CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Report contains forward-looking statements about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements contained in this Report other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans, projected costs and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “should,” “shall,” “intend,” “goal,” “objective,” “seek,” “expect,” and similar expressions or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans, or intentions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including but not limited to:
| ● | We have a limited operating history on which to judge our performance and assess our prospects for future success. |
| ● | We rely on independent dealers and distributors to manage the retail distribution of many of our products. |
| ● | We rely on third parties to manufacture many of the products we sell. |
| ● | The majority of the products we purchase are manufactured by suppliers in China and their operations are subject to risks associated with business operations in China. Any disruption of these manufacturers to supply us with appropriately priced products on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on our business. |
| ● | Our management team has limited experience operating a company with publicly traded shares. |
| ● | Economic conditions that impact consumer spending may have a material adverse effect on our business, and our partners’ business. |
| ● | Rising U.S.-China trade tensions and tariffs may increase our costs and disrupt our supply chain. |
| ● | We currently maintain all our cash and cash equivalents with three financial institutions. |
| ● | We face intense competition in all product lines, including from some competitors that have greater financial and marketing resources. |
| ● | Any decline in the social acceptability of our products or any increased restrictions on the access or the use of the Company’s products in certain locations could materially and adversely affect our business, operation results, or financial condition. |
| ● | Our future expansion plans are subject to uncertainties and risks, and distribution centers we intend to open may not result in increased sales or efficiencies. |
| ● | Our limited investment in R&D of new products may adversely affect our ability to enhance existing products and develop and market new products. |
| ● | The inability of our dealers and distributors to secure adequate access to capital could materially and adversely affect our business. |
| ● | We depend upon the successful management of inventory levels, both ours and that of our dealers |
| ● | There is no assurance there will not be disruptions to trade between China and the United States. |
| ● | We may not be able to successfully maintain our business strategy that relies upon offshore manufacturers. |
| ● | Supply chain problems, termination or interruption of supply arrangements or increases in the cost of products could have a material adverse effect on our business. |
| ● | The high cost of delivering our Pontoon Boats may limit the geographic market for these products. |
| ● | Higher fuel costs can materially and adversely affect our business. |
| ● | Changes in the credit markets could decrease the ability of consumers to purchase our products and have a material adverse effect on our business. |
| ● | We may require additional capital which may not be available. |

| ● | Our business depends on the efforts of our management, and our business may be severely disrupted if we lose their services. |
| ● | If we fail to develop and protect our brand names and reputation, we may not attract and retain new distributors and dealers, or customers. |
| ● | We may be unable to protect our intellectual property or may incur substantial costs as a result of litigation or other proceedings relating to our intellectual property. |
| ● | Significant product repair and/or replacement due to product warranty claims or product recalls could have a material adverse impact on our business. |
| ii |
| ● | The failure of our IT systems or a security breach involving consumer or employee personal data could have a materially adverse effect on our business. |
| ● | Retail sales of our new products may be materially and adversely affected by declining prices for used versions of our products or by competitors supplying new products in excess of market demand. |
| ● | We are subject to laws, rules and regulations regarding product safety, health, environmental and noise pollution, and other issues. |
| ● | If product liability lawsuits are filed against us, we may be exposed to significant financial liabilities. |
| ● | Our insurance may not be sufficient. |
| ● | We have been in the past, and may be, in the future subject to litigations arising from defective products that resulted in property damage, physical injury, and death. |
| ● | Our business requires us to pay licensing fees for each state that we operate in. We may not be able to justify the cost of compliance in a particular state or locality thus necessitating that we allow our license to expire. |
| ● | We have not made use of confidentiality agreements in the past and, although we intend to rely on such agreements in future dealings with suppliers, employees, consultants, and other parties, the prior lack of or the breach of such agreements could adversely affect our business and results of operations. |
| ● | Our business could be materially harmed by epidemics, pandemics, or other public health emergencies, boycotts, and geo-political events. |
| ● | Our ability, or lack thereof, to attract, recruit, and maintain talented sales representatives may adversely affect our business and our plans to expand our market. |

| ● | We have no current plans to pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. |
| ● | Our founder and principal shareholder have substantial influence over our Company. |
| ● | We will incur significant increased costs as a result of operating as a public company and will be required to devote substantial time to compliance initiatives. |
| ● | Changes to estimates related to our property, fixtures and equipment or operating results that are lower than our current estimates may cause us to incur impairment charges on certain long-lived assets, which may adversely affect our results of operations. |
| ● | As an “emerging growth company” under applicable law, we are subject to lessened disclosure requirements, which could leave our stockholders with less information or fewer rights available to stockholders of more mature companies. |
| ● | If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business, or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our common stock adversely, the price of our common stock and trading volume could decline. |
| ● | Anti-takeover provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and Nevada law could discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of our company and may affect the trading price of our common stock. |
| ● | Failure to establish and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price. |
| ● | Our Bylaws provide that the Second Judicial District Court of Washoe County of the State of Nevada is the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters. |
| ● | Other risks and uncertainties described in this Report, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section. |
Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Report or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
We qualify all of the forward-looking statements in this Report by these cautionary statements.

