2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by US GAAP have been condensed or omitted. As such, the information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended March 31, 2023. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

ZOOMCAR, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies as those included in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for these interim periods.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities in which the Company is the primary beneficiary, including an entity in India and in other geographical locations. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements herein.

ii.

Principles of consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zoomcar, Inc. and of its wholly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities in which the Company is the primary beneficiary, including an entity in India and in other geographical locations (collectively, the “Company”).

The Company determines, at the inception of each arrangement, whether an entity in which it has made an investment or in which it has other variable interest is considered a VIE. The Company consolidates a VIE when it is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that meets both of the following criteria:

(i)

has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE; and

(ii)

has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Periodically, the Company determines whether any changes in its interest or relationship with the entity impact the determination of whether the entity is still a VIE and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary.

As at September 30, 2023, following are the list of subsidiaries and step-down subsidiaries:

Name of Entity	Place of Incorporation	Investor Entity
Zoomcar India Private Limited	India	Zoomcar, Inc.
Zoomcar Netherlands Holding B.V	Netherlands	Zoomcar, Inc.
Fleet Holding Pte ltd	Singapore	Zoomcar, Inc.
Fleet Mobility Philippines Corporation	Philippines	Zoomcar, Inc.
Zoomcar Egypt Car Rental LLC	Egypt	Zoomcar Netherlands Holding
PT Zoomcar Indonesia Mobility Service	Indonesia	Fleet Holding Pte ltd
Zoomcar Vietnam Mobility LLC	Vietnam	Fleet Holding Pte ltd

ZOOMCAR, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As at September 30, 2023, the subsidiaries and step-down subsidiaries of Zoomcar Inc. have been consolidated using the Variable Interest Entity (‘VIE’) model as per ASC 810. In determining whether the VIE model was applicable to the subsidiaries the criteria prescribed under ASC 810 were examined as below:

	-	The subsidiaries were incorporated as legal entities under the laws and regulations of the country in which they are incorporated.
	-	The scope exemptions under ASC 810 were not applicable to the entities
	-	Zoomcar Inc holds variable interest in all the subsidiaries by way of contribution towards equity and in the form of debt
	-	The entities are variable interest entities for Zoomcar Inc since the legal entities do not have sufficient equity investment at risk and equity investors at risk.

For the purpose of equity interests, the interests held by employees are also considered under ASC 810 since employees are considered as de-facto agents. Thus, Zoomcar Egypt Car Rental LLC, Fleet Mobility Philippines Corporation, and Zoomcar Vietnam Mobility LLC are considered as wholly owned subsidiaries of Zoomcar Inc.

Through the direct and indirect interest that Zoomcar Inc. holds in the subsidiaries, Zoomcar Inc. has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Accordingly, Zoomcar Inc. is the primary beneficiary with respect to all the subsidiaries and consolidates the subsidiaries under the VIE model except Zoomcar India Private Limited, Zoomcar Netherlands Holding B.V, Fleet Holding Pte Ltd and PT Zoomcar Indonesia Mobility Service which are consolidated as per the voting interest model.

On August 14, 2023, Zoomcar Vietnam Mobility LLC has voluntarily filed application for bankruptcy with the local authorities of Vietnam. In accordance with ASC 205-30, the liquidation of the VIE is imminent and thus the financial statements of VIE are prepared on a liquidation basis, which entails valuing assets at their estimated net realizable values and recording liabilities at their expected settlement amounts. Further, in accordance with ASC 810-10-15-10, the Company consolidate the VIE as the bankruptcy application is pending with the authorities in Vietnam and unless the application is admitted, the Company holds a variable interest and still is the primary beneficiary. Refer Note 28

The assets/liabilities consolidated for the VIE are not material.

iii.

Reclassification

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such changes include reclassifications or combinations of certain accounts on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

These reclassifications had no impact on total assets, total liabilities, net loss or comprehensive loss or accumulated deficit in the previously reported consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023.

iv.

