SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Mar. 31, 2019 |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (a) Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). |
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (b) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the subsidiaries and VIEs. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (c) Reclassification Certain items in the consolidated financial statements of comparative period have been reclassified to conform to the consolidated financial statements for the current period. |
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block] | (d) Foreign currency translation Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates on the date of the balance sheet. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations. The reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is U.S. dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$, because that is the primary and functional currency where all entities operate. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$, are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity. Translation of amounts from RMB into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods: March 31, 2019 March 31, 2018 Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts 6.7119 6.2807 For the Years Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Items in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and statements of cash flows 6.7126 6.6269 |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (e) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates and assumptions using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. The Company bases its estimates on past experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, revenue recognition, residual values, lease classification, inventory obsolescence, determinations of the useful lives and valuation of long-lived assets, estimates of allowances for doubtful accounts and prepayments, estimates of impairment of intangible assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, estimated fair value used in business acquisitions and other provisions and contingencies. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (f) Fair values of financial instruments Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying value of the Company. Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, financial instruments of the Company comprised primarily current assets and current liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, finance lease receivables and other assets, escrow receivables , due from related parties, borrowings from financial institutions, other liabilities, due to stockholders and due to related parties and affiliates, which approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments, and noncurrent liabilities of borrowings from financial institutions, which approximate their fair values because of the stated loan interest rate to the rate charged by similar financial institutions. The finance lease receivables were recorded at gross adjusted for the deferred interest income using the effective interest rate method. The Company believes that the effective interest rates underlying the finance lease receivables approximates current market rates for such finance leasing products as of March 31, 2019. |
Business Combinations Policy [Policy Text Block] | (g) Business combinations and noncontrolling interests The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 "Business Combinations." The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the acquisition date fair value of the assets transferred to the sellers and liabilities incurred by the Company and equity instruments issued. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the total costs of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated income statements. During the measurement period, which can be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated income statements. For the Company's non-wholly owned subsidiaries, a noncontrolling interest is recognized to reflect portion of equity that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. The cumulative results of operations attributable to noncontrolling interests are also recorded as noncontrolling interests in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Cash flows related to transactions with noncontrolling interests are presented under financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. |
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (h) Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), which is comprised of certain members of the Company's management team. Historically, the Company had one single operating and reportable segment, namely the provision of an online lending services. During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company acquired Hunan Ruixi and and evaluated how the CODM manages the businesses of the Company to maximize efficiency in allocating resources and assessing performance. Consequently, the Company presents two operating and reportable segments as set forth in Notes 1 and 17. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (i) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. |
Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (j) Accounts receivable, net Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount less an allowance for any uncollectible accounts and do not bear interest, and are due on demand. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance when necessary. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of March 31, 2019, the Company determined no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary for accounts receivable. |
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (k) Inventories Inventories consist of automobiles which are held for sale and for leasing purposes, and are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, as determined using the weighted average cost method. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and if applicable, an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its net realizable value, if lower than cost. On an ongoing basis, inventories are reviewed for potential write-down for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventories which equals the difference between the costs of inventories and the estimated net realizable value based upon forecasts for future demand and market conditions. When inventories are written-down to the lower of cost or net realizable value, it is not marked up subsequently based on changes in underlying facts and circumstances. |
