These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes.
● Basis of consolidated presentation
These condensed consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes, and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The Company’s financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EZAGOO LIMITED and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.
● Use of estimates
In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
● Foreign currencies translation and re-measurement
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at 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 at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.
The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying condensed financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary in People’s Republic of China maintains its books and record in its local currency, Chinese Yuan (“RMB”), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which the entity operates.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, 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 foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within the statements of stockholders’ deficit.
Translation of amounts from RMB into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:
| As of and for the nine months ended September 30, | ||||||||
| 2023 | 2022 | |||||||
| Period-end RMB: US$1 exchange rate | ||||||||
| Period-average RMB: US$1 exchange rate | ||||||||
| Period-end HK$: US$1 exchange rate | ||||||||
| Period-average HK$: US$1 exchange rate | ||||||||
● Cash and cash equivalents
The company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks that located in US, the Hong Kong and mainland China.
● Account receivables
Account receivables are stated at the customer obligations due under normal trade terms net of allowance for doubtful accounts.

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
● Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the property and equipment are as follows:
| Office equipment |
The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expenses as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
● Lease
The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842 Leases. The Company leases office space. The Company concludes on whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination as to whether an arrangement contains a lease is based on an assessment as to whether a contract conveys the right to the Company to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes these lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has assessed its contracts and concluded that its leases consist of only operating leases. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company determines an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
● Revenue recognition
The Company assesses and follows the guidance of ASC 606, revenue from contracts with customers is recognized using the following five steps:
| 1. | Identify the contract(s) with a customer; |
| a. | The parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally, or in accordance with other customary business practices) and are committed to perform their respective obligations. | ||
| b. | The entity can identify each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred. | ||
| c. | The entity can identify the payment terms for the services to be transferred. | ||
| d. | The contract has commercial substance (that is, the risk, timing, or amount of the entity’s future cash flows is expected to change as a result of the contract). | ||
| e. | It is probable that the entity will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the services that will be transferred to the customer. |
| 2. | Identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
| a. | According to the contract, the Company and Customer has to maintain the performance obligation, respectively. | ||
| b. | The customer shall pay for the services and goods after signing of the contract and provide appropriate advertisement materials, and the delivery address & contact information of the e-commerce order to the Company, the Company shall ensure the published advertisement and delivered goods of the Customer according to the contract terms. |
| 3. | Determine the transaction price; |
| a. | For the advertisement and e-commerce contract, the transaction price is explicitly stated in fixed amount in the contract. There is no variable consideration, such as discounts, rebates, consideration payable to customer or noncash consideration. There was no price concession, and the Company did not expect any price concession for the service performed during the periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. | ||
| b. | The contract does not contain any elements that would cause consideration under the arrangement to be variable (Examples include discounts, rebates, refunds, credits, incentives, tiered pricing, price guarantees, right of return, etc.). | ||
| c. | There are no factors that exist whereby it is not probable that a significant reversal or revenues will not occur in the contract. |
| F-7 |
EZAGOO LIMITED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
| 4. | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| a. | There were no multiple performance obligations to which the transaction price must be allocated, and each contract only has one performance obligation. The standalone selling price is explicated stated in the contract. |
| 5. | Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. |
| a. | Per ASC 606, an entity shall recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service (that is, an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset. | ||
| b. | Revenue is recognized when the advertising service is performed. According to the sample advertising and e-commerce contract, upon obtaining the signed contract and order from the Customer, the service and goods’ period would be started. Therefore, the revenue is recognized when the service and goods are completely provided and delivered at that point in time. |
Under Topic 606, revenues are recognized when the promised services and goods have been confirmed and transferred to the consumers in amounts that reflect the consideration the customer expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The Company presents value added taxes (“VAT”) as reductions of revenues. The Company recognizes revenues net of value added taxes (“VAT”) and relevant charges.
The Company’s revenue were mainly generated from providing advertising services on the bus, and Xindian application that developed the Company (“advertisement income”). We’re planned to expand our brand to attract more potential users and customers as we met the bottleneck when we transformed the traditional bus advertising to our Xindian platform since January 1, 2022 (as the Changsha government decided to merger and control all the local bus themselves that effected on December 28, 2021). However, due to the high-level market competitive (Tiktok, RED etc.), the effect of the Covid-19, and the unsatisfactory operating dates, the Company decided to shut down the operation of Xindian Application effective from April 2023.
During the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s revenue mainly from providing e-commerce trading of goods and products on ZCZX WeChat Application that is subscribed from Weimob (微盟集团, HK02013) (“trading income”), and providing e-commerce value-added service in LSM WeChat Application which is also subscribed from Weimob (微盟集团, HK02013) (“commission income”, that the Company only generated income till March 2023 now, as the Customer is updating they’re products line since April 2023 and they plan to launch their new products during the four quarter of 2023).
● Cost of revenues
Cost of revenue includes costs of goods sold and sales commissions expenses of e-commerce trading in ZCZX, the operating salaries for the staffs who running the ZCZX and LSM.
● Imputed Interest
The
Company owned director and related parties some loans which are unsecured, interest-free with no fixed payment term, for working capital
purpose. Imputed interests were $
● Value-added taxes
Revenue
is recognized net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). The VAT is based on gross sales price and VAT rates applicable to the Company
is
● Income taxes
The Company followed the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, or ASC 740. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recorded a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rate is recognized in tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date of the change in tax rate.
The Company accounted for uncertainties in income taxes in accordance with ASC 740. Interest and penalties related to unrecognizable tax benefit recognized in accordance with ASC 740 are classified in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss as income tax expense.
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per share”. Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Any potential common shares in 2023 and 2022 that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e. those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.
● Commitments and contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.