Use of estimates and assumptions

The use of estimates and assumptions as determined by management is required in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with US GAAP. These estimates are based on management’s evaluation of historical trends and other information available when the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared and may affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

The significant estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to; are:

Estimation of defined benefit obligation

Estimation of useful lives and residual values of property, plant & equipment and intangible assets

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

Fair value measurement of share-based payments

Leases – assumption to determine the incremental borrowing rate

Valuation allowance on deferred tax assets

Estimation of utilisation of receivable from government authorities

Revenue recognition

The Company derives its revenue principally from short-term self-drive rentals.

Self-drive rentals

Zoomcar operates a fleet of rental vehicles comprising of both vehicles owned by them and vehicles leased from third-party leasing companies. The Company either leases or subleases vehicles to its customers as a result, the Company has considered itself to be the accounting lessor or sublessor, as applicable, in these arrangements in accordance with ASC 842.

ZOOMCAR, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Rental revenues are recognized for rental and rental related activities on a straight-line basis evenly over the period of where an identified asset is transferred to the customer and the customer has the ability to control that asset in accordance with ASC 842. Transaction price charged by the Company is as per agreed rates between the Company and the customer. In case of leased vehicles, the Company was solely responsible for paying vehicle lease costs to the lessor regardless of whether the vehicles were booked for use by guests on the platform and accordingly recognized vehicle lease revenue on a gross basis.

For vehicles that are subleased, sublease income and related lease expense for these transactions are recognized on a gross basis in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Rental periods are generally short-term in nature and are classified as operating leases.

Facilitation revenue (“Host services”)

The Company has launched a new platform “Zoomcar Host Services” during the year ended March 2022. Zoomcar Host Services is a marketplace feature of the platform that helps owners of vehicles (“Hosts/ Customer/Lessors”) connect with users (“Renters/Lessee”) in temporary need of a vehicle on leasehold basis for their personal use.

Facilitation Services revenue consists of facilitation fees charged to Hosts, net of incentives and refunds and trip protection charged to the Renters. The Company charges facilitation fees to its customers as a percentage of the value of the total booking, excluding taxes. The Company collects both the booking value on behalf of the Host and the trip protection charges from the renter. On a daily basis the Company, or its third-party payment processors, disburse the booking value to the host, less the fees due from the host to the Company. The amounts charged for trip fees for the Marketplace service vary based on factors such as the vehicle type, the day of the week, time of the trip, and the duration of the trip. Hence, the Company’s primary performance obligation in the transaction with respect to the Host is to facilitate the successful completion of the rental transaction and with respect to the renter is to offer trip protection

Customer support is rendered to both the Host (customer/lessor) and the renter (lessee). Company being the intermediary between the two provides its platform through which all communication takes place related to any services e.g., extension of trip period. Such services also include the normal customer support related to any vehicle breakdowns, tracking of vehicles, renter background checks, vehicle ownership checks and various other activities which are part of an ongoing set of series required for successful listing, renting and completion of trip. These activities are not distinct from each other and are not separate performance obligations. As a result, these series of services integrate together to form a single performance obligation.

In case of booking value collected from the renter on behalf of the Host, the Company evaluates the presentation of revenue on a gross versus net basis based on whether or not it is the principal(gross) or the agent (net) in the transaction. The Company considers whether it controls the right to use the vehicle before control is transferred to the renter. Indicators of control that the Company considers include whether the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise associated with the booking of the vehicle, whether it has inventory risk associated with the vehicle, and whether it has discretion in establishing the prices for the vehicles booked. The Company determined that it does not establish pricing for vehicles listed on its platform and does not control the right to use the host’s vehicle at any time before, during, or after completion of a trip booked on the Company’s platform. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that it is acting in an agent capacity, and revenue is presented net reflecting the facilitation fees received from the Marketplace service. The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity’s performance as the entity performs. Revenue is recognised rateably over the trip period. The Company recognizes facilitation revenue from these performance obligations on a straight-line basis over the duration of the rental trip using the output method as its performance obligation is satisfied over time. The Company uses the output method based on rental hours or days, where revenue is calculated based on the percentage of total time elapsed in relation to total estimated rental period.

