BIMI INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

 

BIMI International Medical, Inc. (the “Company” or “BIMI”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware as Galli Process, Inc. on October 31, 2000. On February 7, 2002, the Company changed its name to Global Broadcast Group, Inc. On November 12, 2004, the Company changed its name to Diagnostic Corporation of America. On March 15, 2007, the Company changed its name to NF Energy Saving Corporation of America, and on August 24, 2009, the Company changed its name to NF Energy Saving Corporation. On December 16, 2019, the Company changed its name to BOQI International Medical Inc., to reflect the Company’s refocus of its business from the energy saving industry to the health care industry. Since March 7, 2012, the common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) has been traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Until October 14, 2019, the Company, through NF Energy Saving Investment Limited and its subsidiaries (the “NF Group”), operated in the energy saving enhancement technology industry in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The NF Group focused on providing services relating to energy saving technology, optimization design, energy saving reconstruction of pipeline networks and contractual energy management for the electric power, petrochemical, coal, metallurgy, construction, and municipal infrastructure development industries in the PRC and the manufacture and sales of energy-saving flow control equipment. In late 2019, the Company committed to a plan to dispose of all its equity interests in the NF Group and on March 31, 2020, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “NF SPA”) to sell the NF Group. The sale of the NF Group closed on June 23, 2020. Please refer to NOTE 7 for more information relating to the sale of the NF Group.

 

The Company is a Delaware holding company with operations conducted by its subsidiaries in China. The Company is now exclusively a healthcare products and services provider, offering a broad range of healthcare products and related services and operates five private hospitals in China. Due to our operations in China, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects may be influenced to a significant degree by economic, political, legal and social conditions in the PRC or changes in government relations between China and the United States or other governments.

 

On October 14, 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in Lasting Wisdom Holdings Limited (“Lasting”), a limited company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”). Lasting has limited operating activities since incorporation except for holding the ownership interest in Pukung Limited (“Pukung”), a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong. Pukung owns 100% of the equity interest in Beijing Xinrongxin Industrial Development Co., Ltd. (“Xinrongxin”), a company organized under the laws of the PRC. Xinrongxin owns all the ownership interest of Dalian Boqi Zhengji Pharmacy Chain Co., Ltd. (“Boqi Zhengji”). Boqi Zhengji operated 16 retail pharmacy stores in China at the time of the acquisition.. Xinrongxin also owns 100% equity interests in Dalian Boyi Technology Co., Ltd. (“Dalian Boyi”), a subsidiary established in January 2020 and responsible for the Company’s R&D and other technology related functions. On June 24, 2020, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary Boyi (Liaoning) Technology Co.,Ltd (“Liaoning Boyi”), in order to be qualified to participate in local healthcare projects. On December 22, 2020, the Company established another subsidiary, Bimai Pharmaceutical (Chongqing) Co., Ltd., to replace Xinrongxin as the holding company owning all the retail, wholesale and hospital operations in China.

 

On March 18, 2020, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Xinrongxin, acquired 100% of the equity interests in Chongqing Guanzan Technology Co., Ltd. (“Guanzan”). Guanzan holds an 80% equity interest in Chongqing Shude Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Shude”, together with Guanzan, the “Guanzan Group”). Guanzan also owns 100% equity interest in Chongqing Lijiantang Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., (‘Lijiantang”), a subsidiary established in May 2020. Lijiantang operates 4 retail pharmacy stores in China (collectively, the “Lijiantang Pharmacy Group”). The Lijiantang Pharmacy Group engages in the retail sale of medicine and other healthcare products to customers through its directly-owned stores. The Lijiantang Pharmacy Group offers a wide range of products, including prescription and over-the-counter (“OTC”) drugs, nutritional supplements, traditional Chinese medicines, personal and family care products and medical devices, as well as miscellaneous items.

On December 11, 2020, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell Boqi Zhengji. The sale of the Boqi Zhengji was closed by the end of 2020, although the government record was not updated until February 2, 2021 due to the Chinese government’s alternative working schedule and other delays caused by COVID-19.

 

On December 9, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the equity interests in Chongqing Guoyitang Hospital (“Guoyitang”), the owner and operator of a private general hospital in Chongqing City, a city in Southwest China.

2. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

 

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred significant net losses of $10,533,868 and $5,276,241 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $59.3 million. In addition, the Company continues to generate operating losses and has limited cash flow from its continuing operations. Management believes these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.

 

The continuation of the Company as a going concern through the next twelve months is dependent upon (1) the continued financial support from its stockholders or external financing, and (2) further implementation of management’s business plan to generate sufficient revenues and cash flow to meet its obligations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to increase sales volume and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurance to that it will be successful in either respect.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation and consolidation

 

These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information as of September 30, 2022, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, previously filed with the SEC on September 30, 2022.

  

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2022 and its unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and its unaudited condensed consolidated cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the fiscal year or any future periods.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with the US GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions of future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty and, accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include, among others, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, collectability of accounts receivable, advances to suppliers’ allowance for doubtful accounts, reserve of inventory, fair value of goodwill and valuation of derivative liabilities. While the Company believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.

 

Business combination

 

The Company accounted for its business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred and liabilities incurred by the Company to the sellers and equity instruments issued. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of (i) the total costs of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the acquisition date amounts of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated income statements. During the measurement period, which can be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Subsequent to the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any further adjustments are recorded in the consolidated income statements.

 

8

 

 

In a business combination achieved in stages, the Company re-measures the previously held equity interest in the acquiree immediately before obtaining control at its acquisition date fair value and the re-measurement gain or loss, if any, is recognized in the consolidated income statements.

 

When there is a change in ownership interests or a change in contractual arrangements that results in a loss of control of a subsidiary, the Company deconsolidates the subsidiary from the date control is lost. Any retained non-controlling investment in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value and is included in the calculation of the gain or loss upon deconsolidation of the subsidiary.

 

Cash

 

Cash consists primarily of cash on hand and cash in banks which is readily available in checking and saving accounts. The Company maintains cash with various financial institutions in the PRC where its accounts are uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses from funds held in bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risk on its bank accounts.

 

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

 

Accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from delivery. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition, the customer credit-worthiness and their payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. At the end of each period, the Company specifically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the collection of accounts receivables. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $288,767 and $322,145, respectively.

 

Advances to suppliers

 

Advances to suppliers consist of prepayments to the Company’s vendors, such as pharmaceutical manufacturers and medicine suppliers. The Company typically prepays for the purchase of our merchandise, especially for those salable, scarce, personalized medicine or medical devices. The Company typically receive products from vendors within three to nine months after making prepayments. The Company continuously monitor delivery from, and payments to, the vendors while maintaining a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific supplier issues, such as discontinuing of inventory supply, that have been identified. If the Company has difficulty receiving products from a vendor, the Company will cease purchasing products from such vendor, request return of our prepayment promptly, and if necessary, take legal action. The Company has not taken such type of legal action during the reporting periods. If none of these steps are successful, management will then determine whether the prepayments should be reserved or written off. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts were $Nil.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Costs include the purchase price of the inventories and freight, the cost is determined using the weighted average method and net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to complete and sell products. The Company carries out physical inventory counts on a monthly basis at each store and warehouse location. The Company reviews historical sales activity quarterly to determine excess, slow moving items and potentially obsolete items. The Company provides inventory reserves based on the excess quantities on hand equal to the difference, if any, between the cost of the inventory and its estimated market value, or obsolescence of inventories determined principally by customer demand. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company recorded an allowance for obsolete inventories, which mainly consists of expired medicine, of $92,655 and $103,178 respectively.

 

Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:

 

Items 

Expected

useful lives

  Residual
value
 
Building  20 years        5%
Office equipment  3 years   5%
Electronic equipment  3 years   5%
Furniture  5 years   5%
Medical equipment  10 years   5%
Vehicles  4 years   5%
Leasehold improvements  Shorter of lease term or useful life   5%

 

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

 

9

 

 

Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets consist primarily of software of management systems. Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method with the following estimated useful lives:

 

    Expected
useful lives
Software   10 years

 

Leases

 

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02. For all leases that were entered into prior to the effective date of ASC 842, we elected to apply the package of practical expedients. Based on this guidance, the Company did not reassess the following: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases.

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of obligations under operating leases, and obligations under operating leases, non-current on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, current portion of obligations under capital leases, and obligations under capital leases, non-current on our consolidated balance sheets.

 

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date, adjusted by the deferred rent liabilities at the adoption date. 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 operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company’s terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, and is tested for impairment at least annually, more often when circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. If impairment exists, goodwill is immediately written off to its fair value and the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred. We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step will not be required.

 

10

 

 

If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to accounting for a business acquisition with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit. over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. Estimating fair value is performed by utilizing various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow. The fair value of discounted cash flow was determined using management’s estimates and assumptions.

