PONY GROUP INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES FOR THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Operations
PONY GROUP INC, (The “Company” or “PONY”) was incorporated on January 7, 2019 in the state of Delaware.
On March 7, 2019, Pony Group Inc (the “Purchaser”), and Wenxian Fan, the sole owner of PONY LIMOUSINE SERVICES LIMITED (“Pony HK”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Wenxian Fan (the “Seller”) would sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser will purchase from the Seller, 10,000 shares of Pony HK, which represented 100% of the shares. On March 7, 2019, this transaction was completed.
Pony HK is a limited corporation formed under the laws of Hong Kong on April 28, 2016, which was formed by FAN WENXIAN. Its registered office is located at FLAT/RM 01 11/F, LUCKY COMM BLDG, 103 DES VOEUX RD WEST, SHEUNG WAN, HONG KONG. The business nature of the Company is to provide cross boarder limousine services to customers. On February 2, 2019, Universe Travel Culture & Technology Ltd. (“Universe Travel”) was incorporated as a wholly-owned PRC subsidiary of Pony HK.
Details of the Company’s structure as of September 30, 2023 are as follow:
Reverse Merger Accounting – Since Pony HK and Pony US were entities under Ms. Fan’s common control prior to the “Purchase Agreement” was executed, and because of certain other factors, including that the member of the Company’s executive management is from Pony HK, Pony HK is deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes and the Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and a recapitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect the historical results of Pony HK prior to the Merger and that of the combined Company following the Merger, and do not include the historical financial results prior to the completion of the Merger. Common stock and the corresponding capital amounts of the Company pre-Merger have been retroactively restated as capital stock shares.
Basis of Accounting and Presentation - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
5
Cash and Cash Equivalents – For purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable - The customers are required to make payments when they book the services, otherwise, the services will not be arranged. Sometimes, the Company extends credit to its group clients.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, accounts receivable was $12,693 and $10,723, respectively. The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible and determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts was not necessary.
Pony HK, a 100% subsidiary of the Company, has agreements with its major clients that the payments for the services rendered be settled every six months. There was no client that accounted for over 10% of the revenue for Pony HK in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Universe Travel Culture & Technology Ltd. (“Universe Travel”) was incorporated as a wholly-owned PRC subsidiary of Pony HK, has agreements with three major clients. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the following clients accounted for over 10% of the revenue for Universe Travel: Shenzhen Zhongke Hengjin with 24.84%; Shenzhen Eryuechuer Culture & Technology., Ltd, with 17.88%; and Shenzhen Shangjia Electronic Technology., Ltd with 15.25%
Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606. The core principle of ASC606 is to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle, which includes: (1) identifying contracts with customers, (2) identifying performance obligations within those contracts, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract, which may include an estimate of variable consideration, and (5) recognizing revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied. Our sales arrangements generally ask customers to pay in advance before any services can be arranged. The company recognizes revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Documents and terms and the completion of any customer acceptance requirements, when applicable, are used to verify services rendered. The Company has no returns or sales discounts and allowances because services rendered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable.
Cost of revenue – Cost of revenue includes cost of services rendered during the period, net of discounts and sales tax.
Income Taxes – Income tax expense represents current tax expense. The income tax payable represents the amounts expected to be paid to the taxation authority. Hong Kong profits tax has been provided at the rate of 16.5% on the estimated assessable profit for the period.
Foreign Currency Translation - Pony HK’s functional currency is the Hong Kong Dollar (HK$) and Universe Travel Culture & Technology Ltd.’s functional currency is the Renminbi (RMB). The reporting currency is that of the US Dollar. Assets, liabilities and owners’ contribution are translated at the exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the year.
The exchange rates used to translate amounts in HK$ and RMB into USD for the purposes of preparing the financial statements were as follows:
September 30, 2023 | ||||
Balance sheet | HK$7.83 to US $1.00 | RMB 7.29 to US $1.00 | ||
Statement of operation and other comprehensive income | HK$7.83 to US $1.00 | RMB 7.03 to US $1.00 | ||
December 31, 2022 | ||||
Balance sheet | HK$7.80 to US $1.00 | RMB 6.89 to US $1.00 | ||
September 30, 2022 | ||||
Statement of operation and other comprehensive income | HK$7.85 to US $1.00 | RMB 6.85 to US$1.00 |

Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company does not believe that any recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company had net loss of $116,210 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and has accumulated deficit of 65,614 at September 30, 2023. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtain additional financing, as may be required.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The 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 should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management’s Plan to Continue as a Going Concern
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) obtaining capital from the sale of its equity securities, (2) sales of the Company’s products, (3) short-term and long-term borrowings from banks, and (4) short-term borrowings from stockholders or other related party (ies) when needed. However, management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually to secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and other financial information, which are included elsewhere in this Report. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our financial statements and the financial information included in this Report reflect our organizational transactions and have been prepared as if our current corporate structure had been in place throughout the relevant periods.
Overview
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 7, 2019. We are a travel service provider. We currently provide car services to individual and group travelers. We currently offer carpooling, airport pick-up and drop-off, and personal driver services for travelers between Guangdong Province and Hong Kong. We collaborate with car fleet companies and charge a service fee by matching the traveler and the driver. We officially launched our online service through our “Let’s Go” mobile application in December 2019 to provide multi-language services to international travelers coming to visit China. Redefining the user experience, we aim to provide our users with comprehensive and convenient service offerings and become a one-stop travel booking resource for travelers. While network scale is important, we recognize that transportation happens locally. We currently operate in two markets – Guangdong Province and Hong Kong and plan to expand our offering in more oversea markets.
Plan of Operations
In January 2019, we started our Research and Development (“R&D”) project mobile Lets Go App (“App”) designed to have multi-language interface to attract users from around the world, focusing on providing one-stop travel services to foreigners traveling in China, for both leisure and business.
In April 2019, we rolled out basic version which supports carpooling, car rental, airport pick-up and/or drop-off, etc., ready for download at Apple App store; the basic version has an interface in Chinese language only. In May 2019, we rolled out the second version which has an enhanced interface in both Chinese and English language which supports payment through PayPal. By the end of 2019, we rolled out third version of the App which has multi-language interface to attract users from all-over the world. In January 2020, we officially launched the App.
We intend to attract users from outside of China to use our App and expand our offerings on the App to serve as a one-stop shop to book tickets, reserve hotels, rent a car and hire English speaking drivers.
Our goal is to grow to an international player in the travel service market. To accomplish such goal, we will cooperate with other businesses which have capital, marketing and technology resources or products. We expect to recruit more workforce and talents, and develop new technologies and products.

Cost of Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $65,415 and $38,116, respectively, with an increase of $27,299 over the same period in 2022. The increase was mainly due to the increase of revenue, thus the cost of revenue increased accordingly.

The gross profit margin as a percentage of sales were 47.7% and 71.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Since our staff could provide application development services based on the Wechat platform without additional costs, technology development services have a higher gross profit margin. The decrease of gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022 was due to the fact that technology development services accounted for lower proportion of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

The gross profit margin as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were 53.8% and 50.1%, respectively. The increase of gross profit margin was due to Universe Travel providing technology development services to its three major clients during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This service provided has a higher gross profit margin and led to the increase of the total gross profit margin.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $31,965 and $52,865, respectively, for a decrease of $20,900. The decrease of operating expenses was mainly due to decrease of a service fee paid for OTC listing and other consulting services fees as compared to the prior period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the net other income was $83 when it was a net other expense of $7,589 in the same period last year. This was mainly due to the change of exchange rate and the increase of average cash balances.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have suffered recurring losses from operations and have an accumulated deficit of $665,614 as of September 30, 2023. We had a cash balance of $27,131 and negative working capital of $454,780 as of September 30, 2023. The Company has incurred losses of $116,210 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to do so. The Company has not continually generated significant gross profits. Unless our operations generate a significant increase in gross profit and cash flows from operating activities, our continued operations will depend on whether we are able to raise additional funds through various sources, such as equity and debt financing, other collaborative agreements and/or strategic alliances. Our management is actively engaged in seeking additional capital to fund our operations in the short to medium term. Such additional funds may not become available on acceptable terms and there can be no assurance that any additional funding that we do obtain will be sufficient to meet our needs in the long term.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, amounted to $134,131, compared to $333,835 net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease of net cash used in operating activities was due to the decrease of net loss.
There were $0 cash used in investment activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 amounted to $94,485, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $91,513 in the same period of 2022. The net cash provided by financing activities were from shareholders who paid certain expenses on behalf of the Company.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The 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 should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) obtaining capital from the sale of its equity securities, (2) sales of the Company’s services, (3) short-term and long-term borrowings from banks, and (4) short-term borrowings from stockholders or other related party(ies) when needed. However, management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually to secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, the useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets, and the valuation of equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
See Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our significant accounting policies.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
