SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED APRIL 5, 2023

 

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

 

AiXin Life International, Inc.

 

 

$25,000,000

 

Shares of Common Stock

 

This is a public offering of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“common stock”), by AiXin Life International, Inc., a Colorado company. Throughout this prospectus, unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “AiXin Colorado” refer to AiXin Life International, Inc., a holding company, and references to “Aixin Life,” we,” “us,” “our,” the “Registrant,” the “Company” or “our company” are to AiXin Colorado collectively with our PRC Subsidiaries and AiXin BVI. We are offering 6,250,000 shares of Common Stock on a firm commitment basis. We currently expect the public offering price to be $4.00 per share.

 

The offering is being made on a “firm commitment” basis by Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc. See “Underwriting.”

 

Our shares of common stock offered in this prospectus are shares of AiXin Colorado which has no material operations of its own. AiXin Colorado conducts substantially all of its operations through operating companies established in the People’s Republic of China, or the PRC, specifically, Chengdu AiXinZhonghong Biological Technology Co., Ltd, (“AixinZhonghong “), AiXin Shangyan Hotel Management Co. Ltd. (“AiXin Hotel”), Chengdu Aixintang Haichuan Pharmacy (which together with certain affiliated entities is referred to as “Chengdu Aixintang Pharmacies”), and Yunnan Runcangsheng Technology Co., Ltd. (“Runcangsheng,” collectively with AixinZhonghong, Aixin Hotel and Chengdu Aixintang Pharmacies, the “Chinese Operating Companies”). The Chinese Operating Companies are wholly owned through an intermediary company established in Hong Kong named HK AiXin International Group Co., Limited (“AiXin HK” and collectively with our Chinese Operating Companies our “PRC Subsidiaries”), which is owned by an intermediary company (AiXin (BVI) International Group, Ltd., “AiXin BVI”) established in the British Virgin Islands. We are not a Chinese operating company. We are a holding company and do not directly own any substantive business operations in China. Therefore, you will not directly hold any equity interests in our Chinese Operating Companies, AiXin BVI or AiXin HK. Our holding company structure involves unique risks to investors. Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our operating structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our common stock, including causing the value of our common stock to significantly decline or become worthless. For a detailed description of risks related to our corporate structure, see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Holding Company Structure” for detailed discussions.

 

 
 

 

Additionally, as we conduct substantially all of our operations in China, we are subject to legal and operational risks associated with our business operations in China and our holding company in Hong Kong including risks related to the legal, political and economic policies of the PRC government, the relations between China and the United States, or Chinese or United States regulations, which risks could result in a material change in our operations or cause the value of our ordinary shares to significantly decline or become worthless and affect our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors. PRC laws and regulations governing our current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain, and we face the risk that changes in the policies of the PRC government could have a significant impact upon the business we may be able to conduct in the PRC and the profitability of such business. These risks associated with our being based in or conducting substantially all of our operations through operating companies established in China could cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. Furthermore, these risks may result in a material change in our business operations or a complete hinderance of our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors. Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in securities markets, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding efforts to enforce anti-monopoly laws and regulations. As confirmed by our PRC counsel, Sichuan Junhe Law Firm (“Sichuan Junhe”) the business conducted by our subsidiaries until now is not subject to cybersecurity review with the Cyberspace Administration of China, or CAC, given that: (i) we do not possess a large amount of personal information in our business operations and (ii) data that we do possess and process in our business does not have a bearing on national security and thus may not be classified as core or important data by the authorities. In addition, as confirmed by our PRC counsel, Sichuan Junhe, we are not subject to merger control review by China’s anti-monopoly enforcement agency due to the level of revenues reported by us and audited by our auditor KCCW Accountancy Corp, and the fact that we currently do not expect to propose or implement any acquisition of control of, or decisive influence over, any company with revenues within China of more than RMB400 million. To date, the statements and regulatory actions related to cybersecurity and anti-monopoly policies have had no impact on our daily business operations, the ability to accept foreign investments and list our securities on a U.S. or other foreign exchange. As of the date of this prospectus, no effective laws or regulations in the PRC explicitly require us to seek approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) or any other PRC governmental authorities for our overseas listing, nor has our company or any of our subsidiaries received any inquiry, notice, warning or sanctions regarding our overseas listing from the CSRC or any other PRC governmental authorities. However, since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain as to how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond to ongoing developments and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementation policies and interpretations will be promulgated or modified and the potential impact such new laws or modified laws and regulations will have on our daily business operations, the ability to accept foreign investments and list our securities on a U.S. or other foreign exchange. On February 17, 2023, the CSRC released the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Trial Measures”), which will come into effect March 31, 2023. The Trial Measures apply to overseas securities offerings and/or listings conducted by companies incorporated in the PRC, PRC domestic companies, and companies incorporated overseas with operations primarily in the PRC, indirect offerings. The Trial Measures require (1) the filing of the overseas offering and listing plan by the PRC domestic companies with the CSRC under certain conditions, and (2) the filing by underwriters with the CSRC under certain conditions and (3) the submission of an annual report to the CSRC within the required timeline. Based on the advice of our PRC Counsel, this offering will be considered an indirect offering. However, our PRC Counsel has advised that because our common stock currently trades in the U.S., we are not required to submit filings to the CSRC before this offering is completed and this offering is not conditioned on CSRC approval. Rather, within three days of the closing of this offering we must submit filings to the CSRC in accordance with the Trial Measures. If we were to fail to comply with the post-offering filing obligations imposed by the Trial Measures or make a misrepresentation, misleading statement or material omission in the materials we submit to the CSRC, the CSRC would have the right to order rectification, issue a warning and impose a fine on us of between RMB 1 million and RMB 10 million and issuing a warning to the parties responsible for such failure, misrepresentation or material omission and impose a fine on each of such individuals ranging from RMB 500,000 to RMB 5 million. See “Risk Factors” for a discussion of these legal and operational risks and other information that should be considered before making a decision to purchase our common stock.

 

As a holding company, our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders and to service any debt we may incur at the holding company level may depend upon dividends or interest paid by our Chinese Operating Companies and AiXin HK (collectively, our “PRC Subsidiaries”). Current PRC regulations permit our PRC Subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our PRC Subsidiaries is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. As of the date hereof, we have had no transactions that involved the transfer of cash or assets throughout our corporate structure. In order for us to pay dividends to our shareholders we will rely on the distribution of dividends through AiXin HK from our PRC Operating Companies. As of the date hereof, none of our PRC Operating Companies has distributed any cash or other assets to AiXin HK, including by way of dividends or interest payments, AiXin HK has not distributed any cash or other assets to AiXin BVI, and AiXin Colorado and Aixin BVI have not transferred any cash or other assets to any of our PRC Subsidiaries. AiXin Colorado does not currently plan or anticipate transferring cash or other assets from our operations in China to any non-Chinese entity. As of the date hereof, no transfers, dividends or distributions have been made to our investors. To the extent our cash or other assets is in one of our Chinese Operating Companies or AiXin HK, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for use outside of mainland China or Hong Kong including for the payment of dividends to the shareholders of AiXin Colorado, due to interventions by the governments of PRC or Hong Kong, or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of the PRC Subsidiaries to use such cash or assets imposed by the government of mainland China or Hong Kong. See “Prospectus Summary – Summary of Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Our Holding Company Structure,” and “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Our Holding Company Structure - We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC Subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.” For a detailed description of limitations on the Company’s ability to transfer cash through our corporate structure, see “Prospectus Summary - Transfers of Cash to and from our Subsidiaries.”

 

Except for such limitations on our Company’s ability to transfer cash and other assets among our entities currently or hereafter imposed by the governments of the PRC and Hong Kong, there are no limitations on our Company’s ability to transfer cash and other assets through our corporate structure. Our Company does not have any cash management policies with respect to the transfer of cash among our entities other than requirements for the approval of management for transfers in excess of specified amounts and none of our entities is currently party to any debenture, loan or other agreement which imposes restrictions or otherwise limits our Company’s ability to transfer our cash and other assets. We have not adopted any policies that dictate how funds are transferred among our entities other than as necessary to comply with applicable laws. See “Prospectus Summary - Transfers of Cash to and from our Subsidiaries.”

 

 
 

 

Pursuant to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“HFCAA”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) issued a Determination Report on December 16, 2021 which found that the PCAOB was then unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China of the PRC and Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region and dependency of the PRC. In addition, the PCAOB’s report identified the specific registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations. Our registered public accounting firm, KCCW Accountancy Corp. is not headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong and was not identified in this report as a firm subject to the PCAOB’s determinations. KCCW Accountancy Corp. is registered with the PCAOB and is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess KCCW Accountancy Corp.’s compliance with applicable professional standards. KCCW Accountancy Corp. has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis, with the last inspection in 2022. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB will consider the need to issue a new determination. On December 29, 2022, the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“HFCAA”) was enacted, which amended the HFCA Act by decreasing the number of non-inspection years from three years to two, thus reducing the time period before our common stock may be prohibited from trading or delisted if the PCAOB was unable to inspect our auditor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the PCAOB is not able to inspect and investigate completely our auditor’s work papers in China, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection which could result in a limitation on or a restriction to our access to the U.S. capital markets. Further, trading of our securities may be prohibited under the HFCAA and the Nasdaq may determine to delist our securities if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or investigate completely our auditor under the HFCAA. For more details, see “Risk Factors – Risk Associated with Our Company -A recent joint statement by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or the “PCAOB,” proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the newly enacted “Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act” all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to our offering.”

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

You should assume that the information contained in this prospectus and any supplement or amendment hereto is accurate only as of their respective dates, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or of any sale of our common stock. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.

 

On October 27, 2020, we effected a 1-for-4 reverse split of our shares of common stock.

All share and per share numbers contained herein, including those set forth in the financial statements beginning on page F-1, have been adjusted to give effect to our 1-for-4 reverse stock split.

Except as otherwise indicated, all share and per share numbers contained herein other than those set forth in the financial statements beginning on page F-1, have been adjusted to give effect to the 1-for-2 reverse stock split and the reduction in the number of our shares of our common stock outstanding to occur as result of Mr. Lin’s contribution to our capital of 7 million shares of our common stock.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. Before investing in our securities, you should carefully read this entire prospectus, especially the risks of investing in our securities as discussed under “Risk Factors” and the financial statements and notes thereto herein. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the detailed information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

Overview

 

Our Business

 

We, AiXin Life International, Inc. (“AiXin Colorado,” together with our Chinese Operating Companies and PRC Subsidiaries, as appropriate, referred to as “AiXin Life,” the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” unless specified otherwise) are a Colorado holding company with no material operations of our own. We conduct substantially all of our operations through our wholly-owned operating companies in the PRC. This is an offering of common stock of our Colorado holding company. Therefore, you will not directly own any equity interests in our operating companies.

 

Our subsidiaries are (i) AiXin (BVI) International Group Co., Ltd. (“AiXin BVI”), 100% owned by AiXin Colorado, (ii) HK AiXin International Group Co., Limited, a Hong Kong limited company (“AiXin HK”), 100% owned by AiXin BVI, and the following entities, each of which was organized in the PRC, is wholly-owned by AiXin HK and which are collectively referred to as our “Chinese Operating Companies” (iii) Chengdu AiXinZhonghong Biological Technology Co., Ltd. (“AiXinZhonghong”), (iv) Yunnan Runcangsheng Technology Co., Ltd (“Yunnan Runcangsheng”), (v) Chengdu Aixintang Haichuan Pharmacy Co., Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, each of which operates a pharmacy and (vi) AiXin Shangyan Hotel Management Co., Ltd. Our Chinese Operating Companies and AiXin HK are collectively referred to as our “PRC Subsidiaries.”

 

Our holding company structure involves unique risks to investors. Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our operating structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our common stock, including causing the value of our common stock to significantly decline or become worthless. AiXin Colorado is listed on the OTCQX under the symbol “AIXN”.

We are focused on providing health and wellness products to the growing middle class in China. We currently develop, manufacture, market and sell premium-quality healthcare, nutritional products and wellness supplements, including herbs and greens, traditional Chinese remedies, functional products, such as weight management tools, probiotics, foods and drinks. We also offer products purchased from third parties and provide advertising and marketing services to clients which engage us to market and distribute their products. We offer our products and those of clients for which we provide marketing services, through a diversified, omni-channel business model which generates revenues through retail and wholesale product sales, through company-owned pharmacies, direct marketing and e-commerce. Our marketing approach emphasizes proactively approaching customers such as by hosting marketing events for clients, which we believe is ideally suited to marketing the products we offer because sales of healthcare, nutritional products and supplements are strengthened by ongoing personal contact and support, coaching and education among the Company and our clients towards how to achieve a healthy and active lifestyle.

