Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report (the “Quarterly Report”) of Aureus Greenway Holdings Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company”) contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. These statements appear in several different places in this Quarterly Report and, in some cases, can be identified by words such as “anticipates”, “estimates”, “projects”, “expects”, “contemplates”, “intends”, “believes”, “plans”, “may”, “will” or their negatives or other comparable words, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report may include, but are not limited to, statements and/or information related to: our financial performance and projections; our business prospects and opportunities; our business strategy and future operations; the projection of timing and completion of business operations in the future; projected costs; expectations regarding demand and use of our golf country clubs; estimated costs related to maintain our facilities; trends in the market in which we operate; the plans and objectives of management; our liquidity and capital requirements, including cash flows and uses of cash; and trends relating to our industry.
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations about future events on information that is available as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and any forward-looking statements made by us speak only as of the date on which they are made. While we believe these expectations are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Our actual future results may differ materially from those discussed or implied in our forward-looking statements for various reasons, including, our ability to change the direction of the Company; our ability to keep pace with competitors, new technology and changing market needs; our capital needs, and the competitive environment of our business. Additional Factors that could contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to:
| ● | general economic and business conditions, including changes in interest rates; |
| ● | competition from other golf country clubs, costs associated with maintain our golf country clubs and other economic conditions; |
| ● | the effect of an outbreak of disease or similar public health threat, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, on the Company’s business (natural phenomena, including the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic); |
| ● | the impact of political unrest, natural disasters or other crises, terrorist acts, acts of war and/or military operations, and our ability to maintain or broaden our business relationships and develop new relationships with strategic alliances, suppliers, customers, distributors or otherwise; |
| ● | breaches in data security, failure of information security systems, cyber-attacks or other security or privacy-related incidents affecting us or our suppliers; |
| ● | the ability of our infrastructure systems or information security systems to operate effectively; |
| ● | actions by government authorities, including changes in government regulation; |
| ● | uncertainties associated with legal proceedings; |
| ● | changes in the size of the golf country club industry; |
| ● | future decisions by management in response to changing conditions; |
| ● | the Company’s ability to execute prospective business plans; |
| ● | misjudgments in the course of preparing forward-looking statements; |
| ● | the Company’s ability to raise sufficient funds to carry out its proposed business plan; |
| ● | inability to keep up with advances in the golf country club industry; |
| ● | inability to advertise or market services and products at our gold country clubs or develop new services or add new products that address additional market opportunities to generate revenue and positive cash flows; |
| ● | dependency on certain key personnel and any inability to retain and attract qualified personnel; |
| ● | inability to succeed in establishing, maintaining and strengthening our brand; |
| ● | disruption of supply or shortage of raw materials relating to the upkeep and maintenance of our gold country clubs; |
| ● | the unavailability, reduction or elimination of government and economic incentives; |
| ● | failure to manage future growth effectively; and |
| ● | the other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including but not limited to those described under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025. |
Although management has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There is no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. These cautionary remarks expressly qualify, in their entirety, all forward-looking statements attributable to our Company or persons acting on our Company’s behalf. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting such statements, except as, and to the extent required by, applicable securities laws.

Pine Ridge Group Limited (“Pine Ridge”) was acquired by Mr. Cheung Chi Ping from independent third parties on December 31, 2013.
Chrome Field I, Inc. (“Chrome I”) was incorporated on December 24, 2013 in the State of Delaware.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. The consolidated financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between members of the Group are eliminated upon consolidation.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by the U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with the U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, in normal recurring nature, as necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2025, and results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by the U.S. GAAP. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and related notes included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.
Emerging growth company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates and assumptions made by management include allowance for expected credit loss, allowance for deferred tax assets, the impairment assessment of property and equipment and estimated incremental borrowing rate of lease. Actual results could differ from those estimates as the current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and
demand deposits which have original maturities less than three months and are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use. As of March 31, 2025
and December 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $
Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances
at financial institutions more than the federally insured limit of $
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable mainly represent amounts due from customers paid by credit cards for provision of golf operations services and sales of merchandise and food and beverages which are recorded net of allowance for expected credit losses. The credit cards payment is to be settled either within few days after the year end date due to the timing difference for the payment transfer from credit card center to the bank accounts of the Company or within one month after the services were utilized by the customers who have authorized the Company to make the payment through their credit cards. The Company reviews accounts receivable periodically for collectability and establishes an allowance for expected credit losses and records provision for allowance for expected credit losses expense when deemed necessary. The Company records an allowance for expected credit losses that is based on historical trends, customer knowledge, any known disputes, future expectation, future economic situation consideration and considers the aging of the accounts receivable balances combined with management’s estimate of future potential recoverability. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowance after all attempts to collect a receivable have failed. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no allowance for expected credit losses due to no experiences on default from customers or failure of transfer from credit card center after payment authorization was made by customers and all outstanding accounts receivable as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were subsequently settled before this report date.