Massimo Group (the “Company”),
is a holding company established on October 10, 2022 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company, through its subsidiaries, is
primarily engaged in the manufacturing and sales of a wide selection of farm and ranch tested utility terrain vehicles (“UTVs”),
recreational all-terrain vehicles (“ATVs”), and pontoon and tritoon boats (“Pontoon Boats”). On April 4, 2024,
the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of shares of its common stock at an IPO price of $ per
share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $
Reorganization
On June 1, 2023, the two shareholders

ultimately owns
Before and after the Reorganization, the Company, together with its subsidiaries, is effectively controlled by the same controlling shareholders, and therefore the Reorganization is considered as a recapitalization of entities under common control in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50-25. The consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries have been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 805-50-45-5.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of Massimo Group and its wholly owned subsidiaries, have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Uses of estimates and assumptions
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant accounting estimates required to be made by management include allowance for inventories, allowance for credit losses, sales return liabilities, warranty costs and the assessment and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and its estimates on historical experience, current and expected future conditions and various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances based on the information available to management at the time these estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results and outcomes may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist
of cash on hand, the balances with banks and the liquid investments with maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains all
its bank accounts in the United States, maximum amounts of $
Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable represents trade receivable and are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently adjusted for any allowance for expected credit loss. The Company grants credit to customers, without collateral, under normal payment terms. The Company uses a loss rate method to estimate the allowance for credit losses. The Company evaluates the expected credit loss of accounts receivable based on customer financial condition and historical collection information adjusted for current market economic conditions and forecasts of future economic performance when appropriate. Loss-rate approach is based on the historical loss rates and expectations of future conditions. The Company writes off potentially uncollectible accounts receivable against the allowance for credit losses if it is determined that the amounts will not be collected.

Inventories, net
Inventories are stated at the
lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first out (FIFO) method. Costs include the cost of raw materials, freight and
duty. Any excess of the cost over the net realizable value of each item of inventories is recognized as a provision for diminution in
the value of inventories. Net realizable value is estimated using selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to complete
and sell products. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had inventory provision of $
Advance to suppliers
Advance to suppliers consists of balances paid to suppliers for purchasing products, parts and accessories that have not been provided or received. Advances to suppliers are short-term in nature and are reviewed periodically to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company evaluated the carrying value of individual advances based on specifics facts and circumstances for any impairment at each reporting date. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded the impairment loss of and respectively.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to amortize the cost of the related assets over their useful lives using the straight-line method, as follows:
| Useful life | ||
| Furniture and fixtures | ||
| Machinery equipment | ||
| Electronic equipment | ||
| Transportation equipment | ||
| Leasehold improvement | ( |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gains or losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are recognized within “other income (expense)” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Leases
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842) since January 1, 2020, using a modified retrospective transition method permitted under ASU No. 2018-11. This transition approach provides a method for recording existing leases only at the date of adoption and does not require previously reported balances to be adjusted. The Company evaluates the contracts it enters into to determine whether such contracts contain leases. A contract contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At commencement, contracts containing a lease are further evaluated for classification as an operating or finance lease where the Company is a lessee.
Operating Leases
For operating leases, the Company measures its lease liabilities based on the present value of the total lease payments not yet paid discounted based on the more readily determinable of the rate implicit in the lease or its incremental borrowing rate, which is the estimated rate the Company would be required to pay for a collateralized borrowing equal to the total lease payments over the term of the lease. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company measures right-of-use (“ROU”) assets based on the corresponding lease liability adjusted for payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, and initial direct costs it incurs under the lease. The Company begins recognizing lease expense when the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the Company.
Lease cost for operating leases includes the amortization of the ROU asset and interest expense related to the operating lease liability. For leases with lease term less than one year (short-term leases), the Company records operating lease expense in its condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term and record variable lease payments as incurred.
Finance Leases
Lease cost for finance leases where the Company is the lessee includes the amortization of the ROU asset, which is amortized on a straight-line basis and recorded to “Depreciation of right-of-use finance asset” and interest expense on the finance lease liability, which is calculated using the interest method and recorded to “Interest expense, net.” Finance lease ROU assets are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the terms of the respective leases, including periods covered by renewal options that the Company is reasonably certain of exercising.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, primarily consisting
of property and equipment, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change
to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable or
that the useful life is shorter than the Company had originally estimated. When these events occur, the Company evaluates the impairment
by comparing the carrying value of the assets to an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of
the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of
the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value of the assets over the fair value of the
assets.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fair value of financial instruments
ASC 825-10 requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
| ● | 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, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. |
| ● | Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable. |
Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, other receivable included in other current assets, loan from a related party, accounts payable, other payable, accrued expense and other liabilities, contract liabilities, approximates their recorded values due to their short-term maturities. The Company determined that the carrying value of the lease liabilities approximated their fair value as the interest rates used to discount the contracts approximate market rates. The Company noted no transfers between levels during any of the periods presented. The Company did not have any instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring nor non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Revenue recognition
The Company adopted ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, the Company applies the following steps:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
The Company’s revenue is generated primarily by sales of UTVs, ATVs, electric bikes (“e-bikes”), and Pontoon Boats. Revenue represented the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for promised goods. Revenue is recorded when performance obligations are considered to be satisfied when control is transferred to our customers. For sales made through our e-commerce platform, revenue is recorded upon delivery and customer acceptance. For direct sales and consignment sales, revenue is recognized when goods leave the warehouse and when customers pick up goods in stores, respectively.

