NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Lakeside Holding Limited (the “Company”), is a holding company established on August 28, 2023 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company, acting through its subsidiary, is primarily engaged in providing customized cross-border ocean freight solutions and airfreight solutions. On July 1, 2024, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 1,500,000 shares of its common stock at an IPO price of $4.50 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $6.75 million from the offering (Note 11). In connection with the offering, the Company’s common shares began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “LSH.”
Reorganization
A Reorganization of the legal structure was completed on September 23, 2023. The Reorganization involved the incorporation of Lakeside Holding Limited and the transfer the shares of American Bear Logistics Corp (“ABL Chicago”) to the Company.
Prior to the Reorganization, Mr. Henry Liu, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and Mr. Shuai Li, the President and Chief Operating Officer (“COO”), each owned 50% equity interest of the ABL Chicago (collectively, the “Controlling Group”). On September 23, 2023, the Controlling Group transferred their 100% equity interest in ABL Chicago to the Company for a consideration of $1,000. Upon this Reorganization, the Company ultimately owns 100% equity interest of ABL Chicago. As of the date of this report, the Controlling Group collectively holds 76.0% equity interest of the Company through H&L Logistics International LLC which holds 36.0% equity interest of the Company, and Jiushen Transport LLC, which holds 40.0% equity interest of the Company.
As part of the series of reorganization transactions to be completed before the offering, a 120-for-1 share split was conducted by the Company on March 29, 2024. After the share split and as of the date of this consolidated financial statements, the issued share capital of the Company consists of $600 divided into 6,000,000 common shares, par value of $0.0001 each.
Before and after the Reorganization, the Company, together with its subsidiaries, is effectively controlled by the same Controlling Group, and therefore the Reorganization is considered as a recapitalization of entities under common control in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50-25. The consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries have been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 805-50-45-5.
Details of the Company and its subsidiary are set out below upon the Reorganization:
| Name | Date of Incorporation | Jurisdiction of Formation | Percentage of direct/indirect Economic Ownership | Principal Activities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parent Company | ||||
| Lakeside Holding Limited | August 28, 2023 | Nevada | 100% | Holding company |

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION (cont.)
On February 5, 2018, American Bear Logistics Corp. (“ABL Chicago”) was established under the laws of the State of Illinois. The Company is providing customized cross-border ocean and airfreight solutions.
On July 8, 2022, ABL Chicago entered into an agreement with two third-party individuals who were the original shareholders of American Bear International Logistics (Wuhan) Corp. (“ABL Wuhan”), to acquire 51% ownership interest of ABL Wuhan with nominal consideration. ABL Wuhan was originally incorporated on March 27, 2019 in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, with a total registered capital of RMB 0.5 million (approximately $0.07 million). Prior to the acquisition, ABL Wuhan had no active business operations since its inception and the registered capital had not been paid. Management concluded that this acquisition did not qualify as a business combination under ASC 805 — Business Combinations. ABL Wuhan primarily focuses on facilitating the logistic services for customers in China. On May 18, 2023, ABL Wuhan increased its registered capital to RMB 3.0 million (approximately $0.41 million).
On August 4, 2023, ABL Wuhan further increased its registered capital to RMB 5.0 million (approximately $0.7 million), while ABL Chicago reduced its unpaid registered capital contribution of RMB 530,000 (approximately $75,000). Concurrently, the third-party shareholder increased their registered capital contribution accordingly. Following this change, the third-party shareholder owns 80% of equity interest and ABL Chicago owns 20% of equity interest. Consequently, ABL Wuhan ceased to be the Company’s subsidiary after August 4, 2023.
On February 2, 2024, ABL Chicago reduced its unpaid registered capital contribution of RMB 750,000 (approximately $105,000) in its investee (ABL Wuhan). Concurrently, the third-party shareholder increased their registered capital contribution accordingly. Following this change, the third-party shareholder owns 95% of equity interest and ABL Chicago owns 5% of equity interest.
The Company recognized a loss of $73,151 from deconsolidation of a subsidiary and recorded as investment in other entity of $15,741 on consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024.
The following table summarized the assets and liabilities of ABL Wuhan as of the deconsolidation date:
| Cash | $48,893 |
|---|---|
| Working capital (excluding cash), net | 29,812 |
| Carrying value of net assets | 78,705 |
| Fair value of the consideration received | — |
| Fair value of the retained noncontrolling investment | 15,741 |
| Carrying value of noncontrolling interest deconsolidated | (10,187) |
| Loss on deconsolidation of a subsidiary | $(73,151) |
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and have been consistently applied. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Lakeside Holding Limited and its subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Revision of cash flow statement
The Company identified errors in the statement of cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2023 relating to interest expense of $24,172, which were previously included as cash flows from financing activities and have been reclassified as cash flows from operating activities. The Company considered the errors identified in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99 and determined the impact was immaterial to the previously issued consolidated financial statements. Nonetheless, the Company has revised the previously reported consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2023. This reclassification had no impact on the Company’s operating results or financial positions for the respective years.