Prepaid expenses
Prepaid
expenses represent the prepayment for (i) the consultancy
service of $
Inventories, net
Our inventories consist of merchandise goods such as golf balls, gloves, men’s wear and women’s wears, food and beverages and we value inventories using the lower first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and net realizable value, which is generally based on the selling price expectations of the merchandise goods. We regularly review inventories to determine if the carrying value of the inventory exceeds net realizable value and, when determined necessary, record a reserve to reduce the carrying value to net realizable value. Changes in customer merchandise preference, current and anticipated demand, consumer spending, weather patterns, economic conditions, business trends or merchandising strategies could cause our inventory to be exposed to obsolescence or slow-moving merchandise. For foods and beverages, the turnaround time is short, usually within one to two weeks. For the merchandise goods, all goods are aged less than one year and the Company will offer discounts to customers to boost the selling but higher than that of purchase price. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no obsolescent goods were noted.
Deferred offering costs
The Company follows the requirements
of the FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering”.
Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related
to the intended initial public offering (“IPO”). Deferred offering costs will be charged to stockholders’ equity netted
against the proceeds upon the completion of the IPO. Should the IPO prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred offering costs, as well
as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to statements of operations. As of December 31, 2024, the Company deferred $
| 11 |
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment, net are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Property and equipment, consisting of land, buildings and recreational facilities, properties improvements, equipment, furniture and fixture. We capitalize costs that materially add value and appreciably extend the useful life of an asset. With respect to golf course improvements (included in land improvements), only costs associated with original construction, complete replacements, or the addition of new trees, sand traps, fairways or greens are capitalized while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred. Land is not depreciated.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:
| Depreciable land improvements | ||
| Building and recreational facilities | ||
| Properties improvements | ||
| Equipment, furniture and fixture |
The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.
Impairment for Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, representing property and equipment
with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market
conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. In evaluating
long-lived assets for recoverability, the Company uses its best estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset
and eventual disposition in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-15. To the extent that estimated future, undiscounted cash inflows attributable
to the asset, less estimated future, undiscounted cash outflows, are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in
an amount equal to the difference between the carrying value of such asset and its fair value. Assets to be disposed of and for which
there is a committed plan of disposal, whether through sale or abandonment, are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value
less costs to sell. If an impairment is identified, The Company would reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value
based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. As of March 31, 2025 and December
31, 2024,
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows accounting guidelines on fair value measurements for financial instruments measured on a recurring basis, as well as for certain assets and liabilities that are initially recorded at their estimated fair values. Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The Company uses the following three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to value its financial instruments:
| ● | Level 1: Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. | |
| ● | Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. | |
| ● | Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires a significant judgment or estimation. |
| 12 |
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires the Company to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair values. Accordingly, the fair value estimates disclosed, or initial amounts recorded, may not be indicative of the amount that the Company or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange.
The carrying amounts shown of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, current portion of bank and other borrowings and lease liabilities and amount due to related parties are approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Non-current portion of bank and other borrowings and lease liabilities have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities. The changes in fair value as a result of the Group’s own non-performance risk for bank and other borrowings and lease liabilities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were assessed to be insignificant.
Leases
ASC 842 supersedes the lease requirements in ASC 840 “Leases”, and generally requires lessees to recognize operating and finance lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. All leases in the Group as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are accounted for as operating leases.
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.
Any lease with a term of 12 months or less is considered short-term. As permitted by ASC 842, short-term leases are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Consistent with all other operating leases, short-term lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company determines the present value of minimum future lease payments for operating leases by estimating a rate of interest that it would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments and a similar economic environment (the “incremental borrowing rate” or “IBR”).The Company determines the appropriate IBR by identifying a reference rate and making adjustments that take into consideration financing options and certain lease-specific circumstances.
