AERWINS TECHNOLOGIES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2023
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
AERWINS Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “AERWINS”) together with its wholly owned subsidiary AERWINS, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, A.L.I. Technologies Inc., a Japanese corporation (“ALI”) is the developer and manufacturer of air mobility platform, COSMOS (Centralized Operating System for Managing Open Sky), and the XTURISMO Limited Edition Hoverbike. All refences in this report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “AERWINS” include both AERWINS and ALI.
Pono Capital Corp Merger
On February 3, 2023, we consummated a merger (the “Merger”) with Pono Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, then called Pono Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Pono”) with and into AERWINS, Inc. (formerly named AERWINS Technologies Inc.), a Delaware corporation pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of September 7, 2022 (as amended on January 19, 2023, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Pono, Merger Sub, AERWINS, Mehana Equity LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor” or “Purchaser Representative”) in its capacity as the representative of the stockholders of Pono, and Shuhei Komatsu in his capacity as the representative of the stockholders of AERWINS, Inc. (“Seller Representative”). The Merger and other transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, the “Business Combination”) closed on February 3, 2023 when pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into AERWINS, Inc. with AERWINS, Inc. surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pono, and Pono changed its name to “AERWINS Technologies Inc.” and the business of the Company became the business of AERWINS, Inc., and this business section primarily includes information regarding the AERWINS’, Inc. business.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). AERWINS was determined to be the accounting acquirer and Pono was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the financial statements of the combined company represent a continuation of the financial statements of AERWINS.
On February 2, 2023, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”) with AERWINS, Inc., and certain investors (collectively referred to herein as the “Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Purchasers agreed to purchase an aggregate shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of AERWINS, Inc. which was immediately exchanged for Public Shares upon the consummation of the Business Combination in exchange for an aggregate sum of $ (the “Purchase Price”) with the Purchase Price being paid to AERWINS, Inc. prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”). Effective immediately prior to the Closing, AERWINS, Inc. issued the Shares to the Purchasers and thereafter immediately upon the Closing, the Shares were exchanged for the Public Shares, and the Public Shares were issued as a registered issuance of securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to an effective registration filed by the Company on Form S-4 which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 13, 2023.
On
February 3, the Company received from the Business Combination with Pono net cash of $

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal
course of business. As of and for the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company has incurred net loss from continuing operations of
$
Although the Company is attempting to commence operations and generate sufficient revenue, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support the Company’s daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of debt, or a private or public offering. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to commence operations and generate sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of debt, or a public or private offering. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Information
The accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023, the interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and the related notes to such interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2023 and the Company’s consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, the management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property and equipment, the impairment of long-lived assets, and valuation allowance of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| 9 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits in banks that are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable, net represent the amounts that the Company has an unconditional right to consideration, which are stated at the original amount less an allowance for doubtful receivables. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. The Company usually determines the adequacy of reserves for doubtful accounts based on individual account analysis and historical collection trends. The Company establishes a provision for doubtful receivables when there is objective evidence that the Company may not be able to collect amounts due. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual exposures, as well as a provision on historical trends of collections. The provision is recorded against accounts receivables balances, with a corresponding charge recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Delinquent account balances are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is remote. In circumstances in which the Company receives payment for accounts receivable that have previously been written off, the Company reverses the allowance and bad debt.
Inventories
Inventories
consist principally of raw materials used for rendering computing sharing services and for manufacturing hoverbikes. Work in progress
represents the costs incurred to date on unfinished products or services. The costs recognized as work in progress include direct materials,
direct labor, and overhead costs that are directly attributable to the production of the unfinished product or service. Inventories are
stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined by the first-in, first-out method for merchandise. Net realizable
value is calculated at estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal,
and transportation. Loss from inventories written down to net realizable value should be recognized whenever the utility of goods is
impaired by damage, deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes. When inventories have been written down below
cost, the reduced amount is to be considered the cost for subsequent accounting purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, inventory write-downs of $
Fixed assets
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, as more details follow:
| Depreciation Method | Useful Life | |||
| Building and building accessories | Straight-line method | |||
| Office equipment and furniture | Straight-line method | |||
| Software | Straight-line method | |||
| Design right | Straight-line method | |||
| Patent right | Straight-line method |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
| 10 |
Lease-Lessee
In accordance with the Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) the Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. Lease terms of certain operating leases include the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain.
The Company leases office facilities, office equipment and furniture, and a vehicle, which are classified as operating leases and leases containers, which are classified as a finance lease in accordance with Topic 842. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities, current, and operating lease liabilities, non-current, and finance leases are included in property and equipment, finance lease liabilities, current, and finance lease liabilities, non-current in the consolidated balance sheet.
The operating lease right-of-use asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. All operating lease right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment annually.
As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments.
The Company has elected the short-term lease exception, and therefore operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets with finite lives, primarily property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are below the asset’s carrying value, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and written down to its fair value.
Equity Method
We apply the equity method to an investment in unconsolidated entities over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence. We initially record our investments based on the acquisition cost. Under the equity method, the carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the Company’s share of net assets of the investment.

| Name of Subsidiary | Place of Organization | September 30, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | |||||||||

Warrant Liabilities
We account for the Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40 — Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815), under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations. The Placement Warrants, Public Warrants, and Debt Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a Black Scholes model.
Share-based Compensation
We account for the share-based compensation in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 — “Compensation – Stock Compensation” and ASC 505, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Convertible Promissory Notes and Derivative Instruments
The Company accounts for the fair value of the conversion feature in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815, which requires the Company to bifurcate and separately account for the conversion feature as an embedded derivative contained in the Company’s convertible promissory note. Accordingly, we account for the conversion option as an embedded derivative contained in the Company’s promissory note at fair value. The derivative liability is required to be remeasured at each reporting date and the change in fair value is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.

