| Summary of significant accounting policies | Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), regarding financial reporting, and include all normal and recurring adjustments that management of the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and operation results. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year of 2024. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and note thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. Principles of consolidation The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation. Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of directors. Use of
estimates In preparing the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements,
as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and
assumptions include, but are not limited to, the assessment of the allowance for credit loss, useful lives of property, equipment and
intangible assets, the recoverability of long-lived assets, warrant liabilities, uncertain tax position. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. Emerging Growth Company The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Non-controlling interests Our non-controlling interests
represent the minority shareholders’ ownership interests related to our subsidiaries, including 44% for Ocean HK and its subsidiaries.
The non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated balance sheets separately from equity attributable to our shareholders.
Non-controlling interests in the results of us are presented on the consolidated statement of income as allocations of the total income
or loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 between non-controlling interest holders and our shareholders. Non-controlling interests
consist of the following:

Total non-controlling interests 86,196 (926,878 ) (128,395 ) Foreign currency translation and other comprehensive income (loss) On June 30, 2023, the Company determined that it would qualify as a foreign private issuer, as that term is defined in Rule 3b-4(c) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, beginning as of July 1, 2023. The reporting currency of the Company was Renminbi (“RMB”) for the year ended December 31, 2023. The company has also presented USD for the period ended June 30, 2024 as additional information to the reader. Pursuant to Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) 830 “Foreign Currency Matters”, the Company determined that its functional currency is RMB.
MicroCloud and its Hong Kong subsidiaries, Mengyun HK, Broadvision HK, Ocean HK and Mcloudvr HK, maintain their book and records in USD,
hence their financial information were translated into RMB in preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Assets and liabilities
are translated at the exchange rates on the balance sheet date, equity amounts are translated at historical exchange rates, and revenues,
expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the period. In the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the financial information of the Company and other entities located outside of the PRC has been translated into RMB. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates on the balance sheet date, equity amounts are translated at historical exchange rates, and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the period. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustment is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The balance sheet amounts,
except for shareholders’ equity for MC, Mengyun HK, Mcloudvr HK and Broadvision HK as of June 30, 2024 and
December 31, 2023 were translated at RMB
1.00 to USD 0.1403 and to USD 0.1412 RMB 1.00 to USD 0.1407 and to USD 0.1444 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. Cash and cash equivalents also consist of funds earned from the Company’s operating revenues which were held at third party platform fund accounts which are unrestricted as to immediate use or withdraw. The Company maintains most of its bank accounts in the PRC and HK. Short-term investments Short-term investments consist primarily of wealth management products issued by commercial banks and investment banks, which contains variable interest indexed to the performance of underlying assets and redeemable on demand. These investments are stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value are reflected in other income in the consolidation statements of income and comprehensive income. Accounts receivable, net Accounts receivable, net are stated at the original amount less an allowance for credit losses. The credit terms are generally 90 days. Accounts receivable, net are recognized in the period when the Company has provided services to its customers and when its right to consideration is unconditional. On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” Topic 326): Measurement on Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, including certain subsequent amendments, transitional guidance and other interpretive guidance within ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU2019-11, ASU 2020-02 and ASU 2020-03 (collectively, including ASU 2016-13, “ASC 326”). ASC 326 introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate the allowance for credit losses, which replaces the previous incurred loss impairment model. The adoption of this ASU does not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluates its accounts receivable for expected credit losses on a regular basis. The Company maintains an estimated allowance for credit losses to reduce its accounts receivable to the amount that it believes will be collected. The Company’s estimation of allowance for credit losses considers factors such as historical credit loss experience, age of receivable balances, current market conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, as well as an assessment of receivables due from specific identifiable counterparties to determine whether these receivables are considered at risk or uncollectible. The Company adjusts the allowance percentage periodically when there are significant differences between estimated bad debts and actual bad debts. If there is strong evidence indicating that the accounts receivables are likely to be unrecoverable, the Company also makes specific allowance in the period in which a loss is determined to be probable. Accounts receivable balances are written off after all collection efforts have been exhausted. The allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024 was RMB 4,588,786 and RMB 2,232,523 (USD 313,257), respectively. Property plant and equipment, net Property plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment if applicable. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets with 5% residual value. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Schedule of estimated useful lives
Useful Life
Office equipment 3
Mechanical equipment 3 5
Electronic
and other equipment 3 5
Vehicles 3 5 Cost method investments The Company accounts for investments with less than 20% of the voting shares and does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee using the cost method. The Company records cost method investments at the historical cost in its condensed consolidated financial statements and subsequently records any dividends received from the net accumulated earnings of the investee as income. Dividends received in excess of earnings are considered a return of investment and are recorded as reduction in the cost of the investments. Cost method investments are evaluated for impairment when facts or circumstances indicate that the fair value of the long-term investments is less than its carrying value. An impairment is recognized when a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary. The Company reviews several factors to determine whether a loss is other-than-temporary. These factors include, but are not limited to, the: (i) nature of the investment; (ii) cause and duration of the impairment; (iii) extent to which fair value is less than cost; (iv) financial condition and near term prospects of the investments; and (v) ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Impairment for long-lived assets Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed 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 value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment is identified, the Company would reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. Convertible