from end customers, which varies and depends on different products and sales channels. The estimated sales returns are determined based upon
an analysis of historical sales returns. Return allowances are recorded as a reduction in sales with corresponding sales return liabilities
which are included in “accrued return liabilities.” The estimated cost of returned inventory is recorded as a reduction to
cost of sales and an increase of right of return assets which is included in “inventories.” The factors affecting the Company’s
sales return liabilities include the number of products currently within the return period, historical and anticipated rates of sales
returns claimed on those products, and the estimated amount of returns that may be claimed within this period. If actual results differ
from the estimates, the Company revises its estimated sales returns liability accordingly. At each period end, the Company reviews and reassesses
the adequacy of its recorded sales returns liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024,
$
Products warranty
The Company generally provides a one-year limited
warranty against defects in materials related to the sale of products. The Company considers the warranty as an assurance type warranty
since the warranty provides the customers the assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specifications. Estimated future warranty
obligations are included in the cost of product sales in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. The factors affecting the
Company’s warranty include the number of products currently under warranty, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claim on
those products, and the estimates of repair and replacement costs to satisfy the Company’s warranty obligation. The anticipated
rate of warranty claims is the primary estimate used in determining the warranty liability and is relatively predictable using historical
experience of failure rates. The average remaining aggregate warranty period of the products sold is calculated, repair parts are generally
already in stock or available at pre-determined prices, and labor rates are generally arranged at pre-established amount with service
providers. If actual results differ from the estimates, the Company revises its estimated warranty liability. Each quarter, the Company
reevaluates its estimates and assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. As of March
31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $
Contract liabilities
The contract liabilities of the Company are primarily
related to advances received from customers. The contract liabilities are reported in a net position on a customer-by-customer basis at
the end of each reporting period. Contract liabilities are recognized when the Company receives prepayment from customers resulting from
purchase order. Contract liabilities will be recognized as revenue when the products are delivered. As of March 31, 2025 and December
31, 2024, the Company recorded contract liabilities of $
Disaggregation of revenues
The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts by products, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Income taxes (continued)
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic No. 740, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.
Significant judgment is also required in evaluating the Company’s uncertain income tax positions and provisions for income taxes. Liabilities for uncertain income tax positions are recognized based on a two-step approach. The first step is to evaluate whether an income tax position has met the recognition threshold by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The second step is to measure the income tax position that has met the recognition threshold as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company continually assesses the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjusts the income tax provisions, income taxes payable and deferred income taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a revision become known. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions as interest expense.
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”), options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, a total of and unvested RSU were included in the computation of weighted average number of common shares for the calculation of diluted EPS.
Stock-based compensation
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 260”), which establishes the accounting for employee share-based awards. For employee share-based awards, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
Segment reporting
The Company follows ASC 280, “Segment Reporting.” The Company’s Chief Executive Officer or chief operating decision-maker reviews the condensed consolidated financial results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Company based on the product type. As a result, the Company has identified two reportable segments, which reflect the way the business is managed and operated. The Company operates and manages its business as two segments. As the Company’s long-lived assets are all located in the United States and substantially all the Company’s revenues are derived from within the United States, no geographical segments are presented.

Concentration and risks
a. Concentration of credit risk
Assets that potentially subject
the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other
receivable included in other current assets. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amounts at the balance
sheet dates. The Company maintains all the bank accounts at financial institutions in the United States, where there is $
To limit the exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Company primarily places cash deposits with large financial institutions in the United States. The Company conducts credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral or other security from them. The Company establishes an accounting policy to provide for current expected credit losses based on the individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions.
b. Foreign Exchange Risk
Most of our raw materials are imported from China. The value of the Chinese Yuan against the U.S. dollar is affected by the changes in China and United States economic conditions. We do not believe that we currently have any significant direct foreign exchange risk as most of our sales agreements are specified in U.S. dollars and have not used any derivative financial instruments to hedge exposure to such risk.
c. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest rates from our lessors and our borrowings with banks. The related party loan bears no interest. Our leasing obligations’ interest rates are fixed at the commencement date of the leases. We have not been exposed to material risks due to the fact that our borrowing from the bank is not significant. And we have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest risk exposure. However, we cannot provide assurance that we will not be exposed to material risks due to changes in market interest rate in the future.
d. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises through the excess of financial obligations over available financial assets due at any point in time. Our objective in mitigating liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient readily available reserves in order to meet our liquidity requirements at any point in time. We achieve this by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available banking facilities.

Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act provides that an emerging growth company (“EGC”) as defined therein can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an EGC to delay adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has adopted the extended transition period.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income tax paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. This ASU will likely result in the required additional disclosures being included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, once adopted.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion, within relevant income statement captions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine the impact of adoption on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and comprehensive income and statements of cash flows.