Foreign Currency Translation
The Company maintains its books and record in its local currency, Japanese YEN (“JPY”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operation is conducted. 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.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”), and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statements”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, 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 the translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within the statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit.
Translation of amounts from the local currency of the Company into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates:
Nine months ended September 30, (unaudited) | Year ended December 31, | |||||||||||
| 2023 | 2022 | 2022 | ||||||||||
| Current JPY: US$1 exchange rate | ||||||||||||
| Average JPY: US$1 exchange rate | ||||||||||||
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
In accordance with FASB ASC 830-230, “Statement of Cash Flows”, cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the functional currency. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.
To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps : (i) identify the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Revenue amount represents the invoiced value and net of a value-added tax (“Consumption Tax”). The Consumption Tax on sales is calculated at 10% of gross sales.
When another party is involved in providing goods or services to our customer, we apply the principal versus agent guidance in ASC Topic 606 to determine if we are the principal or an agent to the transaction. When we control the specified goods or services before they are transferred to our customer, we report revenue gross, as principal. If we do not control the goods or services before they are transferred to our customer, revenue is reported net of the fees paid to the other party, as agent.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues primarily consists of salaries and related expenses (e.g. bonuses, employee benefits, and payroll taxes) for personnel directly involved in the delivery of services and products directly to customers. Cost of revenues also includes royalty/license payments to vendors, hosting and infrastructure costs related to the delivery of the Company’s products and services, and inventory write-down.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising
expenses consist primarily of costs of promotion and marketing for the Company’s image and products, and costs of direct advertising,
and are included in selling expenses. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred, in accordance with the ASC 720-35, “Advertising
Costs”. The advertising expenses for nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (unaudited) were $
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts and other receivables. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of the financial condition and payment practices of its customers to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.

Comprehensive Income or Loss
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income or loss, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income or loss as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation.
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common shares were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common shares that could share in the earnings (loss) of the Company.

Related Parties and Transactions
The Company identifies related parties, and accounts for, discloses related party transactions in accordance with ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures” and other relevant ASC standards.
Parties, which can be an entity or individual, are considered to be related if they have the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the Company or exercise significant influence over the Company in making financial and operational decisions. Entities are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current period and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets also include the prior years’ net operating losses carried forward. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company follows ASC 740, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures.
Under the provisions of ASC 740, when tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company performs fair value measurements in accordance with ASC 820. 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. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. An asset’s or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
| ● | Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; | |
| ● | Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly; or | |
| ● | Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair values of the assets or liabilities. |

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes related thereto which are included in “Item 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) on March 31, 2023.
Overview
AERWINS Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “AERWINS”) through its subsidiaries is developing the XTURISMO Limited Edition Hoverbike (the “XTURISMO”). Following an evaluation of the viability of other areas of the Company’s business which it considers non-core in light of its limited working capital and desire to further enhance its core business of developing the XTURISMO Ltd. hoverbike, the Company is considering strategic alternatives for the non-core operations of its wholly owned indirect subsidiary, A.L.I. Technologies Inc., a Japanese corporation (“ALI”) including, but not limited to, possible sale or other disposition of these assets. The non-core areas of the Company’s business include the COSMOS unmanned traffic management system, including further development of advancements to this system and the shared computing service business. All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “AERWINS” include both AERWINS and ALI, except that references to the “Company” “we,” “us,” or “Pono” in this Item 2 refer to Aerwins Technologies Inc. f/k/a Pono Capital Corp.
We were originally incorporated in Delaware on February 12, 2021 under the name “Pono Capital Corp” as a special purpose acquisition company, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On August 13, 2021, we consummated an initial public offering. On February 3, 2023, we consummated a merger (the “Merger”) with Pono Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, then called Pono Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Pono”) with and into AERWINS, Inc. (formerly named AERWINS Technologies Inc.), a Delaware corporation pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of September 7, 2022 (as amended on January 19, 2023, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Pono, Merger Sub, AERWINS, Mehana Equity LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor” or “Purchaser Representative”) in its capacity as the representative of the stockholders of Pono, and Shuhei Komatsu in his capacity as the representative of the stockholders of AERWINS, Inc. (“Seller Representative”). The Merger and other transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, the “Business Combination”) closed on February 3, 2023 when pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into AERWINS, Inc. with AERWINS, Inc. surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pono, and Pono changed its name to “AERWINS Technologies Inc.” and the business of the Company became the business of AERWINS, Inc. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Pono Capital Corp was treated as the acquired company and AERWINS, Inc. was treated as the acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes.
The Business Combination occurred during the period for which the financial information herein is presented. The financial information included in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” reflects the historical operations of the Company prior to the Business Combination and the combined operations after the Business Combination, unless otherwise noted. For additional information on the Business Combination please see the “Explanatory Note” on page 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For additional information on the corporate history of our Company please see the section titled “Corporate History” on page 70 of our Annual Report.
Business Overview
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on June 9, 2022. We conduct business activities principally through our 100%-owned subsidiary, A. L. I. Technologies Inc., a Japanese corporation (“A. L. I. Technologies”), which was established in Japan in September 2016 and was acquired by us in August, 2022.
We are developing our air mobility business with the aim of contributing to society as a global company that leads the air mobility society by continuing to develop the XTURISMO. This hoverbike is a manifestation of the dream of air mobility that endeavors to create an entirely new way to experience the world, enabling users to feel the joy and pleasure of moving freely in space.
| 26 |
To achieve this goal, we have established a United States subsidiary in Los Angeles, California to pursue the redesign of the XTURISMO. These plans are intended to position the XTURISMO more favorably for wider markets, including the United States and Europe and to seek certification of the XTURISMO by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”). The redesign is expected to include an alternative powerplant and fuel source, airframe stabilization, use of more efficient rotors with safety features, an upgraded driver seat and enclosure, use of a harness-based wiring system and redesigned onboard electronic systems, among other things.
This initiative will be led by our Executive Chairman and President, Kiran Sidhu. Mr. Sidhu plans to lead a dedicated U.S. based team that will focus on obtaining FAA approval for XTURISMO and managing necessary redesigns. Among the recent steps Mr. Sidhu has taken on this project include discussions with an FAA-certified manufacturer with expertise in helicopter system design and the identification of additional FAA-certified companies that are expected to join the project. We believe that utilizing FAA-certified companies offers an increased level of technical and engineering and financial support that will enable us to implement the enhancements to the XTURISMO and thus expand its potential to enter new markets.
Mr. Sidhu has agreed to provide the Company with up to $300,000 in working capital to launch the initial phase of this redesign initiative by way of an interest-free demand loan. He strongly believes in the potential of XTURISMO and is committed to its success and has agreed to personally provide seed financing to jump start our planned redesign.
Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and Indeed.com reveal that the Los Angeles metropolitan area is home to the highest number of aerospace engineers in the U.S., with over 4,000 aerospace engineers. The region potentially employs over 50,000 professionals in the aerospace and defense sector. Prominent aerospace entities like Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, SpaceX in Hawthorne, and NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center in Palmdale are nearby, and major aerospace corporations, including Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon, have a local presence.
Discontinued Operations
As of September 30, 2023 we discontinued providing drone photography services and joint research and development services previously provided within our unmanned air mobility business. Current estimated costs and charges to be incurred in connection with discontinuing of this portion of our drone service business are not material.
Following an evaluation of the viability of other areas of the business which we consider non-core in light of its limited working capital and desire to further enhance its core business of developing the XTURISMO hoverbike, we are considering strategic alternatives for the non-core operations including, but not limited to, possible sale or other disposition of these assets. The non-core areas of the business include the COSMOS unmanned traffic management system, including further development of advancements to this system and the shared computing service business. The Company has not been able to make a reasonable estimate of the results these changes will have on its business and financial statements.