Accrued Liabilities
Accrued liabilities primarily include accrued property tax and sales tax and other accrual and payable for the operation of the ordinary course of business.
Bank and Other Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of upfront fees incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in statements of operations over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. All bank and other borrowings have been fully repaid upon listing.

Related Parties
The Company adopted ASC Topic 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or significant influence of the same party, such as a family member or relative, shareholder, or a related corporation.
The details of related party transactions during the three months ended March 31 ,2025 and 2024 and balances as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are set out in Note 8.
Revenue Recognition
All revenue recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services and products to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:
| ● | executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable; | |
| ● | identification of performance obligations in the respective contract; | |
| ● | determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract; | |
| ● | allocation the transaction price to each performance obligation; and | |
| ● | recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation. |
The Company recognizes revenue when, or as, performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which generally occurs when, or as, control of promised goods or services are transferred to customers. Revenue is measured as the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services (“transaction price”). To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the most likely amount to which the Company expects to be entitled. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Estimates of variable consideration and the determination of whether to include such estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information that is reasonably available. The Company accounts for taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis and excludes these amounts from revenues.
In addition, the Company defers certain costs to fulfill the Company’s contracts with customers to the extent such costs relate directly to the contracts, are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy the Company’s performance obligations under the contracts, and are expected to be recovered through revenue generated under the contracts. Contract fulfillment costs are incurred as the Company satisfies the related performance obligations.
Revenue from golf operations
There are two types of service charges maintained by the Company, the players can either (1) subscribe to the entertainment services for a period of time of one year at a discount (i.e. annual subscription green fees); or (2) purchase the services at the counter by one-time payment (i.e. one-time green fees). The golf courses are open to public and hence our customers include both local and overseas citizens. The charges comprise of both the cart fee and fees for playing in the golf course, which is fixed without variable consideration, and the customers either pay via cash or credit card. The entire service fee from customers is non-refundable and required to be paid in advance.
| 14 |
The Company sells annual green fee subscriptions to
local patrons. The performance obligation of the annual subscription is for the Company to provide a patron with access to the golf course
and cart, subject to availability of a tee time for a patron to play a single round on the 18-hole course; the round of golf is expected
to be completed before sunset of the day of the booking of that tee time. The Company recognizes revenue from these annual subscriptions
on a monthly basis over twelve months. The annual subscriptions are non-refundable. Payments for subscriptions in the form of cash or
credit card are received in advance, and are recorded as contract liabilities-deferred revenue, and recognized to revenue at the end of
each month. Management believes that the services provided each month are substantially similar and result in the transfer of substantially
similar services to the customers each month. That is, the benefit consumed by the customers is substantially similar for each month,
even though the exact volume of services may vary. The Company concludes that the annual green fees subscription satisfies the requirements
of ASC 606-10-25-14(b) to be accounted for as a single performance obligation. The annual subscriptions fees are fixed and there is no
variable consideration, significant financing components or noncash consideration. There is no contract asset related to these annual
green fee subscriptions. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded contract liabilities - deferred revenue of $
One-time green fees require the Company to provide to a patron access to a designated 18-hole golf course and cart to play a single round of golf subject to non-hazardous weather conditions that is expected to be completed before sunset of the day of booking of that tee time. Management believes access to the golf course and the card constitute a single performance obligation as either service is not available to be purchased separately. Payments for tee times are non-refundable and are received via cash or credit card immediately prior to the initiation of the patron playing the round of 18-hole golf; therefore, and one-time green fees are not refundable. Typically, in the event that weather is not expected to permit the patron to play and complete the single round of golf, the Company will not undertake the transaction and take payment from the patron. The one-time green fees are fixed and there is no variable consideration.
Sales of merchandise, food and beverage
Golf course patrons regularly buy golf balls, clothing, paraphernalia, and gloves, or will enjoy food and beverage offered at the clubhouses. Patrons make orders at the counter. The price is fixed without variable consideration. The Company recognizes revenue when the merchandise or food and beverage are delivered, net of discounts, if any and control of the product has been passed to the customer. If the clothing or wearables have product defects, they are subject to exchange, but all sales are final and not subject to return. Product delivery is evidenced by a payment receipt record. Payments are settled via cash or credit card. The respective revenue is recognized at a point in time. There are no warranties, sales returns and refunds after the orders are delivered to the customers at the counter.