 

In December 2017, when we acquired AiXin BVI, it indirectly owned all of the capital stock of AixinZhonghong, which began distributing nutritional products in 2013.

 

In June 2021, we acquired nine retail pharmacies in Chengdu. We utilize these pharmacies to distribute health and wellness products and serve as learning centers for our clients. Since June 2021 we have added 4 additional pharmacies bringing the number of pharmacies we currently operate to 13. We intend to seek to continue to expand our chain of pharmacies and to use these outlets as part of our overall marketing strategy.

 

More recently, in September 2022, we acquired Yunnan Runcangsheng based in Yunnan Province which engages in the research, development, manufacture and wholesale distribution of health foods. Yunnan Runcangsheng operates a 13,000 square meter production facility, which houses R&D centers, extraction facilities, preparation workshops and a warehouse. Yunnan Runcangsheng has more than 30 sub brands and operates planting facilities where it grows some of the key ingredients used in its products. Many of the products it has developed are specifically targeted to alleviate symptoms associated with the increasingly competitive and pressured lifestyle of the Chinese middle class and disorders associated with changing eating habits and the presence of environmental toxins that are becoming more widespread through the use of western style pesticides and fertilizers.

 

In addition to our acquisitions in the health and nutritional sector, in July 2021, we acquired a hotel located in the Jinniu District, Chengdu City. The hotel covers more than 8,000 square meters and has a large restaurant that can accommodate 600 people, 6 luxury dining rooms, a 200 square meter music tea house, 13 private tea rooms, 108 guest rooms and other supporting facilities. We envision utilizing the hotel to conduct marketing events and seminars for our customers, and training sessions for our personnel at which we introduce new products and services intended to promote healthy living.

 

Business Objectives

 

Key elements of our business strategy are detailed below:

 

Leading brand of nutritional supplements. Our primary goal is to develop recognized brand names with a reputation as a provider of quality health and wellness products which deliver demonstrable benefits to our customers. Our objective is to provide members of the growing Chinese middle class with the information necessary to maintain a healthy lifestyle and to offer a broad and deep mix of products whether the customer is looking to treat a specific health-related issue, maintain their overall wellness or improve their performance. Our premium, value-added offerings will include both proprietary branded products and other branded products provided by third parties to meet needs not met by our in-house products.

 

We believe that by offering a variety of branded exclusive products and a wide range of merchandise, and close customer support and services, we will be able to differentiate our company from competitors and effectively compete against other food, drug and mass channel players, specialty stores, independent vitamin, supplement and natural food shops and online retailers.

Product development and innovation. With the acquisition of Yunnan Runcangsheng we now have the facilities and, more importantly, knowledgeable, experienced personnel to develop high-quality, innovative health foods and nutritional supplements that will be offered by our direct marketing team and available through our company-owned pharmacies, our website and, as demand grows other select marketplaces and wholesale partners. To the extent desirable we will grow our own key ingredients. When we choose to use ingredients of third parties, they will be rigorously tested before they are added to our products, undergoing multiple quality checks to ensure that they meet our high standards for purity, composition and absence of contaminants.

 

We believe our ability to innovate and respond to customer needs by designing new products gives us a significant competitive advantage. At Yunnan Runcangsheng we directly employ scientists, nutritionists, formulators, and quality control experts who work at our research and manufacturing facilities.

 

A differentiated customer experience. One of the key differentiators to our marketing strategy is the continued development of well-trained team members first used at AiXinZhonghong that work closely with customers. We will provide our team members with regular training and education focused on the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, the advantages of our products and solution-based selling. With their knowledge of the available products our team members can engage customers in conversation, access the customer’s purchasing history through our data base, share product information and testimonials, and recommend solutions and help customers add complimentary products and build wellness regimens. We operate in a highly personalized, aspirational sector and believe that health food and nutritional supplement consumers often desire and seek out product expertise and knowledgeable customer service.

 

Our loyalty programs used early on by AiXinZhonghong will allow us to develop and maintain a large and loyal customer base, provide targeted offers and information, and connect with our customers on a regular basis. We routinely harness data generated by these programs to better understand customers’ buying behaviors and needs, so we can deliver a stronger experience, bring like-minded consumers into the channel and make well-informed decisions about our business.

 

As we grow and develop our customer base, we can use our hotel as a site for educational seminars, conferences and marketing events featuring well known experts in the wellness sector. These events can be used to increase customer loyalty and to educate our team members as to the benefits of a healthy life style and our products so they can better serve our customers by guiding them to products that meet their needs.,

 

Omni-channel development. We believe our diversified, omni-channel model, which includes company-owned pharmacies, direct marketing by our team members, individually and at large scale company sponsored marketing events, wholesale locations and e-commerce channels, can differentiate us from many of our competitors, particularly those that rely exclusively on online marketing efforts. Our strategy is to give consumers a seamless, integrated experience across digital, mobile and in-store channels and in every interaction with us and our products.

 

Through our website and in conversations with our well-trained team members, customers can research our products and purchase them online or at one of our local pharmacies or sales offices. We believe our physical store base provides a competitive advantage, allowing customers to experience our products and get expert advice from our team members.

 

Vertical Integration. We believe that our multi-channel distribution model, combined with our research, development and manufacturing capabilities offers us a unique advantage over our competitors. The daily feedback received from interactions between our team members and customers will be monitored to recognize what our customers want and rapidly develop products to meet their desires. Instead of simply responding to trends in the market, we will seek to bring new topical products to the market before they are generally available.

We, AiXin Life International, Inc. (“AiXin Life” or “AiXin Colorado”), are a corporation organized under the laws of Colorado. We are a holding company with no material operations of our own. We conduct all of our operations through our wholly owned subsidiaries which are operating companies established in the PRC.

(“AiXin BVI”), an entity organized in the British Virgin Islands which is wholly owned by us.

 

Our subsidiaries are (i) AiXin BVI, (ii) AiXin HK, and the following entities, each of which was organized in the PRC and which are collectively referred to as our “Chinese Operating Companies” (iii) Chengdu AiXinZhonghong Biological Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese limited company (“AiXinZhonghong”), (iv) Yunnan Runcangsheng Technology Co., Ltd (“Yunnan Runcangsheng”), (v) Chengdu Aixintang Haichuan Pharmacy Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries, each of which operates a pharmacy and (vi) AiXin Shangyan Hotel Management Co., Ltd.

Risks Associated with Our Company

 

The health and wellness industry is highly competitive and we face fierce competition from numerous industry participants, including many larger, well capitalized nationally and internationally recognized companies, see “Risk Factors — Risks Associated with Our Company — We operate in a highly competitive industry and our failure to compete effectively could adversely affect our market share, revenues and growth prospects.
   
We first entered the health and wellness business in 2017 when we acquired AiXin BVI. Consequently, we have a limited operating history on which to evaluate our prospects, see “Risk Factors — Risks Associated with Our Company — We have a limited operating history on which to judge our performance and assess our prospects for success.”
   
We recently completed a significant acquisition and intend to seek to expand through future acquisitions. Our future expansion plans are subject to uncertainties and risks. For more details, see “Risk Factors – Risks Associated with Our Company – Our recently completed acquisition is subject to uncertainties and risks” and – “Our future expansion plans are subject to uncertainties and risks.
   
Our success depends upon our ability to anticipate and timely react to changes in consumers demands, see “Risk Factors – Risks Associated with Our Company - Failure to effectively anticipate consumer preferences could negatively impact the demand for our products and our ability to generate revenues and the market price of our common stock.”
   
We may not succeed in our efforts to develop new products which could cause us to devote our resources to projects that do not succeed, see “Risk Factors – Risks Associated with Our Company—Resources devoted to product innovation may not yield new products that achieve commercial success.”
   
Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain customers through a coordinated omni channel distribution network which includes pharmacies, direct marketing and e-commerce. If we do not succeed in these efforts we may fail to grow our customer base. For more details, see “Risk Factors – Risks Associated with Our Company – If we do not successfully develop and maintain a robust omni-channel experience for our customers, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.”
   
If we fail to succeed in developing and protecting our brand names we could fail in our efforts to grow our customer base, see “Risk Factors – Risks Associated with Our Company —If we fail to develop and protect our brand names and reputation, we may not attract and retain new customers which could adversely affect our revenues and financial performance.”
   
We are highly dependent upon consumer perception of our products and unfavorable publicity about us or our business may materially and adversely affect our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition. For more details, see “Risk Factors – Risks Associated with Our Company –Unfavorable publicity about us or consumer perception of our products, the ingredients they contain and any similar products distributed by other companies could cause fluctuations in our operating results and could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, the demand for our products and our ability to generate revenues and the market price of our common stock.”
   

We face risks related to our ability to effectively source raw materials and any adverse change in the supply or cost of raw materials may adversely affect our business. See “Risk Factors – Risks Associated with Our Company -A significant disruption to our timely receipt of raw materials and inventory could adversely impact sales and operations or increase our transportation costs, which would decrease our profits.

   
We are highly dependent upon the services of Quanzhong Lin, our President, Chief Executive Officer and principal shareholder. The loss of his services could have a Material adverse impact on our business. See, Risk Factors – Risks Associated with Our Company - Our business depends on the continued contributions made by Mr. Quanzhong Lin, our key executive officer. The loss of his services may result in a severe impediment to our business.”

General Risks Associated with Business Operations in China

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization announced that infections caused by the coronavirus disease of 2019 (“COVID-19”) had become pandemic. Economies throughout the world have been severely disrupted by the effects of the pandemic and the quarantines, stay at home orders, business closures and the reluctance of individuals to leave their homes resulting from the outbreak of the Covid-19 Pandemic. China recently moved away from its reliance upon a “zero-tolerance” policy pursuant to which it had declared a number of total and partial lockdowns in cities throughout China, including Chengdu. These lockdowns and accompanying travel restrictions have adversely impacted many industries in China. It has been reported that the number of COVID-19 cases in China has surged after the government abandoned its zero-tolerance policy. It is likely that this sudden increase in COVID cases will cause many individuals to voluntarily restrict their travel which could adversely impact many industries in China, including the industries in which we operate, see “Risk Factors — General Risks Associated with Business Operation in China – Recent developments related to the global outbreak of the novel strain of the coronavirus known as “COVID-19 and the possibility of future outbreaks.”
   
The Chinese government may intervene or influence our operations at any time or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could result in material changes in our operations and/or the value of your common stock. For more details, see “Risk Factors – General Risks Associated with Business Operation in China - The PRC government has significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of a PRC company’s business operations or to exert control over any offering of securities conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, and may intervene with or influence our operations, may limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, and may cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless, as the government deems appropriate to further regulatory, political and societal goals.”
   

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC released the Trial Measures, which come into effect March 31, 2023. The Trial Measures apply to overseas securities offerings and/or listings conducted by companies incorporated in the PRC, PRC domestic companies, directly and companies incorporated overseas with operations primarily in the PRC, indirect offerings. The Trial Measures require (1) the filings of the overseas offering and listing plan by the PRC domestic companies with the CSRC under certain conditions, (2) filings by the underwriters with the CSRC under certain conditions and (3) the submission of an annual report to the CSRC within the required timeline.

 

On the day it released the Trial Measures, the CSRC held a press conference and issued the Notice on Administration for the Filing of Overseas Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (“Notice on Overseas Filing”), which, among others, clarified that: (i) PRC domestic companies that have submitted applications for an overseas offering and listing on or prior to the effective date of the Trial Measures but have not obtained approval from overseas regulatory authorities or stock exchanges may reasonably arrange the timing for submitting their filing applications with the CSRC, and should complete the filing before the completion of their overseas offering and listing; (ii) a six-month transition period will be granted to PRC companies in which they can complete an overseas offering and listing provided they obtained the approval for the offering from an overseas regulatory authority or stock exchange (such as the effectiveness of a registration statement in the United States) prior to March 31, 2023 and (iii) companies subject to the Trial Measures which have securities which trade in an overseas market prior to the effectiveness of the Trial Measures will need to file with the CSRC within three days of the completion of a follow-on offering.

 

Based on the advice of our PRC Counsel, this offering will be considered an indirect offering and we will need to fulfill filing obligations pursuant to the Trial Measures within three days of the completion of this offering. If we were to fail to comply with the post-offering filing obligations imposed by the Trial Measures or make a misrepresentation, misleading statement or material omission in the materials we submit to the CSRC, the CSRC would have the right to order rectification, issue a warning and impose a fine on us of between RMB 1 million and RMB 10 million and issuing a warning to the parties responsible for such failure, misrepresentation or material omission and impose a fine on each of such individuals ranging from RMB 500,000 to RMB 5 million.

