**PART I**

**Item 1. Business**

**Overview**

Pony Group Inc. ('Company" or "Pony") was incorporated on January 7, 2019 in the state of Delaware.

**Our Corporate History** 

On March 7, 2019, Pony Group Inc (the "Purchaser"), and Wenxian Fan, the sole owner of Pony Limousine Services Limited, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which Wenxian Fan (the "Seller") would sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser will purchase from the Seller, 10,000 shares of the Pony Limousine Services Limited ("Pony HK"), which represented 100% of the shares. On March 7, 2019, this transaction was completed.

Pony Limousine Services Limited is a limited liability company formed under the laws of Hong Kong on April 28, 2016, which was formed by Wenxian Fan. Its registered office is located at Flat/Rm 01 11/F, Lucky Comm Bldg, 103 Des Voeux Rd West, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. On February 2, 2019, Universe Travel Culture & Technology Ltd. ("Universe Travel") was incorporated as a wholly-owned PRC subsidiary of Pony HK.

**Our Corporate Structure** 

We do not have or intend to set up any subsidiary or enter into any contractual arrangements to establish a variable interest entity ("VIE") structure with any entity in China. The following diagram illustrates our corporate structure, including our subsidiaries as of the date of this Report:

![](image_001.jpg)

Our holding company structure presents unique risks as our investors may never directly hold equity interests in our Hong Kong or Shenzhen operating subsidiary and will be dependent upon dividends and other distributions from our subsidiaries to finance our cash flow needs. We are, however, not a Chinese or Hong Kong operating company but a United States holding company with operations conducted by our subsidiaries. Our ability to receive dividends and other contributions from our subsidiaries are significantly affected by regulations promulgated by Hong Kong and PRC authorities. Any change in the interpretation of existing rules and regulations or the promulgation of new rules and regulations may materially affect our operations and or the value of our securities, including causing the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. For a detailed description of the risks facing the Company associated with our structure, please refer to "*Item 1A. Risk Factors - Risks Related to Doing Business in China."*

 

Currently, PRC laws and regulations do not prohibit direct foreign investment in our Hong Kong or Shenzhen operating subsidiary. Nonetheless, in light of the recent statements and regulatory actions by the PRC government, such as those related to Hong Kong's national security, the promulgation of regulations prohibiting foreign ownership of Chinese companies operating in certain industries, which are constantly evolving, and anti-monopoly concerns, we may be subject to the risks of uncertainty of any future actions of the PRC government in this regard, which would likely result in a material change in our operations, including our ability to continue our existing holding company structure, carry on our current business, accept foreign investments, and offer or continue to offer securities to our investors, and the resulting adverse change in value to our common stock. We may also be subject to penalties and sanctions imposed by the PRC or Hong Kong regulatory agencies, including the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, if we fail to comply with such rules and regulations, which would likely adversely affect the ability of the Company's securities to continue to trade on the OTCQB, which would likely cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

**The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the "HFCA Act") and the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act ("AHFCAA")** 

As more stringent criteria applying to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors have been imposed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the "PCAOB") recently, and under the HFCA Act, our securities may be prohibited from being traded on the over-the-counter (the "OTC") markets if our auditor is not inspected by the PCAOB for three consecutive years, and this ultimately could result in trading in our securities being prohibited.

The HFCA Act was enacted on December 18, 2020. The HFCA Act states that if the SEC determines that an issuer's audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm have not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit such issuer's securities from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the United States. On March 24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the HFCA Act. We will be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies us as having a "non-inspection" year under a process to be subsequently established by the SEC. If we fail to meet the new rules before the deadline specified thereunder, we could face possible prohibition from trading on the OTCQB, deregistration from the SEC and/or other risks, which may materially and adversely affect, or effectively terminate, our securities trading in the United States. On December 2, 2021, the SEC issued amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCA Act. The rules apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in foreign jurisdictions.

Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the "AHFCAA") , which would amend the HFCA Act and require the SEC to prohibit an issuer's securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges or the OTC markets if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three thus reducing the time before our securities may be prohibited from trading or being delisted. On December 29, 2022, the AHFCAA was signed into law.

On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a determination, under the HFCA Act, on registered public accounting firms headquartered in Hong Kong and the mainland China of the People's Republic of China that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely. As of this Report, our auditor, BF Borgers CPA PC, is not headquartered in China nor Hong Kong and thus is not subject to such determination.

As a firm registered with the BF Borgers CPA PC is subject to laws in the United States which provide that the PCAOB shall conduct regular inspections to assess the auditor's compliance with the applicable professional standards. We have no intention of dismissing BF Borgers CPA PC in the future or engaging any auditor not based in the U.S. and not subject to regular inspection by the PCAOB. There is no guarantee, however, that any future auditor engaged by the Company would remain subject to full PCAOB inspection during the entire term of our engagement. If it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate our auditor completely, investor may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection. Any audit reports not issued by auditors that are completely inspected by the PCAOB, or a lack of PCAOB inspections of audit work undertaken in China or Hong Kong that prevents the PCAOB from regularly evaluating our auditors' audits and their quality control procedures, could result in a lack of assurance that our financial statements and disclosures are adequate and accurate.

On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB announced and signed a Statement of Protocol (the "Protocol") with the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China. The Protocol provides the PCAOB with: (1) sole discretion to select the firms, audit engagements and potential violations it inspects and investigates, without any involvement of Chinese authorities; (2) procedures for PCAOB inspectors and investigators to view complete audit work papers with all information included and for the PCAOB to retain information as needed; (3) direct access to interview and take testimony from all personnel associated with the audits the PCAOB inspects or investigates.

The PCAOB reassessed the 2021 PCAOB Determinations that the positions taken by PRC authorities prevented the PCAOB from inspecting and investigating in mainland China and Hong Kong completely. The PCAOB sent its inspectors to conduct on-site inspections and investigations of firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong from September to November 2022.

On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced in its determination (the "2022 Determination") that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong, and the PCAOB Board voted to vacate previous determinations to the contrary. Should the PCAOB again encounter impediments to inspections and investigations in mainland China or Hong Kong as a result of positions taken by any authority in either jurisdiction, including by the CSRC or the Ministry of Finance, the PCAOB will make determinations under the HFCAA as and when appropriate. We cannot assure you whether OTC or regulatory authorities would apply additional and more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor's audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach, or experience as it relates to the audit of our financial statements. There is a risk that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely the Company's auditor because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction or any other reasons, and that the PCAOB may re-evaluate its determinations as a result of any obstruction with the implementation of the Protocol. Such lack of inspection or re-evaluation could cause trading in the Company's securities to be prohibited under the HFCAA ultimately result in a determination by a securities exchange to delist the Company's securities. In addition, under the HFCAA as amended by the AHFCAA, our securities may be prohibited from trading on the OTC or other U.S. stock exchanges if our auditor is not inspected by the PCAOB for two consecutive years, and this ultimately could result in our ordinary shares being delisted by and exchange.

Future developments in respect of increased U.S. regulatory access to audit information are uncertain, as the legislative developments are subject to the legislative process and the regulatory developments are subject to the rule-making process and other administrative procedures.

See also "*Item 1A. Risk Factors - Risks Related to Doing Business in China* - *Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, and the related regulations are evolving quickly. Further implementations and interpretations of our amendments to the HFCAA or the related regulations, or a PCAOB's determination of its lack of sufficient access to inspect our auditor, might pose regulatory risks to and impose restrictions on us because of our operations in mainland China that PCAOB may not be able to inspect or investigate completely such audit documentation and, as such, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection and our ordinary share could be delisted from the stock exchange pursuant to the HFCAA*.

**Regulatory Permissions and Developments**

We have determined that the laws and regulations of the PRC do not currently have any material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, there is no assurance that there will not be any changes in the economic, political and legal environment in Hong Kong, where Pony HK operates, in the future. If there is significant change to current political arrangements between mainland China and Hong Kong, companies operated in Hong Kong such as us may face similar regulatory risks as those operated in PRC, including their ability to offer securities to investors, list their securities on a U.S. or other foreign exchange, conduct their business or accept foreign investment. In light of China's recent expansion of authority in Hong Kong, there are risks and uncertainties which we cannot foresee for the time being, and rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little or no advance notice. The Chinese government may intervene or influence our current and future operations in Hong Kong at any time, or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in issuers likes ourselves. See "*Item 1A. Risk Factors - Risks Related to Doing Business in China*."

Except for the Basic Law, national laws of the PRC do not apply in Hong Kong unless they are listed in Annex III of the Basic Law and applied locally by promulgation or local legislation. National laws that may be listed in Annex III are currently limited under the Basic Law to those which fall within the scope of defense and foreign affairs as well as other matters outside the limits of the autonomy of Hong Kong. National laws and regulations relating to data protection, cybersecurity and anti-monopoly have not been listed in Annex III and do not apply directly to Hong Kong and, as such, the CAC and CSRC do not currently have jurisdiction over companies operating in Hong Kong.

In addition, in light of the recent statements and regulatory actions by the PRC government, such as those related to Hong Kong's national security, the promulgation of regulations prohibiting foreign ownership of Chinese companies operating in certain industries, which are constantly evolving, and anti-monopoly concerns, we may be subject to the risks of uncertainty of any future actions of the PRC government in this regard including the risk that the PRC government could disallow our holding company structure, which may result in a material change in our operations, including our ability to continue our existing holding company structure, carry on our current business, accept foreign investments, and offer or continue to offer securities to our investors. These adverse actions could cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

We also have operations in mainland China through our subsidiary Universe Travel and that the risks with regards to obtaining regulatory permissions equally apply to both our China and Hong Kong operation. We are aware that, recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in certain areas in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. For example, on July 6, 2021, the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued a document to crack down on illegal activities in the securities market and promote the high-quality development of the capital market, which, among other things, requires the relevant governmental authorities to strengthen cross-border oversight of law-enforcement and judicial cooperation, to enhance supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, and to establish and improve the system of extraterritorial application of the PRC securities laws. Also, on July 10, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China (the "CAC") issued a revised draft of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review for public comments, or the Revised Draft, which required that, among others, in addition to "operator of critical information infrastructure", any "data processor" controlling personal information of no less than one million users (which to be further specified) which seeks to list in a foreign stock exchange should also be subject to cybersecurity review, and further elaborated the factors to be considered when assessing the national security risks of the relevant activities.

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance, the National Administration of State Secrets Protection and the National Archives Administration jointly issued the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Confidentiality and Archives Provisions (the "CAP"), which will take effective from March 31, 2023. The Confidentiality and Archives Provisions specify that during the overseas issuance of securities and listing activities of domestic enterprises, domestic enterprises and securities companies and securities service institutions that provide relevant securities services shall, by strictly abiding by the relevant laws and regulations of the PRC and the requirements therein, establish sound confidentiality and archives management systems, take necessary measures to implement confidentiality and archives management responsibilities, and shall not leak national secrets, work secrets of governmental agencies and undermine national and public interests. Work manuscripts generated in the PRC by securities companies and securities service institutions that provide relevant securities services for overseas issuance and listing of securities by domestic enterprises shall be kept in the PRC. Without the approval of relevant competent authorities, it shall not be transferred overseas. Where archives or copies need to be transferred outside of the PRC, it shall be subject to the approval procedures in accordance with relevant PRC regulations.

Based on the Company's understanding of the current PRC laws, as of the date of this report, we have determined that we, and our subsidiaries, are not currently required to obtain any permission approval or business licenses from the CSRC, the CAC or any other regulatory authority in the PRC or in Hong Kong for our operations, the trading of our securities on the OTCQB and the offering of our securities to foreign investors. The CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether we are subject to the CAP. In addition, the business of our Hong Kong subsidiary, Pony HK is not subject to cybersecurity review with the CAC, given that PRC laws on data protection and cybersecurity do not currently apply to Hong Kong. Further, for our Shenzhen subsidiary, Universe Travel, and to the extent that if we become subject to such PRC laws in the future, we do not believe we are required to conduct a cybersecurity review because (i) we do not possess a large amount of personal information on more than one million users in our business operations; and (ii) data processed in our business does not have a bearing on national security and thus may not be classified as core or important data by the authorities. However, our operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by future laws and regulations relating to our business or industry, if we inadvertently conclude that such approvals or permissions are not required when they are, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we are required to obtain approvals or permissions in the future. We may be subject to penalties and sanctions imposed by the PRC or Hong Kong regulatory agencies, including the CSRC, if we fail to comply with such rules and regulations, which could adversely affect the ability of the Company's securities to continue to trade on the OTCQB, which may cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

There may be prominent risks associated with Pony HK's operations being in Hong Kong and Universe Travel being the PRC. For example, as a U.S.-listed public company with business revenue derived primarily from our PRC-subsidiary, we may face heightened scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity, which could result in a material change in our operations and the value of our common stock. Additionally, Pony HK is subject to certain legal and operational risks associated with our business operations in Hong Kong, which is subject to political and economic influence from China. PRC laws and regulations governing our current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain, and we may face the risk that changes in the policies of the PRC government could have a significant impact upon the business we conduct, through our subsidiaries Pony HK and Universe Travel, in Shenzhen and in Hong Kong and the profitability of such business. Therefore, these risks associated with having part of our operations in Hong Kong could likely cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless. Furthermore, these risks would likely result in a material change in our business operations or a complete hinderance of our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors. In addition, changes in Chinese internal regulatory mandates, such as the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors (the "M&A Rules"), the Anti-Monopoly Law, the Cybersecurity Law and the Data Security Law, may target the Company's corporate structure and impact our and our subsidiaries' ability to conduct business in Hong Kong and in Shenzhen, accept foreign investments, or list on an U.S. or other foreign exchange.

The U.S. government, including the SEC, has recently made statements and taken certain actions that may lead to significant changes to U.S. and international relations, and will impact companies with connections to the United States or China (including Hong Kong). The SEC has issued statements primarily focused on companies with significant China-based operations. For example, on July 30, 2021, Gary Gensler, Chairman of the SEC, issued a Statement on Investor Protection Related to Recent Developments in China, pursuant to which Chairman Gensler stated that he has asked the SEC staff to engage in targeted additional reviews of filings for companies with significant China-based operations.

For a detailed description of the risks facing the Company and the risks associated with having our operations in Hong Kong, please refer to "*Item 1A. Risk Factors - Risks Related to Doing Business in China.*"

**Our Services** 

The business nature of the Company is to provide carpooling, airport pick-up and drop-off, and personal drivers services for travelers between Guangdong Province and Hong Kong.

We offer our customers seamless, customized and on-demand access to a variety of transportation options. Currently, most of our customers are entities such as business companies, travel agencies or societal associations. To be as flexible and convenience as possible to our customers, we take orders from customers any time through WeChat, Tencent QQ, email and phone call, upon which we obtain a quote from our car fleet companies and forward it to the customer. Once the order is confirmed, the accepted car fleet company will perform the service by sending a driver to pick up the customer at the scheduled time. We charge the car fleet company a 5-15% service fee on each completed order.

**Sales and Marketing**

We market our services to users directly through word-of-mouth referrals, brand advertising. We plan to attract consumers and promote offerings on our "Let's Go" application through sponsored events, social networking sites including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and other similar initiatives.

**Seasonality**

Our current operations experience seasonality. We see high demands of our services during the golden weeks in China which was intended to help expand the domestic tourism market. Our business slows down during February to April.

**Intellectual Property**

We currently do not have any intellectual property. In July 2019, we started the process of registering our trademark with the Trade Marks Registry in Hong Kong.

**Competition**

Competition in the car service industry is intense and evolving. Our primary competitors are Shenzhen Anxun Automobile Rental Co., Ltd, The Motor Transport Company of Guangdong and Hong Kong Limited and China Comfort (Shenzhen) Travel Services Co. Ltd. We believe the primary competitive factors in our markets include pricing, user experience, brand, technological innovation, safety and reliability. We believe we compete favorably across these factors. We are strategically positioned in the Guangdong-Hong Kong market where the demand for traveling between these two places is high. However, many of our competitors and potential competitors are larger and have greater brand name recognition, longer operating histories, larger marketing budgets and established marketing relationships, access to larger customer bases and significantly greater resources for the development of their offerings. For additional information about the risks to our business related to competition, see the section titled "Risk Factors- We face intense competition and could lose market share to our competitors, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations."

