PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Business Overview

 

Ezagoo Limited, a Nevada corporation (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 9, 2018.

 

Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited (“HEZL”) is the company through which we operate, and which shares our business plan to provide video advertising on buses. Prior to December 31, 2016, Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited (HEZL) was initially a startup stage company engaged in e-commerce, offering electronics products for sale such as, but not limited to, mobile phones, tablets and related accessories. Due to continued losses from their e-commerce business activities, and high competition in the industry, HEZL discontinued all e-commerce business activities and sold off any remaining inventories relating to such e-commerce activities. Following December 31, 2016, the Company adopted its current business plan.

 

At present, the Company operates within the Chinese digital advertising network through advertisements displayed on flat-panel audiovisual television displays located on the vast network of urban bus lines in Changsha City. On February 10, 2018, HEZL entered into an agreement with Changsha Zhongwang Bus Co., Ltd. (“CZB”) wherein CZB will provide HEZL with Seven Hundred Forty-Two (742) buses to display media advertising within the interior of the buses. This agreement will be valid until February 9, 2021 and HEZL shall pay CZB a rental fee of 800 Chinese Yuan per bus, for a total of One Million Seven Hundred Eighty Thousand Eight Hundred (1,780,800) Chinese Yuan as well as a semi-annual rental fee of Two Hundred Ninety Six Thousand Eighty Hundred (296,800) Chinese Yuan.

 

Our TV audio visual advertising network. displayed on the rented buses, provides an opportunity for brands to break through the advertising clutter and effectively reach a large audience of bus passengers. On October 1, 2017 Hunan Ezagoo Limited Co., Ltd. entered into an agreement with HEZL, in which HEZL will lease 3,000 LED screens from Hunan Ezagoo Limited Co., Ltd. This agreement will terminate on September 30, 2020. Per the terms of the agreement there is a rent-free period between October 1, 2017 and July 31, 2018. Subsequent to the rent-free period HZT will pay Hunan Ezagoo Limited Co., Ltd. Six Hundred Fifty (650) Chinese Yuan per screen as an annual fee. The first rental payment was due on or before August 31, 2018, and rent will be paid semi-annually from that point forward. HEZL will install these LED displays in the buses rented from CZB, and it is through these LED screens that advertisements will be displayed.

 

Through our special media portal (digital TV Screen advertising), we help connect sellers with buyers and ultimately reach their ideal target audiences. We anticipate a growing need for our services in Mainland China because of our ability to provide access to a wide range of consumers at cost effective prices. In today’s complex corporate landscape there is an increasing need for enterprises, in all industries, to maximize their performance and profitability while keeping costs low. We believe that our competitive fees, will provide us with a competitive advantage over our competitors and lead to increased demand for our services.

The Company’s primary business activity is to display advertisements for its clients on TV screens mounted on public buses that operate in Changsha City. At present the advertisements were displayed solely on 22-inch audiovisual screens that are mounted behind the bus driver’s seat, with speakers placed throughout the buses so that all passengers on the bus are able to both watch and hear advertisements. This placement of screens and speakers will ensure that all passengers inside the bus are subjected to advertisements of our clients throughout the full duration of their bus journey.

 

1600 screens in 800 buses run 10 hours daily while buses are traveling within Changsha City. To date, there are three main kinds of bus advertising promotion, consisting of the following:

 

A majority of advertisements are displayed on bus TV screen which are broadcast repeatedly approximately 20 times per day in a 15-minute cycle.

 

Bus advertisements are highly visible and are displayed daily while the buses travel along the same routes daily, offering advertisers massive impact and high frequency to targeted audiences. With 10 hours of uninterrupted TV audiovisual display, quality ready-made video commercials advertisements maximize the exposure of bus audiences during their daily journeys. The TV screen promotion of brand, products and services can be undertaken using a wide range of bus TV channels in several different bus lines while offering a chance to directly reach bus passengers living in different areas throughout the city. Additionally, through the bus’s background system, the TV display flashes upcoming bus-stop information along with various ads on the TV screens. This ensures that passengers often look at the screen to grasp information about the next stop while they are exposed to the brand messages and advertisements of our clients. This grants advertisers the assurance it is highly likely that their message will be seen by the consumers.

 

Some bus advertisements allow brands to directly target desirable passengers travelling along a specific bus route.

 

Certain advertisements may be of more interest to, and thus be considered more effective, when directed to specific consumer groups. Furthermore, due to the nature of the bus advertisements we offer we can place advertisements along certain bus routes, for example on a bus travelling from a residential location to a commercial hub. This allows advertisers to display their message in front of viewers who are more likely to have an interest in their products or services. This is a highly targeted and cost-effective way for brand clients to reach their ideal consumer groups. It is the belief of the company that this could produce higher consumer recall rate of ads than when those same ads are displayed randomly.

 

Bus TV screens can also set a time slot and allow the advertising content to be updated remotely over a WIFI connection.

 

We have the ability to plan campaigns and focus on consumers at specific times of the day by scheduling a time segment during which specific advertisements will play. This can also be further customized by selecting certain bus lines on which to display client advertisements. If appropriate, we could coordinate advertising campaigns so that only one, or perhaps several, commercial brands are placed on TV screens of each bus or specific bus line. This would allow these clients to guarantee their advertisement will be seen in a certain timeslot and physical location, granting them an advantage over potential competitors. Advertisements scheduled to run during commuter traffic, for example, could generate far more leads than at other, less congested, times of day. Our bus TV display background system enables access to independently monitor and adjust performance, frequency and playback times of advertisements daily on each bus. These TV screens can display a fully customized range of content such as ads, videos, promotional content, news, sports, etc. for passengers. Additionally, this system enables us to upload new advertisements anywhere and anytime with 3G/ 4G or Wi-Fi connection.

