5 million) or merge with a public company for a valuation of no less than RMB300 million (approximately $42.5 million) within the six months following the performance commitment period, (ii) fails to achieve an accumulated net profit of RMB24 million (approximately $3.4 million) for the first two years of the performance commitment period or a net profit of RMB20 million (approximately $2.9 million) for the third year of the performance commitment period, or (iii) has any material and adverse change to its core business, including but not limited to being included in the list of dishonest persons and loss of over one third of its online ride-hailing taxi operating licenses, as well as bankruptcy, liquidation or cessation of operations, Hongyi shall have the right to require certain shareholders of Jinkailong (including Hunan Ruixi) to repurchase all of its equity interest in Jinkailong. Based on a repurchase formula provided for in the JKL Investment Agreement, the maximum repurchase amount that Hunan Ruixi would be subject to is RMB28,320,000 (approximately $4.0 million). 9 On September 11, 2020, Senmiao Consulting entered into an Investment Agreement relating to XXTX with all the original shareholders of XXTX, pursuant to which Senmiao Consulting will make an investment of RMB3.16 million in XXTX in cash and obtain a 51% equity interest accordingly. On October 23, 2020, the registration procedures for the change in shareholders and registered capital were completed and XXTX became a majority owned subsidiary of Senmiao Consulting. As of the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, Senmiao Consulting has made a capital contribution of RMB1.0 million (approximately $0.2 million) to XXTX and the remaining amount is expected to be paid before December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, XXTX had eight wholly owned subsidiaries and only one of them has operations. In December 2020, Senmiao Consulting formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Chengdu Kuneng Jiecheng Technology Co., Ltd. (“Kuneng”), with a registered capital of RMB10 million (approximately $1.6 million) in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province. In December 2020, Hunan Ruixi and a third party jointly formed a subsidiary, Chengdu Xichuang Technology Service Co., Ltd. (“Xichuang”), with a registered capital of RMB200,000 (approximately $32,000) in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province. Hunan Ruixi holds 70% of the equity interests of Xichuang. As of December 31, 2020, neither Kuneng nor Xichuang has commenced operating. The following diagram illustrates the Company’s corporate structure, including its subsidiaries, and VIEs, as of the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements: VIE Agreements with Sichuan Senmiao According to the VIE Agreements, Sichuan Senmiao is obligated to pay Senmiao Consulting service fees equal to its net income. Sichuan Senmiao’s entire operations are controlled by the Company. Although the Company discontinued Sichuan Senmiao’s online P2P lending services business commencing in October 2019, the VIE Agreements remain in place, and such agreements are described in detail below: Equity Interest Pledge Agreement Senmiao Consulting, Sichuan Senmiao and the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders entered into an Equity Interest Pledge Agreement, pursuant to which the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders pledged all of their equity interest in Sichuan Senmiao to Senmiao Consulting in order to guarantee the performance of Sichuan Senmiao’s obligations under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement as described below. During the term of the pledge, Senmiao Consulting is entitled to receive any dividends declared on the pledged equity interest of Sichuan Senmiao. The Equity Interest Pledge Agreement terminates when all contractual obligations under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement have been fully performed. Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement Pursuant to an Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement entered by and among the Company, Senmiao Consulting, Sichuan Senmiao and each of Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders, Senmiao Consulting will provide Sichuan Senmiao with complete technical support, business support and related consulting services for 10 years ended September 18, 2027. The Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders and Sichuan Senmiao will not engage any third party for the same or similar consultation services without Senmiao Consulting’s prior consent. Further, the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders are entitled to receive an aggregate of 20,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement. Senmiao Consulting may terminate the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement at any time upon prior written notice to Sichuan Senmiao and the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders. 10 Exclusive Option Agreement Pursuant to an Exclusive Option Agreement entered by and among Senmiao Consulting, Sichuan Senmiao and the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders, the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders have granted Senmiao Consulting an exclusive option to purchase at any time their equity interests in Sichuan Senmiao at a purchase price equal to the capital paid by the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders in whole or at a pro-rated price for any partial purchase. The Exclusive Option Agreement terminates after 10 years ending September 18, 2027 but can be renewed by Senmiao Consulting at its discretion. Powers of Attorney Each of the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders has signed a power of attorney (the “Power of Attorney”), pursuant to which, each of the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders has authorized Senmiao Consulting to act as his or her exclusive agent and attorney with respect to all rights of such individual as a shareholder of Sichuan Senmiao, including but not limited to: (a) attending shareholders’ meetings; (b) exercising all the shareholder’s rights that shareholders are entitled to under PRC laws and the Articles of Association of Sichuan Senmiao, including but not limited to voting, sale, transfer, pledge and disposition of the equity interests of Sichuan Senmiao; and (c) designating and appointing the legal representative, chairperson, director, supervisor, chief executive officer and other senior management members of Sichuan Senmiao. The Power of Attorney has the same term as the Exclusive Option Agreement. Timely Report Agreement The Company and Sichuan Senmiao entered into a Timely Report Agreement, pursuant to which, Sichuan Senmiao agrees to make its officers and directors available to the Company and promptly provide all information required by the Company so that the Company can make necessary filings to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other regulatory reports in a timely fashion. The Company has concluded that it should consolidate the financial statements with Sichuan Senmiao because it is Sichuan Senmiao’s primary beneficiary based on the Power of Attorney from the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders, who assigned their rights as shareholders of Sichuan Senmiao to Senmiao Consulting, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. These rights include, but are not limited to, attending shareholders’ meetings, voting on matters submitted for shareholder approval and appointing legal representatives, directors, supervisors and senior management of Sichuan Senmiao. As a result, the Company, through Senmiao Consulting, is deemed to hold all of the voting equity interests in Sichuan Senmiao. Pursuant to Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement, Senmiao Consulting shall provide complete technical support, business support and related consulting services for 10 years. Though not explicit in the VIE Agreements, the Company may provide financial support to Sichuan Senmiao to meet its working capital requirements and capitalization purposes. The terms of the VIE Agreements and the Company’s plan to provide financial support to Sichuan Senmiao were considered in determining that the Company is the primary beneficiary of Sichuan Senmiao. Accordingly, the financial statements of Sichuan Senmiao are consolidated in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Voting Agreement with Jinkailong’s Other Shareholders Hunan Ruixi entered into two voting agreements signed in August 2018 and February 2020, respectively, as amended (the “Voting Agreement”), with Jinkailong and other Jinkailong’s shareholders holding an aggregate of 65% equity interests and obtained 35% equity interests in Jinkailong. Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, all other Jinkailong’s shareholders will vote in concert with Hunan Ruixi on all fundamental corporate transactions in the event of a disagreement for periods of 20 years and 18 years, respectively, ending on August 25, 2038. The Company has concluded that it should consolidate the financial statements with Jinkailong because it is Jinkailong’s primary beneficiary based on the Voting Agreement. Though not explicit in the Voting Agreement by and among Jinkailong, Hunan Ruixi, and other shareholders of Hunan Ruixi, the Company may provide financial support to Jinkailong to meet its working capital requirements and capitalization purposes. The terms of the Voting Agreement and the Company’s plan to provide financial support to Jinkailong were considered in determining that the Company is the primary beneficiary of Jinkailong. Accordingly, management has determined that Jinkailong is a VIE and the financial statements of Jinkailong are consolidated in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 11 Total assets and total liabilities of the Company’s VIEs included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020 are as follows: December 31, 2020 March 31, 2020 (Unaudited) Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 345,944 $ 247,671 Restricted Cash 5,190 - Accounts receivable, net, current portion 667,467 66,768 Prepayments, other receivables and other assets, net 1,615,131 1,500,784 Other receivable- intercompany 1,334,567 2,211 Due from related parties 69,099 26,461 Current assets - discontinued operations (1) 668,663 1,363,972 Total current assets 4,706,061 3,207,867 Property and equipment, net: Property and equipment, net 510,856 317,427 Property and equipment, net - discontinued operations 3,540 3,895 Total property and equipment, net 514,396 321,322 Other assets: Operating lease right-of-use assets, net 284,639 317,258 Operating lease right-of-use assets, net, related parties 11,090 50,213 Financing lease right-of-use assets, net 5,110,181 5,440,362 Accounts receivable, net, non-current 357,308 720,916 Total other assets 5,763,218 6,528,749 Total assets $ 10,983,675 $ 10,057,938 Current liabilities: Borrowings from financial institutions $ 426,715 $ 226,753 Accounts payable 1,583 4,018 Advances from customers 42,332 34,374 Income tax payable 17,467 16,106 Accrued expenses and other liabilities 3,109,544 1,632,617 Other payable - intercompany 6,760,460 5,143,463 Due to related parties and affiliates 168,837 152,679 Operating lease liabilities 62,380 78,981 Operating lease liabilities - related parties 6,318 37,378 Financing lease liabilities 4,791,111 3,473,967 Current liabilities - discontinued operations (2) 2,661,279 7,561,603 Total current liabilities 18,048,026 18,361,939 Other liabilities: Borrowings from financial institutions, non-current 41,330 58,572 Operating lease liabilities, non-current 202,408 231,825 Operating lease liabilities, non-current - related parties 5,113 - Financing lease liabilities, non-current 2,515,025 2,576,094 Total other liabilities 2,763,876 2,866,491 Total liabilities $ 20,811,902 $ 21,228,430 (1) Includes intercompany receivables of $178,428 and $543,446 as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. (2) Includes intercompany payables of $35,912 and $402,406 as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. 12 Net revenue, income (loss) from operations and net loss of the VIEs that were included in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows: For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended December 31, December 31, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) Net revenue from continuing operations $ 1,157,146 $ 549,330 $ 2,925,839 $ 2,302,940 Net revenue from discontinued operations $ 1,642 $ 4,294 $ 6,196 $ 112,618 Income (loss) from operations from continuing operations $ (985,172 ) $ (53,999 ) $ (3,551,034 ) $ 600,455 Loss from operations from discontinued operations $ (2,238 ) $ (206,234 ) $ (84,692 ) $ (1,001,493 ) Net Income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to stockholders $ (972,620 ) $ (116,991 ) $ (2,911,651 ) $ 95,976 Net loss from discontinued operations attributable to stockholders (8,212 ) (4,094,558 ) (233,977 ) (4,870,090 ) Net loss attributable to stockholders $ (980,832 ) $ (4,211,549 ) $ (3,145,628 ) $ (4,774,114 ) 2. GOING CONCERN In assessing the Company’s liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash on-hand and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. Debt financing from financial institutions and equity financings have been utilized to finance the working capital requirements of the Company. The Company’s business is capital intensive. The Company’s management has considered whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern due to (1) recurring losses from operations, including net loss of approximately $8.6 million and $0.1 million from continuing operations and discontinued operations, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, (2) accumulated deficit of approximately $30.9 million as of December 31, 2020; (3) the working capital deficit of approximately $5.6 million as of December 31, 2020; (4) operating cash outflows of approximately $0.2 million and $1.6 million from continuing operations and discontinued operations, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and (5) the purchase commitment of $8.3 million to be completed in 2021. Although the Company believes that it can realize its current assets in the normal course of business, the Company’s ability to repay its current obligations will depend on the future realization of its current assets and the future operating revenues generated from its operations. On February 10, 2021, the Company completed a registered direct offering of 5,072,465 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.38 per share, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors. As a result, the Company raised approximately $5.7 million, net of placement agent fees and offering expenses, to support the Company’s working capital requirements. After the completion of the registered direct offering, the Company expects its working capital to change from a deficit of approximately $5.6 million to a positive working capital of approximately $0.1 million. However, management has determined there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to generate significant revenue, the Company may be required to cease or curtail its operations. Management is trying to alleviate the going concern risk through the following sources: ● the Company will continue to seek equity financing to support its working capital; ● other available sources of financing (including debt) from PRC banks and other financial institutions; and ● financial support and credit guarantee commitments from the Company’s related parties. In addition, pursuant to the JKL Investment Agreement mentioned above, Hongyi agreed to subscribe for a 27.03% equity interest in Jinkailong in consideration of approximately $7.0 million. Such investment from Hongyi will provide additional cash flow of approximately $7.0 million to support Jinkailong’s working capital requirements. According to the latest arrangement with Hongyi, the first payment of $1.4 million has been postponed and the total investment of $7.0 million will be made before March 31, 2021 and as of the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, Hongyi has not made the payment. Based on the above considerations, management is of the opinion that the Company would not have sufficient funds to meet its working capital requirements and debt obligations as they become due one year from the issuance date of these financial statements. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in implementing the foregoing plans or that additional financing will be available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. There are a number of factors that could potentially arise that could undermine the Company’s plans, such as (i) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business and areas of operations in China, (ii) changes in the demand for the Company’s services, (iii) PRC government policies, (iv) economic conditions in China and worldwide, (v) competitive pricing in the automobile transaction and related service and ride-hailing industries, (vi) changes in the Company’s relationships with key business partners, (vii) that financial institutions in China may not able to provide continued financial support to the Company’s customers, and (viii) the perception of PRC-based companies in the U.S. capital markets. The Company’s inability to secure needed financing when required could require material changes to the Company’s business plans and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s viability and results of operations. 13 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of presentation The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The unaudited interim financial information as of December 31, 2020 and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and pursuant to Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, which was filed with the SEC on July 9, 2020. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited financial position as of December 31, 2020, its unaudited results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its unaudited cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, as applicable, have been made. The unaudited interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods. (b) Basis of consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the subsidiaries and VIEs. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (c) Foreign currency translation Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates on the date of the balance sheet. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations. The reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries and VIEs is U.S. dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. However, the Company maintains the books and records in its functional currency, Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), being the functional currency of the economic environment in which its operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$, are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries and VIEs are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity. 14 Translation of amounts from RMB into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods: December 31, 2020 March 31, 2020 Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts 6.5306 7.0 824 For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Items in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss 6.6224 7.0600 For the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Items in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and statements of cash flows 6.8726 6.9620 (d) Use of estimates In presenting the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgement and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates and assumptions using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. The Company bases its estimates on past experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. The inputs into our judgments and estimates consider the economic implications of COVID-19 on the Company’s critical and significant accounting estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, revenue recognition, residual values, lease classification and liabilities, finance lease receivables, inventory obsolescence, right-of-use assets, determinations of the useful lives and valuation of long-lived assets and goodwill, estimates of allowances for doubtful accounts and prepayments, estimates of impairment of intangible assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, estimated fair value used in business acquisitions, valuation of derivative liabilities, allocation of fair value of derivative liabilities, issuance of common stock and warrants exercised and other provisions and contingencies. (e) Fair values of financial instruments Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying value of the Company. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows: Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020: Carrying Value at December 31, 2020 Fair Value Measurement at December 31, 2020 (Unaudited) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Derivative liabilities $ 1,043,430 $ - $ - $ 1,043,430 Carrying Value at March 31, 2020 Fair Value Measurement at March 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Derivative liabilities $ 342,530 $ - $ - $ 342,530 15 The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and for the year ended March 31, 2020: For the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2020 For the Year Ended March 31, 2020 (Unaudited) Beginning balance $ 342,530 $ - Derivative liabilities recognized at grant date on June 20, 2019 - 3,150,006 Derivative liabilities recognized at grant date on August 4, 2020 241,919 - Change in fair value of derivative liabilities 1,443,784 (1,796,724 ) Fair value of Series B warrants exercised - (1,010,752 ) Fair value of Series A warrants exercised (984,803 ) - Ending balance $ 1,043,430 $ 342,530 On June 21, 2019, the Company closed a registered direct offering of an aggregate of 1,781,361 shares of common stock, and in connection therewith, issued to the investors (i) for no additional consideration, Series A warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,336,021 shares of common stock, (ii) for nominal additional consideration, Series B warrants to purchase up to a maximum aggregate of 1,116,320 shares of common stock and (iii) placement agent warrants to purchase up to 142,509 shares of common stock. On August 6, 2020, the Company completed a public offering of 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.50 per share (the “Offering Price”), pursuant to an underwriting agreement with The Benchmark Company, LLC and Axiom Capital Management, Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”). On August 13, 2020, the Underwriters exercised their rights to purchase an additional 1,800,000 shares of common stock at the Offering Price. In connection with the offering, the Company issued the Underwriters, on a private placement basis, warrants to purchase up to 568,000 shares of common stock (the “Underwriters’ Warrants”). The Underwriters’ Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years commencing six months from August 4, 2020 at a price per share equal to 125% of the Offering Price and are exercisable on a “cashless” basis. The strike price of the Company’s Series A and Series B warrants, the placement agent warrants and the Underwriters’ Warrants are denominated in US$ and the Company’s functional currency is RMB, therefore, those warrant shares are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock which should be classified as derivative liability. The Company’s Series A and Series B warrants, the placement agent warrants and the Underwriters’ Warrants are not traded in an active securities market; therefore, the Company estimates the fair value to those warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation model on June 20, 2019 (the grant date), August 4, 2020 (the grant date), March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2020.

