SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” (as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that reflect our current expectations and views of future events. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the section of this report entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” You can identify some of these forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “is/are likely to,” “potential,” “continue” or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning our expected financial performance and our ability to operate our business and execute our anticipated business plans and strategy. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Although we believe that our expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may later be found to be incorrect. Our actual results of operations or the results of other matters that we anticipate herein could be materially different from our expectations. Accordingly, readers are cautioned that significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include:

 

our ability to continue as a going concern and to meet our financial obligations as they become due;

 

  our ability to obtain additional capital, in particular while we are in default under various of our obligations, including certain of our indebtedness, which will be necessary to continue our business and operations;

 

  our limited operating history under our current business model and history of net losses;

 

  our ability to sell our platform offerings to new guests and hosts;

 

  our ability to retain and expand use of our platform by our existing guests and hosts;

 

  our ability to effectively manage our growth;

 

  our ability to successfully obtain timely returns on our investments in initiatives relating to sales and marketing, research and development, and other areas;

 

  our ability to maintain our competitive advantages;

 

  our ability to maintain and expand our partner ecosystem;

 

  our ability to maintain the security of our platform and the security and privacy of customer data;

 

  our ability to successfully expand in our existing markets and into new markets;

 

ii

 

  the attraction and retention of qualified employees and key personnel;

 

  our ability to successfully defend litigation that has been and may in the future be brought against us;

 

  the impact of pandemics, inflation, war, other hostilities, and other disruptive events on our business or that of our customers, partners, and supply chain or on the global economy;

 

  our ability to successfully remediate and prevent material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting;

 

  our ability to comply with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq (including the requirement to maintain a minimum market value of publicly held shares of $15,000,000, a minimum bid price of $1 per share, a minimum market value of listed securities of $50,000,000 for which we have received a deficiency notice) and maintain our listing on Nasdaq; and

 

  other risks and uncertainties described under the section titled “Risk Factors” herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 15, 2024 (“Form 10-K/A”).

 

You should thoroughly read this report and the documents that we refer to with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from, and worse than, what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

 

The forward-looking statements made in this report relate only to events or information as of the date of this report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should read this report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

1.Organization, Business operation and Going concern.

 

Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. (formerly “Innovative International Acquisition Corp”) a Delaware corporation provides mobility solutions to consumers and businesses. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “the combined entity” or “Zoomcar”). The Company operates its facilitation services under the Zoomcar brand with its operations in India.

 

On December 28, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to a Merger Agreement dated October 13, 2022 by and among Innovative International Acquisition Corp (“IOAC” or “SPAC”), Innovative International Merger Sub, Inc. and Zoomcar, Inc., the parties consummated the merger of Innovative International Merger Sub, Inc. with and into Zoomcar, Inc., with Zoomcar, Inc., continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), as well as the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the Merger and such other transactions, the “Reverse Recapitalization”). In connection with the closing (the “Closing”) of the Reverse Recapitalization, Zoomcar, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of IOAC and IOAC changed its name to Zoomcar Holdings, Inc., and all of Zoomcar, Inc. common stock, convertible preferred stock and convertible notes automatically converted into shares of the Company’s common stock having a par value of $0.0001 per share. The Company’s Common Stock and Warrants commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “ZCAR” and “ZCARW,” respectively, on December 28, 2023. Refer to Note 3 to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Reverse Recapitalization.

 

Zoomcar, Inc., determined that it was the accounting acquirer in the Reverse Recapitalization based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The determination was primarily based on the following facts:

 

Zoomcar, Inc’s shareholders, prior to the Reverse Recapitalization, have the largest voting interest in the post-combination Company;

 

Zoomcar, Inc., prior to the Closing, appointed the majority of the Company’s Board of Directors (effective upon the Reverse Recapitalization, the Company’s Board consists of seven directors, including two directors designated by IOAC prior to the Closing and five directors designated by Zoomcar, Inc., prior to the Closing; four of the Company’s directors immediately after the Closing have been determined to be independent within the meaning of the independent director standards of the Securities and Exchange Commission and The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC);

 

The executive officers of Zoomcar, Inc. became the initial executive officers of the Company after the Reverse Recapitalization;

 

Zoomcar, Inc., is the larger entity, in terms of substantive operations and employee base;

ZOOMCAR HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

 

Zoomcar, Inc., will comprise the ongoing operations of the combined entity; and

 

The combined entity will continue under the name of Zoomcar Holdings, Inc.

 

Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Zoomcar, Inc., issuing stock for the net assets of IOAC. The primary asset acquired from IOAC was cash that was assumed. Separately, the Company also assumed warrants that were reclassified to equity upon close of the Reverse Recapitalization. No goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded as a result of the Reverse Recapitalization.