Marketing Plan

 

We expect to increase our marketing efforts through our President’s personal networks and industry association channels which have not, at this point in time, been fully identified. Additionally, we intend to bolster our professional reputation and image by showcasing our knowledge and industry expertise via marketing campaigns through various forms of media. We have undefined plans to initially market our services through webinars, the creation of a wide variety of white papers, newsletters, books, and other information offerings. Furthermore, we plan to begin a social media campaign utilizing blogs, twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. A targeted campaign is intended to be made to focus on start-ups and small to mid-size companies in various industries.

 

Competition

 

We compete primarily with several different groups of competitors:

 

Advertising companies that operate public transport advertising companies, especially Bus line advertising networks, such as Bus Online Co. Ltd.

 

Out-of-home digital advertising networks beyond the Bus Line sector, such as Focus Media;

 

Other advertising media companies, such as Internet, street furniture displays, billboards, and with traditional advertising media, such as newspapers, television, magazines and radio, some of which may advertise on the Buses in which we have exclusive contract rights to operate digital TV screens.

 

The digital advertising industry our company operates in is extremely competitive and there are limited barriers to entry, thus new competitors frequently enter the market. We believe that existing and new competitors will continue to improve their services and introduce new services with competitive pricing and performance characteristics. In periods of reduced demand for our services, we can either choose to maintain market share by reducing our prices to attract new customers, or maintain prices, which would likely reduce market share. Sales and overall profitability could be reduced in either case.

 

Future Plans

 

It is our goal to optimize the efficiency of city services and connect to residents by creating the largest bus TV advertising network in China. We aim to be a promoter and participator of a ‘smart city’ concept. At present, we solely focus on Changsha city, but in the future, we plan to allocate funds to integrate advertisement, digital TV devices and new communication technology regionally. At the same time, we plan to create a commercial APP for both our bus advertising clients and bus passengers. We anticipate that our company will install more than 10 thousand screens and expand into 300 cities throughout Mainland China in the next three to five years. However, we do not have distinct and detailed expansion plans as of this point in time. In the future, a full range of local and international brand advertisements are intended to be displayed on our bus TV digital screens and broadcast throughout large-scale regional bus networks.

 

However, without an appropriate budget and intensive research, plans referring to development, expansion, potential unidentified acquisitions and concrete timescales cannot be determined at present.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2019, we have 42 employees comprised of our President Xiaohao Tan and Chief Financial Officer Xin Yang.

 

We do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing, or similar benefit plans at present. However, we may adopt plans in the future.

 

Government regulation

 

We are subject to the laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate, which may include business licensing requirements, income taxes and payroll taxes. In general, the development and operation of our business is not subject to special regulatory and/or supervisory requirements.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

You should carefully consider the risks described below and elsewhere in this Annual Report, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. Our business faces significant risks and the risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may materially affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition. If any of these risks occur, the trading price of our common stock could be decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to our Business

 

We rely entirely on the operations of Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited. Any successes or failures of Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited will directly impact our financial condition and may cause your investment to be either positively or negatively impacted.

 

At present, we share the same business plan as, and rely entirely upon, Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited. Any successes or failures of Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited will directly impact our financial condition and may cause your investment to be either positively or negatively impacted. Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited is considered a variable interest entity through which we operate exclusively at this time and we have been deemed to currently be a direct beneficiary of Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited. As such, in the event that the business of operations of Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited were to fail, then our own business would, in turn, fail as well. We would be forced to either drastically alter our business strategy, or we would likely cease operations entirely, which could result in the whole or partial loss of any investments made in the company.

Competition from both large, established industry participants and new market entrants may negatively affect our current and future results of operations.

 

We face vigorous competition from companies throughout the world and in China specifically, including large multinational advertising companies. Some established competitors have greater resources and better accessibility than us, therefore they are able to adapt quicker to changes in customer requirements and reach customers easier from all over the globe. If we are unable to continue to compete effectively, it could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

If we do not manage our growth effectively, the quality of our solution or our relationships with our customers may suffer, and our operating results may be negatively affected.

 

We rely heavily on information technology, or IT, systems to manage critical functions such as advertising campaign management and operations, data storage and retrieval, revenue recognition, budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting and other administrative functions. To manage our growth effectively, we must continue to improve and expand our infrastructure, including our IT, financial and administrative systems and controls. We must also continue to manage our employees, operations, finances, research and development and capital investments efficiently. Our productivity and the quality of our solution may be adversely affected if we do not integrate and train our new employees, particularly our sales and account management personnel, quickly and effectively and if we fail to appropriately coordinate across our executive, engineering, finance, human resources, legal, marketing, sales, operations and customer support teams. If we continue our rapid growth, we will incur additional expenses, and our growth may continue to place a strain on our resources, infrastructure and ability to maintain the quality of our solution. If we do not adapt to meet these evolving growth challenges, and if the current and future members of our management team do not effectively scale with our growth, the quality of our solution may suffer and our corporate culture may be harmed. Failure to manage our future growth effectively could cause our business to suffer, which, in turn, could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by global health epidemics, including the recent COVID-19 outbreak.

