Exhibits 53 SIGNATURES 54 i 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 (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including 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. There can be no assurance that actual results will not materially differ from expectations. Such statements include, but are not limited to, any statements relating to our ability to consummate any acquisition or other business combination and any other statements that are not statements of current or historical facts. These statements are based on management’s current expectations, but actual results may differ materially due to various factors, including, but not limited to: ● our goals and strategies, including our ability to maintain our automobile transaction and related services 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 regulations and the impact by public health epidemics 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 online ride-hailing, automobile financing and leasing industries; ● changes in online ride-hailing, transportation networks, and other fundamental changes in transportation pattern in China; ● our expectations regarding demand for and market acceptance of our products and services; ● our expectations regarding our customer base; ● our ability to maintain positive relationships with our business partners; ● competition in the online 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. ii PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 1.

The following diagram illustrates the Company’s corporate structure as of the filing date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements: Former Voting Agreements with Jinkailong’s Other Shareholders Hunan Ruixi entered into two voting agreements signed in August 2018 and February 2020, respectively, as amended (the “Voting Agreements”), with Jinkailong and other Jinkailong’s shareholders holding an aggregate of 65 % equity interests. 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. 5 On March 31, 2022, Hunan Ruixi entered into an Agreement for the Termination of the Agreement for Concerted Action by Shareholders of Jinkailong (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the Voting Agreements mentioned above was terminated as of the date of the Termination Agreement. The termination will not impair the past and future legitimate rights and interests of all parties in Jinkailong. Starting from April 1, 2022, the parties no longer maintain a concerted action relationship with respect to the decision required to take concerted action at its shareholders meetings as stipulated in the Voting Agreements. Each party shall independently express opinions and exercise various rights such as voting rights and perform relevant obligations in accordance with the provisions of laws, regulations, normative documents and the Jinkailong’s articles of association. As a result of the Termination Agreement, the Company no longer has a controlling financial interest in Jinkailong and has determined that Jinkailong was deconsolidated from the Company’s Unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements effective as of March 31, 2022. However, as Hunan Ruixi still holds 35 % equity interests in Jinkailong, Jinkailong is the equity investee company of the Company since then. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has outstanding balance due from Jinkailong amounted to $ 2,847,738 net of allowance for credit losses, of which, $ 2,765,537 is to be repaid over a period from January 2026 to December 2026, classified as due from a related party, net, non-current. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has outstanding balance due from Jinkailong amounted to $ 3,245,907 , net of allowance for credit losses, of which, $ 2,747,313 is to be repaid over a period from April 2025 to December 2026, classified as due from a related party, net, non-current. (refer to Note 15). As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, allowance for credit losses due from Jinkailong amounted to $ 3,778,815 and $ 3,099,701 , respectively. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded provision for credit losses against the balance due from Jinkailong of $ 367,245 and $ 722,681 , respectively. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded provision for credit losses against the balance due from Jinkailong of $0 and $ 680,396 , respectively. 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) the net loss of approximately $ 1.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024; (2) accumulated deficit of approximately $ 43.3 million as of December 31, 2024; (3) the working capital deficit of approximately $ 3.4 million as of December 31, 2024; and (4) one purchase commitment of approximately $ 0.9 million for 100 automobiles. As of the filing date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has entered into one purchase contract with an automobile dealer to purchase a total of 100 automobiles in the amount of approximately $ 1.5 million, of which approximately $ 0.6 million has been remitted as purchase prepayments. The remaining purchase commitment of approximately $0.9 million shall be remitted in installment to be completed before March 31, 2025. 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 curtail or cease its operations. Management is trying to alleviate the going concern risk through the following sources: ● 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. 6 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) changes in the demand for the Company’s services, (ii) PRC government policies, (iii) economic conditions in China and worldwide, (iv) competitive pricing in the automobile transaction and related service and ride-hailing industries, (v) changes in the Company’s relationships with key business partners, (vi) the ability of financial institutions in China to provide continued financial support to the Company’s customers, and (vii) 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 ability to continue as a going concern and results of operations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of such uncertainties. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024, the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, as well as other information disclosed in the accompanying notes, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and pursuant to Regulation S-X. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on June 27, 2024. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any other future years or interim periods. (b) 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 is U.S. dollars (“US$”) and the 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$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity. 7 Translation of amounts from RMB into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods: December 31, March 31, 2024 2024 Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts – RMB: US$1: 7.2993 7.2203 For the three months ended December 31, 2024 2023 Items in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and cash flows – RMB: US$1: 7.1896 7.2247 For the nine months ended December 31, 2024 2023 Items in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and cash flows – RMB: US$1: 7.1981 7.1600 (c) Use of estimates In presenting the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment 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. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, revenue recognition, residual values of property and equipment, lease liabilities, right-of-use assets, determinations of the useful lives and valuation of long-lived assets, estimates of allowances for credit losses for receivables and due from related parties, estimates of impairment of long-lived assets, and valuation of deferred tax assets. (d) 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. 8 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, 2024 and March 31, 2024: Carrying Value as of Fair Value Measurement as of December 31, December 31, 2024 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (Unaudited) Derivative liabilities $ 182,933 $ — $ — $ 182,933 Carrying Value as of Fair Value Measurement as of March 31, March 31, 2024 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Derivative liabilities $ 288,833 $ — $ — $ 288,833 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, 2024 and for the year ended March 31, 2024: 2019 Registered Direct Offering August 2020 Underwritten Public February 2021 Registered Direct May 2021 Registered Direct Offering November 2021 Private Placement Series A Warrants Placement Warrants Offering Warrants Offering Warrants Investors Warrants Placement Warrants Investors Warrants Placement Warrants Total BALANCE as of March 31, 2023 $ 1 $ 5 $ 8,450 $ 11,491 $ 161,961 $ 12,147 $ 284,762 $ 22,965 $ 501,782 Change in fair value of derivative liabilities — — ( 5,231 ) ( 7,158 ) ( 81,325 ) ( 6,099 ) ( 105,242 ) ( 7,888 ) ( 212,943 ) Warrant forfeited due to expiration ( 1 ) ( 5 ) — — — — — — ( 6 ) BALANCE as of March 31, 2024 — — 3,219 4,333 80,636 6,048 179,520 15,077 288,833 Change in fair value of derivative liabilities — — ( 2,654 ) ( 3,125 ) ( 41,939 ) ( 3,146 ) ( 51,320 ) ( 3,716 ) ( 105,900 ) BALANCE as of December 31, 2024 (Unaudited) $ — $ — $ 565 $ 1,208 $ 38,697 $ 2,902 $ 128,200 $ 11,361 $ 182,933 The August 2020 Underwriters’ Warrants, the February 2021 Placement Agent Warrants, the February 2021 ROFR Warrants, the May 2021 Investors Warrants, the May 2021 Placement Agent Warrants, and the November 2021 Investors Warrants and November 2021 Placement Agent Warrants (all discussed below) are not traded in an active securities market; therefore, the Company estimates the fair value to those warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation model as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024. 9 As of December 31, 2024 August 4, 2020 February 10, 2021 May 13, 2021 November 10, 2021 Placement Placement Placement Underwriters’ Agent ROFR Investor Agent Investor Agent Granted Date Warrants Warrants Warrants Warrants Warrants Warrants Warrants (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) # of shares exercisable 31,808 38,044 15,218 553,192 41,490 5,310,763 55,148 Valuation date 12/31/2024 12/31/2024 12/31/2024 12/31/2024 12/31/2024 12/31/2024 12/31/2024 Exercise price $ 6.25 $ 13.80 $ 17.25 $ 10.50 $ 10.50 $ 1.13 $ 6.80 Stock price $ 1.07 $ 1.07 $ 1.07 $ 1.07 $ 1.07 $ 1.07 $ 1.07 Expected term (years) 0.59 1.11 1.11 1.36 1.36 1.86 1.86 Risk-free interest rate 4.24 % 4.15 % 4.15 % 4.15 % 4.15 % 4.08 % 4.08 % Expected volatility 113 % 113 % 113 % 113 % 113 % 113 % 113 % As of March 31, 2024 August 4, 2020 February 10, 2021 May 13, 2021 November 10, 2021 Placement Placement Placement Underwriters’ Agent ROFR Investor Agent Investor Agent Granted Date Warrants Warrants Warrants Warrants Warrants Warrants Warrants # of shares exercisable 31,808 38,044 15,218 553,192 41,490 5,310,763 55,148 Valuation date 3/31/2024 3/31/2024 3/31/2024 3/31/2024 3/31/2024 3/31/2024 3/31/2024 Exercise price $ 6.25 $ 13.80 $ 17.25 $ 10.50 $ 10.50 $ 1.13 $ 6.80 Stock price $ 0.90 $ 0.90 $ 0.90 $ 0.90 $ 0.90 $ 0.90 $ 0.90 Expected term (years) 1.35 1.87 1.87 2.12 2.12 2.61 2.61 Risk-free interest rate 4.88 % 4.65 % 4.65 % 4.57 % 4.57 % 4.47 % 4.47 % Expected volatility 117 % 117 % 117 % 117 % 117 % 117 % 117 % * Giving retroactive effect to the 1-for-10 reverse stock split effected on April 6, 2022. 10 As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, financial instruments of the Company comprised primarily current assets and current liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, finance lease receivables, prepayments, other receivables and other assets, due from related parties, accounts payable, advance from customers, lease liabilities, accrued expenses and other liabilities, due to related parties, and operating and financing lease liabilities, which approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments, and current liabilities of borrowings from a financial institution, which approximate their fair values because of the stated loan interest rate to the rate charged by similar financial institutions. The non-current portion of finance lease receivables, operating and financing lease liabilities were recorded at the gross amount 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, 2024 and March 31, 2024. 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. (e) 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. During the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2021, the Company acquired Hunan Ruixi and XXTX, respectively, and disposed XXTX in August 2024. The Company evaluated how the CODM manages the businesses of the Company to maximize efficiency in allocating resources and assessing performance. The Company has one operating and reportable segment of automobile transaction and related services as set forth in Note 1, after discontinued the online ride-hailing platform services on August 20, 2024. (f) 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 payments for automobiles, funds received from automobile lessees as payments for rentals, which were held at the third-party platforms’ fund accounts and which are unrestricted and immediately available for withdrawal and use. (g) 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. The carrying value of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance that reflects the Company’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. An allowance for credit losses is recorded in the period when a loss is probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating collection is unlikely, historical bad debt rates, accounts aging, financial conditions of the customer and industry trends. Starting from April 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No.2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASC Topic 326”). Management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance when it is considered 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. The Company’s management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary. As of December 31 , 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company record allowance for credit losses of $ 1,529 and $ 1,545 against accounts receivable, respectively. 