The non-current portion of accounts receivables, finance lease receivables, and operating and financing lease liabilities were recorded at gross adjusted for the interest using the effective interest rate method. The Company believes that the effective interest rates underlying these instruments approximate their fair values because the Company used its incremental borrowing rate to recognize the present value of these instruments as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020. Other than as listed above, the Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value. (f) Business combinations and non-controlling interests The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 "Business Combinations." The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the acquisition date fair value of the assets transferred to the sellers and liabilities incurred by the Company and equity instruments issued. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of (i) the total costs of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the unaudited condensed consolidated income statements. During the measurement period, which can be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the unaudited condensed consolidated income statements. For the Company's non-wholly owned subsidiaries, a non-controlling interest is recognized to reflect portion of equity that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. The cumulative results of operations attributable to non-controlling interests are also recorded as non-controlling interests in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Cash flows related to transactions with non-controlling interests are presented under financing activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (g) Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), which is comprised of certain members of the Company's management team. Historically, the Company had one single operating and reportable segment, namely the provision of an online lending services. During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company acquired Hunan Ruixi and Jinkailong. During the nine months ended December 31, 2020, the Company acquired XXTX. The Company evaluated how the CODM manages the businesses of the Company to maximize efficiency in allocating resources and assessing performance. The Company has discontinued the online P2P lending services segment and has only one segment in the periods after October 17, 2019. 17 (h) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. Cash and cash equivalents also consist of funds received from automobile purchasers as payment for automobiles, related insurances and taxes to be paid on behalf of the automobile purchasers, which funds were held at the third party platforms’ fund accounts and which are unrestricted and immediately available for withdrawal and use. (i) Restricted cash Restricted cash consists of fund held in the bank accounts of Jinkailong was frozen by a court order due to the default of Langyue Automobile Services Co., Ltd. (“Langyue”), a prior business partner whom Jinkailong provided a guarantee to , under the Master Contract (as defined below in Note 18) . As of December 31, 2020, the freeze on all bank accounts, except two accounts in a bank in the process of being unfrozen, have been released. The restricted cash of Jinkailong was RMB33,892 (approximately $5,190) as of December 31, 2020 and has been fully released on January 7, 2021. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (230): Restricted Cash. The amendments in this Update require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier adoption is permitted. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company adopted this guidance in all periods presented. (j) Accounts receivable, net Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount less an allowance for any uncollectible accounts and do not bear interest, and are due on demand. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance when necessary. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $79,355 and $379,689, respectively. (k) Inventories Inventories consist of automobiles which are held primarily for sale and for leasing purposes, and are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, as determined using the weighted average cost method. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and if applicable, an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its net realizable value, if lower than cost. On an ongoing basis, inventories are reviewed for potential write-down for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventories which equals the difference between the costs of inventories and the estimated net realizable value based upon forecasts for future demand and market conditions. When inventories are written-down to the lower of cost or net realizable value, it is not marked up subsequently based on changes in underlying facts and circumstances. (l) Finance lease receivables, net Finance lease receivables, which result from sales-type leases, are measured at discounted present value of (i) future minimum lease payments, (ii) any residual value not subject to a bargain purchase option as a finance lease receivables on its balance sheet and (iii) accrued interest on the balance of the finance lease receivables based on the interest rate inherent in the applicable lease over the term of the lease. Management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance when necessary. Finance lease receivables is charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Company determined no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary for finance lease receivables. 18 As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, finance lease receivables consisted of the following: December 31, 2020 March 31, 2020 (Unaudited) Minimum lease payments receivable 1,566,517 1,606,230 Less: Unearned interest (392,307 ) (412,975 ) Financing lease receivables, net $ 1,174,210 $ 1,193,255 Finance lease receivables, net, current portion $ 672,960 $ 459,110 Finance lease receivables, net, non-current portion $ 501,250 $ 734,145 Future scheduled minimum lease payments for investments in sales-type leases as of December 31, 2020 are as follows: Minimum future payments receivable Twelve months ending December 31, 2021 $ 488,137 Twelve months ending December 31, 2022 692,388 Twelve months ending December 31, 2023 353,208 Twelve months ending December 31, 2024 32,784 Total $ 1,566,517 (m) Property and equipment, net Property and equipment primarily consist of computer equipment, which is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation less any provision required for impairment in value. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method with no residual value based on the estimated useful life. The useful life of property and equipment is summarized as follows: Categories Useful life Leasehold improvements Shorter of the remaining lease terms or estimated useful lives Computer equipment 2 - 5 years Office equipment 3 - 5 years Automobiles 3 - 5 years The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the future net undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset, if any, exceeds its fair value determined using a discounted cash flow model. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, the impairment for property and equipment was $10,342. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, there was no impairment recorded for property and equipment. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets disposed of or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. (n) Intangible assets, net Purchased intangible assets are recognized and measured at fair value upon acquisition. Separately identifiable intangible assets that have determinable lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method as follows: Categories Useful life Software 5-10 years Online ride-hailing platform operating license 5 years Separately identifiable intangible assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss for identifiable intangible assets is based on the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no impairment of intangible assets. 19 (o) Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiaries at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually, more often when circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. If impairment exists, goodwill is immediately written off to its fair value and the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. The Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred. The Company has the opinion to access qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step in accordance with ASC 350-20. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative carrying amount, the two-step quantities impairment test described below is required. The first step compares the fair values of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step will not be required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to accounting for a business acquisition with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. Estimating fair value is performed by utilizing various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow. If impairment exists, goodwill is immediately written off to its fair value and the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. For the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, no impairment was recorded for goodwill. (p) Earnings (loss) per share Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock, adjusted for outstanding shares of common stock that are subject to repurchase. For the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, net income (loss) attributable to stockholders for basic earnings (loss) per share is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, including share-based awards, under the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities, of which the amounts are insignificant, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share if their inclusion is anti-dilutive. (q) Derivative liabilities A contract is designated as an asset or a liability and is carried at fair value on the Company’s balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in the Company’s results of operations. The Company then determines which options, warrants and embedded features require liability accounting and records the fair value as a derivative liability. The changes in the values of these instruments are shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as “change in fair value of derivative liabilities”. (r) Revenue recognition The Company recognized its revenue under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. It also requires the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. To achieve that core principle, the Company applies the five steps defined under ASC 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. 20 The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when the contract is committed in writing, the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and consideration to collect is substantially probable. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding contracts for automobile transaction and related services amounting to $534,065, of which $316,715 is expected to be completed within twelve months after December 31, 2020, and $217,350 is expected to be completed after December 31, 2021. Disaggregated information of revenues by business lines are as follows: For the Three Months Ended December 31, For the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) Automobile Transaction and Related Services (Continuing Operations) - Revenues from sales of automobiles $ 104,329 $ 1,987,433 $ 527,961 $ 10,828,063 - Operating lease revenues from automobile rentals 939,645 - 2,136,078 - - Service fees from automobile purchase services 18,968 352,351 179,545 1,609,361 - Facilitation fees from automobile transactions 30 21,031 1,646 164,294 - Service fees from management and guarantee services 41,523 128,893 315,124 313,548 - Financing revenues 74,155 44,149 178,589 105,413 - Other service fees 155,365 211,722 532,384 622,750 Total Revenues from Automobile Transaction and Related Services (Continuing Operations) 1,334,015 2,745,579 3,871,327 13,643,429 Online Ride-hailing Platform Services (Continuing Operations) 304,535 - 304,535 - Online Lending Services (Discontinued Operations) - Transaction fees 56 1,160 2,572 72,394 - Service fees 1,586 3,134 3,624 24,990 - Website development revenue - - - 15,234 Total Revenues from Online Lending Services (Discontinued Operations) 1,642 4,294 6,196 112,618 Total Revenues $ 1,640,192 $ 2,749,873 $ 4,182,058 $ 13,756,047 Automobile transaction and related services Sales of automobiles – The Company generates revenue from sales of automobiles to the customers of Jinkailong and Hunan Ruixi. The control over the automobile is transferred to the purchaser along with the delivery of automobile. The amount of the revenue is based on the sale price agreed by Hunan Ruixi or Yicheng and the counterparties, including Jinkailong, who acts on behalf of its customers. The Company recognizes revenues when the automobile is delivered and control is transferred to the purchaser at a point in time. Service fees from automobile purchase services – Services fees from automobile purchase services are paid by automobile purchasers for a series of the services provided to them throughout the purchase process such as credit assessment, preparation of financing application materials, assistance with closing of financing transactions, license and plate registration, payment of taxes and fees, purchase of insurance, installment of GPS devices, ride-hailing driver qualification and other administrative procedures. The amount of these fees is based on the sales price of the automobiles and relevant services provided. The Company recognizes revenue when all the services are completed and the automobile is delivered to the purchaser at a point in time. 21 Facilitation fees from automobile transactions – Facilitation fees from automobile purchase transactions are paid by the Company’s customers including third-party sales teams or the automobile purchasers for the facilitation of the sales and financing of automobiles. The Company attracts automobile purchasers through third-party sales teams or its own sales department. For the sales facilitated between third-party sales teams and automobile purchasers, the Company charges the fees to the third-party sales teams, which derived from the commission paid by the automobile purchasers to the third-party sales teams. Relating to sales facilitated between automobile purchasers and dealers, the Company charges the fees to the automobile purchasers. The Company recognizes revenue from facilitation fees when the titles are transferred to the purchasers at a point in time. The amount of fees is based on the type of automobile and negotiation with each sales team or automobile purchaser. The fees charged to third-party sales teams or automobile purchasers are paid before the automobile purchase transactions are consummated. These fees are non-refundable upon the delivery of automobiles. Service fees from management and guarantee services – Over 95% of the Company’s customers are online ride-hailing drivers. The drivers sign affiliation agreements with the Company, pursuant to which the Company provides them with management and guarantee services during the affiliation period. Service fees for management and guarantee services are paid by such automobile purchasers on a monthly basis for the management and guarantee services provided during the affiliation period. The Company recognizes revenue over the affiliation period when performance obligations are completed. Financing revenues – Interest income from the lease arising from the Company’s sales-type leases and bundled lease arrangements are recognized as financing revenues over the lease term based on the effective rate of interest in the lease. Operating lease revenues from automobile rentals –The Company generates revenue from sub-leasing automobiles from some online ride-hailing drivers or leasing its own automobiles. The Company recognizes revenue wherein the automobile is transferred to the leasee and the leasee has the ability to control the asset, is accounted for under ASC Topic 842. Rental transactions are satisfied over the rental period. Rental periods are short term in nature, generally are twelve months or less. Online ride-hailing platform services The Company generates revenue from providing services to online ride-hailing drivers (“Drivers”) to assist them in providing transportation services to riders ("Riders") looking for taxi/ride-hailing services. The Company earns commissions for each completed ride in an amount equal to the difference between an upfront quoted fare and the amount earned by a Driver based on actual time and distance for the ride charged to the Rider. As a result, the Company bears a single performance obligation in the transaction of connecting Drivers with Riders to facilitate the completion of a successful transportation service for Riders. The Company recognizes revenue upon completion of a ride as the single performance obligation is satisfied and the Company has the right to receive payment for the services rendered upon the completion of the ride. The Company evaluates the presentation of revenue on a gross or net basis based on whether it controls the service provided to the Rider and is the principal (i.e. “gross”), or it arranges for other parties to provide the service to the Rider and is an agent (i.e. "net"). Since the Company is not primarily responsible for ride-hailing services provided to Riders, it does not have inventory risk related to the services. Thus, the Company recognizes revenue at a net basis. Leases On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC Topic 842). This update, as well as additional amendments and targeted improvements issued in 2018 and early 2019, supersedes existing lease accounting guidance found under ASC 840, Leases (“ASC 840”). The accounting for lessors does not fundamentally change with this update except for changes to conform and align guidance to the lessee guidance, as well as to the revenue recognition guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606). Some of these conforming changes, such as those related to the definition of lease term and minimum lease payments, resulted in certain lease arrangements, that would have been previously accounted for as operating leases, to be classified and accounted for as sales-type leases with a corresponding up-front recognition of automobile sales revenue when the lessee obtained control over the automobile. The two primary accounting provisions the Company uses to classify transactions as sales-type or operating leases are: (i) a review of the lease term to determine if it is for the major part of the economic life of the underlying equipment (defined as greater than 75%); and (ii) a review of the present value of the lease payments to determine if they are equal to or greater than substantially all of the fair market value of the equipment at the inception of the lease (defined as greater than 90%). Automobile included in arrangements meeting these conditions are accounted for as sales-type leases. Interest income from the lease is recognized in financing revenues over the lease term. Automobile included in arrangements that do not meet these conditions are accounted for as operating leases and revenue is recognized over the term of the lease. 22 The Company excludes from the measurement of its lease revenues any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected from a customer. The Company considers the economic life of most of the automobiles to be three to four years, since this represents the most common lease term for its automobiles and the automobiles will be used for ride-hailing services. The Company believes three to four years is representative of the period during which an automobile is expected to be economically usable, with normal service, for the purpose for which it is intended. A portion of the Company’s direct sales of automobile to end customers are made through bundled lease arrangements which typically include automobile, services (automobile purchase services, facilitation services, and management and guarantee services) and financing components where the customer pays a single negotiated fixed minimum monthly payment for all elements over the contractual lease term. Revenues under these bundled lease arrangements are allocated considering the relative standalone selling prices of the lease and non-lease deliverables included in the bundled arrangement and the financing components. Lease deliverables include the automobile and financing, while the non-lease deliverables generally consist of the services and repayment of advanced fees made on behalf of its customers. The Company considers the fixed payments for purposes of allocation to the lease elements of the contract. The fixed minimum monthly payments are multiplied by the number of months in the contract term to arrive at the total fixed lease payments that the customer is obligated to make over the lease term. Amounts allocated to the automobile and financing elements are then subjected to the accounting estimates under ASC 842 to ensure the values reflect standalone selling prices. The remainder of any fixed payments are allocated to non-lease elements (automobile purchase services, facilitation fees, and management and guarantee services), for which these revenues are recognized in a manner consistent with the guidance for service fees from automobile purchase services, facilitation fees from automobile transactions, and service fees from management and guarantee services as discussed above. The Company’s lease pricing interest rates, which are used in determining customer payments in a bundled lease arrangement, are developed based upon the local prevailing rates in the marketplace where its customer will be able to obtain an automobile loan under similar terms from the bank. The Company reassesses its pricing interest rates quarterly based on changes in the local prevailing rates in the marketplace. As of December 31, 2020, the Company's pricing interest rate was 6.0% per annum. (s) Income taxes Deferred income tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provisions or benefits for income taxes consists of tax estimated from taxable income plus or minus deferred tax expenses (benefits) if applicable. Deferred tax is calculated using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be utilized with prior net operating loss carried forwards using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be utilized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. The Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions or any unrecognized liabilities, interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefit as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the calendar years ended December 31, 2015 through 2019 for the Company’s PRC entities remain open for statutory examination by PRC tax authorities. The Company presents deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current in the balance sheet based on an analysis of each taxpaying component within a jurisdiction. (t) Comprehensive income (loss) Comprehensive income (loss) includes net loss and foreign currency adjustments. Comprehensive income (loss) is reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), as presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets are the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments. (u) Share-based awards Share-based awards granted to the Company’s employees are measured at fair value on grant date and share-based compensation expense is recognized (i) immediately at the grant date if no vesting conditions are required, or (ii) using the accelerated attribution method, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period. The fair value of restricted shares is determined with reference to the fair value of the underlying shares. 