To: The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Lixiang Education Holding Co., Ltd.
Opinionon the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Beijing Pengxiang Tianxia Education Technology Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(RMB, except share data and per share data, or otherwise noted)
| 1. | Organization and Principal Activities |
|---|---|
| (a) | Principal activities |
| --- | --- |
Beijing Pengxiang Tianxia Education Technology Co., Ltd. (the “Company”, “Beijing P.X.”) was incorporated on December 23, 2021 under the law of People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The Company, through its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) is primarily engaged in providing vocational education service and comprehensive human resource service.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s subsidiaries were as follows:
| Name of subsidiaries | Date of establishment | Place ofincorporation | Percentage ofdirect or indirecteconomicownership | Principal activities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Langfang City Rail Transit Technical School (“Langfang School”) | Established<br> <br>on May 26, 2015 | PRC | 100% | Operation of<br>vocational education |
| Beijing Chuangmei Weiye Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. (“Chuangmei Weiye”) | Established<br> <br>on<br>January 5, 2012 | PRC | 100% | Providing comprehensive human resources service |
| Hainan Jiangcai Vocational Skills Training School Co. Ltd. (“Hainan Jiangcai”) | Established<br> <br>on April 27, 2021 | PRC | 100% | Operation of<br>vocational education |
| (b) | Group history | |||
| --- | --- |
A reorganization of the Company’s legal structure (“Reorganization”) was completed involved the following major events:
| (1) | On December 1, 2021, Beijing P.X. entered into the equity transfer agreement to acquire 100% equity<br>interest of Chuangmei Weiye from Beijing Shangkun Education Technology Development Co., LTD (“Beijing S.K.”) at the consideration of nil. |
|---|---|
| (2) | Beijing P.X acquired 100% sponsor interest of Langfang School through the appointment of directors of Langfang<br>School. As of the report issued date, the administrative procedures with the PRC governmental authorities to amend the registration reflecting the result of the acquisition have not been completed due to the effects of<br>COVID-19 pandemic. |
| --- | --- |
| (3) | On April 27, 2021, Hainan Jiangcai was incorporated by Hainan Shangkun Education and Culture Group Co. LTD<br>(“Hainan Shangkun”) as its wholly owned subsidiary. On December 24, 2021, Beijing P.X. entered into the equity transfer agreement to acquire 100% equity interest of Hainan Jiangcai from Hainan Shangkun at the consideration of nil.<br> |
| --- | --- |
Upon the completion of the above Reorganization, the Company became the ultimate holding company of the Group. The Company was effectively controlled by Mr Pan Heyong before and after the Reorganization and therefore the Reorganization was considered as a recapitalization of these entities under common control. The consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
On April 18, 2022, Zhejiang Lishui Mengxiang Education Development Company Limited (“Lishui Mengxiang”) entered into the investment supplemental agreement with Beijing S.K. Pursuant to the supplemental, Lishui Mengxiang acquired 100% equity interest of Beijing P.X. with wholly owned subsidiary Chuangmei Weiye and Hainan Jiangcai, along with 100% sponsor interest of Langfang School, from Beijing S.K. with the consideration of RMB53,400,000 (See Note 14).