 

Outbreaks of epidemic, pandemic, or contagious diseases such as COVID-19, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The spread of COVID-19 from China to other countries has resulted in the World Health Organization declaring the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic. The slow-down in the global economy and the reduced levels of international and domestic travel experienced since the beginning of January would affect our business adversely. The Any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The extent to which the COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken globally to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. Existing insurance coverage may not provide protection for all costs that may arise from all such possible events. We are still assessing our business operations and the impact COVID-19 may have on our results and financial condition, but there can be no assurance that this analysis will enable us to avoid part or all of any impact from the spread of COVID-019 or its consequences, including downturns in business sentiment generally or in our sector in particular.

We may require additional capital to support growth, and such capital might not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. This could hamper our growth and adversely affect our business.

 

We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require additional funds, beyond those generated by this offering, to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new features or enhance our platform, improve our operating infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in public or private equity, equity-linked or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing that we secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, including the ability to pay dividends. This may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired, and our business could be adversely affected.

 

We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors because competition in our industry is intense, and our competitors may offer solutions that are perceived by our customers to be more attractive than ours. These factors could result in declining revenue, or inability to grow our business.

 

Competition for our advertisers’ advertising budgets is intense. We also expect competition to increase as the barriers to enter our market are low. Increased competition may force us to charge less for our solution, or offer pricing models that are less attractive to us and decrease our margins. Our principal competitors include companies that offer demand-side platforms that allow advertisers to purchase inventory directly from advertising exchanges or other third parties and manage their own consumer data, traditional advertising networks and advertising agencies themselves.

 

We also rely predominately on advertising agencies to purchase our solution on behalf of advertisers, and certain of those agencies or agency holding companies are creating competitive solutions, referred to as agency trading desks. If these agency trading desks are successful in leveraging their relationships with the advertisers we may be unable to compete even if our solution is more effective. Many agencies that we work with are also owned by large agency holding companies. For various reasons related to the agencies’ own priorities or those of their holding companies, they may not recommend our solution, even though it may be more effective, and we may not have the opportunity to demonstrate our value to advertisers.

 

Many current and potential competitors have competitive advantages relative to us, such as longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger client bases, greater access to advertising inventory on premium websites and significantly greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources. Increased competition may result in reduced pricing for our solution, longer sales cycles or a decrease of our market share, any of which could negatively affect our revenue and future operating results and our ability to grow our business.

 

We have been dependent on TV display advertising. A decrease in the use of display advertising, or our inability to further penetrate display, mobile, social and video advertising channels would harm our business, growth prospects, operating results and financial condition.

 

Historically, our customers have predominantly used our solution for TV display advertising, and the substantial majority of our revenue is derived from advertisers, that use our solution for TV display advertising. We expect that TV display advertising will continue to be a significant channel used by our customers. Recently, overall display advertising growth has been driven by mobile, social and video advertising. Should our customers lose confidence in the value or effectiveness of TV display advertising, the demand for our display solution could decline. In addition, our failure to achieve market acceptance of our solution for mobile, social and video advertising would harm our growth prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Our growth depends, in part, on the success of our strategic relationships with advertisers, including ready access to hardware in key bus line to facilitate the delivery of our solution and reliable management of Internet traffic.

 

We anticipate that we will continue to depend on various advertisers’ relationships in order to grow our business. We continue to pursue additional relationships with advertisers. Identifying, negotiating and documenting relationships with them requires significant time and resources as does integrating advertisers’ data and services. Our agreements with providers of technology, computer hardware, display facilities, content and consulting services and real-time advertising exchanges are typically non-exclusive, do not prohibit them from working with our competitors or from offering competing services and do not typically have minimum purchase commitments. Our competitors may be effective in providing incentives to third parties to favor their products or services over ours or to otherwise prevent or reduce purchases of our solution. In addition, these advertisers may not perform as expected under our agreements with them, and we may have disagreements or disputes with advertisers, which could negatively affect our brand and reputation.

 

In particular, our continued growth depends on our ability to source computer hardware, including servers built to our specifications, and the ability to locate those servers and related hardware in co-location facilities in the most desirable bus line and time slot to facilitate the timely delivery of our services. Disruptions in the services provided at co-location facilities that we rely upon can degrade the level of services that we can provide, which could harm our business. We also rely on our integration with many advertisers’ technology providers to execute our business on a daily basis. We must efficiently direct a large amount of network traffic and each bid typically must take place. We rely on TV screens to direct display to our solution for efficient processing. If our TV screens experiences disruptions or performance problems, this could result in inefficient balancing of traffic across our servers as well as impairing or preventing audiences’ connectivity to our TV advertisings, which could harm our business.

 

We have historically relied, and expect to continue to rely, on our existing customers for a significant portion of our revenue. The loss of any of existing customers could significantly harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We expect that we will continue to depend upon our existing customers for a significant portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future. As a result, if we fail to successfully attract or retain new or existing customers or if existing customers run fewer advertising campaigns with us, defer or cancel their insertion orders, or terminate their relationship with us altogether, whether through the actions of their agency representatives or otherwise, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be harmed.

 

Our sales and marketing efforts require significant investment, which may not yield returns in the foreseeable future, if at all.

 

We have invested significant resources in our research and development, sales and marketing teams to educate potential and prospective advertisers about the value of our solution. We often spend substantial time and resources explaining how our solution can optimize advertising campaigns in real time, and responding to requests for proposals from potential advertisers, including developing material specific to the needs of such potential advertisers. Our business depends in part upon advertisers’ confidence that represent those advertisers, that our use of real-time advertising exchanges to purchase inventory is superior to other methods of purchasing digital TV display advertising. We may not be successful in attracting new advertisers despite our investment in our business development, sales and marketing organizations.