Finance Lease Receivables [Policy Text Block] | (l) Finance lease receivables, net Finance lease receivables, which result from sales-type leases, are measured at discounted present value of (i) future minimum lease payments, (ii) any residual value not subject to a bargain purchase option as a finance lease receivables on its balance sheet and (iii) accrued interest on the balance of the finance lease receivables based on the interest rate inherent in the applicable lease over the term of the lease. Management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance when necessary. Finance lease receivables is charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of March 31, 2019, the Company determined no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary for finance lease receivables. As of March 31, 2019, finance lease receivables consisted of the following: March 31, Gross minimum lease payments receivable $ 40,023 Less: Amounts representing estimated executory costs - Minimum lease payments receivable 40,023 Less Allowance for uncollectible minimum lease payments receivable - Net minimum lease payments receivable 40,023 Estimated residual value of leased automobiles - Less: Unearned interest (7,471 ) Financing lease receivables, net $ 32,552 Finance lease receivables, net, current portion $ 10,254 Finance lease receivables, net $ 22,298 Future scheduled minimum lease payments for investments in sales-type leases as of March 31, 2019 are as follows: Minimum future payments receivable Year ending March 31, 2020 $ 13,341 Year ending March 31, 2021 13,341 Year ending March 31, 2022 13,341 $ 40,023 |
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (m) Property and equipment Property and equipment primarily consists of computer equipment, which is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation less any provision required for impairment in value. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method with no residual value based on the estimated useful life. The useful life of property and equipment is summarized as follows: Computer equipment 2 - 5 years Office equipment 3 - 5 years Automobiles 4 years The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the future net undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset, if any, exceeds its fair value determined using a discounted cash flow model. For the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, there was no impairment of property and equipment. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets disposed of or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated income statements. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (n) Intangible assets Purchased intangible assets are recognized and measured at fair value upon acquisition. Separately identifiable intangible assets that have determinable lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method as follows: Platform 7 years Customer relationship 10 years Software 5-7 years Separately identifiable intangible assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss for identifiable intangible assets is based on the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. As a result of declines in revenue and profitability of the online lending services, the Company performed an impairment analysis of its intangible assets as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 using the relief from royalty method. As a result of the analysis, the Company concluded that there was an impairment of its online lending platform and software and recorded a charge of $1,225,073 and $2,000,175 for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The impairment was largely due to a decrease in the long-term revenue projections. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the carrying value of the platform subsequent to the recording of the impairment charge was $1,107,616 and $2,492,976, respectively. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the carrying value of the software subsequent to the recording of the impairment charge was $80,856 and $84,545, respectively. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (o) Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the acquired entity or business as a result of the Company’s acquisitions of interests in its subsidiary, VIE and business. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations. Based on the qualitative assessment, if it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is performed. In performing the two-step quantitative impairment test, the first step compares the fair values of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step will not be required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to accounting for a business combination with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. This allocation process is only performed for the purposes of evaluating goodwill impairment and does not result in an entry to adjust the value of any assets or liabilities. Application of a goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets, liabilities and goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. As a result of declines in revenue and profitability of the online lending services, the Company performed an impairment analysis of its goodwill arising from acquisition of the online lending business as of March 31, 2018 using a discounted cash flow analysis. As a result of the analysis, the Company concluded that there was an impairment of goodwill and recorded a charge of $6,179,206 for the year ended March 31, 2018. The impairment was largely due to a decrease in long-term revenue projections of the online lending services. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the carrying value of the goodwill subsequent to the recording of the impairment charge was $0 and $0. |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (o) Loss per share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock, adjusted for outstanding shares of common stock that are subject to repurchase. For the calculation of diluted loss per share, net loss attributable to stockholders for basic loss per share is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, including share-based awards, under the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities, of which the amounts are insignificant, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share if their inclusion is anti-dilutive. |
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (p) Revenue recognition The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), in the first quarter of 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. The Company has assessed the impact of the guidance by reviewing its existing customer contracts and current accounting policies and practices to identify differences that will result from applying the new requirements, including the evaluation of its performance obligations, transaction price, customer payments, transfer of control and principal versus agent considerations. Based on the assessment, the Company concluded that there was no change to the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for its current revenue streams in scope of ASC 606 and therefore there was no material changes to the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption of ASC 606. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding contracts for automobile transaction and related services amounting to $1,296,587, of which $580,775 is expected to be completed within 12 months after March 31, 2019, and $715,812 is expected to be completed during the 12 months ending March 31, 2020.