| 2. | Principal Accounting Policies |
|---|---|
| (a) | Basis of preparation |
| --- | --- |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
Significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized further below.
| (b) | Use of estimates |
|---|
The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The Company believes that the allowance for doubtful receivables, deferred tax assets and valuation allowance reflect more significant estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Management makes the estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions as discussed elsewhere in the consolidated financial statements that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making estimates about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
| (c) | Consolidation |
|---|
The Group’s consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting powers; 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.
| (d) | Convenience translation |
|---|
The unaudited United States dollar (“US$”) amounts disclosed in the accompanying financial statements are presented solely for the convenience of the readers. Translations of amounts from RMB into US$ for the convenience of the reader were calculated at the rate of US$1 = RMB 6.3726 on December 31, 2021, representing the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of RMB as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Board. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at that rate on December 31, 2021, or at any other rate.
F-8
| 2. | Principal Accounting Policies (Continued) |
|---|---|
| (e) | Fair value of financial instruments |
| --- | --- |
Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
The established fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value include:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable, market-based inputs, other than quoted prices, in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Accounting guidance also describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.
The Group does not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.
The Group’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepayments and other current assets, short-term borrowings, long-term borrowings, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other liabilities.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, prepayments and other current assets, accounts payable, short-term borrowings, accrued liabilities and other liabilities approximated their fair values reported in the consolidated balance sheets due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying amounts of long-term borrowings approximate their fair values as their interest rates are at the same level of current market yield for comparable loans.
| (f) | Cash |
|---|
Cash include cash in bank placed with commercial banks.
| (g) | Accounts receivables, net |
|---|
Accounts receivables are stated at the historical carrying amount net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Group reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual accounts receivable balances, the Group considers several factors, including the age of the balance, the customer’s payment history, and current credit worthiness, and current economic trends.
F-9
| 2. | Principal Accounting Policies (Continued) |
|---|---|
| (h) | Property and equipment, net |
| --- | --- |
Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment income, if any. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
| Category | Estimated useful lives | Residual value |
|---|---|---|
| Electronic devices and other general equipment | 3-5 years | 0%, 5% |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The gain or income on the disposal of property and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income.
| (i) | Revenue recognition |
|---|
The Group adopted ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” for all periods presented. Consistent with the criteria of Topic 606, the Group follows five steps for its revenue recognition: (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 Group mainly provides vocational education service and comprehensive human resource service.
Vocational education service
| (1) | Tuition and accommodation income |
|---|
Langfang School and Hainan Jiangcai (collectively “Schools”) offer school vocational education. During their stay in schools, the students are offered accommodation services. Tuition income and accommodation income are generally received in advance prior to the beginning of each semester of a school year, and are initially recorded as deferred revenue. Tuition income and accommodation income are recognized overtime during the service period of each semester. Amounts that will be earned within one year are reflected as a current liability, and those which will be earned beyond one year are reflected as a non-current liability. The balance for non-current deferred revenue were nil and nil as of December 31, 2020 and 2021.
The Group recognizes service income on a gross basis, as the Group is responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide vocational education services to students.
Financing component included in tuition fees
Some contracts contain a financing component because payment by the customer occurs significantly before the performance of the obligation. The Group takes the practical expedient and will not adjust the impact of a financing component for deferred revenue which will be earned within one year. The Group does not adjust the impact of a financing component for deferred revenue which will be earned beyond one year as the portion of the financing component is immaterial.
| (2) | Sale of uniforms and learning materials |
|---|
Schools sell uniforms and learning materials to students, such as books related to the courses provided. The payments for learning materials and uniforms are collected at the beginning of each semester. Revenue from uniforms and learning materials is recognized at a point in time when control of the uniforms and learning materials has been transferred and accepted by the students.
The Group recognizes revenue from the sale of uniforms and learning materials on a gross basis, as the Group controls the goods before they are transferred to the students. The Group is responsible for the design of uniforms and has inventory risk for the uniforms and learning materials.
F-10
| 2. | Principal Accounting Policies (Continued) |
|---|
Comprehensive human resource service
| (1). | Comprehensive service for flexible employment |
|---|
Chuangmei Weiye generates its revenue from providing comprehensive service for flexible employment, which primarily focuses on recommending interns from Schools to customers with human resources demand in 2020 and 2021. To fulfill the requirements of various customers, the Group arranges interns in Schools to satisfy customers’ human resources demands. The Group concludes that there is a single performance obligation to fulfill service requirements from customers. The Group charges service fees to customers based on service periods at a fixed rate per day, and recognizes revenue at a point of time or overtime whenever the service requirement is satisfied.
Principal versus agent considerations
The Group evaluates whether it is appropriate to record the revenue on a gross or net basis based on whether it acts as a principal or as an agent.
The Group concludes it controls the service provided by interns to customers as (i) the Group is primarily responsible for the fulfillment of the services and assures the customers are satisfied with services; (ii) the Group needs to maintain sufficient interns in order to satisfy the service requirement from customers on an if-needed basis; (iii) the Group can direct interns to provide service to customers on its behalf, and there is no direct cooperation relationship between interns and customers, and (iv) the Group has the ultimate discretion to set up the price of the service with customers. Therefore, the Group acts as a principal, and recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for the specified service transferred.
| (2). | Compensation payment service |
|---|
Chuangmei Weiye also generates its revenue from providing compensation payment service, under which the Group helps the customers to pay the freelancers for services they provided, and collect personal income tax from flexible workers on behalf of tax bureau. The Group charges a fixed percentage of total service payment to customers as commission, and recognizes revenue at a point of time when the Group completes the compensation payment service.
Principal versus agent considerations
The Group evaluates whether it is appropriate to record the revenue on a gross or net basis based on whether it acts as a principal or as an agent.
The Group concludes it does not control the service provided by freelancers to customers as (i) the Group is not responsible for the fulfillment and quality of the services provided by freelancers; (ii) the Group provides the compensation payment service but customers are responsible for the timely payment for freelancers; (iii) service fee paid to freelancers is determined by customers negotiating with freelancers, and the Group does not own the ultimate discretion. Therefore, the Group acts as an agent, and recognizes revenue in net amount of consideration that the Group retains after paying freelancers the consideration received in exchange for the service to be provided by them.
| (j) | Leases |
|---|
Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Rental expense is recognized from the date, which includes rent holidays, of initial possession of the leased property on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease renewal periods are considered on a lease-by-lease basis and are generally not included in the initial lease terms.