The Company offers various incentive programs to hosts, including minimum guaranteed listing fees and vehicle listing bonus payments. The incentives are recorded in accordance with ASC 606-10-32-25 and ASC 606-10-32-27 as a reduction to revenue and in cases where the amount of incentive paid to the Host are above the facilitation fees earned from that Host on cumulative basis the excess of the revenue amount are recorded as a marketing expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. These incentives are offered as part of overall marketing strategy of the company and incentivize the hosts to refer the platform.

Loyalty program

The Company offers loyalty program, Z-Points, wherein customers are eligible to earn loyalty points that are redeemable for payment towards facilitation fees, self-drive rentals and vehicle subscriptions. Under ASC 606 and ASC 842, each transaction that generates loyalty points results in the deferral of revenue equivalent to the retail value at the date the points are earned. The associated revenue or rental is recognized when the customer redeems the loyalty points at some time in future. The retail value of points is estimated based on the current retail value measured as of the date the loyalty points are earned, less an estimated amount representing loyalty points that are not expected to be redeemed (“breakage”). Breakage is reviewed on an annual basis and includes significant assumptions such as historical breakage trends, internal Company forecasts and extended redemption period, if any. As at September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company's deferred revenue balance amounted to $92,856 and $260,705 respectively.

Others

The Company has elected to exclude from revenue, taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and are concurrent with specific revenue producing transactions and collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities. Accordingly, such amounts are not included as a component of revenue or cost of revenue.

Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities primarily consists of obligations to customers for advance received against a new booking, revenue-share payable to customers for vehicles listed by them on Company’s portal for short-term rentals and related to Company’s points-based loyalty program.

Receivables from government authorities

Receivables from government authorities represent amounts owed to the Company by government agencies which are recognized when the Company has performed the required services and when they meet the eligibility criteria outlined in the applicable government regulations.

Receivables from government authorities are classified based on their expected period of utilization. If the receivables are expected to be utilized within twelve months from the reporting date, they are classified as current assets. If the receivables are not expected to be utilized within twelve months from the reporting date, they are classified as non-current assets.

vii.

Assets held for sale

The Company classifies vehicles to be disposed of as held for sale in the period in which they are available for immediate sale in their present condition and the sale is probable and expected to be completed within one year. The Company initially measures assets held for sale at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and assesses their fair value annually until disposed. The fair value of Assets held for sale not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an asset are observable, the Valuation is included in Level 2.

The Company has a policy of disposing vehicles once it has crossed 120,000 kilometres in order to ensure that customer experience is maintained at a premium level. In addition, the Company also disposes vehicles early if it has met with accident and is no more fit for use in the business once the insurance claims are realized on these vehicles.

In case of certain vehicles which are not sold within one year from date of classification, the Company reassess the carrying value of the assets to compare it with the realisable value.

viii.

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the fair value recognition and measurement provisions of US GAAP, which requires compensation cost for grant-date fair value of stock-based awards to be recognized over the requisite service period. The Company includes a forfeiture estimate in the amount of compensation expense being recognized based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. The fair value of stock-based awards, granted or modified, is determined on the grant date at fair value, using appropriate valuation techniques.

The Company records stock-based compensation expense for service-backed stock options over the requisite service period, which ranges from 6 months to 4 years.

For stock options with service-based vesting conditions only, the valuation model, typically the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, incorporates various assumptions including expected stock price volatility, expected term, and risk-free rates. Stock options with graded vesting the fair-value-based measure is estimated of the entire award by using a single weighted-average expected term. The Company estimates the volatility of common stock on the date of the grant based on weighted-average historical stock price volatility of comparable publicly traded companies in its industry group. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with a term equal to the expected term. The Company estimates the term based on the simplified method for employee stock options considered to be “plain vanilla” options as the Company’s historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. The expected dividend yield is 0.0% as the Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying dividend on its common stock.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company estimates a forfeiture rate on an annual basis for the purpose of computation of stock-based compensation expense. The rate is used consistently across the subsequent interim periods during the year.

ix.