 

Management evaluated the recoverability of goodwill by performing a qualitative assessment before using a two-step impairment test approach at the reporting unit level. If the Company reorganizes its reporting structure in a manner that changes the composition of one or more of its reporting units, goodwill will be reassigned based on the relative fair value of each of the affected reporting units. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company recorded impairment for goodwill of $Nil and $26,128,171, respectively.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets and intangibles

 

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.

 

Revenue recognition

 

We adopted Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenues from Contract with Customers (“ASC 606”) for all periods presented. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods and services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services, net of value-added tax. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

Identify the contract with a customer;

 

Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

 

Determine the transaction price;

 

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

11

 

 

The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is satisfied by the control of the promised goods and services is transferred to the customers, which at a point in time or over time as appropriate.

 

The Company’s revenue is net of value added tax (“VAT”) collected on behalf of PRC tax authorities in respect to the sales of products. VAT collected from customers, net of VAT paid for purchases, is recorded as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets until it is paid to the relevant PRC tax authorities

 

The primary sources of the Company’s revenues are as follows:

 

(1)Wholesale medical devices

 

The Company’s sales of wholesale medical devices are made mainly through Guanzan,. The medical device business primarily involves purchasing wholesale medical devices from manufacturers and suppliers and then reselling them to customers. Upon obtaining purchase orders, the medical devices segment instructs its warehouse agent to transfer ownership of products to customers. The transaction is normally completed within a short period of time, ranging from a few days to a month. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the goods to customers.

 

(2)Wholesale pharmaceuticals

 

The Company’s sales of wholesale pharmaceuticals are made mainly through Pusheng and Zhuoda. The wholesale pharmaceuticals business primarily involves purchasing wholesale pharmaceuticals from manufacturers and suppliers and then reselling them to customers. Upon obtaining purchase orders, the wholesale pharmaceutical segment instructs its warehouse agent to transfer ownership of products to customers. The transaction is normally completed within a short period of time, ranging from a few days to a month. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the goods to customers.

 

(3)Medical services

 

The medical service segment operates five hospitals. For outpatient services, the patient normally receives outpatient treatment which consists of various treatment components. Outpatient services generally consist of more than one performance obligation, including (i) provision of consultation services (ii) provision of medical care (procedures) and (iii) sale of pharmaceutical products. The medical service segment allocates the transaction price for each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. Revenues from both the (i) provision of consultation services (ii) provision of medical care (procedures and (iii) sale of pharmaceutical products for which service is rendered or pharmaceutical products is transferred at a point in time, is recognized when the service is rendered or pharmaceutical products transferred to customers, and the hospital has satisfied its performance obligations, with present right to payment and the collection of the consideration is certainty.

 

For inpatient services, patients normally receive inpatient treatment which consists of various treatment components. Inpatient services generally consist of more than one performance obligation, including the (i) provision of inpatient healthcare services and (ii) sale of pharmaceutical products. The hospitals allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. Revenues from provision of inpatient healthcare services is recognized over the service period when customers simultaneously receive the services and consume the benefits provided by the hospitals.

 

Revenues from the sale of pharmaceutical products is recognized when the customer obtains the control of the completed services or pharmaceutical products, and the hospitals has satisfied its performance obligations, with present right to payment and the collection of the consideration is certain.

 

(4)Pharmacy retail sales

 

The physical pharmacies sell prescription drugs, over-the-counter (“OTC”) drugs, nutritional supplements, health foods, sundry products and medical devices. Revenue from sales of prescription medicine at drugstores is recognized when the prescription is filled and the customer picks up and pays for the prescription. Revenue from sales of other merchandise is recognized at the point of sale, which is when a customer pays for and receives the merchandise. Usually the merchandise, such as prescription and OTC drugs, are not refundable after the customers leaves the counter. Returns of other products, such as sundry products, are minimal. Sales of drugs reimbursed by the local government medical insurance agency and receivables from the agency are recognized when a customer pays for the drugs at a store. Based on historical experience, the pharmacy group reserves for potential losses from the denial of reimbursement for certain unqualified drugs by the government agency.

 

Cost of revenue

 

Cost of revenue consists primarily of cost of goods purchased from suppliers plus direct material costs for packaging and storage, direct labor, which are directly attributable to the acquisition and maintaining of products for sales. Cost of revenues also include impairment loss for products which are obsolete or expired for sale, if any. Shipping and handling costs, associated with the distribution of finished products to customers, are borne by the customers.

 

12

 

 

Comprehensive income

 

ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

 

Beneficial conversion feature

 

The Company evaluates the conversion feature to determine whether it was beneficial as described in ASC 470-20. The intrinsic value of a beneficial conversion feature inherent to a convertible note payable, which is not bifurcated and accounted for separately from the convertible notes payable and may not be settled in cash upon conversion, is treated as a discount to the convertible notes payable. This discount is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the date the notes is due using the effective interest method. If the notes payable is retired prior to the end of their contractual term, the unamortized discount is expensed in the period of retirement to interest expense. In general, the beneficial conversion feature is measured by comparing the effective conversion price, after considering the relative fair value of detachable instruments included in the financing transaction, if any, to the fair value of the shares of common stock at the commitment date to be received upon conversion.

 

Income taxes

 

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company did not incur any interest or penalties associated with tax positions. As of September 30, 2022, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company conducts all its business in the PRC and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its corporate structure the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by a foreign tax authority.

 

Value added tax

 

Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold, net of VAT. All the Company’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a VAT on the gross sales price. The VAT rates range up to 13%, depending on the type of products sold. The VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on its purchase activities of merchandises, raw materials, utilities, and other materials which cost was included in the cost of producing or acquiring its products for sales. The Company records a VAT payable net of payments if the VAT payable on the gross sales is larger than VAT paid by the Company on purchase of finished goods; on the other hand, the Company records a VAT deductible in the accompanying financial statements net of any VAT payable at the end of reporting period.

 

Convertible promissory notes

 

The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Debt issuance costs and debt discounts

 

The Company may record debt issuance costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt. These costs may be paid in the form of cash, or equity (such as warrants). These costs are amortized to interest expense through the maturity of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs prior to maturity a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

 

Derivative instruments

 

The Company has entered financing arrangements that consist of freestanding derivative instruments or are hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative features. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”) as well as related interpretation of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, giving consideration to all of the rights and obligations of each instrument.

 

13

 

 

We estimate fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered to be consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, we consider, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as free-standing warrants, we generally use the Black-Scholes model, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms, dilution and risk-free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes. Under the terms of the new accounting standard, increases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and increases in fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative expense. Conversely, decreases in the trading price of the company’s common stock and decreases in trading fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative income.

 

Net loss per share

 

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar (“US$”). The Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC maintain their books and records in their local currency, the Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”), which is the functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate.

 

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets, and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

 

Translation of amounts from RMB into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective period:

 

   September 30,
2022
   September 30,
2021
 
Period-end RMB:US$1 exchange rate   7.0998    6.4854 
Nine months end average RMB:US$1 exchange rate   6.6068    6.4714

Related parties

 

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

 

Segment reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about the type of products and services, geographical areas, business strategies and major customers in business components. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company operated in four reportable segments: wholesale pharmaceuticals, wholesale medical devices, medical services and retail pharmacy in the PRC.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding short-term bank borrowing and convertible promissory notes): cash and cash equivalents, accounts and retention receivable, prepayments and other receivables, accounts payable, income tax payable, amounts due to related parties’ other payables and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of its obligation under its finance lease and short-term bank borrowing approximates the carrying amount.

 

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1: Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;

 

  Level 2: Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g., Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs; and
     
  Level 3: Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.

 

15

 

 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

 

The carrying amount of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other receivable, bank credit, accounts payable and other accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326)”, which significantly changes the way entities recognize impairment of many financial assets by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over their remaining life, instead of when incurred. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”, which amends Subtopic 326-20 (created by ASU No.2016-13) to explicitly state that operating lease receivables are not in the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Additionally, in April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No.2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments”, in May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief”, and in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates”, and ASU No. 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”, to provide further clarifications on certain aspects of ASU No. 2016-13 and to extend the nonpublic entity effective date of ASU No. 2016-13. The changes (as amended) are effective for the Company for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and the Company is in the process of evaluating the potential effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. Step two of the goodwill impairment test measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with its carrying amount. As amended by ASU 2019-10, annual or interim goodwill impairment tests are performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We do not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”) “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06 will simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public entities which meet the definition of a smaller reporting company are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company will adopt ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2024. Management is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on the consolidated financial statements. The effect will largely depend on the composition and terms of the financial instruments at the time of adoption.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

4. THE ACQUISITION OF THE GUANZAN GROUP

 

On February 1, 2020, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to purchase the Guanzan Group (the “Guanzan SPA”). Guanzan is a distributor of medical devices whose customers are primarily drug stores, private clinics, pharmaceutical dealers and hospitals in the Southwest of China (the “Guanzan Acquisition”). Guanzan holds business licenses in the PRC such as a Business Permit for Medical Devices and a Recordation Certificate for Business Activities Involving Class II Medical Devices, etc., which qualify Guanzan to engage in the distribution of medical devices in the PRC. Pursuant to the Guanzan SPA, we agreed to purchase all the issued and outstanding shares of the Guanzan Group (the “Guanzan Shares”) for RMB 100,000,000 (approximately $14,285,714) to be paid by the issuance of 190,000 shares of Common Stock and the payment of RMB 80,000,000 (approximately $11,428,571) in cash. The stock consideration was payable at closing and the cash consideration, which was subject to post-closing adjustments based on the performance of the Guanzan Group in the years ending December 31, 2020, and 2021, respectively, was to be paid pursuant to a post-closing payment schedule. The transaction closed on March 18, 2020. Upon the closing, 100% of the Guanzan Shares were transferred to the Company and the stock consideration was issued to the seller.