● Related party transaction
A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
● Recent accounting pronouncements
In March 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-03, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. Step two of the goodwill impairment test measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with its carrying amount. The new guidance is effective prospectively but not applicable for us for the period ending September 30, 2023. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance as of March 30, 2021. An entity should not retroactively adopt the amendments in this update for interim financial statements already issued in the year of adoption. We are evaluating the effects, if any, of the adoption of this guidance on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement. The new guidance modifies disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Implementation on a prospective or retrospective basis varies by specific disclosure requirement. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance.
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

The Company’s revenue were mainly generated from providing advertising services on the bus, and Xindian application that developed the Company (“advertisement income”). We’re planned to expand our brand to attract more potential users and customers as we met the bottleneck when we transformed the traditional bus advertising to our Xindian platform since January 1, 2022 (as the Changsha government decided to merger and control all the local bus themselves that effected on December 28, 2021). However, due to the high-level market competitive (Tiktok, RED etc.), the effect of the Covid-19, and the unsatisfactory operating dates, the Company decided to shut down the operation of Xindian Application effective from April 2023.

Additional Information
VIE STRUCTURE AND ARRANGEMENTS
Foreign ownership in companies providing media advertising services is subject to certain restrictions under PRC laws and regulations. To comply with the PRC laws and regulations, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Changsha Ezagoo Technology Limited (CETL), entered into a set of contractual arrangements with Beijing Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited (BEZL) and includes its branch company, named Changsha Branch of Beijing Ezagoo Industrial Development Group Holding Limited (BELCB), and its shareholders. The contractual arrangements between CETL, BEZL and shareholders of BEZL allow us to:
| 1. | exercise effective control over BEZL and BELCB whereby having the power to direct BEZL and BELCB’s activities that most significantly drive the economic results of BEZL and BELCB; |
| 2. | receive substantially all of the economic benefits and residual returns, and absorb substantially all the risks and expected losses from BEZL and BELCB as if it was their sole shareholder; and |
| 3. | have an exclusive option to purchase all of the equity interests in BEZL and BELCB. |
Our consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of our company, our subsidiaries and our consolidated VIE for which we are the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among our company, our subsidiaries and our consolidated VIE have been eliminated upon consolidation.
A subsidiary is an entity in which we, directly or indirectly, control more than one half of the voting powers; or has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors; or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of directors; or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.
A consolidated VIE is an entity in which we, or our subsidiaries, through contractual agreements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity. In determining whether we or our subsidiaries are the primary beneficiary, we considered whether it has the power to direct activities that are significant to the consolidated VIE’s economic performance, and also our obligation to absorb losses of the consolidated VIE that could potentially be significant to the consolidated VIE or the right to receive benefits from the consolidated VIE that could potentially be significant to the consolidated VIE. We hold all the variable interests of the consolidated VIE and its subsidiaries, and has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of the consolidated VIE.
In accordance with the contractual agreements among between CETL, BEZL, BELCB and shareholders of BEZL and BELCB allow us to:
| 1. | exercise effective control over BEZL and BELCB whereby having the power to direct BEZL and BELCB’s activities that most significantly drive the economic results of BEZL; |
| 2. | receive substantially all of the economic benefits and residual returns, and absorb substantially all the risks and expected losses from BEZL and BELCB as if it was their sole shareholder; |
| 3. | and have an exclusive option to purchase all of the equity interests in BEZL and BELCB. |
We believe that the contractual arrangements among CETL, BEZL, BELCB and the shareholders of BEZL are in compliance with PRC law and are legally enforceable. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit our ability to enforce these contractual arrangements and if the shareholders of our consolidated VIE were to reduce their interest in us, their interests may diverge from ours and that may potentially increase the risk that they would seek to act contrary to the contractual terms.
Our ability to control the consolidated VIE also depends on the voting rights proxy agreement and our company, through CETL, has to vote on all matters requiring shareholder approval in the consolidated VIE. As noted above, we believe this voting rights proxy agreement is legally enforceable but may not be as effective as direct equity ownership.
The Company’s mailing address is Rm 205, 2/F, Building 17, Yard 1, Li Ze Road, Feng Tai District, Beijing 100073, China.