The control over the automobile is transferred to the purchaser along with the delivery of automobile. The amount of the revenue is based on the sale price agreed by Hunan Ruixi and the counterparties, including the leasees under sales-type leases and Jinkailong, who acts on behalf of its customers. The Company recognizes revenues when the automobile is delivered and control is transferred to the purchaser. Service fees from automobile purchase services– Services fees from automobile purchase services are paid by automobile purchasers for a series of the services provided to them throughout the purchase process such as credit assessment, preparation of financing application materials, assistance with closing of financing transactions, license and plate registration, payment of taxes and fees, purchase of insurance, installment of GPS devices, ride-hailing driver qualification and other administrative procedures.. The amount of these fees is based on the sales price of the automobiles and relevant services provided. The Company recognizes revenue when all the services are completed and the automobile is delivered to the purchaser. Facilitation fees from automobile transactions – Facilitation fees from automobile purchase transactions are paid by the Company’s customers including third-party sales teams or the automobile purchasers for the facilitation of the sales and financing of automobiles. The Company attracts automobile purchasers through third-party sales teams or its own sales department. For the sales facilitated between third-party sales teams and automobile purchasers, the Company charges the fees to the third-party sales teams, which derived from the commission paid by the automobile purchasers to the third-party sales teams. Relating to sales facilitated between automobile purchasers and dealers, the Company charges the fees to the automobile purchasers. The Company recognizes revenue from facilitation fees when the titles are transferred to the owners. The amount of fees is based on the type of automobile and negotiation with each sales team or automobile purchaser. The fees charged to third-party sales teams or automobile purchasers are paid before the automobile purchase transactions are consummated. These fees are non-refundable upon the delivery of automobiles. Service fees from management and guarantee services – Over 95% of the Company’s customers are drivers of Didi Chuxing Technology Co., Ltd., the largest ride-hailing service platform in China, who sign affiliation agreements with the Company, pursuant to which the Company provides them with management and guarantee services during the affiliation period. Service fees for management and guarantee services are paid by such automobile purchasers on a monthly basis for the management and guarantee services provided during the affiliation period. The Company recognizes revenue over the affiliation period when performance obligations are completed. Online Lending Services Transaction fees – Transaction fees are paid by borrowers to the Company for the work the Company performs through its platform. The amount of these fees is based upon the loan amount, maturity and the credit grade of borrowers. The fees charged to borrowers are paid upon (i) disbursement of the proceeds for loans which accrue interest on a monthly basis or (ii) full payment of principal and interest of loans which accrue interest on a daily basis. These fees are non-refundable upon the issuance of loan. The Company recognizes revenue when loan proceeds are disbursed to borrowers or borrowers pay their principal and interest on loans. Service fees — The Company charges investors service fees on their actual return of investment (interest income). The Company generally receives the service fees upon the investors’ receipt of their investment returns. The Company recognizes revenue when loans are repaid and investors receive their investment income. |
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (q) Income taxes Deferred income tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provisions or benefits for income taxes consists of tax estimated from taxable income plus or minus deferred tax expenses (benefits) if applicable. Deferred tax is calculated using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be utilized with prior net operating loss carried forwards using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be utilized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain 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. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. The Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions or any unrecognized liabilities, interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefit as of March 31, 2019 and 2018. As of March 31, 2019, the tax years ended December 31, 2013 through 2018 for the Company’s PRC entities remain open for statutory examination by PRC tax authorities. |
Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (r) Comprehensive loss Comprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency adjustments. Comprehensive loss is reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as presented on the consolidated balance sheets are the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the balance of accumulated other comprehensive losses were $428,771 and $253,761, respectively. |
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] | (s) Share-based awards Share-based awards granted to the Company’s employees are measured at fair value on grant date and share-based compensation expense is recognized (i) immediately at the grant date if no vesting conditions are required, or (ii) using the accelerated attribution method, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period. The fair value of restricted shares is determined with reference to the fair value of the underlying shares. At each date of measurement, the Company reviews internal and external sources of information to assist in the estimation of various attributes to determine the fair value of the share-based awards granted by the Company, including but not limited to the fair value of the underlying shares, expected life, expected volatility and expected forfeiture rates. The Company is required to consider many factors and make certain assumptions during this assessment. If any of the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the share-based awards changes significantly, share-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current reporting period. |
Lessor, Leases [Policy Text Block] | (t) Leases commitments Leases are classified as either capital or operating leases. Leases that transfer substantially all the benefits and risks incidental to the ownership of assets are accounted for as if there was an acquisition of an asset and incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases expense and is included in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. The Company had no capital lease commitments for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. |