 

If we do not effectively grow and train our sales team, we may be unable to add new customers or increase sales to our existing customers, and our business would be adversely affected.

 

We continue to be substantially dependent on our sales team to obtain new customers and to drive sales from our existing customers. We believe that there is significant competition for sales personnel with the skills and technical knowledge that we require. Our ability to achieve significant revenue growth will depend, in large part, on our success in recruiting, training, integrating and retaining sufficient numbers of sales personnel to support our growth. Our current sales team is primarily trained and experienced in selling to advertising agencies, which often control an advertiser’s budget. If more of our business shifts to direct relationships with brand advertisers, we may not have an adequately trained sales team to support that shift and to sell products effectively to those advertisers. New hires require significant training and it may take significant time before they achieve full productivity. Our recent hires and planned hires may not become productive as quickly as we expect, and we may be unable to hire or retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals in the markets where we do business or plan to do business. In addition, as we continue to grow rapidly, a large percentage of our sales team will be new to the company and our solution. If we are unable to hire and train sufficient numbers of effective sales personnel, or the sales personnel are not successful in obtaining new customers or increasing sales to our existing customer base, our business would be adversely affected.

Penny Stock Regulations

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our Common Stock, when and if a trading market develops, may fall within the definition of penny stock and be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000, or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 individually, or $300,000, together with their spouse).

 

For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s prior written consent to the transaction. Additionally, for any transaction, other than exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our Common Stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their Common Stock in the secondary market.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit the investors’ ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

Dividend Policy

 

Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends on shares of our Common Stock will be made at the discretion of our board of directors out of funds legally available for such purpose. We are under no contractual obligations or restrictions to declare or pay dividends on our shares of Common Stock. In addition, we currently have no plans to pay such dividends. Our board of directors currently intends to retain all earnings for use in the business for the future.

 

Equity Compensation Plan Information

 

Currently, there is no equity compensation plan in place.

 

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Registrant and Affiliated Purchasers

 

We have not repurchased any shares of our common stock during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Results of Operations

 

For the year ended December 31, 2019 compared with the year ended December 31, 2018

 

Revenue

 

The Company generated revenue of $200,380 for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to revenue of $68,553 for the year ended December 31, 2018. Related party revenue was $162,832 in 2019, whereas 2018 had 0 related party revenue. The revenue mainly represented the direct sales of bus advertising service to individuals and businesses. We expect revenue from our business services segment to increase as we continue to grow our business and expand into new territories.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 amounted to $847,069, including bad debt expense of $2,140, as compared to $953,561 for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of $106,492. The expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 were primarily consisted of payroll expense, rent expense, office expense, audit expense, and consulting expense. The decrease of $106,492 in general and administrative expense is due to decrease in meal and entertainment expense. We expect our general and administrative expense to increase as we expand our business.

 

Net Loss

 

The net loss for the year was $849,695 for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $1,017,506 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease of net loss mainly derived from the increase in revenue and decrease in general and administrative expenses.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2019, we had working capital deficit of $853,110 consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $1,106,420 as compared to working capital deficit of $454,248 consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $795,618 respectively as of December 31, 2018.

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $297,627 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,034,735 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The cash used in operating activities was mainly for cost of revenue, general and administrative expenses and receivables from customers. The significant decrease of operating activities cash outflow dues to the increase of revenue and receipts in advance.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $37,464 and $731, respectively. The net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 were mainly related to purchase of property, plant and equipment.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $650,204 as compared to $1,782,283 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 were mainly attributed from proceeds of IPO stock issuance.

 

The revenues, if any, generated from our current business operations alone may not be sufficient to fund our operations or planned growth. We will likely require additional capital to continue to operate our business, and to further expand our business. Sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements with third parties may include equity or debt financing, bank loans or revolving credit facilities. We may not be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. Our inability to raise additional funds when required may have a negative impact on our operations, business development and financial results.

Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Use of estimates

 

In preparing these 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.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts. 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.

 

The Company’s revenue mainly from providing advertising services (“service revenue”).

 

Cost of revenue

 

Cost of revenue includes bus media terminal rental fees, bus monitors maintenance fees, bus screen installation fees and internet data fees.

 

Income taxes

 

The provision of income taxes is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

 

 13 

 

 

The Company did not have any unrecognized tax positions or benefits and there was no effect on the financial conditions or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 and period ended December 31, 2018. The Company conducts major businesses in Mainland China and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authority.

 

Net loss per share

 

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

 

Foreign currencies translation

 

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$”) and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary in People’s Republic of China maintains its books and record in its local currency, Chinese Yuan (“CNY”), 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 within the statements of stockholders’ equity.

 

Translation of amounts from HK$ into US$1 and from RMB into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

 

   As of and for the
three months ended
December 31,
 
   2019   2018 
Period-end CNY: US$1 exchange rate   6.97    6.89 
Period-average CNY: US$1 exchange rate   7.01    6.63 
Period-end HK$: US$1 exchange rate   7.75    7.80 
Period-average HK$: US$1 exchange rate   7.75    7.80 

 

 14 

 

 

Related parties

 

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company 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. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

 

Fair value of financial instruments:

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amount due to a director approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
   
  Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
   
  Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

 

Lease

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases, which was subsequently amended in 2018 by ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11 and ASU 2018-20 (collectively, Topic 842). Topic 842 will require the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For operating leases, the asset and liability will be expensed over the lease term on a straight-line basis, with all cash flows included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability will be recognized separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income and the repayment of the principal portion of the lease liability will be classified as a financing activity while the interest component will be included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. Topic 842 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, leases will be recognized and measured at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Topic 842 allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period the new lease standard is adopted and will not require restatement of prior periods.