 

On November 20, 2020, the parties to the Guanzan SPA entered into a Prepayment and Amendment Agreement (the “Prepayment Agreement”) for the prepayment of a portion of the Guanzan cash consideration in the amount of RMB 20,000,000 (the “Prepayment”), in the form of shares of Common Stock valued at $15.00 per share, in light of Guanzan’s performance during the period from March 18, 2020, to September 30, 2020. On November 30, 2020, 200,000 shares of our Common Stock were issued to the designated assignees of the seller as the prepayment. Upon the approval of the Company’s shareholders, on August 27, 2021, the Company issued 920,000 shares of Common Stock as payment in full for the balance of the post-closing cash consideration for the acquisition of Guanzan.

18. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES AND EMBEDDED DERIVATIVE INSTRUCTIONS

 

On May 18, 2020, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “May SPA”) with two institutional investors (the “Institutional Investors”) to sell convertible notes having a face amount of $6,550,000 at an aggregate original issue discount of 19.85% (the “2020 Notes”) and ranking senior to all outstanding and future indebtedness of the Company. The 2020 Notes do not bear interest except upon the occurrence of an event of default. Each Institutional Investor also received a warrant (each an “Institutional Investor 2020 Warrant”) to purchase 325,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $14.225 per share (post-Split price (as defined below) and subject to the Event Market Price Adjustment). The placement agent for the private placement received a warrant (the “Placement Agent 2020 Warrant”, together with the Institutional Investor 2020 Warrants, the “2020 Warrants”) to purchase up to 10% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued in the private placement at an initial exercise price of $14.225 per share (post-Split price and subject to the Event Market Price Adjustment), subject to increase based on the number of shares Common Stock issued pursuant to the 2020 Notes.

 

Pursuant to the May SPA, two 2020 Notes, each in the face amount of $2,225,000, were issued to the Institutional Investors in consideration of the payment of $1,750,000 in cash for each 2020 Note.

 

The May SPA, the 2020 Notes and the warrants provide that each and every reference to share prices, shares of Common Stock and any other numbers therein that relate to the Common Stock will be automatically adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Common Stock (each, a “Stock Combination Event”, and such date thereof, the “Stock Combination Event Date”) thereafter. The May SPA, the 2020 Notes and the 2020 Warrants further provide if after a Stock Combination Event, the Event Market Price is less than the conversion price (in the case of the Convertible Notes) or the exercise price (in the case of the warrants) then in effect (after giving effect to the above adjustments), then on the sixteenth (16th) trading day immediately following such Stock Combination Event Date, the conversion price or exercise then in effect on such sixteenth (16th) trading day (after giving effect to the above adjustments) will be reduced (but in no event increased) to the Event Market Price. “Event Market Price” means, with respect to any Stock Combination Event Date, the quotient determined by dividing (x) the sum of the dollar volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock for each of the five (5) trading days with the lowest dollar volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock during the fifteen (15) consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the sixteenth (16th) trading day after such Stock Combination Event Date, divided by (y) five (5). The price adjustment described in this paragraph is hereinafter referred to as the “Event Market Price Adjustment.”

The 2020 Notes, which matured on the eighteen-month anniversary of the issuance date, were payable in installments and convertible at the election of the investors at the conversion price of $12.95 per share (post-Split Price and subject to the Event Market Price Adjustment), subject to adjustment in the event of default. Each investor also received a warrant to purchase 130,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $14.23 per share (post-Split Price and subject to the Event Market Price Adjustment). The placement agent for the private placement received a warrant to purchase up to 34,369 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $14.23 per share (post-Split Price and subject to the Event Market Price Adjustment), subject to increase based on the number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the 2020 Notes. Pursuant to the May SPA, additional convertible notes in an aggregate original face amount not to exceed $2,100,000 (the “Additional Notes”) could also be issued to the Institutional Investors under certain circumstances.

 

On February 24, 2021, we entered into an amendment to the May SPA with the Institutional Investors to increase the amount of the Additional Notes by $3,300,000 to $5,400,000. On February 26, 2021, Additional Notes in an aggregate original principal amount of $5,400,000 were issued to the Institutional Investors, together with the issuance of warrants to acquire an aggregate of 152,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $14.23 per share (post-Split Price and subject to the Event Market Price Adjustment). The placement agent for the private placement received a warrant to purchase up to 34,749 shares of our Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $14.23 per share post-Split Price and (subject to the Event Market Price Adjustment), subject to increase based on the number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Additional Notes.

 

On November 18, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “November SPA”) with the same two Institutional Investors to sell them a series of senior convertible notes (the “2021 Notes”) with an original issue discount of 20% and ranking senior to all outstanding and future indebtedness of the Company in a private placement. Each Institutional Investor paid $3,250,000 in cash for a 2021 Note in the face amount of $3,900,000. The November SPA also provided for the issuance of additional 2021 Notes in an aggregate original principal amount not to exceed $3,900,000 under certain circumstances. The November SPA also contains provisions about the Market Event Price. The 2021 Notes, which were issued on November 22, 2021, mature on the eighteen-month anniversary of the issuance date, are payable by the Company in installments and are convertible at the election of the Institutional Investors at the conversion price of $3.25 (post-Split Price and subject to the Event Market Price Adjustment), which is subject to adjustment in the event of default. Each Institutional Investor also received a warrant (the “Institutional Investor 2021 Warrant”) to purchase 180,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $3.55 per share (subject to the Event Market Price Adjustment). The placement agent for the private placement received a warrant (the “Placement Agent 2021 Warrant”, together with the Institutional Investor 2021 Warrant, the “2021 Warrants”) to purchase up to 8% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock in the private placement at an initial exercise price of $3.55 per share (post-Split Price and subject to the Event Market Price Adjustment), subject to increase based on the number of shares Common Stock issued pursuant to the 2021 Notes.

 

The Company implemented a reverse stock split (the “Split”) on February 2, 2022, at the ratio of 5 to 1. The 2020 Notes were fully converted before the Split, and therefore no price adjustment was actually implemented at the conversion, although the price information provided above about the 2020 Notes was post-split price. The conversion price of the 2021 Notes and the exercise price of the 2020 Warrants and the 2021 Warrants will be adjusted pursuant to the Event Market Price formula upon conversion or exercise. The outstanding balance for the convertible promissory notes as of September 30, 2022 is $6,320,075

Upon evaluation, the Company determined that the two agreements contained embedded beneficial conversion features which met the definition of Debt with Conversion and Other Options covered under the Accounting Standards Codification topic 470 (“ASC 470”). According to ASC 470, an embedded beneficial conversion feature present in a convertible instrument shall be recognized separately at issuance by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital.

Convertible note – discount   (1,479,925)   (2,588,840)

Total

  $6,320,075   $5,211,160 

 

Additionally, the Company accounted for the embedded conversion option liability in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”) as well as related interpretation of this standard. In accordance with these standards, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, giving consideration to all of the rights and obligations of each instrument. The initial fair value of the embedded conversion option liability associated with each Note was valued using the Black-Scholes model. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model are as follows:

 

   September 30,
2022
   December 31,
2021
 
Dividend yield  $0%  $0%
Expected volatility   171%   171%
Risk free interest rate   0.87%   0.87%
Expected life (year)   0.42    1.42 

 

The value of the conversion option liability underlying the Notes and Convertible Notes as of September 30, 2022, and December 31,2021 were nil. The Company recognized a loss from the increase in the fair value of the conversion option liability in the amount of nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021.

23. SEGMENTS

 

General Information of Reportable Segments:

 

The Company operates in four reportable segments: wholesale medical devices, wholesale pharmaceuticals, medical services, and retail pharmacy. The retail pharmacy segment sells prescription and OTC medicines, traditional Chinese medicines (“TCM”), healthcare supplies, and sundry items to retail customers through its directly-owned pharmacies and authorized retail stores. The wholesale pharmaceuticals segment includes supplying prescription and OTC medicines, TCM, healthcare supplies and sundry items to clinics, third party pharmacies, hospitals, and other drug vendors. The medical services segment includes the hospitals acquired in February 2021.

 

To date, there were no inter-segment revenues between the four segments.

