1. Nature and Continuance of Operations
HQDA Elderly Life Network Corp. (formerly Hartford Retirement Network Corp.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 21, 2004. In November 2017, the Company acquired Shanghai Hongfu Health Management Ltd, a company incorporated in the People’s Republic China (“PRC”). Following the acquisition, on April 23, 2018, the Company changed its name to HQDA Elderly Life Network Corp.
Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Shanghai Hongfu Health Management Ltd. (“Shanghai Hongfu”), the Company purchased senior living facilities and launched a senior living residences business, which hosts to mostly men and women over the age of 50. The Company intends to expand its business of owning, leasing and/or operating senior living residences that will provide seniors with a supportive, home life setting with care and services, including activities of daily living, life enrichment and health and wellness.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and for the six months ended have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company reported a net loss of $354,673 and $446,313 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, it had a negative working capital deficiency of $ 6,643,563 while it had a negative working capital deficiency of $6,345,430 at June 30, 2021.
There is limited historical financial information about the Company upon which to base of an evaluation of our performance. We shifted its focus to senior housing and retirement services and products. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new resource exploration company, including limited capital resources, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. To become profitable, we will attempt to implement a plan of operation as detailed above.
Our cash reserves are not sufficient to meet our obligations for the next twelve-month period. As a result, we will need to seek additional capital in the near future. We anticipate that additional capital will be raised in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. As well, our management is prepared to provide us with short-term loans.
We cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient capital from the sale of our common stock or through a loan from our directors to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing. If we are unable to arrange additional financing, our business plan will fail and operations will cease.
2. Basis of Significant Accounting policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Shanghai Hongfu Health Management Ltd. All inter-company balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company’s fiscal year end is June 30.
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 translation
The United States dollar (“USD”) is the Company’s reporting currency. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Shanghai Hongfu is located in Shanghai, China. The net sales generated, and the related expenses directly incurred from the operations are denominated in local currency, Renminbi (“RMB”). The functional currency of the subsidiary is generally the same as the local currency.
Assets and liabilities measured in RMB are translated into USD at the prevailing exchange rates in effect as of the financial statement date and the related gains and losses, net of applicable deferred income taxes, are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in its consolidated balance sheets. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Revenue recognition
On July 1, 2018 the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method. The Company evaluated its revenue streams to identify whether it would be subject to the provisions of ASC 606 and any differences in timing, measurement or presentation of revenue recognition. The Company’s main source of revenue is generated from operating senior living residences and business apartment service.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements adopted
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02 (Topic 842) “Leases.” Topic 842 supersedes the lease recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 840 “Leases.” Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for substantially all leases. Leases will continue to be classified as either finance or operating. Topic 842 is effective for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoptions permitted. The Company adopted the new standard July 1, 2019. As part of the adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company made an accounting policy election that will not recognizing leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company only has one month-to-month office lease since July 1, 2019. The adoption of this new accounting standard did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”, which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill, but rather requires an entity to record an i7mpairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value. This amendment is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-04 on July 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s interim financial position and results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 20163-13, “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.

Unless expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise, The terms “HQDA”, “Company”, “we”, “our”, and “us” refer to HQDA Elderly Life Network Corp. (formerly Hartford Retirement Network Corp.), a Nevada corporation.
General
HQDA Elderly Life Network Corp. (formerly Hartford Retirement Network Corp.) (“HQDA” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 21, 2004. Our principal office is located at 372 Ziwei Road, Pudong New District Shanghai, P.R. China. Our telephone number is +86 15358018888.
The Company has not had any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding since incorporation.
Our business plan is owning, leasing and/or operating senior living residences that provide seniors with a supportive, home life setting with care and services, including activities of daily living, life enrichment and health and wellness in certain cities in China. We also plan to operate a network carrier, providing scheduled air transportation to passengers, travel destination services to leisure travelers.
The Senior Living Industry
Through our newly acquired and wholly-owned subsidiary, Shanghai Hongfu Health Management Ltd., we purchased senior living facilities in April 2018, launched a senior living residences business, which, hosts to mostly men and women over the age of 50. We intend to expand the business of owning, leasing and/or operating senior living residences that will provide seniors with supportive, home life setting with care and services, including activities of daily living, life enrichment and health and wellness in China.
The senior living industry encompasses a broad spectrum of senior living service and care options, which include independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing care. Our primary focus will be on the independent living services. Independent living is designed to meet the needs of seniors who choose to live in an environment surrounded by their peers where they receive services such as housekeeping, meals and activities, but are not reliant on assistance with activities of daily living (for example, bathing, eating and dressing), although we may offer these services through contracts with third parties.
Our operating philosophy is to provide services and care which meet the individual needs of its residents, and to enhance their physical and mental well-being, thereby allowing them to live longer and to “age in place.” These facilities will offer, on a 24-hour basis, personal, supportive and home health care services appropriate for their residents in a home-like setting, which allow residents to maintain their independence and quality of life. We predict that the average of the residents at our facilities will be between 55 and 70.
Our primary focus will be in China, where we intend to grow and become a leader in senior living facilities. We also will seek to develop or acquire facilities and manage or cooperate with existing facilities as well. We believe that by concentrating or “clustering” our facilities in target areas with desirable demographics, can increase the efficiency of our management resources and achieve broad economies of scale.

The long-term care industry encompasses a wide continuum of services and residential arrangements for elderly senior citizens. Skilled nursing facilities provide the highest level of care and are designed for elderly senior citizens who need chronic nursing and medical attention and are not able to live on their own. Further, skilled nursing facilities tend to be one of the most expensive alternatives while providing elderly senior citizens with limited independence and a diminished quality of life. On the other end of the continuum is home-based care, which typically is provided in an individual’s private residence. While this alternative allows the elderly individual to “age in place” in his or her home and, in certain instances, can provide most of the services available at a skilled nursing facility, it does not foster any sense of community or the ability to participate in group activities.
Assisted living facilities generally are designed to fill the gap in the middle of this continuum. Assisted living facilities have been described by the Assisted Living Federation of America (“ALFA”) as providing a special combination of housing and personal, supportive and home health care services designed to respond to the individual needs of those who need, or desire help with their activities of daily living, including personal care and household management. Services in an assisted living facility are generally available 24 hours a day to meet the scheduled and unscheduled needs of residents, thereby promoting maximum dignity and independence.
The assisted living industry is highly fragmented in China. At present, the industry is characterized by participants who operate only a limited number of facilities and who frequently can offer only basic assistance with a limited number of activities of daily living. We intend to be characterized by the following: (i) the ability to offer premium accommodations and a comprehensive bundle of standard services for a single inclusive monthly fee; (ii) sophisticated, professional management structures and highly trained employees; (iii) a cost-efficient, user-specific prototype facility; and (iv) experience in providing home health care services.
Our facilities will provide services and care which are designed to meet the individual needs of its residents, enhance their physical and mental well-being and promote a supportive, independent and home-like setting. Most of our facilities will be primarily designed as premium facilities at which residents receive a comprehensive, bundled package of standard services for a single monthly fee.
We will strive to combine in our facilities the best aspects of independent living with the protection and safety of assisted living, with trained staff members who provide 24-hour care and monitoring of every resident. The senior living facilities will be designed and decorated to have a home-like atmosphere. Residents will be encouraged to furnish their rooms with personal items they have collected during their lifetime. Our senior living facilities differ from skilled nursing facilities in that our senior living facilities will not provide the more extensive, and costly, nursing and medical care found in nursing homes.
