PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
General
Hartford Great Health Corp. (“the Company”, “Hartford” “we”, “us” or our”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 2, 2008 (“Inception) under the name PhotoAmigo, Inc. It changed its name to Hartford Great Health Corp. on August 20, 2018, and since then we have been engaged in activities to formulate and implement our business plan as set forth below.
Overview
Up until August 2018, we provided social networking and photo sharing from the website PhotoAmigo.com. We also maintained the domain names PhotoAmigo.net, fotoamigo.com and fotoamigo.net. These domain names all redirect incoming traffic to our main website, PhotoAmigo.com.
In August 2018, the Company changed its future plans of operations. Through its wholly owned subsidiary - Hangzhou Hartford Comprehensive Health Management, Ltd (“HZHF) and HZHF’s 60 percent owned subsidiary - Hangzhou Longjing Qiao Fu Vacation Hotel Co., Ltd. (“HZLJ”), and through Shanghai Hartford Comprehensive Health Management, Ltd. (“HFSH”) and its 90 percent owned subsidiary - Shanghai Qiao Garden International Travel Agency (“Qiao Garden Int’l Travel”), the Company engages in hospitality industry in China. Qiao Garden Int’l Travel was disposed on December 31, 2020, see note 4 Acquisitions and Disposals.
The Company started to engage in early childhood education industry at Hartford International Education Technology Co., Ltd (“HF Int’l Education”). HFSH originally held 75.5% ownership of HF Int’l Education and maintains control over HF Int’l Education. During the board meeting in 2021, SH Jingyu and another noncontrolling shareholders sold a total of 14.5% equity at zero value to HFSH. As a result, HFSH holds 90% of HF Int’l Education and a total of 10% equity is held by two individual noncontrolling shareholders. On July 24, 2019 and March 23, 2020, HF Int’l Education established two 100% owned subsidiaries, Pudong Haojin Childhood Education Ltd. (“PDHJ”) and Shanghai Hongkou HaiDeFuDe Childcare Co., Ltd.(“HDFD”), respectively, to operate the early childhood education service under the brand name of “HaiDeFuDe” in Shanghai, China. On July 20, 2020, HF Int’l Education entered an agreement with two individuals to acquire the whole ownership of Shanghai Gelinke Childcare Education Center (“Gelinke”). Gelinke temporally ceased its operations by the end of August 2021. On August 31, 2021, PDHJ established one 96% owned subsidiary, Shanghai HDFD Zhongli Education Technology Co., Ltd. (“Zhongli”), two individual investors hold the remaining 4% ownership, see note 4 Acquisitions and Disposals.
In March 2021, HF Int’l Education entered agreements with Hartford Health Management (Shanghai), Co. Ltd. (“HFHM”). HFHM purchased seven education & intellectual property copy rights and ten “HaiDeFuDe” registered trademarks from HF Int’l Education for a total amount of RMB1.2M and RMB1.0M, respectively. As a part of the purchase agreement, HFHM was originally agreed to be paid the 90% of gross tuition income from the three childcare centers. Due to impacts from the pandemic and new regulations issued by Chinese government in education industry, HF Int’l Education occurred significant loss from operation. Both parties mutually agreed to amend the fee to 20% on July 2022, the amended rate is retrospectively applicable to June 1, 2021.
The following business plan was based on research and discussions between the board and third party suppliers and experts. Only preliminary activities relating to the following objectives have been undertaken and therefore, there is no assurance that any of the proposed activities set forth below will be started by the Company or if started will be successful.
Strategy
The initial plan focuses on the development of the Sino-U.S. health industry in the following four areas:
A. International Anti-Aging Membership Program,
B. Artificial Intelligence and Medical Equipment Sales,
C. Mobile Lifestyle Health & Wellness Management Platform,
D. Integrated Health Management of Metabolic Diseases.
The Company has also expanded its strategy into the hospitality industry, focusing on hotels, restaurants, and travel arrangements. The Company plans to integrate hospitality with health management through its membership-based program by arranging travel accommodations for Chinese citizen members to the United States to obtain stem cell beauty treatments.