Key Factors that Affect Our Results of Operations
Our business is affected by many factors which we discuss under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Commission on March 31, 2023, and in subsequent filings. The following are a few of those key factors that may affect our financial condition and results of operations:
Our Purported Product Superiority.
Both hardware and software technologies are key factors intended to strengthen our competitive advantages. Regarding hardware, we developed air mobility CFRP material for XTURISMO which reduced the weight of the open propeller and its body. CFRP is also easy to process and corresponds to various designs and has strong resistance to dust and salt air. We also developed an original body and steering wheel which enables a driver to drive manually easier. The original hybrid engine has high power generation with low revolution and electric supply support to control the device system. Regarding software, the stability control of XTURISMO assists driving using sensor fusion surrounding the body and links with the cloud in real time through encrypted driving and control data communication. Also, C.O.S.M.O.S., the air traffic control platform connects with each hoverbike and provides flight and network management. These hardware and software solutions are all made in Japan.
Our Ability to Expand International Market
We are seeking to promote global expansion using partnerships, and our ability to succeed in this endeavor will affect our results of operations. Especially in the Gulf Cooperation Council, we have partners for creating the business in the area and will aim to raise funds which we believe will enable us to establish an office and R&D center in the area. We also expect that the area can be a distribution, manufacturing and marketing hub for the vehicles. After that or at the same time, we plan to expand sales channels to other regions, including the United States. Also, in order to facilitate such global expansion, we plan to acquire human resources in various countries outside of Japan.
Our Ability to Control Costs and Expenses and Improve Our Operating Efficiency
We are aiming to establish a highly profitable structure for the mass production of hovercrafts by using a fabless model which focuses on design and supply chain control. We plan to select subcontractors and suppliers appropriately based on cost, quality, and delivery date, and we will seek to build an efficient production system. We also hope to sign a partnership agreement with a local government to implement hovercrafts in society. We aim to reduce the cost of developing advanced technologies and implementing our products in society by utilizing subsidies as part of such support.
A Severe or Prolonged Slowdown in the Global and Japan Economy Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Business and Our Financial Condition
In recent years, the economic indicators in Japan have shown mixed signs, and future growth of the Japanese economy is subject to many factors beyond our control. The Japanese economy is gradually recovering due to the effects of various government policies which encourage the transition to the post-COVID society. However, it is necessary to note downside risks due to fluctuations in the financial markets, price increases, and supply-chain constraints as global monetary tightening is progressing. Any future deterioration of the Japanese or global economy may result in a decline in consumption that would have a negative impact on demand for our products and their prices.

Revenue
Our total revenues decreased by $169,845, or 82.1% to $36,908 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $206,753 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in our revenues was mainly due to a decrease in sales from shared computing business.