11 (h) Finance lease receivables 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 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 for credit losses when necessary. Finance lease receivables is charged off against the allowance for credit losses after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company determined no allowance for credit losses was necessary for finance lease receivables. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, finance lease receivables consisted of the following: December 31, March 31, 2024 2024 (Unaudited) Minimum lease payments receivable $ 310,183 $ 354,617 Less: Unearned interest ( 102,425 ) ( 117,927 ) Financing lease receivables $ 207,758 $ 236,690 Finance lease receivables, current $ 177,807 $ 144,166 Finance lease receivables, non-current $ 29,951 $ 92,524 Future scheduled minimum lease payments for investments in sales-type leases as of December 31, 2024 are as follows: Minimum future payments receivable Twelve months ending December 31, 2025 $ 246,115 Twelve months ending December 31, 2026 61,294 Twelve months ending December 31, 2027 2,774 Total $ 310,183 (i) Property and equipment, net Property and equipment primarily consist of leasehold improvements, computer equipment, office equipment, fixtures and furniture and automobiles, which are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization less any provision required for impairment in value. Depreciation and amortization 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, fixture and furniture 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, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not recognize impairment for property and equipment. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization 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. 12 (j) Loss per share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net 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 loss per share, net loss attributable to stockholders for basic loss per share is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, including share-based awards, under the treasury stock method and convertible securities under the if-converted method. Potentially dilutive securities, of which the amounts are insignificant, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share if their inclusion is anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s dilutive securities from the outstanding series A convertible preferred stock are convertible into 495,706 shares of common stock. This amount is not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their impact is anti-dilutive. (k) 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 unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as “change in fair value of derivative liabilities”. (l) 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. The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when the contract is entered into by the parties, the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and consideration to collect is substantially probable. 13 Disaggregated information of revenues by business lines are as follows: For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended December 31, December 31, 2024 2023 2024 2023 (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) Automobile Transaction and Related Services - Operating lease revenues from automobile rentals $ 747,253 $ 992,071 $ 2,087,986 $ 3,069,458 - Service fees from NEVs leasing 68,963 8,412 142,751 33,309 - Monthly services commissions 43,755 51,388 100,690 168,199 - Financing revenues 23,668 12,195 72,697 37,135 - Service fees from automobile purchase services 2,959 19,122 29,862 31,354 - Other revenues 33,238 25,019 110,739 140,998 Total Revenues $ 919,836 $ 1,108,207 $ 2,544,725 $ 3,480,453 Automobile transaction and related services Operating lease revenues from automobile rentals –The Company generates revenue from sub-leasing automobiles to some online ride-hailing drivers or third-parties and leasing its own automobiles. The Company recognizes revenue wherein an automobile is transferred to the lessees and the lessees has the ability to control the asset, is accounted for under ASC Topic 842. Rental transactions are satisfied over the rental period and is recognized over time. As the operating lease revenue are variable in nature which is based on online ride-hailing drivers or third-parties’ performance for a certain period, the Company recognized the revenue from operating lease by using the output method based on periodic settlement between the Company and the online ride-hailing drivers or third-parties when such revenue is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Rental periods are short term in nature, generally are twelve months or less. Service fees from NEVs leasing and automobile purchase services - Services fees from NEVs leasing are paid by some lessees who rent new energy electric vehicles from the Company, which based on the product solutions. 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, installment of GPS devices, ride-hailing driver qualification and other administrative procedures, which is based on the sales price of the automobiles and relevant services provided. Monthly services commissions – Commissions from the services generated from the management and related services provided to Partner Platforms and other companies, which are settled on a monthly basis. The Company recognizes revenues at a point in time when performance obligations are completed and the commission amount is confirmed by the Partner Platforms and other companies, based on their evaluations on the services provided by the Company. 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. The Company recognizes those revenues at a point in time when above mentioned services are completed, and corresponding an automobile is delivered to the lessee or purchaser. Accounts receivable related to the revenue from NEVs leasing and automobile purchase services is collected upon the automobiles are delivered to lessees or purchaser. Other revenues – The Company generated other revenues such as miscellaneous service fees charged to its customers for some supporting services provided to online ride-hailing drivers and sales of automobiles. The Company recognizes revenues at a point in time when performance obligations are completed and the collectability is probable from the customers. 14 Leases - Lessor The Company recognized revenue as lessor in accordance with ASC 842. 