The initial plan in early 2019 that focused on the development of the Sino-U.S. health industry in the areas of International Anti-Aging membership based program; Artificial Intelligence and Medical Equipment Sales; Mobile Lifestyle Management Platform; and Integrated management of metabolic diseases have been put on hold due to economic uncertainties caused by the increasing tension between the US and China international relation.

Near the end of 2019, the Company has found another opportunity to expand its market reach in the Chinese childhood education industry. The Company plans to formulate a proprietary early childhood education center management model beginning with the opening of several early childhood education centers in the greater Shanghai area with the goal of demonstrating the management model in action in order to attract interest from potential franchisees. Currently, there are three early child education and development center in operation despite the economic slowdown during the pandemic. The “Three-child policy” announced on May 1, 2021, by Chinese government further increases the market opportunities in early childhood education industry. On July 24, 2021, the Chinese government announced a “Double-Reduction” education policy to be taken effective on August 31, 2021. This new education policy has since impacted the Company’s early childhood education business. Due to China’s zero-Covid policy implementation during the pandemic as well as Covid-19 lockdown for over two months in Greater Shanghai, childcare and childhood education center were forced to halt operations; therefore, the Company decides to divert its plan from childcare and childhood educational development industry. On August 1, 2022, HFSH entered a contract with a related party, Shanghai Oversea Chinese Culture Media Ltd. (“SH Oversea”), to sell 90 percent ownership of HF Int’l Education and its subsidiaries for $900 (RMB 5,850). On August 1, 2022, HFUS entered a contract with SH Oversea and another individual, to sell 100 percent ownership of HZHF and its subsidiaries for $1,000 (RMB 6,500). The company’s sole subsidiary, HFSH is currently working with herbal manufacturers to develop new herbal health supplement products for wholesale distribution in China. Due to deflation in China, the expected marketing and product launch date has been pushed back towards end of this year.
There can be no assurance following consummation of any of the business ventures will develop into a going concern or, if the business is already operating, that it will continue to operate successfully. Many of the potential business opportunities available to the Company may involve new and untested products, processes or market strategies which may not ultimately prove successful.
The Company’s independent auditors have issued a report raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. At present, the Company has limited operations and the continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from its stockholders, its ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and/or to successfully locate and negotiate with a business entity for the combination of that target company with the Company. There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY. RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
There has only been limited trading for the Company’s Common Stock since it was quoted on OTC Markets. There is no assurance that an active trading market will ever develop or, if such a market does develop, that it will continue. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for purposes relevant to the Company, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading, and about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to buy or sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of our shareholders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our common stock in the market place. In addition, the liquidity for our common stock may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our common stock. Our shares are likely to be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future.
On October 30, 2023, the closing price of our common stock reported on the OTC Markets was $0.88 per share. The following table sets forth, for each of the quarterly periods indicated, the high and low sales prices of our common stock, as reported on the OTC Markets.
Fiscal 2023 | Low | High | ||||||
First Quarter | $ | 0.16 | $ | 0.16 | ||||
Second Quarter | $ | 0.16 | $ | 0.16 | ||||
Third Quarter | $ | 0.03 | $ | 1.10 | ||||
Fourth Quarter | $ | 0.88 | $ | 1.10 |
Fiscal 2024 | Low | High | ||||||
First Quarter | $ | 0.88 | $ | 0.88 |
Holders
As of October 30, 2023, a total of 100,108,000 shares of our common stock were outstanding and there were approximately 52 holders of record.

Penny Stock Rules
Due to the price of our common stock, as well as the fact that we are not listed on Nasdaq or a national securities exchange, our stock is characterized as “penny stocks” under applicable securities regulations. Our stock will therefore be subject to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulating broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer proposing to affect a transaction in a penny stock must furnish his customer a document containing information prescribed by the SEC and obtain from the customer an executed acknowledgment of receipt of that document. The broker or dealer must also provide the customer with pricing information regarding the security prior to the transaction and with the written confirmation of the transaction. The broker or dealer must also disclose the aggregate amount of any compensation received or receivable by him in connection with such transaction prior to consummating the transaction and with the written confirmation of the trade. The broker or dealer must also send an account statement to each customer for which he has executed a transaction in a penny stock each month in which such security is held for the customer’s account. The existence of these rules may have an effect on the price of our stock, and the willingness of certain brokers to effect transactions in our stock.