 

Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company accounted for leases under ASC 840, Accounting for Leases. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the guidance of ASC 842, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases. The Company adopted ASC 842 using a modified retrospective approach. As a result, the comparative financial information has not been updated and the required disclosures prior to the date of adoption have not been updated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets of $76,255, lease liabilities for operating leases of $85,039, and $5,629 adjustment to accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2019. See Note 14 for further information regarding the impact of the adoption of ASC 842 on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Risks and uncertainties

 

Substantially all the Company’s services are conducted in Changsha City, China. The Company’s operations are subject to adverse impact of the coronavirus outbreak. The lock-down of the whole China in February 2019 severely reduced our revenue generated from bus advertising business. The extent to which the COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken globally to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. Existing insurance coverage may not provide protection for all costs that may arise from all such possible events. We are still assessing our business operations and the impact COVID-19 may have on our results and financial condition, but there can be no assurance that this analysis will enable us to avoid part or all of any impact from the spread of COVID-019 or its consequences, including downturns in business sentiment generally or in our sector in particular.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “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 for us for the year ending March 31, 2021 and interim reporting periods during the year ending March 31, 2021. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We are evaluating the effects, if any, of the adoption of this guidance on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, 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, 2019. Implementation on a prospective or retrospective basis varies by specific disclosure requirement. Early adoption is permitted. The standard also allows for early adoption of any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU while delaying adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company suffered an accumulated deficit of $2,141,210 and net loss of $847,555. The continuation of the Company as a going concern through December 31, 2019 is dependent upon improving the profitability and the continuing financial support from its stockholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due.

 

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.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2019, we have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosures Control and Procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
     
  Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
     
  Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

 16 

 

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

 

As of December 31, 2019, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that, during the period covered by this Report, internal controls and procedures over financial reporting were not effective. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.

 

Identified Material Weaknesses

 

A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

 

Management identified the following material weaknesses during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019.

 

1. We do not have an Audit Committee – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company’s financial statement. Currently the Chief Executive Officer and Director act in the capacity of the Audit Committee and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities.
   
2. We do not have Written Policies & Procedures – Due to lack of written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting, the Company did not establish a formal process to close our books monthly and account for all transactions and thus failed to properly record the Private Placement or disclose such transactions in its SEC filings in a timely manner.
   
3. We did not implement appropriate information technology controls – As at December 31, 2019, the Company retains copies of all financial data and material agreements; however, there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of the Company’s data or off-site storage of the data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors.

 

 17 

 

 

Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.

 

As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

 

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

 

In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:

 

1. We plan to create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. The accounting personnel is responsible for reviewing the financing activities, facilitate the approval of the financing, record the information regarding the financing, and submit SEC filing related documents to our legal counsel in order to comply with the filing requirements of SEC.
   
2. We plan to prepare written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting to establish a formal process to close our books monthly on an accrual basis and account for all transactions, including equity and debt transactions.
   
3. We intend to add staff members to our management team for making sure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed and submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and the staff members will have segregated responsibilities with regard to these responsibilities.

 

We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by the end of fiscal year 2020.

 

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

 

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting:

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our Company currently does not have nominating, compensation, or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our Company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our Directors believes that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the Directors can adequately perform the functions of such committees.

 

Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(D)(5) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a Board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(14) of the FINRA Rules.

 

Audit committee financial expert means a person who has the following attributes:

 

1. An understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements;
   
2. Experience applying such generally accepted accounting principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals, and reserves that are generally comparable to the estimates, accruals and reserves, if any, used in the registrant’s financial statements;
   
3. Experience preparing or auditing financial statements that present accounting issues that are generally comparable to those raised by the registrant’s financial statements;

 

 20 

 

 

4. Experience with internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and
   
5. An understanding of audit committee functions.

 

Currently, our Company does not have an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert (as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K) serving on its Board of Directors because given the early stage of our business development, it is costly to retain an independent Director who qualify as an audit committee financial expert. However, we expect, in the foreseeable future, to form such a committee composed of our non-employee directors. We may in the future attempt to add a qualified board member to serve as an audit committee financial expert in the future, subject to our ability to locate and compensate such a person. The audit committee’s duties will be to recommend to our Company’s Board of Directors the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm to audit our Company’s financial statements and to review our Company’s accounting and auditing principles.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

Our Directors and our Executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

 

1. Bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
   
2. Any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
   
3. Being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his/her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or
   
4. Being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.
   
5. Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission to have violated any Federal or State securities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated;
   
6. Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated any Federal commodities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated;

 

 21 

 

 

7. Such person was the subject of, or a party to, any Federal or State judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of:(i) Any Federal or State securities or commodities law or regulation; or(ii) Any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or(iii) Any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
   
8. Such person was the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(26))), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29))), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have not adopted a formal Code of Ethics. The Board of Directors evaluated the business of the Company and the number of employees and determined that since the business is operated by a small number of persons, general rules of fiduciary duty and federal and state criminal, business conduct and securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines. In the event our operations, employees and/or Directors expand in the future, we may take actions to adopt a formal Code of Ethics.

 

Shareholder Proposals

 

Our Company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for Directors. The Board of Directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our Company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The Board of Directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.

 

A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our Board of Directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our President, at the address appearing on the first page of this Information Statement.