Warrants

When the Company issues warrants, it evaluates the proper balance sheet classification of the warrant to determine whether the warrant should be classified as equity or as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in the Entity’s Own Equity (ASC 815-40), the Company classifies a warrant as equity so long as it is “indexed to the Company’s equity” and several specific conditions for equity classification are met. A warrant is not considered indexed to the Company’s equity, in general, when it contains certain types of exercise contingencies or adjustments to exercise price. If a warrant is not indexed to the Company’s equity or it has net cash settlement that results in the warrants to be accounted for under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, or ASC 815-40, it is classified as a derivative liability which is carried on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value with any changes in its fair value recognized currently in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

During the year, the Company has issued warrants along with Notes as defined in “Convertible Promissory notes and Senior Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note (SSCPN)” policy and also as consideration to placement agents for the issuance of SSCPN which are classified as derivative instruments.

The Company also has preferred stocks and common stocks warrants (as described below) issued during the year ended March 31, 2022 and are classified as liabilities and equity respectively.

Each unit of Series E preferred stock issued by the Company consists of one Series E preferred stock and a warrant which entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock of the Company on the satisfaction of certain conditions. Warrants are also issued to placement agencies of Series E and Series E1. Warrants issued to placement agencies include the following two categories: a) warrants to purchase common stock of the company; and b) warrants to purchase Series E and Series E1 shares.

Warrants to be converted into common stock:

The Company’s warrants to purchase common stock are classified as equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Upon issuance of the warrant, the Company allocated a portion of the proceeds from the sale of its preferred stock to the warrant based on the relative fair values of warrants and preferred stock.

ZOOMCAR, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Warrants to be converted into preferred stock:

The warrant liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of finance costs. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrants.

Warrants issued along with SSCPN:

The warrants issued along with the SSCPN satisfy the definition of a derivative in accordance with ASC 815-10-15-83 since it contains an underlying, has payment provisions, can be net settled and has a very minimal initial net investment. Accordingly, the derivatives are measured at fair value and subsequently revalued at each reporting date.

Financial liabilities measured at fair value

Convertible Promissory notes and Senior Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note (SSCPN)

On April 1, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06 that simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 (i) reduced the number of accounting models for convertible instruments, by eliminating the models that require separation of cash conversion or beneficial conversion features from the host and (ii) revised the derivative scope exception and (iii) provided targeted improvements for Earnings Per Share (“EPS”). The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s outstanding convertible debt instruments as of April 1, 2022.

The Company has issued convertible promissory notes and senior subordinated convertible promissory notes (“Notes”), it evaluates the balance sheet classification to determine whether the instrument should be classified either as debt or equity, and whether the conversion feature should be accounted for separately from the host instrument. According to ASC 480-10-25-14, the notes are classified as liabilities because the Company intends to settle them by issuing variable number of shares with a fixed and known monetary value at the time of inception. The Company evaluates the conversion feature of notes would be separated from the instrument and classified as a derivative liability if the conversion feature, were it a standalone instrument, meets the definition of an “embedded derivative” in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. However, the Company has elected fair value option for all notes, as discussed below and thus does not bifurcate the embedded conversion feature.

Fair Value Option (“FVO”) Election

The Company accounts for Convertible Promissory notes and Senior Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note and convertible promissory notes issued under the fair value option election of ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC-825”) as discussed below.

ZOOMCAR, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The convertible promissory notes accounted for under the FVO election are a debt host financial instruments containing conversion features which would otherwise be required to be assessed for bifurcation from the debt-host and recognized as separate derivative liabilities subject to measurements under ASC 815. Notwithstanding, ASC 825-10-15-4 provides for the “fair value option” (“FVO”) election, to the extent not otherwise prohibited by ASC 825-10-15- 5, to be afforded to financial instruments, wherein bifurcation of an embedded derivative is not necessary, and the financial instrument is initially measured at its issue-date estimated fair value and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date.