Transfer Agent
We have appointed Signature Stock Transfer, Inc., as the transfer agent for our common stock. The principal office of Signature Stock Transfer is located at 16801 Addison Road, Suite 247, Addison, Texas 75001 and its telephone number is (972) 612-4120.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock. Payment of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors after taking into account various factors, including the terms of any credit arrangements, our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs and plans for expansion. At the present time, we intend to retain any earning in our business, and therefore do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
The following discussion and analysis were prepared to supplement information contained in the accompanying financial statements and is intended to explain certain items regarding the financial condition as of July 31, 2023, and the results of operations for the years ended July 31, 2023, and 2022. It should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in this report.
Overview of the Business
Hartford Great Health Corp. was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 2, 2008, under the name PhotoAmigo, Inc. It changed its name to Hartford Great Health Corp. on August 22, 2018, and since then we have been engaged in activities to formulate and implement our business plan as set forth below.
Ability to continue as a “going concern”.
The independent registered public accounting firms’ reports on our financial statements as of July 31, 2023 and 2022, includes a “going concern” explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to the factors prompting the explanatory paragraph are discussed in the financial statements, including footnotes thereto.
Plan of Operation
As of July 31, 2023, the company has issued a total of 100,108,000 shares of common stock. On December 11, 2018, 96,090,000 shares of common stock were issued at the price of $0.02 per share to raise an additional $1,921,800 in capital. On November 24, 2020, the Company issued additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock to a significant shareholder of the Company at $0.02 per share.
On December 28, 2018, the Company acquired Hangzhou Hartford Comprehensive Health Management, Ltd (“HZHF”). On March 22, 2019, the Company acquired 60 percent of Hangzhou Longjing Qiao Fu Vacation Hotel Co., Ltd. (“HZLJ”). On March 20, 2019, the Company acquired Shanghai Hartford Comprehensive Health Management, Ltd. (“HFSH”) with 90 percent of Shanghai Qiao Garden International Travel Agency (“Qiao Garden Int’l Travel”), which was disposed on December 31, 2020, and formed a joint venture entity, Hartford International Education Technology Co., Ltd (“HF Int’l Education”).
The subsidiary of HFUS in Shanghai (HFSH) advances operating funds from two related party entities, SH Qiao Hong and SH Oversea Chinese Culture Media Ltd. The main purpose of the funding is to invest in Hartford International Education Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (HF Int’l Education). Upon signing of supplemental agreement, HFUS currently holds 75.5% ownership of HF Int’l Education and maintains control over HF Int’l Education. On July 24, 2019, HF Int’l Education established a 100% owned subsidiary, Pudong Haojin Childhood Education Ltd. (“PDHJ”). On October 28, 2019, PDHJ had its childhood education center opened. On March 23, 2020, HF Int’l Education established Shanghai Hongkou HaiDeFuDe Childcare Co., Ltd.(“HDFD”) and was approved the business license to conduct childcare operations in Shanghai, China. On July 20, 2020, HF Int’l Education entered an agreement with two individuals to acquire the whole ownership of Shanghai Gelinke Childcare Education Center (“Gelinke”). During the board meeting, SH Jingyu and another noncontrolling shareholders also sold a total of 14.5% equity at zero value to HFSH. As a result, HFSH holds 90% of HF Int’l Education and a total of 10% equity is held by two individual noncontrolling shareholders.
HF Int’l Education has developed an enhanced model of childcare franchise management program and registered a new brand name, “HaiDeFuDe”. HF Int’l Education has recruited a team of knowledgeable childcare teachers to develop series of independent textbooks designed to targeted age of young children and register for the copyrights for these textbooks in September of 2020. Since then, HF Int’l Education has begun marketing and promoting the enhanced model of franchise operation and management packaged program, under “HaiDeFuDe” brand, to an initial of 50 franchisees throughout different regions of China. To achieve that, HF Int’l Education has incorporated existing market resources throughout other major cities and provinces in China. The promotion of HF Int’l Education franchise operation and management model was expected to attract other childcare education centers to join the “HaiDeFuDe” brand, and HF Int’l Education expected to generate revenue from franchise and management fees.