bonds Convertible bonds are debt
or equity instruments that either require or permit the investor to convert the instrument into equity securities of the issuer. The Company
accounts for its convertible notes in accordance with ASC 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options, whereby the convertible instrument
is initially accounted for as a single unit of account, unless it contains a derivative that must be bifurcated from the host contract
in accordance with ASC 815-15 Derivatives and hedging – Embedded Derivatives or the substantial premium model in ASC 470-20 Debt
– Debt with Conversion and Other Options applies. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the convertible bonds amounted to
RMB 33,546,560 4,707,100 Business combination The purchase price of an acquired company is allocated between tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquired business based on their estimated fair values, with the residual of the purchase price recorded as goodwill. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The results of operations of the acquired business are included in the Company’s operating results from the date of acquisition. Fair value measurement The accounting standard regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The accounting standards define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follow:
● 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. Warrants liabilities The Company accounts for warrants (Public Warrants or Private Warrants) as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 480 and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has elected to account for its Public Warrants as equity and the Private Warrants as liabilities. Revenue recognition Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606 using the modified retrospective adoption method. Based on the requirements of ASC Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized when the following 5-step revenue recognition criteria are met:
1) Identify the contract with a customer
2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract
3) Determine the transaction price
4) Allocate the transaction price
5) Recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation The Company’s revenue recognition policies effective upon the adoption of ASC 606 are as follows: (i) Holographic Solutions a. Holographic Technology LiDAR Products The Company generates light detection and ranging (“LiDAR”) revenue through selling integrated circuit board embedded with holographic software. The Company typically enters into written contracts with its customer where the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified and sales prices to the customers are fixed with no separate sales rebate, discount, or other incentive and no right of return exists on sales of inventory. The Company’s performance obligation is to deliver products according to contract specifications. The Company recognizes product revenue at a point in time when the control of products is transferred to customers. b. Holographic Technology Intelligence Vision software and Technology Development Service The Company generates revenue by developing advanced driver assistance systems (“ADAS”) software and technology, which are generally on a fixed-priced basis. The Company has no alternative use for the customized software and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Revenues from ADAS software development contracts are recognized over time during the contract period based on the Company’s measurement of progress towards completion using input method, which is usually measured by comparing labor hours expended to date to total estimated labor hours needed to satisfy the performance obligation. Assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent in the estimates used to measure progress could affect the amount of revenues, receivables and deferred revenues at each reporting period. The Company has a long history of developing various ADAS software resulting in its ability to reasonably estimate the progress toward completion on each fixed price customized contracts. c. Holographic Technology Licensing and Content Products The Company provides holographic content products and holographic software for music videos, shows, and commercials on a fixed-price basis. These contents and software are generally pre-developed and exist when made available to the customer. Content products are delivered through its website or offline using hard drive. Revenues from licensing and content products are recognized at the point in time when the control of products or services is transferred to customers. No upgrades, maintenance, or any other post-contract customer support are provided. d. Holographic Technology Hardware Sales The Company is a distributer of holographic hardware and generates revenue through resale. In accordance with ASC 606, revenue recognition: principal agent consideration, an entity is a principal if it controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer. Otherwise, the entity is an agent in the transaction. The Company evaluates three indicators of control in accordance with ASU 2016-08: 1) For hardware sales, the Company is the most visible entity to customers and assumes fulfilment risk and risks related to the acceptability of products, including addressing customer complaints directly and handling of product returns or refunds directly. 2) The Company assumes inventory risk after taking the title from vendors and is responsible for product damage during shipment period prior to acceptance of its customers and is also responsible for product return if the customer is not satisfied with the products. 3) The Company determines the resale price of hardware products. 4) The Company is the party that directs the use of the inventory and can prevent the vendor from transferring the product to a customer or to redirect the products to a different customer. After evaluating the above scenario, the Company considers itself the principal of these arrangements and records hardware sales revenue on a gross basis. Hardware sales contracts are on a fixed price basis with no separate sales rebate, discount, or other incentive. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the Company has delivered products and the acceptance by its customer with no future obligation. The Company generally permits returns of products due to deficits; however, returns are historically insignificant. (ii) Holographic Technology Service Holographic advertisements are the use of holographic technology integrated into advertisements on media platforms and offline display. The Company enters advertising contracts with advertisers to promote merchandises and services where the price, which is generally based on cost per action (“CPA”), is fixed and determinable. The Company provides its advertising service to channel providers where the amounts cost per action are also fixed and determinable. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when agreed actions are performed. The Company considers itself as provider of the services under the CPA model as it has the control of the services at any time before it is transferred to the customers which is evidenced by 1) having a right to a service to be performed by the other party, which gives the Company the ability to direct that party to provide the service to the customers on the Company’s behalf. 2) having discretion in setting the price for the service 3) billing monthly advertising fee directly to customers by settling valid CPA data with customers. Therefore, the Company acts as the principal of these arrangements and reports revenue earned and costs incurred related to these transactions on a gross basis. The Company also provides advertisement services through influencers on social networks. The Company charges advertisers a fixed rate, which is generally a fixed percentage of total value of merchandise sold over a specific period (“GMV”). Revenue is recognized at a point of time when merchandise is sold through social network. The Company’s software development kit (“SDK”) service is a collection of software development tools in one installable package that enables customers (usually software developers) to add holographic functionality and run holographic advertisements in their APPs or software. SDK contracts are primarily on a fixed rate basis, or cost per SDK Connection. The Company recognizes SDK service revenue at a point in time when a user completes an SDK connection via a designated portal. Service fees are generally billed monthly based on per-connection basis. The Company also provides game
promotion services for game developers and licensed game operators. The Company acted as a marketing channel that it will promote the
games through in-house or third-party platforms, from which users can download the mobile and purchase virtual currency for in game premium
features to enhance their game playing experience. The Company contracts with third party payment platforms for collection services offered
to game players who have purchased virtual currency. The game developers, licensed operator, payment platforms and the marketing channels
are entitled to profit sharing based on a prescribed percentage of the gross amount charged to the game players. The Company’s
obligation in the promotion services is completed at a point in time when the game players made a payment to purchase virtual currency.
The Company considered itself an agent in these arrangements since it does not control the services at any time. Accordingly, the Company
records the game promotion service revenue on a net basis. Contract
balances Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the
timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable represent revenue recognized for the amounts invoiced and/or prior to invoicing
when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation and has unconditional right to the payment. Contract assets represent the Company’s
right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company has transferred to a customer. The Company has no Contract liabilities represent the billings or
cash received for services in advance of revenue recognition which is recognized as revenue when all the Company’s revenue recognition
criteria are met. The Company’s contract liabilities amounted to RMB 2,230,852 542,969 76,187 Cost of revenues For holographic solutions, the cost of revenue consists primarily of the costs of hardware products sold and outsourced content providers, third party software development costs, and compensation expenses for the Company’s professionals. For holographic technology service, the cost of revenue consists primarily of costs paid to channel distributors for advertising services and compensation expenses for the Company’s professionals. Cost allocation Cost allocation include
allocation of certain general and administrative and financial expenses paid by the Parent. General and administrative expenses
consist primarily of salary and related expenses of senior management and employees, shared management expenses, including
accounting, consulting, legal support services, and other expenses to provide operating support to the related businesses. These
allocations are made using a proportional cost allocation method by considering the proportion of revenues, headcounts as well as
estimates of time spent on the provision of services attributable to the Company and the related expenses resulted from the
acquisition of subsidiary. Research and development Research and development expenses include salaries and other compensation-related expenses to the Company’s research and product development personnel, outsourced subcontractors, as well as office rental, depreciation and related expenses for the Company’s research and product development team. Value added taxes (“VAT”) Revenue represents the invoiced value of service, net of VAT. The VAT is based on gross sales price and VAT rates range up to 13% in China, depending on the type of service provided or product sold. Entities that are VAT general taxpayers are allowed to offset qualified input VAT paid to suppliers against their output VAT liabilities. Net VAT balance between input VAT and output VAT is recorded in tax payable. All of the VAT returns filed by the Company’s subsidiaries in China, have been and remain subject to examination by the tax authorities for five years from the date of filing. Income taxes The Company accounts for current income taxes in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the fiscal year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred taxes is accounted for
using the asset and liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets
and liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable
tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized
to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax is calculated 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,
in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in 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 the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes
are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing 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. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.
No penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred.
PRC tax returns filed are subject to examination by any applicable tax authorities. Leases Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the practical expedients that does not require us to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. For lease terms of twelve months or fewer, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. The Company also adopted the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component. On January 1, 2022, the Company recognized approximately RMB 5.7 0.9 5.7 0.9 7 The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. US GAAP requires that the Company’s leases be evaluated and classified as operating or finance leases for financial reporting purposes. The classification evaluation begins at the commencement date and the lease term used in the evaluation includes the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain and failure to exercise such option which result in an economic penalty. All the Company’s real estate leases are classified as operating leases. When determining the lease payments for an operating lease transitioning to ASC 842 using the effective date, it’s based on future payments at the transition date, based on the present value of lease payments over the remaining lease term. Since the implicit rate for the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company use its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment and over a similar term. Lease terms used to calculate the present value of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as the Company does not have reasonable certainty |
