−Removed: of the pandemic, as have been experienced in China and elsewhere) and the actions taken by government authorities and other entities
−Removed: to contain COVID-19 or mitigate its impact, almost all of which are beyond our control.
−Removed: The impacts of COVID-19 on our business,
−Removed: financial condition, and results of operations include, but are not limited to, the following (for more background information
−Removed: on our business generally, see “
−Removed: Business - Our Automobile Transaction and Related Services ”):
−Removed: Temporary closure
−Removed: of offices and travel restrictions
−Removed: We temporally
−Removed: closed our corporate headquarters and other offices to adhere to the lockdown policy in China from January 19 to February 23, 2020,
−Removed: as required by relevant PRC regulatory authorities.
−Removed: A large number of our employees was in mandatory self-quarantine and our entire
−Removed: business operations were restricted during such period.
−Removed: We reopened our offices in both Chengdu and Changsha on February 24, 2020,
−Removed: but only resumed full operations beginning near the end of March 2020.
−Removed: Adverse impact
−Removed: on our financial conditions
−Removed: Due to the lockdown
−Removed: policy and travel restrictions, the demand for ride-hailing services has been materially and adversely impacted in our areas of
−Removed: operation in China, which reduced the demand of our Automobile Transaction and Related Services.
−Removed: As a result, our revenue and income
−Removed: for the three months ended March 31, 2020 has been negatively impacted to a significant extent.
−Removed: Our ability to
−Removed: collect the monthly installment payments we receive from ride-hailing drivers during February and March 2020 was adversely impacted.
−Removed: Approximately 1,500 drivers delayed their monthly installments of February and March 2020, which resulted in a decrease in our
−Removed: monthly installment collection by $732,000 during February and March 2020.
−Removed: As of March 31, 2020, approximately 840 drivers exited
−Removed: the online ride-hailing business and tendered their automobiles to us for sublease or sale while approximately 380 drivers postponed
−Removed: their monthly installment payments from one to three months.
−Removed: As a result, we recorded bad debt expenses of $3,406,215.
−Removed: This situation
−Removed: may worsen if the COVID-19 pandemic reoccurs in the second half of 2020.
−Removed: We will continue to closely monitor our collections throughout
−Removed: daily cash flow has also been adversely impacted as a result of the unsatisfied collection from the online ride-hailing drivers
−Removed: and our potential guarantee expenditure pursuant to the Financing Agreements we guaranteed.
−Removed: Our cash flow will continue to be adversely
−Removed: impacted if the online ride-hailing market in China recovers slower than anticipated.
−Removed: This compromised cash flow situation is likely
−Removed: to continue during our first and second fiscal quarters of 2020-21 and may worsen if the COVID-19 pandemic reoccurs.
−Removed: In an effort to
−Removed: assist with our automobile purchasers, we have been negotiating with the financial institutions we cooperate with to extend the
−Removed: due dates for monthly payments that may be affected by the epidemic.
−Removed: Certain financial institutions have agreed to grant a grace
−Removed: period of up to four months from February to May for qualified drivers.
−Removed: Since April 2020,
−Removed: the COVID-19 epidemic in China has been effectively controlled and the online ride-hailing markets in Chengdu and Changsha have
−Removed: been in the progress of recovering.
−Removed: However, if the epidemic in China deteriorates during the year ending March 31, 2021, our automobile
−Removed: purchasers and leasees may be unable to generate sufficient income to pay their monthly installment payments and the financial
−Removed: institutions may not agree to further extend the due dates, which may create a significant risk of continuing default form our
−Removed: automobile purchasers.
+Added: Given the rapidly expanding
+Added: nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, and because all of our business operations and our workforce are concentrated in China (where the virus
+Added: first originated), our business, results of operations and financial condition have been adversely affected.
+Added: Due to the lockdown policy
+Added: and travel restrictions, the demand for ride-hailing services has been materially and adversely impacted in our areas of operation in
+Added: China, which reduced the demand of our Automobile Transaction and Related Services.