23 At each date of measurement, the Company reviews internal and external sources of information to assist in the estimation of various attributes to determine the fair value of the share-based awards granted by the Company, including but not limited to the fair value of the underlying shares, expected life, expected volatility and expected forfeiture rates. The Company is required to consider many factors and make certain assumptions during this assessment. If any of the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the share-based awards changes significantly, share-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current reporting period. (v) Leases On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC Topic 842). This update supersedes existing lease accounting guidance found under ASC 840, and requires the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease obligations (“lease liabilities”) by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating leases under existing lease guidance. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Short term leases with a term of twelve months or less are not required to be recognized. Lessor accounting is generally the same under ASC 842 as compared to ASC 840 except with an additional requirement to assess collectability to support classification as a direct financing lease. Also, in order to derecognize the asset and record revenue, collection of payments due must be probable for sales-type leases and the lessees of sales-type leases will need to obtain control over the leased asset. The Company adopted the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease a single lease component. The impact of the adoption of the ASC 842, as of April 1, 2019, the Company recognized $246,227 ROU assets and $247,325 lease liabilities, primarily related to operating leases of facilities. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities as of April 1, 2019, with no related impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity or unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Beginning in the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company entered into certain agreements as a lessor under which it leased automobiles for a short-term period (usually under 12 months) to ride-hailing car service drivers. The Company also entered into certain agreements as a lessee to lease automobiles and to conduct its automobiles rental operations. If any of the following criteria are met, the Company classifies the lease as a finance lease (as a lessee) or as a direct financing or sales-type lease (both as a lessor): · The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term; · The lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise; · The lease term is for 75% or more of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset, unless the commencement date falls within the last 25% of the economic life of the underlying asset; · The present value of the sum of the lease payments equals or exceeds 90% of the fair value of the underlying asset; or · The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. Leases that do not meet any of the above criteria are accounted for as operating leases. The Company combines lease and non-lease components in its contracts under Topic 842, when permissible. Finance and operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the adoption date of April 1, 2019 or the commencement date, whichever is earlier, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since the implicit rate for the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company use its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment and over a similar term. Lease terms used to calculate the present value of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as the Company does not have reasonable certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. The Company generally consider the economic life of its operating lease ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception, therefore operating lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Its leases generally do not provide a residual guarantee. The finance or operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term for operating lease. Meanwhile, the Company recognizes the finance leases ROU assets and interest on an amortized cost basis. The amortization of finance ROU assets is recognized on an accretion basis as amortization expense, while the lease liability is increased to reflect interest on the liability and decreased to reflect the lease payments made during the period. Interest expense on the lease liability is determined each period during the lease term as the amount that results in a constant periodic interest rate of the automobile loans on the remaining balance of the liability. 24 The Company reviews the impairment of its ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of finance and operating lease liabilities in any tested asset group and include the associated lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized impairment loss of $31,641 and $111,864 on its finance lease ROU assets, respectively. (w) Significant risks and uncertainties 1) Credit risk a. Assets that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents. The maximum exposure of these assets to credit risk is their carrying amount as of the balance sheet dates. On December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, approximately $1,122,000 and $2,600, respectively, was deposited with a bank in the United States which is insured by the U.S. government up to $250,000. On December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, approximately $2,227,000 and $820,000, respectively, were deposited in financial institutions located in mainland China, which were insured by the government authority. Under the Deposit Insurance System in China, an enterprise’s deposits at one bank is insured for a maximum of approximately $70,000 (RMB500,000). To limit exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Company primarily place cash deposits with large financial institutions in China which management believes are of high credit quality. The Company’s operations are carried out entirely in mainland China. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the social, political, economic and legal environments in the PRC as well as by the general state of the PRC economy. In addition, the Company’s business may be influenced by changes in PRC government laws, rules and policies with respect to, among other matters, the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance of currency outside of China, rates and methods of taxation and other factors. b. In measuring the credit risk of accounts receivables due from the automobile purchasers (the “customers”), the Company mainly reflects the “probability of default” by the customer on its contractual obligations and considers the current financial position of the customer and the risk exposures to the customer and its likely future development. However, as the Company only commenced the automobile transaction and related services since November 2018, there was limited historic default data and other information to make an estimate on the expected credit losses. Historically, most of the automobile purchasers would pay the Company their previously defaulted amounts within one to three months. As a result, the Company would provide full provisions on accounts receivable if the customers default on repayments for over three months. As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Company provided an allowance for doubtful accounts of $79,355 and $379,689, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company wrote off accounts receivable of $252,211 and $0, respectively, which represents due from automobile purchasers. In measuring the credit risk of accounts receivables due from the borrowers and investors who formally used the Company’s discontinued P2P lending platform (the “P2P customers”), the Company mainly reflects the “probability of default” by the P2P customer on its contractual obligations and considers the current financial position of the P2P customer and the risk exposures to the P2P customer and its likely future development. Historically, most of the borrowers would pay the transaction fee within one year upon (i) disbursement of the proceeds for loans or (ii) full payment of principal and interest of loan. Most of investors would pay the service fee within one year upon receipt of their investment returns. On October 17, 2019, the Board approved the Plan for the Company to discontinue and wind down its online lending services business. For the nine months ended December 31, 2020, no additional accounts receivable were written-off. 2) Foreign currency risk As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, substantially all of the Company’s operating activities and major assets and liabilities, except for the cash deposit of approximately $1,590,600 and $818,000, respectively, in U.S. dollars, are denominated in RMB, which are not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place through either the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”) or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted by PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other regulatory institutions requires a payment application together with invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to change in central government policies and international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. When there is a significant change in value of RMB, the gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of a foreign subsidiary will be significant affected. RMB were appreciated from 7.08 RMB into US$1.00 at March 31, 2020 to 6.53 RMB into US$1.00 at December 31, 2020. 25 3) VIE risk The Company believes that the VIE Agreements and the Voting Agreement are in compliance with PRC law and are legally enforceable. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. The shareholders of Sichuan Senmiao are also shareholders of the Company and therefore have no current interest in seeking to act contrary to the contractual arrangements. However, if the shareholders of Sichuan Senmiao were to reduce their interest in the Company, their interests may diverge from that of the Company and that may potentially increase the risk that they would seek to act contrary to the contractual terms. However, the other shareholders of Jinkailong are not shareholders of the Company and there is a risk they may act in contrary to the interests of the shareholders of the Company. The Company cannot assure that when conflicts of interest arise, the shareholders of Sichuan Senmiao or the other shareholders of Jinkailong will act in the best interests of the Company or that conflicts of interests will be resolved in the Company’s favor. In addition, the Company’s ability to control Sichuan Senmiao and Jinkailong via the VIE Agreements and Voting Agreement may not be as effective as direct equity ownership. Further, the VIE Agreements or the Voting Agreement may not be enforced in China if the PRC government or courts consider those contracts contravene PRC laws and regulations or otherwise not enforceable for public policy reasons. If the VIE Agreements or the Voting Agreement were found to be in violation of any existing PRC laws and regulations, the PRC government could: · revoke the Company’s business and operating licenses; · require the Company to discontinue or restrict operations; · restrict the Company’s right to collect revenues; · block the Company’s websites; · require the Company to restructure the operations in such a way as to compel the Company to establish a new enterprise, re-apply for the necessary licenses or relocate our businesses, staff and assets; · impose additional conditions or requirements with which the Company may not be able to comply; or · take other regulatory or enforcement actions against the Company that could be harmful to the Company’s business. (x) Recently issued accounting standards In June 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance ASU 2016-13 for recognition of credit losses on financial instruments, which is effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted on January 1, 2019. The guidance introduces a new credit reserving model known as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model, which is based on expected losses, and differs significantly from the incurred loss approach used today. The CECL model requires measurement of expected credit losses not only based on historical experience and current conditions, but also by including reasonable and supportable forecasts incorporating forward-looking information and will likely result in earlier recognition of credit reserves. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which to update the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain smaller reporting companies applying for credit losses standard. The new effective date for these preparers is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not yet adopted this update and it will become effective on January 1, 2023 assuming the Company will remain eligible to be smaller reporting company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. CECL adoption will have broad impact on the financial statements of financial services firms, which will affect key profitability and solvency measures. Some of the more notable expected changes include: - Higher allowance on financial guarantee reserve and finance lease receivable levels and related deferred tax assets. While different asset types will be impacted differently, the expectation is that reserve levels will generally increase across the board for all financial firms. - Increased reserve levels may lead to a reduction in capital levels. - As a result of higher reserving levels, the expectation is that CECL will reduce cyclicality in financial firms’ results, as higher reserving in “good times” will mean that less dramatic reserve increases will be loan related income (which will continue to be recognized on a periodic basis based on the effective interest method) and the related credit losses (which will be recognized up front at origination). This will make periods of loan expansion seem less profitable due to the immediate recognition of expected credit losses. Periods of stable or declining loan levels will look comparatively profitable as the income trickles in for loans, where losses had been previously recognized. 26 In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. The amendments in this Update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for (1) public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. An entity that elects to early adopt the amendments in an interim period should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. Additionally, an entity that elects early adoption must adopt all the amendments in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”. The amendment in this Update is to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. For convertible instruments, the Board decided to reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows of the Company. 4. BUSINESS COMBINATION On September 11, 2020, Senmiao Consulting entered into an Investment Agreement relating to XXTX with all the original shareholders of XXTX, pursuant to which Senmiao Consulting agreed to make an investment of RMB3.16 million (approximately $0.5 million) in XXTX in cash in exchange for a 51% equity interest. On October 23, 2020, the registration procedures for the change in shareholders and registered capital were completed and XXTX became a majority owned subsidiary of Senmiao Consulting. As of the issuance date of these financial statements, Senmiao Consulting has made a capital contribution of RMB1.0 million (approximately $0.2 million) to XXTX and the remaining amount is expected to be paid before December 31, 2021. The Company operates a ride-hailing platform through XXTX. The Company’s acquisition of XXTX was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The Company has allocated the purchase price of XXTX based upon the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. The Company estimated the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date in accordance with the business combination standard issued by the FASB with the valuation methodologies using level 3 inputs, except for other current assets and current liabilities were valued using the cost approach. Management of the Company is responsible for determining the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets identified as of the acquisition date and considered a number of factors including valuations from independent appraisers. Acquisition-related costs incurred for the acquisitions are not material and have been expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense. The following table summarizes the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date, which represents the net purchase price allocation on the date of the acquisition of XXTX based on valuation performed by an independent valuation firm engaged by the Company and translated the fair value from RMB to USD using the exchange rate on October 23, 2020 at the rate of USD 1.00 to RMB 6.69. As of December 31, 2020, the Company acquired $7,975 in cash, net of cash paid to XXTX in the acquisition of XXTX. The remaining purchase consideration of $0.3 million is expected to be paid by the Company by December 31, 2021. 27 Fair value Cash and cash equivalents $ 105,386 Other current assets 525,005 Plant and equipment 790 Intangible assets 265,536 Total assets 896,717 Total liabilities (230,247 ) Net assets of XXTX 666,470 Less: fair value of non-controlling interest (336,441 ) Fair value of net assets acquired 330,029 Goodwill 142,544 Total purchase consideration $ 472,573 5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On October 17, 2019, the Board approved the Plan under which the Company has discontinued and is winding down its online P2P lending services business. The Company determined that the continued operation of its online P2P lending services business was not viable in light of the recently tightened regulations on online peer-to-peer lending in China generally and the unofficial request from local regulator to reduce the Company’s online peer-to-peer lending transaction volume on a monthly basis. The Company also determined that the discontinuation of its online P2P lending services business would allow the Company to focus its resources on its automobile financing facilitation and transaction business. In connection with the Plan, the Company ceased facilitation of loan transactions on its online lending platform and assumed all the outstanding loans from investors on the platform. The decision and action taken by the Company of discontinuing the online lending services business represented a major shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, which triggers discontinued operations accounting in accordance with ASC 205-20-45. The fair value of discontinued operations, determined as of October 17, 2019, includes estimated consideration expected to be received, less costs to sell. After consideration of the determination of fair value of the discontinued operations including the assumption of all the outstanding loans from investors on the platform, $143,668 of accounts receivable, $3,760,599 of other receivables, and $143,943 of prepayments for impaired intangible assets were indicated as of the date the Company’s Board of Directors approved the winding down of the Company’s online P2P lending services business on October 17, 2019, and the Company recognized $4,048,210 provision for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2019 in related to the Company’s online lending services business, while the Company did not recognize any additional provision for doubtful accounts for the nine months ended December 31, 2020.

As of December 31, 2020, there were 37,940 IPO Underwriter’s Warrants outstanding. Registered Direct Offering Warrants The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 815 on determining what types of instruments or embedded features in an instrument held by a reporting entity can be considered indexed to its own stock for the purpose of evaluating the first criteria of the scope exception in ASC 815. Warrants issued in connection with the direct equity offering with exercise prices denominated in US dollars are no longer considered indexed to the Company’s stock, as their exercise price is not in the Company’s functional currency (RMB), and therefore no longer qualify for the scope exception and must be accounted for as a derivative. These warrants are classified as liabilities under the caption “Derivative liabilities” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of balance sheets and recorded at estimated fair value at each reporting date, computed using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Changes in the liability from period to period are recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss under the caption “Change in fair value of derivative liabilities.” The Company allocated the proceeds received between the common stock and warrants first to warrants based on the fair value on the date the proceeds were received with the balance to common stock. The value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the following assumptions: volatility 86%; risk free interest rate 1.77%; dividend yield of 0% and expected term of 4 years of the Investor Series A Warrants, 1 year of the Series B Warrants, and 4 years of the placement agent warrants. The volatility of the Company’s common stock was estimated by management based on the historical volatility of its common stock, the risk free interest rate was based on Treasury Constant Maturity Rates published by the U.S. Federal Reserve for periods applicable to the expected life of the warrants. The expected dividend yield was based on the Company’s current and expected dividend policy and the expected term is equal to the contractual life of the warrants. The value of the warrants was based on the Company’s common stock closing price of $2.80 on June 20, 2019 which was the date the warrants were issued. Net proceeds were allocated as the follows: Warrants $ 3,150,006 Common stock 1,992,118 Total net proceeds $ 5,142,124 33 Subsequent to the initial recording, the change in the fair value of the warrants, determined under the Black-Scholes valuation model, at each reporting date will result in either an increase or decrease the amount recorded as liability, based on the fluctuations with the Company’s stock price with a corresponding adjustment to other income (or expense). During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, the change of fair value was a loss of $786,200 and $1,148,417, respectively, recognized in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss based on the increase in fair value of the liabilities since March 31, 2020. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, the change of fair value was a loss of $485,400 and a gain of $1,509,406, respectively, was recognized in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss based on the increase in fair value of the liabilities since granted.

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

The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series B warrants is 1,116,320. Initially, the Series B warrants shall not be exercisable for any shares of common stock. In the event that on the fiftieth (50th) day after the closing date (the “Adjustment Measuring Time”), the closing price of the common stock is less than the Share Purchase Price, then the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series B warrants shall be adjusted (upward or downward, as applicable) to the greater of (i) zero (0) and (ii) such aggregate number of shares of common stock equal to fifty percent (50%) of the difference of (A) the quotient of (x) the Share Purchase Price divided by (y) the Market Price (as defined in Purchase Agreement) as of the Adjustment Measuring Time, less (B) the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued to the investors at the closing (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, share combinations, recapitalizations and similar events). The exercise price of the Series B warrant was adjusted from $3.72 to $0.0001 per share on August 12, 2019.