Ancillary revenue
Ancillary revenue represented the lease of its clubhouse for several hours for events held by associations or individuals such as golf tournaments and lease of golf club to individuals for one day playing golf in the Company’s golf course. The revenue was recognized upon services were rendered (i.e. on daily basis when the venue or golf club was used that day). Deposit was received in advance for booking of clubhouse and recognized as contract liabilities – deferred income upon receipt and recognized as revenue in the statements of income when service was rendered or no show after booking. Deposit received is non-refundable.
Operating Costs
Golf operating costs consist of costs associated with golf course upkeep expenses and are expended as incurred.
Other General and Administrative Expense
Other General and administrative expense consists of audit fees for initial public offering, costs associated with corporate and administrative functions that support development and operations.
Income Tax
The Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
| 15 |
The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company
had
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related
to uncertain income tax positions in other expense.
The Company computes earnings per share, or EPS, in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per common stock basis of the potential common stocks (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common stocks 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, there were dilutive common stocks.
Segment Information
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for details on the Company’s business segments. The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s CEO is the CODM. Management, including the CODM, reviews operation results by revenue, gross profit and gross margin, operating expenses and income from operations of different services, while revenue is the profitability measure used by the CODM in making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performances. Based on management’s assessment, the Company has determined that it has only one operating segment as defined by ASC 280, because the Company provides golf operations, sales of merchandise, food and beverage and provides ancillary services to customers in most instances, and has only one team to provide products and services to customers. All assets of the Company are located in Florida and all revenue is generated from Florida.
Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings and claims arising out of the business that relate to a wide range of matters, such as government investigations and tax matters. The Company recognizes a liability for such contingency if it determines it is probable that a loss has occurred, and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made. The Company may consider many factors in making these assessments including historical and the specific facts and circumstances of each matter.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative.” This ASU incorporates certain U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosure requirements into the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in the ASU are expected to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of Codification Topics, allow users to compare entities subject more easily to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations. For entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements and for entities required to file or furnish financial statements with or to the SEC in preparation for the sale of or for purposes of issuing securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC removes that related disclosure from its rules. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective two years later. However, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective for any entity. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2023-06 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
| 16 |
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” The amendments in this ASU are intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This ASU requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision mark (CODM), an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition, all annual disclosures required by FASB ASU Topic 280 in interim periods as well, and the title and position of the CODM and how the CODM uses the reported measures. Additionally, this ASU requires that at least one of the reported segment profit and loss measures should be the measure that is most consistent with the measurement principles used in an entity’s consolidated financial statements. Lastly, this ASU requires public business entities with a single reportable segment to provide all disclosures required by these amendments in this ASU and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively. We have adopted ASU 2023-06 during the current period and there is no material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provides guidance on the requirements such as the requirement that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. For public business entities (PBEs), the new requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public business entities (non-PBEs), the requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The ASU should be applied prospectively. Retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220-40): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”). This update requires, among other things, more detailed disclosure about types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative expenses, and is intended to improve the disclosures about an entity’s expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Except as mentioned above, the Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and comprehensive income and statements of cash flows.

Note 12 – Risk and Uncertainties
Credit Risk
The Company’s principal financial assets are cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. The Company’s credit risk is primarily concentrated in its cash which is held with institutions with a high credit worthiness. The Company has not experienced losses on their accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.
Management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash.
The Company mitigates its credit risk on receivables by actively managing and monitoring its receivables. The Company mitigates credit risk by evaluating the creditworthiness of customers prior to conducting business with them and monitoring its exposure for credit losses with existing customers. Since all accounts receivable as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are aged within one year and collected all receivables subsequent to year end, minimum credit risk was noted for accounts receivable.
Vendor concentration risk
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company
owed
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024,
one vendor accounted for
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as its financial liabilities carry interest at fixed rates.
| 24 |
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
Typically, the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of twelve months, including through operations and financial support from our stockholders and financial institutions. We are continuing to focus on improving operational efficiency and cost reductions and enhancing efficiency, as well as servicing of financial obligations: this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the necessary financing or negotiating the terms of the existing short-term liabilities to meet our current and future liquidity needs.
Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments
Litigation
From time to time, we are involved in claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Based on currently available information, we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of any unresolved matters, individually and in the aggregate, is reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and our view of these matters may change in the future. We record a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We review the need for any such liabilities on a regular basis.
Note 14 – Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated all events and transactions that occurred after March 31, 2025 up through May 15, 2025, which is the date that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are available to be issued, there were no other any material subsequent events that require disclosure in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

| ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Introductory Note
Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” are references to the combined business Aureus Greenway Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries. The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) summarizes the significant factors affecting our results of operations, liquidity, capital resources and contractual obligations. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere herein.
General Overview of Operations
We own and operate two public golf country clubs in Florida that we acquired in 2014. Our golf country clubs include two golf-courses with over 13,000 yards of combined fairways, clubhouses boasting food and beverage options, aquatic golf ranges, and pro shops to assist any level of golfers. Our two golf country clubs are situated on over 289 acres of multi-service recreational property.
Each of our golf country clubs is organized into four revenue streams: (i) golf operations, (ii) sales of food and beverage; (iii) sales of merchandise; and (iv) ancillary income.
Management’s Plans
Over the next twelve months, we plan to continue to promote, market, manage and operate our golf country clubs with the intent to (i) attract and retain customers across a number of demographic groups to further develop customer loyalty and capture a greater share of customers in the greater Orlando Florida region and (ii) increase revenue from managing and operating our golf country clubs.
We believe attracting and retaining customers while increasing customer engagement and loyalty by providing what we believe to be a high quality golfing experience will drive our revenue. Drivers of our revenue growth will require further steps to maintain and build on quality experiences at our golf country clubs. To achieve the foregoing, we intend to focus on:

Key Factors Affecting our Results of Operations
| a. | Seasonality and weather |
Our businesses are subject to seasonality and typically the first quarter of each year is our busiest season of the year. Then, even during our busy season, our business activities are affected by weather conditions. In 2025, we believe that we experienced more than average rainy days during the first two months causing our revenue to be under pressure.
| b. | Cost of maintenance due to inflation |
The DTE Agreement was renewed in 2022 and the renewed contractual price has been fully reflected in Q1 2025, the higher contractual price is a reflection of the inflationary environment that subsequently impacted the labor, fertilizer and chemical markets. The maintenance cost and contract with DTE may be subject to further increases in 2025 if the inflationary environment continues to impact our maintenance needs.

The financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States. They include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All transactions and balances among these entities have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by the U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with the U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, in normal recurring nature, as necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2025, and results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by the U.S. GAAP. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and related notes included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our Group’s financial information. Some of our accounting policies involve subjective assumptions and estimates, as well as complex judgements relating to accounting items. In each case, the determination of these items requires management judgements based on information and financial data that may change in future periods. When reviewing our financial statements, you should consider: (i) our selection of accounting policies; and (ii) the results to changes in conditions and assumptions. We set forth below those accounting policies that we believe are of critical importance to us or involve the most significant estimates and judgements used in the preparation of our Group’s financial statements.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable mainly represent amounts due from customers paid by credit cards for provision of golf operations services and sales of merchandise and food and beverages which are recorded net of allowance for expected credit losses. The credit cards payment is to be settled either within few days after the year end date due to the timing difference for the payment transfer from credit card center to the bank accounts of the Company or within one month after the services were utilized by the customers who have authorized the Company to make the payment through their credit cards. The Company reviews accounts receivable periodically for collectability and establishes an allowance for expected credit losses and records provision for allowance for expected credit losses expense when deemed necessary. The Company records an allowance for expected credit losses that is based on historical trends, customer knowledge, any known disputes, future expectation, future economic situation consideration and considers the aging of the accounts receivable balances combined with management’s estimate of future potential recoverability. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowance after all attempts to collect a receivable have failed. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no allowance for expected credit losses due to no experiences on default from customers or failure of transfer from credit card center after payment authorization was made by customers and all outstanding accounts receivable as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were subsequently settled before this report date.