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 %). Automobiles 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. 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 five years, since this represents the most common long-term lease term for its automobiles and the automobiles will be used for online ride-hailing services. The Company believes three to five 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. 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, 2024, the Company’s pricing interest rate was 6.0 % per annum. (m) Discontinued operations A discontinued operation may include a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity, or a business or nonprofit activity. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operation if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when any of the following occurs: (1) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale; (2) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of by sale; (3) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of other than by sale (for example, by abandonment or in a distribution to owners in a spinoff). (n) 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 amounts as of the balance sheet dates. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, approximately $ 71,000 and $ 21,000 , respectively, were deposited with a bank in the United States which is insured by the U.S. government up to $ 250,000 . As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, approximately $ 851,000 and $ 719,000 , 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 are insured for a maximum of approximately $ 68,000 (RMB 500,000 ). To limit exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Company primarily places 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, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance of currency outside of China, rates and methods of taxation and other factors. 15 b. In measuring the credit risk of accounts receivable 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. 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 and nine months. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company record allowance for credit losses of $ 1,529 and $ 1,545 against accounts receivable, respectively. 2) Foreign currency risk As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024 substantially all of the Company’s operating activities and major assets and liabilities, except for the cash deposit of approximately $ 71,000 and $ 21,000 , 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 (the “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 significantly affected. RMB depreciated from 7.22 RMB into US$ 1.00 on March 31, 2024 to 7.30 RMB into US$ 1.00 on December 31, 2024. (o) Comparability and reclassification adjustments The Company has reclassified certain comparative balances in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and certain comparative amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 to conform to the current period’s presentation. The assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations have been classified as current assets of discontinued operations, property and equipment, net of discontinued operations, other assets of discontinued operations, current liabilities of discontinued operations, and other liabilities of discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024. The results of discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 have been reflected separately in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as a single line item for all periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Cash flows from discontinued operations of the three categories for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 were separately presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. (p) Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), the Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company and has elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which delays the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. 16 In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements — codification amendments in response to SEC’s disclosure Update and Simplification initiative which amend the disclosure or presentation requirements of codification subtopic 230-10 Statement of Cash Flows—Overall, 250-10 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections— Overall, 260-10 Earnings Per Share— Overall, 270-10 Interim Reporting— Overall, 440-10 Commitments—Overall, 470-10 Debt—Overall, 505-10 Equity—Overall, 815-10 Derivatives and Hedging—Overall, 860-30 Transfers and Servicing—Secured Borrowing and Collateral, 932-235 Extractive Activities— Oil and Gas—Notes to Financial Statements, 946-20 Financial Services— Investment Companies— Investment Company Activities, and 974-10 Real Estate—Real Estate Investment Trusts—Overall. The amendments represent changes to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of above subtopics. Many of the amendments allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the SEC’s requirements. Also, the amendments align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations. For entities subject to existing SEC disclosure requirements or those that must provide financial statements to the SEC for securities purposes without contractual transfer restrictions, the effective date aligns with the date when the SEC removes the related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K. Early adoption is not allowed. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective two years later from the date of the SEC’s removal. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the update on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, which is an update to Topic 280, Segment Reporting: Improvements to reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which enhances the disclosure required for reportable segments in annual and interim consolidated financial statements, including additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of AUS 2023-07 on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which is an update to Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments in this update enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2023-07 will have on its annual and interim disclosures. 4.

On August 8, 2024, Senmiao Consulting entered into a certain Acquisition Agreement with Debt Assumption Takeover (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Jiangsu Yuelaiyuexing Technology Co., Ltd. (the “Purchaser”), and other parties thereto, in connection with the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by the Purchaser of 100 % of the Company’s equity interest in XXTX and its subsidiaries. On August 20, 2024, the Acquisition was completed and the Company disposed of its 100 % equity interest in XXTX and its subsidiaries to the Purchaser, effectively discontinued its operations in the online ride-hailing platform service segment.