Use of estimates and assumptions
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant accounting estimates required to be made by management include allowance for credit losses, the percentage of performance obligation completed at the reporting period. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and its estimates on historical experience, current and expected future conditions and various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances based on the information available to management at the time these estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results and outcomes may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions.
Cash
Cash consists of balances with the banks. The Company maintains all of its bank accounts in the United States, which are insured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).
Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivables are carried at the original invoiced amount less an estimated allowance for expected credit losses based on the probability of future collection. The Company reviews its accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. The Company grant credit to customers, without collateral, under normal payment terms. The Company uses a loss rate method to estimate the allowance for credit losses. For those past due balances over one year and other higher risk receivables identified by the Company are reviewed individually for collectability. The Company evaluates the expected credit loss of accounts receivable based on customer financial condition and historical collection information adjusted for current market economic conditions and forecasts of future economic performance when appropriate. Loss-rate approach is based on the historical loss rates and expectations of future conditions. The Company writes off potentially uncollectible accounts receivable against the allowance for credit losses if it is determined that the amounts will not be collected. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded the allowance of credit loss of $54,066 and $25,909, respectively.
Investment in Other entity
The Company assesses its investment in ABL Wuhan and determines that no significant influence over investee existed, as defined in ASC 323-10-15-6, and therefore accounts for the investment using the cost method of accounting. Under the cost method of accounting, the investment is measured at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in net income. The investment in other entity that does not report net asset value is subject to qualitative assessment for indicators of impairments.
On August 4, 2023, ABL Wuhan ceased to be the Company’s subsidiary and became the Company’s long-term investment. As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s investment in ABL Wuhan amounted to $15,741 andno impairment charges was recorded.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The straight-line depreciation method is used to compute depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
| Useful life | |
| Furniture and fixtures | 7 years |
|---|---|
| Machinery equipment | 5 years |
| Vehicles | 5 years |
| Leasehold improvement | Lesser of the lease term or estimated useful lives of the assets |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in other income or expenses in the consolidated statements of income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss).
Impairment of long-lived asset
Long-lived assets, including plant, property and equipment, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable or that the useful life is shorter than the Company had originally estimated. When these events occur, the Company evaluates the impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets to an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value of the assets over the fair value of the assets. The Company reviews the impairment of its right-of-use assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. No impairment charge was recognized for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Accounts payable
The account payables are derived from logistic services and forwarding service providers. The balances arise from logistics services provider are usually settled within 7 to 30 days.
Deferred offering costs
Pursuant to ASC 340-10-S99-1, incremental offering costs directly attributable to an offering of equity securities are deferred and would be charged against the gross proceeds of the offering as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. These costs include legal fees related to the registration drafting and counsel, consulting fees related to the registration preparation, audit fees, SEC filing and print related costs, exchange listing costs, and road show related costs.
Leases
The Company evaluates the contracts it entered into to determine whether such contracts contain leases at inception. A contract contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At commencement, contracts containing a lease are further evaluated for classification as an operating or finance lease where the Company is a lessee.
Operating Leases
A lease for which substantially all the benefits and risks incidental to ownership remain with the lessor is classified by the lease as an operation lease. Operating leases are included in the line items right-of-use (ROU) asset, lease liabilities, current, and lease liabilities, non-current in the consolidated balance sheet. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. For operating leases, the Company measures its lease liabilities based on the present value of the total lease payments not yet paid discounted based on the more readily determinable of the rate implicit in the lease or its incremental borrowing rate, which is the estimated rate the Company would be required to pay for a collateralized borrowing equal to the total lease payments over the term of the lease. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company measures ROU assets based on the corresponding lease liability adjusted for payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, and initial direct costs it incurs under the lease. The Company begins recognizing lease expense when the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the Company. Lease expenses for lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
For leases with lease term less than one year (short-term leases), the Company has elected not to recognize a lease liability or ROU asset on its consolidated balance sheet. Instead, it recognizes the lease payments as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Short-term lease costs are immaterial to its consolidated statements of operations and cash flows.