 

The segments’ accounting policies are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, who is the CEO of the Company, evaluates performance of each of the segments based on profit or loss from continuing operations net of income tax.

 

The Company’s reportable business segments are strategic business units that offer different products. Each segment is managed independently because they require different operations and markets to distinct classes of customers.

Information about Reported Segment Profit or Loss and Segment Assets

 

BIMI, as the holding company, incurred a significant amount of general operating expenses, such as financing costs, that the Company’s chief operating decision maker did not allocate to segments to evaluate the segments performance and allocate recourses of the Company. In addition, except for depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, the Company does not allocate the change in fair value of derivative liabilities and the amortization of discount of convertible notes to reporting segments in its reported profit or loss. The following amounts were used by the chief operating decision maker.

(b)Geographic areas information

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, all the Company’s revenues were generated in the PRC. There were no long-lived assets located outside of the PRC as of September 30, 2022, and 2021.

 

(c)Major customers

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues.

Vendors  Segment  Purchases   Percentage of 
total purchases
 
Vendor A  Medicines  $2,152,995    17%
Vendor B  Medical devices  $1,903,776    15%

 

Concentrations of Risk

 

The Company is exposed to the following concentrations of risk:

 

(a)Credit risk

 

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require prepayments or deposits from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

 

(b)Interest rate risk

 

The Company’s interest-rate risk arises from convertible promissory notes, short-term and long-term loans. The Company manages interest rate risk by varying the issuance and maturity dates, fixing interest rate of debt, limiting the amount of debt, and continually monitoring the effects of market changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, the Notes, short-term and long-term loans were at fixed rates.

 

(c)Exchange rate risk

 

Substantially all of the Company’s revenues and a majority of its costs are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of its assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. As a result, the Company’s results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and RMB. If the RMB depreciates against the US$, the value of RMB revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial market risk.

 

32

 

 

(d)Economic and political risks

 

The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operation may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy. The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic has expanded all over the world since the beginning of 2020, which has greatly slowed the growth of the global economy, including the PRC, and this effect may continue until the pandemic is controlled, or a vaccine or cure is developed. The slowdown of the growth of the PRC’s economy has adversely effected our current business and future success will be adversely affected if we are unable to capitalize on the opportunities arising from the increasing demand for medicine and medical devices in the markets in which we operate.

 

The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.

 

(e)Enforcement risks

 

The PRC People’s Supreme Court adopted rules in 2010 which restrict parties who are subject to effective court enforcement orders for monetary judgements from extravagant spending until the monetary judgments have been satisfied. According to those rules, if a company becomes subject to a court enforcement order due to failure to satisfy a monetary judgement, the company’s name will appear on a defaulters’ list published by the Chinese courts and the company together with its legal representative and responsible person will be prohibited from using the company property for extravagant spending such as buying real property, vacationing and paying for children’s private school education, until, among other conditions, the monetary judgment has been satisfied. Boqi Zhengji and Nengfa Energy are currently on the defaulters’ list due to their failure to pay off several monetary judgments.

 

26. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On October 19, 2022, BIMI International Medical Inc. (the “Registrant” or the “Company”) entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chongqing Zhuoda Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Zhuoda”), a distributor of pharmaceuticals and biologicals located in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) to three citizens of the PRC who previously sold Zhuoda to the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Chongqing Guanzan Technology Co., Ltd. (“Guanzan”), will sell 100% of the equity interests in Zhuoda that Guanzan previously purchased for 440,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which purchase price was subject to post-closing payments based on performance in 2022 and 2023. The 440,000 shares will be returned to the Company as the full consideration of the sale of the interests in Zhouda.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Report.

 

Certain statements in this Report constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, regarding, among other things, (a) our projected sales, profitability, and cash flows, (b) our growth strategy, (c) anticipated trends in our industry, (d) our future financing plans, and (e) our anticipated needs for, and use of, working capital. They are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend,” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this filing will in fact occur. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

 

The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

As used herein the terms “we”, “us”, “our,” “BIMI” and the “Company” mean, BIMI International Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its subsidiaries.

 

OVERVIEW

 

We are Delaware holding company with operations conducted by our subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”) and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the PRC. Due to our operations in China, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects may be influenced to a significant degree by economic, political, legal and social conditions in the PRC or changes in government relations between China and the United States or other governments. There is significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and China with respect to trade policies, treaties, government regulations and tariffs. China’s economy differs from the economies of other countries in many respects, including with respect to the level of development, growth rate, amount of government involvement, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. While China’s economy has experienced significant growth over the past four decades, growth has been uneven across different regions and among various economic sectors. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic development and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. In addition, in the past the Chinese government implemented certain measures, including interest rate increases, to manage the pace of economic growth and prevent the economy from overheating. These measures may cause decreased economic activity in China, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

Additionally, the Chinese government has published new policies that significantly affect certain industries such as the education and internet industries, and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will in the future release regulations or policies regarding our industry that could require us to obtain additional permission from Chinese authorities to continue to operate our business in China, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, statements made by the Chinese government have indicated an intent to increase the government’s oversight and control over offerings of companies with significant operations in China that are to be conducted in foreign markets.

 

34

 

 

In light of such developments, the SEC has imposed enhanced disclosure requirements on China-based companies seeking to register securities with the SEC. Any future PRC, U.S. or other rules and regulations that place restrictions on capital raising or other activities by companies with extensive operations in China could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Any such action, once taken by the Chinese government, could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors, and could cause the value of our Common Stock to significantly decline or become worthless. If the business environment in China deteriorates from the perspective of domestic or international investment, or if relations between China and the United States or other governments deteriorate, our business in China and United States may also be adversely affected.

 

The PRC government’s significant authority in regulating our operations and its oversight could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to conduct our business. Implementation of industry-wide regulations, including data security or anti-monopoly related regulations, may cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be of little or no value.

 

History

 

From 2007 until October 2019, we, through the NF Group, were engaged in the energy efficiency enhancement business. With the decline in the constructions of power generation plants and municipal water, gas, heat, and energy pipelines in China due to a policy change by the PRC government, the demand for our products and services declined markedly. As a result, our energy efficiency enhancement business, incurred operating losses in each of the last seven years, especially in 2018, when the PRC government adopted a series of policies to favor more environmentally friendly projects and products. Our net loss from the operation of the energy efficiency enhancement business was $16.79 million in 2018 and $2.18 million in 2019. We explored many different alternatives in an effort to revive this business, including attempts to expand into international markets, before we determined this business was not sustainable for us. In late 2019, we committed to a plan to dispose of the NF Group and on June 30, 2020, we entered into an agreement for the sale of the NF Group. The sale closed on June 23, 2020, when the $10 million sales price was paid to us in full.

 

Our current operations are focused on the healthcare industry in the PRC. On October 14, 2019, we acquired Boqi Zhengji, an operator of a pharmacy chain in the PRC. This was the first step of our shift of focus from the energy sector to the healthcare business. Boqi Zhengji, however, suffered significant setbacks during 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic caused the pharmacy stores to record almost no sales for several months due to the national shutdown order and other government orders specifically targeting OTC drugs. To avoid exposing our other business to further risks and potential joint liabilities, we decided to divest the pharmacy chain. On December 11, 2020, we entered into an agreement to sell Boqi Zhengji for $1,700,000 in cash. On December 18, 2020, we received the full consideration from the buyer and the control of the Boqi Zhengji business was transferred. Due to the Chinese government’s alternative working schedule and other delays caused by COVID-19, the government record reflecting the transfer of ownership was not updated until February 2, 2021.

 

The disposal of NF Group and Boqi Zhengji and the actions taken to fulfill the plans resulted in our classifying the businesses of NF Group and Boqi Zhengji as discontinued operations according to ASC 205-20 Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operation. As a result, all of the assets and liabilities of the NF Group were reclassified as assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation in the statement of position as of December 31, 2020, and 2019 and the results of the operation are presented under the line-item net loss from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. All of the assets and liabilities of Boqi Zhengji were reclassified as assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation in the statement of position as of December 31, 2020 and the results of the operation are presented under the line item net loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.

On March 18, 2020, we completed the acquisition of Chongqing Guanzan Technology Co., Ltd. (“Guanzan”), a distributor of medical devices. The rationale for the acquisition was for us to further expand our healthcare operation by acquiring a medical devices and pharmaceuticals distribution business. We believed that Guanzan has strong sales capabilities and procurement resources in the local area of Chongqing, the largest city in Southwest region of the PRC. The acquisition was in line with our expansion strategy, which focuses on deeper penetration of the healthcare market in the Southwest region of China and gaining a wider footprint in the PRC.

 

On February 2, 2021, we acquired Chongqing Guoyitang Hospital (“Guoyitang”), a private general hospital in Chongqing with 50 hospital beds and 98 employees. The Guoyitang acquisition was the first step in our efforts to build a hospital chain specializing in obstetrics and gynecology.