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 established the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI), a new inclusion rule affecting non-routine income earned by foreign subsidiaries. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in China were operating at loss and as such, did not record a liability for GILTI tax. The Company’s net operating loss for U.S. income taxes from U.S amounted to approximately $ 0.2 million and $ 0.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and amounted to approximately $ 0.8 million and $ 1.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company’s net operating loss carryforward for U.S. income taxes was approximately $ 8.3 million and $ 7.6 million, respectively. 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 consolidated balance sheets. Management reviews the valuation allowance periodically and makes changes accordingly. PRC Senmiao Consulting, Sichuan Senmiao Ronglian Technology Co., Ltd. (“Sichuan Senmiao”), Hunan Ruixi, Sichuan Senmiao Yicheng Assets Management Co., Ltd. (“Yicheng”), Corenel, and Jiekai are subject to PRC Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) on the taxable income in accordance with the relevant PRC income tax laws.

As of December 31, 2024, such net operating loss from discontinued operations will expire from 2025 through 2026, if not used. 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 not be fully realized.

Lessee As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company has engaged in offices and showroom leases which were classified as operating leases. The Company leased automobiles 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.

The amortization of finance ROU assets is recognized on a straight-line 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.

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.

XXTX earned 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. Due the fierce competition of the online ride-hailing industry, XXTX had been suffered loss. Since December 2023, XXTX had engaged Anhui Lianma Technology Co., Ltd. (“Anhui Lianma”), a third-party to co-operate the online ride-hailing platform by outsourcing certain daily operation work to Anhui Lianma in most of cities it operates platform in XXTX and Anhui Lianma will jointly share the operational profits, with the specific calculation method being defined in the cooperation agreement. However, considering the changes in online ride-hailing industry and development plan of the Company, on August 8, 2024, we entered into an acquisition agreement with debt assumption takeover (“Acquisition Agreement”) with a third party named Jiangsu Yuelaiyuexing Technology Co., Ltd. (“Yuelai”), and certain other parties thereto. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Yuelai acquired all of the equity interests the XXTX at a total purchase price of zero, while taking over certain liabilities of XXTX as defined in the Acquisition Agreement. On August 20, 2024, the acquisition was completed and we ceased the online ride-hailing platform services. 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. We acquire customers for our Automobile Transaction and Related 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 maintain the number of our customers by marketing our companies to our existing and prospective automobile lessees in the cities we now operate in. We expect to keep 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 Partner Platforms. An effective cross-selling strategies between our automobile leasing business and our Partner Platforms 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 staff, sharing market resources with our equity investee company, and improving the quality and variety of our services. As of December 31, 2024, we had 4 employees in our own sales department. 33 Management of Automobile Rentals Due to the fierce competition of online ride-hailing industry in those cities we operated in, we have witnessed a high turn-over rate on the short-term car rentals during the nine months ended December 31, 2024. To meet the demand in Chengdu and Changsha, we have purchased and leased automobiles from third parties for our operating lease. The daily management and timely maintenance of leased automobiles will have a significant effect on the stability and potential growth of our income from leasing automobiles in the next twelve months. The effective management, including maintaining the high turn-over rate of our automobiles through our proprietary system and experienced auto-management team could provide in-time delivery and qualified automobiles to potential lessees, either for personal use or providing online ride-hailing services. As of December 31, 2024, for parking and management of automobiles for operating lease, we had one parking lot, an exhibition hall and 3 employees in Changsha, and we also share the parking lot with our equity investee company, Jinkailong in Chengdu. During the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the average utilization of the automobiles for operating lease was approximately 85.9% and 80.6%, respectively. During the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the average utilization of the automobiles for operating lease was approximately 84.8% and 77.6%, 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 collaborations with business partners and provide value-added services to our customers. The attraction of new automobile leases depends on our leasing solutions with attractive rental price and flexible leasing terms. We have also adopted a series of pricing formulas to adopt the market changes, 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 leases we attract, which in turn affect our financial performance. The attraction of new customers depends on the comprehensive income they could earn from our own or Partner Platforms, which is mainly affected by the number of orders distributed to them through our platform and the amount of the incentives paid to them from platforms. Our revenue growth also depends on our abilities to effectively price our services, which enables us to attract more customers and improve our profit margin. Ability to Retain Key Business Cooperators Historically, we have set up a series of strategy and business relationships with certain affiliates of some famous and leading companies of NEVs manufacturers, online ride-hailing platforms, local NEVs leasing companies, and travel service providers to develop our Automobile Transaction and Related Services. We earned commission or services fee from them, purchased and leased automobiles for our business at a favorable price. The close relationships have provided us with the necessary capacity to support the development of our online ride-hailing platform and leasing business. To retain these valuable cooperators and continuously explore opportunities to collaborate with them in more areas is important to us to have considerable resources to support the exploration and expansion of our business into new cities. Meanwhile, in order to strengthen our market position in certain cities, our subsidiaries, Hunan Ruixi and Jiekai, have built up cooperation relationships with Partner Platforms, such as Hunan Didi Technology Co., Ltd., Chengdu Anma Zhixing Technology Co., Ltd., Sichuan Peitu Kuaixing Technology Co., Ltd. and Chongqing Yiqizhao Technology Co., Ltd. Chengdu Bran ch, whereby the online ride-hailing requests and orders shall be completed on Partner Platforms utilizing the network of cars and drivers of us while Hunan Ruixi and Jiekai earned rental income from drivers and earned commissions from Partner Platforms. 