INCOME TAXES The United States of America The Company is incorporated in the State of Nevada in the U.S., and is subject to U.S. federal corporate income taxes with tax rate of 21%. The State of Nevada does not impose any state corporate income tax. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act imposes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriation of historical earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and future foreign earnings are subject to U.S. taxation. The Tax Act also stablished the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI), a new inclusion rule affecting non-routine income earned by foreign subsidiaries. For the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in China were operating at loss on a consolidated basis which resulted in no GILTI tax. The Company’s net operating loss from U.S for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 amounted to approximately $0.8 million. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s net operating loss carryforward for U.S. income taxes was approximately $4.0 million. The net operating loss carryforward will not expire and is available to reduce future years’ taxable income, but limited to 80% of income until utilized. Management believes that the utilization of the benefit from this loss appears uncertain due to the Company’s operating history. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset to reduce the deferred tax assets to zero on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31 and March 31, 2020, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets were approximately $0.84 million and $0.53 million, respectively. Management reviews the valuation allowance periodically and makes changes accordingly. PRC Senmiao Consulting, Sichuan Senmiao, Hunan Ruixi, Ruixi Leasing, Jinkailong, Yicheng, XXTX and its subsidiaries are subject to PRC Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) on the taxable income in accordance with the relevant PRC income tax laws. The EIT rate for companies operating in the PRC is 25%. Income taxes in the PRC are consist of: For the Three Months ended December 31, For the Nine Months ended December 31, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) Current income tax expenses (benefit) $ 7,487 $ (72,648 ) $ 14,464 $ 155,722 Deferred income tax expenses (benefit) $ - $ $ - $ (122,772 ) Total income tax expenses (benefit) $ 7,487 $ (72,648 ) $ 14,464 $ 32,950 As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Company’s PRC entities from continuing operations had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $6.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively, which will expire starting from 2023 and ending in 2024. In addition, allowance for doubtful accounts must be approved by the Chinese tax authority prior to being deducted as an expense item on the tax return. The bad debt allowances are incurred in Company’s PRC subsidiaries and VIEs which were operating at losses, the Company believes it is more likely than not that its PRC operations will be unable to fully utilize its deferred tax assets related to the net operating loss carryforwards in the PRC. As a result, the Company provided 100% allowance on all deferred tax assets on net operating loss carryforwards in the PRC of $1,666,131 and $414,996 related to its operations in the PRC at December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively and provided 100% allowance on all deferred tax assets on allowance for doubtful account of $7,826 and $178,381 related to its operations in the PRC at December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The tax effects of temporary differences from continuing operations that give rise to the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: December 31, 2020 March 31, 2020 (Unaudited) Net operating loss carryforwards in the PRC $ 1,666,131 $ 414,996 Net operating loss carryforwards in the U.S. 841,268 527,365 Allowance for doubtful account 7,826 178,381 Less: valuation allowance (2,515,225 ) (1,120,742 ) Deferred tax assets, net $ - $ - Deferred tax liabilities: Capitalized intangible assets cost 45,146 - Deferred tax liabilities, net 45,146 37 As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Company’s PRC entities associated with the discontinued P2P lending operations had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10.5 million and $8.8 million, respectively, which will expire in 2023 to 2024. The Company reviews deferred tax assets for a valuation allowance based upon whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized. At December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, full valuation allowance is provided against the deferred tax assets based upon management’s assessment as to their realization. The tax effects of temporary differences from discontinued operations that give rise to the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows: December 31, 2020 March 31, 2020 (Unaudited) Net operating loss carryforwards in the PRC $ 2,636,245 $ 2,206,673 Less: valuation allowance (2,636,245 ) (2,206,673 ) $ - $ - 16.

LEASE Lessor The Company's operating leases for automobile rentals have rental periods that are typically short term, generally is twelve months or less. Revenue recognition section of Note 3 (r), the Company discloses that revenue earned from automobile rentals, wherein an identified asset is transferred to the customer and the customer has the ability to control that asset, is accounted for under Topic 842 upon adoption for the year ended March 31, 2020. The Company did not have any automobile rentals operations prior to April 1, 2019, which the Company would have accounted for such revenue under Topic 606 for the year ended March 31, 2019. Lessee As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Company has engaged in offices and showroom leases which were classified as operating leases. In addition, the Company had automobiles leases which were classified as finance lease. The Company occupies various offices under operating lease agreements with a term shorter than twelve months which it elected not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities under ASC 842. Instead, the Company recognized the lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. 39 The Company recognized lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term for operating lease. Meanwhile, the Company recognized the finance leases ROU assets and interest on an amortized cost basis. The amortization of finance ROU assets is recognized on an accretion basis as amortization expense, while the lease liability is increased to reflect interest on the liability and decreased to reflect the lease payments made during the period. Interest expense on the lease liability is determined each period during the lease term as the amount that results in a constant periodic interest rate of the automobile loans on the remaining balance of the liability. The ROU and lease liabilities are determined based on the present value of the future minimum rental payments of the lease as of the adoption date, using an effective interest rate of 6.0%, which is determined using an incremental borrowing rate with similar term in the PRC. As of December 31, 2020, the average remaining operating and finance lease term of its existing leases is 1.8 and 1.7 years, respectively. Operating and finance lease expenses consist of the following: For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended Classification December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) Operating lease cost Lease expenses Selling, general and administrative $ 93,646 $ 77,767 $ 299,526 $ 286,943 Finance lease cost Amortization of leased asset Cost of revenue 758,091 - 1,524,439 - Amortization of leased asset Selling, general and administrative 382,727 - 1,455,527 - Interest on lease liabilities Interest expenses on finance leases 150,227 - 587,457 - Total lease expenses $ 1,384,691 $ 77,767 $ 3,866,949 $ 286,943 Operating lease expenses from continuing operations totaled $93,646 and $50,690 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Operating lease expenses from discontinued operations totaled $0 and $27,077 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Operating lease expenses from continuing operations totaled $299,526 and $202,751 for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Operating lease expenses from discontinued operations totaled $0 and $84,192 for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Purchase Commitments On January 19, 2021, the Company entered into a contract with an automobile dealer for the purchase of a total of 500 automobiles for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $8,330,000. The purchase is expected to be completed by the end of 2021. Contingencies In measuring the credit risk of guarantee services to automobile purchasers, the Company primarily reflects the “probability of default” by the automobile purchasers on its contractual obligations and considers the current financial position of the automobile purchasers and its likely future development. The Company manages the credit risk of automobile purchasers by performing preliminary credit checks of each automobile purchaser and ongoing monitoring every month. By using the current credit loss model, management is of the opinion that the Company is bearing the credit risk to repay the principal and interests to the financial institutions if automobile purchasers default on their payments for more than three months. Management also periodically re-evaluates probability of default of automobile purchasers to make adjustments in the allowance when necessary as the Company is the guarantor of the loans. Contingent liabilities for automobile purchasers Historically, most of the automobile purchasers would pay the Company their previous defaulted amounts within one to three months. In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, surfaced and it has spread rapidly to many parts of China and other parts of the world, including the United States. The epidemic has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and facilities in China and elsewhere. Because substantially all of the Company’s operations are conducted in China, the COVID-19 outbreak has materially and adversely affected, and may continue to affect, the Company’s business operations, financial condition and operating results for 2020 and 2021, including but not limited to decrease in revenues, slower collection of accounts receivables and additional allowance for doubtful accounts. Some of the Company’s customers exited the ride-hailing business and tendered their automobiles to the Company for sublease or sale to generate income or proceeds to cover payments owed to financial institutions and the Company. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized an estimated provision loss of approximately $17,000 and $119,000, respectively for the guarantee services because the drivers who exited the ride-hailing business were not able to make the monthly payments. As of December 31, 2020, the maximum contingent liabilities the Company would be exposed to was approximately $14,898,000 (including approximately $202,000 related to the discontinued P2P business), assuming all the automobile purchasers were in default. Automobiles are used as collateral to secure the payment obligations of the automobile purchasers under the financing agreements. The Company estimated the fair market value of the collateral to be approximately $10,561,000 as of December 31, 2020, based on the market price and the useful life of such collateral, which represents approximately 70.9% of the maximum contingent liabilities. As of December 31, 2020, approximately $3,358,000, including interests of $201,000, due to financial institutions, of all the automobile purchases we serviced were past due mainly due to the COVID-19 epidemic in China. Contingent liability of Jinkailong On May 25, 2018, Chengdu Industrial Impawn Co., Ltd (“Impawn”) signed a pledge and pawn contract (the “Master Contact”) with Langyue, pursuant to which, Impawn shall provide loans to Langyue up to RMB20 million (approximately $2.9 million). In connection with the Master Contract, Jinkailong entered into a guaranty with Impawn and agreed to provide guarantee on all the payments (including principal, interests, compensations and other expenses) of Langyue jointly and severally with seven other guarantors, one of which is a shareholder of Jinkailong. Langyue used RMB7,019,652 (approximately $1,003,000) of the loans from Impawn and re-loaned it to automobile purchasers referred by Jinkailong from June 2018 to September 2018, which were also guaranteed by Jinkailong. Langyue did not pay Impawn the monthly installment of June 2020 timely. In July 2020, Impawn sent the Collection Letter and Notice to Langyue to demand payment of the interest and penalty of RMB100,300 (approximately $14,330). On September 18, 2020, Impawn initiated a legal action with the People's Court of Sichuan Pilot Free Trade Zone (the “Court”) for an order to collect and enforce the repayment of the total outstanding principal, interest and penalty for an aggregate of RMB9,992,728 (approximately $1,428,000) and other expenses by freezing all bank accounts of Langyue and all related guarantors. On October 14, 2020, the cash in the bank accounts of Jinkailong, totaling RMB175,335 (approximately $25,050) was frozen by the Court and became restricted cash accordingly. 41 On December 24, 2020, Jinkailong, a shareholder of Jinkailong and Impawn signed a settlement agreement (“Settlement Agreement”). Impawn agreed to release the pledge of Jinkailong’s 75 automobiles, provided that Jinkailong and such shareholder repay an aggregate of RMB4,026,594 (approximately $617,000) in monthly installments over 35 months. In addition, upon the initial payment of RMB600,000 (approximately $92,000) by Jinkailong and such shareholder, Impawn will request the court to release the frozen bank accounts of Jinkailong. The Settlement Agreement further provides that it does not release the guarantee obligations of Jinkailong and in the event Langyue’s loan is not fully repaid at the end of the 35 months, Impawn reserves the right to pursue further actions against Jinkailong and such shareholder for the outstanding balance of the loan. As of December 31, 2020, the original maximum contingent liabilities related to the loans from Langyue to automobile purchasers which Jinkailong would be exposed to was approximately RMB2,787,000 (approximately $427,000), which has been included in the amount of contingent liabilities of automobile purchasers as mentioned above. So Jinkailong recorded the additional $93,000 for the gap between the total amount to be paid pursuant to the Settle Agreement and the remaining principal of loans from Impawn as guarantee expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Jinkailong will collect monthly installment payments from online ride-hailing drivers who lease those 75 automobiles to repay for the remaining balance of Impawns and recognize guarantee expenses if any. However, as Jinkailong has undertaken the joint and several liability guarantee for all of Langyue’s loans from Impawn, Jinkailong may be required to pay all the outstanding balance of approximately $1,428,000 to Impawn in the future. As of December 31, 2020, the freeze on all except two bank accounts was released. The restricted cash of Jinkailong was RMB33 ,892 (approximately $5,190) as of December 31, 2020 which was subsequently released on January 7, 2021. From time to time, the Company may be subject to certain legal proceedings, claims and disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business. Except the contingent liabilities for Langyue, other amounts accrued, as well as the total amount of reasonable possible losses with the respect to such matters, individually and in the aggregate, are not deemed to be material to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 2021 Registered Direct Offering On February 10, 2021, the Company completed a registered direct offering of 5,072,465 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.38 per share, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors. As a result, the Company raised approximately $5.7 million, net of placement agent fees and offering expenses, to support the Company’s working capital requirements. In connection with the offering, the Company issued the placement agent warrants to purchase up to 380,435 shares of its common stock. These warrants are exercisable for a period of five years commencing 180 days from February 8, 2020 at a price of $1.38 per share and are exercisable on a “cashless” basis. 42 Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read together with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020 (the “Annual Report”) filed with the SEC. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Overview We are a provider of automobile transaction and related services, connecting auto dealers, financial institutions, and consumers, who are mostly existing and prospective ride-hailing drivers affiliated with different operators of online ride-hailing platforms in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). We provide automobile transaction and related services through our majority owned subsidiary, Hunan Ruixi Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. (“Hunan Ruixi”), a PRC limited liability company, and its variable interest entity (“VIE”), Sichuan Jinkailong Automobile Leasing Co., Ltd. (“Jinkailong”). Since October 2020, we also operate an online ride-hailing platform through Hunan Xixingtianxia Technology Co., Ltd. (“XXTX”), a majority owned subsidiary of Sichuan Senmiao Zecheng Business Consulting Co., Ltd., our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Senmiao Consulting”). Our platform enables qualified ride-hailing drivers to provide application based transportation services in Chengdu and Changsha, China. Substantially all of our operations are conducted in China. Our Automobile Transactions and Related Services Our automobile transaction and related services are mainly comprised of (i) facilitation of automobile transaction and financing where we connect the prospective ride-hailing drivers to financial institutions to buy, or get financing on the purchase of, cars to be used to provide ride-hailing services; (ii) automobile sales where we procure new cars from dealerships and sell them to our customers in the automobile financing facilitation business; (iii) automobile operating lease where we provide car rental services to individual customers to meet their personal needs with lease term no more than twelve months; and (iv) automobile financing where we provide our customers with auto finance solutions through financing leases. We started our facilitation services in November 2018, the sale of automobiles in January 2019, and financial and operating leasing in March 2019, respectively. Since November 22, 2018, the acquisition date of Hunan Ruixi, as of December 31, 2020, we have facilitated financing for an aggregate of 1,687 automobiles with a total value of approximately $24. 