Overview of Company
Massimo is a holding company established on October 10, 2022 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company, through its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in the manufacturing and sales of a wide selection of farm and ranch tested UTVs, recreational ATVs, and Pontoon Boats. Mr. David Shan, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, is the controlling shareholder (the “Controlling Shareholder”) of the Company.
A Reorganization of the legal structure was completed on June 1, 2023. The Controlling Shareholder transferred his 85% equity interest in Massimo Motor and 85% equity interest in Massimo Marine to Massimo. Together with 15% non-controlling interests, after the reorganization, Massimo ultimately owns 100% equity interests of Massimo Motor and Massimo Marine.
Before and after the Reorganization, the Company, together with its subsidiaries, is effectively controlled by the same Controlling Shareholder, and therefore, the Reorganization is considered as a recapitalization of entities under common control in accordance with ASC 805-50-25. The consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries have been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 805-50-45-5.
We currently generate most of our revenues from the sales of UTVs and ATVs, which represented 96.8% and 95.2% of total revenue for the period ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively
We also generate revenue from the sales of Pontoon Boats, which represented 3.2% and 4.8% of our revenue for the period ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Trends and Key Factors that Affect Operating Results
We believe the most significant factors that affect our business and results of operations include the following:
| ● | Risk of intense competition in the industry - The Powersports Vehicles and Boat Industry is highly competitive. Competition in such markets is based upon a number of factors, including price, quality, reliability, styling, product features and warranties. At the dealer level, competition is based on a number of factors including sales and marketing support programs (such as financing joint advertising programs and cooperative advertising). Certain competitors are more diversified and have financial and marketing resources which are substantially greater than ours, which allow these competitors to invest more heavily in intellectual property, product development, and sales and marketing support. If we are not able to compete with new products, customer services, product features or models comparable or superior to those of our competitors, or attract new dealers, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. |
| We are subject to competitive pricing. Such pricing pressure may limit our ability to maintain prices or to increase prices for our products in response to raw material, component and other cost increases and so negatively affect our profit margins. |
| 1 |
| ● | Risk of economic and policy changes within China - We import our products from various Chinese suppliers. The Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry within China by imposing industrial policies, providing subsidies and heavily regulating or prohibiting unwanted activities. There is no assurance the Chinese government will not interfere with the operations of Linhai Powersports or any of our other suppliers. In addition, the Chinese government has implemented certain measures, including interest rate adjustments, to control the pace of economic growth in China. These measures, or other economic, political, or social developments in China may affect our China-based suppliers, which may adversely affect our business and operating results. We also import our products from Taiwan. The Taiwan issue is a longstanding point of contention between China and the United States. The U.S. maintains unofficial relations with Taiwan, while also recognizing the One China policy, which acknowledges Beijing as the legitimate government of Taiwan. Both China and the U.S. have engaged in military posturing around the Taiwan Strait. This increases the risk of accidental clashes or misunderstandings that could escalate into conflict, which will affect both our China-mainland-based and Taiwan-based suppliers. Additionally, both U.S. and Chinese governments have imposed tariffs on certain products and taken other actions that have had an adverse impact on trade between the two countries. |
| ● | Risk of unavailability of additional capital - We will require significant expenditures to fund future growth. We have funded our growth out of the proceeds of the IPO and internal sources of liquidity or through additional financing from external sources. Our ability to obtain external financing in the future at a reasonable cost is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and the condition of the global and domestic financial markets. If we require additional funds and cannot obtain them on acceptable terms when required or at all, we may be unable to fulfill our working capital needs, upgrade our existing facilities or expand our business and may have to reduce the level of our operations. These factors may also prevent us from entering into transactions that would otherwise benefit our business or implementing our future strategies. Any debt financing that we undertake may be expensive and might impose covenants that restrict our operations and strategic initiatives, including limitations on our ability to incur liens or additional debt, pay dividends, repurchase our capital stock, make investments and engage in mergers, consolidations and asset sale transactions. Equity financings may be on terms that are dilutive or potentially dilutive to our shareholders, and the prices at which new investors would be willing to purchase our equity securities may be lower than the trading prices of such equities. If new sources of financing are required, but are unattractive, insufficient or unavailable, then we could be required to modify our business plans or growth strategy which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. |
| ● | Risk of uncertainty in the cost and production level of raw materials - We depend on third party suppliers to manufacture many of the products we sell, in particular, ATVs and UTVs, as opposed to our Pontoon Boats which we manufacture in our Dallas facility. For the period ended March 31, 2025, we purchased approximately 82% of our products from two of these suppliers. Competition for the output of these suppliers is intense. If these independent suppliers were unwilling or unable to supply us with products at prices which enable us to maintain our gross margins, it would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. Although we are looking to broaden our supplier base and to reduce our dependence upon a limited number of suppliers, there is no assurance we will be able to do so and increasing the number of suppliers from which we purchase products may increase our costs. |
| ● | Risk related to inflation - In recent years, our China-based suppliers have increased the cost of their products due to inflation. We may not be able to pass along price increases in raw materials, parts, or components to customers. As a result, an increase in the cost of the raw materials, parts, and components our suppliers use in the manufacture of our products could reduce our profitability and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. |
| ● | Risk of seasonal sales of Pontoon Boats - A portion of our sales revenue generated from Massimo Marine has a seasonal sales pattern. For the period ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our revenue generated from Massimo Marine was approximately 3.2% and 4.8% of our total revenue, respectively. |
| 2 |
| ● | Uncertainty and impacts from recent US tariff policies - Governments have, and may continue to, turned to trade barriers to protect their domestic industries against foreign imports, thereby depressing shipping demand. Under the current U.S. administration, there is significant and increasing uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States, China, and other exporting countries, including with respect to trade policies, treaties, government regulations, and tariffs. In January 2025, during the initial days of President Trump’s second term, the United States announced the imposition of additional substantial tariffs on imports from various countries, including China, Canada and Mexico. On March 4, 2025, the U.S. imposed 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada and enacted an extra 10% tariff on Chinese imports, therefore doubling the previously levied tariff from February to an additional 20% on existing tariffs. In response, China announced retaliatory tariffs on U.S. agricultural goods and export restrictions to the U.S., in addition to filing a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization. |
| On April 2, 2025, President Trump announced new tariffs on many U.S. trading partners, including a 34% tax on imports from China. These tariffs were in addition to the previous announcements of 25% taxes on auto imports, tariffs implemented against China, Canada and Mexico, and trade penalties on steel and aluminum. However, the 20% charge on imports from China was in addition to the 34% import tax announced. Protectionist developments, or the perception that they may occur, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions, and may significantly reduce global trade. | |
| On April 9, 2025, President Trump increased tariffs on Chinese imports, culminating in a total tariff rate of 145%. This included a 20% “fentanyl tariff” and a 125% “reciprocal tariff” aimed at addressing trade imbalances and other concerns. On April 10, 2025, China raised tariff on all U.S. goods to 84% and further increased to 125% on April 12, 2025. | |
| On May 14, 2025, the United States and China have entered a 90-day trade truce, temporarily easing the heightened tariffs, and agreed to reduce tariffs for a 90-day period. The U.S. lowered tariffs on Chinese imports from a peak of 145% to 30%, while China reduced its duties on U.S. goods from 125% to 10%. | |
| Moreover, increasing trade protectionism may cause an increase in (i) the cost of goods exported from regions globally, particularly from the Asia-Pacific region, (ii) the length of time required to transport goods and (iii) the risks associated with exporting goods. Such increases may further reduce the quantity of goods to be shipped, shipping time schedules, voyage costs and other associated costs, which could have an adverse impact on our customers’ business, operating results and financial condition and could thereby affect their ability to make timely payments to us and their orders quantity. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition. |