 

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations by our officers and directors regarding their compliance with applicable reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements for our executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders were met during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Given our small size and limited financial resources, we have not adopted formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions, such as those described above, with our executive officer(s), Director(s) and significant stockholders.

Director Independence

 

Our board of directors is currently composed of one member, Xiaohao Tan, who do not qualifies as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To: The Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Ezagoo Limited

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ezagoo Limited and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Going Concern Matter

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. 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 audit 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, 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 consolidated financial statements.

 

Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Ezagoo Limited, a Nevada corporation (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 9, 2018.

 

On May 9, 2018 Tan, Xiaohao was appointed as President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Director of the Company.

 

On May 9, 2018, our President, Tan, Xiaohao, purchased 90,050,500 shares of restricted common stock at a purchase price of $0.0001 (par value) per share. The proceeds from the sale, which were in the amount of $9,005 have gone directly to the Company for initial working capital.

On June 6, 2018 Ezagoo Holding Limited, a Seychelles Company, acquired Ezagoo Limited, A Hong Kong Company, in consideration of $0.13.

Ezagoo Limited, a Nevada Company, acquired Ezagoo Holding Limited, a Seychelles Company, on June 25, 2018 in consideration of $1. Ezagoo Holding Limited is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

On July 20, 2018, Ezagoo Limited, a Hong Kong Company, incorporated a new subsidiary in Changsha, China, called Changsha Ezagoo Technology Limited, whereas it is owned entirely (100%) by Ezagoo Limited, the Hong Kong Company. There was no consideration exchanged per the transaction.

 

The three companies above are under common control Mr. Tan, Xiaohao, the director of the Company, so they are related parties.

 

On July 20, 2018, Changsha Ezagoo Technology Limited, the Hong Kong Company, also referred to herein as “CETL”, entered into and consummated an agreement with Beijing Ezagoo Shopping Holding Limited, also referred to herein as “BESH”, and Ruiyin (Shenzhen) Financial Leasing Limited, also referred to herein as “RFLL”, whereas CETL has the option to purchase all of the equity interests of Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited, a Chinese, “PRC” Company, from RFLL and BESH. These equity interests would make up 100% of the equity interests of Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited. Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited is considered to be a variable interest entity, also referred to herein as a “VIE”, to Changsha Ezagoo Technology Limited, and therefore a VIE of the issuer, Ezagoo Limited, a Nevada Company. More information regarding this agreement can be found in exhibit 10.1, titled, “Call Option Agreement”.

 

On July 20, 2018, CETL entered into and consummated an agreement with BESH and RFLL whereas BESH and RFLL have given CETL the right to appoint management of CETL to act as proxy to existing shareholders of Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited.

CETL is to be compensated with 100% of all profits generated by Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited. This Agreement is effective as of July 20, 2018 and will continue in effect for a period of ten (10) years (the “Initial Term”), and for succeeding periods of the same duration (each, “Subsequent Term”), until terminated by one of the following means either during the Initial Term or thereafter: Mutual Consent, Termination by CETL, Breach or Insolvency. Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited is considered to be a variable interest entity to Changsha Ezagoo Technology Limited, and therefore a VIE of the issuer, Ezagoo Limited, a Nevada Company.

2. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES

 

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of such any pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations, as follow:

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company suffered an accumulated deficit of $2,141,210 and net loss of $847,555. The continuation of the Company as a going concern through December 31, 2019 is dependent upon improving the profitability and the continuing financial support from its stockholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due.

 

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.

 

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 presentation

 

These accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

 

Basis of consolidation

 

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.

 

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.

 

 F-8 

 

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts. 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.

 

The Company’s revenue mainly from providing advertising services (“service revenue”).

 

Cost of revenues

 

Cost of revenue includes bus media terminal rental fees, bus monitors maintenance fees, bus screen installation fees and internet data fees.

 

Income taxes

 

The provision of income taxes is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC Topic 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

 

The Company conducts much of its businesses activities in Mainland China and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities.

 

Net loss per share

 

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)

 

Foreign currencies translation

 

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$”) and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary in People’s Republic of China maintains its books and record in its local currency, Chinese Yuan (“CNY”), 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 within the statements of stockholders’ equity.

 

Translation of amounts from CNY into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

 

 

   As of and for the
three months ended
December 31,
 
   2019   2018 
Period-end CNY: US$1 exchange rate   6.97    6.89 
Period-average CNY: US$1 exchange rate   7.01    6.63 
Period-end HK$: US$1 exchange rate   7.75    7.80 
Period-average HK$: US$1 exchange rate   7.75    7.80 

 

Related parties

 

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company 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. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, subscription receivables, prepayment and deposits, accounts payable, and other payables and accrued liabilities approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)

 

  Level 1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
   
  Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
   
  Level 3 : Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions

 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

 

Lease

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases, which was subsequently amended in 2018 by ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11 and ASU 2018-20 (collectively, Topic 842). Topic 842 will require the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For operating leases, the asset and liability will be expensed over the lease term on a straight-line basis, with all cash flows included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability will be recognized separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income and the repayment of the principal portion of the lease liability will be classified as a financing activity while the interest component will be included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. Topic 842 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, leases will be recognized and measured at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Topic 842 allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period the new lease standard is adopted and will not require restatement of prior periods.