**Employees**

As of the date of this Report, we have a total of 3 full-time employees and 1 part-time employee working for customer services. The following table sets forth the number of our employees categorized by function as of that date:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Function** | **Total Number of Employees** |
| Technology & Product Development | 2 |
| Human Resource & Administration | 1 |
| Customer Services | 1 |
| Total | 4 |

**Facilities**

We lease an office at Engineer Experiment Building, A202, 7 Gaoxin South Avenue, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China, encompassing approximately 205 square meters of space for a monthly rent of RMB 10,000 (approximately $1,570). The lease for this facility expires on February 28, 2024. We believe the rented space is sufficient for our current operations. We believe our facilities are sufficient for our current needs.

**Insurance**

We currently do not have any insurance coverage other than participation in various government statutory social security plans, including a pension contribution plan, a medical insurance plan, an unemployment insurance plan, a work-related injury insurance plan, a maternity insurance plan and a housing provident fund.

**Legal Proceedings**

From time to time, we may in the future become a party to various legal or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including actions with respect to intellectual property infringement, violation of third-party licenses or other rights, breach of contract and labor and employment claims. We are currently not a party to, and we are not aware of any threat of, any legal or administrative proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have any material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash-flow or results of operations.

**Regulations**

This section sets forth a summary of the most significant laws, rules and regulations that affect our business and operations in China. We provide our service through third-party transportation companies and do not own the vehicle ourselves for their operations, therefore we believe we do not need the qualifications related to vehicle transportation operations.

**Regulations Relating to Foreign Investment**

*The Guidance Catalog of Industries for Foreign Investment*

 

Investment activities in the PRC by foreign investors shall comply with the Guidance Catalog of Industries for Foreign Investment, or the Catalog, which was promulgated and is amended continuously by MOFCOM, and the National Development and Reform Commission, or NDRC. According to the Catalog, industries are classified as three categories: encouraged foreign invested industries, restricted foreign invested industries and prohibited foreign invested industries. Any industry not listed in the Catalog or any encouraged foreign invested industry listed in the Catalog is a permitted industry. Some restricted industries are limited to equity or contractual joint ventures, while in some cases Chinese partners are required to hold the majority interests in such joint ventures. Foreign investors are not allowed to invest in industries within the prohibited category. Industries not listed in the Catalogue are generally open to foreign investment unless specifically restricted by other PRC regulations.

In June 2018, the MOFCOM and the NDRC promulgated the Special Administrative Measures for the Access of Foreign Investment (Negative List), or the Negative List (2018), effective in July 2018. The Negative List (2018) expands the scope of permitted industries by foreign investment by reducing the number of industries that fall within the Negative List (2018) where restrictions on the shareholding percentage or requirements on the composition of board or senior management still exists. In June 2019, the MOFCOM and the NDRC promulgated the Special Administrative Measures for the Access of Foreign Investment (Negative List) (2019 Edition), or the Negative List (2019) to replace the Negative List (2018), effective in July 2019. On December 28, 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce publicly released the Directory of Industries to Encourage Foreign Investment (Encouraged Catalogue) (2020 Edition). On December 27, 2021, NDRC and MOFCOM jointly issued the Special Administrative Measures for Foreign Investment Access (Negative List) (2021 Edition), and the Special Administrative Measures for Foreign Investment Access in Pilot Free Trade Zones (Negative List) (2021 Edition), effective January 1, 2022. As per these policies, the national negative list of foreign investment access was reduced from 33 to 31, and the negative list of foreign investment access in the free trade zone was reduced from 30 to 27. Industries listed in the 2020 Encouraged Catalogue are the encouraged industries. On the other hand, industries listed in the 2021 Negative List are subject to special management measures. For example, establishment of wholly foreign-owned enterprises is generally allowed in industries outside of the 2021 Negative List. Also, foreign investors are not allowed to invest in industries that are expressly prohibited in the 2021 Negative List. The industries that are not expressly prohibited in the Negative List are still subject to government approvals and certain special requirements. We believe that our current business is to provide travel services and therefore we do not falls in the Negative List (2021), the Negative List (2018) nor the Negative List (2019).

*Foreign Investment Law*

 

On March 15, 2019, the National People's Congress promulgated the Foreign Investment Law, which will become effective on January 1, 2020 and replace three existing laws on foreign investments in China, namely, the Sino-Foreign Equity Joint Venture Enterprise Law and the Foreign Owned Enterprise Law, together with their implementations and ancillary regulations to become the legal foundation for foreign investment in the PRC.

According to the Foreign Investment Law, the State Council will publish or approve to publish a catalogue for special administrative measures, or the "negative list." The Foreign Investment Law grants national treatment to foreign invested entities, except for those foreign invested entities that operate in industries deemed to be either "restricted" or "prohibited" in the "negative list." Because the "negative list" has yet to be published, it is unclear whether it will differ from the current Negative List. The Foreign Investment Law provides that foreign invested entities operating in foreign restricted or prohibited industries will require market entry clearance and other approvals from relevant PRC governmental authorities. Furthermore, the Foreign Investment Law provides that foreign invested enterprises established according to the existing laws regulating foreign investment may maintain their structure and corporate governance within five years after the implementing of the Foreign Investment Law.

*Measures for Reporting of Foreign Investment Information* 

On September 3, 2016, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress promulgated the Order of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on Amending Four Laws Including the Law of the People's Republic of China on Wholly Foreign-owned Enterprises (the "Order"), which provides record-filing in lieu of administrative approval for the establishments and alterations of foreign invested enterprises (the "FIEs") not subject to special administrative measures. In order to provide more guidance for foreign-invested Enterprises, the MOFCOM issued the Interim Administrative Measures for the Record-filing for the Establishment and Alteration of Foreign-invested Enterprises (the "Interim Measure") on October 8, 2016 (Revised in July 30, 2017 and June 29, 2018), or the Measures. The Measures provided detail instructions for foreign-invested enterprise to carry out record filing in terms of the change of the enterprise in China.

On December 30, 2019, MOFCOM and the State Administration for Market Regulation jointly issued the Measures for Reporting of Foreign Investment Information, or the Foreign Investment Information Measures, which came into effect on January 1, 2020 and replaced the Interim Measures. Since January 1, 2020, for foreign investors carrying out investment activities directly or indirectly in the PRC, foreign investors or foreign-invested enterprises shall submit investment information through the Enterprise Registration System and the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System operated by the State Administration for Market Regulation. Foreign investors or foreign-invested enterprises shall disclose their investment information by submitting reports for their establishments, modifications and cancellations and their annual reports in accordance with the Foreign Investment Information Measures. If a foreign-invested enterprise investing in the PRC has finished submitting its reports for its establishment, modifications and cancellation and its annual reports, the relevant information will be shared by the competent market regulation department to the competent commercial department, and does not require such foreign-invested enterprise to submit the reports separately.

*The M&A Rules*

 

The Provisions Regarding Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, was jointly promulgated by MOFCOM, China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, State Administration of Taxation, State Administration of Industry and Commerce and State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, on August 8, 2006 and became effective as of September 8, 2006, and were later amended on June 22, 2009. This M&A Rules governs among other things, the purchase and subscription by foreign investors of equity interests in a domestic enterprise, and the purchase and operation by foreign investors of the assets and business of a domestic enterprise. An offshore special purpose vehicle, or SPV, is defined under the M&A Rules as an offshore entity directly or indirectly controlled by Chinese individuals or enterprises for the purpose of an overseas listing, and the main assets of which are the rights and interests in affiliated domestic enterprises. Under the M&A Rules, if a SPV intends to merge with or acquire any domestic enterprise affiliated from the Chinese individuals or enterprises that control the SPV, such proposed merger for approval. The M&A Rules also require that a SPV shall obtain an approval from the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of its securities on an overseas stock exchange.

**Regulations Relating to Intellectual Property Rights**

The Copyright Law of the PRC, promulgated in 1990 and amended it in 2001 and 2010, and the Regulations on Computer Software Protection, promulgated by the State Council of the PRC on December 20, 2001 and revised on January 8, 2011 and January 1, 2013, provide protection to the rights and interests of computer software copyright holders. Pursuant to the Regulations on Computer Software Protection, software developed by PRC citizens, legal entities or other organizations is automatically protected immediately after its development, regardless of whether the software was published. A software copyright owner may register with the designated registration authorities and obtain a registration certificate, which serves as preliminary proof of ownership of the copyright and other registered matters. The operational procedures for the registration of software copyright and the registration of software copyright license and transfer agreements are set forth in the Measures on Computer Software Copyright Registration promulgated by the National Copyright Administration on February 20, 2002.

*Patents*

 

The NPCSC adopted the Patent Law of the PRC in 1984 and amended it in 1992, 2000 and 2008, respectively. A patentable invention, utility model or design must meet three conditions: novelty, inventiveness and practical applicability. Patents cannot be granted for scientific discoveries, rules and methods for intellectual activities, methods used to diagnose or treat diseases, animal and plant breeds or substances obtained by means of nuclear transformation. The Patent Office under the State Intellectual Property Office is responsible for receiving, examining and approving patent applications. A patent is valid for a twenty-year term for an invention and a ten-year term for a utility model or design, starting from the application date. Except under certain specific circumstances provided by law, any third party user must obtain consent or a proper license from the patent owner to use the patent, otherwise the use will constitute an infringement of the rights of the patent holder.

*Domain Name*

 

On November 5, 2004, the MIIT promulgated the Measures for Administration of Domain Names for the Chinese Internet, or the Domain Name Measures. According to the Domain Name Measures, "domain name" shall refer to the character identifier for identifying and locating the hierarchical structure of a computer on the Internet, which corresponds to the Internet protocol (IP) address of the computer concerned. A domain name registration service shall observe the principle of "first apply, first register". Where the domain name is completed, the applicant for the domain name registration shall be the holder of the domain name.

**Regulations on Foreign Exchange**

*Foreign Exchange Settlement*

 

The Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming the Management Approach regarding the Settlement of Foreign Exchange Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, which was promulgated by the SAFE on March 30, 2015 and became effective as of June 1, 2015, adopts the approach of discretional foreign exchange settlement, under which the foreign exchange capital in the capital account of a foreign-invested enterprise for which the foreign-invested enterprise has obtained confirmation by the local SAFE branches regarding the rights and interests of monetary contribution (or the book-entry registration of monetary contribution by the banks) can be settled at the banks based on the actual operation needs of such foreign-invested enterprise. The capital in Renminbi obtained by the foreign-invested enterprise from the discretionary settlement of foreign exchange capital shall be managed under the account pending for foreign exchange settlement payment. The proportion of discretionary settlement of foreign exchange capital is temporarily determined as 100%, subject to the adjustment of the SAFE.

*Regulations Relating to Foreign Exchange Registration of Overseas Investment by PRC Residents*

 

SAFE Circular 37 promulgated by the SAFE in July 2014, requires PRC residents or entities to register with the SAFE or its local branch their establishment or control of an offshore entity established for the purpose of overseas investment or financing. In addition, such PRC residents or entities must update their SAFE registrations when the offshore special purpose vehicle undergoes material events relating to any change of its basic information (including change of such PRC citizens or residents, name and operation term, and etc.) increases or decreases in investment amount, transfers or exchanges of shares, or mergers or divisions, etc.

SAFE further enacted the Notice of the SAFE on Further Simplifying and Improving the Foreign Exchange Management Policies for Direct Investment, or the SAFE Notice 13, on February 13, 2015, which allows PRC residents or entities to register with qualified banks their establishment or control of an offshore entity established for the purpose of overseas investment or financing. However, remedial registration applications made by PRC residents that previously failed to comply with the SAFE Circular 37 will continue to fall under the jurisdiction of the relevant local branch of the SAFE. In the event that a PRC shareholder holding interests in a special purpose vehicle fails to fulfill the required SAFE registration, the PRC subsidiaries of that special purpose vehicle may be prohibited from distributing profits to the offshore parent and from carrying out subsequent cross-border foreign exchange activities. Further, the special purpose vehicle may be restricted in its ability to contribute additional capital into its PRC subsidiary.

**Regulations Relating to Dividend Distribution**

The principal laws and regulations regulating the distribution of dividends by FIEs in the PRC include the Company Law of the PRC, as amended in 1999, 2004, 2005, 2013 and 2018, the Wholly Foreign-owned Enterprise Law of the PRC promulgated in 1986 and last amended in 2016 and its implementation regulations promulgated in 1990 and subsequently amended in 2001 and 2014, the Equity Joint Venture Law of the PRC promulgated in 1979 and last amended in 2016 and its implementation regulations promulgated in 1983 and last amended in 2014, and the Cooperative Joint Venture Law of the PRC promulgated in 1988 and last amended in 2017 and its implementation regulations promulgated in 1995 and last amended in 2017.

Except otherwise provided by the laws regarding foreign investment, a PRC company is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profit as general reserves until the cumulative amount of such reserves reaches 50% of the company's registered capital. A PRC company shall not distribute any profits until any losses from prior fiscal years have been offset. Profits retained from prior fiscal years may be distributed together with distributable profits from the current fiscal year.

**Regulations Relating to Foreign Debts**

Considering that certain foreign debts may be generated during the oversea or domestic investment from PRC residents, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange promulgated the Administrative Measures for Registration of Foreign Debts, or the Measures, on April 28, 2013 and became effective on May 13, 2013. This Measures require the entity to complete several regulatory procedures in terms of foreign debts. For example, after borrowed the foreign debts, debtors shall carry out registration on local SAFE in relation to the execution of the contract, the drawdown, the prepayment or the foreign exchange settlement and sales within a specific period. For any change of the foreign debts contract, an amendment registration shall be carried out with the local SAFE.

**Regulations Relating to Employment and Social Insurance**

Pursuant to the PRC Labor Law effective as of January 1, 1995 (as amended on August 27, 2009), and the PRC Labor Contract Law effective as of January 1, 2008 (as amended on December 28, 2012), a written labor contract shall be executed by employer and an employee when the employment relationship is established, and an employer is under an obligation to sign an unlimited- term labor contract with any employee who has worked for the employer for ten consecutive years. In addition, if an employee requests or agrees to renew a fixed-term labor contract that has already been entered into twice consecutively, the resulting contract must include an unlimited term, with certain exceptions. All employers are required to establish a system for labor safety and sanitation, strictly abide by state rules and standards and provide employees with appropriate workplace safety training. Moreover, all PRC enterprises are generally required to implement a standard working time system of eight hours a day and forty hours a week, and if the implementation of such standard working time system is not appropriate due to the nature of the job or the on, the enterprise may implement a flexible working time system or comprehensive working time system after obtaining approvals from the relevant authorities.

According to the Social Insurance Law of China effective from July 1, 2011, and the Housing Fund Regulation which was amended and became effective on March 24, 2002, employers in China shall pay contributions to the social insurance plan and the housing fund plan for their employees, and such contribution amount payable shall be calculated based on the employee actual salary in accordance with the relevant regulations.

**Regulations on Tax**

*PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law*

 

On March 16, 2007, the National People's Congress promulgated the Law of the PRC on Enterprise Income Tax, which was amended on February 24, 2017 and December 29, 2018, and on December 6, 2007, the State Council of the PRC enacted The Regulations for the Implementation of the Law on Enterprise Income Tax, or collectively, the EIT Law. According to the EIT Law, taxpayers consist of resident enterprises and non-resident enterprises. Resident enterprises are defined as enterprises that are established in China in accordance with PRC laws, or that are established in accordance with the laws of foreign countries but whose "de facto management body" is located in the PRC. Non-resident enterprises are defined as enterprises that are set up in accordance with the laws of foreign countries and whose de facto management body is located outside the PRC, but have either established institutions or premises in the PRC or have income generated from inside the PRC. Under the EIT Law and relevant implementing regulations, enterprises are subject to a uniform corporate income tax rate of 25%. However, if non-resident enterprises have not formed permanent establishments or premises in the PRC, or if they have formed permanent establishments or premises in the PRC but their relevant income derived in the PRC is not related to those establishments, then their enterprise income tax would be set at a rate of 10% for their income sourced from inside the PRC.

