| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation. A subsidiary is an entity in which (i) the Company directly or indirectly controls more than 50% of the voting power; or (ii) the Company has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors or to cast a majority of votes at the meetings of the board of directors or to govern the financial and operating activities.
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates include, but not limited to, the allowance for credit losses, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, share-based compensation, long-term investment, valuation allowances of deferred tax assets, and warrant liabilities. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounts receivable are recorded at the gross billing amount less an allowance for any uncollectible accounts due from the customers. Accounts receivable do not bear interest.
Since January 1, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), using the modified retrospective transition method. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. Upon adoption, the Company changed the impairment model to utilize a forward-looking current expected credit losses (CECL) model in place of the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and receivables resulting from the application of ASC 606, including contract assets.
The Group recognizes a provision for credit losses and records the corresponding allowance for credit losses as an offset against accounts receivable. The provision for credit losses is classified as “General and administrative expenses” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Group assesses collectability by reviewing accounts receivable on a collective basis where similar characteristics exist, primarily based on similar business lines, and on an individual basis when the Group identifies specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Group considers historical collectability based on past due status, the age of the balances, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect the Group’s ability to collect from customers. Delinquent account balances are written-off against the allowance for expected credit loss.
The Group accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The fair value of the Private Warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes model.
Accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of input are:
Accounting guidance also describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach; and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.
Financial assets and liabilities of the Group primarily consist of cash, accounts receivable, short-term investments, other receivables included in prepayments and other current assets, long-term investment, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, other payables included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and warrant liabilities. As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, the carrying amounts of other financial instruments approximated to their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The warrant liabilities were measured at fair value using unobservable inputs and categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Group’s non-financial assets, such as software and equipment, would be measured at fair value only if they were determined to be impaired.
The Group’s revenues are mainly generated from providing auto eInsurance service, technology service and auto service.
The Group recognizes revenue pursuant to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). In accordance with ASC 606, revenues from contracts with customers are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Group’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services, reduced by Value Added Tax (“VAT”). To achieve the core principle of this standard, we applied the following five steps:
Auto eInsurance Service
The Group provides insurance intermediation services by distributing primarily vehicle insurance on behalf of insurance companies and charges them commissions based on a percentage of premiums paid by the insured. In accordance with ASC 606-10-25-14 and 25-19, the Group identifies the insurance intermediation service as a single performance obligation. The Group has determined that this service is distinct as: (i) the insurance companies (the customers) can benefit from the distribution service on its own through the successful execution of insurance policies and the resulting premium inflows; and (ii) the Group’s promise to transfer the intermediation service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The service does not involve a significant integration service, nor does it significantly modify or customize the insurance products, and it is not highly interdependent with other services provided by the Group. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when an insurance policy becomes effective, which occurs when the signed insurance policy is in place and the premium is collected from the insured. Although the Group’s efforts are performed when the policy is sold, the criteria for contract identification under ASC 606-10-25-19 are only satisfied when the premium is received. Prior to this point, the collectability of the commission is not considered probable. Accordingly, the Group does not accrue any commission revenue prior to reperceiving related premiums. No allowance for cancellation is provided as historical cancellations have been rare and immaterial.
Principal versus Agent Assessment:
In accordance with ASC 606-10-55-37A and 55-39, the Group has determined that it acts as an agent in these transactions. The Group does not control the insurance policy before it is transferred to the insured. Specifically: (i) the insurance companies, not the Group, are primarily responsible for fulfilling the insurance coverage to the insured; (ii) the Group does not bear any inventory risk related to the insurance policies ; and (iii) the Group has no discretion in establishing the insurance premiums, which are set by the insurance companies. Therefore, revenue is recognized on a net basis in the amount of commission to which the Group is entitled.
Technology service
The Group provides technology services including technical software and consulting related to automobile services and insurance, such as customer relationship management (CRM), order management, finance management and visual analysis systems.
In accordance with ASC 606-10-25-14 and 25-19, the Group identifies the technology service as a single performance obligation. Although the service includes both software access and technical consulting/support, the Group has determined that these components are not separately identifiable within the context of the contract. The software and consulting services are highly interrelated and interdependent, as the software is a self-developed proprietary system that requires the Group's ongoing integration, data maintenance, and technical updates to remain functional and relevant to the customer's specific automobile and insurance service needs. Therefore, the software and related consulting are treated as a combined output delivered over the service period.