Gross Loss
Our total gross loss increased by $1,295,511, or 890.8%, to $1,440,937 of loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $145,426 of loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022. $1,487,493 of inventory write-down was included in cost of revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Results from Discontinued Operations
As at September 30, 2023, to facilitate cost reduction plan, the Company discontinued providing drone photography services and joint research and development services previously provided within its unmanned air mobility business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2023, we had $25,174 in cash as compared to $1,278,026 as of December 31, 2022. We also had $180,193 in accounts receivable as of September 30, 2023 as compared to $980,688 as of December 31, 2022. Our accounts receivable primarily include balances due from services provided and accepted by customers. As of September 30, 2023, our working capital deficit was $8,864,096.
In assessing our liquidity, management monitors and analyzes our cash, our ability to raise funds and to generate sufficient revenue in the future, and our operating and capital expenditure commitments. We are looking for other sources, such as raising additional capital by issuing shares of stock, to meet our needs for cash. To that end, management is currently scrutinizing potential cost reductions among the operating expenses and other cost reductions to better align our expenses with revenues which resulted in our discontinuance as of September 30, 2023 of our drone photography services and joint research and development services previously provided within our unmanned air mobility business. Furthermore, we note that we have a history of operating losses, have not yet achieved profitable operations and expect to incur further losses. We have funded our operations primarily from equity and debt financing and shareholder loans. As of September 30, 2023, cash generated from financing activities was not sufficient to fund operations and, in particular, to fund our growth strategy in the short-term or long-term. In connection with our efforts to obtain additional working capital, we sold two Convertible Notes to Lind Global in the aggregate principal amount of $4,200,000 for an aggregate purchase price of $3,500,000 on April 12, 2023 and May 23, 2023, respectively, along with warrants to purchase 3,921,129 shares of our Common Stock and expect to close on the sale of a third Convertible Note in the principal amount of $1,800,000 for a purchase price of $1,500,000 which includes a warrant to purchase 1,680,484 shares of our Common Stock. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Recent Financing Transactions” below. The primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital and general corporate purposes, including personnel costs, capital expenditures and the costs of operating as a public company. The ability to fund operations, to make planned capital expenditures, to execute on the development and manufacture of the XTURISMO Limited Edition Hoverbike and to repay or refinance indebtedness depends on our ability to raise funds from debt and/or equity financing which is subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or at all, or obtained on commercially reasonable terms acceptable to us.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, one of the Company’s directors, Kiran Sidhu and a former director, Daisuke Katano, paid some payables on behalf of the Company. Mr. Sidhu paid $425,464 and Mr. Katano paid $203,439. Each of these amounts remain outstanding as of September 30, 2023.
GOING CONCERN
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of and for the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company has incurred net loss from continuing operations of $22,233,949 and accumulated deficit of $69,560,075. These factors raise substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Although the Company is attempting to commence operations and generate sufficient revenue, the Company’s cash position is not be sufficient to support the Company’s daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of debt, or a private or public offering. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to commence operations and generate sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of debt, or a public or private offering. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Certain Effects of Future Sales of our Common Stock May Have on the Exercise of the Warrants
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market by Lind Global and/or by our other existing securityholders, or the perception that those sales might occur, could depress the market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our Common Stock. The shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes held by Lind Global and upon exercise of warrants it holds would represent a substantial percentage of our total outstanding Common Stock as of the date of this report, assuming the sale of all of the Convertible Notes and exercises of all Warrants. Consequently, the sale of all securities that Lind has the right to acquire could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our Common Stock.
In the event of the exercise of any Warrants for cash, we will receive the proceeds from such exercise. Assuming the exercise in full of all of Warrants for cash, we would receive an aggregate of approximately $2,355,516, but would not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise. To the extent any of the Warrants are exercised on a “cashless basis,” we will not receive any proceeds upon such exercise. We intend to use the proceeds received from the exercise of the Warrants, if any, for working capital and general corporate purposes, including personnel costs, capital expenditures and the costs of operating as a public company. The amounts that we actually spend for any specific purpose may vary significantly, and will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, market conditions. We believe the likelihood that holders of our Warrants will exercise their Warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds we would receive, is dependent upon the trading price of our Common Stock, the last reported sales price for which was $0.128 per share on November 27, 2023. If the trading price of our Common Stock is less than the Warrant Exercise Prices, respectively, we expect that holders of the Warrants will not exercise them. There is no guarantee the Warrants will be in the money following the time they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, and as such, the Warrants may expire worthless and we may receive no proceeds from the exercise of Warrants. We will continue to evaluate the probability of Warrant exercises and the merit of including potential cash proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants in our future liquidity projections, but we do not currently expect to rely on the cash exercise of Warrants to fund our operations. We instead currently expect to rely on the sources of funding described below, if available on reasonable terms or at all.
Recent Financing Transactions
Stock Purchase Agreement. On February 2, 2023, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”) with AERWINS, Inc., and certain investors (collectively referred to herein as the “Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Purchasers agreed to purchase an aggregate 3,196,311 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of AERWINS, Inc. which was immediately exchanged for 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Company Shares”) upon the consummation of the Business Combination in exchange for an aggregate sum of $5,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”) with the Purchase Price being paid to AERWINS, Inc. prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”). Effective immediately prior to the Closing, AERWINS, Inc. issued the Shares to the Purchasers and thereafter immediately upon the Closing, the Shares were exchanged for the Company Shares, and the Company Shares were issued as a registered issuance of securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to an effective registration filed by the Company on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-268625) which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 13, 2023.
Standby Equity Purchase Agreement. On January 23, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), Pono entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd., (“YA”). The Company and its successors will be able to sell up to one hundred million dollars in aggregate gross purchase price of the Company’s shares of common stock, par value $0.000001 per share (the “Common Shares”) at the Company’s request any time during the 36 months following the date of the SEPA’s entrance into force. The shares would be purchased at 96% or 97% (depending on the type of notice) of the Market Price (as defined below) and would be subject to certain limitations, including that YA could not purchase any shares that would result in it owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s common stock. “Market Price” shall mean the lowest daily VWAP of the Common Shares during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the advance notice date, other than the daily VWAP on any excluded days. “VWAP” means, for any trading day, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Shares for such trading day on the principal market during regular trading hours as reported by Bloomberg L.P.
Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company is required to register all shares which YA may acquire. The Company agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Registration Statement (as defined in the SEPA) registering all of the shares of common stock that are to be offered and sold to YA pursuant to the SEPA. The Company is required to have a Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC before it can raise any funds using the SEPA. The Company may not issue more than 19.99% of its shares issued and outstanding as of the Effective Date without first receiving shareholder approval for such issuances, unless such additional shares may be issued consistent with the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Pursuant to the SEPA, the use of proceeds from the sale of the shares by the Company to YA shall be used by the Company in the manner as will be set forth in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement (and any post-effective amendment thereto) and any prospectus supplement thereto filed pursuant to the SEPA. There are no other restrictions on future financing transactions. The SEPA does not contain any right of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages. The Company has paid YA Global II SPV, LLC, a subsidiary of YA, a structuring fee in the amount of $15,000, and, on the Effective Date, the Company agreed to issue to YA shares with aggregate value equal to one million dollars, as a commitment fee.
| 34 |
YA has agreed that neither it nor any of its affiliates shall engage in any short-selling or hedging of our common stock during any time prior to the public disclosure of the SEPA. Unless earlier terminated as provided under the SEPA, the SEPA shall terminate automatically on the earliest of (i) the first day of the month next following the 36-month anniversary of the Effective Date or (ii) the date on which YA shall have made payment of Advances (as defined in the SEPA) pursuant to the SEPA for the Common Shares equal to the Commitment Amount (as defined in the SEPA).
Lind Global Financing. On April 12, 2023, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with Lind Global Fund II LP (“Lind Global”) pursuant to which we agreed to issue to Lind Global up to three Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $6,000,000 for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000 and up to Warrants to purchase 5,601,613 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Transaction”).
The closings of the Transaction (the “Closings and each a “Closing”) will occur in tranches (each a “Tranche”): the Closing of the first Tranche (the “First Closing”) occurred on April 12, 2023 and consisted of the issuance and sale to Lind Global of a Convertible Note with a purchase price of $2,100,000 and a principal amount of $2,520,000 and the issuance to Lind Global of a Warrant to acquire 2,352,678 shares of common stock and the Closing of the second Tranche (the “Second Closing) which occurred on May 23, 2023 and consisted of the issuance and sale to Lind Global of a Convertible Note with a purchase price of $1,400,000 and a principal amount of $1,680,000, and the issuance to Lind Global of a Warrant to acquire 1,568,542 shares of common stock. So long as no Event of Default has occurred under the Convertible Note sold at the First Closing and the Second Closing, the Closing of the third Tranche (the “Third Closing), will consist of the issuance and sale to Lind Global of a Convertible Note with a purchase price of $1,500,000 and a principal amount of $1,800,000, and the issuance to Lind Global of a Warrant to acquire 1,680,484 shares of common stock and will occur upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement that includes this prospectus. The Third Closing is subject to certain conditions precedent as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, at each Closing, the Company agreed to pay Lind Global a commitment fee in an amount equal to 2.5% of the funding amount being funded by Lind Global at the applicable Closing.
The Convertible Note issued in the First Closing has a maturity date of April 12, 2025, the Convertible Note issued in the Second Closing has a maturity date of May 23, 2025 and the Convertible Note to be issued in the Third Closing will have a maturity date of two years from the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”). Each Convertible Note has a conversion price equal to the lesser of: (i) US$0.90 (“Fixed Price”); or (ii) 90% of the lowest single volume weighted average price during the 20 Trading Days prior to conversion of each Convertible Note (the “Conversion Price”); provided that in no event shall the conversion price be less than $0.18176 (the “Floor Price”). The Convertible Note will not bear interest other than in the event that if certain payments under the Convertible Note as set forth therein are not timely made, the Convertible Note will bear interest at the rate of 2% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. The Company will have the right to prepay the Convertible Note under the terms set forth therein.
The Warrants were issued or will be issued to Lind Global without payment of any cash consideration. Each Warrant will have an exercise period of 60 months from the date of issuance. The Exercise price of the First Closing Warrant and Second Closing Warrant is $0.8926 per share and $0.7316 per share, respectively, subject to adjustments as set forth in the Warrant. The exercise price for each the Warrant issued at the Third Closing will be an amount equal to 100% of the 10-day VWAP prior to such closing. For further details regarding the Transaction, see “The Lind Global Financing.”