| (k) | Cost of revenues |
| --- | --- |
Cost of revenues consists of expenditures incurred in the generation of the Group’s revenue, including but not limited to the salary and welfare for teachers, uniform and learning materials cost, campus rental cost and other utilities charges in schools, and salary and welfare for interns.
| (l) | General and administrative expenses |
|---|
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salary and welfare for general and administrative personnel, general office expenses and depreciation expense.
| (m) | Selling expenses |
|---|
Selling expenses consist primarily of advertising expenses, channel expenses including student referral and customer referral expenses, and other miscellaneous expenses.
| (n) | Government subsidies |
|---|
Government subsidies primarily consist of financial subsidies received from local governments for operating a business in their jurisdictions and compliance with specific policies promoted by the local governments. There are no defined rules and regulations to govern the criteria necessary for companies to receive such benefits, and the amount of financial subsidy is determined at the discretion of the relevant government authorities. The government subsidies with no further conditions to be met are recorded as “Other income, net” when received. The government subsidies with certain operating conditions are recorded as liabilities when received and will be recorded as operating income when the conditions are met. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, the Group received financial subsidies of RMB1,347,800 and RMB1,553,600 from the local PRC government authorities, respectively.
| (o) | Employee social security and welfare benefits |
|---|
Employees of the Group in the PRC are entitled to staff welfare benefits including pension, work-related injury benefits, maternity insurance, medical insurance, unemployment benefit and housing fund plans through a PRC government-mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan. The Group is required to contribute to the plan based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government.
The PRC government is responsible for the medical benefits and the pension liability to be paid to these employees and the Group’s obligations are limited to the amounts contributed and no legal obligation beyond the contributions made.
| (p) | Income taxes |
|---|
Current income taxes are provided on the basis of net income for financial reporting purposes, adjusted for income and expense items that are not assessable or deductible for income tax purposes, in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdictions.
Deferred income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The tax base of an asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income in the period of change. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the balance of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Uncertain tax positions
The guidance on accounting for uncertainties in income taxes prescribes a more likely than not threshold for financial statements recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Guidance was also provided on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Group’s uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The Group did not recognize any significant interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021. As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the Group did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.
| (q) | Statutory reserves |
|---|
As stipulated by the relevant PRC laws and regulations applicable to the Group’s entities in the PRC, the Group is required to make appropriations from net income as determined in accordance with the PRC GAAP to non-distributable reserves, which include a statutory surplus reserve and a statutory welfare reserve. The PRC laws and regulations require that annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax income should be set aside prior to payments of dividends as reserve fund, the appropriations to statutory surplus reserve are required until the balance reaches 50% of the PRC entity registered capital. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, the Group made apportions of nil and nil to the statutory reserve, respectively.
In the private school sector, the Implementing Regulations for the Law of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on the Promotion of Privately run School require that annual appropriations of 25% of after-tax income should be set aside prior to payments of dividend as development fund. Under the Implementation Rules for the Law for Promoting Private Education of the PRC for Private Education Laws, or the 2021 Implementation Rules, which took effect on September 1, 2021, annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax income should be set aside prior to payments of dividend as development fund. The statutory reserve is applied against prior year income, if any, and may be used for general business expansion and production or increase in registered capital of the entities. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, the Group made apportions of nil and RMB745,117 to the development fund, respectively.
| (r) | Related parties |

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or significant influence, such as a family member or relative, shareholder, or a related corporation.