9 |
Due to continued market uncertainties during the pandemic, the board of HFSH adopted a new management approach to ease cash flow and reduce operation loss. In March 2021, HF Int’l Education entered agreements with Hartford Health Management (Shanghai), Co. Ltd. (“HFHM”). HFHM purchased seven education & intellectual property copy rights and ten “HaiDeFuDe” registered trademarks from HF Int’l Education for a total amount of RMB1.2M and RMB1.0M, respectively. In June 2021, HF Int’l Education and its three subsidiaries entered license agreements with HFHM for the rights to use the intellectual Properties (the “IPs”) HFHM owns. The IPs cover in the license agreements are four sets of curriculum structure designed and fifteen trademarks including “HaiDeFuDe” registered trademarks purchased from HF Int’l Education. As a return, on a monthly basis, HF Int’l Education and its subsidiaries pays 20% of its tuition revenue generated to HFHM as license usage fee.
However, due to China’s continual of zero-Covid policy implementation this year as well as Covid-19 lockdown for over two months in Greater Shanghai, childcare and childhood education center were forced to halt operations; therefore, the Company decides to divert its plan from childcare and childhood educational development industry. On August 1, 2022, HFSH entered a contract with a related party, Shanghai Oversea Chinese Culture Media Ltd. (“SH Oversea”), to sell 90 percent ownership of HF Int’l Education and its subsidiaries for $900 (RMB 5,850). On August 1, 2022, HFUS entered a contract with SH Oversea and another individual, to sell 100 percent ownership of HZHF and its subsidiaries for $1,000 (RMB 6,500). The company’s sole subsidiary, HFSH is currently working with herbal manufacturers to develop new herbal health supplement products for wholesale distribution in China. The expected marketing and product launch date is push out to end of this year due to deflation in China.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of July 31, 2023, we had negative working capital of $4,490,436 comprised of current assets of $7,037 and current liabilities of $4,497,473. This represents a decrease of $1,950,219 in the working capital balance from the July 31, 2022 negative amount of $6,440,655. The decrease was primarily because the disposal of operations in hospitality housing and childhood education care services on August 1, 2022. see note 4 Acquisitions and Disposals.
We believe that our funding requirements for the next twelve months will be in excess of $175,000. We are currently seeking for further funding through related parties’ loan and finance.
As of July 31, 2023, the company has issued a total of 100,108,000 shares of common stock. On December 11, 2018, 96,090,000 shares of common stock were issued at the price of $0.02 per share to raise an additional $1,921,800 in capital. On November 24, 2020, the Company issued additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock to a significant shareholder of the Company at $0.02 per share.
We will seek additional financing in the form of debt or equity. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain any needed financing on favorable terms, or at all, or that we will find qualified purchasers for the sale of our stock. Any sales of our securities would dilute the ownership of our existing investors.

Cash used in investing activities was $145,048 for the year ended July 31, 2022. The cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the expenditure of leasehold improvements in HF Int’l Education, one of the discontinued operations.
Financing activities
Cash provided by financing activities was $115,568 for the year ended July 31, 2023 as compared to $972,267 cash provided by financing activities for the year ended July 31, 2022.

The cash flows provided by financing activities for year ended July 31,2022 was primarily attributable to $788,673 funding support from related parties, $145,000 proceeds of notes payable and $38,594 net cash provided by financing activities from discontinued operations. The notes payable was borrowed from one related party with 5% annual interest rate.
Equity and Capital Resources
We have incurred losses since inception of our business and, as of July 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $7,003,717 compared to $7,400,620 at the previous year end. To date, we have funded our operations through short-term debt and equity financing.
Impacted by Covid-19 pandemic and the government regulation implemented in education industry and the restrictions posted by the Chinese government to control the pandemic in China since 2021, to avoid further operation losses, on August 1, 2022, we disposed the main operational entities in China. Consequently, we are dependent on the proceeds from future debt or equity investments to implement our future business plan. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital, we will be required to delay or forego most of our business plan, which would have a material adverse effect on our anticipated results from operations and financial condition. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain necessary amounts of additional capital or that our estimates of our capital requirements will prove to be accurate.