As noted, the EIT Law provides that an income tax rate of 10% will be applicable to dividends or other gains received by investors who are "non-resident enterprises" and who meet the requirements for the lower enterprise income tax rate. Such income tax on dividends may be reduced further by the tax treaties between China and the jurisdictions in which our non-PRC shareholders reside. Specifically, pursuant to an Arrangement between the PRC and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Prevention of Fiscal Evasion, or the Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement, and other applicable PRC laws, if a Hong Kong enterprise (being the beneficial owner of dividends from a PRC enterprise) is determined by the competent PRC tax authority to have satisfied the relevant conditions and requirements under such Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement and other applicable laws, the 10% withholding tax on the dividends that the Hong Kong enterprise receives from the PRC enterprise may be reduced to 5% subject to approval from the relevant tax authority. However, based on the Notice on Certain Issues with Respect to the Enforcement of Dividend Provisions in Tax Treaties, or Notice No. 81, issued on February 20, 2009 by the State Tax Administration, if the relevant PRC tax authorities determine, in their discretion, that a company benefits from such reduced income tax rate due to a corporate structure or arrangement that is primarily tax-driven, such PRC tax authorities may adjust the preferential tax treatment. Moreover, based on the Announcement on Certain Issues Concerning the Recognition of Beneficial Owners in Tax Treaties, which was issued on February 3, 2018 by the State Tax Administration, conduit companies, which are established for the purpose of evading or reducing tax, or transferring or accumulating profits, shall not be recognized as beneficial owners and are thus not entitled to the above tax benefits.

*PRC Value-added Tax Law*

 

The Provisional Regulations of the PRC on Value-added Tax were promulgated by the State Council of the PRC on December 13, 1993 and subsequently amended on November 10, 2008, February 6, 2016 and November 19, 2017. The Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Provisional Regulations of the PRC on Value-added Tax (Revised in 2011) was promulgated by the Ministry of Finance and the SAT on December 15, 2008 and subsequently amended on October 28, 2011 (collectively, the "VAT Law"). According to the VAT Law, all enterprises and individuals engaged in the sale of goods, provision of processing, repair and replacement services, and importation of goods within the territory of the PRC must pay value-added tax, or VAT. Other than exports (subject to 0% VAT rate) and certain products listed in the VAT Law (subject to 11% VAT rate), the sale and importation of goods were generally subject to a VAT rate of 17%. Pursuant to the Circular of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on Adjusting Value-added Tax Rates, which became effective on May 1, 2018, the previous applicable VAT rate of 17% and 11% are adjusted to 16% and 10%, respectively.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**

 

The following discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be important to understanding other statements in this Report. The following information should be read in conjunction with Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Form 10-K.

 

The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company's actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, operating results and stock price. In particular, our risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

***Risks Related to Our Business***

 ****

● We are an early stage company with a limited operating history. Our limited operating history may not provide an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.

● We face intense competition and could lose market share to our competitors, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

● We could be subject to claims from riders, drivers or third parties that are harmed whether or not our service or platform is in use, which could adversely affect our business, brand, financial condition and results of operations.

● We rely on other third-party service providers and if such third parties do not perform adequately or terminate their relationships with us, our costs may increase and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

● If we are not able to successfully develop new offerings and enhance our existing offerings, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

● Any failure to offer high-quality user support may harm our relationships with users and could adversely affect our reputation, brand, business, financial condition and results of operations.

● Our business could be adversely impacted by changes in the Internet and mobile device accessibility of users and unfavorable changes in or our failure to comply with existing or future laws governing the Internet and mobile devices.

● The impact of any kind of epidemic, such as the coronavirus, on our operations, and the operations of the car fleet companies, may harm our business.

● We rely on mobile operating systems and application marketplaces to make our apps available to the drivers and riders on our platform, and if we do not effectively operate with or receive favorable placements within such application marketplaces and maintain high rider reviews, our usage or brand recognition could decline and our business, financial results and results of operations could be adversely affected.

● We depend on the interoperability of our platform across third-party applications and services that we do not control.

● Failure to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

● Our platform contains third-party open source software components, and failure to comply with the terms of the underlying open source software licenses could restrict our ability to provide our offerings.

● Failure to maintain our reputation and brand image could negatively impact our business.

● Our success is dependent on retaining key personnel who would be difficult to replace.

● The legal requirements associated with being a public company, including those contained in and issued under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, may make it difficult for us to retain or attract qualified officers and directors, which could adversely affect the management of our business and our ability to obtain listing of our common stock

● If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our business and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.

● Operating as a public company requires us to incur substantial costs and requires substantial management attention. In addition, key members of our management team have limited experience managing a public company.

● As an "emerging growth company" under applicable law, we will be subject to lessened disclosure requirements, which could leave our shareholders without information or rights available to shareholders of more mature companies.

● Because we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards for an "emerging growth company," our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

***Risks Related to Doing Business in China***

 ****

● Changes in the political and economic policies of the PRC government may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and may result in our inability to sustain our growth and expansion strategies.

● There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, rules and regulations.

● The PRC government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we conduct our business activities. The PRC government may also intervene or influence our operations and this offering at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and our common stock could decline in value or become worthless.

● The CSRC has enacted the draft rules for China-based companies seeking to conduct initial public offerings in foreign markets. While such rules have not yet gone into effect and we have determined we are not subject to the measures, the CSRC may exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our common stock to investors and could cause the value of our common stock to significantly decline or become worthless.

● Failure to make adequate contributions to various employee benefit plans and withhold individual income tax on employees' salaries as required by PRC regulations may subject us to penalties.

● We must remit the offering proceeds to China before they may be used to benefit our business in China, and we cannot assure that we can finish all necessary governmental registration processes in a timely manner.

● If relations between the United States and China worsen, investors may be unwilling to hold or buy our stock and our stock price may decrease.

● The fluctuation of the Renminbi may have a material adverse effect on your investment.

● Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenue effectively.

● The PRC's legal and judicial system may not adequately protect our business and operations and the rights of foreign investors.

● Because our principal assets are located outside of the United States, it may be difficult for you to enforce your rights based on U.S. federal securities laws against us or to enforce a U.S. court judgment against us or our operating subsidiaries in the PRC and in Hong Kong

● Our operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by future PRC laws and regulations relating to our business or industry, if we inadvertently conclude that such approvals or permissions, including business licenses, are not required when they are, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we are required to obtain approvals or permissions in the future.

● You may face difficulties in protecting your interests and exercising your rights as our stockholder since we conduct the bulk of our operations in China.

● We and our shareholders face uncertainties with respect to indirect transfers of equity interests in PRC resident enterprises or other assets attributed to a Chinese establishment of a non-Chinese company, or immovable properties located in China owned by non-Chinese companies.

● The future development of national security laws and regulations in Hong Kong could materially impact our business by possibly triggering sanctions and other measures which can cause economic harm to our business.

● Potential political and economic instability in Hong Kong may adversely impact our results of operations. We may also face the risk that changes in the policies of the PRC government could have a significant impact upon the business we conduct in Hong Kong and the profitability of such business.

● Our Hong Kong and Shenzhen subsidiaries may be subject to restrictions on paying dividends or making other payments to us, which may restrict its ability to satisfy liquidity requirements, conduct business and pay dividends to holders of our common stock. Dividends payable to our foreign investors and gains on the sale of our shares of common stock by our foreign investors may become subject to tax by the PRC.

● Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, and the related regulations are evolving quickly. Further implementations and interpretations of our amendments to the HFCAA or the related regulations, or a PCAOB's determination of its lack of sufficient access to inspect our auditor, might pose regulatory risks to and impose restrictions on us because of our operations in mainland China that PCAOB may not be able to inspect or investigate completely such audit documentation and, as such, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection and our ordinary share could be delisted from the stock exchange pursuant to the HFCAA.

**Risks Related to Our Common Stock**

● Our majority stockholders will control our company for the foreseeable future, including the outcome of matters requiring shareholder approval.

● No public market for our common stock currently exists, and an active trading market may not develop or be sustained following this offering.

● While we believe our revenues and cash on hand are adequate to meet our immediate needs, we may require additional funding in order to progress our business in the future. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate portions of our business.

● There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

● Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to our technologies or product candidates.

● Even if our common stock becomes publicly-traded and an active trading market develops, the market price for our common stock may be volatile.

● Our common stock may be thinly traded and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.

● Our common stock may be considered a "penny stock," and thereby be subject to additional sale and trading regulations that may make it more difficult to sell.

● FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit your ability to buy and sell shares of our common stock, which could depress the price of shares of our common stock.

● You may face significant restrictions on the resale of your shares of our common stock due to state "blue sky" laws.

● Potential future sales under Rule 144 may depress the market price for the common stock.

● Volatility in our common stock price may subject us to securities litigation.

● We are not likely to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

● U.S. investors may experience difficulties in attempting to effect a service of process and enforce judgments based upon U.S. Federal Securities Laws against the company and its non U.S. resident officer and director.

● The Company is selling shares without an underwriter and may not be able to sell all or any of the shares offered herein.

● The exclusive forum provision in our subscription agreement may have the effect of limiting a purchaser's ability to bring legal action against the company and could limit a purchaser's ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes.

● Purchasers in this offering may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the subscription agreement, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any such action.

*Because of the following factors, as well as other factors affecting the Company's financial condition and operating results, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.*

 

 

**Risks Related to Our Business**

***We are an early stage company with a limited operating history. Our limited operating history may not provide an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.***

We have a limited operating history. Our first operating subsidiary, Pony Limousine Services Limited was established in Hong Kong on April 28, 2018 to engage in providing car services to travelers between Guangdong Province and Hong Kong. Pony Group Inc. was established in the State of Delaware on January 7, 2019. We have limited experience and operating history in the travel industry. Our limited history may not provide a meaningful basis for investors to evaluate our business, financial performance and prospects.

 ****

***We face intense competition and could lose market share to our competitors, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

The market for car services is intensely competitive and characterized by rapid changes in technology, shifting rider needs and frequent introductions of new services and offerings. We expect competition to continue, both from current competitors and new entrants in the market that may be well-established and enjoy greater resources or other strategic advantages. If we are unable to anticipate or react to these competitive challenges, our competitive position could weaken, or fail to improve, and we could experience a decline in revenue or growth stagnation that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our main competitors in mainland China and Hong Kong include Shenzhen Anxun Automobile Rental Co., Ltd., The Motor Transport Company of Guangdong and Hong Kong Limited and China Comfort (Shenzhen) Travel Services Co., Ltd.

Certain of our competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing, research and development, manufacturing and other resources, greater name recognition, longer operating histories or a larger user base than we do. They may be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of offerings and offer lower prices than we do, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Further, they may have greater resources to deploy towards the research, development and commercialization of new technologies, or they may have other financial, technical or resource advantages. These factors may allow our competitors to derive greater revenue and profits from their existing user bases, attract and retain new qualified drivers and new riders at lower costs or respond more quickly to new and emerging technologies and trends. Our current and potential competitors may also establish cooperative or strategic relationships amongst themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their resources and offerings.

We believe that our ability to compete effectively depends upon many factors both within and beyond our control, including:

● the popularity, utility, ease of use, performance and reliability of our offerings compared to those of our competitors;

● our reputation and brand strength relative to our competitors;

● the prices of our offerings and the fees we charge drivers on our platform;

● our ability to attract and retain qualified drivers and riders;

● our ability, and the ability of our competitors, to develop new offerings;

● our ability to establish and maintain relationships with partners;

● changes mandated by, or that we elect to make, to address, legislation, regulatory authorities or litigation, including settlements, judgments, injunctions and consent decrees;

● our ability to attract, retain and motivate talented employees;

● our ability to raise additional capital; and

● acquisitions or consolidation within our industry.

If we are unable to compete successfully, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

***We could be subject to claims from riders, drivers or third parties that are harmed whether or not our service or platform is in use, which could adversely affect our business, brand, financial condition and results of operations.***

We could be subject to claims, lawsuits, investigations and other legal proceedings relating to injuries to, or deaths of, riders, drivers or third parties that are attributed to us through our offerings. We may also be subject to claims alleging that we are directly or vicariously liable for the acts of the drivers from the car fleet companies that we collaborated with. We may be subject to personal injury claims whether or not such injury actually occurred as a result of activity on our platform. Regardless of the outcome of any legal proceeding, any injuries to, or deaths of, any riders, drivers or third parties could result in negative publicity and harm to our brand, reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. Any of the foregoing risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***We rely on other third-party service providers and if such third parties do not perform adequately or terminate their relationships with us, our costs may increase and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.***

Our success depends in part on our relationships with other third-party service providers, such as Hong Kong Wanjin Industry Co., Limited and Yahong Business Limited. Further, from time to time, we enter into collaboration arrangement in connection with car fleets and drivers. If any of our partners terminates its relationship with us or refuses to renew its agreement with us on commercially reasonable terms, we would need to find an alternate provider, and may not be able to secure similar terms or replace such providers in an acceptable timeframe. We also rely on other software and services supplied by third parties, such as communications and internal software, and our business may be adversely affected to the extent such software and services do not meet our expectations, contain errors or vulnerabilities, are compromised or experience outages. Any of these risks could increase our costs and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, any negative publicity related to any of our third-party partners, including any publicity related to quality standards or safety concerns, could adversely affect our reputation and brand, and could potentially lead to increased regulatory or litigation exposure.

***If we are not able to successfully develop new offerings and enhance our existing offerings, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.***

Our ability to attract new riders, retain existing riders and increase utilization of our offerings will depend in part on our ability to successfully create and introduce new offerings and to improve upon and enhance our existing offerings. As a result, we may introduce significant changes to our existing offerings or develop and introduce new and unproven offerings. Furthermore, new rider demands regarding service, the availability of superior competitive offerings or a deterioration in the quality of our offerings or our ability to bring new or enhanced offerings to market quickly and efficiently could negatively affect the attractiveness of our service and the economics of our business and require us to make substantial changes to and additional investments in our offerings or our business model. In addition, we frequently experiment with and test different offerings and marketing strategies. If these experiments and tests are unsuccessful, or if the offerings and strategies we introduce based on the results of such experiments and tests do not perform as expected, our ability to attract new qualified drivers and new riders, retain existing qualified drivers and existing riders and maintain or increase utilization of our offerings may be adversely affected.

Developing and launching new offerings or enhancements to the existing offerings involves significant risks and uncertainties, including risks related to the reception of such offerings by existing and potential future riders, increases in operational complexity, unanticipated delays or challenges in implementing such offerings or enhancements, increased strain on our operational and internal resources (including an impairment of our ability to accurately forecast rider demand) and negative publicity in the event such new or enhanced offerings are perceived to be unsuccessful. We have scaled our business rapidly, and significant new initiatives have in the past resulted in, and in the future may result in, operational challenges affecting our business. In addition, developing and launching new offerings and enhancements to our existing offerings may involve significant upfront capital investments and such investments may not generate return on investment. Any of the foregoing risks and challenges could negatively impact our ability to attract and retain qualified drivers and riders, our ability to increase utilization of our offerings and our visibility into expected results of operations, and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, since we are focused on building our community and ecosystems for the long-term, our near-term results of operations may be impacted by our investments in the future.