 

On February 8, 2021, we acquired Chaohu Zhongshan Minimally Invasive Hospital (“Zhongshan”), a private hospital in the southeast region of China with 160 hospital beds (of which 110 beds were then in use) and 95 employees. Zhongshan is a general hospital known for its complex minimally invasive surgeries and equipped with high-end diagnostics equipment and surgical instruments for gynecology and obstetrics use. The Zhongshan acquisition marks the second step in our efforts to establish a nationwide hospital chain specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. 

 

On May 6, 2021, we acquired three private hospitals, Wuzhou Qiangsheng Hospital Co.,Ltd.(“Qiangsheng”) in the southeast region of the PRC, Suzhou Eurasia Hospital Co.,Ltd. (“Eurasia”) in the central region of the PRC and Yunan Yuxi Minkang Hospital Co.,Ltd.(“Minkang”) in the southwest region of the PRC. Qiangsheng, Eurasia and Minkang were owned by the same owners. Qiangsheng has 20 hospital beds and is a general hospital locally known for its OB/GYN and Chinese traditional medicine specialties. Eurasia has 30 hospital beds. Minkang has 120 hospital beds and is a general hospital locally known for its OB/GYN and Chinese traditional medicine specialties.

 

On October 8, 2021, we acquired Chongqing Zhuoda Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Zhuoda”), a company engaged in the distribution of medical devices and pharmaceuticals, based in Chongqing, the largest city in Southwest region of the PRC. Zhuoda primarily distributes pharmaceuticals. The majority of its customers are private pharmaceutical manufacturers and pharmaceutical wholesale companies in the PRC.

 

On December 20, 2021, we entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire Bengbu Mali OB-GYN Hospital Co., Ltd. (“Mali Hospital”), a private OB-GYN specialty hospital with 199 beds located in Bengbu city in the southeast region of the People’s Republic of China. Mali Hospital has 148 employees, including 26 doctors, 52 nurses, 11 other medical staff members and 59 nonmedical staff members. The acquisition of Mali Hospital has not closed as of the date of this report due to delays caused by COVID-19 and other logistical issues.

 

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

The Company currently operates in four reportable segments: retail pharmacy, wholesale pharmaceuticals, wholesale medical devices and medical services. The wholesale pharmaceuticals segment includes supplying prescription and OTC medicines, TCM, healthcare supplies and sundry items to clinics, third party pharmacies, hospitals, and other drug wholesalers. There were no inter-segment revenues between our retail pharmacy and wholesale pharmaceuticals segments. The wholesale medical device segment distributes medical devices, including medical consumables to private clinics, hospitals, third party pharmacies and other medical device dealers. Medical services include private comprehensive hospitals operating in China. The retail pharmacy segment sells prescription and OTC medicines, TCM, healthcare supplies and sundry items to retail customers through its directly-owned pharmacies and authorized retail stores.

 

The Company’s reportable business segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. Each segment is managed independently because they require different operations and markets to distinct classes of customers. The segments’ accounting policies are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is the CEO of the Company, evaluates performance of each segment based on profit or loss from continuing operations net of income tax.

GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

 

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net losses of $10,533,868 and $5,276,241 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $58.4 million. In addition, the Company continues to generate operating losses and has limited cash flow from its continuing operations. Management believes these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.

 

The continuation of the Company as a going concern through the next twelve months is dependent upon (1) the continued financial support from its stockholders or external financing, and (2) further implement management’s business plan to extend its operations and generate sufficient revenues and cash flow to meet its obligations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to increase sales volume and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in either respect.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

COVID-19

 

During late 2019, a virus now known as the novel coronavirus or “COVID-19” appeared in Wuhan, PRC. By March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) labeled COVID-19 as a pandemic and many countries around the world began closing borders and making efforts to either shelter-in-place or quarantine its population. During the first quarter of 2020, the PRC placed a mandatory quarantine on certain areas, specifically in Wuhan located in Hubei Province, which lasted for more than two months.

 

Our company and all of its operations are located in the PRC. Since the pandemic broke out, our operations have been materially impacted. At the beginning of February 2020, the PRC government issued a quarantine order, which lasted for more than two months in many parts of the country, where everyone had to stay at home. During February and March, all of our administrative functions had to be performed remotely. Not until the beginning of April did we start to have a small skeleton crew working in our office and were able to perform those functions that could not be handled remotely. 

 

37

 

 

We have incurred additional costs to ensure we meet the needs of our customers, including providing additional cleaning materials for our stores and other facilities. COVID-19 has also caused supply chain disruption which has resulted in higher supply chain costs to replenish inventory in our stores and distribution centers. Furthermore, we have experienced restricted stock availability in a number of key categories which negatively impacted us. Certain popular and high profit margin products could not be sold due to governmental restrictive orders, which also resulted in the expiration of a large quantify of our medicines that are otherwise in high demand in the winter season. The customer traffic in our retail pharmacy stores in Dalian dropped greatly due to the pandemic. Because of the lockdown order that lasted for more than two months, we suffered reduced sales and an operating loss in the first three quarters in 2020. Although some of the businesses in China have resumed their daily activities while the pandemic is under control, there have been relapses in certain regions of the country which caused temporary lockdowns. If similar lockdown orders or sales restrictions are implemented by the government, they may have greater impact on our business.

 

We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact our customers, employees, suppliers, vendors, business partners and distribution channels. The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption, which will adversely affect our business operations and may materially and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial position. In addition to volatility in consumer demand and buying habits, we may restrict the operations of our stores or distribution facilities if we deem it necessary or if recommended or mandated by governmental authorities which would have a further adverse impact on us. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our revenue decreased by approximately $8 million compared to the same period in 2021, which decrease was attributable in part to the impact of COVID-19 as the PRC government’s strict control measures have continued in 2022 based on each city’s situation.

 

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts us will depend on numerous evolving factors and future developments that we are not able to predict, including: the severity of the virus; the duration of the outbreak; governmental, business and other actions (which could include limitations on our operations or mandates to provide products or services); the promotion of social distancing and the adoption of shelter-in-place orders affecting foot traffic in stores; the impacts on our supply chain; the impact of the pandemic on economic activity; the extent and duration of the effect on consumer confidence and spending, customer demand and buying patterns including spend on discretionary categories; the health of and the effect on our workforce and our ability to meet staffing needs in our stores, hospitals, wholesale operations and other critical functions, particularly if members of our work force are quarantined as a result of exposure; any impairment in value of our tangible or intangible assets which could be recorded as a result of a weaker economic conditions; and the potential effects on our internal controls including those over financial reporting as a result of changes in working environments such as shelter-in-place and similar orders that are applicable to our team members and business partners, among others. In addition, if the pandemic continues to create disruptions or turmoil in the credit or financial markets, it could adversely affect our ability to access capital on favorable terms and continue to meet our liquidity needs, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. We cannot make any assurances that COVID-19 will not reappear with new infections and to the extent that COVID-19, or another virus appears, we may encounter prolonged operational lockdown measures which would disrupt our business operations.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue, receivable, inventory, and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

38

 

 

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from delivery. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition, the customer credit-worthiness and their payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. At the end of each period, the Company specifically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the collection of accounts receivables. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $288,767 and $322,145, respectively.

 

Advances to suppliers

 

Advances to suppliers consist of prepayments to the Company’s vendors, such as pharmaceutical manufacturers and medicine suppliers. The Company typically prepays for the purchase of our merchandise, especially for those salable, scarce, personalized medicine or medical devices. The Company typically receive products from vendors within three to nine months after making prepayments. The Company continuously monitor delivery from, and payments to, the vendors while maintaining a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific supplier issues, such as discontinuing of inventory supply, that have been identified. If the Company has difficulty receiving products from a vendor, the Company will cease purchasing products from such vendor, request return of our prepayment promptly, and if necessary, take legal action. The Company has not taken such type of legal action during the reporting periods. If none of these steps are successful, management will then determine whether the prepayments should be reserved or written off. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts were $Nil.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method, and market value is the middle (the second highest) value among an inventory item’s replacement cost, market celling and market floor. The Company carries out physical inventory counts on a monthly basis at each store and warehouse location. The Company reviews historical sales activity quarterly to determine excess, slow-moving items and potentially obsolete items. The Company provides inventory reserve based on the excess quantities on hand equal to the difference, if any, between the cost of the inventory and its estimated market value, or obsolescence of inventories determined principally by customer demand. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company recorded an allowance for obsolete inventories, which mainly consists of expired medicine, of $92,655 and $103,178, respectively.

 

39

 

 

Property, plant, and equipment

 

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:

 

Items  Expected
useful lives
  Residual
value
 
Building  20 years   5%
Office equipment  3 years       5%
Electronic equipment  3 years   5%
Furniture  5 years   5%
Medical equipment  10 years   5%
Vehicles  4 years   5%
Leasehold Improvements  Shorter of lease term or useful life   5%

 

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

 

Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets consist primarily of management system software. Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method with the following estimated useful lives:

 

   Expected
useful lives
Software  10 years

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of an acquired business. In accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill, and Other Intangible Assets, recorded goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if there are indicators of impairment present.