+Added: As a result, our revenue and income for the three
+Added: months ended March 31, 2020 and the subsequent three months ended June 30, 2020 was negatively impacted to a significant extent.
+Added: As the online ride-hailing markets in Chengdu and Changsha gradually recovered from the impact of COVID-19 since April 2020, our
+Added: revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020, three months ended December 31, 2020 and three months ended March 31,
+Added: 2021 had an increase of approximately 21% , 43% and 73%, respectively, as compared with three months ended June 30, 2020.
+Added: Our ability to collect the
+Added: monthly installment payments from ride-hailing drivers during February and March 2020 was adversely impacted.
+Added: Approximately
+Added: 1,500 drivers delayed their monthly installments of February and March 2020, which resulted in a decrease in our monthly installment
+Added: collection by $732,000 during February and March 2020.
+Added: Since April 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic in China has been effectively
+Added: controlled and the online ride-hailing markets in Chengdu and Changsha have been recovering.
+Added: As of March 31, 2021, approximately
+Added: 1,289 drivers exited the online ride-hailing business and tendered their automobiles to us for sublease or sale while approximately 43
+Added: drivers postponed their monthly installment payments.
+Added: As a result, we recorded accumulated bad debt expenses of approximately $3,530,000.
+Added: However, during the year ended March 31, 2021, there was an increase in our collection of monthly installments from automobile purchasers
+Added: and operating lease as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2020, and the negative impact has been gradually alleviated.
+Added: We will continue to closely monitor our collections.
+Added: Our daily cash flow has also
+Added: been adversely impacted as a result of the unsatisfied collection from the online ride-hailing drivers and our potential guarantee expenditure
+Added: pursuant to the financing agreements we guaranteed.
+Added: Our cash flow will continue to be adversely impacted if the online ride-hailing market
+Added: in China recovers slower than anticipated.
+Added: We anticipate having a larger cash outflow in our daily operations in the next twelve months
+Added: (even greater than during the year ended March 31, 2021) as we expand our Online Ride-hailing Platform Services in more cities in
+Added: China and incur more marketing and promotion expenses.
+Added: Our cash flow situation may worsen if the COVID-19 pandemic reoccurs in China.
+Added: In an effort to assist with
+Added: our automobile purchasers, we negotiated with the financial institutions we cooperate with to extend the due dates for monthly payments
+Added: that may be affected by the epidemic.
+Added: Certain financial institutions agreed to grant a grace period of up to four months from February to
+Added: May 2020 for qualified drivers.
+Added: We commenced the operation
+Added: of our online ride-hailing platform since late October 2020 and have witnessed the decrease in online ride-hailing orders in mid-December 2020,
+Added: when Chengdu reported 14 confirmed COVID-19 cases and fewer people took ride-hailing trips as a result.
+Added: The average daily rides completed
+Added: through our platform decreased by approximately 15% compared to that before the reporting of the new COVID-19 cases in Chengdu and recovered
+Added: a week later as the new confirmed cases in Chengdu were fully under control.
+Added: Consequently, the income of our Automobile Transaction and
+Added: Related Services customers who ran their business through the Didi platform also decreased during this period.
+Added: Similarly, in early January 2021,
+Added: Beijing reported three confirmed COVID-19 cases and one asymptomatic case involving drivers for Didi, a major transportation network company,
+Added: which also resulted in the decrease in orders in the Didi platform in Beijing.
+Added: Since mid-May 2021 to June 2021, Guangzhou has
+Added: reported a series of confirmed and asymptomatic COVID-19 cases, the local government has ensured concrete and effective measures to fight
+Added: against the resurgence, including suspending some traffic activities in certain medium-risk and high-risk areas in Guangzhou.
+Added: daily rides completed through our platform decreased by approximately 40% compared to that before the reporting of the new COVID-19 cases
+Added: in Guangzhou.