***Any failure to offer high-quality user support may harm our relationships with users and could adversely affect our reputation, brand, business, financial condition and results of operations.***

Our ability to attract and retain riders is dependent in part on the ease and reliability of our offerings, including our ability to provide high-quality support. Our customers depend on our support organization to resolve any issues relating to our offerings, such as being overcharged for a ride, leaving something in a driver's vehicle or reporting a safety incident. Our ability to provide effective and timely support is largely dependent on our ability to attract and retain service providers who are qualified to support users and sufficiently knowledgeable regarding our offerings. As we continue to grow our business and improve our offerings, we will face challenges related to providing quality support services at scale. If we grow our international rider base, our support organization will face additional challenges, including those associated with delivering support in languages other than Chinese. Any failure to provide efficient user support, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality support, could adversely affect our reputation, brand, business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Systems failures and resulting interruptions in the availability of our website, applications, platform or offerings could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

Our systems, or those of third parties upon which we rely, may experience service interruptions or degradation because of hardware and software defects or malfunctions, distributed denial-of-service and other cyberattacks, human error, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, natural disasters, power losses, disruptions in telecommunications services, fraud, military or political conflicts, terrorist attacks, computer viruses, ransomware, malware or other events. Our systems also may be subject to break-ins, sabotage, theft and intentional acts of vandalism, including by our own employees. Some of our systems are not fully redundant and our disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient for all eventualities. Our business interruption insurance may not be sufficient to cover all of our losses that may result from interruptions in our service as a result of systems failures and similar events.

We will likely continue to experience system failures and other events or conditions from time to time that interrupt the availability or reduce or affect the speed or functionality of our offerings. These events have resulted in, and similar future events could result in, losses of revenue. A prolonged interruption in the availability or reduction in the availability, speed or other functionality of our offerings could adversely affect our business and reputation and could result in the loss of users. Moreover, to the extent that any system failure or similar event results in harm or losses to the users using our platform, we may make voluntary payments to compensate for such harm or the affected users could seek monetary recourse or contractual remedies from us for their losses and such claims, even if unsuccessful, would likely be time-consuming and costly for us to address.

***Our business could be adversely impacted by changes in the Internet and mobile device accessibility of users and unfavorable changes in or our failure to comply with existing or future laws governing the Internet and mobile devices.***

Our business depends on users' access to our platform via a mobile device and the Internet. We may operate in jurisdictions that provide limited Internet connectivity, particularly as we expand internationally. Internet access and access to a mobile device are frequently provided by companies with significant market power that could take actions that degrade, disrupt or increase the cost of users' ability to access our platform. In addition, the Internet infrastructure that we and users of our platform rely on in any particular geographic area may be unable to support the demands placed upon it. Any such failure in Internet or mobile device accessibility, even for a short period of time, could adversely affect our results of operations.

***The impact of any kind of epidemic, such as the coronavirus, on our operations, and the operations of the car fleet companies, may harm our business.***

Our business could be adversely affected by the outbreaks of epidemics in China and globally, such as the Corona Virus Disease 2019, or COVID-19 originated in Wuhan, China, Ebola virus disease, H1N1 flu, H7N9 flu, avian flu, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, or other epidemics. Past occurrences of epidemics have caused different degrees of damage to the national and local economies. A recurrence of an outbreak of any kind of epidemic could cause a slowdown in the levels of economic activity generally, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Should major public health issues, including pandemics, arise, we could be adversely affected by more stringent travel restrictions, additional limitations in car services and governmental actions limiting the movement of people between regions.

Moreover, we are subject to a number of laws and regulations specifically governing the Internet and mobile devices that are constantly evolving. Existing and future laws and regulations, or changes thereto, may impede the growth and availability of the Internet and online offerings, require us to change our business practices or raise compliance costs or other costs of doing business. These laws and regulations, which continue to evolve, cover taxation, privacy and data protection, pricing, copyrights, distribution, mobile and other communications, advertising practices, consumer protections, the provision of online payment services, unencumbered Internet access to our offerings and the characteristics and quality of online offerings, among other things. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with any of these laws or regulations could result in damage to our reputation and brand a loss in business and proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others, which could adversely impact our results of operations.

***We rely on mobile operating systems and application marketplaces to make our apps available to the drivers and riders on our platform, and if we do not effectively operate with or receive favorable placements within such application marketplaces and maintain high rider reviews, our usage or brand recognition could decline and our business, financial results and results of operations could be adversely affected.***

We depend in part on mobile operating systems, such as Android and iOS, and their respective application marketplaces to make our apps available to the drivers and riders on our platform. Any changes in such systems and application marketplaces that degrade the functionality of our apps or give preferential treatment to our competitors' apps could adversely affect our platform's usage on mobile devices. If such mobile operating systems or application marketplaces limit or prohibit us from making our apps available to drivers and riders, make changes that degrade the functionality of our apps, increase the cost of using our apps, impose terms of use unsatisfactory to us or modify their search or ratings algorithms in ways that are detrimental to us, or if our competitors' placement in such mobile operating systems' application marketplace is more prominent than the placement of our apps, overall growth in our rider or driver base could slow. Our apps have experienced fluctuations in number of downloads in the past, and we anticipate similar fluctuations in the future. Any of the foregoing risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As new mobile devices and mobile platforms are released, there is no guarantee that certain mobile devices will continue to support our platform or effectively roll out updates to our apps. Additionally, in order to deliver high-quality apps, we need to ensure that our offerings are designed to work effectively with a range of mobile technologies, systems, networks and standards. We may not be successful in developing or maintaining relationships with key participants in the mobile industry that enhance drivers' and riders' experience. If drivers or riders on our platform encounter any difficulty accessing or using our apps on their mobile devices or if we are unable to adapt to changes in popular mobile operating systems, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

***We depend on the interoperability of our platform across third-party applications and services that we do not control.***

We have integrations with AutoNavi Maps (also known as Gaode Maps) and a variety of other productivity, collaboration, travel, data management and security vendors. As our offerings expand and evolve, including as we develop autonomous technology, we may have an increasing number of integrations with other third-party applications, products and services. Third-party applications, products and services are constantly evolving, and we may not be able to maintain or modify our platform to ensure its compatibility with third-party offerings following development changes. As our mobile application and respective products evolve, we expect the types and levels of competition to increase. Should any of our competitors or technology partners modify their products, standards or terms of use in a manner that degrades the functionality or performance of our platform or is otherwise unsatisfactory to us or gives preferential treatment to competitive products or services, our products, platform, business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

***Failure to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

Our success is dependent in part upon protecting our intellectual property rights and technology (such as code, information, data, processes and other forms of information, knowhow and technology), or intellectual property. We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to establish and protect our intellectual property. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property may not be sufficient or effective. Even if we do detect violations, we may need to engage in litigation to enforce our rights. Any enforcement efforts we undertake, including litigation, could be time-consuming and expensive and could divert management attention. While we take precautions designed to protect our intellectual property, it may still be possible for competitors and other unauthorized third parties to copy our technology and use our proprietary information to create or enhance competing solutions and services, which could adversely affect our position in our rapidly evolving and highly competitive industry.

We may be required to spend significant resources in order to monitor and protect our intellectual property rights, and some violations may be difficult or impossible to detect. Litigation to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time-consuming and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. Our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. Our inability to protect our proprietary technology against unauthorized copying or use, as well as any costly litigation or diversion of our management's attention and resources, could impair the functionality of our platform, delay introductions of enhancements to our platform, result in our substituting inferior or more costly technologies into our platform or harm our reputation or brand. In addition, we may be required to license additional technology from third parties to develop and market new offerings or platform features, which may not be on commercially reasonable terms or at all and could adversely affect our ability to compete.

Our industry has also been subject to attempts to steal intellectual property, particularly regarding autonomous vehicle development, including by foreign actors. We, along with others in our industry, have been the target of attempted thefts of our intellectual property and may be subject to such attempts in the future. Although we take measures to protect our property, if we are unable to prevent the theft of our intellectual property or its exploitation, the value of our investments may be undermined and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be negatively impacted.

***Our platform contains third-party open source software components, and failure to comply with the terms of the underlying open source software licenses could restrict our ability to provide our offerings.***

Our platform contains software modules licensed to us by third-party authors under "open source" licenses. Use and distribution of open source software may entail greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide support, warranties, indemnification or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. In addition, the public availability of such software may make it easier for others to compromise our platform.

Some open source licenses contain requirements that we make available source code for modifications or derivative works we create based upon the type of open source software we use, or grant other licenses to our intellectual property. If we combine our proprietary software with open source software in a certain manner, we could, under certain open source licenses, be required to release the source code of our proprietary software to the public. This would allow our competitors to create similar offerings with lower development effort and time and ultimately could result in a loss of our competitive advantages. Alternatively, to avoid the public release of the affected portions of our source code, we could be required to expend substantial time and resources to re-engineer some or all of our software. If we are held by the court to have breached or failed to fully comply with all the terms and conditions of an open source software license, we could face infringement or other liability, or be required to seek costly licenses from third parties to continue providing our offerings on terms that are not economically feasible, to re-engineer our platform, to discontinue or delay the provision of our offerings if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely basis or to make generally available, in source code form, our proprietary code, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business and results of operations are also subject to global economic conditions, including any resulting effect on spending by us or our riders. If general economic conditions deteriorate in China or in other markets where we operate, discretionary spending may decline and demand for ridesharing may be reduced. An economic downturn resulting in a prolonged recessionary period may have a further adverse effect on our revenue.

 ****

***Failure to maintain our reputation and brand image could negatively impact our business.***

Our brand has received a certain level of recognition in mainland China, Hong Kong. Our success depends on our ability to maintain and enhance our brand image and reputation. We could be adversely affected if our brand is tarnished or receives negative publicity. In addition, adverse publicity about regulatory or legal action against us could damage our reputation and brand image, undermine consumer confidence in us, and reduce long-term demand for our products, even if the regulatory or legal action is unfounded or not material to our operations.

In addition, our success in maintaining, extending and expanding our brand image depends on our ability to adapt to a rapidly changing media and internet environment, including our reliance on online advertising. Negative posts or comments about us on social networking websites could seriously damage our reputation and brand image. If we do not maintain, extend and expand our brand image, our product sales, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

***Our success is dependent on retaining key personnel who would be difficult to replace.***

Our success depends largely on the continued services of our key management members. In particular, our success depends on the continued efforts of Ms. Wenxian Fan, our founder and Chief Executive Officer, President and Director. There can be no assurance that Ms. Fan will continue in her present capacities for any particular period of time. The loss of the services of Ms. Fan could materially and adversely affect our business development and our ability to expand and grow.

***The legal requirements associated with being a public company, including those contained in and issued under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, may make it difficult for us to retain or attract qualified officers and directors, which could adversely affect the management of our business and our ability to obtain listing of our common stock***.

We may be unable to attract and retain qualified officers and directors necessary to provide for our effective management because of the rules and regulations that govern publicly listed companies, including, but not limited to, certifications by principal executive officers. Currently, our Chief Executive Officer does not have extensive experience in operating a U.S. public company. Moreover, the actual and perceived personal risks associated with compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other public company requirements may deter qualified individuals from accepting roles as directors and executive officers. At present, we do not maintain an independent board of directors. Further, the requirements for board or committee membership, particularly with respect to an individual's independence and level of experience in finance and accounting matters, may make it difficult to attract and retain qualified board members going forward. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified officers and directors, the management of our business and our ability to obtain or retain the listing of our common stock on any stock exchange (assuming we are able to obtain such listing) could be adversely affected.

***If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our business and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock***.

We are required to establish and maintain internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure controls and to comply with other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") thereunder. Our senior management, which currently consists of Ms. Fan, cannot guarantee that our internal controls and disclosure procedures will prevent all possible errors or 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 benefit of controls must be relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no system of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our 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. Further, controls can be circumvented by individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more persons, or by management's override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also 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. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

***Operating as a public company requires us to incur substantial costs and requires substantial management attention. In addition, key members of our management team have limited experience managing a public company.***

 ****

As a public company, we will incur substantial legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. For example, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the rules and regulations of the SEC. For example, the Exchange Act requires, among other things, we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business, financial condition and results of operations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, and increase demand on our systems, particularly after we are no longer an emerging growth company. In addition, as a public company, we may be subject to stockholder activism, which can lead to additional substantial costs, distract management and impact the manner in which we operate our business in ways we cannot currently anticipate. As a result of disclosure of information in this prospectus and in filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition will become more visible, which may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors.

Our current management has limited experience managing a publicly traded company, interacting with public company investors and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. Our management team may not successfully or efficiently manage our transition to being a public company subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under the federal securities laws and the continuous scrutiny of securities analysts and investors. These new obligations and constituents will require significant attention from our senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***As an "emerging growth company" under applicable law, we will be subject to lessened disclosure requirements, which could leave our shareholders without information or rights available to shareholders of more mature companies.***

For as long as we remain an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (which we refer to herein as the JOBS Act), we have elected to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies" including, but not limited to:

● not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

● taking advantage of an extension of time to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards;

● reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and

● exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

We expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an "emerging growth company." Because of these lessened regulatory requirements, our shareholders would be left without information or rights available to shareholders of more mature companies.

***Because we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards for an "emerging growth company," our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.***

We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. Consequently, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. As such, investors may have difficulty evaluating or comparing our business, performance or prospects in comparison to other public companies, which may have a negative impact on the value and liquidity of shares of our common stock.

**Risks Related to Doing Business in China**

***Changes in the political and economic policies of the PRC government may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and may result in our inability to sustain our growth and expansion strategies.***

Most of our operations are conducted in the PRC and a significant percentage of our revenue is sourced from the PRC. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations are affected to a significant extent by economic, political and legal developments in the PRC or changes in government relations between China and the United States or other governments. There is significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and China with respect to trade policies, treaties, government regulations and tariffs.

The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the extent of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. Although the PRC government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets, and the establishment of improved corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the government. In addition, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. The PRC government also exercises significant control over China's economic growth by allocating resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy, regulating financial services and institutions and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

While the PRC economy has experienced significant growth in the past three decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall PRC economy, but may also have a negative effect on us. Our financial condition and results of operation could be materially and adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us. In addition, the PRC government has implemented in the past certain measures, including interest rate increases, to control the pace of economic growth. These measures may cause decreased economic activity, which in turn could lead to a reduction in demand for our services and consequently have a material adverse effect on our businesses, financial condition and results of operations.

In July 2021, the Chinese government provided new guidance on China-based companies raising capital outside of China, including through VIE arrangements. In light of such developments, the SEC has imposed enhanced disclosure requirements on China-based companies seeking to register securities with the SEC. As substantially all of our operations are based in China, any future Chinese, U.S. or other rules and regulations that place restrictions on capital raising or other activities by China based companies could adversely affect our business and results of operations. If the business environment in China deteriorates from the perspective of domestic or international investment, or if relations between China and the United States or other governments deteriorate, the Chinese government may intervene with our operations and our business in China and United States, as well as the market price of our common stock, may also be adversely affected.

***There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, rules and regulations.***

Most of our operations are conducted in the PRC, and are governed by PRC laws, rules and regulations. Our PRC subsidiary are subject to laws, rules and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China. The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike the common law system, prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value.

In 1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws, rules and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation over the past four decades has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investment in China. However, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system, and recently enacted laws, rules and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China or may be subject to significant degrees of interpretation by PRC regulatory agencies. In particular, because these laws, rules and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited number of published decisions and the nonbinding nature of such decisions, and because the laws, rules and regulations often give the relevant regulator significant discretion in how to enforce them, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws, rules and regulations involve uncertainties and can be inconsistent and unpredictable. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules, some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all, and which may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until after the occurrence of the violation.

Any administrative and court proceedings in China may be protracted, resulting in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy than in more developed legal systems. These uncertainties may impede our ability to enforce the contracts we have entered into and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the "Opinions on Severely Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities According to Law," or the Opinions, which was made available to the public on July 6, 2021. The Opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities, and the need to strengthen the supervision over overseas listings by Chinese companies. Effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems will be taken to deal with the risks and incidents of China-concept overseas listed companies, and cybersecurity and data privacy protection requirements and similar matters. The Opinions remain unclear on how the law will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant PRC governmental authorities, but the Opinions and any related implementing rules to be enacted may subject us to compliance requirements in the future.