38 million, sold an aggregate of 1,414 automobiles with a total value of approximately $13.9 million and delivered approximately 1,249 automobiles under operating leases and 130 automobiles under financing leases to customers, the vast majority of whom are ride-hailing drivers. The table below provides a breakdown of the number of vehicles sold or delivered under different leasing arrangements or managed/guaranteed by us and corresponding revenue generated for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019: Three Months Ended December 31 Nine Months Ended December 31 2020 2019 2020 2019 Number of Vehicles Revenue (Approximate) Number of Vehicles Revenue (Approximate) Number of Vehicles Revenue (Approximate) Number of Vehicles Revenue (Approximate) Sales 7 $ 104,000 207 $ 1,987,000 26 $ 528,000 1,105 $ 10,828,000 Facilitation 7 $ 19,000 264 $ 373,000 61 $ 181,000 1,242 $ 1,774,000 Financing Leases 130 $ 74,000 92 $ 44,000 130 $ 179,000 92 $ 105,000 Operating Leases 1,195 $ 940,000 - - 1,220 $ 2,136,000 - - Other Services >2,200 $ 197,000 >2,000 $ 341,000 >2,500 848,000 >2,000 $ 936,000 43 Our operating leases, auto sales, auto financing and transaction facilitation, automobile management services and auto financial leasing accounted for approximately 55.2%, 13.6%, 4.7%, 8.1% and 4.6% of our total revenue from our automobile transactions and related services, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to approximately 0.0%, 79.4%, 13.0%, 2.3% and 0.8% for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, respectively. Our Ride-Hailing Platform As part of our goal to provide an all-encompassing solution for ride-hailing drivers as well as to increase our competitive strengths in an increasing competitive ride-hailing industry and to take advantage of what we believe is significant market potential, in October 2020, we began operating our own online ride-hailing platform as a means of connecting drivers and riders in Chengdu. The platform (called Xixingtianxia) was owned and operated by XXTX, of which Senmiao Consulting acquired a 51% equity interest pursuant to an investment agreement entered into with all the original shareholders of XXTX on September 11, 2020 (the “XXTX Investment Agreement”). Pursuant to the XXTX Investment Agreement, Senmiao Consulting agreed to make an investment of RMB3.16 million (approximately $0.5 million) in XXTX in cash in exchange for a 51% equity interest in XXTX. The registration procedures for the change in shareholders and registered capital of XXTX were completed on October 23, 2020. As the date of this Report, Senmiao Consulting has made capital contribution of RMB1.0 million (approximately $0.2 million) to XXTX and the remaining amount is expected to be paid before December 31, 2021. XXTX operates Xixingtianxia and holds a national online reservation taxi operating license. The platform is presently servicing ride-hailing drivers in Chengdu, Changsha, Neijiang and Panzhihua, China, providing them a platform to view and take customer orders for rides. We currently collaborate with two well-known aggregation platforms in China, Gaode Map, a map application owned and operated by AutoNavi Software, Co., Ltd. and Meituan, an e-commerce platform for services. Under our collaboration, when a rider using the platform searches for taxi/ride-hailing services on the aggregation platform, the platform provides such rider a number of online ride-hailing platforms for selection, including ours and if our platform is specifically selected by the rider, the order will then be distributed to registered drivers on our platform for viewing and acceptance. The rider may also simultaneously select multiple ride-hailing platforms in which case, the aggregation platform will distribute the requests to different online ride-hailing platforms which they cooperate with, based on the number of available drivers using the platform in a certain area and these drivers’ historical performance, among other things. We generate revenue from providing services to online ride-hailing drivers to assist them in providing transportation services to the riders looking for taxi/ride-hailing services. We earn commissions for each completed order as the difference between an upfront quoted fare and the amount earned by a driver based on actual time and distance for the ride charged to the rider. We settle our commissions with the aggregation platforms on a weekly basis. The acquisition of XXTX has brought us a new stream of revenue and furthers our goal of providing an all-encompassing solution for ride-hailing drivers. We launched Xixingtianxia in specific markets within Chengdu in late October 2020, focused on current driver customers. Since October 23, 2020, the acquisition date, to December 31, 2020, we have expanded marketing of our ride-hailing platform to a larger pool of potential drivers and riders in Chengdu and Changsha through cooperation with certain local car rental companies and through offering attractive incentives and awards to drivers. During the period from the acquisition date to December 31, 2020, approximately 1.2 million rides with gross fare of approximately $3.3 million were completed through Xixingtianxia and an average of over 3,500 ride-hailing drivers completed rides and earned income through Xixingtianxia (the “Active Drivers”) each month. Among the Active Drivers, approximately 32% also leased automobiles from us, which is in line with our strategy to cross sell our core ride-hailing focused automobile finance and leasing business with the newer online ride-hailing platform business. We plan to expand our driver base for the platform and automobile rental business while strengthening the royalty of the drivers who both lease our cars and use our platform while expanding. During the period since the acquisition date to December 31, 2020, we achieved revenue of approximately $0.3 million from our online ride-hailing platform services, after taking into account approximately $0.4 million incentives paid by us to Active Drivers, which were recorded as a reduction to our revenue. We intend to focus on drivers who currently finance or lease vehicles through us but our platform is available to others. We plan to launch Xixingtianxia in more cities across China during 2021. 44 Key Factors and Risks Affecting Results of Operations Ability to Increase Our Automobile Lessee and Active Driver Base Our revenue growth has been largely driven by the expansion of our automobile lessee base and the corresponding revenue generated from operating and financial leasing. After the acquisition of XXTX, our revenue growth also depends on the number of completed online ride-hailing orders on our platform, which largely depends on the number of Active Drivers who complete ride-hailing transactions on our platform. We acquire customers for our automobile transaction and related services, as well as for our online ride-hailing platform services, through the network of third-party sales teams, referral from online ride-hailing platforms and our own efforts including online advertising and billboard advertising. We also send out fliers and participate in trade shows to advertise our services. We plan to increase the number of our Active Drivers for the platform by expanding our platform to more cities during 2021 as well as marketing our platform to our existing and prospective automobile lessees. We expect the expansion of our Active Driver base to promote the growth of our automobile rental business because we offer automobile rental solutions/incentives specifically targeted at drivers using our platform. An effective cross-selling strategies between our automobile finance and leasing business and the newer online ride-hailing platform business is important to our expansion and revenue growth. We also plan to strengthen our marketing efforts through the collaboration with certain automobile dealers and through our own team by employing more experienced staffs and improving the quality and variety of our services. We also plan to continue to set up new service centers in the cities of Chengdu and Changsha during 2021. As of December 31, 2020, we had 54 employees in our own sales department and cooperated with a total of 13 third-party sales teams with about 190 professionals in the aggregate. Management of Automobile Rentals Due to the fierce competition of online ride-hailing industry in Chengdu and the adverse impact from COVID-19 pandemic across mainland China, a significant number of online ride-hailing drivers exited the ride-hailing business and tendered their automobiles to us for sublease or sales in order to generate income/proceeds to cover their payments owed to the financial institutions and us. We have seen an increasing demand for short-term car rentals since the end of 2019, which remained stable during the three months ended December 31, 2020. The daily management and timely maintenance of leased automobiles will have a significant effect on the growth of our income from leasing automobiles in the next twelve months. The effective management of our automobiles through our proprietary system and experienced auto-management team could provide qualified automobiles to potential lessees, either for personal use or providing online ride-hailing services. As of December 31, 2020, we had three parking lots and 14 employees in Chengdu and one parking lot and five employees in Changsha for parking and management of automobiles for operating lease. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, our overall utilization of the automobiles for operating lease was approximately 75.5% and 72.9%, respectively. Our Service Offerings and Pricing The growth of our revenue depends on our ability to improve existing solutions and services provided, continue identifying evolving business needs, refine our collaboration model with financial institutions and provide value-added services to our customers. The attraction of new automobile purchasers depends in part on our collaboration with financial institutions to offer more attractive automobile financing solutions with competitive interest rates to our automobile purchasers. We have also adopted a stable pricing formula, considering the historical and future expenditure, remaining available leasing months and market price to determine our rental price for varied rental solutions. Furthermore, our product designs affect the type of automobile purchasers or leases we attract, which in turn affects our financial performance. Our revenue growth also depends on our abilities to effectively price our services and the ability to obtain relatively lower expenditure paid to dealers, insurance companies and other service providers, which enables us to attract more customers and improve our profit margin. Ability to Retain Existing Financial Institutions and Engage New Financial Institutions The growth of our business is dependent on our ability to retain existing financial institutions and engage new financial institutions. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, we saw a significant decrease in the number of automobile financing facilitation transactions because of the shift of our business focus to automobile rental. Despite such decrease, we are exploring new collaboration methods with financial institutions in connection with our automobile rental business and for our purchase of electric vehicles (“EVs”) in the next twelve months. Our collaborations with financial institutions may be affected by factors beyond our control, such as perception of automobile financing as an attractive asset, stability of financial institutions, general economic conditions and regulatory environment. To increase the number of our cooperative financial institutions and the availability of financing for our existing and new businesses will enhance the overall stability and sufficiency of funding for automobile transactions. 45 Ability to Collect Payments on a Timely Basis We advance the purchase price of automobiles and all service expenses when we provide related services to the purchasers. We collect the receivables due from automobile purchasers from their monthly installment payments and repay financial institutions on behalf of the purchasers every month. As of December 31, 2020, we had accounts receivable of $1.5 million and advanced payments of approximately $0.9 million due from the automobile purchasers, which will be collected through installment payments on a monthly basis during the relevant affiliation periods. The efficiency of collection of the monthly installment payments has a material impact on our daily operation. Our risk and asset management department has set up a series of procedures to monitor the collection. The accounts receivable and advance payments may increase our liquidity risk. We have used the majority of the proceeds from our equity offerings and plan to seek equity and/or debt financings to pay for the expenditure related to the automobile purchase. To pay for the expenditure in advance will enhance the stability of our daily operation and lower the liquidity risk, and attract more customers. Ability to Manage Defaults and Potential Guarantee Liability Effectively We are exposed to credit risk as we are required by certain financial institutions to provide guarantee on the lease/loan payments (including principal and interests) of the automobile purchasers referred by us. If a default occurs, we are required to make the monthly payments on behalf of the defaulted purchasers to the financial institution. We manage the credit risk arising from the default of automobile purchasers by performing credit checks on each automobile purchaser based on the credit reports from People’s Bank of China and third party credit rating companies, and personal information including residence, ethnicity group, driving history and involvement in legal proceeding. Our risk department continuously monitors the payment by each purchaser and sends them payment reminders. We also keep close communication with our purchasers in particular the ride-hailing drivers so that we can evaluate their financial conditions and provide them with assistance including the transfer of automobile to a new driver if they are no longer interested in providing ride-hailing services or are unable to earn enough income to make monthly lease/loan payments. In addition, automobiles are used as collateral to secure purchasers’ payment obligations under the financing arrangement. In the event of a default, we can track the automobile through an installed GPS system and repossess and handover the automobile over to the financial institution so that we can be released from our guarantee liability. However, if a financial institution initiates a legal proceeding to collect payments due from a defaulted automobile purchaser, we may be required to repay the defaulted amount as a guarantor. If we are unable to undertake the responsibility as a guarantor, our assets, such as cash and cash equivalents, may be frozen by the court if the financial institution successfully requests for an order to freeze our assets or bank accounts, which may adversely affect our operations. As of December 31, 2020, approximately $3,358,000, including interests of approximately $201,000, due to financial institutions, of all the automobile purchases we serviced were past due. Approximately 1,250 online ride-hailing drivers we serviced tendered their automobiles to us for sublease or sale and approximately 37 automobile purchasers that remained in the online ride-hailing business were late in their monthly installment payments as of December 31, 2020. In general, most of the defaulted automobile purchasers who want to remain in online ride-hailing business would pay the default amounts within one to three months. Our risk management department typically starts to interact with overdue purchasers if they have missed one monthly installment payment. However, if the balances are overdue for more than two months or the purchasers decide to exit the online ride-hailing business and sublease or sell their automobiles, we would fully record an allowance against receivables from those purchasers. As of December 31, 2020, we recognized an accumulated allowance against receivables of approximately $3,477,000 from these purchasers. For the nine months ended December 31, 2020, we also recognized an estimated provision loss of approximately $235,000 for the guarantee services as the drivers exited the online ride-hailing business and would no longer make the monthly repayments to us. By subleasing automobiles from these drivers, we believe we can cope with the defaults and control associated risks. Further, the automobiles subject to our financing leases are not collateralized by us. As of December 31, 2020, the total value of non-collateralized automobiles was approximately $1,3 97,000. We believe our risk exposure of financing leasing is immaterial as we have experienced limited default cases and we are able to re-lease those automobiles to drivers under financing leases. 46 Actual and Potential Impact of Ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) in China on Our Business Beginning in late 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus and related respiratory illness (which we refer to as COVID-19) was first identified in China and has since spread rapidly globally. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and business facilities in China and globally. In March 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Given the rapidly expanding nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, and because all of our business operations and our workforce are concentrated in China (where the virus first originated), our business, results of operations and financial condition have been adversely affected. Due to the lockdown policy and travel restrictions, the demand for ride-hailing services has been materially and adversely impacted in our areas of operation in China, which reduced the demand of our Automobile Transaction and Related Services. As a result, our revenue and income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the subsequent three months ended June 30, 2020 was negatively impacted to a significant extent. As the ride-hailing markets in Chengdu and Changsha gradually recovered from the impact of COVID-19 since April 2020, our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and three months ended December 31, 2020 had an increase of approximately 21% and 43%, respectively, as compared with three months ended June 30, 2020. Our ability to collect the monthly installment payments from ride-hailing drivers during February and March 2020 was adversely impacted. Approximately 1,500 drivers delayed their monthly installments of February and March 2020, which resulted in a decrease in our monthly installment collection by $732,000 during February and March 2020. Since April 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic in China has been effectively controlled and the online ride-hailing markets in Chengdu and Changsha have been recovering. As of December 31, 2020, approximately 1,250 drivers exited the online ride-hailing business and tendered their automobiles to us for sublease or sale while approximately 37 drivers postponed their monthly installment payments. As a result, we recorded accumulated bad debt expenses of approximately $3,477,000. However, during the six months ended September 30, 2020, there was an increase in our collection of monthly installments from automobile purchasers and operating lease as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2020, and the negative impact has been gradually alleviated. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the average collection kept stable as compared with that in the three months ended September 30, 2020. We will continue to closely monitor our collections. Our daily cash flow has also been adversely impacted as a result of the unsatisfied collection from the online ride-hailing drivers and our potential guarantee expenditure pursuant to the financing agreements we guaranteed. Our cash flow will continue to be adversely impacted if the online ride-hailing market in China recovers slower than anticipated. We anticipate having a larger cash outflow in our daily operations in the next twelve months (even greater than during the nine months ended December 31, 2020) as we expand our online ride-hailing platform services in more cities in China and incur more marketing and promotion expenses. Our cash flow situation may worsen if the COVID-19 pandemic reoccurs in China. In an effort to assist with our automobile purchasers, we negotiated with the financial institutions we cooperate with to extend the due dates for monthly payments that may be affected by the epidemic. Certain financial institutions agreed to grant a grace period of up to four months from February to May 2020 for qualified drivers. We commenced the operation of our online ride-hailing platform since late October 2020 and have witnessed the decrease in online ride-hailing orders in mid- December 2020, when Chengdu reported 14 confirmed COVID-19 cases and fewer people took ride-hailing trips as a result. The average daily rides completed through our Xixingtianxia platform decreased by approximately 15% compared to that before the reporting of the new COVID-19 cases in Chengdu and recovered a week later as the new confirmed cases in Chengdu were fully under control. Similarly, in early January 2021, Beijing reported three confirmed COVID-19 cases and one asymptomatic case involving drivers for Didi Chuxing Technology Co., Ltd. (“Didi”), a major transportation network company, which also resulted in the decrease in orders in the Didi platform in Beijing. Consequently, the income of our online ride-hailing drivers who ran their business through the Didi platform also decreased during this period. Recent local resurgences of COVID-19 cases in some areas has brought uncertainties to future economic recovery of China, but we believe that the impact may be limited as China has established plans to rapidly contain the spread of COVID-19 cases and minimize related economic losses. However, if the epidemic in China deteriorates during the year ending March 31, 2021, new confirmed COVID-19 cases in the regions where we operate our online ride-hailing platform may have significant negative impact on the demand for rides through online ride-hailing platforms, including our platform and our revenue from the online ride-hailing platform services may decrease. In addition, our automobile purchasers and lessees may be unable to generate sufficient income to make their monthly installment payments, which may create a significant risk of continuing default from our automobile purchasers or lessees. As a result, we may have to repay the defaulted amount as a guarantor or lose the monthly rental revenue. If we experience a widespread default by our automobile purchasers\lessees, our cash flow and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. As a consequence, we could face shortfalls in liquidity without extra financing resources for the foreseeable future and lose the ability to grow our business or may even be required to scale down or restructure our operations. Any of these factors related to COVID-19 and other similar or currently unforeseen factors beyond our control could have an adverse effect on our overall business environment, cause uncertainties in the regions in China where we conduct business, cause our business to suffer in ways that we cannot predict and materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. 