 

While IOAC was the legal acquirer in the Reverse Recapitalization, because Zoomcar, Inc., was deemed to be the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of Zoomcar, Inc., became the historical financial statements of the combined entity upon the consummation of the Reverse Recapitalization. As a result, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Zoomcar, Inc., prior to the Reverse Recapitalization; (ii) the results of the combined entity following the Closing of the Reverse Recapitalization; (iii) sum of the assets and liabilities of both Zoomcar, Inc., and the SPAC at their historical cost; and (iv) the combined entity’s equity structure for all periods presented.

 

The equity structure has been recast in all comparative periods up to the Closing date to reflect the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, issued to Zoomcar, Inc. shareholders in connection with the Reverse Recapitalization. As such, the shares and corresponding capital amounts and income per share related to Zoomcar, Inc. Common Stock prior to the Reverse Recapitalization have been retroactively recast as shares reflecting the exchange ratio of 0.0284 established in the Reverse Recapitalization.

 

Going concern

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss of $2,531,579 during the three months ended June 30, 2024, and cash used in operations was $1,776,412. The Company’s accumulated deficit amounts to $310,083,080 as of June 30, 2024 (March 31, 2024: $307,551,501). The Company has negative working capital of $33,848,408. In addition, the Company’s cash position is critically deficient and critical payments to the operational and financial creditors of the Company are not being made in the ordinary course of business, all of which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company expects to continue to incur net losses and have significant cash outflows from operating activities for at least the next 12 months. Management has evaluated the significance of the conditions described above in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations and concluded that, without additional funding, the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its obligations within one year from the date the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. Management’s plans with respect to these adverse financial conditions that caused management to express substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern are as follows:

 

a.In June 2024, Company entered into a letter agreement with Aegis Capital Corp. (“Aegis”) pursuant to which Aegis will act as a placement agent to the Company in connection with a proposed private placement of up to $30 million of securities of the Company which consists of Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and Series A warrants. However, this Agreement does not ensure the successful placement of any securities of the Company or the success of Aegis with respect to securing any financing on behalf of the Company. The Company has not raised any funds pursuant to this agreement.

 

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve its business plan, raise any additional capital or secure the additional financing necessary to implement its current operating plan. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to increase its revenues and eventually achieve profitable operations. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

(a)Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by US GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, or any future interim period.

 

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements follow the same significant accounting policies as those included in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2024. In the opinion of management, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the Condensed Consolidated Financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for these interim periods.

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities in which the Company is the primary beneficiary, including an entity in India and in other geographical locations. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.

 

(b)Principles of consolidation

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. and of its wholly owned subsidiaries and Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary, including an entity in India and in other geographical locations (collectively, the “Company”).

 

The Company determines, at the inception of each arrangement, whether an entity in which it has made an investment or in which it has other variable interest is considered a VIE. The Company consolidates a VIE when it is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that meets both of the following criteria:

 

i.has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE; and

 

ii.has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE.

 

Periodically, the Company determines whether any changes in its interest or relationship with the entity impact the determination of whether the entity is still a VIE and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary.

As at June 30, 2024, following are the list of subsidiaries and step-down subsidiaries:

 

Name of Entity  Place of
Incorporation
  Investor Entity  Method of
consolidation
Zoomcar, Inc.  USA  Zoomcar Holdings, Inc.  Voting Interest
Zoomcar India Private Limited  India  Zoomcar, Inc.  Voting Interest
Zoomcar Netherlands Holding B. V  Netherlands  Zoomcar, Inc.  Voting Interest
Fleet Holding Pte ltd  Singapore  Zoomcar, Inc.  Voting Interest
PT Zoomcar Indonesia Mobility Service  Indonesia  Fleet Holding Pte ltd  Voting Interest
Fleet Mobility Philippines Corporation  Philippines  Zoomcar, Inc.  Voting Interest
Zoomcar Egypt Car Rental LLC  Egypt  Zoomcar Netherlands Holding  VIE
Zoomcar Vietnam Mobility LLC  Vietnam  Fleet Holding Pte ltd  VIE

 

In determining whether the VIE model was applicable to the subsidiaries the criteria prescribed under ASC 810 were examined as below:

 

-The subsidiaries were incorporated as legal entities under the laws and regulations of the country in which they are incorporated.

 

-The scope exemptions under ASC 810 were not applicable to the entities.

 

-Zoomcar Holdings, Inc holds variable interest in all the subsidiaries by way of contribution towards equity and in the form of debt.

 

-The entities are variable interest entities for Zoomcar Holdings, Inc since the legal entities do not have sufficient equity investment at risk and equity investors at risk.