Income Tax Uncertainties, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (u) Significant risks and uncertainties 1) Credit risk a. Assets that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents. The maximum exposure of these assets to credit risk is their carrying amount as of the balance sheet dates. On March 31, 2019, approximately $1,950,000 was deposited with a bank in the United States which is insured by the U.S. government up to $250,000. On March 31, 2019 and 2018, approximately $ 3,070,000 The Company’s operations are carried out in mainland China. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC as well as by the general state of the PRC’s economy. In addition, the Company’s business may be influenced by changes in government policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, rates and methods of taxation and other factors. b. In measuring the credit risk of guarantee services to automobile purchasers, the Company primarily reflects the “probability of default” by the automobile purchasers on its contractual obligations and considers the current financial position of the automobile purchasers and its likely future development. The Company manages the credit risk of automobile purchasers by performing preliminary credit checks of each automobile purchaser and ongoing monitoring every month. By using the current credit loss model, management is of the opinion that the Company is bearing the credit risk to repay the principal and interests to the financial institutions if automobile purchasers default on their payments for more than three months. Management also periodically re-evaluates probability of default of automobile purchasers to make adjustments in the allowance when necessary. However, as the Company commenced the automobile transaction and related services for less than one year, there was no sufficient historic default data and other information to make an estimate on the expected credit losses. Historically, most of the automobile purchasers would pay the Company their previous defaulted amounts within one to three months. For the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company did not provide provisions for the guarantee services. As at March 31, 2019, the maximum contingent liabilities the Company exposed to would be $11,548,000 if all the automobile purchasers defaulted . Automobiles are used as collateral to secure the payment obligations of the automobile purchasers under the financing agreements. The Company estimated the fair market value of the collateral to be approximately $10,152,000 as at March 31, 2019, based on the market price and the useful life of such collateral, which represents about 88% of the contingent liabilities. c. In measuring the credit risk of accounts receivables due from the automobile purchasers (the “customers”), the Company mainly reflects the “probability of default” by the customer on its contractual obligations and considers the current financial position of the customer and the risk exposures to the customer and its likely future development. However, as the Company commenced the automobile transaction and related services for less than one year, there was no sufficient historic default data and other information to make an estimate on the expected credit losses. Historically, most of the automobile purchasers would pay the Company their previously defaulted amounts within one to three months. The Company would provide full provisions on accounts receivable if the customers default on repayments for over three months. For the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company determined no provision was recorded for accounts receivable. 2) Liquidity risk The Company is also exposed to liquidity risk, which may limit the Company’s ability to access capital resources and have liquidity to meet its commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, the Company will turn to other financial institutions and the stockholders to obtain short-term funds to meet the liquidity requirements. 3) Foreign currency risk As of March 31, 2019, substantially all of the Company’s operating activities and major assets and liabilities, except for the cash deposit of approximately $1,950,000 in U.S. dollars, are denominated in RMB, which are not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place through either the Peoples’ Bank of China (“PBOC”) or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted by PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other regulatory institutions requires a payment application together with invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to change in central government policies and international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. When there is a significant change in value of RMB, the gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of a foreign subsidiary will be significant affected. 4) VIE risk It is possible that the VIE Agreements among Sichuan Senmiao, , and the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders would not be enforced in China if the PRC government or courts consider those contracts contravene PRC laws and regulations or otherwise not enforceable for public policy reasons. In the event that the Company were unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, the Company would not be able to exert effective control over Consequently, results of operations, assets and liabilities would not be included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As a result, the Company’s cash flows, financial position, and operating performance would be materially and adversely affected. The Company’s contractual arrangements with Sichuan Senmiao, , and the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders are approved and in place. Management believes that such contracts are enforceable, and considers it is less likely that PRC regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over the Company’s operations and contractual relationships would find the contracts unenforceable. Sichuan Senmiao has the customer relationship the workforce for the Company’s online lending business, the costs of which are expensed as incurred. Though the Company’s operations and businesses do not rely on the operations and businesses of Sichuan Senmiao, they may be partially adversely impacted if Sichuan Senmiao continue to incur losses. |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (v) Recently issued accounting standards In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC Topic 842), with additional amendments and targeted improvements being issued during 2018. This update supersedes existing lease accounting guidance found under ASC 840, Leases (“ASC 840”) and requires the recognition of right-to-use assets and lease obligations by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating leases under existing lease guidance. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Short term leases with a term of 12 months or less are not required to be recognized. The update also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosure of key information regarding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements to increase transparency and comparability among companies. The accounting for lessors does not fundamentally change with this update except for changes to conform and align guidance to the lessee guidance as well as to the new revenue recognition guidance in ASU 2014-09. This update is effective for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2019. The Company will adopt the guidance for its fiscal year beginning April 1, 2019 and will apply the transition option, whereby prior comparative periods will not be retrospectively presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company will also elect the package of practical expedients not to reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs and the lessee practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for certain asset classes (real estate and embedded lease arrangements). The Company will also make a policy election to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases for all asset classes. The Company will elect the package of practical expedients from both the Lessee and Lessor prospective, to the extent applicable. Lessee accounting - the Company estimates the adoption of this update will result in an increase in assets and related liabilities of approximately $ 498,935 Lessor accounting - the Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Also beginning upon adoption, the Company will classify all cash flows from the addition of and repayment of finance lease receivables within operating activities in its consolidated statements of cash flow. Previously, the Company separately classified its flows from addition of finance lease receivables and repayment of finance lease receivables within investing activities and operating activities, respectively. Additionally, as both a lessor and lessee, the Company will be providing new disclosures in respect to its leases. In December 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors. The amendments clarify or simplify certain narrow aspects of ASC 842 for lessors. Specifically: 1) The amendments provide an accounting policy election whereby lessors may choose not to evaluate whether certain sales taxes and other similar taxes are lessor costs or lessee costs. Instead, lessors making the election will account for those costs as if they are lessee costs, i.e., through the balance sheet instead of the income statement. 2) Lessors will exclude from variable payments, and therefore revenue, lessor costs paid by lessees directly to third parties. Conversely, lessors will include in variable payments, and therefore revenue, such costs that are paid by the lessor and reimbursed by the lessee, and 3) Regarding contracts with lease and nonlease components, lessors will allocate certain variable payments to the lease and nonlease components when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable payment is based occur. The amount of variable payments allocated to the lease components will be recognized in profit or loss, while the amount of variable payments allocated to nonlease components will be recognized in accordance with other GAAP. If an entity has not yet adopted the new leases standard, it must adopt ASU 2018-20 concurrently with the leases standard. If an entity has previously adopted the new leases standard, specific transition requirements apply. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities. ASU 2018-17 expands the accounting alternative that allows private companies the election not to apply the variable interest entity guidance to qualifying common control leasing arrangements. ASU 2018-17 broadens the scope of the private company alternative to include all common control arrangements that meet specific criteria (not just leasing arrangements). ASU 2018-17 also eliminates the requirement that entities consider indirect interests held through related parties under common control in their entirety when assessing whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest. Instead, the reporting entity will consider such indirect interests on a proportionate basis. The amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the timing and impact of adopting the updated provisions to its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement - Disclosure Framework (Topic 820). The updated guidance improves the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The updated guidance if effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for any removed or modified disclosures. The Company is currently assessing the timing and impact of adopting the updated provisions to its consolidated financial statements. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions resulting from expanding the scope of Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. Some of the areas for simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. The Company do not plan to early adopt this ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impacts of this updated guidance, and do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2018-02”), which provides financial statement preparers with an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (or portion thereof) is recorded. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of ASU 2018-02 is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for the public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance ASU 2016-13 for recognition of credit losses on financial instruments, which is effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted on January 1, 2019. The guidance introduces a new credit reserving model known as the Current Expected Credit Loss CECL model, which is based on expected losses, and differs significantly from the incurred loss approach used today. The CECL model requires measurement of expected credit losses not only based on historical experience and current conditions, but also by including reasonable and supportable forecasts incorporating forward-looking information and will likely result in earlier recognition of credit reserves. The Company does not intend to adopt the new standard early and is currently evaluating the impact the new guidance will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows; however, it is expected that the new CECL model will alter the assumptions used in calculating credit losses on loans, finance lease receivables, other receivables, prepayments, contingent liabilities from guarantee services, among other financial instruments, and may result in material changes to the Company’s credit reserves. CECL adoption will have broad impact on the financial statements of financial services firms, which will affect key profitability and solvency measures. Some of the more notable expected changes include: - Higher allowance on financial guarantee reserve and finance lease receivable levels and related deferred tax assets. While different asset types will be impacted differently, the expectation is that reserve levels will generally increase across the board for all financial firms. - Increased reserve levels may lead to a reduction in capital levels. - As a result of higher reserving levels, the expectation is that CECL will reduce cyclicality in financial firms’ results, as higher reserving in “good times” will mean that less dramatic reserve increases will be loan related income (which will continue to be recognized on a periodic basis based on the effective interest method) and the related credit losses (which will be recognized up front at origination). This will make periods of loan expansion seem less profitable due to the immediate recognition of expected credit losses. Periods of stable or declining loan levels will look comparatively profitable as the income trickles in for loans, where losses had been previously recognized. On November 22, 2017, the FASB ASU No. 2017-14, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Revenue Recognition Topic 605), and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 116 and SEC Release 33-10403.” The ASU amends various paragraphs in ASC 220, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income; ASC 605, Revenue Recognition; and ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, that contain SEC guidance. The amendments include superseding ASC 605-10-S25-1 (SAB Topic 13) as a result of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 116 and adding ASC 606-10-S25-1 as a result of SEC Release No. 33-10403. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. T he Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows of the Company. |