47 Ability to Manage and Grow New Ride-Hailing Business Due to the fierce competition of online ride-hailing industry in Chengdu and Changsha, our ability to increase our revenue over time may be limited if we focus only on our current automobile transaction and related services business model. As part of our strategy to provide an all-encompassing solution for ride-hailing drivers, we have expanded our services to drivers through the operation of Xixingtianxia, our own online ride-hailing platform, which has brought us a new stream of revenue. We generate revenue from commissions earned from each completed order, which represent the difference between an upfront quoted fare and the amount earned by a driver based on actual time and distance for the ride charged to the rider. As the aggregation platforms distribute the demand orders to different online ride-hailing platforms, the flow of drivers in our area of operations is enhanced, leading to a higher probability that more ride orders will be distributed to our platform, which in turn will increase the revenue of the drivers who use our platform (and our revenue). This also allows us to attract more drivers to engage their online ride-hailing business on our platform. Through a series of promotion and effective daily management and training services, we expect our own online ride-hailing platform will offer us a stable revenue source which can also help grow our automobile financing and leasing business. Pursuant to the cooperation agreement signed with Didi, we may be penalized by Didi, or our partnership with Didi may be terminated as we now operate a business competitive with Didi. However, the service fees from we earn from Didi currently represent less than 0.1% of our total revenue. Therefore, we believe the termination of cooperation with Didi will not have a material influence on our business or results of operations. Ability to Compete Effectively Our business and results of operations depend on our ability to compete effectively. Overall, our competitive position may be affected by, among other things, our service quality and our ability to price our solutions and services competitively. We will set up and continuously optimize our own business system to improve our service quality and user experience. Our competitors may have more resources than we do, including financial, technological, marketing and others and may be able to devote greater resources to the development and promotion of their services. We will need to continue to introduce new or enhance existing solutions and services to continue to attract automobile dealers, financial institutions, car buyers, leasees, ride-hailing drivers and other industry participants. Whether and how quickly we can do so will have a significant impact on the growth of our business. Market Opportunity and Government Regulations in China The demand for our services depends on overall market conditions of the ride-hailing industry in China. The continuous growth of the urban population places increasing pressure on the urban transportation and the improvement of living standards has increased the market demand for quality travel in China. Traditional taxi service is limited, and the merging online platforms have created good opportunities for the development of the online ride-hailing service market. Based on the monitoring of China E-Commerce Research Center, the number of online ride-hailing service users had reached 333 million by the end of 2018, increased by 16% from 2017. According to Bain & Company, the transaction value of China's online ride-hailing market in 2017 was larger than the total of the rest of the world. It estimated that by 2021, the total transaction value of China's online ride-hailing market will reach $60 billion. The ride-hailing industry is facing increasing competition in China and is attracting more capital investment. According to Xinhua News Agency, as of October 12, 2020, approximately 1.04 million online booking taxi transportation certificates and approximately 2.5 million online booking taxi driver's licenses were issued nationwide in China, and the average daily volume of online ride-hailing orders exceeded 21 million. In 2019, in addition to the traditional online ride-hailing platforms, automobile manufacturers, offline operation service companies, financial and map service providers, among others, have built cooperation relationships with each other to make the online ride-hailing industry a more aggregated industry. In March 2019, T3, a new travel service company, was established in Nanjing and subsequently in other cities, including Wuhan and Chongqing and has accumulated over 1 million registered users since March 2019. T3 is jointly invested by three large automobile manufacturers, FAW, Dongfeng and Chang’an, and leading internet, retail and finance companies such as Suning, Tencent and Alibaba and intends to compete with Didi and capitalize on the great potential of the ride-hailing market. As of December 2019, Alibaba, together with its affiliate, has invested in or acquired more than 30 enterprises in the fields related to ride-hailing, including Hello Travel, Yongan Travel, Didi, Gaode Software, Xiaopeng Automobile and others covering the ride-hailing industry. The online ride-hailing industry may also be affected by, among other factors, the general economic conditions in China. The interest rates and unemployment rates may affect the demand of ride-hailing services and automobile purchasers’ willingness to seek credit from financial institutions. Adverse economic conditions could also reduce the number of qualified automobile purchasers and online ride-hailing drivers seeking credit from the financial institutions, as well as their ability to make payments. Should any of those negative situations occur, the volume and value of the automobile transactions we service will decline, and our revenue and financial condition will be negatively impacted. In order to manage the rapidly growing ride-hailing service market and control relevant risks, on July 28, 2016, seven ministries and commissions in China, including the Ministry of Transport, jointly promulgated the “Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Taxi Booking Business Operations and Services” (“Interim Measures”), which legalizes online ride-hailing services such as Didi and requires the ride-hailing services to meet the requirements set out by the measures and obtain taxi-booking service licenses. On November 5, 2016, the Municipal Communications Commission of Chengdu City and a number of municipal departments jointly issued the “Implementation Rules for the Administration of Online Booking Taxi Management Services for Chengdu.” On August 10, 2017, the Transportation Commission of Chengdu further issued the detailed guidance “Working Process for the Online Booking Taxi Drivers Qualification Examination and Issuance” and the “Online Booking Taxi Transportation Certificate Issuance Process.” According to these regulations and guidelines, three licenses /certificates are required for operating the online ride-hailing business in Chengdu: (1) the ride-hailing service platform such as Didi should obtain the online booking taxi operating license; (2) the automobiles used for online ride-hailing should obtain the online booking taxi transportation certificate (“automobile certificate”); (3) the drivers should obtain the online booking taxi driver's license (“driver’s license”). 48 On July 23, 2018, the General Office of Changsha Municipal People's Government issued the “Detailed Rules for the Administration of Online Booking Taxi Management Services for Changsha.” On June 12, 2019, the Municipal Communications Commission of Changsha City further issued “Transfer and Registration Procedures of Changsha Online Booking of Taxi.” According to the regulations and guidelines, to operate a ride-hailing business in Changsha requires similar licenses in Chengdu, except that automobiles used for online ride-hailing services are required to meet certain standards, including that the sales price (including taxes) is over RMB120,000 (approximately $17,000). In practice, Hunan Ruixi is also required to employ a safety administrator for every 50 automobiles used for online ride-hailing services and submit daily operation information of these automobiles such as traffic violation to the Transport Management Office of the Municipal Communications Commission of Changsha City every month. Didi, the online ride-hailing platform with whom we cooperate for our automobile transaction and related services, obtained the online reservation taxi operating license in Chengdu and Changsha in March 2017 and July 2018, respectively. However, approximately 63% of our ride-hailing drivers had not obtained the driver’s license as of December 31, 2020 while all of the cars used for online ride-hailing services which we provided management services to have the automobile certificate. Without requisite automobile certificate or driver’s license, these drivers may be suspended from providing ride-hailing services, confiscated their illegal income and subject to fines of up to 10 times of their illegal income. Starting in August 2019, Didi began limiting customer orders allocated to drivers in Chengdu if they do not have requisite driver’s license or the automobiles used for ride-hailing services lacks the automobile certificate. Further, in December 2019, Didi began to enforce such limitation on drivers in Chengdu who have a driver’s license but operate automobiles without the automobile certificate. In addition to the national online reservation taxi operating license, XXTX and its subsidiaries also obtained the online reservation taxi operating license in Chengdu, Changsha, Neijiang and Panzhihua in Sichuan, in June, October and December 2020, February 2021, respectively, to operate the online ride-hailing platform services. However, according to the Interim Measures, no enterprise or individual is allowed to provide information for conducting online ride-hailing services to unqualified vehicles and drivers. In December 2020, Chengdu Transportation Bureau has taken a series of investigations into actions violating the Interim Measures and imposed fines for such violations. Among the 226 cases, two cases involved drivers of our Xixingtianxia online ride-hailing platform who failed to obtain the ride-hailing driver’s licenses. As a result, we were fined RMB10,000. Pursuant to the Interim Measures, XXTX and its subsidiaries may be fined between RMB5,000 to RMB30,000 (approximately $714 to $4,300) for violations of the Interim Measures, including providing online ride-hailing platform services to unqualified drivers or vehicles. If we are deemed in serious violation of the Interim Measures, our online ride-hailing platform services may be suspended and the relevant licenses may be revoked by certain government authorities. We are in the process of assisting the drivers to obtain the required certificate and license both for our automobile transaction and related services and our online ride-hailing platform services. However, there is no guarantee that all of the drivers affiliated with us would be able to obtain all the certificates and licenses. Further, there is no assurance that each of the drivers who use our platform or the cars used by such drivers in providing ride-hailing services possess the requisite license or certificate. Our business and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected if our affiliated drivers are suspended from providing ride-hailing services or imposed substantial fines or if we are found to be in serious violation of the Interim Measures due to the drivers’ failure to obtain requite licenses and/or automobile certificates in connection with providing services through our platform. Our Discontinued Online P2P Lending Services We previously also operated an online lending platform through our VIE, Sichuan Senmiao, in China, which facilitated loan transactions between Chinese investors and individual and SME borrowers. Our revenues from online lending services were primarily generated from fees charged for our services in matching investors with borrowers. We charged borrowers transaction fees for the work we perform through our platform and charged our investors service fees on their actual investment returns. We ceased our online lending services in October 2019 to focus on our automobile transaction and related services. In connection with the plan adopted by our Board of Directors to discontinue and wind down our online P2P lending services business on October 17, 2019 (the “Plan”), we ceased facilitation of loan transactions on our online lending platform and assumed all the outstanding loans from investors on the platform. The aggregate balance of the loans we assumed was approximately $5.6 million. As of December 31, 2020, we have used cash generated from our automobile transactions and related services and payments collected from borrowers in the aggregate of approximately $4.1 million to repay platform investors and we expect to repay all of them by December 31, 2021, an extended due date agreed by the investors. However, if we could not generate enough cash flow to pay investors on time in accordance with the Plan, we may incur additional commitment liabilities in our financial statements during the following periods before we fully fulfill our Plan. Since December 31, 2019, we have treated the online lending business as discontinued operations and recognized receivables from borrowers and payables to investors of approximately $4.0 million in our financial statements accordingly. Based on recent repayments collected from borrowers, we also recognized bad debt expenses of approximately $3.7 million for those receivables and $0.3 million for accounts receivable and prepayment for intangible assets related to our online lending services. However, the amount and timing of the actual allowance for bad debt may change based on evidence of collectability of the subject loans during the execution of the Plan. As part of the Plan, we transferred certain employees who used to work on our online lending business, primarily the information technology staff, to provide a new website design and development service for customers. 49 Results of Operations of Continuing Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended December 31, 2019 For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Change (unaudited) (unaudited) Revenues $ 1,638,550 $ 2,745,579 $ (1,107,029 ) Cost of revenues (1,793,815 ) (1,901,405 ) 107,590 Gross profit (loss) (155,265 ) 844,174 (999,439 ) Operating expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses (2,401,250 ) (1,240,213 ) (1,161,037 ) Bad debts (expenses) recovery, net 187,907 (99,025 ) 286,932 Impairments of long-lived assets (41,983 ) - (41,983 ) Total operating expenses (2,255,326 ) (1,339,238 ) (916,088 ) Loss from operations (2,410,591 ) (495,064 ) (1,915,527 ) Other expenses, net (72,586 ) (37,636 ) (34,950 ) Interest expense (2,158 ) (17,248 ) 15,090 Interest expense on finance leases (150,227 ) - (150,227 ) Change in fair value of derivative liabilities (1,030,843 ) (485,400 ) (545,443 ) Loss before income taxes (3,666,405 ) (1,035,348 ) (2,631,057 ) Income tax benefits (expenses) (7,487 ) 72,648 (80,135 ) Net loss $ (3,673,892 ) $ (962,700 ) $ (2,711,192 ) Revenues We started generating revenue from automobile transaction and related services from our acquisition of Hunan Ruixi on November 22, 2018. Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2020 generated from our automobile transaction and related services, and online ride-hailing platform services, which decreased by $1,107,029, or approximately 40%, as compared with three months ended December 31, 2019, mainly due to the decreased number of newly facilitated automobiles. As a result of the fierce competition of online ride-hailing industry in Chengdu and Changsha and the adverse impact from COVID-19 pandemic across the mainland China, we experienced a decrease in the number of newly facilitated automobiles. This resulted in a decrease in our revenue from automobile transaction and related services since January 2020 as compared with the prior year. Moreover, we experienced a significant number of online ride-hailing drivers who exited the ride-hailing business and tendered their automobiles to us in the three months ended March 31, 2020 as a result of less demand due to the public travel restrictions. The online ride-hailing market has recovered in the nine months ended December 31, 2020 since COVID-19 is generally under control in China and travel restrictions have been lifted by the Chinese government. As the ride-hailing markets in Chengdu and Changsha gradually recovered from the impact of COVID-19 beginning in April 2020, we also experienced a decrease in the number of automobiles tendered to us by the ride-hailing drivers exiting the business during the three months ended December 31, 2020 as compared with prior quarters. The monthly installments we collected from our customers in the three months ended December 31, 2020 kept stable as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2020. In an effort to mitigate the negative impact on our daily cash flow resulting from the drivers exiting the ride-hailing business during the epidemic period and develop a new income resource, we shifted our business focus to automobile rentals from facilitation of automobile transaction and financing. Moreover, as described above, we had a source of new revenue from our online ride-hailing platform, which brought us $0.3 million during the period from October 23, 2020 (the date we acquired the platform) to December 31, 2020. As we plan to focus more on our automobile rental and online ride-hailing platform services business, we expect our revenue from automobile rental income to continue to account for a majority of our revenues and revenue from our online ride-hailing platform services to increase over the next twelve months. We plan to take advantage of the expansion of our online ride-hailing platform to increase the utilization of our automobiles for operating leases, which would bring the increasing demand for short-term automobile rentals. 50 The following table sets forth the breakdown of revenues by revenue source for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019: For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2020 2019 (unaudited) (unaudited) Revenue from automobile transactions and related services $ 1,334,015 $ 2,745,579 - Revenues from sales of automobiles 104,329 1,987,433 - Operating lease revenues from automobile rentals 939,645 - - Service fees from automobile purchase services 18,968 352,351 - Facilitation fees from automobile transactions 30 21,031 - Service fees from automobile management and guarantee services 41,523 128,893 - Financing revenues 74,155 44,149 - Other service fees 155,365 211,722 Revenue from online ride-hailing platform services 304,535 - Total Revenue $ 1,638,550 $ 2,745,579 Revenue from automobile transactions and related services Revenue from our automobile transaction and related services includes sales revenue of automobiles, operating lease revenues from automobile rentals, service fees from automobile purchase services, service fees from automobile management and guarantee services, financing revenues (representing interest income from financial leasing) and other services fees, which accounted for approximately 7.8%, 70.4%, 1.4%, 3.1%, 5.6% and 11. 7%, respectively, of the total revenue from automobile transaction and related services during the three months ended December 31, 2020. Meanwhile, sales revenue of automobiles, service fees from automobile purchase services, facilitation fees from automobile purchase, service fees from automobile management and guarantee services, financing revenues and other services fees, including commissions from insurance companies, which accounted for approximately 72.4%, 12.8%, 0.8%, 4.7%, 1.6% and 7.7%, respectively, of the total revenue from automobile transaction and related services during the three months ended December 31, 2019. Sales of automobiles We generated revenues from sales of automobiles to the customers of Hunan Ruixi during the three months ended December 31, 2020 and to the customers of Jinkailong, Hunan Ruixi and Mashangchuxing Automobile Leasing Co., Ltd. (“Mashang Chuxing”) during the three months ended December 31, 2019. Sales of automobiles during the three months ended December 31, 2020 decreased by $1,883,104 as compared with the same period in 2019, mainly due to the decrease in the number of new automobile purchases, which was a result of the increased competition in the online ride-hailing markets in Chengdu and Changsha, and the adverse impact of COVID-19 across mainland China and the shift of our business focus to automobile leasing. We sold an aggregate of 7 automobiles and 206 automobiles during the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. 