 

Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on at least an annual basis or when an event occurs, or circumstances change that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. These events or circumstances include a significant change in stock prices, business environment, legal factors, financial performances, competition, or events affecting the reporting unit. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The estimation of fair value of a reporting unit using a discounted cash flow methodology also requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for the Company’s business, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. The estimates used to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit change from year to year based on operating results and market conditions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and goodwill impairment for the reporting unit.

 

The Company identified reporting units at the lowest level within the entity at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Management evaluated the recoverability of goodwill by performing a qualitative assessment before using a two-step impairment test approach at the reporting unit level. If the Company reorganizes its reporting structure in a manner that will changes the composition of one or more of its reporting units, goodwill is reassigned based on the relative fair value of each of the affected reporting units.

 

Revenue recognition

 

We adopted Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenues from Contract with Customers (“ASC 606”) for all periods presented. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods and services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services, net of value-added tax. We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

Identify the contract with a customer;
   
Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
   
Determine the transaction price;
   
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
   
Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

40

 

 

The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is satisfied by the control of the promised goods and services is transferred to the customers, which at a point in time or over time as appropriate.

 

Our revenues are net of value added tax (“VAT”) collected on behalf of PRC tax authorities in respect to the sales of merchandise. VAT collected from customers, net of VAT paid for purchases, is recorded as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets until it is paid to the relevant PRC tax authorities

 

The primary sources of the Group’s revenues are as follows:

 

(1)Pharmacy retail sales

 

The physical pharmacies sell prescription drugs, over-the-counter (“OTC”) drugs, nutritional supplements, health foods, sundry products and medical devices. Revenue from sales of prescription medicine at drugstores is recognized when the prescription is filled, and the customer picks up and pays for the prescription. Revenue from sales of other merchandise at drugstores is recognized at the point of sale, which is when a customer pays for and receives the merchandise. Usually the majority merchandise, such as prescription and OTC drugs, are not refundable after the customers leave the counter. Returns of other products, such as sundry products, are minimal. Sales of drugs reimbursed by the local government medical insurance agency and receivables from the agency are recognized when a customer pays for the drugs at a store. The Company based on historical experience, a reserve for potential losses from denial of reimbursement on certain unqualified drugs is made to the receivables from the government agency.

 

(2)Wholesale medical device

 

The Group sales of wholesale medical device mainly through Guanzan, The medical device business primarily involves purchasing wholesale medical device from the suppliers and then selling to customers. Upon obtaining purchase orders, the Company instructs warehouse agent to transfer ownership of products to customers. The transaction is normally completed within a short period of time, ranging from a few days to a month. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the goods to customers.

 

(3)Wholesale pharmaceuticals

 

The Group sales of wholesale pharmaceuticals mainly through Shude, Pusheng and Zhuoda. The wholesale pharmaceuticals business primarily involves purchasing wholesale pharmaceuticals from the suppliers and then selling to customers. Upon obtaining purchase orders, the Company instructs warehouse agent to transfer ownership of products to customers. The transaction is normally completed within a short period of time, ranging from a few days to a month. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the goods to customers.

 

(4)Medical services

 

The Company provides medical services through Guoyitang hospital, Zhongshan hospital, Qiangsheng hospital, Eurasia hospital and Mingkang hospital. Revenue from ancillary medical services is recognized when the related services have been rendered and includes outpatient and inpatient services.

 

For outpatient services, the patient normally receives outpatient treatment which contains various treatment components. Outpatient services contain more than one performance obligations, including (i) provision of consultation services and (ii) sale of pharmaceutical products. The Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on relative stand-alone selling price basis. Both (i) provision of consultation services and (ii) sale of pharmaceutical products for which the control of services or pharmaceutical products is transferred at a point in time, revenue is recognized when the customer obtains the control of the completed services or pharmaceutical products, and the Group has satisfied its performance obligations with present right to payment and the collection of the consideration is probable.

 

For inpatient services, the customers normally receive inpatient treatment which contains various treatment components. Inpatient services contain more than one performance obligations, including (i) sale of pharmaceutical products and (ii) provision of inpatient healthcare services. The Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis.

 

For revenue from (i) sale of pharmaceutical products for which control of services or pharmaceutical products is transferred at a point in time, revenue is recognized when the customer obtains the control of the completed services or pharmaceutical products, and the Group has satisfied its performance obligations with present right to payment and the collection of the consideration is probable.

 

For revenue from (ii) provision of inpatient healthcare services, the corresponding revenue is recognized over the service period when customers simultaneously receive the services and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs.

 

Convertible promissory notes

 

We record debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

41

 

 

Derivative instruments

 

We enter into financing arrangements that consist of freestanding derivative instruments or are hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative features. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”) as well as related interpretation of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, giving consideration to all of the rights and obligations of each instrument.

 

We estimate fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered to be consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, we consider, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as free-standing warrants, we generally use the Black-Scholes model, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms, dilution and risk-free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes. Under the terms of the new accounting standard, increases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and increases in fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative expense. Conversely, decreases in the trading price of the company’s common stock and decreases in trading fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative income.

 

Foreign currencies translation

 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations. The reporting currency of our company is the United States Dollar (“US$”). Our subsidiaries in the PRC maintain their books and records in their local currency, the Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”), which is the functional currency as it is the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate.

 

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

 

Segment reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about the type of products and services, geographical areas, business strategies and major customers in business components. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 the Company operated in four reportable segments: retail pharmacy, wholesale medical devices, wholesale pharmaceuticals and medical services in the PRC.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326)”, which significantly changes the way entities recognize impairment of many financial assets by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over their remaining life, instead of when incurred. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”, which amends Subtopic 326-20 (created by ASU No.2016-13) to explicitly state that operating lease receivables are not in the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Additionally, in April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No.2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments”, in May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief”, and in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates”, and ASU No. 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”, to provide further clarifications on certain aspects of ASU No. 2016-13 and to extend the nonpublic entity effective date of ASU No. 2016-13. The changes (as amended) are effective for the Company for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and the Company is in the process of evaluating the potential effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. Step two of the goodwill impairment test measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with its carrying amount. As amended by ASU 2019-10, annual or interim goodwill impairment tests are performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We do not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”) “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06 will simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public entities which meet the definition of a smaller reporting company are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company will adopt ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2024. Management is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on the consolidated financial statements. The effect will largely depend on the composition and terms of the financial instruments at the time of adoption.

 

42

 

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Revenues

 

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $17,261,951 and $25,202,485, respectively. The revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were primarily attributable to the revenues from the wholesale sales of pharmaceuticals and medical devices and from medical services provided by hospitals purchased during the first three quarters in 2022. Compared with the same period in 2021, revenue decreased $7,940,534, mainly due to the $5,866,363 decrease in sales of pharmaceuticals, the $2,411,815 decline in medical services revenues, offset in part by the $879,775 increase in medical devices revenues and the $243,537 increase in pharmacy retail revenues.

 

Revenues from retail pharmacy segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $618,582, generated from four retail pharmacy stores in Chongqing. Revenues from retail pharmacy segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $ 375,045 which were generated from five retail pharmacy stores in Chongqing. The growth in the retail pharmacy segment in nine month ended September 30, 2022 was from the sales of Covid-19 related pharmacy products. With the loosened local Covid-19 restrictions, customers purchase Covid-19 related products for at home use, which resulted in the increase in sales.

 

44

 

 

Revenues from the wholesale medical devices segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $3,404,533 and $ 2,524,777, respectively. The increase is mainly due to the high demand for medical devices during the first three quarter.

 

Revenues from the wholesale pharmaceuticals segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $8,956,141 and $14,978,955 respectively. The main reason for the decrease in sales in the 2022 period was the change in our customer base, as we started to develop business relationships with larger wholesale pharmaceutical companies and terminated our business with some customers who had a poor payment history. Covid-19 and the local lockdown policy also had an adverse effect on our wholesale pharmaceutical business during the second quarter of 2022.

 

Revenues from the medical services segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $4,282,695 and $6,694,510, respectively. These revenues reflect the revenues generated by the Guoyitang and Zhongshan hospitals acquired in February 2021 and the Minkang, Eurasia and Qiangsheng hospitals acquired in May 2021. The decrease in revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was due to fewer patient visits during the period resulting from the continued impact of Covid-19 and the reduced availability of doctors and nurses in our hospitals.

 

Cost of revenues

 

Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $12,993,304 and $20,616,279, respectively. The decrease reflected the impact of the reduced sales of our wholesale pharmaceuticals segment and reduced operations of our medical services segment.