Revenue
Revenues decreased by $15.3 million, or 50.6%, from $30.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to $14.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the contraction of the U.S. economy and reduced consumer spending. New tariffs contributed to rising inflation, with U.S. consumer inflation reported at 2.8% year-over-year in February 2025, and expectations of further increases. This inflationary environment, coupled with high, long-lasting interest rates, led to reduced spending and demand from retail end customers for discretionary goods, particularly luxury items like yachts and pontoon boats. At the same time, the uncertainty surrounding tariffs, trade restrictions, and potential trade barriers stemming from President Trump’s policies, which were further exacerbated in January 2025, caused our major big-box customers to reduce their orders.

Revenue from sales of UTVs, ATVs and e-bikes
Revenue from sales of UTVs, ATVs and electric bikes decreased by $13.3 million, or 46.2%, from $28.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to $15.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributed to a decline in sales volume from big box stores. Due to the uncertainty surrounding tariffs, trade restrictions, and potential trade barriers stemming from President Trump’s policies, which were further exacerbated in January 2025. These geopolitical factors have created a volatile market environment, leading to reduced confidence among our major retail customers, especially big-box stores that typically place large volume orders.
The uncertainty surrounding future tariffs and trade restrictions has made it difficult for these big-box customers to predict costs and plan inventories and orders effectively. As a result, many of them have taken a more conservative approach to ordering, significantly reducing their purchase volumes in anticipation of higher costs and possible delays in shipping. This has further contributed to the overall decline in sales.
Additionally, ongoing inflationary pressures, coupled with the prolonged impact of high interest rates, have put a strain on consumer spending. These macroeconomic factors have led to decreased demand for non-essential and higher-priced goods, including recreational vehicles like UTVs, ATVs, and electric bikes. Retailers, in turn, have been cautious about placing orders for items that may not move as quickly due to these reduced consumer spending patterns. The combination of geopolitical and economic uncertainties has resulted in an environment where both consumers and retailers are hesitant to make significant purchasing decisions, leading to the sharp decline in sales of these products.

Revenue from sales of Pontoon Boats
Revenue from sales of Pontoon Boats decreased by $1.0 million, or 64.7%, from $1.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by an industry-wide downturn caused by high interest rates and inflation, which have impacted the consumption of non-essential goods. In addition, high rejection rates from floorplan financing providers such as Northpoint have directly affected the inventory level that dealers can maintain, thereby reducing our sales in this category. This trend aligns with broader industry challenges. Ongoing economic uncertainty in the U.S. has further reduced discretionary spending on luxury boats, negatively affecting sales of high-end models such as our yacht.
Gross profit
Our gross profit decreased by $6.3 million, or 59.6%, from $10.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to $4.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Gross margin was 28.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, as compared with 34.7% in first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in gross margin was mainly due to an increase in freight absorbed in cost of sales. The significant increase in tariff rates on Chinese imports in March 2025 has not yet been reflected in the cost of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Cost of revenue on UTVs, ATVs and electric bikes decreased by $7.5 million, or 40.5%, from $18.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to $11.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and gross profit decreased by $5.8 million, or 56.6%, from $10.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to $4.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Our gross margin decreased by 6.9%, from 35.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to 28.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in the cost of revenue was primarily due to decreased product purchase cost, resulting from the decrease in sales volume. The decline in gross margin was primarily driven by higher freight costs compared to the prior year.
Cost of revenue on Pontoon Boats decreased by $0.8 million, or 61%, from $1.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Gross profit decreased by $0.2 million, or 84%, from a profit of $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to a profit of $0.04 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in cost of revenue was mainly due to lower products cost, resulting from decreased sales. Gross margin decreased by 8.3%, from 15.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to 6.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, driven by the significant drop in sales. The gross loss occurred primarily due to two key factors. First, there was a significant decrease in revenue due to reduced consumer spending on recreational boats. Second, despite this decline in revenue, our fixed overhead costs remained high. These costs, such as rent and insurance, are not easily adjusted in the short term. As a result, the fixed overhead costs could not be absorbed by the reduced gross margin, leading to a gross loss for the period.