Impairment for Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, representing property and equipment with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. In evaluating long-lived assets for recoverability, the Company uses its best estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and eventual disposition in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-15. To the extent that estimated future, undiscounted cash inflows attributable to the asset, less estimated future, undiscounted cash outflows, are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the carrying value of such asset and its fair value. Assets to be disposed of and for which there is a committed plan of disposal, whether through sale or abandonment, are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. If an impairment is identified, The Company would reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no impairment of long-lived assets was recognized.
Leases
ASC 842 supersedes the lease requirements in ASC 840 “Leases”, and generally requires lessees to recognize operating and finance lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. All leases in the Group as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are accounted for as operating leases.
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.
Any lease with a term of 12 months or less is considered short-term. As permitted by ASC 842, short-term leases are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Consistent with all other operating leases, short-term lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company determines the present value of minimum future lease payments for operating leases by estimating a rate of interest that it would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments and a similar economic environment (the “incremental borrowing rate” or “IBR”).The Company determines the appropriate IBR by identifying a reference rate and making adjustments that take into consideration financing options and certain lease-specific circumstances.
Revenue Recognition
All revenue recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services and products to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:
| ● | executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable; | |
| ● | identification of performance obligations in the respective contract; | |
| ● | determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract; | |
| ● | allocation the transaction price to each performance obligation; and | |
| ● | recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation. |
The Company recognizes revenue when, or as, performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which generally occurs when, or as, control of promised goods or services are transferred to customers. Revenue is measured as the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services (“transaction price”). To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the most likely amount to which the Company expects to be entitled. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Estimates of variable consideration and the determination of whether to include such estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information that is reasonably available. The Company accounts for taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis and excludes these amounts from revenues.
| 27 |
In addition, the Company defers certain costs to fulfill the Company’s contracts with customers to the extent such costs relate directly to the contracts, are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy the Company’s performance obligations under the contracts, and are expected to be recovered through revenue generated under the contracts. Contract fulfillment costs are incurred as the Company satisfies the related performance obligations.
Revenue from golf operations
There are two types of service charges maintained by the Company, the players can either (1) subscribe to the entertainment services for a period of time of one year at a discount (i.e. annual subscription green fees); or (2) purchase the services at the counter by one-time payment (i.e. one-time green fees). The golf courses are open to public and hence our customers include both local and overseas citizens. The charges comprise of both the cart fee and fees for playing in the golf course, which is fixed without variable consideration, and the customers either pay via cash or credit card. The entire service fee from customers is non-refundable and required to be paid in advance.
The Company sells annual green fee subscriptions to local patrons. The performance obligation of the annual subscription is for the Company to provide a patron with access to the golf course and cart, subject to availability of a tee time for a patron to play a single round on the 18-hole course; the round of golf is expected to be completed before sunset of the day of the booking of that tee time. The Company recognizes revenue from these annual subscriptions on a monthly basis over twelve months. The annual subscriptions are non-refundable. Payments for subscriptions in the form of cash or credit card are received in advance, and are recorded as contract liabilities-deferred revenue, and recognized to revenue at the end of each month. Management believes that the services provided each month are substantially similar and result in the transfer of substantially similar services to the customers each month. That is, the benefit consumed by the customers is substantially similar for each month, even though the exact volume of services may vary. The Company concludes that the annual green fees subscription satisfies the requirements of ASC 606-10-25-14(b) to be accounted for as a single performance obligation. The annual subscriptions fees are fixed and there is no variable consideration, significant financing components or noncash consideration. There is no contract asset related to these annual green fee subscriptions. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded contract liabilities - deferred revenue of $225,670 and $162,226, respectively.
One-time green fees require the Company to provide to a patron access to a designated 18-hole golf course and cart to play a single round of golf subject to non-hazardous weather conditions that is expected to be completed before sunset of the day of booking of that tee time. Management believes access to the golf course and the card constitute a single performance obligation as either service is not available to be purchased separately. Payments for tee times are non-refundable and are received via cash or credit card immediately prior to the initiation of the patron playing the round of 18-hole golf; therefore, and one-time green fees are not refundable. Typically, in the event that weather is not expected to permit the patron to play and complete the single round of golf, the Company will not undertake the transaction and take payment from the patron. The one-time green fees are fixed and there is no variable consideration.