| (u) | Segment reporting |
| --- | --- |
The Group has organized its operations into two operating segments. The segments reflect the way the Group evaluates its business performance and manages its operations by the Group’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for making decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance. The Group’s CODM has been identified as the chief executive officer, who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group.
The Group has determined that it operates in two operating segments: (1) vocational education service segment, and (2) comprehensive human resources service segment. The Group’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different services. They are managed separately because each business requires different operating strategies.
As the Group’s long-lived assets are substantially all located in the PRC and all of the Company’s revenue and expense are derived from within the PRC, no geographical segments are presented.
| (v) | Recently issued accounting pronouncements |
|---|
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months on the balance sheets. Under the new guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The Group will be required to recognize and measure leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented using a modified retrospective approach, with certain practical expedients available. For the Group, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 from January 1, 2022. Upon the adoption of this ASU, operating lease right of use assets and lease liabilities were RMB9,939,387 and RMB9,609,387, respectively.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The amortized cost basis of financial assets should be reduced by expected credit losses to present the net carrying value in the financial statements at the amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on past events, historical experience, current conditions and forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets. Additionally, credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with an expected credit loss model, which will mainly have an impact on credit losses in connection with loans recognized as a result of payments under the guarantee liabilities and guarantee liabilities. In 2019, the FASB subsequently issued ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, and ASU 2019-11, respectively, which contained updates to ASU 2016-13. The Group is qualified as Emerging Growth Company, so the Group elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards and will not adopt this new guidance until 2023.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU provides an exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. This update also (1) requires an entity to recognize a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax, (2) requires an entity to evaluate when a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which goodwill was originally recognized for accounting purposes and when it should be considered a separate transaction, and (3) requires that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of the PRC enacted an Enterprise Income Tax Law (“EIT Law”), under which Foreign Investment Enterprises (“FIEs”) and domestic companies would be subject to EIT at a uniform rate of 25%. The EIT law became effective on January 1, 2008.
In accordance with Article 26 of the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China, Article 84 of the Regulations on the Implementation of the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China and Article 14 of Guofa 2016 No. 81 released by the State Council, non-profit private schools are eligible to enjoy the same preferential tax treatment as public schools. As a result, Langfang School has been granted corporate income tax exemption for the tuition and accommodation services, etc. from relevant local tax authorities.
According to Taxation [2019] No. 13 which was effective from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021, an enterprise is recognized as a small-scale and low-profit enterprise when its taxable income is less than RMB3 million. A small-scale and low-profit enterprise receives a tax preference including a preferential tax rate of 5% on its taxable income below RMB1 million and another preferential tax rate of 10% on its taxable income between RMB1 million and RMB3 million in 2020. A small-scale and low-profit enterprise receives a tax preference including a preferential tax rate of 2.5% on its taxable income below RMB1 million and another preferential tax rate of 10% on its taxable income between RMB1 million and RMB3 million in 2021. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, Changmei Weiye was qualified as small-scale and low profit enterprise.

| 1. | Basis of Pro Forma Presentation |
|---|
The pro forma combined financial statements are based on the respective historical consolidated financial statements of LXEH and Beijing P.X., and have been prepared to reflect the Acquisition. The pro forma financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect the actual results of operations of LXEH had the Acquisition occurred at the dates indicated or project the results of operations of LXEH for any future date or period.
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 assumes that the pro forma events occurred on December 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had consummated as of January 1, 2021. Pro forma adjustments reflected in the pro forma financial statements are based on available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable and supportable, and do not reflect the cost of any integration activities or benefits from the Acquisition including potential synergies that may be derived in future periods. The pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the assumptions and adjustments described below.
The pro forma financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations, with LXEH being the legal and accounting acquirer of Beijing P.X. Under the acquisition method, the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on valuation which involves judgement. Accordingly, the transaction accounting pro forma adjustments have been recorded based on preliminary estimates of fair value, which have been solely for the purpose of preparing these pro forma financial statements. Actual fair value may vary from these preliminary estimates and the differences could have a material impact on the accompanying pro forma financial statements and LXEH’s future results of operations and financial position. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the final allocation of the purchase price will not differ from the preliminary allocation reflected in the pro forma financial statements.
The pro forma adjustments are based upon the best available information and certain assumptions that LXEH believes to be reasonable. The accounting policies used to compute the pro forma adjustments include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Acquisition in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and incorporate the significant accounting policies expected to be used to prepare the Company’s future consolidated financial statements.
There are no material transactions undertaken by LXEH and Beijing P.X. during the periods presented in the pro forma financial statements that would need to be eliminated.
Certain reclassifications have been made to LXEH’s and Beijing P.X.’s respective historical financial statements in preparation of the pro forma financial statements to conform to the financial statement presentation expected to be adopted post-closing of the Acquisition as described in the notes below.
| 2. | Preliminary purchase price allocation |
|---|
The Acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Under this method, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded based on preliminary estimates of fair value. In the preliminary purchase price allocation, the difference between the purchase consideration and book value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed by LXEH was allocated based on management’s judgement and assumptions. The net identifiable assets acquired and preliminary purchase price allocation are as follows:
| Consideration | a | 53,400,000 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minus: | |||
| Identifiable assets | b | 17,171,413 | |
| Identifiable liabilities | c | 26,338,843 | |
| Net identifiable assets | d=b-c | (9,167,430 | ) |
| Goodwill | e=a-d | 62,567,430 | **** |

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet
The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 is as follows:
| (1) | Reflects the initial adjustment of Business Combination through (a) the deduction of prepayments and other<br>current assets of LXEH as of December 31, 2021of RMB53,400,000 as the consideration of Acquisition; (b) the elimination of historical accumulated deficit and other equity balances of Beijing P.X., the accounting acquiree in the Business<br>Combination; and (c) goodwill recognized in the business combination. |

| 4. | Earnings/(Loss) per Share |
|---|
Represents the net income/(loss) per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding. As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire periods presented.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared for the year ended December 31, 2021:
| For the Year Ended December 31,2021 | |||

| Pro forma net income from continuing operations | 1,608,904 | ||