The Group satisfies its performance obligation over time during the service period because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the Group provides access and support. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term, typically charged at a fixed price per month. The transaction price is allocated entirely to this single combined performance obligation. The Group does not have significant variable considerations, and the payment terms generally require monthly settlement, which does not involve a significant financing component.
Principal versus Agent Assessment:
In accordance with ASC 606-10-55-37A and 55-39, the Group has determined it acts as the principal in these transactions. The Group controls the technical software and consulting services before they are transferred to the customer. This is evidenced by the fact that: (i) the Group is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the integrated system and ensure its functionality; (ii) the Group owns the intellectual property of the software and bears the risk of service delivery; and (iii) the Group has full discretion in establishing the price for the services. Auto service
The Group defines enterprise customers as the Group’s customers and the Group sells auto service coupons to enterprise customers, which each coupon represents one specific auto service. There are various service types including vehicle washing, waxing, maintenance, driving service and road assistance, and the Group only provides one specific service among various service types for each specific service coupon. The Group identifies each specific service coupon as a contract that establishes enforceable rights and obligations for each party. The Group charges the service fee at a fixed price per service when the service is performed. For service coupons with limited duration, the Group either charges the service fee at a fixed price per service when the service is performed or when the coupon expires, whether or not the service has been performed. The Group considers each service coupon is a distinct service that is capable of providing a benefit to the customer on its own according to ASC 606-10-25-14(a). Therefore, the Group identifies only one performance obligation under a contract, which is to provide a specific service or to stand-ready to perform a specific service within a limited duration. The Group acts as a principal as the Group controls the right to services before the services are provided to customers, and the Group has the ability to direct other parties to provide the services to customers on the Group’s behalf. Specifically, the Group has the ability to choose service providers, is primarily responsible for the acceptability for the service meeting customer specifications, bears inventory risk after transfer of control of services to customers and has the discretion in establishing the price with customers and with service providers and bears credit risk. The Group recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration at the point of time when the service is provided, or when the service coupon expires. The Group does not provide refunds to customers when a coupon has expired but is not used.
The Group’s revenues are disaggregated by timing of revenue recognition as follows:
Contract Balances
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable represent revenue recognized for the amounts invoiced and/or prior to invoicing when the Group has satisfied its performance obligation and has an unconditional right to payment. Contract assets represent the Group’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Group has transferred to a customer. The Group has no contract assets as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026.
The contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue, which represents the billings or cash received for services in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized as revenue the performance obligation is satisfied. The Group expects to recognize this balance as revenue over the next 12 months. The table below presents the activity of contract liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively:
The Group’s principal country of operations is the PRC. The financial position and results of its operations are determined using RMB, the local currency, as the functional currency. The Group’s financial statements are reported using U.S. Dollars (“$”). The results of operations and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows denominated in foreign currency are translated at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. The equity denominated in the functional currency is translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of capital contribution. Because cash flows are translated based on the average translation rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income included in unaudited condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations.
The value of RMB against $ and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect the Group’s financial condition in terms of $ reporting. The following table outlines the currency exchange rates that were used in creating the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements:
No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at the rates used in translation.
The Group is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, EGC can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvement to Income Tax Disclosure. This standard requires more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This standard also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Group is in the process of evaluation the impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statement. In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for us for our annual reporting for fiscal 2028 and for interim period reporting beginning in fiscal 2029 on a prospective basis. Both early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of these standards will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt–Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversion of Convertible Debt Instruments (“ASU 2024–04”), which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. ASU 2024-04 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-06. The Group is in the process of evaluation the impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statement.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”), which provides a practical expedient for all entities in estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2025-05 on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), which simplifies the accounting for internal-use software by eliminating the requirement to apply a staged approach to software development and introducing a principles-based capitalization model. Under the new guidance, capitalization of internal-use software costs begins when management authorizes and commits to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. The amendments also enhance disclosure requirements, including information about capitalized software costs, significant judgments applied in determining capitalization, and details of major software projects. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, “Codification Improvements.” The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify the Codification or correct unintended application of guidance and apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Group does not discuss recent standards that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures. |