51 Operating lease revenues from automobile rentals We generate revenues from leasing our own automobiles or sub-leasing automobiles tendered by online ride-hailing drivers with their authorization for a lease term of no more than twelve months. Due to the fierce competition and COVID-19 pandemic, as of December 31, 2020, approximately 1,250 online ride-hailing drivers exited the online ride-hailing business because of decreased income. We leased over 1,170 automobiles with an average monthly rental income of $473 per automobile, resulting in a rental income of $939,645, for the three months ended December 31, 2020. Service fees from automobile purchase services We generate revenues from providing a series of automobile purchase services throughout the automobile purchase transaction process. The amount of these fees is based on the sales price of the automobiles and relevant services provided. Service fees from automobile purchase services decreased by $333,383 as compared with the same period in 2019, mainly due to the decrease in the number of facilitated new automobile purchases. We had revenue from 16 new automobile transactions, including purchase, financial leasing and operating leases, with service fees ranging from $160 to $2,306 per automobile during the three months ended December 31, 2020 while we serviced 264 new automobile purchases with service fees ranging from $376 to $2,093 per automobile during the three months ended December 31, 2019. Facilitation fees from automobile transactions We also generate revenues from fees charged to third-party sales teams or the automobile purchasers for the facilitation of sales of automobiles. The amount of facilitation fee is based on the type of automobile and negotiation with each sales team or automobile purchaser. The fees charged to third-party sales teams or automobile purchasers are paid when the transactions are consummated. These fees are non-refundable upon the delivery of automobiles. These fees are non-refundable upon the delivery of automobiles. Facilitation fees from automobile transaction were minimal, showing a decrease of $21,001 as compared with the same period in 2019, mainly due to the decrease in the number of facilitated new automobiles purchases and the waiving of facilitation fees for most of the facilitated automobile transactions since January 2020. We facilitated 264 new automobile purchases during the three months ended December 31, 2019, with an average facilitation fee of $80 per automobile while we facilitated 7 new automobile purchases during the three months ended December 31, 2020, when we waived the facilitation fee for new automobile purchasers. We expect facilitation fees from automobile transactions to account for a smaller portion of our total revenue in the next twelve months. Service fees from automobile management and guarantee services The majority of our customers are online ride-hailing drivers, who enter into affiliation service agreements with us pursuant to which we provide them post-transaction management services and guarantee services. The decrease of $87,370 in service fees from automobile management due to the increase in the number of tendered automobiles which were subsequently rented to ride-hailing drivers whom we charge rent rather than charging management and guarantee services fee. We had management and guarantee services for over 1,400 and 2,100 automobiles during the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. 52 Financing revenues We started our financial leasing business in March 2019 and began to generate interest income from providing financial leasing services to ride-hailing drivers in April 2019. We also charge the customers of our automobile financing facilitation services interest on their monthly payments which cover purchase price of automobile and our services fees and facilitation fees for terms of 36 or 48 months. We recognized a total interest income of $74,155 and $44,149 during the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase of $30,006 was mainly attributed to the increase in the number of automobiles we financed. Other service fees We generate other revenues such as commissions from insurance companies and other miscellaneous service fees charged to the automobile purchasers, which accounted for 57.2%, and 42.8% of revenues from other service fees during the three months ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The commissions from insurance companies and other miscellaneous service fees charged to the automobile buyers accounted for 50.0% and 50.0% of revenues from other service fees during the three months ended December 31, 2019, respectively. Other service fees decreased by $56,357 due to decrease of approximately $16,018 in the insurance commissions and decrease of approximately $40,339 in other miscellaneous service fees during the three months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. Revenue from online ride-hailing platform services We generate revenue from providing services to online ride-hailing drivers to assist them in providing transportation services to the riders looking for taxi/ride-hailing services and earn commissions for each completed order equal to the difference between an upfront quoted fare and the amount earned by a driver based on actual time and distance for the ride charged to the rider. During the period from October 23 to December 31, 2020, approximately 1.2 million rides were completed through our Xixingtianxia platform and we earned online ride-hailing platform service fees of $304,535, netting off approximately $0.4 million incentives paid to Active Drivers. Cost of Revenues Cost of revenues represents the costs of automobiles sold of $191,024, amortization, daily maintenance and insurance expense of automobiles leased to online ride-hailing drivers of $1,205,826, technical service charges and insurance of online ride-hailing platform services of $396,965. Cost of revenues decreased by $107,590, or approximately 6%, during the three months ended December 31, 2020 as compared with the same period in 2019, mainly due to the decrease in costs of automobile sold of $1,710,381 as the number of automobiles sold decreased from 206 to 7, partially offset by the increase of $1,205,826 in costs of automobiles under operating leases and $396,965 in direct expense and technical service fees of online ride-hailing platform services, as a result of the commencement and expansion of those two businesses. Gross Profit (Loss) Gross profit decreased by $999,439, or approximately 118%, during the three months ended December 31, 2020 as compared with the same period in 2019 mainly due to the decreased number of facilitated new automobile purchases. Gross profit generated from sales of automobiles decreased by $172,723 and other revenues with no cost of revenues decreased by $468,105 due to the significant decrease in the number of automobiles sold and facilitated new automobile purchases during the three months ended December 31, 2020 as compared with the same period in 2019. Meanwhile, we had gross loss of $266,181 from operating lease revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2020. The majority of those leased automobiles were tendered to us with overdue monthly installment payments to financial institutions. Therefore, the total amount of the amortization and daily maintenance expense of these automobiles were higher than the monthly rent generated and resulted in losses. We have focused on our operating leases as a means of mitigating the impact of the return of automobiles by a substantial number of Didi drivers who exited the ride-hailing business as a result of COVID-19 and the intense competition in the online ride-hailing market in Chengdu and Changsha since 2020. Moreover, we had gross loss of $92,430 from our online ride-hailing platform services as we just started this new business in October 2020 and paid cash incentives to attractive drivers to our platform. 53 Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of salary and employee benefits, office rental expense, travel expenses, and other costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $1,240,213 for the three months ended December 31, 2019 to $2,401,250 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, representing an increase of $1,161,037, or approximately 94%. The increase was attributable to more employees hired for the daily operations of our automobile transaction and related services business and the management of a significant number of automobiles which were tendered to us for sublease or sale due to the negative impact of COVID-19. The new business of online ride-hailing platform also brought approximately $262,000 in daily operating expenses. The increase mainly consists of an increase of $413,072 in amortization of automobiles which were tendered to us but have not been sub-leased or sold, an increase of $391,106 in salary and employee benefits as our employee increased from 158 to 201, an increase of $152,235 in professional service fees such as financial, legal and market consulting, an increase of $145,623 in rental and other office charges, and an increase of $59,001 in advertising and promotion and other miscellaneous expenses. Bad Debt Expense As a result of the fierce competition in the online ride-hailing markets in Chengdu and Changsha, and the negative impact of COVID-19, the number of online ride-hailing drivers we serviced who tendered their automobiles to us for sublease or sale increased by approximately 90 and the numbers of drivers who missed their monthly installment payments decreased by approximately 50 during the three months December 31, 2020. However, there was an increase in the amount of our collection of monthly installments during the three months ended December 31, 2020 as compared with the prior quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020. We re-evaluated the possibility of collection of unsettled balances from those drivers and recovered bad debt expenses of $187,907 for those receivables during the three months ended December 31, 2020. Impairments of Long-lived Assets For the three months ended December 31, 2020, we evaluated the future cash flow of our right-of-use assets and our own vehicles used for operating leases during their remaining useful life and recognized an additional impairment loss of $41,983 for those assets that could not generate sufficient cash. Other Expense For the three months ended December 31, 2020, we had other expense of $72,586, primarily a result of the penalty of $38,280 paid for driver’s traffic violations and accrued additional guarantee expenses of $93,119 payable to Impawn pursuant to the Settle Agreement as more fully described in Note 18 to the financial statements included herein, which was offset by other miscellaneous income. We had miscellaneous expense of $37,636 in the same period in 2019. Interest Expense and Interest Expense on Finance Leases Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $2,158, resulting from the borrowings of Jinkailong from a financial institution for its working capital requirements. The decrease of $15,090, or approximately 87%, was due to the decrease in outstanding principal of the loans obtained before 2019 and lower interest rate for the remaining principal. Interest expense on finance leases for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $150,227, representing the interest expense accrued under financing leases for the leased automobiles tendered to us for sublease or sale by the online ride-hailing drivers who exited the ride-hailing business. Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities Warrants issued in our registered direct offering and underwritten public offering were classified as liabilities under the caption “Derivative Liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet and recorded at estimated fair value at each reporting date, computed using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The change in fair value of derivative liabilities for the three months ended December 31, 2020 derived from change of the fair value between December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 for the warrants issued in our registered direct offering in June 2019 and our underwritten public offering in August 2020, resulted in a loss of $1,030,843 in total. Income Tax Expense Generally, our subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs in China are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in China at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards. Income tax expense of $7,487 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 mainly represented the provision of enterprise income tax resulting from the taxable income of approximately $29,900 from Hunan Ruixi and Yicheng. Income tax benefits of $72,648 for the three months ended December 31, 2019 mainly represented the reversal of enterprise tax accrued in prior quarters of Jinkailong as it incurred loss during the three months ended December 31, 2019. Other subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs in China incurred cumulative losses and no tax expense were recorded. Net Loss As a result of the foregoing, net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $3,673,892, representing an increase of $2,711,192 from $962,700 for the three months ended December 31, 2019. 54 Results of Operations of Continuing Operations for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2019 For the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Change (unaudited) (unaudited) Revenues $ 4,175,862 $ 13,643,429 $ (9,467,567 ) Cost of revenues (3,588,586 ) (10,632,901 ) 7,044,315 Gross profit 587,276 3,010,528 (2,423,252 ) Operating expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses (7,110,884 ) (3,258,161 ) (3,852,723 ) Bad debt (expense) recovery, net 106,835 (228,249 ) 335,084 Impairments of long-lived assets (122,206 ) - (122,206 ) Total operating expenses (7,126,255 ) (3,486,410 ) (3,639,845 ) Loss from operations (6,538,979 ) (475,882 ) (6,063,097 ) Other income (expenses), net 56,795 (53,364 ) 110,159 Interest expense (37,698 ) (79,593 ) 41,895 Interest expense on finance leases (587,457 ) - (587,457 ) Change in fair value of derivative liabilities (1,443,784 ) 1,509,406 (2,953,190 ) Income (loss) before income taxes (8,551,123 ) 900,567 (9,451,690 ) Income tax expenses (14,464 ) (32,950 ) 18,486 Net income (loss) $ (8,565,587 ) $ 867,617 $ (9,433,204 ) Revenues Revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 decreased by $9,467,567, or approximately 69%, as compared with nine months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the number of newly facilitated automobile purchases and automobiles sold. However, in order to mitigate the negative impact on our cash flow resulted from the tendering of automobiles from drivers who exited the ride-hailing business during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and develop a new income source, we shifted our business focus to automobile rental and had revenue of $2,136,078 from automobile rental, which partially offset the negative impact of the decrease in our revenue.

Sales of automobiles during the nine months ended December 31, 2020 decreased by $10,300,102 as compared with the same period in 2019, mainly due to the decrease in the number of new automobile purchases, which was a result of a fiercely competed online ride-hailing market in Chengdu and Changsha, and the adverse impact of COVID-19 across mainland China and the shift of our business focus to automobile leasing. We sold an aggregate of 26 automobiles and 1,105 automobiles during the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Operating lease revenues from automobile rentals We generate revenues from leasing our own automobiles or sub-leasing automobiles tendered by online ride-hailing drivers with their authorization for a lease term of no more than twelve months.

As we shift our business focus to automobile rental, we waived the facilitation fee for new automobile purchasers during the six months ended December 31, 2020. Service fees from automobile management and guarantee services The majority of our customers are ride-hailing drivers, who enter into affiliation service agreements with us pursuant to which we provide them post-transaction management services and guarantee services.

We primarily hold our excess unrestricted cash in short-term interest-bearing bank accounts at financial institutions. On August 6, 2020, we closed an underwritten public offering of 12,000,000 shares at $0.50 per share for total gross proceeds of approximately $6.0 million. After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us, the aggregate net proceeds totaled approximately $5.3 million. In addition, the underwriters for the public offering exercised their over-allotment to purchase 1,800,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share, generating net proceeds of approximately $0.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. On February 10, 2021, we closed a registered direct offering of 5,072,465 shares of our common stock at $1.38 per share, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors. As a result, the Company raised approximately $5.7 million, net of placement agent fees and offering expenses, to support our working capital requirements. After the completion of the registered direct offering in February, the Company expects its working capital to change from a deficit of approximately $5.6 million to a positive working capital of approximately $0.1 million. In addition to the proceeds from these financings, we also expect to receive an aggregate of RMB50 million (approximately $7.0 million) in cash under the JKL Investment Agreement entered into by and among Hunan Ruixi, Jinkailong, the other shareholders of Jinkailong and Hongyi on July 4, 2020. Pursuant to the JKL Investment Agreement, Jinkailong agreed to issue and Hongyi agreed to subscribe for a 27.03% equity interest in Jinkailong in consideration of RMB50 million (approximately $7.0 million), which will be made in two payments: (i) the first payment of RMB10 million (approximately $1.4 million) was due no later than September 30, 2020 and (ii) the remaining RMB40 million (approximately $5.6 million) is due within 30 days after the record-filing of the Investment has been made with the local PRC government and the other shareholders of Jinkailong having made their respective capital contributions in full in cash, but no later than December 31, 2020. As a result, Hunan Ruixi will be required to pay RMB3.5 million (approximately $0.5 million) to Jinkailong as a capital contribution. According to the latest arrangement with Hongyi, the first payment of $1.4 million has been postponed and the total investment of $7.0 million will be made before March 31, 2021. As a result, as of December 31, 2020, neither Hunan Ruixi nor the other shareholders of Jinkailong paid any capital contribution to Jinkailong, nor the record-filing of the Investment has been made with the local PRC government. Our business is capital intensive. We have considered whether there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to (1) recurring losses from operations, including net loss of approximately $8.6 million and $0.1 million from continuing operations and discontinued operations, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, (2) accumulated deficit of approximately $30.9 million as of December 31, 2020; (3) the working capital deficit of approximately $5.6 million as of December 31, 2020; (4) operating cash outflows of approximately $0.2 million and $1.6 million from continuing operations and discontinued operations, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2020; and (5) the purchase commitment of $8.3 million to be completed in 2021. Although we believe that we can realize our current assets in the normal course of business, our ability to repay our current obligations will depend on the future realization of our current assets and the future operating revenues generated from our operations. We do not believe that the proceeds from our public offerings and our anticipated cash flows would be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business for the next 12 months from the date of this Report. We have determined there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to generate significant revenue, we may be required to cease or curtail our operations. We are trying to alleviate the going concern risk through the following sources: ● continuing to seek equity financing to support our working capital; ● other available sources of financing (including debt) from PRC banks and other financial institutions; and ● financial support and credit guarantee commitments from our related parties. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in implementing the foregoing plans or that additional financial will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. There are a number of factors that could potentially arise that could undermine our plans, such as (i) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and areas of operations in China, (ii) changes in the demand for our services, (iii) PRC government policies, (iv) economic conditions in China and worldwide, (v) competitive pricing in the automobile transaction and related service and ride-hailing industries, (vi) changes in our relationships with key business partners, (vii) that financial institutions in China may not able to provide continued financial support to our customers, and (viii) the perception of PRC-based companies in the U.S. capital markets. Our inability to secure needed financing when required could require material changes to our business plans and could have a material adverse effect on our viability and results of operations. 59 For the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2020 2019 (unaudited) (unaudited) Net Cash Used in Operating Activities $ (1,786,674 ) $ (7,004,080 ) Net Cash Used in Investing Activities (194,179 ) (883,136 ) Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities 4,596,314 4,245,775 Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash and Cash Equivalents 83,332 (196,028 ) Cash , Cash Equivalents, and restricted cash at Beginning of Period 844,027 5,020,510 Cash, Cash Equivalents, and restricted cash at End of Period 3,542,820 1,183,041 Less: Cash and cash equivalents from discontinued operations - (9,520 ) Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash from continuing operations, end of period $ 3,542,820 $ 1,173,521 Cash Flow in Operating Activities For the nine months ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $1,786,674, which consists of the net cash used in operating activities of $208,041 from continuing operations and $1,578,633 from discontinued operations.

