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, 2020, the Company suffered an accumulated deficit of $2,832,820 and net loss of $683,841. The continuation
of the Company as a going concern through December 31, 2021 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
accompanying audited 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 consolidated presentation
|
These consolidated financial statements,
accompanying notes, and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States of America (“US GAAP”). The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The Company’s financial
statements are presented in U.S. dollars.
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.
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.
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 includes bus media terminal rental fees, bus monitors maintenance fees, bus screen installation fees and internet data
fees.

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.
●
|
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:

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:
|
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.
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 expense 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 $91,694, lease liabilities for operating leases of $102,320, and
$10,626 adjustment to accumulated deficit. After the adoption, $0 of operating lease right-of-use assets and $0 of lease liabilities
for operating leases, and $0 of adjustment to accumulated deficit were reflected to December 31, 2020 financial statements. See
Note 15 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 December 31, 2020 and interim reporting periods during the year ending December
31, 2020. 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.

Credit risk
Financial
instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company believes the concentration
of credit risk in its accounts receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively
short collection terms. 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.

OPERATING LEASE
The
Company has an operating lease agreement for the office space with lease terms of 3 years. The Company paid month by month
rent as of December 31, 2020 after the lease ends. 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

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, 2020, 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, 2020, 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, 2020, that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

present, we share the same business plan as, and rely entirely upon, Beijing Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited (formerly
known as Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited). Any successes or failures of Beijing Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology
Limited (formerly known as Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited) will directly impact our financial condition and
may cause your investment to be either positively or negatively impacted. Beijing Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited
(formerly known as 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 Beijing Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet
Technology Limited (formerly known as Hunan Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited). As such, in the event that the business
of operations of Beijing Ezagoo Zhicheng Internet Technology Limited (formerly known as 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.