Finance leases
Leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks incidental to the ownership of assets are accounted for as finance leases as if there was an acquisition of an asset and incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease. Lease cost for finance leases where the Company is the lessee includes the amortization of the ROU asset, which is amortized on a straight-line basis and recorded to “Depreciation of right-of-use finance asset” and interest expense on the finance lease liability, which is calculated using the interest method and recorded to “Interest expense”. Finance lease ROU assets are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the terms of the respective leases. If the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option to purchase the underlying asset at the end of lease term, the finance lease ROU assets are amortized to the end of useful life of the assets on a straight-line basis.
Related parties
The Company adopted ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Non-controlling interest
The non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated balance sheets, separately from equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company. Non-controlling interests in the operating results of the Company are presented on the face of the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) as an allocation of the total income or loss between non-controlling interest holders and the shareholders of the Company. As of June 30, 2023, non-controlling interests represent 49% non-controlling shareholders’ interests in ABL Wuhan. On August 4, 2023, ABL Wuhan ceased to be the Company’s subsidiary and became the Company’s investment in other entity. Therefore, the Company did not have non-controlling interest as of June 30, 2024.
Fair value of financial instruments
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” (ASC 820) and ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (ASC 825), requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
| Level 1 — | Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
| Level 2 — | Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. |
| Level 3 — | Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable from third parties and related parties, amount due from related parties, due to shareholders, other receivables, contract assets, accounts payable, other payables, dividend payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. For lease liabilities and loans payable, their carrying value approximate the fair value at the year-end, as the interest rates used to discount the host contracts approximate market rates. The Company noted no transfers between levels during any of the periods presented. The Company did not have any instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring nor non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2024.
Revenue recognition
Revenues were presented under ASC 606 and all subsequent ASUs that modified ASC 606 for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, the Company applies the following steps:
Step 1: Identify the contract (s) with a customer
Revenue recognition(cont.)
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
The Company generates revenue from providing cross-border ocean and airfreight solutions. No practical expedients were used when adoption ASC606. Revenue recognition policies are as follow:
Revenue from cross-border freights solutions
The Company provides comprehensive services in the United States for customers to transport goods from overseas to the United States and from the United States to overseas. Operating under service contracts, for goods entering the United States, after the goods arrive at a U.S. seaports or airports, the Company offers customs clearance, container unloading, storage, unpacking, packing, and transportation services to the locations specified by the customers. For customers shipping goods overseas, the Company provides cargo space arrangements, storage, packing, export customs clearance, and arranges transportation to seaports or airports for loading.
The transaction price is determined based on the range of services provided and the volume of goods. The Company considers these comprehensive services as one performance obligation since these promises are not distinct within the context of the contract, and the bundle of integrated services represents a combined output. This performance obligation is satisfied over time as customers receive the benefits of these services during the process of transporting goods from one location to another.
For goods entering the United States, the Company determines that the performance period for revenue recognition is between the pickup date and the date of completing delivery. For customers shipping goods overseas, the Company determines that the performance period for revenue recognition is between the container or cargo space confirmed date and the date of arrival at destination for customer orders with cargo space booking service. For customers shipping goods overseas, the Company determines that the performance period for revenue recognition is between pickup date and the date when the goods are departed from airport or port for customer orders without cargo space booking service.. The performance period may be estimated if the date of completing delivery or the departure date or arrival date has not occurred by the reporting date. Determining the performance period and the progress of the transportation as of the reporting date requires management’s estimation and judgement, which may impact the timing of revenue recognition.
Principal and agent considerations
In the Company’s transportation business, the Company utilizes independent contractors and third-party carriers and related party carriers in the performances of some transportation services as and when needed. U.S. GAAP requires us to evaluate, using a control model, whether the Company itself promises to provide services to the customers (as a principal) or to arrange for services to be provided by another party (as an agent). Based on the Company’s evaluation using a control model, the Company determined that in all of its major business activities, it serves as a principal rather than an agent within their revenue arrangements. Revenue and the associated purchased transportation costs are both reported on a gross basis within the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).