 

For the purpose of equity interests, the interests held by employees are also considered under ASC 810 since employees are considered as de-facto agents. Thus, Zoomcar Egypt Car Rental LLC, Fleet Mobility Philippines Corporation, and Zoomcar Vietnam Mobility LLC are considered as wholly owned subsidiaries of Zoomcar, Inc and step-down subsidiaries of Zoomcar Holdings, Inc

 

Through the direct and indirect interest that Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. holds in the subsidiaries, Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Accordingly, Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. is the primary beneficiary to Zoomcar Egypt Car Rental LLC and Zoomcar Vietnam Mobility LLC under the VIE model. Zoomcar, Inc., Zoomcar India Private Limited, Zoomcar Netherlands Holding B.V, Fleet Holding Pte Ltd and PT Zoomcar Indonesia Mobility Service are consolidated as per the voting interest model.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

 

On August 14, 2023, Zoomcar Vietnam Mobility LLC has voluntarily filed application for bankruptcy with the local authorities of Vietnam. In accordance with ASC 205-30, the liquidation of the VIE is imminent and thus the financial statements of VIE are prepared on a liquidation basis, which entails valuing assets at their estimated net realizable values and recording liabilities at their expected settlement amounts. Further, in accordance with ASC 810-10-15-10, the Company consolidate the VIE as the bankruptcy application is pending with the authorities in Vietnam and unless the application is admitted, the Company holds a variable interest and still is the primary beneficiary.

 

The assets/liabilities consolidated for the VIE are not material.

 

(c)Use of estimates and assumptions

 

The use of estimates and assumptions as determined by management is required in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with US GAAP. These estimates are based on management’s evaluation of historical trends and other information available when the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared and may affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

 

The significant estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include, but are not limited to; are:

 

a.Estimation of defined benefit obligation

 

b.Estimation of useful lives and residual values of property, plant & equipment, and intangible assets

 

c.Fair value measurement of financial instruments

 

d.Fair value measurement of share based payments

 

e.Leases – assumption to determine the incremental borrowing rate.

 

f.Valuation allowance on deferred tax assets

 

g.Estimation of utilization of balances with government authorities

 

(d)Revenue recognition

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Company derives its revenue principally from the following:

 

Facilitation revenue (“Host services”)

 

The Company launched its platform “Zoomcar Host Services” during the year ended March 2022. Zoomcar Host Services is a marketplace feature of the platform that helps owners of vehicles (“Hosts/ Customer/Lessors”) connect with users (“Renters/Lessee”) in temporary need of a vehicle on leasehold basis for their personal use.

ZOOMCAR HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

 

Facilitation Services revenue consists of facilitation fees charged to Hosts, net of incentives and refunds and trip protection charged to the Renters. The Company charges facilitation fees to its customers as a percentage of the value of the total booking, excluding taxes. The Company collects both the booking value on behalf of the Host and the trip protection charges from the renter. On a daily basis the Company, or its third-party payment processors, disburse the booking value to the host, less the fees due from the host to the Company. The amounts charged for trip fees for the Marketplace service vary based on factors such as the vehicle type, the day of the week, time of the trip, and the duration of the trip. Hence, the Company’s primary performance obligation in the transaction towards the Host is to facilitate the successful completion of the rental transaction and towards the renter is to offer trip protection.

 

Customer support is rendered to both the Host (customer/lessor) and the renter (lessee). Company being the intermediary between the two provides its platform through which all communication takes place related to any services e.g., extension of trip period. Such services also include the normal customer support related to any vehicle breakdowns, tracking of vehicles, renter background checks, vehicle ownership checks and various other activities which are part of an ongoing set of series required for successful listing, renting and completion of trip. These activities are not distinct from each other and are not separate performance obligations. As a result, these series of services integrate together to form a single performance obligation.

 

In case of booking value collected from the renter on behalf of the Host, the Company evaluates the presentation of revenue on a gross versus net basis based on whether or not it is the principal(gross) or the agent (net) in the transaction. The Company considers whether it controls the right to use the vehicle before control is transferred to the renter. Indicators of control that the Company considers include whether the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise associated with the booking of the vehicle, whether it has inventory risk associated with the vehicle, and whether it has discretion in establishing the prices for the vehicles booked. The Company determined that it does not establish pricing for vehicles listed on its platform and does not control the right to use the host’s vehicle at any time before, during, or after completion of a trip booked on the Company’s platform. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that it is acting in an agent capacity, and revenue is presented net reflecting the facilitation fees received from the Marketplace service. The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity’s performance as the entity performs. Revenue is recognized ratably over the trip period. The Company recognizes facilitation revenue from these performance obligations on a straight-line basis over the duration of the rental trip using the output method as its performance obligation is satisfied over time. The Company uses the output method based on rental hours or days, where revenue is calculated based on the percentage of total time elapsed in relation to total estimated rental period. In the event a user books a trip extension, at the time the extension is booked, the service revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the duration of the extension period.