On July 10, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China issued a revised draft of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review for public comments, which required that, among others, in addition to "operator of critical information infrastructure", any "data processor" controlling personal information of no less than one million users which seeks to list in a foreign stock exchange should also be subject to cybersecurity review, and further elaborated the factors to be considered when assessing the national security risks of the relevant activities.

On November 14, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China released the Regulations on Network Data Security (draft for public comments) and accepted public comments until December 13, 2021. The draft Regulations on Network Data Security provide that data processors refer to individuals or organizations that autonomously determine the purpose and the manner of processing data. If a data processor that processes personal data of more than one million users intends to list overseas, it shall apply for a cybersecurity review. In addition, data processors that process important data or are listed overseas shall carry out an annual data security assessment on their own or by engaging a data security services institution, and the data security assessment report for the prior year should be submitted to the local cyberspace affairs administration department before January 31 of each year.

On December 28, 2021, the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version) was promulgated and took effect on February 15, 2022, which iterates that any "online platform operators" controlling personal information of more than one million users which seeks to list in a foreign stock exchange should also be subject to cybersecurity review. Further, Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version) was recently adopted and the Network Internet Data Protection Draft Regulations (draft for comments) is in the process of being formulated and the Opinions remain unclear on how it will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant PRC governmental authorities.

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance, the National Administration of State Secrets Protection and the National Archives Administration jointly issued the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Confidentiality and Archives Provisions (the "CAP"), which will take effective from March 31, 2023. The Confidentiality and Archives Provisions specify that during the overseas issuance of securities and listing activities of domestic enterprises, domestic enterprises and securities companies and securities service institutions that provide relevant securities services shall, by strictly abiding by the relevant laws and regulations of the PRC and the requirements therein, establish sound confidentiality and archives management systems, take necessary measures to implement confidentiality and archives management responsibilities, and shall not leak national secrets, work secrets of governmental agencies and undermine national and public interests. Work manuscripts generated in the PRC by securities companies and securities service institutions that provide relevant securities services for overseas issuance and listing of securities by domestic enterprises shall be kept in the PRC. Without the approval of relevant competent authorities, it shall not be transferred overseas. Where archives or copies need to be transferred outside of the PRC, it shall be subject to the approval procedures in accordance with relevant PRC regulations.

Based on the Company's understanding of the current PRC laws, as of the date of this report, we are of the view as a result of: (i) we do not hold personal information on more than one million users in our business operations and (ii) data processed in our business does not have a bearing on national security and thus may not be classified as core or important data by the authorities, we are not required to apply for a cybersecurity review under the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version). Further, the business of our Hong Kong subsidiary, Pony HK is not subject to cybersecurity review with the CAC, given that PRC laws on data protection and cybersecurity do not currently apply to Hong Kong. In addition, the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether we are subject to the CAP.

On December 24, 2021, the CSRC released the Administrative Provisions of the State Council Regarding the Overseas Issuance and Listing of Securities by Domestic Enterprises (Draft for Comments) and the Measures for the Overseas Issuance of Securities and Listing Record-Filings by Domestic Enterprises (Draft for Comments) (both, the "Draft Rules"), both of which had a comment period that expired on January 23, 2022, and if enacted, may subject us to additional compliance requirement in the future.

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the "Trial Measures"), which will take effect on March 31, 2023. The Trial Measures supersede the Draft Rules and clarified and emphasized several aspects, which include but are not limited to: (1) comprehensive determination of the "indirect overseas offering and listing by PRC domestic companies" in compliance with the principle of "substance over form" and particularly, an issuer will be required to go through the filing procedures under the Trial Measures if the following criteria are met at the same time: a) 50% or more of the issuer's operating revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets as documented in its audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent accounting year is accounted for by PRC domestic companies, and b) the main parts of the issuer's business activities are conducted in mainland China, or its main places of business are located in mainland China, or the senior managers in charge of its business operation and management are mostly Chinese citizens or domiciled in mainland China; (2) exemptions from immediate filing requirements for issuers that a) have already been listed or registered but not yet listed in foreign securities markets, including U.S. markets, prior to the effective date of the Trial Measures, and b) are not required to re-perform the regulatory procedures with the relevant overseas regulatory authority or the overseas stock exchange, and c) whose such overseas securities offering or listing shall be completed before September 30, 2023, provided however that such issuers shall carry out filing procedures as required if they conduct refinancing or are involved in other circumstances that require filing with the CSRC; (3) a negative list of types of issuers banned from listing or offering overseas, such as (a) issuers whose listing or offering overseas have been recognized by the State Council of the PRC as possible threats to national security, (b) issuers whose affiliates have been recently convicted of bribery and corruption, (c) issuers under ongoing criminal investigations, and (d) issuers under major disputes regarding equity ownership; (4) issuers' compliance with web security, data security, and other national security laws and regulations; (5) issuers' filing and reporting obligations, such as obligation to file with the CSRC after it submits an application for initial public offering to overseas regulators, and obligation after offering or listing overseas to report to the CSRC material events including change of control or voluntary or forced delisting of the issuer; and (6) the CSRC's authority to fine both issuers and their shareholders between 1 and 10 million RMB for failure to comply with the Trial Measures, including failure to comply with filing obligations or committing fraud and misrepresentation.

As a China-based issuer, we have determined that we and our subsidiaries will not be required to comply with the filing requirements or procedures set forth in Trial Measures given that we are already listed on an overseas exchange before the effective date of the Trial Measures of March 31, 2023.

Nevertheless, if the CSRC or other regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals for this offering and any follow-on offering, we may be unable to obtain such approvals which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to our investors.

Furthermore, the PRC government authorities may strengthen oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers like us. Such actions taken by the PRC government authorities may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which are beyond our control. Therefore, any such action may adversely affect our operations and significantly limit or hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to you and reduce the value of such securities.

Uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and the fact that rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice, along with the risk that the Chinese government may intervene or influence our operations at any time, or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers could result in a material change in our operations, financial performance and/or the value of our common stock or impair our ability to raise money.

***The PRC government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we conduct our business activities. The PRC government may also intervene or influence our operations and this offering at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and our common stock could decline in value or become worthless.***

We are currently not required to obtain approval from Chinese authorities to list on U.S exchanges, however, if our holding company or any of our PRC subsidiary were required to obtain approval in the future and were denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on U.S. exchange, continue to offer securities to investors, or materially affect the interest of the investors and cause significantly depreciation of our price of common stock.

The Chinese government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. The central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations. Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in our operations in China.

For example, the Chinese cybersecurity regulator announced on July 2, 2021, that it had begun an investigation of Didi Global Inc. (NYSE: DIDI) and two days later ordered that the company's app be removed from smartphone app stores. Similarly, our business segments may be subject to various government and regulatory interference in the regions in which we operate. We could be subject to regulation by various political and regulatory entities, including various local and municipal agencies and government sub-divisions. We may incur increased costs necessary to comply with existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply.

Furthermore, it is uncertain when and whether we will be required to obtain permission from the PRC government to list on U.S. exchanges in the future, and even when such permission is obtained, whether it will be denied or rescinded. Although we and our subsidiaries are currently not required to obtain permission or approvals from any of the PRC or Hong Kong government or regulatory agencies, we have not received any denial to list on the U.S. exchange, our operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to our business or industry. Recent statements by the Chinese government indicating an intent, and the PRC government may take actions to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

***The CSRC has enacted the draft rules for China-based companies seeking to conduct initial public offerings in foreign markets. While such rules have not yet gone into effect and we have determined we are not subject to the measures, the CSRC may exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our common stock to investors and could cause the value of our common stock to significantly decline or become worthless.***

On December 24, 2021, the CSRC released the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing (the "Draft Rules"), which had a comment period that expired on January 23, 2022. The Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing lay out the filing regulation arrangement for both direct and indirect overseas listing, and clarify the determination criteria for indirect overseas listing in overseas markets.

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the "Trial Measures"), which will take effect on March 31, 2023. The Trial Measures supersede the Draft Rules and clarified and emphasized several aspects, which include but are not limited to: (1) comprehensive determination of the "indirect overseas offering and listing by PRC domestic companies" in compliance with the principle of "substance over form" and particularly, an issuer will be required to go through the filing procedures under the Trial Measures if the following criteria are met at the same time: a) 50% or more of the issuer's operating revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets as documented in its audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent accounting year is accounted for by PRC domestic companies, and b) the main parts of the issuer's business activities are conducted in mainland China, or its main places of business are located in mainland China, or the senior managers in charge of its business operation and management are mostly Chinese citizens or domiciled in mainland China; (2) exemptions from immediate filing requirements for issuers that a) have already been listed or registered but not yet listed in foreign securities markets, including U.S. markets, prior to the effective date of the Trial Measures, and b) are not required to re-perform the regulatory procedures with the relevant overseas regulatory authority or the overseas stock exchange, and c) whose such overseas securities offering or listing shall be completed before September 30, 2023, provided however that such issuers shall carry out filing procedures as required if they conduct refinancing or are involved in other circumstances that require filing with the CSRC; (3) a negative list of types of issuers banned from listing or offering overseas, such as (a) issuers whose listing or offering overseas have been recognized by the State Council of the PRC as possible threats to national security, (b) issuers whose affiliates have been recently convicted of bribery and corruption, (c) issuers under ongoing criminal investigations, and (d) issuers under major disputes regarding equity ownership; (4) issuers' compliance with web security, data security, and other national security laws and regulations; (5) issuers' filing and reporting obligations, such as obligation to file with the CSRC after it submits an application for initial public offering to overseas regulators, and obligation after offering or listing overseas to report to the CSRC material events including change of control or voluntary or forced delisting of the issuer; and (6) the CSRC's authority to fine both issuers and their shareholders between 1 and 10 million RMB for failure to comply with the Trial Measures, including failure to comply with filing obligations or committing fraud and misrepresentation.

As a China-based issuer, we have determined that we and our subsidiaries will not be required to comply with the filing requirements or procedures set forth in Trial Measures given that we are already listed on an overseas exchange before the effective date of the Trial Measures of March 31, 2023.

Nevertheless, if the CSRC or other regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals for this offering and any follow-on offering, we may be unable to obtain such approvals which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to our investors.

Furthermore, the PRC government authorities may strengthen oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers like us. Such actions taken by the PRC government authorities may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which are beyond our control. Any failure of us to fully comply with new regulatory requirements may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our common stock, cause significant disruption to our business operations, and severely damage our reputation, which would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and cause our common stock to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

***Failure to make adequate contributions to various employee benefit plans and withhold individual income tax on employees' salaries as required by PRC regulations may subject us to penalties.***

Companies operating in China are required to participate in various government-mandated employee benefit contribution plans, including certain social insurance, housing funds and other welfare-oriented payment obligations, and contribute to the plans in amounts equal to certain percentages of salaries, including bonuses and allowances, of our employees up to a maximum amount specified by the local government from time to time at locations where we operate our businesses. The requirement of employee benefit contribution plans has not been implemented consistently by the local governments in China given the different levels of economic development in different locations. Companies operating in China are also required to withhold individual income tax on employees' salaries based on the actual salary of each employee upon payment. We may be subject to late fees and fines in relation to the underpaid employee benefits and under-withheld individual income tax, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

***We must remit the offering proceeds to China before they may be used to benefit our business in China, and we cannot assure that we can finish all necessary governmental registration processes in a timely manner.***

As an offshore holding company of our PRC operating subsidiary, we may make loans to our PRC subsidiary subject to the approval, registration, and filing with governmental authorities and limitation of amount, or we may make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary. Any shareholder loan to our PRC subsidiary, which is treated as a foreign-invested enterprise under PRC law, is subject to foreign exchange loan registration with the local counterpart of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE. Furthermore, loans by us to our PRC subsidiary to finance its activities cannot exceed statutory limits and must be registered with the local counterpart of the SAFE and capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary are subject to the requirement of making necessary filings in the Foreign Investment Comprehensive Management Information System of the MOFCOM, registration with the local counterpart of the State Administration for Market Regulation, or the SAMR, and the SAFE registration through local commercial banks in China. In addition, a foreign invested enterprise shall use its capital pursuant to the principle of authenticity and self-use within its business scope. The capital of a foreign invested enterprise shall not be used for the following purposes: (i)directly or indirectly used for payment beyond the business scope of the enterprises or the payment prohibited by relevant laws and regulations; (ii) directly or indirectly used for investment in securities or investments other than banks' principal secured products unless otherwise provided by relevant laws and regulations; (iii) the granting of loans to non-affiliated enterprises, except where it is expressly permitted in the business license; and (iv) paying the expenses related to the purchase of real estate that is not for self-use (except for the foreign-invested real estate enterprises).

In light of the various requirements imposed by PRC regulations on loans to, and direct investment in, PRC entities by offshore holding companies, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the necessary government registrations or obtain the necessary government approvals on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future loans by us to our PRC subsidiary or with respect to future capital contributions by us to our PRC subsidiary. If we fail to complete such registrations or obtain such approvals, our ability to use the proceeds from this offering and to capitalize or otherwise fund our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity, our ability to fund and expand our business and our common stock.

***If relations between the United States and China worsen, investors may be unwilling to hold or buy our stock and our stock price may decrease***.

At various times during recent years, the U.S and China have had significant disagreements over political and economic issues. Controversies may arise in the future between these two countries that may affect our economic outlook both in the U.S and in China. Any political or trade controversies between the U.S and China, whether or not directly related to our business, could reduce the price of our common stock.

***The fluctuation of the Renminbi may have a material adverse effect on your investment.***

The exchange rates between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies are affected by, among other things, changes in China's political and economic conditions. In July 2005, the PRC government changed its policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar, and the Renminbi was permitted to fluctuate within a band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. As a result, the Renminbi appreciated more than 20% against the U.S. dollar over the following three years. However, the People's Bank of China regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to limit fluctuations in Renminbi exchange rates and achieve policy goals. For almost two years after July 2008, the Renminbi traded within a very narrow range against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high. As a consequence, the Renminbi fluctuated significantly during that period against other freely traded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. In June 2010, the PRC government announced that it would increase exchange rate flexibility of the Renminbi. However, it remains unclear how this flexibility might be implemented. There remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt a more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar.

As we rely on fees paid to us by our subsidiary and affiliated consolidated entities in China, any significant revaluation of the Renminbi could adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, and any dividends payable on, shares of our common stock in foreign currency terms. To the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars we received from our offering into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the Renminbi amount we would receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our common stock or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us. In addition, since our functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar while the functional currency of our subsidiary and consolidated affiliated entities in China is Renminbi, appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Renminbi relative to the U.S. dollar would have a positive or negative effect on our reported financial results, which might not reflect any underlying change in our business, financial condition or results of operations.

***Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenue effectively.***

Substantially all of our revenue is denominated in Renminbi. Renminbi is currently convertible under the "current account," which includes dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not under the "capital account," which includes foreign direct investment and loans, including loans we may secure from our onshore subsidiaries. Currently, Universe Travel may purchase foreign currency for settlement of "current account transactions," including payment of dividends to us, without the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange ("SAFE") by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, the relevant PRC governmental authorities may limit or eliminate our ability to purchase foreign currencies in the future for current account transactions. Since a significant amount of our future revenue will be denominated in Renminbi, any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside of the PRC or pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders, including holders of our common stock. Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account remain subject to limitations and require approvals from, or registration with, SAFE and other relevant PRC governmental authorities. This could affect our ability to obtain foreign currency through debt or equity financing for our subsidiaries.

***Our subsidiaries and affiliated entities in China are subject to restrictions on making dividends and other payments to us.***

We are a holding company, and we rely on dividends and other equity distributions paid by our PRC subsidiary for our cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders and service any debt we may incur. If our PRC subsidiary incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us.

Under PRC laws and regulations, Universe Travel is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise in China. As such, Universe Travel may pay dividends only out of its accumulated after-tax profits as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise is required to set aside at least 10% of its accumulated after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until the aggregate amount of such funds reaches 50% of its registered capital. At its discretion, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to staff welfare and bonus funds. These reserve funds and staff welfare and bonus funds are not distributable as cash dividends.