 

The Trial Measures may subject us to additional compliance requirement in the future. Any failure to fully comply with new regulatory requirements may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our shares, cause significant disruption to our business operations, and severely damage our reputation, which would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and cause our ordinary shares to significantly decline in value or become worthless. See “Risk Factors – General Risks Associated with Business Operations in China — The CSRC has released the Trial Measures requiring Chinese domestic companies to complete filings with the CSRC if they complete an overseas offering and listing of their securities.”

   
On February 24, 2023, the CSRC, together with other PRC government authorities, released the Provisions on Strengthening the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Related to the Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Enterprises (the “Confidentiality and Archives Provisions”), which went into effect March 31, 2023. The Confidentiality and Archives Provisions require, among other items, that PRC domestic enterprises seeking to offer and list securities in overseas markets, establish an archival system which will maintain the confidentiality of information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Further, if a PRC domestic enterprise plans, directly or indirectly, to release documents or provide material that contain state secrets or government work secrets, or that will jeopardize national security or the public interest, it must strictly comply with all relevant governmental procedures and obtain approval of the appropriate regulatory before doing so. Although our PR Counsel has advised us that although we are subject to the Confidentiality and Archives Provisions, we believe that none of the documents or materials we intend to provide to parties outside of the PRC contains materials that would require us to make any filing or obtain any approval of a Chinese regulatory authority. Nevertheless, the determination of whether information contains state secrets, government work secrets or jeopardizes national security or the public interest is subjective and any failure or perceived failure by us or our subsidiaries to comply with the confidentiality and archive administration requirements under the Confidentiality and Archives Provisions could cause us to be referred for criminal investigation and held liable for such violations by the authorities in China. Further, PRC regulatory authorities could use these regulations to limit our disclosures or interfere with our operations. Any determination that we have violated the Confidentiality and Archives Provisions or use of these provisions to limit our disclosures could cause the value of our common stock to significantly decline in value or become worthless. See “Risk Factors – General Risks Associated with Business Operations in China — The CSRC has released rules for China-based companies seeking to conduct initial public offerings in foreign markets. The Chinese government may exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our common stock to investors and could cause the value of our common stock to significantly decline or become worthless.”

We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC Subsidiaries and loans between us and our PRC Subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we or any of our PRC Subsidiaries may have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC Subsidiaries to make payments to or transfer funds to us or our other PRC Subsidiaries could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business and the ability of our PRC Subsidiaries to conduct their respective businesses. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC Subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our PRC Subsidiaries is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. As of the date hereof, we have had no transactions that involved the transfer of cash or assets throughout our corporate structure. The PRC Subsidiaries have not transferred cash or other assets to AiXin BVI or AiXin Colorado, including by way of dividends or interest payments and AiXin BVI and AiXin Colorado have not transferred cash or other assets to any of our PRC Subsidiaries. AiXin Colorado does not currently plan or anticipate transferring cash or other assets from our operations in China to any non-Chinese entity. As of the date hereof, no transfers, dividends or distributions have been made to our investors. To the extent our cash or other assets is in one of our Chinese Operating Companies or AiXin HK, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for use outside of mainland China or Hong Kong due to interventions by the governments of PRC or Hong Kong, or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of the PRC Subsidiaries to use such cash or assets imposed by the government of mainland China or Hong Kong. Except for such limitations on our Company’s ability to transfer cash and other assets among our entities currently or hereafter imposed by the governments of the PRC and Hong Kong, there are no limitations on our Company’s ability to transfer cash and other assets through our corporate structure. Our Company does not have any cash management policies with respect to the transfer of cash among our entities other than requirements for the approval of management for transfers in excess of specified amounts and none of our entities is currently party to any debenture, loan or other agreement which imposes restrictions or otherwise limits our Company’s ability to transfer our cash and other assets. We have not adopted any policies that dictate how funds are transferred among our entities other than as necessary to comply with applicable laws. For more details, see “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Our Holding Company Structure - We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC Subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.” and “Prospectus Summary - Transfers of Cash to and from our Subsidiaries.”

   
PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of this offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC Subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

PRC Limitation on Overseas Listing and Share Issuances

 

As confirmed by our PRC counsel, Sichuan Junhe Law Firm (“Sichuan Junhe”), neither we nor our subsidiaries are currently required to obtain approval from Chinese authorities, including the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, or Cybersecurity Administration Committee, or CAC, to list on U.S. exchanges or issue securities to foreign investors. We are, however, required by the Trial Measures to submit a filing with the CSRC within three days after the completion of this offering. If we were to fail to comply with the post-offering filing obligations imposed by the Trial Measures or make a misrepresentation, misleading statement or material omission in the materials we submit to the CSRC, the CSRC would have the right to order rectification, issue a warning and impose a fine on us of between RMB 1 million and RMB 10 million and issuing a warning to the parties responsible for such failure, misrepresentation or material omission and impose a fine on each of such individuals ranging from RMB 500,000 to RMB 5 million.

 

If our PRC Subsidiaries or AiXin Colorado were required to obtain approval in the future and were denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, we would not be able to continue listing on any U.S. exchange, which would materially affect the interests of investors in our securities. It is uncertain when and whether we will be required to obtain permission from the PRC government to list on U.S. exchanges in the future, and even if such permission is obtained, whether it will be rescinded. Although we currently are not required to obtain permission from any of the PRC central or local government agencies and have not been denied the right to list on a U.S. exchange by any Chinese governmental authority, our operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations denying us the right to list on any U.S. exchange. If we inadvertently conclude that such approvals are not required when they are, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we are required to obtain approval in the future, our operations and the interests of our shareholders could be adversely affected. For more detailed information, see “Risk Factors – General Risks Associated with Business Operations in China – While the approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission is not currently required for this offering, it may be required in the future in connection with this offering under the M&A Rules and, if required, we cannot predict whether we will be able to obtain such approval.”

 

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC released regulations for the filing-based administration of direct and indirect overseas securities offerings and listings by domestic companies incorporated in Mainland China. The regulations are effective March 31, 2023. The regulations are comprised of the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by China-based Companies (the “Trial Measures”) and five supporting guidelines. The Trial Measures lay out the filing regulations for both direct and indirect overseas listings and clarify the criteria for determining whether a listing constitutes an indirect overseas listing in an overseas market.

 

An offering and listing by an overseas company will be deemed an indirect offering by a China-based company: if (i) more than 50% of the overseas company’s consolidated revenues, profit, total assets or net assets as indicated by its audited consolidated financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year are attributable to PRC domestic companies, and (ii) one of (a) key components of its operations are carried out in Mainland China; (b) its principal places of business are located in Mainland China; or (c) the majority of the senior management members in charge of operations are Mainland China citizens or residents, is true. The determination is made on the basis of a “substance over form” review.

 

If a China-based company seeks to indirectly offer and list securities in an overseas market, it is required to designate a major Chinese operating entity to be responsible for processing all filings with the CSRC. With respect to an initial offering and listing overseas, the initial filing with the CSRC is to be made within three business days of the date on which the overseas application is submitted. In the case of a follow-on offering in the same overseas market where a Chinese based company has previously offered and listed securities, the issuer shall submit filings with the CSRC within three business days after the follow-on offering is completed.

 

In addition, an overseas offering and listing is prohibited if: (1) the intended securities offering and listing is specifically prohibited by PRC law, regulations or relevant national provisions; (2) the State Council determines that the intended securities offering and listing endanger the national security of the PRC; (3) in the past three years, the issuer or its controlling shareholders or the actual parties controlling the issuer have been convicted of committing corruption, bribery, embezzlement, misappropriation of property, or other criminal offenses disruptive to the order of the Chinese socialist market economy, or are under judicial investigation for suspicion of criminal offenses or major violations; (4) the issuer is suspected of committing any crimes or serious violations of laws and regulations and is under an investigation which has not been concluded; (5) there are material disputes with regard to the ownership of the securities of the relevant Chinese entity by its controlling shareholders or shareholders or by the parties actually in control of the issuer. The Trial Measures provide that in the event of an issuer’s breach of the Trial Measures, such as a failure to comply with the filing obligations, conducting an overseas securities offering and listing in violation of the Trial Measures or making a misrepresentation, misleading statement or material omission in the materials submitted to the CSRC by the issuer, the CSRC shall order rectification, issue warnings to the issuer, and, impose a fine between RMB 1 million and RMB 10 million on the issuer, and further, that the parties responsible for such breach, failure, misrepresentation or material omission shall be warned and each shall be subject to a fine ranging from RMB 500,000 to RMB 5 million.

 

On the date of the release of the Trial Measures, the CSRC held a press conference and issued the Notice on Administration for the Filing of Overseas Offering and Listing by China-based Companies, which clarified that: (i) China-based companies that have submitted applications for an overseas offering and listing on or prior to the effective date of the Trial Measures, but have not obtained approval from overseas regulatory authorities or stock exchanges may reasonably arrange the timing for submitting their filing applications with the CSRC and should complete the filing before the completion of their overseas offering and listing; (ii) a six-month transition period will be granted to China-based companies in which they can complete an overseas offering and listing provided that they have obtained approval from an overseas regulatory authority or stock exchange (such as effectiveness of a registration statement in the market of the United States) prior to March 31, 2023 and (iii) companies which have securities which trade in an overseas market prior to the effective date of the Trial Measures will need to file with the CSRC pursuant to the Trial Measures within three days of completion of a follow-on offering. 

 

Because our PRC subsidiaries accounted for more than 50% of our consolidated revenues, profit, total assets and net assets in 2021 and 2022, and key components of our operations are carried out in Mainland China, the offering by us pursuant to this registration statement is deemed by the CSRC to be an indirect offering and we will need to fulfill filing obligations pursuant to the Trial Measures after we have completed this offering. “Risk Factors – General Risks Associated with Business Operations in China — The CSRC has released the Trial Measures requiring Chinese domestic companies to complete filings with the CSRC if they complete an overseas offering and listing of their securities.”

 

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC, together with other PRC government authorities, released the Provisions on Strengthening the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Related to the Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Enterprises (the “Confidentiality and Archives Provisions”), which come into effect March 31, 2023. The Confidentiality and Archives Provisions require, among other items, that PRC domestic enterprises seeking to offer and list securities in overseas markets, shall establish an archival system which will maintain the confidentiality of information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Further, if a PRC domestic enterprise plans, directly or indirectly, to release documents or provide material that contain state secrets or government work secrets, or that will jeopardize national security or the public interest, it must strictly comply with all relevant governmental procedures and obtain approval of the appropriate regulatory before doing so. Although our PRC Counsel has advised us that we are subject to the Confidentiality and Archives Provisions, we believe that none of the documents or materials we intend to provide to parties outside of the PRC contains materials that would require us to make any filing or obtain any approval of a Chinese regulatory authority. Nevertheless, the determination of whether information contains state secrets, government work secrets or jeopardizes national security or the public interest is subjective and any failure or perceived failure by us or our subsidiaries to comply with the confidentiality and archive administration requirements under the Confidentiality and Archives Provisions could cause us to be referred for criminal investigation and held liable for such violations by the authorities in China. Further, PRC regulatory authorities could use these regulations to limit our disclosures or interfere with our operations. Any determination that we have violated the Confidentiality and Archives Provisions or use of these provisions to limit our disclosures could cause the value of our common stock to significantly decline in value or become worthless. See “Risk Factors – General Risks Associated with Business Operations in China — The CSRC has released rules for China-based companies seeking to conduct initial public offerings in foreign markets. The Chinese government may exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our common stock to investors and could cause the value of our common stock to significantly decline or become worthless.”

 

We also reviewed our operations with our PRC counsel as to the applicability of the Measures for Cybersecurity review administered by the CAC. During this review we and our PRC counsel determined that we are not a “critical information infrastructure operator” as we do not operate or maintain any infrastructure used by the public to communicate or transmit information. We further determined that we possess only limited personal information with respect to any individual, currently have personal information pertaining to fewer than 1 million individuals and the data we process in our business does not have a bearing on national security and thus may not be classified as core or important data by the authorities and, consequently, we and our PRC counsel concluded that we are not subject to cybersecurity review by the CAC. See “Risk Factors - Our business may be subject to a variety of PRC laws and obligations regarding cybersecurity and date protection.”

 

As of the date of this prospectus, other than confirming with our PRC that our offering under this prospectus does not require the examination and approval of the CSRC in accordance with the existing PRC legislation and regulations, we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanctions or regulatory objection to this offering from the CSRC, CAC or any other PRC governmental authorities, and we believe our PRC Subsidiaries have obtained all requisite permissions and approvals from PRC governmental authorities to operate our business as currently conducted under relevant PRC laws and regulations.