 

The Company offers vehicle listing incentive programs to hosts. The incentives are recorded in accordance with ASC 606- 10-32-25 and ASC 606-10-32-27 as a reduction to revenue and in cases where the amount of incentive paid to the Host are above the facilitation fees earned from that Host on cumulative basis the excess of the revenue amount is recorded as a marketing expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. These incentives are offered as part of overall marketing strategy of the company and incentivize the hosts to refer the platform. No incentives were paid during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

 

Loyalty program

 

The Company offers loyalty program, Z-Points, wherein customers are eligible to earn loyalty points that are redeemable for payment towards facilitation fees. Under ASC 606, each transaction that generates loyalty points results in the deferral of revenue equivalent to the retail value at the date the points are earned. The associated revenue is recognized when the customer redeems the loyalty points at some time in future. The retail value of points is estimated based on the current retail value measured as of the date the loyalty points are earned, less an estimated amount representing loyalty points that are not expected to be redeemed (“breakage”). Breakage is reviewed on an annual basis and includes significant assumptions such as historical breakage trends, internal Company forecasts and extended redemption period, if any. As at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company’s deferred revenue balance amounted to $18,806 and $96,710 respectively.

 

Contract liabilities

 

Contract liabilities primarily consists of obligations to customers for advance received against bookings, revenue-share payable to customers for vehicles listed by them on Company’s portal for short-term rentals and related to Company’s points-based loyalty program.

 

(e)Accounts receivable, net of allowance

 

Accounts receivables are stated net of allowances and primarily represent corporate debtors and dues from payment gateways for amounts paid by customers. In case of corporate debtors, the payment terms generally include a credit of 30-60 days. The amounts receivable from payment gateways are settled within 2 days.

 

The Company records an allowance for credit losses for amounts owed for completed transactions that may never settle or be collected. The Company estimates its exposure to balances deemed to be uncollectible based on factors including known facts and circumstances, historical experience, and the age of the uncollected balances. Accounts receivable balances are written off against the allowance of credit losses after all means of collection has been exhausted and potential recovery is considered remote.

 

(f)Other receivables

 

Other receivables include amounts recoverable from host. The receivable from host is adjusted for an allowance on account of host which are not active on the platform for more than 90 days.

 

(g)Balances with government authorities – Input Tax Credit

 

Balances with government authorities represent the tax credit with government agencies which are recognized when the Company has performed the required services and when they meet the eligibility criteria outlined in the applicable government regulations.

 

The input tax credits are related to Indian Goods and Service Tax (“GST”). These balances are classified based on their expected period of utilization of future GST credit and GST debit that comes from domestic purchases and sales of services, respectively. If the tax credits are expected to be utilized within twelve months from the reporting date, they are classified as current assets. If the tax credits are not expected to be utilized within twelve months from the reporting date, they are classified as non-current assets.

(h)Assets held for sale

 

The Company classifies vehicles to be disposed of as held for sale in the period in which they are available for immediate sale in their present condition and the sale is probable and expected to be completed within one year. The Company initially measures assets held for sale at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and assesses their fair value annually until disposed. The fair value of Assets held for sale not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an asset are observable, the Valuation is included in Level 2.

 

The Company has a policy of disposing vehicles once it has crossed 120,000 kilometers (approx. 75,000 miles) in order to ensure that customer experience is maintained at a premium level. In addition, the Company also disposes vehicles early if it has met with accident and is no longer fit for use in the business once the insurance claims are realized on these vehicles.

 

In case of certain vehicles which are not sold within one year from date of classification, the Company reassess the carrying value of the assets to adjust it for the realizable value.

 

(i)Stock-based compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the fair value recognition and measurement provisions of US GAAP, which requires compensation cost for grant-date fair value of stock-based awards to be recognized over the requisite service period. The Company includes a forfeiture estimate in the amount of compensation expense being recognized based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. The fair value of stock-based awards, granted or modified, is determined on the grant date at fair value, using appropriate valuation techniques.

 

For stock options with service-based vesting conditions only, the valuation model, typically the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, incorporates various assumptions including expected stock price volatility, expected term, and risk-free rates. Stock options with graded vesting the fair- value-based measure is estimated of the entire award by using a single weighted-average expected term. The Company estimated the volatility of common stock on the date of the grant based on weighted-average historical stock price volatility of comparable publicly traded companies in its industry group. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with a term equal to the expected term. The Company estimates the term based on the simplified method for employee stock options considered to be “plain vanilla” options as the Company’s historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. The expected dividend yield is 0.0% as the Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying dividend on its common stock.

 

The Company estimates a forfeiture rate on an annual basis for the purpose of computation of stock-based compensation expense.

 

In case of cancellation of stock-based awards with no concurrent grant of a replacement award or other valuable consideration, any unrecognized compensation cost is recognized immediately on the cancellation date.

 

(j)Debt

 

The debt instruments of the Company consist of debentures and term loans from financial institutions. The Company based on available proceeds makes periodic prepayments of scheduled instalments and the same has been accounted under ASC 470-50.