Any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiary to pay dividends or make other distributions to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends, or otherwise fund and conduct our business.

***The PRC's legal and judicial system may not adequately protect our business and operations and the rights of foreign investors.***

The PRC legal and judicial system may negatively impact foreign investors. In 1982, the National People's Congress amended the Constitution of China to authorize foreign investment and guarantee the "lawful rights and interests" of foreign investors in the PRC. However, the PRC's system of laws is not yet comprehensive. The legal and judicial systems in the PRC are still rudimentary and enforcement of existing laws is inconsistent. As a result, it may be impossible to obtain swift and equitable enforcement of laws that do exist, or to obtain enforcement of the judgment of one court by a court of another jurisdiction. The PRC's legal system is based on the civil law regime, that is, it is based on written statutes. A decision by one judge does not set a legal precedent that is required to be followed by judges in other cases. In addition, the interpretation of Chinese laws may be varied to reflect domestic political changes.

The promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws and the pre-emption of local regulations by national laws may adversely affect foreign investors. There can be no assurance that a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or unforeseen circumstances affecting the PRC's political, economic or social life, will not affect the PRC government's ability to continue to support and pursue these reforms. Such a shift could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.

***Because our principal assets are located outside of the United States, it may be difficult for you to enforce your rights based on U.S. federal securities laws against us or to enforce a U.S. court judgment against us or our operating subsidiaries in the PRC and in Hong Kong***

A substantial portion of our operations and assets are located outside of the United States. It may therefore be difficult for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights against us based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us in the courts of either the U.S. or the PRC and, even if civil judgments are obtained in U.S. courts, it may be difficult to enforce such judgments in PRC courts.

***Our operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by future PRC laws and regulations relating to our business or industry, if we inadvertently conclude that such approvals or permissions, including business licsnes, are not required when they are, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we are required to obtain approvals or permissions in the future.***

 ****

We have determined that we and our subsidiaries are not currently required to obtain any permission or approval from the CSRC, the CAC or any other regulatory authority in the PRC or in Hong Kong for our operations, the trading of our securities on the OTCQB and the offering of our securities to foreign investors. The business of our Hong Kong subsidiary, Pony HK is not subject to cybersecurity review with the CAC, given that PRC laws on data protection and cybersecurity do not currently apply to Hong Kong. Further, for our Shenzhen subsidiary, Universe Travel, and to the extent that if we become subject to such PRC laws in the future, we do not believe we are required to conduct a cybersecurity review because (i) we do not possess a large amount of personal information on more than one million users in our business operations; and (ii) data processed in our business does not have a bearing on national security and thus may not be classified as core or important data by the authorities. However, our operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by future laws and regulations relating to our business or industry, if we inadvertently conclude that such approvals or permissions, including business licenses, are not required when they are, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we are required to obtain approvals or permissions in the future. We may be subject to penalties and sanctions imposed by the PRC and Hong Kong regulatory agencies, including the CSRC, if we fail to comply with such rules and regulations or applicable laws, or if we inadvertently conclude future approvals or permissions from the such regulatory agencies, including business licenses, are not required when they are. As a result, such non-compliance could adversely affect the ability of the Company's securities to continue to trade on the OTCQB, which may cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

***You may face difficulties in protecting your interests and exercising your rights as our stockholder since we conduct the bulk of our operations in China.***

We conduct the bulk of our operations in China through our PRC-subsidiary Universe Travel. Because of this factor, it may be difficult for you to conduct due diligence on the Company, our executive officers or director and attend stockholders meetings if the meetings are held in China. As a result, our public stockholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against our management, our director or major stockholders than would stockholders of a corporation doing business entirely or predominantly within the United States.

***We and our shareholders face uncertainties with respect to indirect transfers of equity interests in PRC resident enterprises or other assets attributed to a Chinese establishment of a non-Chinese company, or immovable properties located in China owned by non-Chinese companies.***

On February 3, 2015, the State Administration of Taxation, or SAT, issued the Bulletin on Issues of Enterprise Income Tax on Indirect Transfers of Assets by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises, or Bulletin 7, which replaced or supplemented previous rules under the Notice on Strengthening Administration of Enterprise Income Tax for Share Transfers by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises, or Circular 698, issued by the State Administration of Taxation, on December 10, 2009. Pursuant to this Bulletin, an "indirect transfer" of assets, including equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise, by non-PRC resident enterprises may be re-characterized and treated as a direct transfer of PRC taxable assets, if such arrangement does not have a reasonable commercial purpose and was established for the purpose of avoiding payment of PRC enterprise income tax. As a result, gains derived from such an indirect transfer may be subject to PRC enterprise income tax. According to Bulletin 7, "PRC taxable assets" include assets attributed to an establishment in China, immoveable properties located in China, and equity investments in PRC resident enterprises, in respect of which gains from their transfer by a direct holder, being a non-PRC resident enterprise, would be subject to PRC enterprise income taxes. When determining whether there is a "reasonable commercial purpose" of the transaction arrangement, features to be taken into consideration include: whether the main value of the equity interest of the relevant offshore enterprise derives from PRC taxable assets; whether the assets of the relevant offshore enterprise mainly consists of direct or indirect investment in China or if its income mainly derives from China; whether the offshore enterprise and its subsidiaries directly or indirectly holding PRC taxable assets have a real commercial nature which is evidenced by their actual function and risk exposure; the duration of existence of the business model and organizational structure; the replicability of the transaction by direct transfer of PRC taxable assets; and the tax situation of such indirect transfer and applicable tax treaties or similar arrangements. In respect of an indirect offshore transfer of assets of a PRC establishment, the resulting gain is to be included with the enterprise income tax filing of the PRC establishment or place of business being transferred, and would consequently be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Where the underlying transfer relates to the immoveable properties located in China or to equity investments in a PRC resident enterprise, which is not related to a PRC establishment or place of business of a non-resident enterprise, a PRC enterprise income tax of 10% would apply, subject to available preferential tax treatment under applicable tax treaties or similar arrangements, and the party who is obligated to make the transfer payments has the withholding obligation. Where the payer fails to withhold any or withholds insufficient tax, the transferor shall declare and pay such tax to the tax authority by itself within the statutory time limit. Late payment of applicable tax will subject the transferor to default interest. Bulletin 7 does not apply to transactions of sale of shares by investors through a public stock exchange where such shares were acquired from a transaction through a public stock exchange.

In October 2017, SAT issued an Announcement on Issues Relating to Withholding at Source of Income Tax of Nonresident Enterprises, or SAT Circular 37. Effective from December 2017, SAT Circular 37, among others, repealed the Circular 698 and amended certain provisions in Bulletin 7. According to SAT Circular 37, where the non-resident enterprise fails to declare the tax payable pursuant to Article 39 of the Enterprise Income Tax, the tax authority may order it to pay the tax due within required time limits, and the non-resident enterprise shall declare and pay the tax payable within such time limits specified by the tax authority. However, if the non-resident enterprise voluntarily declares and pays the tax payable before the tax authority orders it to do so within required time limits, it shall be deemed that such enterprise has paid the tax in time.

We face uncertainties as to the reporting and other implications of certain past and future transactions where PRC taxable assets are involved, such as offshore restructuring, sale of the shares in our offshore subsidiaries and investments. Our company may be subject to filing obligations or taxed if our company is transferor in such transactions, and may be subject to withholding obligations if our company is transferee in such transactions, under Bulletin 7 and SAT Circular 37. For transfer of shares in our company by investors who are non-PRC resident enterprises, our PRC subsidiary may be requested to assist in the filing under the SAT circulars. As a result, we may be required to expend valuable resources to comply with the SAT circulars or to request the relevant transferors from whom we purchase taxable assets to comply with these circulars, or to establish that our company should not be taxed under these circulars, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

***The future development of national security laws and regulations in Hong Kong could materially impact our business by possibly triggering sanctions and other measures which can cause economic harm to our business.***

On June 30, 2020, the National People's Congress of China passed a national security law (the "National Security Law"), which criminalizes certain offenses, including secession, subversion of the Chinese government, terrorism and collusion with foreign entities. The National Security Law also applies to non-permanent residents. Although the extra-territorial reach of the National Security Law remains unclear, there is a risk that its application to conduct outside Hong Kong by non-permanent residents of Hong Kong could limit the activities of or negatively impact us. The United States and other countries may take action against China, its leaders and leaders of Hong Kong, which may include the imposition of sanctions. Escalation of tensions resulting from the National Security Law, including conflict between China and other countries, protests and other government measures, as well as other economic, social or political unrest in the future, could negatively impact the security and stability of the region and have a material adverse effect on our business. The aforementioned risks, including an expansionary application of the National Security Law in unpredictable circumstances by the Chinese authorities, and any downturn in Hong Kong's economy could negatively impact the industries in which we participate, negatively impact our business operations and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

***Potential political and economic instability in Hong Kong may adversely impact our results of operations. We may also face the risk that changes in the policies of the PRC government could have a significant impact upon the business we conduct in Hong Kong and the profitability of such business.***

Our operational activities are conducted in Hong Kong and through our wholly owned subsidiary Universe Travel in Shenzhen in Guangdong Province. Accordingly, political and economic conditions in Hong Kong and the surrounding region, including Guangdong Province, may directly affect our business. Since early 2019, a number of political protests and conflicts have occurred in Hong Kong in connection with proposed legislation that would allow local authorities to detain and extradite people who are wanted in territories that Hong Kong does not have extradition agreements with, including mainland China and Taiwan. The economy of Hong Kong has been negatively impacted, including our retail market, property market, stock market, and tourism, from such protests.

Under the Basic Law, Hong Kong is exclusively in charge of its internal affairs and external relations, while the government of the PRC is responsible for its foreign affairs and defense. As a separate customs territory, Hong Kong maintains and develops relations with foreign states and regions. We cannot assure you that the Hong Kong protests will not affect Hong Kong's status as a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China and thereby affecting its current relations with foreign states and regions.

It is unclear whether there will be other political or social unrest in the near future or that there will not be other events that could lead to the disruption of the economic, political and social conditions in Hong Kong. If such events persist for a prolonged period of time or that the economic, political and social conditions in Hong Kong are to be disrupted, our overall business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

In addition, economic, political and legal developments and social conditions in the PRC may significantly affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The PRC economy is in transition from a planned economy to a market-oriented economy subject to plans adopted by the government that set national economic development goals. Policies of the PRC government can have significant effects on economic conditions in the PRC and Hong Kong. While we believe that the PRC will continue to strengthen its economic and trading relationships with foreign countries and that business development in the PRC will continue to follow market forces, we cannot assure you that this will be the case. Our business operations and prospects, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in policies by the PRC government, including:

● changes in laws, regulations or their interpretation;

● confiscatory taxation;

● restrictions on currency conversion, imports or sources of supplies, or ability to continue as a for-profit enterprise;

● expropriation or nationalization of private enterprises; and

● the allocation of resources.

***Our Hong Kong and Shenzhen subsidiaries may be subject to restrictions on paying dividends or making other payments to us, which may restrict its ability to satisfy liquidity requirements, conduct business and pay dividends to holders of our common stock. Dividends payable to our foreign investors and gains on the sale of our shares of common stock by our foreign investors may become subject to tax by the PRC.***

Pony Group Inc is a holding company incorporated in Delaware with its operating subsidiaries located in Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Most of our cash is maintained in Chinese Yuan. We conduct no other business and, as a result, we depend entirely upon our Hong Kong and Shenzhen operating subsidiaries' earnings and cash flow. If we decide in the future to pay dividends, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiary. There are currently no restrictions of transferring funds between our Delaware holding company and our operating subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Shenzhen or limitations on the ability of our Hong Kong and Shenzhen subsidiary to issue dividends or other distributions to its overseas shareholders. However, we cannot assure you that the oversight of the PRC government will not be extended to companies operating in Hong Kong and Shenzhen like our Hong Kong and Shenzhen subsidiaries. There is a possibility that the PRC government could prevent our cash maintained in Hong Kong or Shenzhen from leaving or the PRC could restrict the deployment of the cash into our business or for the payment of dividends. However, we do not expect that a restriction into the deployment of cash into our business to affect the use of our assets in our ordinary course of business. Nevertheless, any such controls or restrictions in the future could adversely affect our ability to finance our cash requirements, service debt or make dividend or other distributions to our stockholders and could result in a material adverse change to our business operations, our prospects, financial condition, and results of operations, and could cause our common stock to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

***Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, and the related regulations are evolving quickly. Further implementations and interpretations of our amendments to the HFCAA or the related regulations, or a PCAOB's determination of its lack of sufficient access to inspect our auditor, might pose regulatory risks to and impose restrictions on us because of our operations in mainland China that PCAOB may not be able to inspect or investigate completely such audit documentation and, as such, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection and our ordinary share could be delisted from the stock exchange pursuant to the HFCAA***

The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCA Act, was enacted on December 18, 2020. The HFCA Act states if the SEC determines that a company has filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit such common stock from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over the counter trading market in the U.S.

On March 24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the HFCA Act. A company will be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies it as having a "non-inspection" year under a process to be subsequently established by the SEC. The SEC is assessing how to implement other requirements of the HFCA Act, including the listing and trading prohibition requirements described above.

On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or AHFCAA, which proposes to reduce the period of time for foreign companies to comply with PCAOB audits from three to two consecutive years, thus reducing the time period before the securities of such foreign companies may be prohibited from trading or delisted. On December 29, 2022, the AHFCAA was signed into law.

On September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted a final rule implementing the HFCA Act, which provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCA Act, whether the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction. On December 2, 2021, the SEC issued amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCA Act. The rules apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in foreign jurisdictions. The final amendments are effective on January 10, 2022. The SEC will begin to identify and list Commission-Identified Issuers on its website shortly after registrants begin filing their annual reports for 2021.

On December 16, 2021, PCAOB announced the PCAOB Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act determinations (the "2021 PCAOB Determinations") relating to the PCAOB's inability to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China of the PRC or Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region and dependency of the PRC, because of a position taken by one or more authorities in the PRC or Hong Kong. Our auditor, Ben Borges CPA PC, is not headquartered in China or Hong Kong and was not identified in this report as a firm subject to the PCAOB's determination.

The lack of access to the PCAOB inspection in China prevents the PCAOB from fully evaluating audits and quality control procedures of the auditors based in China. As a result, the investors may be deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of auditors in China makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of these accounting firms' audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of China that are subject to the PCAOB inspections, which could cause existing and potential investors in our stock to lose confidence in our audit procedures and reported financial information and the quality of our financial statements.

Our auditor, the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included elsewhere in this prospectus, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Our auditor's registration with the PCAOB took effect in September 2020 and it is currently subject to PCAOB inspections. The PCAOB currently has access to inspect the working papers of our auditor. However, the recent developments would add uncertainties to our offering and we cannot assure you whether regulatory authorities would apply additional and more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor's audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or experience as it relates to the audit of our financial statements.

On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB announced and signed a Statement of Protocol (the "Protocol") with the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China. The Protocol provides the PCAOB with: (1) sole discretion to select the firms, audit engagements and potential violations it inspects and investigates, without any involvement of Chinese authorities; (2) procedures for PCAOB inspectors and investigators to view complete audit work papers with all information included and for the PCAOB to retain information as needed; (3) direct access to interview and take testimony from all personnel associated with the audits the PCAOB inspects or investigates.

The PCAOB reassessed the 2021 PCAOB Determinations that the positions taken by PRC authorities prevented the PCAOB from inspecting and investigating in mainland China and Hong Kong completely. The PCAOB sent its inspectors to conduct on-site inspections and investigations of firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong from September to November 2022.

