PONY GROUP INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES FOR THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
Organization and Operations
PONY GROUP INC, (the “Company” or “PONY”) was incorporated on Jan 7, 2019 in the state of Delaware.
On March 7, 2019, the Company entered into and a stock purchase agreement with Wenxian Fan, the sole owner of PONY LIMOUSINE SERVICES LIMITED (“Pony HK”), a limited liability company formed under the laws of Hong Kong on April 28, 2016, to acquire 100% equity ownership of Pony HK. Pony HK provides cross boarder limousine services to its customers and dedicated to developing applications based on Wechat platform. As a result, Pony HK has become the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.
On February 2, 2019, Universe Travel Culture & Technology Ltd. (“Universe Travel”) was incorporated as a wholly-owned PRC subsidiary of Pony HK.
NOTE 2 - Basis of presentation and summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of Accounting and Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of Estimates - The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Leases- On March 31, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). For all leases that were entered into prior to the effective date of Topic 842, the Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients. Based on this guidance the Company did not reassess the following: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Principles of Consolidation-The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include the financial statements of PONY GROUP INC and its subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Company | | Date of establishment | | Place of establishment | | Percentage of legal ownership by PONY | | | Principal activities |
Subsidiaries: | | | | | | | | | |
Pony HK | | April 28, 2016 | | Hong Kong, PRC | | | 100 | % | | Car services |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Universe Travel | | February 2, 2019 | | Mainland, PRC | | | 100 | % | | Car services and Technological development and operation service |
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. There is no cash equivalent as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, accounts receivable were $16,697 and $20,224, respectively. The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible and determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts was not necessary.
The Company had two major customers for the six months ended June 30, 2024: XAARPLC (Shenzhen) Technology. , Ltd accounted for 33,89% of the total revenue and MILES LIMITED accounted for 19.46% of the total revenue.
The Company had four major customers for the six months ended June 30, 2023: Shenzhen Eryuechuer Culture & Technology., Ltd, accounted for 24.88% of the total revenue. Shenzhen Shangjia Electronic Technology., Ltd and Shenzhen Zhongke Hengjin each accounted separately for 10.73% of the revenue and in the aggregate 41.46% of the revenue. Hong Kong Financial Services Institute accounted 11.21% of the total revenue.
The Company determines the adequacy of reserves for doubtful accounts based on individual account analysis and historical collections. The Company establishes a provision for doubtful receivables when there is objective evidence that the Company may not be able to collect amounts due. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual exposures, as well as a provision on historical trends of collections. The provision is recorded against accounts receivable balances, with a corresponding charge recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Actual amounts received may differ from management’s estimate of credit worthiness and the economic environment. Delinquent account balances are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.
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.
Car service
The Company currently provides car services to individual and group travelers. It currently offers carpooling, airport pick-up and drop-off, and personal driver services for travelers between Guangdong Province and Hong Kong. It collaborates with car fleet companies and charges a service fee by matching the traveler and the driver. Redefining the user experience, the Company aims to provide its users with comprehensive and convenient service offerings and to become a one-stop travel booking resource for travelers. When the traveler selects and initiates a car service request, an estimated service fee is displayed and the traveler can further decide whether to place the service request or not. Once the traveler places the ride service request and the Company accepts the service request, a car service agreement is entered into between the traveler and the Company. Upon completion of the car services, the Company recognizes ride hailing services revenues on a gross basis.
Technological development and operation service
Revenues from technological development service, including information technology system design and cloud platform development, are recognized monthly by a fixed amount based on the contract.
From time to time, the Company enters into arrangements to provide technological support and maintenance service applications to its customers. The Company’s efforts are expended evenly throughout the service period. The revenues for the technological support and maintenance services are recognized over the support and maintenance services period, usually from 3 months to one year. The Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation and are primarily on a fixed-price basis. There were no significant returns, refund and other similar obligations during each reporting period.
Cost of revenue – For car services, cost of revenue, which is directly related to revenue generating transactions, primarily consists of driver earnings and driver incentives. For technological development and operation service, cost of revenue includes the salaries of the development department and the service fee paid to third party.