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements. These financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities and revenue and expenses, to disclose contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the consolidated financial statements, and to disclose the reported amounts of revenue and expenses incurred during the financial reporting period. The most significant estimates and assumptions include the valuation of accounts receivable, advances to suppliers, useful lives of property and equipment, the recoverability of long-lived assets, provision necessary for contingent liabilities, and revenue recognition. We continue to evaluate these estimates and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We rely on these evaluations as the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application.
We believe critical accounting policies as disclosed in this prospectus reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
The following critical accounting policies rely upon assumptions and estimates and were used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Use of Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity U.S. GAAP, the management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property and equipment, the impairment of long- lived assets, valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, and revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable, net represent the amounts that the Company has an unconditional right to consideration, which are stated at the original amount less an allowance for doubtful receivables. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. The Company usually determines the adequacy of reserves for doubtful accounts based on individual account analysis and historical collection trends. The Company establishes a provision for doubtful receivables when there is objective evidence that the Company may not be able to collect amounts due. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual exposures, as well as a provision on historical trends of collections. The provision is recorded against accounts receivables balances, with a corresponding charge recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Delinquent account balances are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is remote. In circumstances in which the Company receives payment for accounts receivable that have previously been written off, the Company reverses the allowance and bad debt.
| 37 |
Lease-Lessee
In accordance with the Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) the Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. Lease terms of certain operating leases include the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain.
The Company leases office facilities, office equipment and furniture, and a vehicle, which are classified as operating leases and leases containers, which are classified as a finance lease in accordance with Topic 842. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities, current, and operating lease liabilities, non-current, and finance leases are included in property and equipment, finance lease liabilities, current, and finance lease liabilities, non-current in the consolidated balance sheet.
The operating lease right-of-use asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. All operating lease right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment annually.
As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments.
The Company has elected the short-term lease exception, and therefore operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company maintains its books and record in its local currency, Japanese YEN (“JPY”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operation is conducted. 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.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”), and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statements”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, 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 the translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within the statements of changes shareholders’ deficit.
Translation of amounts from the local currency of the Company into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates:
Nine months ended September 30, (unaudited) | Year ended December 31, | |||||||||||
| 2023 | 2022 | 2022 | ||||||||||
| Current JPY: US$1 exchange rate | 149.43 | 144.71 | 131.81 | |||||||||
| Average JPY: US$1 exchange rate | 138.14 | 128.26 | 131.46 | |||||||||
| 38 |
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.
To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps : (i) identify the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Revenue amount represents the invoiced value and net of a value-added tax (“Consumption Tax”). The Consumption Tax on sales is calculated at 10% of gross sales.
When another party is involved in providing goods or services to our customer, we apply the principal versus agent guidance in ASC Topic 606 to determine if we are the principal or an agent to the transaction. When we control the specified goods or services before they are transferred to our customer, we report revenue gross, as principal. If we do not control the goods or services before they are transferred to our customer, revenue is reported net of the fees paid to the other party, as agent.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective at the reasonable assurance level. Management has determined that a material weakness exists due to our late filing of certain reports required to be filed by us with the SEC.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II-OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time and in the course of business, we may become involved in various legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief. The amount of the ultimate liability, if any, from such claims cannot be determined. As of the date hereof, there are no legal claims currently pending or, to our knowledge, threatened against us or any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our properties that, in the opinion of our management, would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