On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced its determination (the "2022 Determination") that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong, and the PCAOB Board voted to vacate previous determinations to the contrary. Should the PCAOB again encounter impediments to inspections and investigations in mainland China or Hong Kong as a result of positions taken by any authority in either jurisdiction, including by the CSRC or the Ministry of Finance, the PCAOB will make determinations under the HFCAA as and when appropriate. We cannot assure you whether OTC or regulatory authorities would apply additional and more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor's audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach, or experience as it relates to the audit of our financial statements. There is a risk that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely the Company's auditor because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction or any other reasons, and that the PCAOB may re-evaluate its determinations as a result of any obstruction with the implementation of the Protocol. Such lack of inspection or re-evaluation could cause trading in the Company's securities to be prohibited under the HFCAA ultimately result in a determination by a securities exchange to delist the Company's securities. In addition, under the HFCAA as amended by the AHFCAA, our securities may be prohibited from trading on the OTC or other U.S. stock exchanges if our auditor is not inspected by the PCAOB for two consecutive years, and this ultimately could result in our ordinary shares being delisted by and exchange.

Such recent developments would add uncertainties to our offering and we cannot assure you whether the SEC, the PCAOB, OTC, or other regulatory authorities would apply additional and more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor's audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or experience as it relates to the audit of our financial statements. It remains unclear what further actions the SEC, the PCAOB or OTC will take to address these issues and what impact those actions will have on U.S. companies that have significant operations in the PRC and have securities listed on a U.S. stock exchange (including a national securities exchange or over-the-counter stock market). In addition, any additional actions, proceedings, or new rules resulting from these efforts to increase U.S. regulatory access to audit information could create some uncertainty for investors, the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected, and we could be delisted if we and our auditor are unable to meet the PCAOB inspection requirement or being required to engage a new audit firm, which would require significant expense and management time. If trading in our common stock is prohibited under the HFCAA in the future because the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor at such future time, OTC may determine to delist our common stock. If shares of our common stock are unable to be listed on another securities exchange by then, such a delisting would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our ordinary shares when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with a potential delisting would have a negative impact on the price of our common stock.

**Risks Related to Our Common Stock**

***Our majority stockholders will control our company for the foreseeable future, including the outcome of matters requiring shareholder approval.***

Ms. Fan, our Chief Executive Officer, President and director have over 78.3% beneficial ownership of our Company, through Pony Group Ltd, KERUIDA Investment Limited, Synionm Investments Limited and Wisdom Travel Service Investments Limited, which is beneficially owned by Ms. Fan. As a result, Ms. Fan will have the ability to control the election of our directors and the outcome of corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, such as: (i) a merger or a sale of our Company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and (iii) amendments to our articles of incorporation and bylaws. This concentration of voting power and control could have a significant effect in delaying, deferring or preventing an action that might otherwise be beneficial to our other shareholders and be disadvantageous to our shareholders with interests different from those individuals. Certain of these individuals also have significant control over our business, policies and affairs as officers or directors of our company. Therefore, you should not invest in reliance on your ability to have any control over our company.

***No public market for our common stock currently exists, and an active trading market may not develop or be sustained following this offering.***

As we are in our early stages of development, an investment in our Company will likely require a long-term commitment, with no certainty of return. We have applied for quotation of our common stock on the OTC Market. Even if our common stock is quoted on the OTC Market, there is no guarantee that there will be any trading in our common stock. In addition, there is a risk that we will not be able to have our stock listed or quoted on a more established market, and even if we are able to do so (of which no assurance can be given), we cannot predict whether an active market for our common stock will ever develop in the future. In the absence of an active trading market:

● investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations;

● market visibility for shares of our common stock may be limited; and

● a lack of visibility for shares of our common stock may have a depressive effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.

 ****

***While we believe our revenues and cash on hand are adequate to meet our immediate needs, we may require additional funding in order to progress our business in the future. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate portions of our business.***

While we believe our cash, cash equivalents on hand and cash from operations are adequate to meet our liquidity needs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months, we may require an additional infusion of funds in the future to grow our business. In the event we were to experience an economic recession or a slow growth period, such an event could adversely affect our business, liquidity and future growth. In addition, should we experience instability in or a tightening of the capital markets, such an event could adversely affect our ability to obtain additional capital to grow our business on terms acceptable to us or at all.

***There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.***

Our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 were prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. In addition, as discussed in Note 2 of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included an explanatory paragraph on the doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern in order to draw prospective investors' attention to the relevant note in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) obtaining capital from the sale of its equity securities, (2) sales of the Company's services, (3) short-term and long-term borrowings from banks, and (4) short-term borrowings from stockholders or other related party(ies) when needed. However, management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually to secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. If we are unable to raise additional capital in debt or equity financing on terms favorable to us, then we may be unable to achieve our objectives.

***Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to our technologies or product candidates.***

We may need to raise funding in the future to further develop our business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient capital on acceptable terms, or at all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, or is not available at all, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate the development of business opportunities and our operations and financial condition may be adversely affected to a significant extent.

If we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, the percentage and/or economic ownership of our existing stockholders may be reduced, and accordingly these stockholders may experience substantial dilution. We may also issue equity securities that provide for rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our common stock.

Debt financing, if obtained, may involve agreements that include liens on our assets, covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, increases in our expenses and requirements that our assets be provided as a security for such debt. Debt financing would also be required to be repaid regardless of our operating results.

Funding from any source may be unavailable to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we do not have sufficient capital to fund our operations and expenses, our business opportunities could be substantially diminished.

Assuming we can find market makers to establish quotations for our common stock, and assuming all applicable approvals are obtained, we expect that our common stock will be quoted on the OTC Market. This market is a relatively unorganized, inter-dealer, over-the-counter markets that provide significantly less liquidity than any tier of the NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange. No assurances can be given that our common stock, even if quoted on such markets, will ever trade on such markets, much less a senior market like NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange. In this event, there would be a highly illiquid market for our common stock and you may be unable to dispose of your common stock at desirable prices or at all. Moreover, there is a risk that our common stock could be delisted from the OTC Market, in which case it might be listed on OTC Pink, which is even more illiquid than the OTC Market.

The lack of an active market impairs your ability to sell your shares of our common stock at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of your shares of our common stock. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares of our common stock and may impair our ability to expand our operations through acquisitions by using our shares as consideration.

***Even if our common stock becomes publicly-traded and an active trading market develops, the market price for our common stock may be volatile.***

Even if our securities become publicly-traded and even if an active market for our common stock develops, of which no assurance can be given, the market price for our common stock may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations due to factors such as:

● the perception of U.S. investors and regulators of U.S. listed Chinese companies;

● actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly operating results;

● changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;

● negative publicity, studies or reports;

● our capability to match and compete with technology innovations in the industry;

● changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other companies in the same industry;

● announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

● addition or departure of key personnel;

● fluctuations of exchange rates between RMB and the U.S. Dollar; and

● general economic or political conditions in or influencing China.

In addition, the securities market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

***Our common stock may be thinly traded and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.***

Assuming our common stock trades over-the-counter, our common stock will be "thinly-traded," meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation may be attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and might be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. Broad or active public trading market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained.

 ****

***Our common stock may be considered a "penny stock," and thereby be subject to additional sale and trading regulations that may make it more difficult to sell.***

Our common stock, which we plan to have quoted for trading on the OTC Market, may be considered to be a "penny stock" if it does not qualify for one of the exemptions from the definition of "penny stock" under Section 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act, as amended. Our common stock may be a "penny stock" if it meets one or more of the following conditions: (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (iii) it is not quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market or, even if so, has a price of less than $5.00 per share; or (iv) is issued by a company that has been in business less than three years with net tangible assets less than $5 million. The principal result or effect of being designated a "penny stock" is that securities broker-dealers participating in sales of our common stock will be subject to the "penny stock" regulations set forth in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For example, Rule 15g-2 requires broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document at least two business days before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to: (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult and time consuming for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.

***FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit your ability to buy and sell shares of our common stock, which could depress the price of shares of our common stock.***

FINRA rules require broker-dealers to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending that investment to the customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status and investment objectives, among other things. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability such speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell shares of our common stock, have an adverse effect on the market for shares of our common stock, and thereby depress price of our common stock.

***You may face significant restrictions on the resale of your shares of our common stock due to state "blue sky" laws.***

Each state has its own securities laws, often called "blue sky" laws, which (1) limit sales of securities to a state's residents unless the securities are registered in that state or qualify for an exemption from registration, and (2) govern the reporting requirements for broker-dealers doing business directly or indirectly in the state. Before a security is sold in a state, there must be a registration in place to cover the transaction, or it must be exempt from registration. The applicable broker-dealer must also be registered in that state.

We do not know whether our securities will be registered or exempt from registration under the laws of any state. A determination regarding registration will be made by those broker-dealers, if any, who agree to serve as market makers for our common stock. We have not yet applied to have our securities registered in any state and will not do so until we receive expressions of interest from investors resident in specific states after they have viewed this offering document. There may be significant state blue sky law restrictions on the ability of investors to sell, and on purchasers to buy, our securities. You should therefore consider the resale market for our common stock to be limited, as you may be unable to resell your shares without the significant expense of state registration or qualification.

***Potential future sales under Rule 144 may depress the market price for the common stock.***

In general, under SEC Rule 144, a person who has satisfied a minimum holding period of between six months to one-year, as well as meeting any other applicable requirements of Rule 144, may thereafter sell such shares publicly. Therefore, the possible sale of unregistered shares may, in the future, have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock in the over-the-counter market.

***Volatility in our common stock price may subject us to securities litigation.***

The market for our common stock may have, when compared to seasoned issuers, significant price volatility and we expect that our share price may continue to be more volatile than that of a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management's attention and resources.

***We are not likely to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.***

We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. Accordingly, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but will review this policy as circumstances dictate. Should we determine to pay dividends in the future, our ability to do so will depend upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from Universe Travel. Universe Travel may, from time to time, be subject to restrictions on its ability to make distributions to us, including restrictions on the conversion of RMB into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions.

***U.S. investors may experience difficulties in attempting to effect a service of process and enforce judgments based upon U.S. Federal Securities Laws against the company and its non U.S. resident officer and director.***

We are a Delaware corporation and, as such, are subject to the jurisdiction of the State of Delaware and the United States courts for purposes of any lawsuit, action or proceeding by investors herein. An investor would have the ability to effect service of process in any action on the company within the United States. However, Ms. Wenxian Fan, our sole officer and director, resides in China and substantially all of our assets are located in China. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to:

● Effect service of process within the United States against our non-U.S. resident officers or directors;

● Enforce U.S. court judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against any of the above referenced foreign persons in the United States;

● Enforce in foreign courts U.S. court judgments based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against the above foreign persons; and

● Bring an original action in foreign courts to enforce liabilities based upon the U.S. federal securities laws against the above foreign persons.

Shareholder claims that are common in the United States, including securities law class actions and fraud claims, generally are difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in China. For example, in China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to obtaining information needed for shareholder investigations or litigation outside China or otherwise with respect to foreign entities. Although the local authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authorities of another country or region to implement cross-border supervision and administration, such regulatory cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the Unities States have not been efficient in the absence of mutual and practical cooperation mechanism. According to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law, which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within the territory of the PRC. Accordingly, without the consent of the competent PRC securities regulators and relevant authorities, no organization or individual may provide the documents and materials relating to securities business activities to overseas parties. Further, there is uncertainty as to whether PRC courts would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our director and officer predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States, or (ii) entertain original actions brought in each respective jurisdiction against us or our director and officer predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

***The Company is selling shares without an underwriter and may not be able to sell all or any of the shares offered herein.***

Shares of common stock are hereby being offered on our behalf by our officers and directors, on a best-efforts basis. No broker-dealer has been retained as an underwriter and no broker-dealer is under any obligation to purchase any shares of common stock. There are no firm commitments to purchase any of the shares in the direct public offering. Consequently, there is no guarantee that the Company, through its officers and directors, are capable of selling all, or any, of the shares of common stock offered hereby. The sale of a small number of shares increases the likelihood that no market will ever develop for our common stock. We will likely need to raise additional capital in the near future to finance our intended growth.

**Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments**

None.

**Item 2. Properties**

We lease an office at Engineer Experiment Building, A202, 7 Gaoxin South Avenue, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China, encompassing approximately 205 square meters of space for a monthly rent of RMB 10,000 (approximately $1,570). The lease for this facility expires on February 28, 2024. We believe the rented space is sufficient for our current operations. We believe our facilities are sufficient for our current needs.

We consider our current facilities adequate for our current operations.

We are not currently a party to any material legal or administrative proceedings. We may from time to time be subject to legal or administrative claims and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Litigation or any other legal or administrative proceeding, regardless of the outcome, is likely to result in substantial cost and diversion of our resources, including our management's time and attention.

**Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities**

**Market Information**

On December 31, 2022, our common stock was not traded on any stock exchange.

**Holders**

Based upon information furnished by our transfer agent, as of December 31, 2022, the Company had 62 stockholders of record.

**Dividend**

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our shares. We do not have any present plan to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to operate and grow our business.

Our board of directors will have the discretion to declare and pay dividends in the future, subject to applicable PRC regulations and restrictions. The Wholly-Foreign Owned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended, and the Wholly-Foreign Owned Enterprise Law Implementing Rules (1990), as amended, and the Company Law of the PRC (2006), as amended, contain the principal regulations governing dividend distributions by wholly foreign owned enterprises. Under these regulations, wholly foreign owned enterprises may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Additionally, such companies are required to set aside a certain amount of their accumulated profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds until such time as the accumulated reserve funds reach and remain above 50% of the registered capital amount. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of liquidation and cannot be used for working capital purposes. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries and affiliates in China incur debt on their own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other payments. If we or our subsidiary and affiliates are unable to receive all of the revenues from our operations through the current contractual arrangements, we may be unable to pay dividends on our common stock.

**Overview**

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 7, 2019. We are a travel service provider. We currently provide car services to individual and group travelers. We currently offer carpooling, airport pick-up and drop-off, and personal driver services for travelers between Guangdong Province and Hong Kong. We collaborate with car fleet companies and charge a service fee by matching the traveler and the driver. We officially launched our online service through our "Let's Go" mobile application in December 2019 to provide multi-language services to international travelers coming to visit China. Redefining user experience, we aim to provide our users with comprehensive and convenient service offerings and become a one-stop travel booking resource for travelers. While network scale is important, we recognize that transportation happens locally. We currently operate in two markets - Guangdong Province and Hong Kong and plan to expand our offering in more oversea markets.

**Transfers of Cash to and from Our Subsidiaries**

Pony Group Inc is a holding company incorporated in Delaware with no material operations of its own, and we conduct our business through our indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries, Pony HK, in Hong Kong and Universe Travel, in Shenzhen. We currently do not rely on dividends and other distributions on equity to be paid by our Hong Kong or Shenzhen subsidiaries to fund our cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our stockholders, to service any debt we may incur and to pay our operating expenses. Currently, substantially all of our operations are in Hong Kong from Pony HK and in Shenzhen from Universe Travel. Pony HK is the parent of a wholly-owned subsidiary, Universe Travel Culture & Technology Ltd., that is incorporated in the PRC. We do not intend to set up any subsidiary or enter into any contractual arrangements to establish a VIE structure with any entity in China. Hong Kong is a special administrative region of the PRC and the basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong are reflected in the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China (the "Basic Law"), providing Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy and executive, legislative and independent judicial powers, including that of final adjudication under the principle of "one country, two systems". The laws and regulations of the PRC do not currently have any material impact on any future transfer of cash either from us to Pony HK or from Pony HK to us and the investors in the U.S. In addition, there are no restrictions or limitations under the laws of Hong Kong imposed on the conversion of Hong Kong dollar or the Chinese Yuan into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of Hong Kong or across borders and to U.S investors.

We are permitted under the Delaware law to provide funding to our subsidiaries, including Pony HK and Universe Travel, through loans or capital contributions without restrictions on the amount of the funds. There are no significant restrictions or limitations on our ability to distribute earnings from our businesses, including our subsidiaries, to the U.S. investors. Specifically, under PRC laws and regulations, Universe Travel is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise in China. As such, Universe Travel may pay dividends only out of its accumulated after-tax profits as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise is required to set aside at least 10% of its accumulated after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until the aggregate amount of such funds reaches 50% of its registered capital. At its discretion, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to staff welfare and bonus funds. These reserve funds and staff welfare and bonus funds are not distributable as cash dividends.