+Added: Recent local resurgences
+Added: of COVID-19 cases in some areas did not have material negative impacts on the economy of China, so we expect that the impact brought by
+Added: potential COVID-19 cases in the future may be limited as China has established plans to rapidly contain the spread of COVID-19 cases and
+Added: minimize related economic losses.
+Added: However, if the epidemic in China deteriorates during the year ending March 31, 2022, new confirmed
+Added: COVID-19 cases in the regions where we operate our online ride-hailing platform may have significant negative impact on the demand for
+Added: rides through online ride-hailing platforms, including our platform and our revenue from the Online Ride-hailing Platform Services may
+Added: In addition, our automobile
+Added: purchasers and lessees may be unable to generate sufficient income to make their monthly installment payments, which may create a significant
+Added: risk of continuing default from our automobile purchasers or lessees.
As a result, we may have to repay the defaulted amount as a guarantor
−Removed: Meanwhile, the collection of our
−Removed: receivables due from those automobile purchasers may also be further adversely affected, which may result in additional credit
−Removed: If we experience a widespread default by our automobile purchasers, our cash flow and results of operations will be materially
−Removed: and adversely affected.
−Removed: As a consequence, we could face shortfalls in liquidity without extra financing resources for the foreseeable
−Removed: future and we will be unable to grow our business and may be required to reduce or refocus our operations, which may raise substantial
−Removed: doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: Any of these factors related to COVID-19
−Removed: and other similar or currently unforeseen factors beyond our control could have an adverse effect on our overall business environment,
−Removed: cause uncertainties in the regions in China where we conduct business, cause our business to suffer in ways that we cannot predict
−Removed: and materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: Compete Effectively
−Removed: Our business and
−Removed: results of operations depend on our ability to compete effectively.
−Removed: Overall, our competitive position may be affected by, among
−Removed: other things, our service quality and our ability to price our solutions and services competitively.
−Removed: We will set up and continuously
−Removed: optimize our own business system to improve our service quality and user experience.
−Removed: Our competitors may have more resources than
−Removed: we do, including financial, technological, marketing and others and may be able to devote greater resources to the development
−Removed: and promotion of their services.
−Removed: We will need to continue to introduce new or enhance existing solutions and services to continue
−Removed: to attract automobile dealers, financial institutions, car buyers and other industry participants.
−Removed: Whether and how quickly we can
−Removed: do so will have a significant impact on the growth of our business.
−Removed: Market Opportunity
−Removed: and Government Regulations in China
−Removed: The demand for our services depends on
−Removed: overall market conditions of the ride-hailing industry in China.
−Removed: The continuous growth of the urban population places increasing
−Removed: pressure on the urban transportation and the improvement of living standards has increased the market demand for quality travel
−Removed: Traditional taxi service is limited, and the emerging online ride-hailing platforms have created good opportunities for
−Removed: the development of the online ride-hailing service market.
−Removed: Based on the monitoring of China E-Commerce Research Center, the number
−Removed: of online ride-hailing service users had reached 333 million by the end of 2018, representing an increase of 16% from 2017.
−Removed: to Bain & Company, the transaction value of China's online ride-hailing market in 2017 was larger than the total of the
−Removed: rest of the world.
−Removed: It is estimated that by 2021, the total transaction value of China's online ride-hailing market will reach $60
−Removed: The ride-hailing industry is facing increasing competition in China and is attracting more capital investment.
−Removed: in addition to the traditional online ride-hailing platform, automobile manufacturers, offline operation service companies and
−Removed: financial and map service providers have built cooperation relationships with each other to make the online ride-hailing industry
−Removed: a more aggregated industry.
−Removed: In March 2019, T3, a new travel service platform, was established in Nanjing and subsequently
−Removed: in other cities, including Wuhan and Chongqing, and has accumulated over 1 million registered users since March 2019.