 

Currently, each of our Chinese Operating Companies holds and maintains a business license issued by the local market supervision and administration bureau and has received all requisite permissions and approvals in order to conduct and operate its business. As of the date of this prospectus, none of our Chinese Operating Companies has been denied a business license or punished by relevant governmental authorities due to its business operations. In addition, we and our non-PRC subsidiaries have also received all requisite permissions and approvals in order to conduct and operate our business.

Transfers of Cash to and from our Subsidiaries

 

We (AiXin Colorado) are a Colorado holding company with no material operations of our own. We conduct all of our operations through operating companies established in the PRC. As a result, our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders and to service any debt we may incur may depend upon dividends paid by our PRC Subsidiaries. If any of our subsidiaries incurs debt on its own, the instruments governing such debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends to us or otherwise transfer funds to us or any of our other subsidiaries. In addition, our PRC Subsidiaries are required to make appropriations to certain statutory reserve funds, which are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of a liquidation of the company at a time when it is solvent.

 

Current PRC regulations permit our PRC Subsidiaries to pay dividends to us through AiXin HK, our intermediate holding subsidiary in Hong Kong, only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. As of the date hereof, none of our PRC Subsidiaries has distributed any dividends to AiXin HK. Except for such limitations on our Company’s ability to transfer cash and other assets among our entities currently or hereafter imposed by the governments of the PRC and Hong Kong, there are no limitations on our Company’s ability to transfer cash and other assets through our corporate structure. Our Company does not have any cash management policies with respect to the transfer of cash among our entities other than requirements for the approval of management for transfers in excess of specified amounts and none of our entities is currently party to any debenture, loan or other agreement which imposes restrictions or otherwise limits our Company’s ability to transfer our cash and other assets. We have not adopted any policies that dictate how funds are transferred among our entities other than as necessary to comply with applicable laws.

 

The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies outside the PRC. Therefore, we may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from our profits, if any, or for any other purpose. To the extent our cash or other assets is in one of our Chinese Operating Companies or AiXin HK, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for use outside of mainland China or Hong Kong including for the payment of dividends to the shareholders of AiXin Colorado, due to interventions by the governments of PRC or Hong Kong, or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of the PRC Subsidiaries to use such cash or assets imposed by the government of mainland China or Hong Kong. See “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Our Holding Company Structure - We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC Subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.”

 

Cash dividends, if any, on our common stock will be paid in U.S. dollars. If we are considered a PRC tax resident enterprise for tax purposes, any dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders may be regarded as China-sourced income and as a result may be subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of up to 10.0%.

 

Pursuant to the Arrangement between Mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Tax Evasion on Income, or the Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement, the 10% withholding tax rate may be lowered to 5% if a Hong Kong resident enterprise owns no less than 25% of a PRC project. However, the 5% withholding tax rate does not automatically apply and certain requirements must be satisfied, including without limitation that (a) the Hong Kong enterprise must be the beneficial owner of the relevant dividends; and (b) the Hong Kong enterprise must directly hold no less than 25% share ownership in the PRC project during the 12 consecutive months preceding its receipt of the dividends. In current practice, a Hong Kong entity must obtain a tax resident certificate from the Hong Kong tax authority to apply for the 5% lower PRC withholding tax rate. As the Hong Kong tax authority will issue such a tax resident certificate on a case-by-case basis, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority and enjoy the preferential withholding tax rate of 5% under the Double Taxation Arrangement with respect to dividends to be paid by any of our Chinese Operating Companies to AiXin HK. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not applied for the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority. AiXin HK intends to apply for the tax resident certificate at such time as one of our Chinese Operating Companies plans to declare and pay a dividend to AiXin HK. See “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Our Holding Company Structure – We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC Subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC Subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.

 

As of the date hereof, we have had no transactions that involved the transfer of cash or assets throughout our corporate structure. The PRC Subsidiaries have not transferred cash or other assets to AiXin BVI or AiXin Colorado, including by way of dividends, and AiXin BVI and AiXin Colorado have not transferred cash or other assets to any of our PRC Subsidiaries. AiXin Colorado does not currently plan or anticipate causing any of our PRC Subsidiaries to transfer cash or other assets from our operations in China to any non-Chinese entity. As of the date hereof, no transfers, dividends, or distributions have been made to our investors. Our Company is not currently party to any debenture, loan or other agreement which imposes restrictions or otherwise limits our Company’s ability to transfer our cash and other assets and we have not adopted any policies that dictate how funds are transferred other than requirements for the approval of management for transfers in excess of specified amounts and as necessary to comply with applicable laws. Except for such limitations on our Company’s ability to transfer cash and other assets among our entities currently or hereafter imposed by the governments of the PRC and Hong Kong, there are no limitations on our Company’s ability to transfer cash and other assets through our corporate structure. Our Company is not currently party to any debenture, loan or other agreement which imposes restrictions or otherwise limits our Company’s ability to transfer our cash and other assets and we have not adopted any policies that dictate how funds are transferred other than requirements for the approval of management for transfers in excess of specified amounts and as necessary to comply with applicable laws. See “Prospectus Summary - Transfers of Cash to and from our Subsidiaries.”

 

You may not have the Ability to Obtain an Adequate Remedy at Law Against us or our Management

 

AiXin Colorado, the entity in which you will acquire shares is a holding company. All of our operations are conducted by and practically all of our cash and other assets are owned by operating businesses in the PRC. In addition, nearly all of our officers and directors, specifically, Quanzhong Lin, Huiliang Jiao and Tianfeng Li are PRC nationals and residents of China and all of their assets are located outside the United States. In addition, Yao-Te Wang one of our directors is a resident of Taiwan, resides in Taiwan and all of his assets are located outside the United States. Christopher Lee, our remaining director, resides outside of the United States for a significant portion of time and portions of his assets are located outside the United States. In order to commence an action against any of our directors and officers, a United States Court may require that you effect personal service of the complaint on the intended defendant. Although there are international conventions for serving process on prospective defendants outside the United States, such service may take an extraordinary amount of time and in order to be completed, may require the cooperation of courts in the jurisdiction where the intended defendant resides. Further, should the individual seek to avoid service of process, it may be more difficult to effect service than it would be in the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process upon us or our directors and officers outside of the United States and, in particular, inside China or to bring actions against us or our management in China.

 

Shareholder claims and other causes of action that are common in the United States, including securities law class actions and fraud claims, generally are difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in China. For example, in China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to obtaining information needed for shareholder investigations or litigation outside China. Although the local authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authorities of another country or region to implement cross-border supervision and administration, such regulatory cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the Unities States has not been effective. According to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct an investigation or evidence collection activities within the territory of the PRC. Accordingly, without the consent of competent PRC securities regulators and relevant authorities, no organization or individual may provide the documents and materials relating to securities business activities to overseas parties outside of the PRC.

 

China does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts with the United States and many other countries and regions. Thus, there is no mechanism currently in place for enforcing a judgement in China. Even judgements from countries that have an enforcement treaty with China are often not enforceable in China. Therefore, recognition and enforcement in China of judgments of a court in any non-PRC jurisdiction in relation to any matter may be difficult or impossible. Further, although we are not s state owned enterprise, many businesses in China are owned in whole or in part by the Chinese government. If enforcement of a judgement against us would have an adverse impact on a state owned enterprise, local officials may be reluctant to cooperate in any enforcement action. Further, to the extent that a substantial portion of our outstanding shares of common stock are owned by Chinese residents that might be harmed by enforcement of a judgement against us, such residents may seek to prevent such enforcement.

 

We currently do not have Directors and Officers Insurance (“D&O Insurance”). Even if we obtain such insurance prior to completion of this offering, there is no guarantee that it will remain in place. The prevalence of D&O Insurance may be one of the reasons there is an active group of attorneys that seek to bring shareholder claims and other causes of action that are common in the United States, including securities law class actions and fraud claims, against public companies and their management. The absence of such insurance may make it more difficult for our shareholders to engage an attorney willing to commence an action against us or our management.

Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act

 

Trading in our securities may be prohibited under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or investigate completely our auditor.

 

Pursuant to the HFCAA, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report on December 16, 2021 which found that the PCAOB was then unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (1) mainland China of the People’s Republic of China because of a position taken by one or more authorities in mainland China; and (2) Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region and dependency of the PRC, because of a position taken by one or more authorities in Hong Kong. In addition, the PCAOB’s report identified the specific registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations. On August 26, 2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance, and the PCAOB signed the Protocol to allow the PCAOB to inspect and investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong, consistent with the HFCAA. Pursuant to the fact sheet with respect to the Protocol disclosed by the SEC, the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB will consider the need to issue a new determination. On December 29, 2022, the AHCAA was enacted, which amended the HFCAA by decreasing the number of non-inspection years from three years to two, thus reducing the time period before our ordinary shares may be prohibited from trading or delisted.

 

Our auditor, KCCW Accountancy Corp., is an independent public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB, and as an auditor of publicly traded companies in the U.S., is subject to laws in the U.S. pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. KCCW Accountancy Corp. is based in the United States and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis, with the last inspection in 2022. KCCW Accountancy Corp., is not headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong and was not identified as a firm subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. Nevertheless, should the PCAOB be unable to fully conduct inspection of our auditor’s work papers in China, it will make it difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures or equity control procedures. Investors may consequently lose confidence in our reported financial information and procedures or quality of the financial statements, which would adversely affect us and our securities. See “Risk Factors—Risks Associated with Our Company— A recent joint statement by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or the “PCAOB,” proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the newly enacted “Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act” all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to our offering.”

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on our management’s belief and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, those listed under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this prospectus and those documents which we have filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

The forward-looking statements in this prospectus represent our views as of the date of this prospectus. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. You should therefore not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this prospectus.

 

You should also consider carefully the statements under “Risk Factors” and other sections of this prospectus, which address additional facts that could cause our actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. We caution investors not to place significant reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

RISK FACTORS

 

You should carefully consider the risks described below and elsewhere in this prospectus, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. Our business faces significant risks and the risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may materially affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition. If any of these risks occur, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should consider our business and prospects in light of the challenges we face, including the ones discussed in this section. In the event that any of the events described in the risk factors below occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our operations and cash flow and cause the value of our securities to decline in value or become worthless.

 

Risks Associated with Our Company

 

We operate in a highly competitive industry and our failure to compete effectively could adversely affect our market share, revenues and growth prospects.

 

The market for health and wellness products is large, highly fragmented and intensely competitive. Current and prospective participants include specialty retailers, supermarkets, drugstores, mass merchants, multi-level marketing organizations, online merchants, mail-order companies and a variety of other smaller participants. The market is also highly sensitive to the introduction of new products, which may rapidly gain consumer acceptance. We compete for sales with heavily advertised brands manufactured by large pharmaceutical and food companies, as well as other brands, some of which have greater market presence, name recognition and financial, marketing and other resources, including some competitors that may spend more aggressively on advertising and promotional activities than we do. Further, if we fail to build out our e-commerce platform or fail to provide our customers with a desired omni-channel experience, we may lose business to online retailers with a more robust and engaging e-commerce platform.

 

Further, the ability of consumers to compare prices on a real-time basis through the use of smartphones and digital technology puts additional pressure on us to maintain competitive pricing. We compete in multiple product categories and sales channels, including pharmaceutical stores, wholesale to specialty store formats, direct marketing and increasingly internet-based and direct-sell retailers and vendors. Many factors affect the extent to which competition could affect our results, including as it relates to pricing, quality, assortment, marketing, promotions and advertising, service, locations, capital expenditures, category share and reputation, any of which could have a material effect on our results of operations.

 

We have a limited operating history on which to judge our performance and assess our prospects for future success.

 

We first entered the health and wellness business in December 2017 when we acquired AiXin BVI, which at that time owned all of the equity of AiXin Zhonghong, then engaged in the distribution of health and wellness foods. Consequently, we have a limited operating history on which to evaluate our prospects in the health and wellness industry. We may fail to continue our growth. You should not consider our historical growth and expansion of our business through acquisitions as indicative of our ability to grow in the future.

 

Our recently completed acquisition is subject to uncertainties and risks.

 

We recently completed a significant acquisition. There is no assurance that we will realize the benefits anticipated from our acquisition of Yunnan Runcangsheng. There is no assurance that the members of the management of Yunnan Runcangsheng that choose to join our company can be successfully integrated into our management. The process of combining the operations of Yunnan Runcangsheng with our existing operations could have a material adverse effect on us and our financial condition.

 

Our future expansion plans are subject to uncertainties and risks.