 

Redeemable Promissory Notes

 

During the period ended June 30, 2024, the Company has issued Redeemable Promissory Notes which are repayable at the principal value on maturity date and has been accounted for under ASC 470-10. The Company issued these Redeemable Promissory notes on discount and incurred expenses on issue of the Redeemable Promissory Notes. As per ASC 835, the discount and the expenses incurred on issue of the Redeemable Promissory Notes have been amortized over the period of the Redeemable Promissory note on a straight-line basis. The Redeemable Promissory Notes liabilities have been presented net off the discount and issue expenses.

Debt Issuance costs

 

Debt issuance costs consist primarily of arrangement fees paid to Placement agent, professional fees and legal fees. These costs are netted off with the related debt and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the related.

 

The debt has been classified into current or non-current based on the payment terms of the debt instruments. Non-current obligations are those scheduled to mature beyond twelve months from the date of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

(k)Warrants

 

When the Company issues warrants, it evaluates the proper balance sheet classification of the warrant to determine whether the warrant should be classified as equity or as a derivative liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In accordance with ASC 815- 40, Derivatives and Hedging- Contracts in the Entity’s Own Equity (ASC 815-40), the Company classifies a warrant as equity so long as it is “indexed to the Company’s equity” and several specific conditions for equity classification are met. A warrant is not considered indexed to the Company’s equity, in general, when it contains certain types of exercise contingencies or adjustments to exercise price. If a warrant is not indexed to the Company’s equity or it has net cash settlement that results in the warrants to be accounted for under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, or ASC 815-40, it is classified as a derivative liability which is carried on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value with any changes in its fair value recognized currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

(a) Warrants issued along with Redeemable Promissory Note:

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued warrants along with Redeemable Promissory Note and as consideration to placement agents for the issuance of the Redeemable Promissory Note.

 

These warrants were classified equity in accordance with ASC 815-40 since all the conditions required for equity classification are met. Upon issuance of the warrant, the Company had allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of its Redeemable Promissory Note to the warrant based on the relative fair values of warrants and Redeemable Promissory Note in accordance with ASC 820.

 

(b) Warrants issued along with SSCPN and to placement agent (‘Derivative financial instrument’):

 

During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued warrants along with Senior Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note (“SSCPN)” and as consideration to placement agents for the issuance of SSCPN.

ZOOMCAR HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

 

These warrants were derivative in accordance with ASC 815-10-15-83 since they contained an underlying, had cash less payment provisions, that could have been net settled in shares and had a very minimal initial net investment. Accordingly, the derivatives were measured at fair value and subsequently revalued at each reporting date until the close of Reverse Recapitalization consummated during year ended March 31, 2024.

 

(c) Warrants issued to preferred stockholders:

 

The Company also had preferred stocks and common stocks warrants issued during the year ended March 31, 2022, and were classified as liabilities and equity respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024.

 

Each unit of Series E preferred stock issued by the Company consisted of one Series E preferred stock and a warrant which entitled the holder to purchase one share of common stock of the Company on the satisfaction of certain conditions. Warrants were also issued to placement agencies of the Series E and Series E1 which included the following two categories: a) warrants to purchase common stock of the company; and b) warrants to purchase Series E and Series E1 shares.

 

Warrants to be converted into common stock:

 

The Company’s warrants to purchase common stock were classified as equity. Upon issuance of the warrant, the Company had allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of its preferred stock to the warrant based on the relative fair values of warrants and preferred stock.

 

Warrants to be converted into preferred stock (“Preferred stock warrant liability”):

 

The Company’s warrants to purchase convertible preferred stock were classified as a liability and were held at fair value as the warrants were exercisable for contingently redeemable preferred stock, which was classified outside of stockholders’ deficit.

 

The warrant instruments classified as liabilities were subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value was recognized as a component of finance costs.

 

The Company continued to adjust the liability classified warrant for changes in the fair value until the Reverse Recapitalization transaction at which time the warrants were reclassified to additional paid-in-capital.

(l)Financial liabilities measured at fair value

 

Convertible Promissory notes (“Notes”), Senior Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note (“SSCPN”) and Unsecured Convertible Note (“Atalaya Note”)

 

During the year ended March 31, 2024 the Company issued Notes and SSCPN. The Company evaluated the balance sheet classification for these instruments into debt or equity, and accounting for conversion feature. As per ASC 480-10-25-14, the Notes and SSCPN were classified as liabilities because the Company intended to settle them by issuing variable number of shares with a fixed and known monetary value at the time of inception. However, the Company had elected fair value option for these Notes and SSCPN, as discussed below and thus did not bifurcate the embedded conversion feature.

 

Fair Value Option (“FVO”) Election

 

The Company accounted for Notes and SSCPN under the fair value option election of ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC-825”) as discussed below.