Future Capital Expenditures
As of July 31, 2023, we have no future capital expenditures plan for next twelve months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of and subsequent to July 31, 2023, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Accounting Policies and Pronouncements
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements. Critical accounting estimates are those that management believes are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Judgments and uncertainties may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. See “Part II, Item 8 – Financial Statements – Note 1 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for a summary of our significant accounting policies.
The following summarizes our most significant critical accounting estimates:
Foreign Currency: The accounts of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated in accordance with FASB ASC 830. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in other expense, net, at the time they occur. Net foreign currency exchange gains or losses resulting from the translation of assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are recorded as a part of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. The Company does not undertake hedging transactions to cover its foreign currency exposure.
Revenue Recognition: The Company adopted ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606) on August 1, 2019, applying the modified retrospective method to all contracts that were not completed as of August 1, 2019. Revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We follow the five steps approach for revenue recognition under Topic 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. Billings to customers for which services are not rendered are considered deferred revenue. ASC 606 has no material impacts on the Company’s financial positions. The Company’s revenue is recognized when it satisfies a single performance obligation by transferring control of its products or providing services to a customer. The Company’s general payment terms are short-term in duration. The Company does not have significant financing components or payment terms.
a. | Early childhood education services: HF Int’l Education generates revenue from childhood education classes provided to its customers. The educational services consist of parent-child and bilingual childcare classes. Each contract of educational classes is accounted for as a single performance obligation which is satisfied proportionately over the service period. Tuition fee is generally collected in advance and is initially recorded as deferred revenue and transferred to contract liabilities after trial period. Refunds are provided to parents if they decide within the trial period that they no longer want to take the class. After the trial period, if a parent withdraws from a class, usually only that unearned portion of the fee is available to be returned. Nil of revenue has been generated during the year end July 31, 2023. For the year ended July 31, 2022, $509,920 of revenue were derived from early childhood education classes provided. | |
b. | Hospitality services: HZLJ generates revenue primarily from the room rentals, sale of food and beverage and other miscellaneous hospitality services. The Company recognizes room rental and services daily as services are provided. Under ASC 606, the pattern and timing of recognition of income from hotel facility is consistent with the prior accounting model. |
Impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and Chinese regulation on education industry, both early childhood education services and hospitality services have been sold on August 1, 2022. Thus, there was no revenue recognized from the two-revenue-stream for the year ended July 31, 2023.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
See “Part II, Item 8 – Financial Statements – Note 1 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Recent Accounting Pronouncements” for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements including the respective expected dates of adoption and expected effects on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a “smaller reporting Company” as defined by Item 8 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Shareholders and Board of Directors
Hartford Great Health Corp.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hartford Great Health Corp. and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of July 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended July 31, 2023, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended July 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

HARTFORD GREAT HEALTH CORP.
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Years Ended July 31, 2023 and 2022
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are the responsibility of the Company’s management. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Organization
Hartford Great Health Corp. was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 2, 2008 under the name PhotoAmigo, Inc. It changed its name to Hartford Great Health Corp. on August 22, 2018 and since then we have been engaged in activities to formulate and implement our business plans.
Through its wholly owned subsidiary - Hangzhou Hartford Comprehensive Health Management, Ltd (“HZHF) and HZHF’s 60 percent owned subsidiary - Hangzhou Longjing Qiao Fu Vacation Hotel Co., Ltd. (“HZLJ”), and through Shanghai Hartford Comprehensive Health Management, Ltd. (“HFSH”) and its 90 percent owned subsidiary - Shanghai Qiao Garden International Travel Agency (“Qiao Garden Int’l Travel”), the Company engages in hospitality industry in China. Qiao Garden Int’l Travel was disposed on December 31, 2020, see note 4 Acquisitions and Disposals.