 

We intend to seek to expand our operations through acquisitions. The implementation of such plan requires us to integrate any newly acquired business and its management teams. If we fail to effectively and efficiently implement our plan for acquisitions, we may not be successful in achieving profitable results. Even if we effectively and efficiently implement our future plans, there may be other unexpected events or factors that prevent us from achieving success. Our management has limited experience in effecting a rapid expansion and in managing larger operations. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects may be materially and adversely affected if our future expansion plans fail to achieve positive results.

 

Failure to effectively anticipate consumer preferences could negatively impact the demand for our products and our ability to generate revenues and the market price of our common stock.

 

Our success also depends on our ability to anticipate and respond in a timely manner to changing consumer demand, consumer preferences, and shopping patterns regarding health and wellness products. Consumer preferences cannot be predicted with certainty and are subject to continual change and evolution. Additionally, our customers may have expectations about how they shop in stores or through e-Commerce or more generally engage with businesses across different channels or media (through online and other digital or mobile channels or particular forms of social media), which may change over time which may make it more difficult for us to adapt to rapid changes in consumer preferences.

 

15
 

 

Our sales may decline significantly if we misjudge the market for our new products, which may result in significant inventory markdowns and lower margins, missed opportunities for other products, or inventory write-downs, and could have a negative impact on our reputation and profitability.

 

Resources devoted to product innovation may not yield new products that achieve commercial success.

 

Our ability to develop new and innovative products or identify and acquire new and innovative products from third-party vendors, depends on, among other factors, our ability to understand evolving market trends and translate our insights into identifying, and then designing and manufacturing or otherwise obtaining, commercially successful new products. If we are unable to do so, our customer relationships and product sales could be harmed significantly. The health and wellness industry is characterized by rapid and frequent changes in demand for products. Our failure to accurately predict these trends could harm our customer relationships and cause us to fail to grow our revenues. The development of new and innovative products requires significant investment in research and development and testing of new ingredients, formulas and possibly new production processes. The research and development process entails considerable uncertainty. Products may appear promising in development but fail to reach market within the expected time frame, or at all. Further, products also may fail to achieve commercial success. Finally, there is no guarantee that our development teams will be able to successfully respond to competitive products that could render some of our offerings obsolete.

 

If we do not successfully develop and maintain a robust omni-channel experience for our customers, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

 

Omni-channel retailing where customers are accessed through various coordinated channels, is rapidly evolving, and we must keep pace with changing customer expectations and new developments by our competitors. The growing middle class in China is increasingly seeking relevant information regarding healthy lifestyles and products that promote a healthy life. In addition, customers are increasingly shopping for products online instead of in traditional brick-and-mortar shopping centers and retail locations. As part of our omni-channel strategy, we anticipate the need to continue making investments in technology and to provide ready means for our customers to access the information and products they want in a comfortable environment. If we are unable to make, improve, or develop relevant channels to interact with customers in a timely manner, our ability to compete and our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, if our e-commerce businesses or our other customer-facing technology systems do not function as designed or we are unable to effectively blend our digital, online and in-store platforms, we may experience a loss of customer confidence, lost sales, or data security breaches, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

We may incur material product liability claims, or experience product recalls, which could increase our costs and adversely affect our sales and margin, reputation, revenues and operating income.

 

As a retailer, distributor and manufacturer of products for human consumption, we are subject to product liability claims if the use of our products is alleged to result in injury. The products that we sell consist of minerals, herbs, supplements and other ingredients that are classified as foods or dietary supplements. The products that we sell could contain contaminated substances, and some of the products we sell contain ingredients that do not have long histories of human consumption. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of these ingredients could occur.

 

In addition, third-party manufacturers produce many of the products we sell. We rely on these manufacturers to ensure the integrity of their ingredients and formulations. As a distributor of products manufactured by third parties, we may also be liable for various product liability claims for products we do not manufacture. Our ultimate liability for these products that are manufactured by third parties depends on a number of factors, including our contractual relationship with the vendor, the creditworthiness of the vendor and any insurance that we have. Therefore, we may be unable to adequately protect ourselves against claims with respect to products manufactured by a third-party.

 

We may be subject to product liability claims, including, among others, that our products include inadequate instructions for use or inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects and interactions with other substances. Product liability claims could significantly damage our reputation and consumer confidence in our products, regardless of the merits or outcomes of such claims. Our litigation expenses could increase as well, which also could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations even if a product liability claim is unsuccessful or is not fully pursued.

 

We may be subject to product recalls, withdrawals or seizures if any of the products we sell are believed to be adulterated, cause injury or illness or if we are alleged to have violated governmental regulations in the manufacturing, labeling, promotion, sale or distribution of such products. A significant recall, withdrawal or seizure of any of the products may require significant management attention, would likely result in substantial and unexpected costs and may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Furthermore, a recall, withdrawal or seizure of any of the products that we sell may adversely affect consumer confidence in our brands and thus decrease consumer demand for such products.

 

If we fail to develop and protect our brand names and reputation, we may not attract and retain new customers which could adversely affect our revenues and financial performance.

 

We will invest significant resources to promote our brand names to obtain favorable public recognition for us and our products. If we do not achieve the reputation we envision, we may not be able to attract and retain a significant customer base, which could in turn adversely affect our revenues, profitability and the market price of our common stock.

 

Our ability to adequately protect our trade names, trademarks and patents could have an impact on our brand images and ability to penetrate new markets.

 

We believe that our trade names and trademarks and patents are important assets and an essential element of our strategy. We have applied for the registration of many of our trade names, trademarks and patents in China. Some of these applications have been granted and some of these registrations are currently pending approval from the corresponding departments. There can be no assurance that we will obtain such registrations or that the registrations we obtain will prevent the imitation of our products or infringement of our intellectual property rights by others. In particular, the laws of the PRC may not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. Claims that others are infringing our intellectual property would be costly and would divert the attention of management and key personnel. Our failure to successfully protect our trademarks could diminish the value and effectiveness of our past and future marketing efforts and could cause customer confusion. This could in turn adversely affect our revenues, profitability and the market price of our common stock.

 

16
 

 

Unfavorable publicity about us or consumer perception of our products, the ingredients they contain and any similar products distributed by other companies could cause fluctuations in our operating results and could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, the demand for our products and our ability to generate revenues and the market price of our common stock.

 

We are highly dependent upon consumer perception of the safety and quality of our products and the ingredients they contain, as well as that of similar products distributed by other companies. Consumer perception of products and the ingredients they contain can be significantly influenced by scientific research, national media attention and other publicity, including that generated via social media. A research report or publicity related to our products and the ingredients they contain that is perceived by our consumers as less favorable or that questions earlier favorable research or publicity could have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate revenues. Adverse publicity in the form of published scientific research or otherwise, whether or not accurate, that associates consumption of our products or the ingredients they contain or similar products distributed by other companies with illness or other adverse effects, that questions the benefits of our or similar products, or that claims that such products are ineffective could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, the demand for our products, our ability to generate revenues and the market price of our common stock.

 

We depend on the services of key executives and other skilled professionals and our ability to attract, train and retain highly qualified associates. Any failure to attract or retain such individuals could affect our business strategy and adversely impact our performance and results of operations.

 

Our senior executives are instrumental in setting our strategic direction, operating our business, identifying, recruiting and training personnel, identifying opportunities, designing new products and arranging necessary financing. In addition, other key employees below the executive level, with deep knowledge of our business, are critical to the execution and success of our strategy. We must attract, train and retain a growing number of qualified individuals.

 

Losing the services of any of these groups of individuals could adversely affect our business and we may be unable to identify candidates of sufficient experience and capabilities in a timely fashion or at all, which could negatively impact our business and operations. Further, our ability to control labor and benefit costs is subject to numerous external factors, including regulatory changes, prevailing wage rates, and healthcare and other insurance costs. We compete with other retail and non-retail businesses for these store and field associates and invest significant resources in training and motivating them. There is no assurance that we will be able to attract or retain qualified store and field associates in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Compliance with new and existing laws and governmental regulations could increase our costs significantly and adversely affect our results of operations.

 

The processing, formulation, safety, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, advertising and distribution of our products are subject to numerous Chinese laws and regulations as well as laws and regulations imposed by provincial and local governments and agencies. Government regulations may prevent or delay the introduction, or require the reformulation, of our products, which could result in lost revenues and increased costs to us. Manufacturers and distributors of health and wellness products and dietary supplements and dietary ingredients are prohibited from marketing products that are adulterated or misbranded, and the governing agencies may take enforcement action against any adulterated or misbranded health and wellness product or dietary supplement on the market. If we violate applicable regulatory requirements, we may be subject to enforcement actions against us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. The government may not accept the evidence of safety for any new product or ingredient we may wish to market, may determine that a particular product or ingredient presents an unacceptable health risk based on reported serious adverse events or other information, and may determine that a particular claim or statement of efficacy or nutritional value that we use to support the marketing of a product is not substantiated, or is an unauthorized version of a “health claim.” Any of these actions could prevent us from marketing particular products or making certain claims or statements with respect to those products. We could also be required to remove a particular product from the market. Any future recall or removal would result in costs to us, including lost revenues from any products that we are required to remove from the market, any of which could be material. Any product recalls or removals could also lead to an increased risk of litigation and liability, substantial costs, and reduced growth prospects.

 

17
 

 

Additional or more stringent laws and regulations of health and wellness products have been considered from time to time. These developments could require reformulation of some products to meet new standards, recalls or discontinuance of some products not able to be reformulated, additional record-keeping requirements, increased documentation of the properties of some products, additional or different labeling, additional scientific substantiation, or other new requirements. Any of these developments could increase our costs significantly. In addition, regulators’ evolving interpretation of existing laws could have similar effects.

 

A significant disruption to our timely receipt of raw materials and inventory could adversely impact sales and operations or increase our transportation costs, which would decrease our profits.

 

Unexpected delays in the deliveries of raw materials from our vendors or inventories or increases in transportation costs (including through increased fuel costs) could significantly decrease our ability to make sales and earn profits. We must maintain sufficient levels of raw materials and inventories to operate our business successfully. However, we also must guard against accumulating excess inventory. If we fail to anticipate accurately either the market for the merchandise we offer or our customers’ purchasing habits, we may be forced to rely on markdowns or promotional sales to dispose of excess or slow moving inventory, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

In addition, sales of adulterated products received from third parties could result in a product liability judgment or a widespread product recall that may negatively impact our sales and profitability for a period of time depending on product availability, competition reaction and consumer attitudes. Even if the product liability claim is unsuccessful or is not fully pursued, the negative publicity surrounding any assertions could adversely impact our reputation with existing and potential customers and our brand image.

 

Natural disasters (whether or not caused by climate change), unusually adverse weather conditions, pandemic outbreaks and terrorist acts in China and the response of the Chinese governments to such occurrences, could impair our ability to purchase, receive or replenish inventory or raw materials or cause customer traffic to decline, all of which could result in lost sales and otherwise adversely affect our financial performance.

 

The occurrence of one or more natural disasters, such as hurricanes, fires, floods and earthquakes (whether or not caused by climate change), unusually adverse weather conditions, pandemic outbreaks (including the recent outbreak of the coronavirus, or COVID-19) or terrorist acts in China and the response of the Chinese government to such occurrences, could adversely affect our operations and financial performance. To the extent these events result in the closure of one or more of our pharmacies, manufacturing facility or our corporate headquarters, or impact one or more of our key suppliers, our operations and financial performance could be materially adversely affected through lost sales. Such events could also cause a disruption in travel making it difficult for consumers to order our products, such as has happened as a result of recent lock-downs in Chengdu. In addition, these events could result in increases in fuel (or other energy) prices or a fuel shortage, the temporary lack of an adequate work force in a market, the temporary or long-term disruption in the supply of products from some suppliers, the temporary disruption in the transport of goods, the temporary reduction in the availability of products in our stores, expiration of inventory and disruption to our information systems.

 

18
 

 

We may be impacted by our ability to attract, develop and retain qualified associates and manage labor-related costs.

 

We believe one of our competitive advantages is providing a positive, engaging and satisfying experience for each customer, which requires us to have highly trained and engaged associates. Our success depends in part upon our ability to attract, develop and retain a sufficient number of qualified associates to enable us to grow our customer base. The turnover rate in the health and wellness industry is generally high, and qualified individuals of the requisite caliber and number needed may be in short supply. Competition for such qualified individuals or changes in labor laws could require us to incur higher labor costs. Our inability to recruit a sufficient number of qualified individuals may delay the expansion of our customer base and our growth. Significant increases in associate turnover rates or significant increases in labor-related costs could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

Large and similar sized competitors could steal our market share by offering lower prices.