The purchase is expected to be completed by the end of 2021, which will lead to an increase in our inventory and cash outflow in operating activities. · Contingent Liabilities Contingent liabilities for automobile purchasers We are exposed to credit risk as we are required by certain financial institutions to provide guarantee on the lease/loan payments (including principal and interests) of the automobile purchasers referred by us. As of December 31, 2020, the maximum contingent liabilities the we would be exposed to was approximately $14,898,000 (including approximately $202,000 related to our discontinued P2P business), assuming all the automobile purchasers were in default, which may cause an increase in guarantee expense and cash outflow in financing activities. As of December 31, 2020, approximately $3,358,000, including interests of $201,000, due to financial institutions, of all the automobile purchases we serviced were past due. Contingent liability of Jinkailong On May 25, 2018, Chengdu Industrial Impawn Co., Ltd (“Impawn”) signed a pledge and pawn contract (the “Master Contact”) with Langyue, pursuant to which, Impawn shall provide loans to Langyue up to RMB20 million (approximately $2.9 million). In connection with the Master Contract, Jinkailong entered into a guaranty with Impawn and agreed to provide guarantee on all the payments (including principal, interests, compensations and other expenses) of Langyue jointly and severally with seven other guarantors, one of which is a shareholder of Jinkailong. Langyue used RMB7,019,652 (approximately $1,003,000) of the loans from Impawn and re-loaned it to automobile purchasers referred by Jinkailong from June 2018 to September 2018, which were also guaranteed by Jinkailong. Langyue did not timely pay Impawn the monthly installment for June 2020. In July 2020, Impawn sent the Collection Letter and Notice to Langyue to demand payment of the interest and penalty of RMB100,300 (approximately $14,330). On September 18, 2020, Impawn initiated a legal action in front of the Court for an order to collect and enforce the repayment of the total outstanding principals, interest and penalty for an aggregate of RMB9,992,728 (approximately $1,428,000) and other expenses by freezing all bank accounts of the Langyue and all related guarantors. On October 14, 2020, the cash in the bank of Jinkailong, with total amount of RMB175,335 (approximately $25,050) were frozen by the Court and became restricted cash accordingly. On December 24, 2020, Jinkailong, a shareholder of Jinkailong and Impawn signed a settlement agreement (“Settlement Agreement”). Impawn agreed to release the pledge of Jinkailong’s 75 automobiles, provided that Jinkailong and such shareholder repay an aggregate of RMB4,026,593.66 (approximately $617,000) in monthly installments over 35 months. In addition, upon the initial payment of RMB600,000 (approximately $92,000) by Jinkailong and such shareholder, Impawn will request the court to release the frozen bank accounts of Jinkailong. The Settlement Agreement further provides that it does not release the guarantee obligations of Jinkailong and in the event Langyue’s loan is not fully repaid at the end of the 35 months, Impawn reserves the right to pursue further actions against Jinkailong and such shareholder for the outstanding balance of the loan. As of December 31, 2020, the original maximum contingent liabilities related to the loans from Langyue to automobile purchasers which Jinkailong would be exposed to was approximately RMB2,787,000 (approximately $427,000), which has been included in the amount of contingent liabilities of automobile purchasers as mentioned above. So Jinkailong recorded the additional $93,000 for the difference between the total amount to be paid pursuant to the Settle Agreement and the remaining principals of loans from Impawn as guarantee expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Jinkailong shall collect monthly installment payments from online ride-hailing drivers who lease those 75 automobiles to repay for the remaining balance of Impawns and recognize guarantee expenses if any. However, as Jinkailong has undertaken the joint and several liability guarantee for all of Langyue’s loans from Impawn, Jinkailong may be required to pay all the outstanding balance of $1,428,000 to Impawn in the future. As of December 31, 2020, all bank accounts, except two accounts in a bank were still in the process of unfreezing, have been released from frozen. The restricted cash of Jinkailong was RMB 33,892 (approximately $5,190) as of December 31, 2020 and has been fully released on January 7, 2021. Inflation We do not believe our business and operations have been materially affected by inflation. 61 Critical Accounting Policies We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions on the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the end of each fiscal period, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each fiscal period. We continually evaluate these judgments and estimates based on our past experience, knowledge and assessments of current business and other conditions, our expectations regarding the future based on available information and assumptions. Other than disclosed below, there have been no material changes during the three months ended December 31, 2020 in our accounting policies from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. The selection of critical accounting policies, the judgments and other uncertainties affecting the application of those policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors that should be considered when reviewing our financial statements. We believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited consolidated financial statements. ( a) Use of estimates In presenting the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgement and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates and assumptions using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause us to revise our estimates. we base our estimates on past experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, revenue recognition, residual values, lease classification and liabilities, finance lease receivables, inventory obsolescence, right-of-use assets, determinations of the useful lives and valuation of long-lived assets, estimates of allowances for doubtful accounts and prepayments, estimates of impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, valuation of deferred tax assets, estimated fair value used in business acquisitions, valuation of derivative liabilities and other provisions and contingencies. (b) Fair values of financial instruments Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying value of us. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows: Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. (c) Property and equipment Property and equipment primarily consists of computer equipment, which is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation less any provision required for impairment in value. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method with no residual value based on the estimated useful life. (d) Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiaries at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually, more often when circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. If impairment exists, goodwill is immediately written off to its fair value and the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. We review the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred. We have the opinion to access qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step in accordance with ASC 350-20. If we believe, as a result of the qualitative carrying amount, the two-step quantities impairment test described below is required. The first step compares the fair values of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step will not be required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to accounting for a business acquisition with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. Estimating fair value is performed by utilizing various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow. If impairment exists, goodwill is immediately written off to its fair value and the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. (d) Derivative liabilities A contract is designated as an asset or a liability and is carried at fair value on a company’s balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in a company’s results of operations. We then determine which options, warrants and embedded features require liability accounting and records the fair value as a derivative liability. The changes in the values of these instruments are shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as “change in fair value of derivative liabilities”. 62 (e) Revenue recognition We recognize our revenue under ASC 606. ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. It also requires us to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. To achieve that core principle, we apply the five steps defined under ASC 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. We account for a contract with a customer when the contract is committed in writing, the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and consideration to collect is substantially probable. We have assessed the impact of the guidance by reviewing our existing customer contracts and current accounting policies and practices to identify differences that will result from applying the new requirements, including the evaluation of its performance obligations, transaction price, customer payments, transfer of control and principal versus agent considerations. Based on the assessment, we concluded that there was no change to the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for its current revenue streams in scope of ASC 606 and therefore there was no material changes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption of ASC 606. Automobile Transaction and Related Services Sales of automobiles – We generate revenue from sales of automobiles to the customers of Jinkailong and Hunan Ruixi. The control over the automobile is transferred to the purchaser along with the delivery of automobile. The amount of the revenue is based on the sale price agreed by Hunan Ruixi or Yicheng and the counterparties, including Jinkailong, who act on behalf of their customers. We recognize revenues when the automobile is delivered and control is transferred to the purchaser. Service fees from automobile purchase services – Services fees from automobile purchase services are paid by automobile purchasers for a series of the services provided to them throughout the purchase process such as credit assessment, preparation of financing application materials, assistance with closing of financing transactions, license and plate registration, payment of taxes and fees, purchase of insurance, installment of GPS devices, ride-hailing driver qualification and other administrative procedures. The amount of these fees is based on the sales price of the automobiles and relevant services provided. We recognize revenue when all the services are completed and the automobile is delivered to the purchaser at a point in time. Facilitation fees from automobile transactions – Facilitation fees from automobile purchase transactions are paid by our customers including third-party sales teams or the automobile purchasers for the facilitation of the sales and financing of automobiles. We attract automobile purchasers through third-party sales teams or its own sales department. For the sales facilitated between third-party sales teams and automobile purchasers, we charge the fees to the third-party sales teams, which derived from the commission paid by the automobile purchasers to the third-party sales teams. Relating to sales facilitated between automobile purchasers and dealers, we charge the fees to the automobile purchasers. We recognize revenue from facilitation fees when the titles are transferred to the purchasers at a point in time. The amount of fees is based on the type of automobile and negotiation with each sales team or automobile purchaser. The fees charged to third-party sales teams or automobile purchasers are paid before the automobile purchase transactions are consummated. These fees are non-refundable upon the delivery of automobiles. Service fees from management and guarantee services – Over 95% of our customers are online ride-hailing drivers. The drivers sign affiliation agreements with us, pursuant to which we provide them with management and guarantee services during the affiliation period. Service fees for management and guarantee services are paid by such automobile purchasers on a monthly basis for the management and guarantee services provided during the affiliation period. We recognize revenue over the affiliation period when performance obligations are completed. 63 Financing revenues – Interest income from the lease arising from our sales-type leases and bundled lease arrangements is recognized in financing revenues over the lease term based on the effective rate of interest in the lease. Operating lease revenues from automobile rentals – We generate revenue from sub-leasing automobiles from some online ride-hailing drivers or leasing our own automobiles. We recognize revenue wherein the automobile is transferred to the leasee and the leasee has the ability to control the asset, is accounted for under ASC Topic 842. Rental transactions are satisfied over the rental period. Rental periods are short term in nature, generally are twelve months or less. Online ride-hailing platform service revenue We generate revenue from providing services to Drivers to assist them in providing transportation services to looking for taxi/ride-hailing services. We earn commissions for each completed order as the difference between an upfront quoted fare and the amount earned by a Driver based on actual time and distance for the ride charged to the Rider. As a result, we bear a single performance obligation in the transaction of connecting Drivers with Riders to facilitate the completion of a successful transportation service for riders. We recognize revenue upon completion of a ride as the single performance obligation is satisfied and we have the right to receive payment for the services rendered upon the completion of the ride. We evaluate the presentation of revenue on a gross or net basis based on whether it controls the service provided to the Rider and is the principal (i.e. “gross”), or it arranges for other parties to provide the service to the Rider and is an agent (i.e. “net”). Since we are not primarily responsible for ride-hailing services provided to Riders, nor do we have inventory risk related to the services, we recognize revenue at net basis. Leases On April 1, 2019, we adopted ASC Topic 842. This update, as well as additional amendments and targeted improvements issued in 2018 and early 2019, supersedes existing lease accounting guidance found under ASC 840. The accounting for lessors does not fundamentally change with this update except for changes to conform and align guidance to the lessee guidance, as well as to the revenue recognition guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606). Some of these conforming changes, such as those related to the definition of lease term and minimum lease payments, resulted in certain lease arrangements, that would have been previously accounted for as operating leases, to be classified and accounted for as sales-type leases with a corresponding up-front recognition of automobile sales revenue when the lessee obtained control over the automobile. The two primary accounting provisions we use to classify transactions as sales-type or operating leases are: (i) a review of the lease term to determine if it is for the major part of the economic life of the underlying equipment (defined as greater than 75%); and (ii) a review of the present value of the lease payments to determine if they are equal to or greater than substantially all of the fair market value of the equipment at the inception of the lease (defined as greater than 90%). Automobile included in arrangements meeting these conditions are accounted for as sales-type leases. For sales-type leases, we recognize sales equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments discounted using the implicit interest rate in the lease and cost of sales equal to carrying amount of the asset being leased and any initial direct costs incurred, less the present value of the unguaranteed residual. Interest income from the lease is recognized in financing revenues over the lease term. Automobile included in arrangements that do not meet these conditions are accounted for as operating leases and revenue is recognized over the term of the lease. We exclude from the measurement of our lease revenues any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected from a customer. We consider the economic life of most of automobile to be three to four years, since this represents the most frequent contractual lease term for its automobile and the automobile will be used for Didi driving services. We believe three to four years is representative of the period during which the automobile is expected to be economically usable, with normal service, for the purpose for which it is intended. A portion of our direct sales of automobile to end customers are made through bundled lease arrangements which typically include automobile, services (automobile purchase services, facilitation fees, and management and guarantee services) and financing components where the customer pays a single negotiated fixed minimum monthly payment for all elements over the contractual lease term. Revenues under these bundled lease arrangements are allocated considering the relative standalone selling prices of the lease and non-lease deliverables included in the bundled arrangement and the financing components. Lease deliverables include the automobile and financing, while the non-lease deliverables generally consist of the services and repayment of advanced fees made on behalf of its customers. We consider the fixed payments for purposes of allocation to the lease elements of the contract. The fixed minimum monthly payments are multiplied by the number of months in the contract term to arrive at the total fixed lease payments that the customer is obligated to make over the lease term. Amounts allocated to the automobile and financing elements are then subjected to the accounting estimates under ASC 842 to ensure the values reflect standalone selling prices. The remainder of any fixed payments are allocated to non-lease elements (automobile purchase services, facilitation fees, and management and guarantee services), for which these revenues are recognized in a manner consistent with the guidance for service fees from automobile purchase services, facilitation fees from automobile transactions, and service fees from management and guarantee services as discussed above. 64 Our lease pricing interest rates, which are used in determining customer payments in a bundled lease arrangement, are developed based upon the local prevailing rates in the marketplace where its customer will be able to obtain an automobile loan under similar terms from the bank. We reassess our pricing interest rates quarterly based on changes in the local prevailing rates in the marketplace. As of December 31, 2020, our pricing interest rate is 6.0% per annum. (f) Leases On April 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC Topic 842). This update supersedes existing lease accounting guidance found under ASC 840, Leases (“ASC 840”) and requires the recognition of ROU assets and lease obligations (“lease liabilities”) by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating leases under existing lease guidance. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Short term leases with a term of twelve months or less are not required to be recognized. Lessor accounting is generally the same under ASC 842 as compared to ASC 840 except with an additional requirement to assess collectability to support classification as a direct financing lease. Also, in order to derecognize the asset and record revenue, collection of payments due must be probable for sales-type leases and the lessees of sales-type leases will need to obtain control over the leased asset. We adopted the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease a single lease component. The impact of the adoption of the ASC 842, as of April 1, 2019, we recognized approximately $246,227 ROU assets and approximately $247,325 lease liabilities, primarily related to leases of facilities. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities as of April 1, 2019, with no related impact on our unaudited consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity or consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. 65 Beginning in the year ended March 31, 2020, we entered into certain agreements as a lessor under which we leased automobiles to short-term (usually under twelve months) car service drivers. We also enter into certain agreements as a lessee to lease automobiles and to conduct our automobiles rental operations. If any of the following criteria are met, we classify the lease as a finance lease (as a lessee) or as a direct financing or sales-type lease (both as a lessor): · The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term; · The lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise; · The lease term is for 75% or more of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset, unless the commencement date falls within the last 25% of the economic life of the underlying asset; · The present value of the sum of the lease payments equals or exceeds 90% of the fair value of the underlying asset; or · The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. Leases that do not meet any of the above criteria are accounted for as operating leases. We combine lease and non-lease components in its contracts under Topic 842, when permissible. Finance and operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since the implicit rate for our leases is not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment and over a similar term. Lease terms used to calculate the present value of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as we do not have reasonable certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. We generally consider the economic life of its operating lease ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. We have elected the short-term lease exception, therefore operating lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Its leases generally do not provide a residual guarantee. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We review the impairment of our ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for our other long-lived assets. We review the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. We have elected to include the carrying amount of operating lease liabilities in any tested asset group and include the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. Not applicable. 66 Item 4. Controls and Procedures. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of December 31, 2020, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer) have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting: · We did not have sufficient personnel with appropriate levels of accounting knowledge and experience to address complex U.S. GAAP accounting issues and to prepare and review financial statements and related disclosures under U.S. GAAP. Specifically, our control did not operate effectively to ensure the appropriate and timely analysis of and accounting for unusual and non-routine transactions and certain financial statement accounts; · We had a lack of adequate policies and procedures in internal audit function to ensure that our policies and procedures have been carried out as planned; · We did not establish an appropriate backup and restoration plan for our financial systems; and · We did not establish and perform a periodic review and security monitoring of unauthorized access to our financial systems. We have hired new accounting staff and are in the progress of improving our system security environment and conducting regular backup plans and penetration testing to ensure network and information security. In addition, we plan to address the weaknesses identified above by implementing the following measures: (i) hiring additional accounting staff with comprehensive knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements; and (ii) improving our internal audit function, internal control policies and monitoring controls based on the work of our internal audit staff. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting Except as described above, there have not been any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 67 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