Disaggregation of revenues
The Company disaggregates its revenue from types of services providing and the customer geographic of its customers, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
The Company’s disaggregation of revenues for years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is disclosed as below:
By service type
| June 30, 2024 | June 30, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Cross-border ocean freights solutions | $7,873,835 | $8,073,685 |
| Cross-border airfreights solutions | 10,441,320 | 4,799,206 |
| Total revenue | $18,315,155 | $12,872,891 |
By customer geographic location
| June 30, 2024 | June 30, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Asia-based customers | $13,081,165 | $5,531,468 |
| U.S.-based customers | 5,233,990 | 7,341,423 |
| Total revenue | $18,315,155 | $12,872,891 |
By customer geographic
Contract assets
Contract assets represent estimated amounts for which the Company has the right to consideration for the services provided while a delivery is still in-transit and has not yet invoiced the customer. Upon completion of the performance obligations, which can vary in duration based upon the method of transport and billing the customer, these amounts become classified within accounts receivable. Contract assets increased by $84,766 or 189.5% from $44,740 as of June 30, 2023 to $129,506 as of June 30, 2024. The increase was mainly due to more in-transit deliveries that has not yet invoiced the customers near the period ended June 30, 2024.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenue primarily consists of the transportation and delivery costs, warehouse service charges, custom declaration and terminal charges, freight arrangement charges and other overhead cost allocation, which includes operating and financing lease-related costs, the depreciation expenses of property and equipment and others miscellaneous items.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses primarily include salaries and staff benefits, repair and maintenance expense, depreciation on property and equipment, lease expenses, travelling and entertainment, bank charges, legal and professional fees, insurance expenses and other office expenses.
401(k) benefit plan
401(k) benefit plan covers substantially all employees and allows voluntary employee contributions up to the annually adjusted Inland Revenue Service (“IRS”) dollar limit. These voluntary contributions are matched equal to 100% of the first 3% of the employee’s compensation contributed and 50% of contributions exceeding 3% of eligible compensation, not to exceed 5% of the total eligible compensation. The employees’ voluntary contributions and the Company’s matching contributions are 100% vested immediately. The Company adopted the 401(k) benefit plan from April 2022. The expense related to matching employees’ contributions for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $30,616 and $32,896, respectively.
Rental income
The Company subleased portion of its offices area, warehouse and parking lots to third parties and related parties. The Company recognizes rental income over the sublease period. For the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized rental income amounted to $327,235 and $547,002, respectively.
Income taxes
Before the Reorganization, the Company has elected to be taxed as an S Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. As an S Corporation, the Company is not subject to federal income tax and state tax in Illinois. However, Illinois allows subchapter S corporations to elect to pay the Pass-through Entity (PTE) tax at entity level for tax years ending on or after December 31, 2021 and beginning prior to January 1, 2026. The PTE tax rate is equal to 4.95% of the taxpayer’s net income for the taxation year. The S corporation making the election is liable for paying the PTE tax, and the shareholders will receive credit for the amount of PTE tax credit paid but shall be liable to pay any remaining tax based on their share of the pass-through entity’s income and credits. Illinois also taxes 1.5% replacement tax on S corporation’s net taxable income and franchise tax based on the corporation’s paid-in-capital for the 12 months prior to the annual report filing date. The franchise tax is not applicable for the Company. After the Reorganization, the Company is subjected to U.S. federal income tax at 21% and the 7.0% state tax and the 2.5% replacement tax in the state of Illinois.
Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. As of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Company did not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. It is the Company’s policy to includes penalties and interest expense related to income taxes as a component of other expense and interest expense, respectively, as necessary. The Company’s historical tax years will remain open for examination by the local authorities until the statute of limitations has passed.
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income (loss) divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.
Foreign currency transactions
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our operations, except for ABL Wuhan, is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of ABL Wuhan is the RMB. The assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of ABL Wuhan are remeasured in accordance with ASC 830. For the year ended June 30, 2023, assets and liabilities of ABL Wuhan are translated into U.S. dollars based upon exchange rates prevailing at the end of each period. Revenues and expenses of ABL Wuhan are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. The resulting translation adjustment is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. During the year ended June 30, 2024, ABL Wuhan ceased to be the Company’s subsidiary after August 4, 2023. There is no translated adjustment regarding ABL Wuhan since the date of deconsolidation.
Commitments and contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, which cover a wide range of matters. Liabilities for contingencies are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss is incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability is accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingency liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.
Segment reporting
The Company follows ASC 280, “Segment Reporting.” The Company’s Chief Executive Officer or chief operating decision-maker reviews the consolidated financial results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Company as a whole and hence, the Company has only one reportable segment. The Company operates and manages its business as a single segment. As the Company’s long-lived assets are substantially all located in the United States and substantially all the Company’s revenues are derived from within the United States.
Concentrations and risks
a. Concentration of credit risk
The Company estimates credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. Assets that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, contract assets, other receivable and amounts due from related parties. The Company has designed their credit policies with an objective to minimize their exposure to credit risk.