All refences in this report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “AERWINS” include both AERWINS and ALI.
Pono Capital Corp Merger
On February 3, 2023, we consummated a merger (the “Merger”) with Pono Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, then called Pono Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Pono”) with and into AERWINS, Inc. (formerly named AERWINS Technologies Inc.), a Delaware corporation pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of September 7, 2022 (as amended on January 19, 2023, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Pono, Merger Sub, AERWINS, Mehana Equity LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor” or “Purchaser Representative”) in its capacity as the representative of the stockholders of Pono, and Shuhei Komatsu in his capacity as the representative of the stockholders of AERWINS, Inc. (“Seller Representative”). The Merger and other transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, the “Business Combination”) closed on February 3, 2023 when pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into AERWINS, Inc. with AERWINS, Inc. surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pono, and Pono changed its name to “AERWINS Technologies Inc.” and the business of the Company became the business of AERWINS, Inc., and this business section primarily includes information regarding the AERWINS’, Inc. business.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). AERWINS was determined to be the accounting acquirer and Pono was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the financial statements of the combined company represent a continuation of the financial statements of AERWINS.
On February 2, 2023, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”) with AERWINS, Inc., and certain investors (collectively referred to herein as the “Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Purchasers agreed to purchase an aggregate shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of AERWINS, Inc. which was immediately exchanged for Public Shares upon the consummation of the Business Combination in exchange for an aggregate sum of $ (the “Purchase Price”) with the Purchase Price being paid to AERWINS, Inc. prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”). Effective immediately prior to the Closing, AERWINS, Inc. issued the Shares to the Purchasers and thereafter immediately upon the Closing, the Shares were exchanged for the Public Shares, and the Public Shares were issued as a registered issuance of securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to an effective registration filed by the Company on Form S-4 which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 13, 2023.
On February 3, the Company received from the Business Combination with Pono net cash of $1,595,831. The Company also assumed $25,750 in prepaid expenses, $1,432,603 in other payable, $1,580,000 in notes payable ($1,480,000 as of September 30, 2023), $643,213 in warrant liabilities. The total funds from the Business Combination $1,595,831. This amount was available to repay certain indebtedness, transaction costs and for general corporate purposes, which primarily consisted of investment banking, legal, accounting, and other professional fees as follows:
Regarding the notes payable of $1,480,000 described above, the Company has not paid by the due date. Accordingly, the Company is regarded as in default and recognizes interest expenses of $110,157 as accrued expenses.