−Removed: jointly invested by three large automobile manufacturers, FAW, Dongfeng and Chang’an, and leading internet, retail and finance
−Removed: companies such as Suning, Tencent and Alibaba and intends to compete with Didi and capitalize on the great potential of the ride-hailing
−Removed: As of December 2019, Alibaba, together with its affiliate, has invested in or acquired more than 30 enterprises in
−Removed: the fields related to ride-hailing, including Hello Travel, Yongan Travel, Didi, Gaode Software, Xiaopeng Automobile and others
−Removed: within the ride-hailing industry.
−Removed: The online ride-hailing industry may also
−Removed: be affected by, among other factors, the general economic conditions in China.
−Removed: The interest rates and unemployment rates may affect
−Removed: the demand of ride-hailing services and automobile purchasers’
+Added: or lose the monthly rental revenue.
+Added: If we experience a widespread default by our automobile purchasers/lessees, our cash flow and results
+Added: of operations will be materially and adversely affected.
+Added: As a consequence, we could face shortfalls in liquidity without extra financing
+Added: resources for the foreseeable future and lose the ability to grow our business or may even be required to scale down or restructure our

+Added: to COVID-19 and other similar or currently unforeseen factors beyond our control could have an adverse effect on our overall business
+Added: environment, cause uncertainties in the regions in China where we conduct business, cause our business to suffer in ways that we cannot
+Added: predict and materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: Ability to Manage and Grow New Online Ride-Hailing Business
+Added: Due to the fierce competition
+Added: of online ride-hailing industry in Chengdu and Changsha, our ability to increase our revenue over time may be limited if we focus only
+Added: on our current Automobile Transaction and Related Services business model.
+Added: As part of our strategy to provide an all-encompassing solution
+Added: for online ride-hailing drivers, we have expanded our services to drivers through the operation of Xixingtianxia,
+Added: our own online ride-hailing platform, which has brought us a new stream of revenue.
+Added: We generate revenue from commissions earned
+Added: from each completed order, which represent the difference between an upfront quoted fare and the amount earned by a driver based on actual
+Added: time and distance for the ride charged to the rider.
+Added: As the aggregation platforms distribute the demand orders to different online ride-hailing
+Added: platforms, the flow of drivers in our area of operations is enhanced, leading to a higher probability that more ride orders will be distributed
+Added: to our platform, which in turn will increase the revenue of the drivers who use our platform (and our revenue).
+Added: This also allows us to
+Added: attract more drivers to engage their online ride-hailing business on our platform.
+Added: Through a series of promotion and effective daily management
+Added: and training services, we expect our own online ride-hailing platform will offer us a stable revenue source which can also help grow our
+Added: automobile financing and leasing business.
+Added: Pursuant to the cooperation
+Added: agreement signed with Didi for our Automobile Transaction and Related Services, we may be penalized by Didi, or our partnership with Didi
+Added: may be terminated as we now operate a business competitive with Didi.
+Added: However, the service fees we earned from Didi for automobile transaction
+Added: and related services currently represent less than 0.1% of our total revenue.
+Added: Therefore, we believe the termination of cooperation with
+Added: Didi on automobile transaction and related services will not have a material influence on our business or results of operations.
+Added: Ability to Compete Effectively
+Added: Our business and results
+Added: of operations depend on our ability to compete effectively.
+Added: Overall, our competitive position may be affected by, among other things,
+Added: our service quality and our ability to price our solutions and services competitively.
+Added: We will set up and continuously optimize our own
+Added: business system to improve our service quality and user experience.
+Added: Our competitors may have more resources than we do, including financial,

+Added: will need to continue to introduce new or enhance existing solutions and services to continue to attract automobile dealers, financial
+Added: institutions, car buyers, leasees, ride-hailing drivers and other industry participants.

−Removed: were primarily generated from fees charged for our services in matching investors with borrowers.
−Removed: We charged borrowers transaction

−Removed: Our business and results of operations were affected by general