 

Cost of revenues of our retail pharmacy segment consists primarily of the cost of the pharmaceuticals, medical devices and other products that we sell to customers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, cost of revenues of our retail pharmacy segment were $72,834 and $295,059, respectively. The decrease in the cost of revenues was a result of the decrease in sales of medical devices and the receipt of significant discounts  on Covid-19 related pharmaceuticals  in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Cost of revenues of our wholesale medical devices segment consists primarily of cost of medical devices, medical consumables and costs related directly to contracts with customers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the cost of revenues of our wholesale medical devices segment was $2,923,017 and $ 1,831,089. The increase is mainly attributable to the increase in sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Cost of revenues of our wholesale pharmaceuticals segment consists primarily of the cost of medicines and costs related directly to contracts with customers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the cost of revenues of our wholesale pharmaceuticals segment were $8,035,938 and $ 14,598,512, respectively. The decrease is mainly due to the decrease in sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Cost of revenues of our medical services consists primarily of the cost of medicine, doctor and nurses’ salaries and rental expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the cost of revenues of the medical services segment were $ 1,950,611 and $ 3,334,306, respectively. The majority of the decrease was attributable to a decrease in doctor and nurses’ salaries in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. In addition, there was a reduction in over-time payments and use of seasonal part time employees, which contributed to the decrease in the overall cost of revenues in the medical services segment.

Gross profit

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had a gross margin of 25% and 18%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the gross profit margins of our: (i) retail pharmacy segment were 88.2% and 21.3%, respectively; (ii) wholesale medical devices segment were 14.1% and 27.5%, respectively; (iii) wholesale pharmaceuticals segment were 11.4% and 2.5%; respectively, and (iv) medical services segment were 54.5% and 50.2%, respectively.

 

Operating expenses

 

Operating expenses consist mainly of auditing and legal service fees, other professional service fees, directors’ and officers’ compensation expenses, meeting and promotional expenses, changes in fair value of derivative liabilities, depreciation and amortization of items not associated with production, office rental fee and utilities.

 

Operating expenses from continuing operations were $12,196,369 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $9,522,372 for the same period in 2021, an increase of $2,673,997 or 28%. The $2.7 million increase was due to the payments to our CEO and COO in shares of our Common Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. No such stock payments were made in the same period in 2021.

 

Operating expenses of the retail pharmacy segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $373,744 and $547,159, respectively. The decrease in operating expense was primarily attributable to a decrease in salaries, which resulted from reduced over-time payments and use of seasonal part time employees and the reduced number of stores in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Operating expenses of the wholesale medical devices segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $436,227 and $469,644, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease in promotion expenses, as there was a higher demand for medical devices.

 

Operating expenses of the wholesale pharmaceuticals segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $1,278,165 and $750,023, respectively. The increase in operating expense was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries, as new business development teams were hired to develop relationships with larger wholesale pharmaceutical companies.

 

Operating expenses of medical services segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $2,281,159 and $1,136,316, respectively. The increase in operating expenses was attributable to the increase in advertising and business development expense for $0.8 million- and third-party consulting fees  of $0.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Other expenses

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we reported other expenses of $2,643,119 and $302,142, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, such expenses primarily consisted of amortization of convertible notes of $2,270,792 and $79,595 of interest expenses relating to the bank debt incurred by our operating subsidiaries in the PRC.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had $302,142 of other expenses, net that included $79,595 of other expenses and $222,547 of interest expenses from the bank debt of the Guanzan Group and the Guoyitang and Zhongshan hospitals.

 

Net loss

 

As a result of the foregoing, our net loss increased by $5,324,816 to $10,601,057 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $5,276,241 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

At September 30, 2022, we had cash of $1,046,876 and negative working capital of $1,515,001 as compared to cash of $4,797,849 and negative working capital of $932,493 at December 31, 2021.

 

On May 18, 2020, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “May SPA”) with two institutional investors (the “Institutional Investors”) to sell convertible notes having a face amount of $6,550,000 at an aggregate original issue discount of 19.85% (the “2020 Notes”) and ranking senior to all outstanding and future indebtedness of the Company. The 2020 Notes do not bear interest except upon the occurrence of an event of default. Each Institutional Investor also received a warrant (each an “Institutional Investor 2020 Warrant”) to purchase 325,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $14.225 per share (post-Split price (as defined below) and subject to the Event Market Price Adjustment). The placement agent for the private placement received a warrant (the “Placement Agent 2020 Warrant”, together with the Institutional Investor 2020 Warrants, the “2020 Warrants”) to purchase up to 10% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $14.225 per share (post-Split price and subject to adjustment), subject to increase based on the number of shares Common Stock issued pursuant to the 2020 Notes.

 

Pursuant to the May SPA, two 2020 Notes each in the face amount of $2,225,000 were issued to the Institutional Investors in consideration of the payment of $1,750,000 in cash for each 2020 Note.

The May SPA, the 2020 Notes and the 2020 Warrants provide that each and every reference to share prices, shares of Common Stock and any other numbers therein that relate to the Common Stock will be automatically adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Common Stock (each, a “Stock Combination Event”, and such date thereof, the “Stock Combination Event Date”) thereafter. The May SPA, the 2020 Notes and the 2020 Warrants further provide if after a Stock Combination Event, the Event Market Price is less than the conversion price (in the case of the Convertible Notes) or the exercise price (in the case of the warrants) then in effect (after giving effect to the above adjustments), then on the sixteenth (16th) trading day immediately following such Stock Combination Event Date, the conversion price or exercise then in effect on such sixteenth (16th) trading day (after giving effect to the above adjustments) will be reduced (but in no event increased) to the Event Market Price. “Event Market Price” means, with respect to any Stock Combination Event Date, the quotient determined by dividing (x) the sum of the dollar volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock for each of the five (5) trading days with the lowest dollar volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock during the fifteen (15) consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the sixteenth (16th) trading day after such Stock Combination Event Date, divided by (y) five (5). The price adjustment described in this paragraph is hereinafter referred to as the “Event Market Price Adjustment.”

 

The 2020 Notes, which matured on the eighteen-month anniversary of the issuance date, were payable in installments and are convertible at the election of the investors at the conversion price of $12.95 per share (post-Split Price and subject to the Event Market Price Adjustment), subject to adjustment in the event of default. Each investor also received a warrant to purchase 130,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $14.23 per share (post-Split Price and subject to the Event Market Price Adjustment). The placement agent for the private placement received a warrant to purchase up to 34,369 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $14.23 per share (post-Split Price and subject to the Event Market Price Adjustment), subject to increase based on the number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the 2020 Notes. Pursuant to the May SPA, additional convertible notes in an aggregate original face amount not to exceed $2,100,000 (the “Additional Notes”) could also be issued to the Institutional Investors under certain circumstances.

 

On February 24, 2021, we entered into an amendment to the May SPA with the Institutional Investors to increase the amount of the Additional Notes by $3,300,000 to $5,400,000. On February 26, 2021, Additional Notes in an aggregate original principal amount of $5,400,000 were issued to the Institutional Investors, together with the issuance of warrants to acquire an aggregate of 152,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $14.23 per share (post-Split Price and subject to the Event Market Price Adjustment). The placement agent for the private placement received a warrant to purchase up to 34,749 shares of our Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $14.23 per share post-Split Price and (subject to the Event Market Price Adjustment), subject to increase based on the number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Additional Notes.

 

On November 18, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “November SPA”) with the same two Institutional Investors to sell them a series of senior convertible notes (the “2021 Notes”) with an original issue discount of 20% and ranking senior to all outstanding and future indebtedness of the Company in a private placement. Each Institutional Investor paid $3,250,000 in cash for a 2021 Note in the face amount of $3,900,000. The November SPA also provided for the issuance of additional 2021 Notes in an aggregate original principal amount not to exceed $3,900,000 under certain circumstances. The November SPA also contains provisions about the Market Event Price. The 2021 Notes, which were issued on November 22, 2021, mature on the eighteen-month anniversary of the issuance date, are payable by the Company in installments and are convertible at the election of the Institutional Investors at the conversion price of $3.25 (post-Split Price and subject to the Event Market Price Adjustment), which is subject to adjustment in the event of default. Each Institutional Investor also received a warrant (each an “Institutional Investor 2021 Warrant”) to purchase 180,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $3.55 per share (subject to the Event Market Price Adjustment). The placement agent for the private placement received a warrant (the “Placement Agent 2021 Warrant”, together with the Institutional Investor 2021 Warrants, the “2021 Warrants”) to purchase up to 8% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $3.55 per share (post-Split Price and subject to the Event Market Price Adjustment), subject to increase based on the number of shares Common Stock issued pursuant to the 2021 Notes.

 

47

 

 

The Company implemented a reverse stock split (the “Split”) on February 2, 2022 at the ratio of 5 to 1. The 2020 Notes were fully converted before the Split, and therefore no price adjustment was actually implemented at the conversion, although the price information provided above about the 2020 Notes was post-split price. The conversion price of the 2021 Notes and the exercise price of the 2020 Warrants and the 2021 Warrants will be adjusted pursuant to the Event Market Price formula upon conversion or exercise. The outstanding balance for the convertible promissory notes as of September 30, 2022 is $6,320,075.