Repurchase of goods and cost of inventory recovered from litigation settlement
On February 19, 2025, we entered into a settlement agreement with a dealer to repurchase certain ATVs and pontoon boats at an agreed percentage of the original invoices amount. In connection with this settlement, we recorded a sales reduction of $1.0 million and recognized $0.8 million as the cost of repurchased inventory in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. As a result, our gross profit was reduced by $0.2 million.
Selling expenses
Our selling expenses mainly consist of warranty expense, advertising and promotion expense and shipping and handling fee. These expenses decreased by $0.3 million, or 15.4%, from $2.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to $1.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, representing 12.5% and 7.3% of our total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a $0.2 million reduction in warranty expenses, reflecting improvements in quality control and customer service. The launch of a traveling technician team enabled faster and more efficient responses to customer service requests, which helped lower overall repair costs. The decrease was partly offset by higher shipping and handling fees, which rose from approximately $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to $1.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
General and administrative expenses
Our general and administrative expenses primarily include salaries and benefits, professional fees, office expenses, travel expenses, insurance expenses, and depreciation expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.1 million, or 2.7%, from $4.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to $4.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was mainly due to increased salaries and benefit, insurance expense and professional fees that are related to being a public company, partly offset by a decrease in legal fee. Our general and administrative expenses represented 28.3% and 13.6% of our total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and the first quarter of fiscal 2024, respectively.
Our salaries and benefits were $1.3 million and $1.1 million, representing 31.2% and 27.0% of our total general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase was primarily due to $0.3 million stock-based compensation expenses recognized for RSUs and stock option grants.
Our rent expenses increased by $0.2 million or 28.7%, from $0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, to $0.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, representing 21.4% and 17.1% of our total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our rent expense increased due to the higher renewal rent rate and the addition of a new lease agreement in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
Our legal and professional expense decreased by $0.2 million or 25.1%, from $0.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, to $0.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, representing 13.6% and 18.6% of our total general and administrative expenses in first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to fewer ongoing lawsuits cases that require legal consulting service in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 when compared with same period in last year, partly offset by increased in professional fee that are related to being a public company.
Interest expenses
Our interest expense decreased by $0.1 million or 99.2%. Interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 primarily related to a bank loan. No such expense was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, as we did not have any bank loans during the period.
Other income, net
Other income decreased by $0.1 million, or 68.2%, from $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, to $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. We wrote off a vendor’s account payable balance by $177,147 as a result of a settlement between the vendor and the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, which was one-off income. However, we did not have such income in the current quarter.
| 6 |
(Loss) income before income taxes
We had loss before income taxes of $2.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to income before tax $4.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $6.2 million in gross profit, an increase of $0.7 million in research and development expenses, and other expenses as discussed above.
(Recovery of) Provision for income taxes
We did not have current income tax in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 due to net loss position and we recognized a deferred income tax recovery of $0.5 million due to temporary differences recognized and net operating loss carried forward. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we had current income tax of $0.9 million arising from net assessable income.
Net (loss) income
Net loss was $2.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared with net income of $3.2 million and 2024, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to decreased revenues and gross profit, offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses and a loss on litigation, as discussed above.

The following table sets forth summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:
| Three months ended March 31, | ||||||||