Sales of merchandise, food and beverage
Golf course patrons regularly buy golf balls, clothing, paraphernalia, and gloves, or will enjoy food and beverage offered at the clubhouses. Patrons make orders at the counter. The price is fixed without variable consideration. The Company recognizes revenue when the merchandise or food and beverage are delivered, net of discounts, if any and control of the product has been passed to the customer. If the clothing or wearables have product defects, they are subject to exchange, but all sales are final and not subject to return. Product delivery is evidenced by a payment receipt record. Payments are settled via cash or credit card. The respective revenue is recognized at a point in time. There are no warranties, sales returns and refunds after the orders are delivered to the customers at the counter.
Ancillary revenue
Ancillary revenue represented the lease of its clubhouse for several hours for events held by associations or individuals such as golf tournaments and lease of golf club to individuals for one day playing golf in the Company’s golf course. The revenue was recognized upon services were rendered (i.e. on daily basis when the venue or golf club was used that day). Deposit was received in advance for booking of clubhouse and recognized as contract liabilities – deferred income upon receipt and recognized as revenue in the statements of income when service was rendered or no show after booking. Deposit received is non-refundable.

Our revenue is primarily comprised of golf operations, sales of food and beverage and sales of merchandise. Overall decrease in revenue period over period by $225,264 or 14% was mainly due to the decrease in all revenue stream.
Revenue from golf operations decreased by $191,941 or 16% from $1,220,881 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $1,028,940 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was driven by the decrease in both one-time green fees from golf operations by $151,884 or 13% and annual membership dues from golf operations by $40,057 or 54%.
Revenue from annual membership dues accounted for 3% and 5% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. It decreased by 54% mainly due to more receipts in advance closed to the period ended March 31, 2025 and will be deferred to be recognized as revenue during the fiscal year of 2025.
One-time green fees from golf operations accounted for 75% and 74% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Decrease in one-time green fees by 13% resulted from the decrease in total number of rounds by 4% from approximately 23,000 rounds during the three months ended March 31, 2024 to approximately 22,000 rounds during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as well as the decrease in average price per round by 8% from $49 per round for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $45 per round for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to lower was offered to the players as a result of less tourists visiting Florida during the current period because of the inflation.
Decrease in revenue from sales of food and beverage by $19,458 or 8% from $245,261 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $225,803 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was contributed by the decrease in quantities sold by 8% from approximately 40,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to approximately 37,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the average unit price remained stable at $2 per unit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $2 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in quantity sold was in line with decrease in golf operations.
Decrease in revenue from sales of merchandise by $6,588 or 13% from $51,092 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $44,504 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was contributed by the decrease in sales of golf balls, men’s and ladies’ wear and gloves by 13% as a result of the decrease in sales to customers playing golf during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Ancillary revenue mainly represented the equipment and facilities rental, including the lease of our clubhouse and lease of golf club to our customers. The decrease by $7,277 or 20% was mainly due to decrease in demand for rental services for activities and events during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The operating expenses of the Company mainly consist of costs related to golf operations, costs related to sales of food and beverage and merchandise, salaries and benefits, depreciation and other miscellaneous administrative expenses. The overall operating expenses decreased from $1,073,525 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $975,334 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was primarily due to the decreases in golf operating costs and other general and administrative expenses and partially offset by the increase in salaries and benefits during the current period with details discussed below.
Golf operating expenses consisted of course upkeep expenses including the regular repair and maintenance of the golf courses and landscaping. Decrease in golf operating expenses by $67,972 or 17% from $391,231 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $323,259 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 which was attributable to the decrease in golf course maintenance related expenses as a result of decrease in number of rounds by golf players and resulted in reduction in one-off course maintenance and improvements projects carried out by Down-to-Earth.
The decrease in cost of food and beverage by $4,926 or 7% from $70,808 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $65,882 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was in line with the decrease in sales of food and beverage.

Our salaries and benefits mainly consisted of the director’s remuneration, the staff costs and welfare of management, operating team, cashier and administrative personnel. The increase in salaries and benefits by $38,139 or 16% was primarily due to the increase in salaries paid to the Chief Financial Officer by approximately $41,000 and the directors fee paid to the independent Directors by approximately $32,000 and partially offset by the decrease in director’s remuneration paid to Mr. Chi Ping Cheung by approximately $42,000.