 

The Notes and SSCPN accounted under the FVO election which were debt host financial instruments containing conversion features which otherwise would be required to be assessed for bifurcation from the debt-host and recognized as separate derivative liabilities subject to measurements under ASC 815. Notwithstanding, ASC 825-10-15-4 provides for the “fair value option” (“FVO”) election, to the extent not otherwise prohibited by ASC 825-10-15- 5, to be afforded to financial instruments, wherein bifurcation of an embedded derivative is not necessary, and the financial instrument is initially measured at its issue-date estimated fair value and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date.

 

The estimated fair value adjustment, as required by ASC 825-10-45-5, was recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) with respect to the portion of the fair value adjustment attributed to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk, with the remaining amount of the fair value adjustment recognized under Finance costs shown as “Change in fair value of Notes” and “Change in fair value of SSCPN” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. With respect to the above Notes and SSCPN, as provided for by ASC 825-10-50- 30(b), the estimated fair value adjustments were presented as a separate line item in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, since the change in fair value of the Notes and SSCPN payable were not attributable to instrument specific credit risk.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2024, as a result of consummation of the Business Combination by way of Reverse Recapitalization, the Notes and SSCPN outstanding were converted into 5,975,686 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

ZOOMCAR HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

 

The SSCPN and Notes were adjusted for their carrying value through Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as on date of Reverse Recapitalization and credited at carrying value to the capital accounts upon conversion to reflect the stock issued.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured convertible note (“Atalaya Note) which had features similar to that of SSCPN and were accounted accordingly as enumerated above.

 

(m)Net profit/(loss) per share attributable to common stockholders

 

The Company computes net profit/(loss) per share using the two-class method required for participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all the income for the period had been distributed. The Company’s convertible preferred stock is participating security. The holders of the convertible preferred stock would be entitled in preference to common shareholders, at specified rate, if declared.

 

Then any remaining earnings would be distributed to the holders of common stock and convertible preferred stock on a pro-rata basis assuming conversion of all convertible preferred stock into common stock. This participating security do not contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in the Company’s losses. As such, net losses for the periods presented were not allocated to the Company’s participating securities.

 

The Company’s basic profit/(loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The diluted profit/(loss) per share is computed by considering the impact of potential issuance of common stock on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, except where the results would be anti- dilutive.

 

(n)Provisions and accrued expenses.

 

A provision is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are recognized at present value by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money.

 

Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract. The Company does not have any onerous contracts.

(o)Fair value measurements and financial instruments

 

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 at the measurement date. In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), the Company uses the fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy, as defined below, gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are set forth below:

 

  Level 1

Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

     
  Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs other than the quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly for the full term of assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 3 Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s primary financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivables, other financial assets, accounts payable, debt, unsecured convertible note, redeemable promissory note and other financial liabilities. The estimated fair value of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, redeemable promissory note and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying value due to short-term maturities of these instruments.

 

(p)Segment information

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. The Company’s CODM is its Board of Directors. The Company has determined it has one operating and reportable segment as the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.

3Reverse Recapitalization

 

As discussed in Note 1, “Organization and Business Operation”, on the Closing Date, Zoomcar, Inc. completed the acquisition of IOAC and Zoomcar, Inc. received cash of $5,770,630 and assumed liabilities amounting to $21,499,578 (including $17,100,000 settled by issuance of common stock of the Company) which were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for the year ended March 31, 2024. Further, unsecured promissory notes of $3,259,208 were assumed. As of March 31, 2024, the Company recorded $10,947,805 of transaction costs, which consisted of legal, accounting, and other professional services related to the Reverse Recapitalization, of which $4,804,482 was related to common stock issued during the Reverse Recapitalization and was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. The cash outflows related to these costs were presented as financing activities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In addition, upon closing of the Reverse Recapitalization, certain employees received a one-time transaction bonus for an aggregate amount of $392,725, which was to be paid in cash. This bonus is included in compensation and benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the year ended March 31, 2024.

 

On the Closing Date, each then-outstanding IOAC ordinary share was cancelled and converted into one share of common stock of the registrant, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and each then-outstanding IOAC warrant was assumed and converted automatically into a warrant of the Company, exercisable for shares of Common Stock. Additionally, outstanding units of the IOAC were separated into their component parts, and outstanding IOAC Class B shares were converted into Class A shares on a 1-for-1 basis. As of the Closing Date, upon consummation of the Reverse Recapitalization, the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the IOAC are shares of Common Stock. See Note 21, “Common Stock ” and Note 17, “Warrants”, for additional details of the Company’s stockholders’ equity prior to and subsequent to the Reverse Recapitalization.

 

All equity awards of Zoomcar, Inc. were assumed by the Company and converted into comparable equity awards that are settled or exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, each outstanding stock option of Zoomcar, Inc. was converted into an option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock based on the Exchange Ratio and each outstanding warrant of Zoomcar, Inc. was converted into a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock based on the Exchange Ratio.