 

We endeavor to provide high quality service to our clients at the best possible price, however, large and similar sized competitors might steal some of our market share by offering lower prices, causing us to lose some of our clients which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

Our insurance may not be sufficient.

 

We carry insurance that we consider adequate in regard to the nature of the covered risks and the costs of coverage. We are not fully insured against all possible risks, nor are all such risks insurable.

 

Our business depends on the continued contributions made by Mr. Quanzhong Lin, our key executive officer. The loss of his services may result in a severe impediment to our business.

 

Our success is dependent upon the continued contributions made by our CEO and President, Mr. Quanzhong Lin. The Company has no “Key Man” insurance to cover the resulting losses in the event that any of our officer or directors should die or resign.

 

If Mr. Lin cannot serve the Company or is no longer willing to do so, the Company may not be able to find alternatives in a timely manner or at all. This would likely result in a severe damage to our business operations and would have an adverse material impact on our financial position and operational results. To continue as a viable operation, the Company may have to recruit and train replacement personnel at a higher cost.

 

Our key executive does not devote his full business time to our operations.

 

Our President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Quanzhong Lin, is involved in a number of businesses and does not devote all of his working time to our business. Our positive reputation in Chengdu is derived from the standing of Mr. Lin in the Chengdu business community. If Mr. Lin does not devote sufficient time to our business, our operations could suffer which would have an adverse material impact on our financial position and operational results.

 

Some of the other businesses engaged in by Mr. Lin could be deemed competitive with aspects of our business. Should such other businesses prove more successful than ours, Mr. Lin could choose to focus his attention on such businesses which could cause him to fail to devote sufficient attention to our business and our operations could suffer and our financial conditions and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected

 

Our principal shareholder is not familiar with American business practices.

 

Mr. Quanzhong Lin, our founder and principal shareholder, is a citizen of the PRC and an active entrepreneur in Chengdu. Mr. Lin is not familiar with American business practices and is heavily influenced by the business culture in the PRC. There is a certain level of respect and prestige associated with being the Chinese principal of a company which is publicly traded in the U.S. Mr. Lin’s motivation for causing the business of AiXinZhongdong to become a part of a U.S. publicly-traded company may differ from those of American entrepreneurs and his values may cause him to operate the business differently than would an American entrepreneur which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows

 

19
 

 

We may be adversely impacted by certain compliance or legal matters.

 

We, along with third parties with which we do business, are subject to complex compliance and litigation risks. The cost of defending against claims that might be brought against us or the ultimate resolution of such claims, whether by settlement or adverse court decision, may harm our business. Further, potential claimants may be encouraged to bring lawsuits based on a settlement from us or adverse court decisions against us. We cannot currently assess the likely outcome of such suits, but if the outcome were negative, it could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

In addition, we may be impacted by litigation trends, including class action lawsuits involving consumers and shareholders, that could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, the market price of our common stock, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

Failure to make adequate contributions to various employee benefits plans as required by PRC regulations may subject us to penalties.

 

Companies operating in China are required to participate in various government sponsored employee benefit plans, including certain social insurance, housing funds and other welfare-oriented payment obligations, and contribute to the plans in amounts equal to certain percentage of salaries, including bonuses and allowances, of employees up to a maximum amount specified by the local government from time to time at locations where they operate their businesses. The requirement of employee benefit plans has not been implemented consistently by the local governments in China given the different levels of economic development in different locations. Employers that fail to make adequate social insurance and housing provident fund contributions may be subject to late payment fees, fines and sanctions. If the relevant PRC authorities determine that we need to make supplemental contributions or that we are subject to late payment fees, fines or other legal sanctions, such as order of timely rectification, in relation to our failure to make social insurance and housing fund contributions in full for our employees, our business and financial condition may be adversely affected.

 

Our common stock may be delisted under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditors. The delisting of our common stock or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment.

 

The HFCAA was enacted on December 18, 2020. The HFCAA states if the SEC determines that a company has filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit the securities of such company from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over the counter trading market in the U.S. On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act which, if enacted, would amend the HFCAA and require the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchange if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three.

 

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 September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted a final rule implementing the HFCAA, which provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining whether the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction. On December 2, 2021, the SEC issued amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCAA. The rules apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in foreign jurisdictions. 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. On August 26, 2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC, and the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol, or the Protocol, governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Protocol, the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the PCAOB is not able to inspect and investigate completely our auditor’s work papers in China, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection which could result in limitation or restriction to our access to the U.S. capital markets and trading of our securities may be prohibited under the HFCAA and the Nasdaq may determine to delist our securities if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or investigate completely our auditor under the HFCAA.

 

Our auditor is not headquartered in China or Hong Kong and was not identified in this report as a firm subject to the PCAOB’s determination.

 

20
 

 

The SEC may propose additional rules or guidance that could impact us if our auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspection. For example, on August 6, 2020, the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets, or the PWG, issued the Report on Protecting United States Investors from Significant Risks from Chinese Companies to the then President of the United States. This report recommended the SEC implement five recommendations to address companies from jurisdictions that do not provide the PCAOB with sufficient access to fulfil its statutory mandate. Some of the concepts of these recommendations were implemented with the enactment of the HFCAA. However, some of the recommendations were more stringent than the HFCAA. For example, if a company’s auditor was not subject to PCAOB inspection, the report recommended that the transition period before a company would be delisted would end on January 1, 2022.

 

The SEC has announced that the SEC staff is preparing a consolidated proposal for the rules regarding the implementation of the HFCAA and to address the recommendations in the PWG report. The implications of possible additional regulation in addition to the requirements of the HFCAA and what was recently adopted on December 2, 2021 are uncertain. While we understand that there has been dialogue among the CSRC, the SEC and the PCAOB regarding the inspection of PCAOB-registered accounting firms in China, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with requirements imposed by U.S. regulators. Such uncertainty could cause the market price of our common stock to be materially and adversely affected, and our securities could be delisted and prohibited from being traded on the national securities exchange earlier than would be required by the HFCAA. If our securities are unable to be listed on another securities exchange by then, such a delisting would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our common stock 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 common stock.

 

Further, new laws and regulations or changes in laws and regulations in both the United States and China could affect our ability to list our common stock on Nasdaq, which could materially impair the market for and market price of our common stock.

A recent joint statement by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or the “PCAOB,” proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the newly enacted “Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act” and the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to our offering.

 

On April 21, 2020, the SEC and the PCAOB released a joint statement highlighting the risks associated with investing in companies based in or having substantial operations in emerging markets including China. The joint statement emphasized the risks associated with lack of access for the PCAOB to inspect auditors and audit work papers in China and higher risks of fraud in emerging markets.

 

On May 18, 2020, Nasdaq filed three proposals with the SEC to (i) apply a minimum offering size requirement for companies primarily operating in a “Restrictive Market,” (ii) adopt a new requirement relating to the qualification of management or the board of directors for Restrictive Market companies, and (iii) apply additional and more stringent criteria to an applicant or listed company based on the qualifications of the company’s auditor. We are very likely to be deemed as a company primarily operating in a Restrictive Market under such proposed rules of Nasdaq. Therefore, Nasdaq might apply the additional and more stringent criteria for our initial and continued listing, which might cause delay or even denial of our listing application.

 

On December 18, 2020, the HFCAA was signed and became law. This legislation requires certain issuers of securities to establish that they are not owned or controlled by a foreign government. Specifically, an issuer must make this certification if the PCAOB is unable to audit specified reports because the issuer has retained a foreign public accounting firm not subject to inspection by the PCAOB. Furthermore, if the PCAOB is unable to inspect the issuer’s public accounting firm for three consecutive years, the issuer’s securities are banned from trade on a national exchange or through other methods. On December 29, 2022, the AHFCAA was enacted, which amended the HFCAA by decreasing the number of non-inspection years from three years to two, thus reducing the time period before our ordinary shares may be prohibited from trading or delisted if the PCAOB were to determine that it could not inspect our auditor.

 

On March 24, 2021, the SEC announced that it had adopted interim final amendments to implement congressionally mandated submission and disclosure requirements of the HFCAA. The interim final amendments will apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report on Forms 10-K, 20-F, 40-F or N-CSR with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB has determined it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction. The SEC will implement a process for identifying such a registrant and any such identified registrant will be required to submit documentation to the SEC establishing that it is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in that foreign jurisdiction, and will also require disclosure in the registrant’s annual report regarding the audit arrangements of, and governmental influence on, such a registrant.

 

On September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted rules to create a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCAA, whether it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction.

 

On December 2, 2021, the SEC issued amendments to finalize the interim final rules previously adopted in March 2021 to implement the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCAA. The rules apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction.

 

22
 

 

On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report which found that the PCAOB was then unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (1) mainland China of the People’s Republic of China, because of a position taken by one or more authorities in mainland China; and (2) Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region and dependency of the PRC, because of a position taken by one or more authorities in Hong Kong. The PCAOB has made such designations as mandated under the HFCAA. Pursuant to each annual determination by the PCAOB, the SEC will, on an annual basis, identify issuers that have used non-inspected audit firms and thus are at risk of such suspensions in the future.

 

On August 26, 2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC, and the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol, or the Protocol, governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Protocol, the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB will consider the need to issue a new determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the PCAOB is not able to inspect and investigate completely our auditor’s work papers in China, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection which could result in limitation or restriction to our access to the U.S. capital markets and trading of our securities may be prohibited under the HFCAA and the Nasdaq may determine to delist our securities if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or investigate completely our auditor under the HFCAA.

 

Our auditor, KCCW Accountancy Corp. (“KCCW CPA”), an independent public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB, and an auditor of publicly traded companies in the U.S., is subject to laws in the U.S. pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Our auditor is based in the United States and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis, with the last inspection in 2022. Our auditor is not headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong and was not identified as a firm subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. Nevertheless, should the PCAOB be unable to fully conduct inspection of our auditor’s work papers in China, it will make it difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures or equity control procedures. Investors may consequently lose confidence in our reported financial information and procedures or quality of the financial statements, which would adversely affect us and our securities. Moreover, if trading in our securities is prohibited under the HFCAA in the future because the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor at such future time, an exchange may determine to delist our securities.

 

There are uncertainties under the PRC Securities Law relating to the procedures and requisite timing for the U.S. securities regulatory agencies to conduct investigations and collect evidence within the territory of the PRC.

 

On December 28, 2019, the newly amended Securities Law of the PRC (the “PRC Securities Law”) was promulgated, which became effective on March 1, 2020. According to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law (“Article 177”), the securities regulatory authority of the State Council may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with securities regulatory authorities of another country or region for the implementation of cross-border supervision and administration. Article 177 further provides that overseas securities regulatory authorities shall not engage in activities pertaining to investigations or evidence collection directly conducted within the territories of the PRC, and that no Chinese entities or individuals shall provide documents and information in connection with securities business activities to any organizations and/or persons aboard without the prior consent of the securities regulatory authority of the State Council and the competent departments of the State Council. As of the date of this prospectus, we are not aware of any implementing rules or regulations which have been published regarding application of Article 177.

 

As advised by our PRC counsel, Sichuan Junhe, Article 177 is only applicable where the activities of overseas authorities constitute a direct investigation or evidence collection by such authorities within the territory of the PRC. Our principal business operation is conducted in the PRC. In the event that the U.S. securities regulatory agencies carry out an investigation on us such as an enforcement action by the Department of Justice, the SEC or other authorities, such agencies’ activities will constitute conducting an investigation or collecting evidence directly within the territory of the PRC and accordingly fall within the scope of Article 177. In that case, the U.S. securities regulatory agencies may have to consider establishing cross-border cooperation with the securities regulatory authority of the PRC by way of judicial assistance, diplomatic channels or establishing a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authority of the PRC. However, there is no assurance that the U.S. securities regulatory agencies will succeed in establishing such cross-border cooperation in this particular case and/or establish such cooperation in a timely manner.

 

Furthermore, as the date of this prospectus, there have not been implementing rules or regulations regarding the application of Article 177, it remains unclear as to how it will be interpreted, implemented or applied by the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission or other relevant government authorities. As such, there are uncertainties as to the procedures and requisite timing for the U.S. securities regulatory agencies to conduct investigations and collect evidence within the territory of the PRC. If the U.S. securities regulatory agencies are unable to conduct such investigations, there exists a risk that they may determine to suspend or de-register our registration with the SEC and may also delist our securities from Nasdaq or other applicable trading market within the US.

We are exposed to liabilities relating to environmental protection and safety laws and regulations.