| Cash, end of the period | $ | 843,624 | $ | 207,137 | ||||
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $3.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to net cash used operating activities of approximately $0.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, representing an increase in the net cash used in operating activities of $2.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease is primarily due to the following:
| ● | Net loss of $2.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with net income of $3.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. |
| ● | Our net loss was adjusted for non-cash items, including non-cash operating lease expense, gain (loss) on disposal of fixed asset, impairment of advance to suppliers, amortization of stock-based compensation related to options and RSUs granted, amortization and depreciation, loss on litigation, deferred tax expense (recovery), inventories reserve, write-off of accounts receivable and provision (reversal of allowance) for expected credit loss. Non-cash items of approximately $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to non-cash items of approximately $0.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2024. |
| ● | Account payable decreased by approximately $3.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to an increase of approximately $2.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, because we reduced our purchase of inventories due to decreased sales and high tariff policy. |
| ● | Our tax payable remained unchanged in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to an increase of approximately $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily because we did not have current tax expense due to loss position. |
| 7 |
| ● | Increase in payment of operating lease of $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, primary due to leasing additional warehouse space and rent increment upon the renewal of lease agreement. |
| ● | The balance was partly offset by a decrease in accounts receivable by approximately $0.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to a decrease of approximately $4.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, and |
| ● | Decrease in inventories of approximately $2.9 million, compared to an increase of $1.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. |
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $3.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to net cash provided investing activities of $23,574 in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. We made a 7-month fixed deposit of $3.0 million with a bank in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. During the same period in fiscal 2024, we had proceeds from the sale of property and equipment totaling $128,001, partially offset by purchases of property and equipment amounting to $104,427.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $3.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in net cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was primarily attributable to repayment of shareholder withdrawal of $3.0 million. This compares to proceeds from the common shares’ subscription of $0.5 million, offset by the repayment of other loans of $0.3 million and the payment for initial public offering related costs of $0.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2024
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
The general objectives of our capital management strategy reside in the preservation of our capacity to continue operating, in providing benefits to our stakeholders and in providing an adequate return on investment to our shareholders by selling our products at a price commensurate with the level of operating risk assumed by us.
We thus determine the total amount of capital required consistent with risk levels. This capital structure is adjusted on a timely basis depending on changes in the economic environment and risks of the underlying assets. We are not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
Working Capital
As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.8 million. Our current assets were approximately $35.1 million, including approximately $3.0 million short-term investment in Certificate of Deposit, approximately $5.6 million accounts receivable, approximately $24.4 million inventory, approximately $0.2 million advance to suppliers and approximately $1.1 million prepayment deposit and other receivables, and our current liabilities were approximately $19.6 million, including $5.7 million accounts payable to suppliers, $7.0 million other payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, $0.6 million contract liabilities, $1.1 million income tax payable, $2.5 million loan from a related party and $2.2 million liabilities from obligations under operating and financing leases, which resulted in a positive working capital of $15.5 million.
Our primary source of cash is currently generated from our business. In the coming years, we will be looking to other sources, such as raising additional capital by issuing shares of stock, to meet our cash needs. While facing uncertainties regarding the size and timing of capital raise, we are confident that we can continue to support our operational needs solely by utilizing cash flows generated from our operating activities organically for the next 12 months.
Capital Expenditure
Our capital expenditure consists primarily of the lease of fixed assets and equipment as a result of our business growth. Our capital expenditure amounted to approximately nil and $104,427 for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Contractual Commitments
As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s contractual obligations consisted of the following:
| Contractual Obligations | Total | Less than 1 year | 1-3 years | 3-5 years | More than 5 years | |||||||||||||||
| Lease commitment | $ | 10,820,752 | $ | 2,892,711 | $ | 4,754,541 | $ | 3,173,500 | $ | – | ||||||||||
Off-balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements
There was no off-balance sheet arrangements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, that have, or that in the opinion of management are likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, each as of the date of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses during the periods presented. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates their estimates and assumptions, and the effects of any such revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which they are determined to be necessary. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual outcomes could differ materially from those estimates in a manner that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Management has determined that, while there are no critical accounting estimates, the most significant estimates relate to sales returns, products warranty, allowance for credit loss, inventory provision, and the assessment and disclosure of contingent liabilities due to on-going lawsuit. Each of these are discussed below.
Sales returns
We provide a refund policy to accept returns from end customers, which varies and depends on the different products and customers. We are also obligated to repurchase from the dealer if the dealer defaults on payments to the financing sources that have the repurchase agreements with us. The estimated sales returns are determined based upon an analysis of historical sales returns. Return allowances are recorded as a reduction in sales with corresponding sales return liabilities which are included in “accrued return liabilities.” The estimated cost of returned inventory is recorded as a reduction to cost of sales and an increase of right of return assets which is included in “inventories.” The factors affecting our sales return liabilities include the number of products currently within the return period, historical and anticipated rates of sales returns claimed on those products, and the estimated amount of returns that may be claimed within this period. If actual results differ from the estimates, it revises its estimated sales returns liability accordingly. Each period end, the Company reviews and reassesses the adequacy of its recorded sales returns liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $99,605 and $261,588 of sales return liabilities associated with estimated product returns were recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded sales returns of $1,213,347 and $425,705 respectively.
Warranty