The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amounts at the balance sheet dates. The Company maintains majority of the bank accounts at financial institutions in the United States, where there is $250,000 standard deposit insurance coverage limit per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank and per ownership category. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the cash deposited of $123,550 and $174,018 is within the insurance coverage limit, respectively. To limit the exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Company primarily places cash deposits with large financial institutions in the United States.
The Company has adopted a credit policy of dealing with creditworthy counterparties to mitigate the credit risk from defaults. The management team conducts credit evaluations of its customers, and generally does not require collateral or other security from them. The Company establishes an accounting policy to provide for allowance for credit loss based on the individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the future economic conditions. Due from related parties’ balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company’s exposure to impairment is not significant. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, none of the Company’s due from related parties are impaired.
b. Foreign exchange risk
ABL Wuhan which ceased to be our subsidiary on August 4, 2023 has functional currency in RMB. The value of the Chinese Yuan against the U.S. dollar is affected by the changes in China and United States economic conditions. We do not believe that we currently have any significant direct foreign exchange risk and have not used any derivative financial instruments to hedge exposure to such risk. Also, by considering the volume of ABL Wuhan’s business, the impact of foreign exchange risk is limited.
c. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest rates from our lessors and our private lenders. The shareholder loans bear no interest. We have not been exposed to material risks due to the fact that our leasing obligations’ interest rates and private loan’s interest are fixed at commence date of the leases and loans and we have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest risk exposure. However, we cannot provide assurance that we will not be exposed to material risks due to changes in market interest rate in the future.
d. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises through the excess of financial obligations over available financial assets due at any point in time. Our objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient readily available reserves in order to meet our liquidity requirements at any point in time. The Company monitors and analyze its cash flow position, its ability to generate sufficient revenue sources in the future and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company is historically funded the working capital needs primarily from operations, loans, as well as shareholder advances to the Company.
Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. This ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The new standard will become effective for us beginning January 1, 2024, using either a modified retrospective or a fully retrospective method of transition and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on our financial statements.
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions,” which clarifies and amends the guidance of measuring the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of the equity securities. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (Topic 280). This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of the ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is also permitted. This ASU will likely result in us including the additional required disclosures when adopted. Management is currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and expect to adopt them for the year ending December 31, 2024.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income tax paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. This ASU will likely result in the required additional disclosures being included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, once adopted.
The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) and statements of cash flows.

NOTE 10 — TAXES
Corporate Income Taxes
Before the Reorganization, the Company was elected to be taxed as an “S Corporation” under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and comparable state income tax law. As an S Corporation, the Company is not subject to Federal income tax and Illinois State tax. Taxable income “pass through” to the personal tax returns of the owners. However, Illinois allows subchapter S corporations to elect to pay the Pass-through Entity (“PTE”) tax at entity level for tax years ending on or after December 31, 2021 and beginning prior to January 1, 2026. The PTE tax rate is equal to 4.95% of the taxpayer’s net income for the taxable year. The S corporation making the election is liable for paying the PTE tax, and the shareholders will receive credit for the amount of PTE tax credit paid but shall be liable to pay any remaining tax based on their share of the pass-through entity’s income and credits. Illinois also taxes 1.5% replacement tax on S corporation’s net taxable income.
The Company terminated its status as a Subchapter S Corporation as of June 30, 2024, in connection with its Reorganization. As a C Corporation, the Company combined statutory income tax rate is 28% in each period, representing a U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% and 7% state income tax for Illinois. Also, as a C Corporation, the Company is subjected to Illinois State replacement tax at rate of 2.5% and no PTE tax is applicable.
The Company’s PRC subsidiary, Wuhan ABL, which ceased to a subsidiary since August 4, 2023, is governed by the income tax laws of the PRC and is qualified as small and micro-sized enterprises with annual taxable income less than RMB 3 million and is subjected to 5% of the preferential tax rate.
In conjunction with the termination of the Subchapter S corporation status, the C Corporation deferred tax assets and liabilities were estimated for future tax consequences attributable to difference between the financial statement carrying amounts of the Company’s existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The deferred tax assets and liabilities were measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of the change in tax rates resulting from becoming a C Corporation was recognized as a $72,152 decrease to the net deferred tax assets to $89,581 and an decrease to the provision for income taxes of $186,485 during the year ended June 30, 2024.
As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have an accrued liability for uncertain tax positions and does not anticipate recognition of any significant liabilities for uncertain tax positions during the next 12 months. For the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, no amounts were incurred for income tax uncertainties or interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals, or material deviation from its position. The Company’s tax years since its formation remain subject to possible income tax examination by its major taxing authorities for all periods.