 

Our operations are subject to comprehensive and frequently changing laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and health and safety. The discharge of waste and pollutants from our manufacturing operations into the environment may give rise to liabilities that may require us to incur costs to remedy such discharge. If we violate such laws or regulations, we may be required to implement corrective actions and could be subject to civil or criminal fines or penalties or other sanctions.

 

However, we cannot assure you that any environmental laws adopted in the future will not materially increase our operating costs and other expenses. We cannot assure you that we will not have to make significant capital or operating expenditures in the future in order to comply with existing or new laws and regulations or that we will comply with applicable environmental laws at all times. Such violations or liability could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may require additional financing and our operations could be curtailed if we are unable to obtain required additional financing when needed.

 

We may need to obtain additional debt or equity financing to fund the immediate development of Yunnan Runcangsheng and future capital expenditures. While we do not anticipate seeking additional financing in the immediate future, any additional equity may result in dilution to the holders of our outstanding shares of capital stock. Additional debt financing may include conditions that would restrict our freedom to operate our business, such as conditions that:

 

  limit our ability to pay dividends or require us to seek consent for the payment of dividends;
     
  increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
     
  require us to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes; and
     
  limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry.

 

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain any additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all.

 

General Risks Associated with Business Operations in China

 

Recent developments related to the global outbreak of the novel strain of the coronavirus known as “COVID-19”and the possibility of future outbreaks.

 

Our business could be materially and adversely affected by the outbreak of a widespread epidemic or pandemic or other public health crisis, including outbreaks arising from the novel strain of the coronavirus known as “COVID-19”, particularly when such health epidemic or pandemic has an adverse effect on China. The occurrence of such an outbreak or other adverse public health developments could affect us in various ways, including disrupting our operations, supply chains and distribution systems and increasing our expenses, including as a result of impacts associated with preventive and precautionary measures that we, governments and other businesses may take. Such events could also significantly impact our industry and cause us to curtail some of our personal marketing outreach programs and to close some or all of our stores, which would severely disrupt our operations and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

24
 

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization announced that infections caused by the coronavirus disease of 2019 (“COVID-19”) had become pandemic. Economies throughout the world have been severely disrupted by the effects of the pandemic and the quarantines, stay at home orders, business closures and the reluctance of individuals to leave their homes resulting from the outbreak of the Covid-19 Pandemic. China recently moved away from its reliance upon a “zero-tolerance” policy pursuant to which it had declared a number of total and partial lockdowns in cities throughout China, including Chengdu. These lockdowns and any accompanying travel restrictions have adversely impacted many industries in China. It has been reported that the number of COVID-19 cases in China has surged after the government abandoned its zero-tolerance policy. It is likely that this sudden increase in COVID cases will cause many individuals to voluntarily restrict their travel which could adversely impact many industries in China, including the Company.

 

In addition, certain illnesses may be transmitted through human or surface contact, and the risk of contracting such illnesses could cause employees and customers to avoid gathering in public places, as was the case in many places during February and March 2020 due to concerns about the coronavirus. This could not only adversely affect store traffic to our pharmacies, but also our ability to host large scale marketing events and seminars, adequately staff and operate our manufacturing facility and the willingness of customers to meet with members of our sales team. We could be adversely affected if the national or regional governments in China impose mandatory closures, seek voluntary closures, imposes restrictions on operations of stores, or if suppliers are unable to provide us with timely delivery. Even if such measures are not implemented and a communicable illness does not spread significantly, the perceived risk of infection or health risk may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The PRC government has significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of a PRC company’s business operations or to exert control over any offering of securities conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, and may intervene with or influence our operations, may limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, and may cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless, as the government deems appropriate to further regulatory, political and societal goals.

 

The PRC government may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our common stock. For example, the PRC government has recently published new policies that significantly affected certain industries such as the education and internet industries, and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will release regulations or policies regarding any industry that could adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of our company. Furthermore, the PRC government has also recently indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over securities offerings and other capital markets activities that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based companies. Any such action, once taken by the PRC government, could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or in extreme cases, become worthless.

 

Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using variable interest entity (“VIE”) structures, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding anti-monopoly enforcement efforts. As confirmed by our PRC counsel, Sichuan Junhe, we are not subject to cybersecurity review with the Cyberspace Administration of China, or CAC, given that: (i) we do not possess a large amount of personal information in our business operations; and (ii) data processed in our business does not have a bearing on national security and thus may not be classified as core or important data by the authorities. See also “Risk Factors - General Risks Associated with Business Operations in China - Our business may be subject to a variety of PRC laws and other obligations regarding cybersecurity and data protection.” In addition, as confirmed by our PRC counsel, Sichuan Junhe, we are not subject to merger control review by China’s anti-monopoly enforcement agency due to the level of our revenues and the fact that we currently do not expect to propose or implement any acquisition of control of, or decisive influence over, any company with revenues within China of more than RMB400 million. Currently, these statements and regulatory actions have had no impact on our daily business operations, the ability to accept foreign investments or list our securities on a U.S. or other foreign exchange. Since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operation, the ability to accept foreign investments and list our securities on an U.S. or other foreign exchange.

The CSRC has released draft rules for China-based companies seeking to conduct initial public offerings in foreign markets. The Chinese government may exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our common stock to investors and could cause the value of our common stock to significantly decline or become worthless.

 

On December 24, 2021, the CSRC released the Administrative Provisions of the State Council Regarding the Overseas Issuance and Listing of Securities by Domestic Enterprises (Draft for Comments) (the “Administrative Provisions”) and the Measures for the Overseas Issuance of Securities and Listing Record-Filings by Domestic Enterprises (Draft for Comments) (the “Measures”). The Administrative Provisions and Measures lay out the filing regulation arrangement for both direct and indirect overseas listing and clarify the determination criteria for indirect overseas listing in overseas markets. The Administrative Provisions and Measures, if enacted, may subject us to additional compliance requirement in the future. Any failure of us to fully comply with new regulatory requirements may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our common stock, cause significant disruption to our business operations, and severely damage our reputation, which would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and cause our common stock shares to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

 

The CSRC has released the Trial Measures requiring Chinese domestic companies to complete filings with the CSRC if they complete an overseas offering and listing of their securities.

 

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC released the Trial Measures, regulations for the filing-based administration of direct and indirect overseas securities offerings and listings by domestic companies incorporated in Mainland China. The regulations are effective March 31, 2023. The offering by us pursuant to this registration statement is deemed an indirect offering by the CSRC and we will need to fulfill filing obligations pursuant to the Trial Measures after we have completed this offering. If we were to fail to comply with the post-offering filing obligations imposed by the Trial Measures or make a misrepresentation, misleading statement or material omission in the materials we submit to the CSRC, the CSRC would have the right to order rectification, issue a warning and impose a fine on us of between RMB 1 million and RMB 10 million and issuing a warning to the parties responsible for such failure, misrepresentation or material omission and impose a fine on each of such individuals ranging from RMB 500,000 to RMB 5 million.

  

Any filings we make in accordance with the Trial Measures will provide the Chinese Government with additional information regarding our operations. Reviewing information we provide may cause the PRC government to exert oversight and control over our operations, securities offerings and other capital markets activities. Any such action could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or in extreme cases, become worthless.

 

The CSRC has released Provisions on Strengthening the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Related to the Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Enterprises which may limit the activities of or disclosures made by companies in the PRC which, directly or indirectly, list their securities overseas.

 

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC, together with other PRC government authorities, released the Confidentiality and Archives Provisions, which come into effect March 31, 2023. The Confidentiality and Archives Provisions require, among other items, that PRC domestic enterprises seeking to offer and list securities in overseas markets, establish an archival system which will maintain the confidentiality of information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Further, if a PRC domestic enterprise plans, directly or indirectly, to release documents or provide material that contain state secrets or government work secrets, or that will jeopardize national security or the public interest, it must strictly comply with all relevant governmental procedures and obtain approval of the appropriate regulatory before doing so. Although our PRC Counsel has advised us that we are subject to the Confidentiality and Archives Provisions, we believe that none of the documents or materials we intend to provide to parties outside of the PRC contains materials that would require us to make any filing or obtain any approval of a Chinese regulatory authority. Nevertheless, the determination of whether information contains state secrets, government work secrets or jeopardizes national security or the public interest is subjective and any failure or perceived failure by us or our subsidiaries to comply with the confidentiality and archive administration requirements under the Confidentiality and Archives Provisions could cause us to be referred for criminal investigation and held liable for such violations by the authorities in China. Further, PRC regulatory authorities could use these regulations to limit our disclosures or interfere with our operations. Any determination that we have violated the Confidentiality and Archives Provisions or use of these provisions to limit our disclosures could cause the value of our common stock to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

 

You may have difficulty in effecting service of legal process or bringing actions in China against us or our management named in the prospectus based on foreign laws.

 

We are a Colorado company conducting our operations in China through wholly owned subsidiaries with direct equity ownership and most of our assets are and will be located outside the United States. Almost all of our operations will be conducted in China. In addition, nearly all of our officers and directors, including Quanzhong Lin, Huiliang Jiao and Tianfeng Li are PRC nationals and residents of China and all of their assets are located outside the United States. In addition, Yao-Te Wang is a resident of Taiwan and resides in Taiwan. Christopher Lee, our remaining director, resides outside of the United States for a significant portion of time. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process upon us or our directors and officers inside China or to bring actions against us or our management in China.

 

Shareholder claims that are common in the United States, including securities law class actions and fraud claims, generally are difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in China. For example, in China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to obtaining information needed for shareholder investigations or litigation outside China or otherwise with respect to foreign entities. Although the local authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authorities of another country or region to implement cross-border supervision and administration, such regulatory cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the Unities States have not been efficient in the absence of mutual and practical cooperation mechanism. According to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within the territory of the PRC. Accordingly, without the consent of the competent PRC securities regulators and relevant authorities, no organization or individual may provide the documents and materials relating to securities business activities to overseas parties outside of the PRC.

 

You may have difficulty in enforcing foreign judgements in China against us or our management named in the prospectus.

 

China does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts with the United States and many other countries and regions. Even judgements from countries that have an enforcement treaty with China are often not enforceable in China. Therefore, recognition and enforcement in China of judgments of a court in any non-PRC jurisdiction in relation to any matter not subject to a binding arbitration provision may be difficult or impossible.

 

It may also be difficult for you to enforce U.S. courts judgments based on violations of the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors, since most of them are residents of the PRC and those who are not residents of the PRC reside outside of the United States for all or a significant portion of time. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of China would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts.

 

Foreign exchange fluctuations may affect our business.

 

We accept payment for our products in RMB. Therefore, foreign exchange fluctuations may influence our business in unpredictable ways.

 

The value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions and the foreign exchange policy adopted by the PRC government. For instance, in August 2015, the People’s Bank of China, or PBOC, changed the way it calculates the mid-point price of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar, requiring the market-makers who submit for reference rates to consider the previous day’s closing spot rate, foreign-exchange demand and supply as well as changes in major currency rates. In fiscal year 2019 and 2020, the value of the Renminbi depreciated by approximately 6.9% and 5.5% against the U.S. dollar, respectively. In fiscal year 2021 and 2022 the value of the Renminbi appreciated by approximately 7.4% and 3.2% against the U.S. dollar. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy, including any interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve, may impact the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar in the future. There remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt a more flexible currency policy, including from the U.S. government, which has threatened to label China as a “currency manipulator,” which could result in greater fluctuation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar.

 

26
 

 

A substantial percentage of our revenues and costs are denominated in Renminbi, and a significant portion of our assets are also denominated in Renminbi. We are a holding company and we rely on dividends, loans and other distributions on equity paid by our operating subsidiaries in China. Any significant fluctuations in the value of the Renminbi may materially and adversely affect our liquidity and cash flows. Appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount we would receive. Conversely, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the Renminbi amount we would receive.

 

Inflation could pose a risk to our business.

 

Inflation is an important factor that must be considered as we move forward. A change in the rate of inflation could influence the profits that we generate from our business. When the rate of inflation rises, the operational costs of running our company would increase, such as labor costs, raw materials and public utilities, affecting our ability to provide our services at competitive prices. An increase in the rate of inflation would force our clients to search for other service providers, causing us to lose business and revenue.

 

Changes in the policies, regulations, rules and the enforcement of laws of the PRC government may be quick with little advance notice and could have a significant impact upon the business we may be able to conduct in the PRC and the profitability of such business.