The Company started to engage in early childhood education industry at Hartford International Education Technology Co., Ltd (“HF Int’l Education”). On July 24, 2019 and March 23, 2020, HF Int’l Education established two 100% owned subsidiaries, Pudong Haojin Childhood Education Ltd. (“PDHJ”) and Shanghai Hongkou HaiDeFuDe Childcare Co., Ltd.(“HDFD”), respectively, to operate the early childhood education service under the brand name of “HaiDeFuDe” in Shanghai, China. On July 20, 2020, HF Int’l Education entered an agreement with two individuals to acquire the whole ownership of Shanghai Gelinke Childcare Education Center (“Gelinke”). Gelinke temporally ceased its operations by the end of August 2021. On August 31, 2021, PDHJ established one 96% owned subsidiary, Shanghai HDFD Zhongli Education Technology Co., Ltd. (“Zhongli”), two individual investors hold the remaining 4% ownership, see note 4 Acquisitions and Disposals.
Impacted by the government regulation implemented in education industry and the restrictions posted by the Chinese government to control the pandemic in China since 2021, to avoid further operation losses, on August 1, 2022, HFSH entered a contract with a related party, Shanghai Oversea Chinese Culture Media Ltd. (“SH Oversea”), to sell 90 percent ownership of HF Int’l Education and its subsidiaries for $900 (RMB 5,850). On August 1, 2022, HFUS entered a contract with SH Oversea and another individual, to sell 100 percent ownership of HZHF and its subsidiaries for $1,000 (RMB 6,500). See note 4 Acquisitions and Disposals.
Basis of Presentation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hartford Great Health Corp, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries in which it has a controlling interest. The Company reports noncontrolling interests of the consolidated entities as a component of equity separate from the Company’s equity. All material inter-company transactions between and among the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated in the consolidation. The Company’s net income (loss) excludes income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interests.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities, the identification and disclosure of impaired assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency: The accounts of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated in accordance with FASB ASC 830. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in other expense, net, at the time they occur. Net foreign currency exchange gains or losses resulting from the translation of assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are recorded as a part of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. The Company does not undertake hedging transactions to cover its foreign currency exposure.
Comprehensive Income (loss): For the year ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company included its foreign currency translation gain or loss as part of its comprehensive income (loss).
Fair value measurement: Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities or funds.
Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, related party receivable, prepaid and other current receivable, accounts payable, related party payable and other current payable. The carrying amounts of afore-mentioned accounts approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.
20 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company maintains cash with banks in the USA and China. Should any bank holding cash become insolvent, or if the Company is otherwise unable to withdraw funds, the Company would lose the cash with that bank; however, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts. In China, a depositor has up to RMB500,000 insured by the People’s Bank of China Financial Stability Bureau (“FSD”). In the United States, the standard insurance amount is USD250,000 per depositor in a bank insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. As of July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, none of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents held by financial institutions was uninsured. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company generally does not require collateral and does not have an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Property and equipment, net: Property and equipment, net, are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
Years | ||
Leasehold improvements | ||
ROU assets-Finance lease | ||
Furniture and fixtures | 3-5 | |
Office equipment and vehicles | 3-5 | |
Computer software | 3-5 |
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
Business Combinations: If an acquired set of activities and assets is capable of being operated as a business consisting of inputs and processes from the viewpoint of a market participant, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are a business. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the acquisition date measured at their fair values as of that date. Fair value determinations are based on discounted cash flow analyses or other valuation techniques. In determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a material acquisition, the Company may utilize appraisals from third party valuation firms to determine fair values of some or all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, or may complete some or all of the valuations internally. In either case, the Company takes full responsibility for the determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The value of goodwill reflects the excess of the fair value of the consideration conveyed to the seller over the fair value of the net assets received. Acquisition-related costs that the Company incurs to affect a business combination are expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred.
Noncontrolling interest: The Company adopted ASC 810, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, as of January 1, 2009. ASC 810 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. ASC 810 also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interest of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owner.
Advertising costs: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. During the year ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, amount of and $10,540 advertising expenses were incurred, respectively.
Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Reform Act. The Tax Reform Act permanently reduces the U.S. corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate, effective January 1, 2018. In addition, the 2017 Tax Act also creates a new requirement that certain income (i.e., Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”)) earned by controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) must be included in the gross income of the CFCs’ U.S. shareholder income. The tax law in PRC applies an income tax rate of 25% to all enterprises. The Company’s subsidiary does not receive any preferential tax treatment from local government. The Company has been in loss position for years and zero balances of tax provisions, deferred tax assets and liabilities as of the reporting periods ended. The tax reforms have no significant impacts on the Company.
21 |
Revenue Recognition: The Company adopted ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606) on August 1, 2019, applying the modified retrospective method to all contracts that were not completed as of August 1, 2019. Revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We follow the five steps approach for revenue recognition under Topic 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. Billings to customers for which services are not rendered are considered deferred revenue. ASC 606 has no material impacts on the Company’s financial positions. The Company’s revenue is recognized when it satisfies a single performance obligation by transferring control of its products or providing services to a customer. The Company’s general payment terms are short-term in duration. The Company does not have significant financing components or payment terms.
a) | Early childhood education services: HF Int’l Education generates revenue from childhood education classes provided to its customers. The educational services consist of parent-child and bilingual childcare classes. Each contract of educational classes is accounted for as a single performance obligation which is satisfied proportionately over the service period. Tuition fee is generally collected in advance and is initially recorded as deferred revenue and transferred to contract liabilities after trial period. Refunds are provided to parents if they decide within the trial period that they no longer want to take the class. After the trial period, if a parent withdraws from a class, usually only that unearned portion of the fee is available to be returned. of revenue has been generated during the year ended July 31, 2023. For the year ended July 31, 2022, $509,920 of revenue was derived from early childhood education classes provided. | |
b) | Hospitality services: HZLJ generates revenue primarily from the room rentals, sale of food and beverage and other miscellaneous hospitality services. The Company recognizes room rental and services daily as services are provided. Under ASC 606, the pattern and timing of recognition of income from hotel facility is consistent with the prior accounting model. |
Impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and Chinese regulation on education industry, both early childhood education services and hospitality services have been sold on August 1, 2022. Thus, there was no revenue recognized from the two-revenue-stream for the year ended July 31, 2023. See Note 4 Acquisitions and Disposals.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”. The standard, including subsequently issued amendments (ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11), requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost basis, such as accounts receivable and certain other financial assets, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 to postpone the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for public business entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of obligations in the normal course of business. However, Hartford Great Health Corp. had stockholders’ deficit of $4,489,706 and $6,432,649 and generated not enough/negative cash flows from operating activities as of and for the years ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of Hartford Great Health Corp. to continue as a going concern.
In view of these matters, continuation as a going concern is dependent upon several factors, including the availability of debt or equity funding upon terms and conditions acceptable to Hartford Great Health Corp., and ultimately achieving profitable operations. Management believes that Hartford Great Health Corp.’s business plan provides it with an opportunity to continue as a going concern. However, management cannot provide assurance that Hartford Great Health Corp. will meet its objectives and be able to continue in operation.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of Hartford Great Health Corp. to continue as a going concern.

At this time, the Company is unable to determine if it will be able to benefit from its deferred tax asset. There are limitations on the utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards, including a requirement that losses be offset against future taxable income, if any. In addition, there are limitations imposed by certain transactions which are deemed to be ownership changes. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established for the entire deferred tax asset. Other temporary differences and estimated permanent differences are considered immaterial. Open tax years subject to examination by the IRS range from August 1, 2018 to the present. The Company has no uncertain tax positions.
The Company has been in loss position for years since inception and zero balances of deferred tax assets and liabilities as of the reporting periods ended.
There was no GILTI tax for the Company for the years ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 due to the operation losses incurred.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Not Applicable.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was performed under the supervision of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of July 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms due to material weaknesses in our internal controls described below.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control system is intended to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements and that we have controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we will be required to file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely and informed decisions regarding financial disclosure.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2023. Based on this assessment, management believes that as of July 31, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on those criteria.
Management’s assessment identified several material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses include the following:
● | Lack of proper authorization and approval procedures on significant business transactions. | |
● | Lack of competence accounting personnel at entity level and proper segregation of duties implemented. |
Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Our control systems are designed to provide such reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
We have made no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report on Form 10-K.