The estimated fair value adjustment, as required by ASC 825-10-45-5, is recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) with respect to the portion of the fair value adjustment attributed to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk, with the remaining amount of the fair value adjustment recognized under Finance costs shown as “Change in fair value of convertible promissory note” and “Change in fair value of senior subordinated convertible promissory note” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. With respect to the above convertible promissory notes, as provided for by ASC 825-10-50-30(b), the estimated fair value adjustment is presented as a separate line item in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations, since the change in fair value of the convertible promissory notes payable was not attributable to instrument specific credit risk.

	The instrument issued by the company was priced at a significant discount, considering the current market dynamics and the unique circumstances surrounding the investors entering before the deSPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) is completed. The decision to offer the instrument at a discount was driven by the board's objective to de-risk the business and secure capital ahead of the deSPAC process. This approach ensures that the Company can continue executing its planned strategies, considering the potential impact of factors beyond our direct control on the SPAC timeline. By raising this capital, we aim to safeguard our ability to meet operational goals and maintain business continuity throughout the deSPAC process.

19 (b)

Redeemable non-controlling interests

Series P1 and P2 Preferred stock represents the minority preferred stockholders ownership in the Indian subsidiary of the Company which is classified as a redeemable non-controlling interest, because it is redeemable on a deemed liquidation event that is outside of its control. The redeemable non-controlling interest is not accreted to redemption value because it is currently not probable that the non-controlling interest will become redeemable.

There has been no further issue of preferred stock in Indian subsidiary and the term and conditions have remained unchanged since the year ended March 31, 2023.

The Company do not attribute the pro rata share of the Indian subsidiary’s loss to the redeemable non-controlling interests because these shares are entitled to a liquidation preference and therefore do not participate in losses that would cause their interest to be below the liquidation preference. Upon liquidation, these preferred stocks are entitled to the greater of either (i) the Original issue price for such series plus any dividend declared but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of such series been converted into common stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or deemed liquidation event.

Unvested options		7.99		9.01

The expected life of the stock is based on historical data and current expectations and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome.

The compensation cost of unvested awards not yet recognized as of September 30, 2023, is $1,265,828 (September 30, 2022 : $4,350,327). The weighted average period over which stock-based compensation expenses of non-vested awards not yet recognized is expected to be recognized is 0.96 years (September 30, 2022 : 1.42 years).

28	Variable Interest Entities

An entity is a VIE if it has any of the following characteristics :

	·	The entity does not have enough equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support.
	·	The equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest.
	·	The entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights (i.e., an anti-abuse clause).

We consolidate VIEs in which Company hold a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary. Company is the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE and the right to receive benefits from the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE (benefits). As a result, we consolidate the assets and liabilities of these consolidated VIEs.

The VIEs have been incorporated in their respective locations to perform the business of providing mobility solutions to consumers and businesses.

The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities related to the Company’s consolidated VIEs:

	September 30, 2023		March 31, 2023
Assets
Cash and Cash equivalents	$	36,972	$	50,498

Total investment in the VIEs is as follows:

Name of the VIE entity	Place of incorporation	Nature of investment	Investor entity
Zoomcar Egypt Car Rental LLC	Egypt	Debt	Zoomcar Netherlands Holding B.V
Zoomcar Egypt Car Rental LLC	Egypt	Debt	Zoomcar Inc.
Fleet Mobility Philippines Corporation *	Philippines	Debt	Zoomcar Inc.

Zoomcar Vietnam Mobility LLC**	Vietnam	Debt	Fleet Holding Pte Ltd
Zoomcar Vietnam Mobility LLC**	Vietnam	Debt	Zoomcar Inc.
Zoomcar Vietnam Mobility LLC**	Vietnam	Equity	Fleet Holding Pte Ltd

These amounts have been eliminated during the process of consolidation

* In May 2022, Company had initiated the process of winding-up for Fleet Mobility Philippines Corporation. The assets consolidated for the VIE are not material.