 

As additional consideration for the acquisition of Zoomcar, Inc. securities, at the Closing, IOAC issued and deposited into an escrow account established for this purpose (the “Earnout Escrow Account”) 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Earnout Shares”) to be held in the Earnout Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of an earnout escrow agreement. The Original Earnout Terms were modified pursuant to the terms and provisions set forth in the Post-Closing Amendment, effective immediately upon the adoption of the Post-Closing Amendment on December 29, 2023 resulting in the Earnout Shares becoming distributable to stockholders in accordance with the terms of the Reverse Recapitalization Agreement.

 

The equity structure has been recast in all comparative periods up to the Closing date to reflect the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, issued to Zoomcar, Inc. shareholders in connection with the Reverse Recapitalization. As such, the shares and corresponding capital amounts and loss per share related to Zoomcar, Inc. Common Stock prior to the Reverse Recapitalization have been retroactively recast as shares reflecting the exchange ratio of 0.0284 established in the Reverse Recapitalization.

 

In connection with Reverse Recapitalization, then-outstanding 11,500,000 public warrants of IOAC were assumed and converted automatically into a warrant of the Company on the closing. Public warrants entitled each holder to the right to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.71 per share and classified as equity instruments.

As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the principal balances and fair values of the SSCPN were $NIL.

 

The warrants issued with the SSCPN were classified as derivative financial liabilities. The Company remeasured the Warrants at each balance sheet date to fair value. On the Closing Date of Reverse Recapitalization, the Warrants were reclassified to equity-classified common stock warrants. As a result, the Warrants were adjusted to fair value through Condensed Consolidated Statement Of Operations on reclassification which resulted in a gain of $6,571,082 for the year ended March 31, 2024. The carrying value was then adjusted in the additional paid-in capital.

 

The term and conditions of the SSCPN, warrants issued with SSCPNs, and placement agent warrants issued during the year ended March 31, 2024 was as follows:

 

Terms of SSCPN:

 

The Notes carried a simple interest rate of 6% per annum, with a maturity term of two years from the date of the initial closing (i.e., March 23, 2023) (the ‘Maturity Date’). They embodied a variable- share obligation upon their conversion. The Notes issued by the Company were convertible into common stock at an aggregate price of principal, including interest accrued up to the date of conversion.

 

The Notes were convertible either automatically or voluntarily into Common Stock of the Company. Since the SPAC merger was consummated prior to the maturity date, it was converted via automatic conversion route. As per the terms of automatic conversion immediately prior to the closing of the SPAC Merger, the outstanding principal amount of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note that has accrued as of the date have been automatically converted into a number of fully paid common stock at the conversion price as defined in the agreement.

  

Terms of Warrants issued with SSCPN :

 

The warrants were exercisable from the completion of any event that results in the Company (or the surviving corporation) being subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and its (or the surviving corporation’s capital stock) capital stock trading on a national securities exchange, OTC Markets or Pink Sheets (any of the foregoing, a “Public Event”). The warrants had an expiry of five years from the effective date of any Public Event.

 

If the warrants were exercised prior to the automatic conversion of the SSCPN, the exercise price would have been a fixed amount, as defined in the agreement, divided by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of Public Event. In case warrants were exercised concurrently with or following the automatic conversion of the SSCPN, exercise price is the amount equal to the conversion price.

 

In case of recapitalization of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, shall be effected in a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, or other assets or property (an “Organic Change”), then, as a condition of such Organic Change, that the Company would made adequate provisions whereby the Holder hereof shall have the right to adjust number of shares receivable on such event according to the conversion price determined for issuance of shares to other common stockholders.

 

The Company's Warrants to purchase common stock were initially classified as a derivative liability ("Derivative financial instrument") which was then reclassified to equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for the year ended March 31, 2024. 

 

Warrants to SSCPN placement agent:

 

The placement agent was compensated with a cash fee and was also issued agent warrants to purchase 10% of the shares of the Company capital stock issuable upon : a) Conversion of Notes at an exercise price equal to the conversion price of the Notes and b) Exercise of the warrants at an exercise price equal to the exercise price of the warrants.

 

The terms of the warrants issued to the placement agents are similar to the warrants issued to the investors as mentioned above.

 

In accordance with ASC 815-40, the warrants issuable to Placement agent on satisfaction of above contingencies are considered as issued and are accounted accordingly. These were accounted as per ASC 480 as liability since the Company intended to settle them by issuing variable number of shares with a fixed and known monetary value at the time of inception. These warrants were classified as a derivative liability (“derivative financial instrument”) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and were held at fair value till the date of Reverse Recapitalization. On date of Reverse Recapitalization, these warrants were reclassified to equity.

Terms of notes

 

In December 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with ACM Zoomcar Convert LLC (the “Purchaser” or “Atalaya”) relating to an unsecured convertible note (the ‘Atalaya Note’), obligations under which after the Closing, a Convertible Note for $8,434,605 (the “Original Note Principal Amount”), in connection with certain transaction expenses associated with the Reverse Recapitalization that were incurred but paid at the Closing was issued.