 

On February 1, 2022, the Company entered into an Amendment and Settlement Agreement to amend the stock purchase agreement relating to the acquisition of the Zhongshan. The amendment reduced post-closing performance targets and payments and settled certain payments as a result of such amendment. Pursuant to the amendment, the purchase price was retroactively reduced by 50% from RMB 120,000,000 (currently approximately $18,864,957) to RMB 60,000,000 (currently approximately $9,432,479), the closing cash payment was retroactively reduced from RMB 40,000,000 to nil and the deferred closing stock payment was retroactively reduced from 400,000 shares of our Common Stock to 200,000 shares of Common Stock. The 2021 revenue target was also reduced by 50% from RMB 30,000,000 to RMB 15,000,000, the 2021 profit target was reduced from RMB 5,000,000 to RMB 2,500,000, the 2022 revenue target was reduced from RMB 33,000,000 to RMB 16,500,000 and the 2022 profit target was reduced from RMB 5,500,000 to RMB 2,750,000.As a result of the amendments, the parties agreed that immediately after the signing of the amendment, the seller of Zhongshan hospital will execute and deliver all documents as requested by us in order to cause the return of 200,000 shares of our Common Stock and that prior to December 31, 2022, the seller will return RMB 40,000,000 (approximately $5,627,224) to us in cash.

Inflation and Seasonality

 

We do not believe that our operating results have been materially affected by inflation during 2022. There can be no assurance, however, that our operating results will not be affected by inflation in the future. At present we can increase our product sale prices due to the rising prices charged by our suppliers. At present we are able to increase our product sale prices to offset the rising prices charged by our suppliers.

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation and the identification of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2020, and during the period prior were not effective.

 

Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

 

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with management authorization; and

 

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Due to the Company’s limited resources, the Company does not have accounting personnel with extensive experience in maintaining books and records and preparing financial statements in accordance with US GAAP which could lead to untimely identification and resolution of accounting matters inherent in the Company’s financial transactions in accordance with US GAAP.

 

Management’s Remediation plan

 

While management believes that the financial statements, we previously filed in our SEC reports have been properly recorded and disclosed in accordance with US GAAP, based on the control deficiencies identified above, management is continuing to engage an outside consultant with considerable public company reporting experience and breadth of knowledge of US GAAP to provide additional training to its accounting personnel in connection with the preparation and review of our financial statements. 

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Subject to the foregoing disclosure, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II ---- OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Changes in the political and economic policies of the PRC government or in relations between China and the United States or other governments may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and may result in our inability to sustain our growth and expansion strategies.

 

We are Delaware holding company with operations conducted by our subsidiaries in China. Due to our operations in China, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects may be influenced to a significant degree by economic, political, legal and social conditions in the PRC or changes in government relations between China and the United States or other governments. There is significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and China with respect to trade policies, treaties, government regulations and tariffs. China’s economy differs from the economies of other countries in many respects, including with respect to the level of development, growth rate, amount of government involvement, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. While China’s economy has experienced significant growth over the past four decades, growth has been uneven across different regions and among various economic sectors. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic development and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. In addition, in the past the Chinese government implemented certain measures, including interest rate increases, to manage the pace of economic growth and prevent the economy from overheating. These measures may cause decreased economic activity in China, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

Additionally, the Chinese government has published new policies that significantly affect certain industries such as the education and internet industries, and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will in the future release regulations or policies regarding our industry that could require us to obtain additional permission from Chinese authorities to continue to operate our business in China, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our shares may be delisted under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act t if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditors for three consecutive years beginning in 2021. Pending legislation would reduce the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions from three years to two.

 

As part of a continued regulatory focus in the U.S. on access to audit and other information currently protected by national law, in particular China’s, the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCAA”) was signed into law on December 18, 2020. The HFCAA states if the SEC determines that if a company has filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit such company’s securities from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the U.S. Accordingly, under the current law, this could happen in 2024 if the SEC makes this determination for three consecutive years. 

 

On March 24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the HFCAA. A company will be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies it as having a “non-inspection” year under a process to be subsequently established by the SEC. The SEC is assessing how to implement other requirements of the HFCAA, including the listing and trading prohibition requirements described above.

 

On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed a bill known as the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the” AHFCAA”) to amend Section 104(i) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to prohibit securities of any registrant from being listed on any of the U.S. securities exchanges or traded over-the-counter if the auditor of the registrant’s financial statements is not subject to PCAOB inspection for two consecutive years, instead of three consecutive years as currently enacted in the HFCAA.

Additionally, in October 2021, Nasdaq adopted additional listing criteria applicable to companies that primarily operate in jurisdictions where local regulators impose secrecy laws, national security laws or other laws that restrict U.S. regulators from accessing information relating to the issuer (a “Restrictive Market”). Under the new rule, whether a jurisdiction permits PCAOB inspection would be a factor in determining whether a jurisdiction is deemed by Nasdaq to be a Restrictive Market. China will likely be determined to be a Restrictive Market and, as a result, Nasdaq may impose on additional continued listing criteria or deny continued listing of our securities on Nasdaq, and we cannot assure you whether Nasdaq or regulatory authorities would apply additional and more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or experience as it relates to our audit.

 

On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a determination report which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (i) China, and (ii) Hong Kong, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions, and the PCAOB included in the report of its determination a list of the accounting firms that are headquartered in the PRC or Hong Kong. This report does not include our auditors, Audit Alliance LLP. Audit Alliance LLP is headquartered in Singapore and there are no limitations in Singapore on PCAOB inspections. However, to the extent that our auditor’s work papers may, in the future, become located in China, such work papers will not be subject to inspection by the PCAOB because the PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections without the approval of the Chinese authorities. Inspections of certain other firms that the PCAOB has conducted outside of China have identified deficiencies in those firms’ audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality. The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of our auditors’ work papers in China would make it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of China that are subject to PCAOB inspections. As a result, our investors may be deprived of the benefits of the PCAOB’s oversight of our auditor through such inspections and they may lose confidence in our reported financial information and procedures and the quality of our financial statements. We cannot assure you whether Nasdaq or other regulatory authorities will apply additional or more stringent criteria to us. Such uncertainty could cause the market price of our shares to be materially and adversely affected.

 

We will be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies us as having a “non-inspection” year under a process to be subsequently established by the SEC. The SEC is assessing how to implement other requirements of the HFCAA, including the listing and trading prohibition requirements described above.

 

The SEC may propose additional rules or guidance that could impact us if our auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspection. Such uncertainty could cause the market price of our shares to be materially and adversely affected, and our securities could be delisted or prohibited from being traded on the national securities exchange earlier than would be required by the HFCAA. If our shares of Common Stock are unable to be listed on another securities exchange by then, such a delisting would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our shares when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with a potential delisting would have a negative impact on the price of our shares.

The potential enactment of the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act or the America COMPETES Act would decrease the number of non-inspection years from three years to two, thus reducing the time period before our Common Stock may be prohibited from over-the-counter trading or delisted.

 

On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed a bill known as the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, to amend Section 104(i) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (15 U.S.C. 7214(i)) to prohibit securities of any registrant from being listed on any of the U.S. securities exchanges or traded over-the-counter if the auditor of the registrant’s financial statements is not subject to PCAOB inspection for two consecutive years, instead of three consecutive years as currently enacted in the HFCAA.

 

On February 4, 2022, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the America Creating Opportunities for Manufacturing Pre-Eminence in Technology and Economic Strength (COMPETES) Act of 2022 (the “America COMPETES Act”), which similarly would amend the HFCAA to shorten the three-year period to two years. The America COMPETES Act, however, includes a broader range of legislation than the AHFCA Act in response to the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act (the “USICA”) passed by the U.S. Senate in 2021. In late July 2022, the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate passed the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (“CHIPS”) for America Fund (the “CHIPS Act of 2022”), which is expected to be signed into law in August 2022. The CHIPS Act of 2022 includes a number of provisions from both the America COMPETES Act and the USICA but did not include a provision to amend the HFCAA to shorten the three-year period to two years.

 

Certain members of the U.S. Senate have mentioned that they intend to move forward with negotiating the remaining provisions from the AHFCA Act and the America Competes Act that were not included in the CHIPS Act of 2022 and there is a chance that a final bill from this negotiation, if approved, could amend the HFCAA to shorten the three-year period to two years. It is unclear if or when this amended bill will be signed into law. In the case that such bill becomes the law, it will reduce the time period before our Common Stock could be delisted from Nasdaq and prohibited from over-the-counter trading in the U.S. from 2024 to 2023.

 

While we expect to be able to comply with the AHFCA Act and the COMPETES Act, if they become law, we cannot assure you that the proposed legislation may be further revised , or that we will be in full compliance with such legislation. As a result, our securities may be prohibited from trading on Nasdaq or other U.S. stock exchanges and from over-the-counter trading in the U.S.