** In August 2023, Zoomcar Vietnam Mobility LLC has filed for bankruptcy with the local authorities. In accordance with ASC 810-10-15-10, the Company consolidate the VIE as the bankruptcy application is pending with the authorities in Vietnam and unless the application is admitted, the Company holds a variable interest and still is the primary beneficiary. The assets/liabilities consolidated for the VIE are not material.

***As of March 31, 2022, Fleet Holding Pte Ltd. was consolidated under VIE model as it did not have enough equity to finance its activities to operate the business. During the year ended March 31, 2023, Fleet Holding Pte Ltd. has made equity investment in PT Zoomcar Indonesia Mobility Service, and as a result, the entity has sufficient equity at risk to operate the business. Therefore, PT Zoomcar Indonesia Mobility Service has been consolidated as a voting interest entity as at March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023.

The VIEs included in condensed consolidated financial statements are separate legal entities and their assets are legally owned by them and are not available to the Company's creditors or creditors of Company's other subsidiaries.

Nature of, and changes (if any) in, the risks associated with a reporting entity's involvement with the VIE

In case of all the entities, the reporting entity is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk of the subsidiaries since the subsidiaries are incorporated in countries other than the country in which the reporting entity has been incorporated.

Further, Zoomcar Netherlands Holding B.V has advanced loan to Zoomcar Egypt Car Rental LLC. Accordingly, Zoomcar Netherlands Holding B.V is exposed to the credit risk of Zoomcar Egypt Car Rental LLC.

Financial Instruments - Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ("ASC 820") defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability as against assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including the Company’s own credit risk.

The carrying value of financial instruments not carried at fair value by categories are as below:

As at	September 30, 2023		March 31, 2023
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents	$	4,011,126	$	3,853,281
Accounts receivable		217,345		255,175

Other financial liabilities		1,093,720		1,349,393
Total liabilities		12,323,824		13,407,319

The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Derivative financial instrument		14,373,856		-		-		14,373,856

Level 2: The fair value of Assets held for sale not traded in an active market is determined using the quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs other than the quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly considering all the relevant factors of assets.

The Company’s recurring Level 3 financial instruments within the Company’s fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 consist of Company’s convertible promissory note, senior subordinated convertible promissory note, preferred stock warrant liability and derivative financial instrument.

The fair value of the warrant liability is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model as the series and number of shares issued upon exercise is contingent upon the outcome of multiple discrete scenarios. The fair value of the underlying shares used within the Monte Carlo simulation model was estimated using an option pricing model to estimate the allocation of value to the various classes of securities of the Company. The significant unobservable inputs into the valuation model include the expected warrant term, the fully-diluted stock value, and volatility. A significant increase (decrease) in any of the unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a material increase (decrease) in the Company’s estimate of fair value of the derivative financial instrument.

Warrant

The Company used the following assumptions for preferred stock warrant liability and derivative financial instrument in the model:

	September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022
Remaining term (years)		5.12		5.42
Volatility¹		52%		55%
Risk-free rate²		4.60%		4.10%
Estimated exercise price		$0.15 - 5.2		$2.5-3.5
Calculated fair value per share		$0.15 - 11.3		$2.47

1. Expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of a peer group of publicly traded companies.

2. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the warrant is based on U.S. Treasury constant maturities yield at measurement date.

Convertible promissory notes

The Company measures its notes and SSCPN at fair value based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which caused them to be classified as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the fair value of the convertible promissory notes and securities related to updated assumptions and estimates were recognized as change in fair value of convertible promissory note within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of senior subordinated convertible promissory note and securities related to updated assumptions and estimates were recognized as change in fair value of senior subordinated convertible promissory note within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company used the following assumptions for the six months ended September 30, 2023 in the model for valuation of:

	Convertible promissory note			Senior subordinated convertible promissory note
Remaining term (years)		0.25			0.11
Volatility¹		30	%		30	%
Risk-free rate²		5.40	%		5.40	%
Estimated conversion price	$	10		$	5.2
Calculated fair value per share	$	11.3		$	11.3

The changes in the fair value are summarized below:

1. Expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of a peer group of publicly traded companies.

2. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the warrant is based on U.S. Treasury constant maturities yield at measurement date.

