Current report
Our eligibility for listing on Nasdaq depends on our ability to comply with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements.
Current report
On October 2, 2024, we received written notice from Nasdaq indicating that the bid price for our common stock for the last 31 consecutive business days, had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share and, as a result, we are not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for the continued listing on Nasdaq, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
Current report
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have a period of 180 calendar days, or until March 31, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during this 180 day period.
Current report
If we are not in compliance by March 31, 2025, we may qualify for a second 180 calendar day compliance period. To qualify, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If it appears to Nasdaq that we will not be able to cure the deficiency, or we are otherwise not eligible, then Nasdaq will notify us of its determination to delist our common stock, at which point we would have an option to appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel.
Current report
We are considering available options to regain compliance Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain such compliance.
Current report
If Nasdaq delists our common stock from trading on its exchange, we and our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:
Current report
We believe there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as of the date of this Report. The going concern may be included in our future reports and could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of new debt or equity securities or otherwise.
Current report
As of September 30, 2024, we had working capital of approximately $2.3 million and cash of approximately $1.3 million. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, we had net loss of approximately $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, net cash used in operating activities of the Company was approximately $9.4 million. As of September 30, 2024, we had a current portion of contractual obligation of approximately $9.6 million. We plan to alleviate the going concern risk through (i) equity financing to support the Company’s working capital; (ii) other available sources of financing (including debt) from banks and other financial institutions; and (iii) financial support from the Company’s related parties. There is no assurance that we will be successful in implementing the foregoing plans or that additional financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Our inability to secure needed financing when required could require material changes to our business plans and could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern and results of operations.

Previous report
The majority of our cash is held in accounts at US banking institutions. Cash held in our depository accounts may sometimes exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) standard deposit insurance limit of $250,000. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, $2.5 million and $ nil cash deposited with banks was uninsured. If such banking institutions were to fail, such as Silicon Valley Bank when the FDIC took control in March 2023, we could lose all or a portion of those amounts held in excess of such insured amounts. In the future, our access to our cash in amounts adequate to finance our operations could be significantly impaired if the financial institutions with which we have arrangements encounter liquidity constraints or failures. Any future limitation on timely access to our funds or any material loss that we may experience in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and could materially impact our ability to pay our operating expenses or make other payments.
Previous report
Our planned rental service may not be successful.
Previous report
As we launch our new rental program to meet increasing market demand for safe, UL-certified e-bikes, our success will depend on several critical factors, including our ability to launch the rental services on time, effectively scale operations, manage supply chain logistics, secure necessary rental licenses, maintain the high-quality standards of our e-bikes, and successfully develop and deploy our mobile app for user access. Delays, challenges in obtaining or renewing rental licenses, difficulties in expanding the service to planned locations, or issues with the mobile app's performance and user experience, could adversely affect our brand, business, financial condition, and future prospects.

Previous wording
On June 7, 2024, we closed our IPO of 2,250,000 shares of our common stock at the price of $4.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds to us of $7.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. On June 25, 2024, we sold an additional 337,500 shares of common stock to the underwriters of our IPO for gross proceeds of $1.4 million upon full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. All of the shares issued and sold in our IPO were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-276830), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2024. The Benchmark Company, LLC acted as representative of the underwriters. We paid the underwriters in aggregate approximately $0.7 million in underwriting commissions and incurred offering expenses of approximately $0.5 million. No payments for such expenses were made to our directors or officers or their associates, holders of 10% or more of any class of our equity securities, or to our affiliates. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO from those disclosed in the final prospectus. No proceeds were used for the year ended March 31, 2024. As of August 15, 2024, we used approximately $4.3 million, $0.5 million, and $1.7 million for purchase of inventory and production costs, software development, and working capital, respectively. The balance is being held in short-term interest-bearing deposits and securities.

No proceeds were used for the year ended March 31, 2024. Given the decline in sales and a weaker market demand, we launched E-bike rental business and reallocated proceeds originally intended for retail store expansion toward strategically building our inventory reserve. As of November 14, 2024, we used approximately $4.3 million, $2.5 million, and $2.5 million for purchase of inventory and production costs, software development, and working capital, respectively. As of the date of this Report, we have used all the proceeds from the IPO.