We generally provide a one-year limited warranty against defects in materials related to the sale of products. We consider the warranty as an assurance type warranty since the warranty provides the customers the assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specifications. Estimated future warranty obligations are included in cost of product sales in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. The factors affecting our warranty include the number of products currently under warranty, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claim on those products, and the estimates of repair and replacement costs to satisfy our warranty obligation. The anticipated rate of warranty claims is the primary estimate used in determining the warranty liability and is relatively predictable using historical experience of failure rates. The average remaining aggregate warranty period of the products sold is calculated, repair parts are generally already in stock or available at pre-determined prices, and labor rates are generally arranged at pre-established amount with service providers. If actual results differ from the estimates, we revise its estimated warranty liability. Each quarter, we re-evaluate its estimates and assess the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjust the amounts as necessary. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $386,798 and $503,553 of product warranty were recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded warranty expenses of $119,732 and $386,959, respectively.
Allowance for credit loss
We considered various factors, including nature, historical collection experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances and the contract assets, credit quality and specific risk characteristics of its customers, current economic conditions, forecasts of future economic conditions, reversion period, and qualitative and quantitative adjustments to develop an estimate of credit losses. We have adopted loss rate method to calculate the credit loss and considered the relevant factors of the historical and future conditions of the Company to make reasonable estimation of the risk rate. For accounts receivable aged less than one year and non-overdue contract assets, we use the loss rate method, which is a combination of historical rate method and adjustment rate method, to estimate the credit loss. For accounts receivable aged over one year and overdue receivable, we use the individual specific valuation method to estimate the credit loss.
| 9 |
We wrote off potentially uncollectible accounts receivable against the allowance for credit losses if it is determined that the amounts will not be collected. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we recorded allowance for credit loss of $0.4 million and $0.4 million in the consolidated balance sheet, respectively.
Inventory provision
We assessed the net realizable value of each item of inventories and compared it to the cost on the book, which includes the cost of raw materials, freight and duty for raw materials, direct labor costs, and the overhead costs for finished goods at the end of each reporting period. In addition, we assessed all slow-moving or obsolete items for inventory valuation purposes. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had inventory provision of $469,900 and $469,900, included in inventories, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Impairment provision of inventories were nil and nil for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, included in cost of revenues in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.
Contingencies
We may be involved in various legal proceedings, claims and other disputes arising from the commercial operations, projects and other matters which, in general, are subject to uncertainties and in which the outcome are not predictable. We determine whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. Although we can give no assurances about the resolution of pending claims, litigation or other disputes and the effect such outcomes may have on us, we believe that any ultimate liability resulting from the outcome of such proceedings, to the extent not otherwise provided or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on the our unaudited condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations or liquidity as at March 31, 2025, except one litigation discussed below.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Certifying Officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Certifying Officers concluded that a material weakness was present as of that date related to ineffective controls over information and communication and period end financial disclosure and reporting processes, including not effectively communicating internally between the sales department and the accounting department and externally with the client and lack of effectiveness of controls over accurate accounting and financial reporting and reviewing the underlying financial statement elements.
Remediated Material Weaknesses
We are committed to maintaining strong internal control over financial reporting. In relation to the material weaknesses, management, with oversight from the Company’s Audit Committee, is in the process of developing and implementing remediation plans in response to the identified material weaknesses described above by:
| ● | designing and implementing control activities to ensure there is an appropriate periodic assessment of its internal control environment and period end disclosure and reporting processes. For example, new approval procedure is in place for any changes in product offerings or terms and conditions of the arrangements with customers; |
| ● | designing and implementing additional monitoring controls for its existing and new revenue streams; and |
| ● | designing and implementing effective communication between the sales department and the accounting department. |
These material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time for management to conclude, through testing, that such controls are operating effectively. Management is committed to the remediation of the material weaknesses described above, as well as the continued improvement of our internal controls and will continue to review, optimize and enhance financial reporting controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than as discussed above, there have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Taizhou Nebula Power Co. Ltd. v. Massimo Motor Sports, LLC
In September 2020, Taizhou Nebula Power Co. Ltd. (“Nebula”) filed suit against us in the Dallas County District of Texas. Nebula has alleged that we owe them $2,343,868.60 for products that it shipped to us from 2017 to 2019. Nebula also seeks undefined damages they claim were caused by our failure to hit certain sales targets pursuant to the Distribution Agreement signed by both parties. A bench trial was conducted in May 2024. On June 6, 2024, the trial court entered its Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, which generally found for Nebula on its breach of contract claims and denied Massimo’s counterclaims. After post-trial fees briefing, the trial court entered its Final Judgment on July 8, 2024 (see first audit response letter). On August 7, 2024, Massimo timely filed a notice of appeal of the Final Judgment. Massimo filed its appellant’s brief on January 31, 2025. Nebula filed its appellee’s brief on May 1, 2025. Massimo intends to continue vigorously defending the lawsuit and pursuing its appeal. While Massimo is not opposed to an out-of-court settlement, to date Nebula’s attorneys have had limited interest in discussing settlement.
Zhejiang Qunying Vehicle Co., Ltd. v. Cho International, Inc
On September 5, 2023, Zhejiang Qunyinh Vehicle Co., Ltd. (“Zhejiang”) filed suit against us and ten other corporate entities in the Superior Court of the State of California for Orange County. Zhejiang alleges claims of approximately $6,000,000 in damages for products that were allegedly shipped to the United States but not paid for. Despite us being one of the ten entities that plaintiff has sued, we have had minimal interactions with Zhejiang. We have not purchased any products from Zheijang. In February 2024, Zhejiang filed a Second Amended Complaint. Massimo filed a demurrer seeking to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint due to Zhejiang’s failure to state a valid claim in March 2024. In August 2024, the Court denied in part and granted in part Massimo’s demurrer. As a result, Zhejiang still has valid claims against Massimo. The trial is scheduled for March 2026. Massimo intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.
In the past, we have also been subject to over fifty (50) legal proceedings encompassing: employment disputes, personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits, property damage lawsuits, product liability and manufacturing defect lawsuits and contractual disputes with our suppliers, distributors, customers, an on-site security provider, a freight shipping company and a previous law firm. These cases also include an inquiry by the Missouri Office of the Attorney General and the Pennsylvania State Board of Vehicle Manufacturers, Dealers and Salespersons. We do not believe that these past cases will have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. However, we cannot assure you that past litigation will not have an impact on our present reputation or goodwill among dealers, distributors and customers.
Item 1A. Risk Factors

Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks could arise that may also affect our business. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