 

Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company accounted for leases under ASC 840, Accounting for Leases. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the guidance of ASC 842, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases. The Company adopted ASC 842 using a modified retrospective approach. As a result, the comparative financial information has not been updated and the required disclosures prior to the date of adoption have not been updated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets of $76,255, lease liabilities for operating leases of $85,039, and $5,629 adjustment to accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2019. See Note 14 for further information regarding the impact of the adoption of ASC 842 on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “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 for us for the year ending March 31, 2021 and interim reporting periods during the year ending March 31, 2021. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We are evaluating the effects, if any, of the adoption of this guidance on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, 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, 2019. Implementation on a prospective or retrospective basis varies by specific disclosure requirement. Early adoption is permitted. The standard also allows for early adoption of any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU while delaying adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date.

The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. 

 

The related party transactions are generally transacted in an arm-length basis at the current market value in the normal course of business.

14. OPERATING LEASE

 

The Company has an operating lease agreement for the office space with lease terms of 3 years. The Company does not have any other leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components of its leases as a single lease component. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term

 

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest in arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate 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 includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.

 

This standard did not have a significant impact on our liquidity or on our compliance with our financial covenants associated with our loans.

 

The components of lease expense and supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the period are as follows:

 

(a) Rent expenses

 

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company has incurred rent expenses solely for the office premises on a monthly basis as follows:

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of the COVID-19 outbreak and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.

 

The COVID-19 outbreak has already impacted our business, given the fact that customers postponing the bus advertisements display period due to the lockdown of country and reduce use of public transportation. However, the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on our financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the global situation on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, we are not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on our results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

From January 1, 2020 to April 14, 2020, the company paid $231,098 of related party payables to related party F Hunan Homestead Asset Management Co. Ltd.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.

 

Item 4 Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

 

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2016. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of December 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ending December 31, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We know of no materials, active or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any beneficial shareholder are an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to us.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

You should carefully consider the risks described below and elsewhere in this Annual Report, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. Our business faces significant risks and the risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may materially affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition. If any of these risks occur, the trading price of our common stock could be decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to our Business

 

We rely entirely on the operations of Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited. Any successes or failures of Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited will directly impact our financial condition and may cause your investment to be either positively or negatively impacted.

 

At present, we share the same business plan as, and rely entirely upon, Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited. Any successes or failures of Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited will directly impact our financial condition and may cause your investment to be either positively or negatively impacted. Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited is considered a variable interest entity through which we operate exclusively at this time and we have been deemed to currently be a direct beneficiary of Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited. As such, in the event that the business of operations of Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited were to fail, then our own business would, in turn, fail as well. We would be forced to either drastically alter our business strategy, or we would likely cease operations entirely, which could result in the whole or partial loss of any investments made in the company.

 

Competition from both large, established industry participants and new market entrants may negatively affect our current and future results of operations.

 

We face vigorous competition from companies throughout the world and in China specifically, including large multinational advertising companies. Some established competitors have greater resources and better accessibility than us, therefore they are able to adapt quicker to changes in customer requirements and reach customers easier from all over the globe. If we are unable to continue to compete effectively, it could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

If we do not manage our growth effectively, the quality of our solution or our relationships with our customers may suffer, and our operating results may be negatively affected.

 

We rely heavily on information technology, or IT, systems to manage critical functions such as advertising campaign management and operations, data storage and retrieval, revenue recognition, budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting and other administrative functions. To manage our growth effectively, we must continue to improve and expand our infrastructure, including our IT, financial and administrative systems and controls. We must also continue to manage our employees, operations, finances, research and development and capital investments efficiently. Our productivity and the quality of our solution may be adversely affected if we do not integrate and train our new employees, particularly our sales and account management personnel, quickly and effectively and if we fail to appropriately coordinate across our executive, engineering, finance, human resources, legal, marketing, sales, operations and customer support teams. If we continue our rapid growth, we will incur additional expenses, and our growth may continue to place a strain on our resources, infrastructure and ability to maintain the quality of our solution. If we do not adapt to meet these evolving growth challenges, and if the current and future members of our management team do not effectively scale with our growth, the quality of our solution may suffer and our corporate culture may be harmed. Failure to manage our future growth effectively could cause our business to suffer, which, in turn, could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

 31 

 

 

Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by global health epidemics, including the recent COVID-19 outbreak.

 

Outbreaks of epidemic, pandemic, or contagious diseases such as COVID-19, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The spread of COVID-19 from China to other countries has resulted in the World Health Organization declaring the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic. The slow-down in the global economy and the reduced levels of international and domestic travel experienced since the beginning of January would affect our business adversely. The Any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The extent to which the COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken globally to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. Existing insurance coverage may not provide protection for all costs that may arise from all such possible events. We are still assessing our business operations and the impact COVID-19 may have on our results and financial condition, but there can be no assurance that this analysis will enable us to avoid part or all of any impact from the spread of COVID-019 or its consequences, including downturns in business sentiment generally or in our sector in particular.

 

We may require additional capital to support growth, and such capital might not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. This could hamper our growth and adversely affect our business.

 

We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require additional funds, beyond those generated by this offering, to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new features or enhance our platform, improve our operating infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in public or private equity, equity-linked or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing that we secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, including the ability to pay dividends. This may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired, and our business could be adversely affected.

 

We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors because competition in our industry is intense, and our competitors may offer solutions that are perceived by our customers to be more attractive than ours. These factors could result in declining revenue, or inability to grow our business.

 

Competition for our advertisers’ advertising budgets is intense. We also expect competition to increase as the barriers to enter our market are low. Increased competition may force us to charge less for our solution, or offer pricing models that are less attractive to us and decrease our margins. Our principal competitors include companies that offer demand-side platforms that allow advertisers to purchase inventory directly from advertising exchanges or other third parties and manage their own consumer data, traditional advertising networks and advertising agencies themselves.