In addition, Pony HK is permitted under the laws of Hong Kong to provide funding to Pony Group Inc, the holding company incorporated in Hong Kong, and to Pony HK's subsidiary, Universe Travel, a company incorporated in the PRC, through dividend or other distribution without restrictions on the amount of the funds. Further, Pony HK and Universe Travel currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, for the operation and expansion of its business and does not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future As of the date of this Report, there has been no dividends, distributions or cash transfer between our holding company and our subsidiaries nor do we expect such dividends, distributions or cash transfers to occur in the foreseeable future among our holding company and its subsidiaries. Accordingly, we currently do not have, nor we anticipate to have in the future, cash management policies that dictate how funds are transferred between our holding company and its subsidiaries.

Moreover, there are no restrictions on foreign exchange or our ability to transfer cash between entities within our group, across borders, or to U.S. investors. However, the PRC government has significant authority to intervene or influence the China operations of an offshore holding company at any time, and such oversight may also extend to our Hong Kong operating company. We cannot assure you that the PRC government will not prevent us from transferring the cash we maintain in Hong Kong outside of Hong Kong, or restrict our ability to deploy our cash into business or to pay dividends. We could also be subject to limitations on the transfer or the use of our cash if we expand our business operations into China or conduct our operations in some other ways such that we become subject to PRC laws that regulate these activities. In addition, if Pony HK or Universe Travel incur debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us. To the extent cash and/or assets in the business is in Pony HK or Universe Travel, the cash and/or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC or Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on our ability or on our subsidiaries by the PRC government to transfer such cash and/or assets. As such, any limitation on our ability to transfer or use our cash could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends, or otherwise fund and conduct our business.

We have never paid or declared any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The declaration of dividends on any class of shares is within the discretion of our board of directors, subject to Delaware law, out of legally available funds, and will depend on the assessment of, among other factors, earnings, capital requirements and our operating and financial condition. None of our subsidiaries has made any dividends or distributions to us. Under the current practice of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by us. See "*Item 1A. Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Business and Industry - We are not likely to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.*."

**Plan of Operations**

In January 2019, we started our Research and Development ("R&D") project mobile Lets Go App ("App") designed to have multi-language interface to attract users from the world, focusing on providing one-stop travel services to foreigners traveling in China, for both leisure and business.

In April 2019, we rolled out basic version which supports carpooling, car rental, Airport Pick-up and/or Drop-off, etc., ready for download at Apple App store; the basic version has an interface in Chinese language only. In May 2019, we rolled out second version which has an enhanced interface in both Chinese and English language, supporting payment through PayPal. By the end of 2019, we rolled out third version which has multi-language interface to attract users from all-over the world. In January 2020, we official launched App.

We intend to attract users from outside of China to use our App and expand our offerings on the App to serve as a one-stop shop to book tickets, reserve hotels, rent a car and hire an English speaking driver.

Our goal is to grow to an international player in the travel service market. To accomplish such goal, we will cooperate with other businesses which have capital, marketing and technology resources or products. We expect to recruit more workforce and talents, and develop new technologies and products.

**Results of Operations**

**For the Year ended December 31, 2022 Compared to December 31, 2021**

*Revenue*

For the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, revenues were $112,844 and $157,627, respectively, with a decrease of $44,783 over the same period in 2021. From January to March 2022, the Company provided a new car subscription service to Gangjianxiang which brought in approximately RMB 60,000 (about $9,464) of revenue per month. Separately, orders from Gangjianxiang brought in approximately RMB20,000 (about $2,551) from April 2022 due to a decrease in demand for services from Gangjianxiang.

*Cost of Revenue*

Cost of Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $45,001 and $102,314, respectively, with a decrease of $57,313 over the same period in 2021. The decrease of cost of revenue was mainly due to Universe Travel developing an active travel planning service in the first quarter of 2021. As such, the cost of developing the service increased the cost of revenue for such quarter. There was no such item in 2022, thus the cost of revenue decreased for year ended December 31, 2022.

*Gross Profit*

Gross profits were $67,843 and $55,313 for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $12,530 over the same period in 2021. The increase of gross profit was due to Universe Travel providing technology development services to Shenzhen Shangjia Electronic Technology., Ltd ("Shangjia") in 2022, which brought in $57,704 of revenue for the Company. This service provided has a higher gross profit margin and led to the increase of the total gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2022.

*Operating Expenses*

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $342,468 and $171,276, respectively, with an increase of $171,192 or 99.95% from the same period in 2021. The increase was mainly due to service fee paid for OTC listing and other consulting services fees . R&D expenses increased to $23,816 for the Company to develop and maintain the App.

*Other Income (Expense)*

Other income consists of interest income and exchange gain (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 the net other income were $5,547 when it was $17,957for the same period in 2021.The change of other Income(expense) mainly due to the change of exchange rate. The increase was mainly due to the change of exchange rate and the increase of average cash balance.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

We suffered recurring losses from operations and have an accumulated deficit of $549,404 at December 31, 2022. We had a cash balance of $49,803 and working capital deficit of $355,544 as of December 31, 2022. The Company has incurred losses of $269,078 and $98,006 for the year ended December 31 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company has not continually generated significant gross margins. Unless our operations generate a significant increase in gross margins and cash flows from operating activities, our continued operations will depend on whether we are able to raise additional funds through various sources, such as equity and debt financing, other collaborative agreements and/or strategic alliances. Our management is actively engaged in seeking additional capital to fund our operations in the short to medium term. Such additional funds may not become available on acceptable terms and there can be no assurance that any additional funding that we do obtain will be sufficient to meet our needs in the long term. As of December 31, 2022, we had enough cash to last approximately six months.

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 amounted to $325,529, compared to $2,778 net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2021.

There were $0 cash used by investment activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 amounted to $92,603, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $14,333 in the same period 2021. The net cash provided by financing activities were from shareholders who paid cost and other expenses on behalf of the Company.

Further, our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 were prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. In addition, as discussed in Note 2 of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included an explanatory paragraph on the doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern in order to draw prospective investors' attention to the relevant note in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) obtaining capital from the sale of its equity securities, (2) sales of the Company's services, (3) short-term and long-term borrowings from banks, and (4) short-term borrowings from stockholders or other related party(ies) when needed. However, management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually to secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. If we are unable to raise additional capital in debt or equity financing on terms favorable to us, then we may be unable to achieve our objectives.

**COVID-19** 

In January 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global health emergency as the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") outbreak continues to spread beyond China. In an effort to contain COVID-19, the Chinese authorities had suspended air, road, and rail travel in the area around Wuhan and placed restrictions on travel and other activities throughout China, including Guangdong Province and Hong Kong, the key market in which we operate. In compliance with the government health emergency rules in place, the Company temporarily closed all offices in China and ceased operations from January 19, 2020 to February 10, 2020. At the end of this period, management reopened our business.

As of the date of this Report, the Hong Kong government has reported cases of COVID-19 in the city, has upgraded its response level to emergency, its highest response level, and is taking other steps to manage the outbreak. Prior to December 13, 2022, the Hong Kong government only allows vaccinated persons arriving from overseas to enter, and all vaccinated persons are subject to a three-day self-monitoring period for COVID-19 while in the city. During the self-monitoring period, vaccinated persons are not permitted to enter designated places of public gathering including restaurants, places of amusement and religious premises. As of the date of this Report, the Hong Kong government no longer requires travelers to undergo the three-day-self monitoring period, however, travelers to Hong Kong must be fully vaccinated and undergo COVID-19 testing before departure. On January 30, 2020, the Hong Kong government closed certain transportation links and border checkpoints connecting Hong Kong with mainland China (all located in Guangdong Province) until further notice, and on February 3, 2020 suspended ferry services from Macau (which has border checkpoints connecting Macau with Guangdong Province). On February 6, 2023, the Hong Kong government has reopened all transportation links and border checkpoints with mainland China.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the travel restrictions described above, have resulted in a dramatic reduction in the number of people travelling from Guangdong Province to Hong Kong and a similar reduction in the number of our customers and have severely impacted our operating results. The number of travellers between Guangdong province and Hong Kong deceases significantly. Thus, the orders for our travel service business decreased. In the same period, to generate new revenues we started provided monthly subscription service to obtain new customers. From January to March 2022, the Company provided car subscription service to Gangjianxiang which brought in approximately RMB60,000 (about $9,464) of revenue per month. From April 2022 until December 31, 2022, separate orders from Gangjianxiang brought in approximately RMB20,000 (about $2,551). Our subsidiary Universe Travel started to provided technology and development services to help our clients to develop their own mobile application and platform, we believe that such services will generate additional revenue in the future.

Many of the restrictive measures previously adopted by the PRC governments at various levels to control the spread of the COVID-19 virus have been revoked or replaced with more flexible measures since December 2022. While the revocation or replacement of the restrictive measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic could have a positive impact on our normal operations, it may also shift the public's interest in COVID-19 vaccines. Moreover, there has recently been and may continue to be an increase inCOVID-19 cases in China, and as a result, we experienced temporary disruption to our operations where many employees were infected with COVID-19 in December 2022. Our business operations and active ties in many regions (including Hong Kong and Guangdong Province) may be subject to quarantines, "shelter-in-place" rules, and various other restrictions for the foreseeable future. Due to the uncertainty of the future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the extent of the financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Without limited the generality of the foregoing sentence, any significant disruption to travel, including travel restrictions and other potential protective quarantine measures against COVID-19 by governmental agencies, may increase the difficulty and could make it difficult for the Company to provide its services to its customers. Travel restrictions and protective measures against COVID-19 could cause the Company to incur additional unexpected costs and expenses. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company's business, sales and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

*Going Concern*

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) obtaining capital from the sale of its equity securities, (2) sales of the Company's services, (3) short-term and long-term borrowings from banks, and (4) short-term borrowings from stockholders or other related party(ies) when needed. However, management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually to secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.

**Critical Accounting Policies**

The discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, the useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets, and the valuation of equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

*Accounts Receivable* - The customers are required to make payments when they book the services, otherwise, the services will not be arranged. Sometimes, the Company extends credit to its group clients. The company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible at year-end. Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded.

*Revenue Recognition* - The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606. The core principle of ASC606 is to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle, which includes: (1) identifying contracts with customers, (2) identifying performance obligations within those contracts, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract, which may include an estimate of variable consideration, and (5) recognizing revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied. Our sales arrangements generally ask customers to pay in advance before any services can be arranged. The company recognizes revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Documents and terms and the completion of any customer acceptance requirements, when applicable, are used to verify services rendered. The Company has no returns or sales discounts and allowances because services rendered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

As of December 31, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

**Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

Not applicable.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Pony Group, Inc.

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pony Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

**Substantial Doubt about the Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern**

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**NOTE 1 - <u>ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES</u>**

***<u>Organization and Operations</u>***

 ****

PONY GROUP INC, (The "Company" or "PONY") was incorporated on Jan 7, 2019 in the state of Delaware.

On March 7, 2019, Pony Group Inc (the "Purchaser"), and Wenxian Fan, the sole owner of PONY LIMOUSINE SERVICES LIMITED, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which Wenxian Fan (the "Seller") would sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser will purchase from the Seller, 10,000 shares of the PONY LIMOUSINE SERVICES LIMITED, which represented 100% of the shares. On March 07, 2019, this transaction was completed.

PONY LIMOUSINE SERVICES LIMITED ("PONYHK") is a limited liability company formed under the laws of Hong Kong on April 28, 2016, which was formed by FAN WENXIAN. Its registered office is located at FLAT/RM 01 11/f, LUCKY COMM BLDG, 103 DES VOEUX RD WEST, SHEUNG WAN, HONG KONG. The business nature of the Company is to provide cross boarder limousine services to customers. On February 2, 2019, Universe Travel Culture & Technology Ltd. ("Universe Travel") was incorporated as a wholly-owned PRC subsidiary of Pony HK.

Details of the Company's structure as of December 31, 2022 is as follow:

![](image_002.jpg)

***<u>Reverse Merger Accounting</u>*** – Since Pony HK and Pony US were entities under Ms. Fan's common control prior to the "Purchase Agreement" was executed, and because of certain other factors, including that the member of the Company's executive management is from Pony HK, Pony HK is deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes and the Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and a recapitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect the historical results of Pony HK prior to the Merger and that of the combined Company following the Merger, and do not include the historical financial results prior to the completion of the Merger. Common stock and the corresponding capital amounts of the Company pre-Merger have been retroactively restated as capital stock shares.

***<u>Basis of Accounting and Presentation</u>*** - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 ****

***<u>Cash and Cash Equivalents</u>*** – For purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

 ****

***<u>Accounts Receivable</u>*** - The customers are required to make payments when they book the services, otherwise, the services will not be arranged. Sometimes, the Company extends credit to its group clients.

As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, accounts receivable were $10,723 and $47,838, respectively. The company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible and determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts was not necessary.

The PONY LIMOUSINE SERVICES LIMITED, 100% subsidiary of the company has agreements with its two major clients that the payments for the services rendered be settled every six months. The two major clients combined accounted for 48.24% of the revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively.

***<u>Revenue Recognition</u>*** - The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606. The core principle of ASC606 is to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle, which includes: (1) identifying contracts with customers, (2) identifying performance obligations within those contracts, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract, which may include an estimate of variable consideration, and (5) recognizing revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied. Our sales arrangements generally ask customers to pay in advance before any services can be arranged. The company recognizes revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Documents and terms and the completion of any customer acceptance requirements, when applicable, are used to verify services rendered. The Company has no returns or sales discounts and allowances because services rendered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable.

***<u>Cost of revenue</u>*** – Cost of revenue includes cost of services rendered during the period, net of discounts and sales tax.

 ****

***<u>Income Taxes</u>*** – Income tax expense represents current tax expense. The income tax payable represents the amounts expected to be paid to the taxation authority. Hong Kong profits tax has been provided at the rate of 16.5% on the estimated assessable profit for the period.

***<u>Foreign Currency Translation</u>*** - PONY LIMOUSINE SERVICES LIMITED's functional currency is the Hong Kong Dollar (HK$) and Universe Travel Culture & Technology Ltd.'s functional currency is the Renminbi (RMB). The reporting currency is that of the US Dollar. Assets, liabilities and owners' contribution are translated at the exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the year.

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in HK$ and RMB into USD for the purposes of preparing the financial statements were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| <u>December 31, 2022</u> |  |  |
| Balance sheet | HK$7.80 to US $1.00 | RMB 6.89 to US $1.00 |
| Statement of operation and other comprehensive income | HK$7.83 to US $1.00 | RMB 6.73 to US $1.00 |
| <u>December 31, 2021</u> |  |  |
| Balance sheet | HK$7.80 to US $1.00 | RMB 6.37 to US $1.00 |
| Statement of operation and other comprehensive income | HK$7.77 to US $1.00 | RMB 6.45 to US $1.00 |

---

**NOTE 2 - <u>GOING CONCERN</u>**

The Company had operating losses of $269,078 and $98,006 during the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Company has accumulated deficit of $549,404 and $280,326 as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtain additional financing, as may be required.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

<u>Management's Plan to Continue as a Going Concern</u>

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) obtaining capital from the sale of its equity securities, (2) sales of the Company's products, (3) short-term and long-term borrowings from banks, and (4) short-term borrowings from stockholders or other related party (ies) when needed. However, management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually to secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.

**NOTE 3 - <u>RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS</u>**

PONY GROUP INC, incorporated on Jan 7, 2019 in the state of Delaware, is the sole owner of PONY LIMOUSINE SERVICES LIMITED (Pony HK), as of December 31, 2022, Pony HK has paid $285,600 on behalf of PONY GROUP INC for the US legal and audit cost incurred relevant to the OTC listing.