34 Ability to Collect Receivables on a Timely Basis For receivables from Auto Operating Leasing, we usually settle the rental income with each online ride-hailing driver monthly based on the product solutions they chose. In accordance with the development of the operating lease business, our Partner Platforms, such as Gaode, agree to temporarily “lock-up” the fares of the rides which the driver earned from the platform to ensure the timely collection of our rental receivables from them. As of December 31, 2024, we had accounts receivable of operating lease of approximately $40,000 in total. Besides, during the nine months ended December 31, 2024, we settled our commissions with the Partner Platforms for our online ride-hailing platform services and automobile rental income on a monthly basis. The efficiency of collection of the monthly and weekly 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 from drivers. Our business department has also set up a stable and close relationship with Partner Platforms to ensure the timely collection of commissions. 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 Effectively We manage the credit risk arising from the default of automobile purchasers and lessees by performing credit checks on each automobile purchaser or lessee 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 monitoring the daily gross fare earned by the online ride-hailing drivers, who are our majority customers and run their business through our online ride-hailing platform during the nine months ended December 31, 2024. We do this 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. Further, the automobiles subject to our financing leases are not collateralized by us. As of December 31, 2024, the total value of non-collateralized automobiles was approximately $216,000. 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. 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, lessees, 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. 35 Market Opportunity and Government Regulations in China The demand for our services depends on overall market conditions of the online 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 emerging online platforms have created good opportunities for the development of the online ride-hailing service market. The market value is expected to increase from RMB354.7 billion in 2024 to RMB751.3 billion in 2028, owing to rising consumer demand for economical mobility options and an amplified penetration of shared mobility services, especially in lower-tier cities. According to the 54th Statistical report on Internet Development in China published in August 2024 by the China Internet Network Information Center (the “CNNIC”), the number of online ride-hailing service users had reached 503 million by the end of December 2023, and took approximately 45.7% of the total number of Chinese internet users. In addition, in recent years, aggregation platforms have gained rising significance in the shared mobility industry. According to Frost & Sullivan, the portion of ride hailing orders fulfilled through aggregation platforms increased from 3.5% in 2018 to 30.0% in 2023, and is expected to further increase to 49.0% by 2028. The online ride-hailing industry is also facing increasing competition in China and is attracting more capital investment. For example, Dida Inc., Chenqi Technology Limited and CaoCao Inc. have filed their prospectuses to the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited in March 2024 and April 2024, respectively. However, the participants in the online ride-hailing industry are facing increasingly fierce competitions. According to the Ministry of Transportation (the “MOT”) of the People’s Republic of China, as of October 30, 2024, approximately 362 online ride-hailing platforms have obtained booking taxi operating licenses and the total volume of online ride-hailing orders was approximately 1,007 million in October 2024 in China, representing an increase of approximately 8% and 24% as compared with the ones as of October 30, 2023, respectively. Meanwhile, approximately 3.21 million online booking taxi transportation certificates and approximately 7.48 million online booking taxi driver’s licenses were issued nationwide in China, both representing an increase of approximately 18% as compared with the ones as of December 31, 2023. Since 2023, the municipal transportation bureaus in a series of cities in China have released operational dynamics and risk warnings for the online ride-hailing industry, stating that the online ride-hailing market has become saturated. They remind enterprises and practitioners who intend to engage in online ride-hailing services should have a detailed understanding of relevant regulations, conduct market research, fully consider changes in operating income due to factors such as supply and demand, market conditions, fluctuations or continuous declines, objectively evaluate the actual income level of industry practitioners, and make rational and prudent career choices. 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 average income of individual and intensify the competition between platforms. 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. 