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.
Value added tax (“VAT”) – Sales revenue derived from the invoiced car service and technological development and operation service is subject to VAT. Prior to that, due to the fact that Universe Travel was a small and micro enterprise, the Company was subject to a fixed rate of business tax of 3%.
Foreign Currency Translation – Pony HK’s functional currency is the Hong Kong Dollar (HK$) and Universe Travel’s functional currency is the Renminbi (RMB). The reporting currency is that of the US Dollar. Assets, liabilities and equity amounts 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:
June 30, 2024 | | | | |
Balance sheet | | HK$7.81 to US $1.00 | | RMB 7.27 to US $1.00 |
Statement of operation and other comprehensive income | | HK$7.82 to US $1.00 | | RMB 7.24 to US $1.00 |
December 31, 2023 | | | | |
Balance sheet | | HK$7.81 to US $1.00 | | RMB 7.09 to US $1.00 |
June 30, 2023 | | | | |
Statement of operation and other comprehensive income | | HK$7.84 to US $1.00 | | RMB 6.93 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 unaudited condensed financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company had operating losses of $84,594 and $102,409 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company has accumulated deficit of $809,014 and working capital deficit of $595,103 as of June 30, 2024. 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.
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
Wenxian Fan is the founder of our Company and has been serving as our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer since its inception.

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.
Results of Operations
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to June 30, 2023
Revenue
For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, revenues were $24,268 and $47,228, respectively, with a decrease of $22,960 over the same period in 2023. The decrease was due to Universe Travel providing technology development services to Shenzhen Eryuechuer Culture & Technology., Ltd in the amount of $25,717 during the three month ended June 30, 2023. There was no technology development service provided for the same period ended 2024, thus revenue decreased in such quarter.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, revenues were $36,153 and $103,394 respectively, with a decrease of $67,241 over the same period in 2023. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the Company not providing technology development service to the Company’s clients for the six months ended June 30, 2024. From January to June 2023, Universe Travel provided technology development services to three major clients, Shenzhen Eryuechuer Culture & Technology., Ltd, Shenzhen Shangjia Electronic Technology., Ltd and Shenzhen Zhongke Hengjin Technology Co., Ltd, which generated $63,603 revenue for the Company during the six month ended June 30, 2023. As a result, the Company’s revenue decreased compared with the same period last year.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $13,313 and $20,867, respectively, with a decrease of $7,554 over the same period in 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease of revenue, thus the cost of revenue also decreased accordingly.
Cost of Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $21,081 and $45,471, respectively, with a decrease of $24,390 over the same period in 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease of revenue, thus the cost of revenue also decreased accordingly.
Gross Profit
Gross profits were $10,955 and $26,361 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The gross profit margin as a percentage of sales were 45.1% and 55.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Since our employees could provide application development services without additional marginal cost, technology development services have a higher gross profit margin than the other services we provide. The decrease of gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 was due to the fact that technology development services accounted for lower proportion of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Gross profits were $15,072 and $57,923 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The gross profit margin as a percentage of sales for the six months ending June 30, 2024 and 2023 were 41.7% and 56.0%, respectively. The decrease of gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 was due to the fact that technology development services accounted for lower proportion of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $38,868 and $71,874, respectively, for a decrease of $33,006. The decrease of operating expenses was mainly due to decrease of service fees paid for other consulting services as compared to the prior period.
Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $99,596 and $160,409, respectively, a decrease of $60,813 from the same period in 2023. The decrease of operating expenses was mainly due to decrease of service fees paid for other consulting services as compared to the prior period.
Other (Expense)Income
Other income consists of interest income and exchange gain (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the net other expense was $80 compared to net other income $156 for the same period last year. This was mainly due to the change of exchange rate and the increase of average cash balances.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the net other expense was $70 when it was a net other income of $77 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 $809,014 as of June 30, 2024. We had a cash balance of $9,981 and negative working capital of $595,103 as of June 30, 2024. The Company has incurred losses of $84,594 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, amounted to $86,487, compared to $86,353 net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, amounted to $72,269, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $53,090 in the same period of 2023. 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.