| GOING CONCERN | NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of and for the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company has incurred net loss from continuing operations of $22,233,949 and accumulated deficit of $69,560,075. These factors raise substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Although the Company is attempting to commence operations and generate sufficient revenue, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support the Company’s daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of debt, or a private or public offering. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to commence operations and generate sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of debt, or a public or private offering. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Information
The accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023, the interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and the related notes to such interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2023 and the Company’s consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, the management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property and equipment, the impairment of long-lived assets, and valuation allowance of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits in banks that are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable, net represent the amounts that the Company has an unconditional right to consideration, which are stated at the original amount less an allowance for doubtful receivables. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. The Company usually determines the adequacy of reserves for doubtful accounts based on individual account analysis and historical collection trends. The Company establishes a provision for doubtful receivables when there is objective evidence that the Company may not be able to collect amounts due. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual exposures, as well as a provision on historical trends of collections. The provision is recorded against accounts receivables balances, with a corresponding charge recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Delinquent account balances are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is remote. In circumstances in which the Company receives payment for accounts receivable that have previously been written off, the Company reverses the allowance and bad debt.
Inventories
Inventories consist principally of raw materials used for rendering computing sharing services and for manufacturing hoverbikes. Work in progress represents the costs incurred to date on unfinished products or services. The costs recognized as work in progress include direct materials, direct labor, and overhead costs that are directly attributable to the production of the unfinished product or service. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined by the first-in, first-out method for merchandise. Net realizable value is calculated at estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Loss from inventories written down to net realizable value should be recognized whenever the utility of goods is impaired by damage, deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes. When inventories have been written down below cost, the reduced amount is to be considered the cost for subsequent accounting purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, inventory write-downs of $1,487,493 were recorded to reflect the decrease in anticipated net realizable value as the Company is pursuing the redesign of its hoverbike and considering strategic alternatives for the non-core operations.
Fixed assets
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, as more details follow:
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Lease-Lessee
In accordance with the Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) the Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. Lease terms of certain operating leases include the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain.
The Company leases office facilities, office equipment and furniture, and a vehicle, which are classified as operating leases and leases containers, which are classified as a finance lease in accordance with Topic 842. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities, current, and operating lease liabilities, non-current, and finance leases are included in property and equipment, finance lease liabilities, current, and finance lease liabilities, non-current in the consolidated balance sheet.
The operating lease right-of-use asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. All operating lease right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment annually.
As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments.
The Company has elected the short-term lease exception, and therefore operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets with finite lives, primarily property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are below the asset’s carrying value, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and written down to its fair value.
Equity Method
We apply the equity method to an investment in unconsolidated entities over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence. We initially record our investments based on the acquisition cost. Under the equity method, the carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the Company’s share of net assets of the investment.
Warrant Liabilities
We account for the Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40 — Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815), under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations. The Placement Warrants, Public Warrants, and Debt Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a Black Scholes model.
Share-based Compensation
We account for the share-based compensation in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 — “Compensation – Stock Compensation” and ASC 505, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Convertible Promissory Notes and Derivative Instruments
The Company accounts for the fair value of the conversion feature in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815, which requires the Company to bifurcate and separately account for the conversion feature as an embedded derivative contained in the Company’s convertible promissory note. Accordingly, we account for the conversion option as an embedded derivative contained in the Company’s promissory note at fair value. The derivative liability is required to be remeasured at each reporting date and the change in fair value is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company maintains its books and record in its local currency, Japanese YEN (“JPY”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operation is conducted. 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.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”), and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statements”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, 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 the translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within the statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit.
Translation of amounts from the local currency of the Company into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates:
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
In accordance with FASB ASC 830-230, “Statement of Cash Flows”, cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the functional currency. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.
To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps : (i) identify the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Revenue amount represents the invoiced value and net of a value-added tax (“Consumption Tax”). The Consumption Tax on sales is calculated at 10% of gross sales.
When another party is involved in providing goods or services to our customer, we apply the principal versus agent guidance in ASC Topic 606 to determine if we are the principal or an agent to the transaction. When we control the specified goods or services before they are transferred to our customer, we report revenue gross, as principal. If we do not control the goods or services before they are transferred to our customer, revenue is reported net of the fees paid to the other party, as agent.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues primarily consists of salaries and related expenses (e.g. bonuses, employee benefits, and payroll taxes) for personnel directly involved in the delivery of services and products directly to customers. Cost of revenues also includes royalty/license payments to vendors, hosting and infrastructure costs related to the delivery of the Company’s products and services, and inventory write-down.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs of promotion and marketing for the Company’s image and products, and costs of direct advertising, and are included in selling expenses. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred, in accordance with the ASC 720-35, “Advertising Costs”. The advertising expenses for nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (unaudited) were $63,525 and $78,952, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts and other receivables. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of the financial condition and payment practices of its customers to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Customer A accounts for 27.7% of the Company’s total revenues.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Customer C and Customer D accounts for respectively 14.8% and 12% of the Company’s total revenues.
As of September 30, 2023, Customer A accounts for 19.6% and Customer B accounts for 70.2% of the Company’s total accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2022, Customer E, Customer F and Customer G accounts for respectively 15.1%, 16.2% and 12.8% of the Company’s total accounts receivable
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Vendor A and Vendor B accounts for respectively 39.4% and 16.4% of the Company’s total raw material purchases.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Vendor B accounts for respectively 30.8% of the Company’s total raw material purchases.
As of December 31, 2022, Vendor A accounts for 31.2% of the Company’s total accounts payable. As of September 30, 2023, Vendor A accounts for 20.1% of the Company’s total accounts payable.
Comprehensive Income or Loss
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income or loss, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income or loss as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation.
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common shares were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common shares that could share in the earnings (loss) of the Company.
Related Parties and Transactions
The Company identifies related parties, and accounts for, discloses related party transactions in accordance with ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures” and other relevant ASC standards.
Parties, which can be an entity or individual, are considered to be related if they have the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the Company or exercise significant influence over the Company in making financial and operational decisions. Entities are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current period and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets also include the prior years’ net operating losses carried forward. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company follows ASC 740, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures.
Under the provisions of ASC 740, when tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company performs fair value measurements in accordance with ASC 820. 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. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. An asset’s or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

| EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE |
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated on the basis of weighted-average outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed on the basis of basic weighted-average outstanding common shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options. Dilutive common shares are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed conversion of share repurchase liability to common shares related to the early exercised stock options.
Basic loss per share equals diluted loss per share because the calculation of diluted loss per share would be anti-dilutive.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023, the interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and the related notes to such interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2023 and the Company’s consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, the management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property and equipment, the impairment of long-lived assets, and valuation allowance of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits in banks that are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of three months or less.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Accounts Receivable, net | Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable, net represent the amounts that the Company has an unconditional right to consideration, which are stated at the original amount less an allowance for doubtful receivables. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. The Company usually determines the adequacy of reserves for doubtful accounts based on individual account analysis and historical collection trends. The Company establishes a provision for doubtful receivables when there is objective evidence that the Company may not be able to collect amounts due. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual exposures, as well as a provision on historical trends of collections. The provision is recorded against accounts receivables balances, with a corresponding charge recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Delinquent account balances are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is remote. In circumstances in which the Company receives payment for accounts receivable that have previously been written off, the Company reverses the allowance and bad debt.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inventories | Inventories
Inventories consist principally of raw materials used for rendering computing sharing services and for manufacturing hoverbikes. Work in progress represents the costs incurred to date on unfinished products or services. The costs recognized as work in progress include direct materials, direct labor, and overhead costs that are directly attributable to the production of the unfinished product or service. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined by the first-in, first-out method for merchandise. Net realizable value is calculated at estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Loss from inventories written down to net realizable value should be recognized whenever the utility of goods is impaired by damage, deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes. When inventories have been written down below cost, the reduced amount is to be considered the cost for subsequent accounting purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, inventory write-downs of $1,487,493 were recorded to reflect the decrease in anticipated net realizable value as the Company is pursuing the redesign of its hoverbike and considering strategic alternatives for the non-core operations.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fixed assets | Fixed assets
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, as more details follow:
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lease-Lessee | Lease-Lessee
In accordance with the Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) the Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. Lease terms of certain operating leases include the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain.
The Company leases office facilities, office equipment and furniture, and a vehicle, which are classified as operating leases and leases containers, which are classified as a finance lease in accordance with Topic 842. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities, current, and operating lease liabilities, non-current, and finance leases are included in property and equipment, finance lease liabilities, current, and finance lease liabilities, non-current in the consolidated balance sheet.
The operating lease right-of-use asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. All operating lease right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment annually.
As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments.
The Company has elected the short-term lease exception, and therefore operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets with finite lives, primarily property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are below the asset’s carrying value, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and written down to its fair value.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Equity Method | Equity Method
We apply the equity method to an investment in unconsolidated entities over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence. We initially record our investments based on the acquisition cost. Under the equity method, the carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the Company’s share of net assets of the investment.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Warrant Liabilities | Warrant Liabilities
We account for the Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40 — Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815), under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations. The Placement Warrants, Public Warrants, and Debt Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a Black Scholes model.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Share-based Compensation | Share-based Compensation
We account for the share-based compensation in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 — “Compensation – Stock Compensation” and ASC 505, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Convertible Promissory Notes and Derivative Instruments | Convertible Promissory Notes and Derivative Instruments
The Company accounts for the fair value of the conversion feature in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815, which requires the Company to bifurcate and separately account for the conversion feature as an embedded derivative contained in the Company’s convertible promissory note. Accordingly, we account for the conversion option as an embedded derivative contained in the Company’s promissory note at fair value. The derivative liability is required to be remeasured at each reporting date and the change in fair value is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation
The Company maintains its books and record in its local currency, Japanese YEN (“JPY”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operation is conducted. 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.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”), and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statements”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, 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 the translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within the statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit.
Translation of amounts from the local currency of the Company into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows | Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
In accordance with FASB ASC 830-230, “Statement of Cash Flows”, cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the functional currency. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.
To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps : (i) identify the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Revenue amount represents the invoiced value and net of a value-added tax (“Consumption Tax”). The Consumption Tax on sales is calculated at 10% of gross sales.
When another party is involved in providing goods or services to our customer, we apply the principal versus agent guidance in ASC Topic 606 to determine if we are the principal or an agent to the transaction. When we control the specified goods or services before they are transferred to our customer, we report revenue gross, as principal. If we do not control the goods or services before they are transferred to our customer, revenue is reported net of the fees paid to the other party, as agent.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cost of Revenues | Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues primarily consists of salaries and related expenses (e.g. bonuses, employee benefits, and payroll taxes) for personnel directly involved in the delivery of services and products directly to customers. Cost of revenues also includes royalty/license payments to vendors, hosting and infrastructure costs related to the delivery of the Company’s products and services, and inventory write-down.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Advertising Expenses | Advertising Expenses
Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs of promotion and marketing for the Company’s image and products, and costs of direct advertising, and are included in selling expenses. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred, in accordance with the ASC 720-35, “Advertising Costs”. The advertising expenses for nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (unaudited) were $63,525 and $78,952, respectively.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts and other receivables. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of the financial condition and payment practices of its customers to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Customer A accounts for 27.7% of the Company’s total revenues.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Customer C and Customer D accounts for respectively 14.8% and 12% of the Company’s total revenues.
As of September 30, 2023, Customer A accounts for 19.6% and Customer B accounts for 70.2% of the Company’s total accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2022, Customer E, Customer F and Customer G accounts for respectively 15.1%, 16.2% and 12.8% of the Company’s total accounts receivable
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Vendor A and Vendor B accounts for respectively 39.4% and 16.4% of the Company’s total raw material purchases.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Vendor B accounts for respectively 30.8% of the Company’s total raw material purchases.

|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Comprehensive Income or Loss | Comprehensive Income or Loss
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income or loss, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income or loss as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Earnings (Loss) Per Share |
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common shares were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common shares that could share in the earnings (loss) of the Company.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Related Parties and Transactions | Related Parties and Transactions
The Company identifies related parties, and accounts for, discloses related party transactions in accordance with ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures” and other relevant ASC standards.
Parties, which can be an entity or individual, are considered to be related if they have the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the Company or exercise significant influence over the Company in making financial and operational decisions. Entities are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current period and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets also include the prior years’ net operating losses carried forward. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company follows ASC 740, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures.
Under the provisions of ASC 740, when tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations.

| Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements
The Company performs fair value measurements in accordance with ASC 820. 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. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. An asset’s or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