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”, which was abolished and replaced by the updated version issued on July 26, 2021. On August 10, 2017, the Transportation Commission of Chengdu further issued the guidelines on compliance requirements for online ride-hailing businesses, including Working Process for the Online Appointment of Taxi Drivers Qualification Examination and Issuance and Online Appointment Taxi Transportation Certificate Issuance Process. On November 28, 2016, Guangzhou Municipal People’s Government promulgated Interim Measures for the Management of Online Ride Hailing Operation and Service in Guangzhou, as amended on November 14, 2019. According to these regulations and guidelines, three licenses /certificates are required for operating the online ride-hailing business in Chengdu and Guangzhou: (1) the ride-hailing service platform 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”). Besides, all the new cars used for online ride-hailing in Chengdu should be NEVs since July 2021. However, approximately 41% of our ride-hailing drivers have not obtained the driver’s license for online ride-hailing services as of December 31, 2024 while all of the cars used for online ride-hailing services which we provided management services 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 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. Meanwhile, during the nine months ended December 31, 2024, Gaode conducted several rounds of compliance checks in Chengdu and other cities. Gaode reduced the number of orders dispatched to XXTX platform as it found certain drivers who provide their online ride-hailing services through our platform without obtaining the driver’s licenses during the check. We had assisted the drivers to obtain the required certificate and license for our Automobile Transaction and Related Services. However, there was no guarantee that all of the drivers who run their online ride-hailing business would be able to obtain all the certificates and licenses. These Partner Platforms may not allow unqualified drivers who lease our automobiles to drive through these platforms, or reduce their commission income, so that they may not be able to earn enough income from those Partner Platforms to pay our rental fees. Our business and results of operations shall be materially and adversely affected if we could not serve qualified drivers or our served drivers are suspended from providing ride-hailing services. 36 Furthermore, 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. Pursuant to the Interim Measures, during the nine months ended December 31, 2024, XXTX was fined by approximately $3,000 by Traffic Management Bureaus in Changsha for providing online ride-hailing platform services to unqualified drivers. Since October 2020, XXTX had been fined by approximately $311,000 by Traffic Management Bureaus in Changsha, Chengdu, Guangzhou and other cities, of which, approximately $62,000 was further compensated by drivers or cooperated third parties. The Chinese government has exercised and continued to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. For example, the Chinese cybersecurity regulator announced on July 2, 2021 that it had begun an investigation of Didi and two days later ordered that the company’s app be removed from smartphone app stores. We believe that our current operations are in compliance with the laws and regulations of the Chinese cybersecurity regulator. However, the Company’s operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to its business or industry.

Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2024 decreased by $188,371, or approximately 17.0%, as compared with the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease number of the automobiles for operating lease. As we focus on our automobile rental business currently, we expect revenue from our automobile rental to continuously account for a majority of our revenues. We plan to provide a series of product solutions to sustain and further increase the number of our automobiles for operating leases. 37 The following table sets forth the breakdown of revenues by revenue source for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023: For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024 2023 (unaudited) (unaudited) Revenue from automobile transactions and related services - Operating lease revenues from automobile rentals $ 747,253 $ 992,071 - Service fees from NEVs leasing 68,963 8,412 - Monthly services commissions 43,755 51,388 - Financing revenues 23,668 12,195 - Service fees from automobile purchase services 2,959 19,122 - Other revenues 33,238 25,019 Total Revenue $ 919,836 $ 1,108,207 Revenue from our automobile transaction and related services mainly includes operating lease revenues from automobile rentals, service fees from NEVs leasing, monthly services commissions, financing revenues, service fees from automobile purchase services, and other services fees, which accounted for approximately 81.2%, 7.5%, 4.8%, 2.6%, 0.3% and 3.6%, respectively, of the total revenue from automobile transaction and related services during the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Operating lease revenues from automobile rentals We generate revenues from leasing our own automobiles, sub-leasing automobiles leased from third-parties or rendered by online ride-hailing drivers with their authorization for a lease term of no more than twelve months. The decrease of rental income of $244,818 or approximately 24.7% during the three months ended December 31, 2024 was mainly due to the decrease in the number of the automobiles leased for operating lease as well as average monthly rental income per automobile. We leased approximately 662 automobiles with an average monthly rental income of approximately $383 per automobile, resulting in a rental income of $747,253, including rental income of $2,882 from Jinkailong, for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

The decrease of $7,633 or approximately 14.9% was due to decrease in the number of the automobiles and drivers we served, who ran their business through the Partner Platforms. 38 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 $23,668 from an average monthly number of 49 automobiles and $12,195 from an average monthly number of 26 automobiles during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase was due to the monthly payment we charged to customers and the average number of automobiles served for financial leasing increased during the three months ended December 31, 2024. Service fees from automobile purchase services and Other revenues We generated revenues of $2,959 and $19,122 from the automobile purchase services during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease was due to the number of the automobiles purchase transactions decreased to 2 during the three months ended December 31, 2024 from 14 in the same period in 2023. We generate other revenues from other miscellaneous service fees charged to our customers. Other services fees mainly include the maintenance fees charged to our customers pursuant to certain new production solutions.

