INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Automoney Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Automoney Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditors' Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Group’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter Regarding Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 have been prepared assuming that the Group will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Group has suffered losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(All amounts in RMB thousands, except for share and per share data)

 

1.ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

 

Automoney Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands on December 2, 2014. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Group") are specialized in rendering automobile performance solution service in People’s Republic of China ("PRC").

 

As of December 31, 2015, the Company's subsidiaries were as follows:

 

  

Date of

incorporation

 

Place of

incorporation

 

Legal

ownership

 
Subsidiaries:          
Automoney Hong Kong Limited  January 23, 2015  Hong Kong   100%
Shanghai Automoney Internet Technology Ltd.  May 7, 2015  PRC   100%

 

The Group mainly operates through Shanghai Automoney Internet Technology Ltd. The Group commenced its operations in May 2015. No revenue was generated during the year ended December 31, 2015 as all of its activities were relating to market and business development.

 

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(a)Basis of presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP").

 

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Group incurred a net loss of Renminbi ("RMB") 40,560 and had experienced negative cash flows from operating activities in the amount of RMB38,793 for the year ended December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, the Group had an accumulated deficit of RMB40,560. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to these matters are as follows:

 

The Group has ceased its operation since January 2016. The management of the Group has no plan to liquidate the legal entities within the Group and is currently evaluating other feasible business plans. No decision has been made on the Group's future operations.
  
Pursuant to a letter of undertaking from the Company's majority shareholder, the majority shareholder has agreed to provide adequate funds for the Group to meet in full its financial obligations as and when they fall due for two years from December 31, 2015. In addition, pursuant to the letter of undertaking, the majority shareholder has agreed not to seek settlement of the amount owed by the Group to it as of December 31, 2015 until the Company is able to do so.
  
As a result, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Group will continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to the recoverability and reclassification of assets and liabilities as that might be necessary if the Group is unable to continue as a going concern.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

 

(b)Use of estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Group's management reviews these estimates based on information that is currently available. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Group to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimate reflected in the Group's consolidated financial statements is the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

 

(c)Concentration of credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. As of December 31, 2015, substantially all of the Group's cash was held in major financial institutions located in the PRC, which management considers being of high credit quality.

 

(d)Foreign currency translation

 

The functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“US$”). The functional currency of the Group’s entities incorporated in Hong Kong is Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”). The functional currency of the Group’s subsidiaries in PRC is RMB.

 

Transactions in currencies other than the applicable functional currencies during the year are converted into the functional currencies at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing at the transaction dates. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currencies are translated into the functional currencies at the prevailing rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into the applicable functional currencies at historical exchange rates. All such exchange gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Electronic equipment 3 years

 

(g)Sales and marketing expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising expenses, marketing and promotion expenses, costs of payroll and related compensation for the Group's sales and marketing personnel as well as their related marketing and promotion expenses.

 

(h)General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related compensation for employees in management and administration functions, office rental, professional service fees and other general corporate expenses.

(i)Income taxes

 

The Group accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The tax base of an asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion.

 

The Group recognizes a tax benefit associated with an uncertain tax position when, in management's judgment, it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. The Group has elected to classify interest and penalties related to an uncertain tax position, if any and when required, as general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Group did not record any interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as there were no uncertain tax positions.

 

(j) Fair value

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In determining fair value, a three level hierarchy is established for inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
   
Level 2 inputs are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities;
   
Level 3 inputs are unobservable and reflect significant assumptions.

 

When available, the Group uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of an asset or liability. If quoted market prices are not available, the Group measures fair value using valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently-sourced market parameters, such as interest rates and currency rates.

 

The Group’s financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, other current liabilities, and amount due to a shareholder. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturity.

 

The Group did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for the periods presented.

(k) Comprehensive loss

 

Comprehensive loss is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. For the periods presented, the Group’s comprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

 

(l) Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue and create common revenue recognition guidance between US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date". The amendments in this ASU defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Group is still in the process of evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)". This update requires an entity to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key information about the entity's leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early application permitted. A modified retrospective approach is required. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