	Preferred stock warrant liability			Convertible promissory note		Senior subordinated convertible promissory note		Derivative financial instrument

Balance as of September 30, 2023		770,446			11,940,183		47,258,369		24,410,231

During the six months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2023, there were no non-recurring fair value measure of assets or liabilities subsequent to initial recognition.

Derivative financial instrument

The warrants were issued to de-risk the business and secure capital ahead of the deSPAC process. This approach ensures that the Company can continue executing its planned strategies, considering the potential impact of factors beyond its direct control on the completion of deSPAC process.

The warrants are subject to equity price risk since the underlying for the instrument is the Company's common stock price.

The fair value of derivative liabilities as on September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 are as follows:

	September 30, 2023			March 31, 2023
As at	Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value		Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815-20

Warrants issued against SSCPN	Derivative financial instrument	$	20,341,859	Derivative financial instrument	$	11,978,213
Warrants issued to Placement agent			4,068,372			2,395,643
Total		$	24,410,231		$	14,373,856

The changes in fair value of warrants are being recognized under ‘Change in fair value of derivative financial instrument’ within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. See Note 29, Fair value measurements. The Company classifies cash flows related to derivative liabilities as financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Commitments and contingencies

Contingencies

(A) Claims filed against the Company by customers and third-parties not acknowledged as liability amounted to $4,854,413 and $4,639,473 as at September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. These claims have been made for personal injuries (customer and/or third parties) and amounts charged to customers by the Company as damages for improper use of vehicles and/or physical damages made to vehicles during an active trip. The Company has procured third-party insurance policies for fleet under its management which indemnifies against personal death and/or injuries suffered either by the customer or third-parties during the use of its vehicles. Based on the insurance coverage, the Company is confident that liability, if any, arising from these claims will be covered by the insurance. While uncertainties are inherent in the final outcome of these matters, the Company believes, that the disposition of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(B) The Company has received various orders from time to time from Indian indirect tax authorities.

The Company has received an order disallowing input credit taken on certain vehicles purchased for the period from July 2017 to July 2019 amounting to $435,525 (March 31, 2023: $440,703).

The Company received a show cause notice for service tax liability on booking fees and penalty charges collected for the period October 2014 to July 2017 amounting to $4,451,824 (March 31, 2023: $4,504,751).

The Company has filed an appeal against the above orders before higher authority.

The Company has received demand notice for $34,224 from Indian indirect tax authorities for the period April 2017 to September 2017 due to disallowance input tax credit.

The Company has received show cause notice from Indian indirect tax authorities disputing the goods and service tax input availed and the rate of input availed amounting to $445,185 (March 31, 2023: $450,477).

The Company has filed submissions and is awaiting further communication on the matter.

Based on the submissions provided to the authorities and documents available no outflow is expected. Hence the Company has not created any provision as at September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 for the above matters.

(C) As at September 30, 2023, there are 5,928 bookings in progress. The Company bears the risk of loss or damage to the host vehicle with respect to such bookings. The Company makes certain assumptions based on currently available information to estimate the trip protection reserves. A number of factors can affect the actual cost of a claim, including the length of time the claim remains open and the results of any related litigation. Furthermore, claims may emerge in future years for events that occurred in a prior year at a rate that differs from previous projections. Trip protection reserves are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary as experience develops or new information becomes known. However, ultimate results may differ materially from the Company’s estimates, which could result in losses over the Company’s reserved amounts. The Company has determined the trip protection reserves for such risk of loss to be immaterial for the purpose of this condensed consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent events

(A) In November 2023, the Company has paid the overdue EMI payment for August 2023 to Leaseplan India Private Limited. However, as of the December 13, 2023, the EMI for September 2023 remains outstanding.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure from the balance sheets date through December 13, 2023, the date at which the Condensed Consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