Cost of revenues decreased by $76,308 or approximately 9.3% during the three months ended December 31, 2024 as compared with the same period in 2023, mainly due to the monthly average number of the automobiles leased for operating lease decreased to 324 in the three months ended December 31, 2024 from 444 in the three months ended December 31, 2023. During the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the costs of automobiles under operating leases with amount of $44,479 and $80,973, respectively, was from a related party. Gross Profit We had gross profit of $176,387 and $288,450, respectively, during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Income Tax Benefit For the nine months ended December 31, 2024, XXTX had deferred tax benefit of $4,510, resulted from deferred tax, while all the subsidiaries of XXTX suffered losses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, no income taxes were recorded for the corresponding period accordingly. Net loss from discontinued operations As a result of the foregoing, the net loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was $213,647. While the net loss from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 was $190,894 and $367,779, respectively. Liquidity and Going Concern We have financed our operations primarily through proceeds from our equity offerings, stockholder loans, commercial debt and cash flow from operations. We had cash and cash equivalents of $949,224 as of December 31, 2024 as compared to $737,719 as of March 31, 2024. We primarily hold our excess unrestricted cash in short-term interest-bearing bank accounts at financial institutions. 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) the net loss of approximately $1.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024; (2) accumulated deficit of approximately $43.3 million as of December 31, 2024; (3) the working capital deficit of approximately $3.4 million as of December 31, 2024; and (4) a purchase commitment of approximately $0.9 million for 100 automobiles. As of the filing date of this Report, we have entered into a purchase contract with an automobile dealer to purchase a total of 100 automobiles in the amount of approximately $1.5 million, of which, approximately $0.6 million has been remitted as purchase prepayments. The remaining purchase commitment of approximately $0.9 million shall be remitted in installment to be completed before March 31, 2025. 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: ● 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. 47 Based on the above considerations, we are of the opinion that we will probably not have sufficient funds to meet our working capital requirements and debt obligations as they become due one year from the filing date of this Report, if we are unable to obtain additional financing. In addition, there is no assurance that we will be successful in implementing the foregoing plans or that additional capitals 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) changes in the demand for our services, (ii) PRC government policies, (iii) economic conditions in China and worldwide, (iv) competitive pricing in the automobile transaction and related service and ride-hailing industries, (v) changes in our relationships with key business partners, (vi) that financial institutions in China may not able to provide continued financial support to our customers, and (vii) 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.

Critical Accounting Estimates Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We have identified certain accounting estimates that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These estimates are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting estimates involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements. 49 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 the critical accounting estimates as follows. When reading our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, you should consider our selection of critical accounting policies, the judgment and other uncertainties affecting the application of such policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions. Our critical accounting policies and practices include the following: (i) fair values of financial instruments, including derivative liabilities; (ii) accounts receivable, net; (iii) property and equipment, net; (iv) intangible assets, net; (v) revenue recognition; and (vi) leases - lessee. See Note 3—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements in our 2024 Form 10-K for the disclosure of these accounting policies. We believe the following accounting estimates involve the most significant judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements. (a) 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 by using Black-Scholes model. The changes in the values of these instruments are shown in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as “change in fair value of derivative liabilities”. (b) Allowance for credit losses In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which requires us to measure and recognize expected credit losses for financial assets held and not accounted for at fair value through net income. We adopted this guidance effective April 1, 2023. ASC 326 introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate the allowance for credit losses, which replaces the previous incurred loss impairment model. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original invoiced amount less an estimated allowance for credit losses. We estimate the allowance for credit losses based on an analysis of the aging of accounts receivable, assessment of collectability, including any known or anticipated economic conditions, customer-specific circumstances, recent payment history and other relevant factors. The balance of other receivables is unsecured and is reviewed periodically to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. We consider the balances to be impaired if the collectability of the balances becomes doubtful. We use the individual specific valuation method to estimate the allowance for uncollectible balances. The allowance is also based on management’s best estimate of specific losses on individual exposures, as well as a provision on historical trends of collections and utilizations. Actual amounts received or utilized may differ from management’s estimate of credit worthiness and the economic environment. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses represented approximately 3.7% and 7.2% of gross accounts receivable balances, respectively. The provision is recorded against accounts receivable balances, with a corresponding charge recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Delinquent account balances are written-off against the allowance for credit losses after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. Allowance for credit losses balances amounted to $1,529 and $1,545 as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively for accounts receivable. Allowance for credit losses balances amounted to $20,252 and $20,474 as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively for deposits and other receivables. Allowance for credit losses balances amounted to $3,778,815 and $3,099,701 as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively, for amount due from a related party. 50 (c) Leases - Lessee 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. The 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, we recognize the finance leases ROU assets and interest on an amortized cost basis. The amortization of finance ROU assets is recognized on a straight-line 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. 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, indicating 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. (d) Impairment of long-lived assets Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. We assess the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment is identified, we would reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we did not recognize impairment for property and equipment and intangible assets. (e) Valuation of deferred tax assets 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 realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. 51 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. Not applicable. 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, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial 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 are lacking adequate policies and procedures in internal audit function to ensure that our policies and procedures have been carried out as planned; and ● We had deficiencies in our IT general controls, regarding to the Logical Access Security, Change Management, IT Operations and Cybersecurity of our financial system and key application system, etc. We are improving our IT environment and daily management to ensure network and information security. In addition, we plan to address the weaknesses identified above by implementing the following measures: (i) Continuously seeking and hiring additional accounting staff with comprehensive knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements; (ii) Ameliorating our internal audit to assist with assessment of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requirements and improvement of internal controls related to financial reporting; and (iii) improving our IT environment and daily management. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 52 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