 

The Atalaya Note is subject to an original issue discount equal to 7.5% of the principal amount of the Note. The Atalaya Note bears an interest of 8%.

 

Commencing at the end of the month in which Company’s Registration Statement, for registering the shares issued under Reverse Recapitalization, is declared effective, the Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, require the Company to pay the Purchaser, in monthly installments of amounts equal to one twelfth (1/12) of the Original Note Principal Amount, until the total principal amount of the Note has been paid in full, prior to or on the maturity date or, if earlier, upon acceleration, conversion or prepayment of the Note in accordance with its terms. Such monthly payments shall be made in cash or in shares of Common Stock, subject to certain further conditions set forth in the Atalaya Note. In connection with any monthly payments made in Common Stock, the number of shares required to be delivered by the Company shall be determined by dividing the monthly payment amount by the lower of (i) the Conversion Price or (ii) the Amortization Conversion Price (each as defined below). The Note Purchaser shall also have the right, to convert all or any portion of the Atalaya Note, at the Conversion Price, at the Amortization Conversion Price, up to an amount equal to 25% of the highest trading day value of shares of Common Stock on a daily basis during the 20 trading days preceding the applicable Conversion Date, or a greater amount upon obtaining the Company’s prior written consent.

 

“Amortization Conversion Price” means the lower of (i) the Conversion Price, and (ii) a 7.5% discount to the lowest VWAP over the 20 trading days immediately preceding the applicable payment date or other date of determination, subject to the terms of the Note. The “Conversion Price” of the Atalaya Note, immediately after the Original Note Issuance Date is $10.00, provided, however, that Conversion Price is subject to adjustment under various circumstances, including in the event of a future issuance of Common Stock at a price that is lower than the then Conversion Price, and other circumstances, subject in all cases to a conversion floor price of $0.25 (the “Conversion Floor”), provided, that if the Conversion Price or the Amortization Conversion Price is lower than the Conversion Floor, the amount due to the holder of the Note upon an applicable Conversion Date shall be made in cash, in lieu of shares, unless otherwise agreed by the Note Purchaser and the Company.

 

On May 22, 2024, the Company received a notice from Atalaya stating that the Company is in default of the terms of the Atalaya Note, since the Company has entered into an equity line arrangement with White Lion Capital LLC, a variable rate transaction, without the prior consent of Atalaya.

 

Further, on June 25, 2024, the Company has received another notice of default from Atalaya as the Company has incurred indebtedness in the form of $3,600,000 in principal amount of notes in a transaction involving Aegis Capital Corp. acting as the placement agent prior to which, the consent of Atalaya was not obtained.

 

As per the terms of the Atalaya Note, in the event of any default, all accrued but unpaid Interest plus liquidated damages and other amounts thereof, shall become immediately due and payable in cash. The Company is in discussion with Atalaya on this matter to settle the same and therefore has classified all the payment due to Atalaya as current liability.

 

Additionally, during the year ended March 31, 2024, 164,000 registered and unrestricted shares of Common Stock were issued and delivered to Midtown Madison Management LLC, the service provider of the Atalaya Note Purchaser. This was accounted at the fair value of the shares issued amounting to $492,000 in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Upon the closing of the Reverse Recapitalization, 112,660,583 shares of Zoomcar Inc. Series Seed, A, A2, B, C, D, E, and E-1 Preferred Stock were converted into Common Stock of the Company at the exchange ratio of 0.0284. Shares Authorized and Shares Issued above have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the exchange. As a result of the conversion of Zoomcar, Inc. convertible Preferred Stock, the Company reclassified the amount of convertible Preferred Stock to additional paid in capital above their par value.

 

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination by way of a Reverse Recapitalization, the Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. The Company has no Preferred Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024.

 

22(b)  Redeemable non-controlling interests

 

Series P1 and P2 Preferred stock represents the minority preferred stockholders ownership in the Indian subsidiary of the Company, which was classified as a redeemable non- controlling interest, because it was redeemable on a deemed liquidation event that was outside of its control. The redeemable non-controlling interest was not accreted to redemption value because then it was not probable that the non-controlling interest will become redeemable.

 

The Company did not attribute the pro rata share of the Indian subsidiary’s loss to the redeemable non-controlling interests because these shares were entitled to a liquidation preference and therefore did not participate in losses that would cause their interest to be below the liquidation preference. Upon liquidation, these preferred stocks were entitled to the greater of either (i) the Original issue price for such series plus any dividend declared but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of such series been converted into common stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or deemed liquidation event.

 

There was no further issue of preferred stock in the Indian subsidiary after initial issuance and on the close of the Reverse Recapitalization, these Redeemable non-controlling interests have been converted into Common Stock of the Company at the Exchange Ratio of 0.0284.