 

We also rely predominately on advertising agencies to purchase our solution on behalf of advertisers, and certain of those agencies or agency holding companies are creating competitive solutions, referred to as agency trading desks. If these agency trading desks are successful in leveraging their relationships with the advertisers we may be unable to compete even if our solution is more effective. Many agencies that we work with are also owned by large agency holding companies. For various reasons related to the agencies’ own priorities or those of their holding companies, they may not recommend our solution, even though it may be more effective, and we may not have the opportunity to demonstrate our value to advertisers.

 

Many current and potential competitors have competitive advantages relative to us, such as longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger client bases, greater access to advertising inventory on premium websites and significantly greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources. Increased competition may result in reduced pricing for our solution, longer sales cycles or a decrease of our market share, any of which could negatively affect our revenue and future operating results and our ability to grow our business.

 

We have been dependent on TV display advertising. A decrease in the use of display advertising, or our inability to further penetrate display, mobile, social and video advertising channels would harm our business, growth prospects, operating results and financial condition.

 

Historically, our customers have predominantly used our solution for TV display advertising, and the substantial majority of our revenue is derived from advertisers, that use our solution for TV display advertising. We expect that TV display advertising will continue to be a significant channel used by our customers. Recently, overall display advertising growth has been driven by mobile, social and video advertising. Should our customers lose confidence in the value or effectiveness of TV display advertising, the demand for our display solution could decline. In addition, our failure to achieve market acceptance of our solution for mobile, social and video advertising would harm our growth prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Our growth depends, in part, on the success of our strategic relationships with advertisers, including ready access to hardware in key bus line to facilitate the delivery of our solution and reliable management of Internet traffic.

 

We anticipate that we will continue to depend on various advertisers’ relationships in order to grow our business. We continue to pursue additional relationships with advertisers. Identifying, negotiating and documenting relationships with them requires significant time and resources as does integrating advertisers’ data and services. Our agreements with providers of technology, computer hardware, display facilities, content and consulting services and real-time advertising exchanges are typically non-exclusive, do not prohibit them from working with our competitors or from offering competing services and do not typically have minimum purchase commitments. Our competitors may be effective in providing incentives to third parties to favor their products or services over ours or to otherwise prevent or reduce purchases of our solution. In addition, these advertisers may not perform as expected under our agreements with them, and we may have disagreements or disputes with advertisers, which could negatively affect our brand and reputation.

 

In particular, our continued growth depends on our ability to source computer hardware, including servers built to our specifications, and the ability to locate those servers and related hardware in co-location facilities in the most desirable bus line and time slot to facilitate the timely delivery of our services. Disruptions in the services provided at co-location facilities that we rely upon can degrade the level of services that we can provide, which could harm our business. We also rely on our integration with many advertisers’ technology providers to execute our business on a daily basis. We must efficiently direct a large amount of network traffic and each bid typically must take place. We rely on TV screens to direct display to our solution for efficient processing. If our TV screens experiences disruptions or performance problems, this could result in inefficient balancing of traffic across our servers as well as impairing or preventing audiences’ connectivity to our TV advertisings, which could harm our business.

 

We have historically relied, and expect to continue to rely, on our existing customers for a significant portion of our revenue. The loss of any of existing customers could significantly harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We expect that we will continue to depend upon our existing customers for a significant portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future. As a result, if we fail to successfully attract or retain new or existing customers or if existing customers run fewer advertising campaigns with us, defer or cancel their insertion orders, or terminate their relationship with us altogether, whether through the actions of their agency representatives or otherwise, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be harmed.

 

Our sales and marketing efforts require significant investment, which may not yield returns in the foreseeable future, if at all.

 

We have invested significant resources in our research and development, sales and marketing teams to educate potential and prospective advertisers about the value of our solution. We often spend substantial time and resources explaining how our solution can optimize advertising campaigns in real time, and responding to requests for proposals from potential advertisers, including developing material specific to the needs of such potential advertisers. Our business depends in part upon advertisers’ confidence that represent those advertisers, that our use of real-time advertising exchanges to purchase inventory is superior to other methods of purchasing digital TV display advertising. We may not be successful in attracting new advertisers despite our investment in our business development, sales and marketing organizations.

 

If we do not effectively grow and train our sales team, we may be unable to add new customers or increase sales to our existing customers, and our business would be adversely affected.

 

We continue to be substantially dependent on our sales team to obtain new customers and to drive sales from our existing customers. We believe that there is significant competition for sales personnel with the skills and technical knowledge that we require. Our ability to achieve significant revenue growth will depend, in large part, on our success in recruiting, training, integrating and retaining sufficient numbers of sales personnel to support our growth. Our current sales team is primarily trained and experienced in selling to advertising agencies, which often control an advertiser’s budget. If more of our business shifts to direct relationships with brand advertisers, we may not have an adequately trained sales team to support that shift and to sell products effectively to those advertisers. New hires require significant training and it may take significant time before they achieve full productivity. Our recent hires and planned hires may not become productive as quickly as we expect, and we may be unable to hire or retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals in the markets where we do business or plan to do business. In addition, as we continue to grow rapidly, a large percentage of our sales team will be new to the company and our solution. If we are unable to hire and train sufficient numbers of effective sales personnel, or the sales personnel are not successful in obtaining new customers or increasing sales to our existing customer base, our business would be adversely affected.
