NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. Significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Going Concern and Management’s Plan
The accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As of April 30, 2024,
the Company had an accumulated deficit of $
The Company plans to establish provincial regional sales centers in key cities and regions across the PRC, particularly in the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta areas to geographically expand the market and adopt centralized procurement system to reduce overhead cost and obtain volume discount. The Company also intends to cooperate with more manufacturers of NEVs, introduce more quality services and strengthen its publicity to attract more franchisees. Additionally, the Company intends to raise additional capital to provide additional funds to meet current and future liquidity needs. Management believes that it will be able to obtain the necessary financing and fund future expansion plans; however, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain or grow its operations.
These conditions 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 effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions. In particular, the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and the resulting adverse impacts to global economic conditions, as well as our operations, may impact future estimates including, but not limited to, our allowance for loan losses, inventory valuations, fair value measurements, asset impairment charges and discount rate assumptions. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. Amounts and percentages may not total due to rounding.
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of the Company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates which is Chinese Yuan (“RMB”).
Transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting periods. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and on translation of monetary items at period-end are included in income statement of the period.
For the purpose of presenting these financial statements, the Company’s assets and liabilities are expressed in US$ at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholder’s equity accounts are translated at historical rates, and income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholder’s equity section of the balance sheets.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosures requirements for fair value measures. Current assets and current liabilities qualified as financial instruments and management believes their carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and if applicable, their current interest rate is equivalent to interest rates currently available. The three levels are defined as follow:
| ● | 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. |
As of the balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates the hierarchy disclosures each year.
Related parties
The Company adopted ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Cash and Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists primarily of amounts preserved under a legal hold due to a complaint by a customer from an on-going litigation or amounts preserved for other purposes as required. Based on experience, they should be resolved within one calendar year or have a final conclusion. Conditions for lifting restrictions include withdrawal of the lawsuit by the customer, mutual settlement, or a final court judgment that has been fully executed.

Jiuzi Holdings, Inc.
Notes to the Financial Statements
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the net value less estimates for expected credit losses. Management regularly reviews outstanding accounts and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts. When collection of an original invoice amount is no longer probable, the Company will either partially or fully write-off the balance against the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Short-term investments
Short-term investments consist primarily of investments
in fixed deposits with original maturities between three months and one year and certain investments in wealth management products and
other investments that the Company has the intention to redeem within one year. As of April 30, 2024 and October 31, 2023, bank deposits
that were recorded as short-term investments amounted to $
Loans Receivable
Loans receivable are recorded at origination at the fair value less estimates for expected credit losses. Management regularly reviews outstanding accounts and provides an allowance for credit losses. When collection of the original amounts is no longer probable, the Company will either partially or fully write-off the balance against the allowance for credit losses.
Revenue Recognition
In 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition (“ASC 606”), with final amendments issued in 2016. The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.

Jiuzi Holdings, Inc.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The Company’s revenues consist of sales of vehicles to third party customers by its retail store, sales of vehicles to franchisees, fees from retail stores operated by franchisees, and subleases of vehicles to third party customers. Revenues from franchised stores include initial franchise fees and annual royalties based on a percent of net income.
The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of vehicles at the point in time when the Company has transferred physical possession of the vehicle to the customer and the customer has accepted the vehicle, therefore, indicating control has been transferred to the customer. The transaction price is determined and allocated to the product prior to the transfer of the vehicle to the customer.
The franchise services include a series of performance obligations and an indefinite license to use the Company’s trademark. The series of performance obligations are specific services and deliverables that are set forth in the agreement and are billed and receivable as delivered and accepted by the franchisee. These services and deliverables may be customized and are not transferable to other third parties.
Royalty revenues are distinct from the initial franchise services. The Company recognizes royalty revenues only when the franchisee has generated positive annual net income, at which point the Company has the contractual right to request for payment of the royalty. The royalty is calculated as a percentage of the franchisees’ annual net income.
The Company subleases vehicles to third parties and recognizes revenues over time which is ratably on a monthly basis over the term of the lease agreement.
The Company estimates potential returns and records such estimates against its gross revenue to arrive at its reported net sales revenue. The Company has not experienced any sales returns.
Inventory
Inventories, which are primarily comprised of merchandise for sale, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in first-out method. The Company evaluates the need for reserves associated with obsolete, slow-moving and non-salable inventory by reviewing net realizable values on a periodic basis. Only products with defects can be return to our suppliers.
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred
and includes it in selling expenses. The Company recorded and $

Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided in accordance with ASC No. 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the years of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. The determination is based on the technical merits of the position and presumes that the relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information will examine each uncertain tax position. Although the Company believes the estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of these matters will not be different than what is reflected in the historical income tax provisions and accruals.
Loss per share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to the holders of ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to the holders of ordinary shares as adjusted for the effect of dilutive ordinary share equivalents, if any, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive ordinary share equivalents outstanding during the period. However, ordinary share equivalents are not included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive, such as in a period in which a net loss is recorded.
All per share amounts for all periods presented herein have been adjusted to reflect the Share Subdivision and 2 for 1 stock dividend on a post-Share Subdivision basis. See Note 17.
Property and Equipment & Depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at historical
cost net of accumulated depreciation. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Intangible Assets & Amortization
Intangible assets are stated at historical cost net of accumulated amortization. Software is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software which is years.
Impairment of Long-Lived assets
The Company accounts for impairment of property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets in accordance with ASC 360, “Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of”, which requires the Company to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability when there is event or circumstance that indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable (when carrying amount exceeds the gross, undiscounted cash flows from use and disposition) and is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the asset’s (or asset group’s) fair value.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires incremental reportable segment disclosures, primarily about significant segment expenses. The amendments also require entities with a single reportable segment to provide all disclosures required by these amendments, and all existing segment disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods after December 15, 2024. The Company will adopt this guidance for the year ended October 31, 2024. This guidance is expected to only impact the disclosures with no impact on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The guidance includes improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid.

NOTE 6 – LOANS RECEIVABLE FRANCHISEES
Loans receivable include amounts due from related franchisees and are presented net of imputed interest and an allowance for estimated loan losses. The loans are provided in the form of credit line to related franchisee to support their operations. These loans are unsecured with a due date of 18 months upon initial drawing.
Management has determined that the 18-month borrowing rate most appropriately captures the financing cost for these loans. Given that the loans are in the form of credit lines to the franchisees that may have varying balances over time, as a practical expedient, management has elected to expense the interest as a cost of revenue at inception rather than amortize the expense over time.
The amounts
charged were $, and $
The allowance for loan losses represents an estimated amount of net losses inherent in our portfolio of managed receivables as of the applicable reporting date and expected to become evident during the following 12 months.
Each lending request is evaluated by considering the borrower’s financial condition. The Company uses a proprietary model to assign each franchisee a risk rating. This model uses historical franchisee performance data to identify key factors about a franchisee that are considered most significant in predicting a franchisee’s ability to meet its financial obligations. The Company also considers numerous other financial and qualitative factors of the franchisee’s operations, including capitalization and leverage, liquidity and cash flow, profitability, and credit history with the Company and other creditors.

Jiuzi Holdings, Inc.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The Company also consider recent trends in delinquencies and defaults, recovery rates, age of the loans. and the economic environment in assessing the models used in estimating the allowance for loan losses, and may adjust the allowance for loan losses to reflect factors that may not be captured in the models. In addition, the Company periodically consider whether the use of additional metrics would result in improved model performance and revise the models when appropriate. The provision for loan losses is the periodic expense of maintaining an adequate allowance.
An account is considered delinquent when the related franchisee fails to make a substantial portion of a scheduled payment three months after the due date. For purposes of determining impairment, loans are evaluated collectively, as they represent a large group of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, and therefore, are not individually evaluated for impairment.
As these loans are non-interest bearing, the Company
recorded a discount to the face amount using an imputed interest rate of

Credit Quality
The Company extends credit to franchisees primarily in the form of lines of credit to purchase vehicles and support their daily operations. Each of the franchisees are assigned to one of four groups according to the risk ratings with Group I demonstrating the best credit history with the Company and Group IV demonstrating the weakest.
| ● | Group I – strong to superior credit rating; | |
| ● | Group II – fair to favorable credit rating; | |
| ● | Group III – marginal to weak credit rating; and | |
| ● | Group IV – poor credit rating, including franchisees classified as uncollectible. |
Generally, the Company suspends credit lines and does not extend further funding to franchisee who are unable to repay the balance within three months after the 18-month deadline.
The credit quality of the loans receivables is evaluated based on the Company’s adjusted aging schedule. The Company regularly reviews the model to confirm the continued business significance and statistical predictability of the model and may make updates to improve the performance of the model.

The Company did not and does not control the franchisees, exert significant influence over the franchisees, have the power to direct the use of the franchisee’s assets and the fulfillment of their obligations, appoint or dismiss directors, authorized representatives, or executive officers of the franchisees.

The Company did not contribute any permanent equity capital in these franchisees and if these franchisees were to incur substantial losses and accumulate significant liabilities, the Company is not obligated to absorb such losses on behalf of the franchisees. Accordingly, the management has determined that the financial positions and results of operations of these franchisees should not be included as part of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 19 – CONCENTRATIONS, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Credit risk
Cash deposits are held in financial institutions in the PRC, which deposits are not insured. Accordingly, the Company has a concentration of credit risk related to the uninsured part of bank deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk.
Concentrations
The Company has a concentration risk related to suppliers and customers. Failure to maintain existing relationships with the suppliers or customers to establish new relationships in the future could negatively affect the Company’s ability to obtain goods sold to customers in a price advantage and timely manner. If the Company is unable to obtain ample supply of goods from existing suppliers or alternative sources of supply, the Company may be unable to satisfy the orders from its customers, which could materially and adversely affect revenues.