Our depreciation is mainly derived from the recreational building, golf carts, pump stations and other operating equipment. The depreciation remained stable at $50,784 and $50,007 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively since no significant purchase or disposal of property and equipment.
Other general and administrative expenses mainly consisted of professional fees, repair and maintenance of restaurant machineries and equipment, utilities, liability insurance, personal property tax and real estate tax, credit card charges and other miscellaneous administrative expenses.

Other income (expense)
Other income (expense) mainly includes interest expenses regarding the bank and other borrowings incurred, bank interest income and additional service charges from customers who paid by credit cards. The increase in other income was mainly due to the interest income generated from the cash deposit in banks upon successful listing of common stocks in Nasdaq.

Income tax expenses
The Company provides for income tax under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset and reconciliation of income taxes computed at the new federal statutory rate of 21% to the income tax amount recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $352,053 of net operating losses (“NOLs”) which can be carried forward indefinitely.
The NOLs carry forwards are subject to certain limitations due to the change in control of the Company pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable mainly represent amounts due from customers paid by credit cards for provision of golf operations services and sales of merchandise and food and beverages which are recorded net of allowance for expected credit loss. Increase in balance was mainly due to the more customers who paid by credit cards near the period end.
Inventories
Our inventories consist of merchandise goods such as golf balls, gloves, men’s wear and women’s wears, food and beverages. The Company keeps low inventories since the turnaround time is short.
Deferred offering costs
Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the IPO. Deferred offering costs will be charged to shareholders’ equity netted against the proceeds upon the completion of the IPO. Should the IPO prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred offering costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to statements of income. The deferred offering costs was offset against the equity upon the listing during the current period which resulted in nil balance as of March 31, 2025.
Prepaid expenses
Prepaid expenses represent the prepayment for (i) consultancy service of $150,000; (ii) the prepaid annual listing fee to Nasdaq of $64,166; and (iii) director’s and officer’s liability insurance premium of $56,000.

In order to meet the debt obligations and operating needs of our business, our management expects to satisfy the cash flow needs and through (i) maintaining stable relationships with banks in order to renew the bank borrowings upon maturity or to arrange for additional banking facilities for use when necessary; (ii) closely monitoring the collection status of accounts receivable and actively following up with our customers for settlements; (iii) diversifying and broadening our customer base to avoid reliance on particular customers and to expand our sources of revenue and cash flow; (iv) effectively managing accounts payable and negotiating for longer credit periods from suppliers, when necessary; (v) obtaining financial support from our Controlling Shareholder and investors to meet short-term operating expenses; and (vi) continuing to focusing on improving operational efficiency and cost reductions and enhancing efficiency.
The Company successfully raised a total net proceed of $10.65 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commission and other offering expenses, from its initial public offering on February 13, 2025.
The Company believes that, taking into consideration the successful listing in February 2025 and internal financial resources we have, including the current levels of cash and cash flows from operations, and the measures mentioned above, will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of this report.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Credit Risk
The Company’s principal financial assets are cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. The Company’s credit risk is primarily concentrated in its cash which is held with institutions with a high credit worthiness. The Company has not experienced losses on their accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.
Management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash.
The Company mitigates its credit risk on receivables by actively managing and monitoring its receivables. The Company mitigates credit risk by evaluating the creditworthiness of customers prior to conducting business with them and monitoring its exposure for credit losses with existing customers. Since all accounts receivable as at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are aged within one year and collected all receivables subsequent to year end, minimum credit risk was noted for accounts receivable.
Vendor concentration risk
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company owed 80% and 84% of accounts payable to a key supplier, respectively.
| 36 |
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, one vendor accounted for 26% and 28% of our total operating costs, respectively. No other vendor accounts for more than 10% of our total operating costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as its financial liabilities carry interest at fixed rates.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
Typically, the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of twelve months, including through operations and financial support from our stockholders and financial institutions. We are continuing to focus on improving operational efficiency and cost reductions and enhancing efficiency, as well as servicing of financial obligations: this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the necessary financing or negotiating the terms of the existing short-term liabilities to meet our current and future liquidity needs.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. Our market risk exposure is generally limited to those risks that arise in the normal course of business, as we do not engage in speculative, non-operating transactions, nor do we utilize financial instruments or derivative instruments for trading purposes.