 

The PRC’s economy is in a transition from a planned economy to a market oriented economy subject to five-year and annual plans adopted by the central government that set national economic development goals. Policies of the PRC government can have significant effects on the economic conditions of the PRC. The PRC government has confirmed that economic development will follow the model of a market economy. Under this direction, we believe that the PRC will continue to strengthen its economic and trading relationships with foreign countries and business development in the PRC will follow market forces. While we believe that this trend will continue, we cannot assure you that this will be the case. Changes in policies, regulations, rules and the enforcement of laws by the PRC government, which changes may be quick with little advance notice, could adversely affect our interests by. Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than two decades, we cannot assure you that the government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or other circumstances affecting the PRC’s political, economic and social environment.

 

There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, rules and regulations.

 

Most of our operations are conducted in the PRC, and are governed by PRC laws, rules and regulations. Our PRC Subsidiaries are subject to laws, rules and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China. The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike the common law system, prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value.

 

In 1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws, rules and regulations governing economic matters in general. However, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system, and recently enacted laws, rules and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China or may be subject to significant degree of interpretation by PRC regulatory agencies and courts. In particular, because these laws, rules and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited number of published decisions and the non-precedential nature of these decisions, and because the laws, rules and regulations often give the relevant regulator significant discretion in how to enforce them, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws, rules and regulations involve uncertainties and can be inconsistent and unpredictable. Therefore, it is possible that our existing operations may be found not to be in full compliance with relevant laws and regulations. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules, some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all, and which may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until after the occurrence of the violation.

 

27
 

 

Any administrative and court proceedings in China may be protracted, resulting in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy than in more developed legal systems. These uncertainties may impede our ability to enforce the contracts we have entered into and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

PRC regulations regarding acquisitions impose significant regulatory approval and review requirements, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions.

 

Under the PRC Anti-Monopoly Law, companies undertaking acquisitions relating to businesses in China must notify the anti-monopoly enforcement agency in advance of any transaction where the parties’ revenues in the China market exceed certain thresholds and the buyer would obtain control of, or decisive influence over, the other party. In addition, on August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the MOFCOM, the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the State Administration of Taxation, the SAIC, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC, and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, jointly adopted Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, which came into effect on September 8, 2006 and was amended on June 22, 2009. Under the M&A Rules, the approval of MOFCOM must be obtained in circumstances where overseas companies established or controlled by PRC enterprises or residents acquire domestic companies affiliated with such PRC enterprises or residents. Applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations also require certain merger and acquisition transactions to be subject to security review.

 

While the approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission is not currently required for this offering, it may be required in the future in connection with this offering under the M&A Rules and, if required, we cannot predict whether we will be able to obtain such approval.

 

The application of the M&A Rules remains unclear. According to the results of the searches conducted by our PRC counsel, Sichuan Junhe, on the official website of the CSRC and its administrative license processing hall (https://neris.csrc.gov.cn/alappl/home/guideH), at present, only one administrative license related to overseas public offering and listing is enacted, that is, “examination and approval of overseas public offering shares and listing (including additional issuance) of joint-stock companies”. Such examination and approval license requirements are only applicable to issuers which are formed as PRC joint-stock companies in China under PRC law. None of our operating PRC Subsidiaries is formed as a PRC joint-stock company in China, and as such, we do not believe that we need CSRC approval. We do not believe that the current PRC regulations and rules including China Securities Law require explicitly and directly that the overseas listing of foreign issuers who indirectly hold the rights and interests of Chinese domestic enterprises be examined and approved by the CSRC. If CSRC approval is required, it is uncertain whether it would be possible for us to obtain the approval. Any failure to obtain or delay in obtaining CSRC approval for this offering would subject us to sanctions imposed by the CSRC and other PRC regulatory agencies.

While the application of the M&A Rules remains unclear, we believe, based on the advice of our PRC legal counsel, Sichuan Junhe, based on its understanding of the current PRC laws, regulations and rules, that the CSRC’s approval is not required for this offering. We neither received nor were denied permission from CSRC or other PRC government agencies to list our securities on the NASDAQ and issue our securities to foreign investors.

 

There remains some uncertainty as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented in the context of an overseas offering. We cannot assure you that relevant PRC government agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as we do. If it is determined that CSRC approval is required for this offering, we may face sanctions by the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies for failure to obtain or delay in obtaining CSRC approval for this offering. These sanctions may include fines and penalties on our operations in China, limitations on our operating privileges in China, delays in or restrictions on the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into the PRC, restrictions on or prohibition of the payments or remittance of dividends by our subsidiaries in China, or other actions that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our securities. The CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us or making it advisable for us, to halt this offering before the settlement and delivery of the securities that we are offering. Consequently, if you engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and prior to the settlement and delivery of the securities we are offering, you would be doing so at the risk that the settlement and delivery may not occur. In addition, if the CSRC or other regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals for this offering, we may be unable to obtain a waiver of such approval requirements.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanctions or regulatory objection to this offering from the CSRC or any other PRC governmental authorities, and our PRC Subsidiaries have obtained all requisite permissions and approvals from PRC governmental authorities to operate our business as currently conducted under relevant PRC laws and regulations.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, none of our PRC Subsidiaries has been denied or punished by relevant governmental authorities due to its business qualifications

 

Our business may be subject to a variety of PRC laws and other obligations regarding cybersecurity and data protection.

 

Our business may be subject to PRC laws relating to the collection, use, sharing, retention, security, and transfer of confidential and private information, such as personal information and other data. These laws continue to develop, and the PRC government may adopt other rules and regulations in the future. Non-compliance could result in penalties or other significant legal liabilities.

 

Pursuant to the PRC Cybersecurity Law, which was promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on November 7, 2016 and took effect on June 1, 2017, personal information and important data collected and generated by a critical information infrastructure operator in the course of its operations in China must be stored in China, and if a critical information infrastructure operator purchases internet products and services that affects or may affect national security, it should be subject to cybersecurity review by the Cyberspace Administration of China (“CAC”). Due to the lack of further interpretations, the exact scope of “critical information infrastructure operator” remains unclear.

 

29
 

 

On December 28, 2021, twelve Chinese government agencies jointly promulgated the Measures for Cybersecurity Review, which became effective on February 15, 2022, set forth the cybersecurity review mechanism for critical information infrastructure operators, and provided that critical information infrastructure operators who intend to purchase internet products and services that affect or may affect national security shall be subject to a cybersecurity review. On June 10, 2021, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress promulgated the PRC Data Security Law, which took effect in September 2021. The Data Security Law provides for a security review procedure for data activities that may affect national security. Moreover, the State Internet Information Office issued the Measures of Cybersecurity Review (Revised Draft for Comments, not yet effective) on July 10, 2021, which requires operators with personal information of more than 1 million users who want to list abroad to file a cybersecurity review with the CAC. Furthermore, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the Opinions on Severe and Lawful Crackdown on Illegal Securities Activities, which was available to the public on July 6, 2021. These opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities and the supervision of overseas listings by China-based companies. These opinions proposed to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems, to deal with the risks and incidents facing China-based overseas-listed companies and the demand for cybersecurity and data privacy protection. As these laws, opinions and the draft measures were recently issued, official guidance and interpretation of these remain unclear in several respects at this time, and the PRC government authorities have wide discretion in the interpretation and enforcement of these laws, opinions and draft measures. Therefore, it is uncertain whether the future regulatory changes would impose additional restrictions on our business

 

The Data Security Law also sets forth the data security protection obligations for entities and individuals handling personal data, including that no entity or individual may acquire such data by stealing or other illegal means, and the collection and use of such data should not exceed the necessary limits The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, PRC Cybersecurity Law and any other cybersecurity and related laws may limit the utility of our internet sales channel of distribution and could have an adverse impact on our business. Further, if the enacted version of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review mandates clearance of cybersecurity review and other specific actions to be completed by companies like us, we face uncertainties as to whether such clearance can be timely obtained, or at all.

 

As confirmed by our PRC counsel, we are not subject to the cybersecurity review by the CAC for this offering, given that: (i) we do not possess a large amount of personal information in our business operations; and (ii) data processed in our business does not have a bearing on national security and thus may not be classified as core or important data by the authorities. However, there remains uncertainty as to how the Draft Measures will be interpreted or implemented and whether the PRC regulatory agencies, including the CAC, may adopt new laws, regulations, rules, or detailed implementation and interpretation related to the Draft Measures. If any such new laws, regulations, rules, or implementation and interpretation comes into effect, we will take all reasonable measures and actions to comply and to minimize the adverse effect of such laws on us.

 

We cannot assure you that PRC regulatory agencies, including the CAC, would take the same view as we do, and there is no assurance that we can fully or timely comply with such laws. In the event that we are subject to any mandatory cybersecurity review and other specific actions required by the CAC, we face uncertainty as to whether any clearance or other required actions can be timely completed, or at all. Given such uncertainty, we may be further required to shut down our website, or face other penalties, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

PRC regulations relating to investments in offshore companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC-resident beneficial owners or our PRC Subsidiaries to liability or penalties, limit our ability to inject capital into our PRC Subsidiaries or limit our PRC Subsidiaries’ ability to increase their registered capital or distribute profits.

 

SAFE promulgated the Circular on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Control on Domestic Residents’ Offshore Investment and Financing and Roundtrip Investment through Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 37, on July 4, 2014, which replaced the former circular commonly known as “SAFE Circular 75.” SAFE Circular 37 requires PRC residents to register with local branches of SAFE in connection with their direct establishment or indirect control of an offshore entity, for the purpose of overseas investment and financing, with such PRC residents’ legally owned assets or equity interests in domestic enterprises or offshore assets or interests, referred to in SAFE Circular 37 as a “special purpose vehicle.” SAFE Circular 37 further requires amendment to the registration in the event of any significant changes with respect to the special purpose vehicle, such as changes in capital contributed by PRC individuals, share transfers or exchanges, mergers, divisions or other material events. In the event that a PRC shareholder holding interests in a special purpose vehicle fails to fulfill the required SAFE registration, the PRC Subsidiaries of that special purpose vehicle may be prohibited from making profit distributions to the offshore parent and from carrying out subsequent cross-border foreign exchange activities, and the special purpose vehicle may be restricted in its ability to contribute additional capital into its PRC Subsidiaries. Moreover, failure to comply with the various SAFE registration requirements could result in liability under PRC law for evasion of foreign exchange controls.

 

As we have little control over the registration procedures, we cannot assure you of the outcome of such registration, and we cannot assure you that any of our shareholders who are PRC residents will submit the required registration or amend or update their registration as required under Circular 37 and the Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Further Simplifying and Improving the Foreign Exchange Administration Policies for Direct Investment [Hui Fa (2015) No.13] issued by SAFE with effect from June 1, 2015, or SAFE Notice 13, in a timely manner or at all. In addition, we may not be aware of the identities of all of our beneficial owners who are PRC residents. We do not have control over our beneficial owners and cannot assure you that all of our PRC-resident beneficial owners will comply with SAFE Circular 37 and subsequent implementation rules. The failure of our current and future beneficial owners who are PRC residents to register or amend their SAFE registrations in a timely manner pursuant to SAFE Circular 37 and subsequent implementation rules, may subject the beneficial owners or our PRC Subsidiaries to fines and legal sanctions. On February 13, 2015, SAFE promulgated a Notice on Further Simplifying and Improving Foreign Exchange Administration Policy on Direct Investment, or SAFE Notice 13, which became effective on June 1, 2015. Pursuant to SAFE Notice 13, entities and individuals are required to apply for foreign exchange registration of foreign direct investment and overseas direct investment, including those required under the SAFE Circular 37, with designated domestic banks, instead of SAFE. The designated domestic banks will directly review the applications and conduct the registration.

 

Furthermore, since it is unclear how the new SAFE regulations, and any future regulation concerning offshore or cross-border transactions, will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant PRC government authorities, we cannot predict how these regulations will affect our business operations or future strategy. Failure to register or comply with relevant requirements may also limit our ability to contribute additional capital to our PRC Subsidiaries and limit our PRC Subsidiaries’ ability to distribute dividends to our company. These risks may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, and we may therefore be subject to PRC income tax on our global income.

 

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementing rules, both of which came into effect on January 1, 2008, enterprises established under the laws of jurisdictions outside of China with “de facto management bodies” located in China may be considered PRC tax resident enterprises for tax purposes and may be subject to the PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on their global income. “De facto management body” refers to a managing body that exercises substantive and overall management and control over the production and business, personnel, accounting books and assets of an enterprise. The State Administration of Taxation issued the Notice Regarding the Determination of Chinese-Controlled Offshore-Incorporated Enterprises as PRC Tax Resident Enterprises on the basis of de facto management bodies, or Circular 82, on April 22, 2009. Circular 82 provides certain specific criteria for determining whether the “de facto management body” of a Chinese-controlled offshore-incorporated enterprise is located in China. Although Circular 82 only applies to offshore enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises, not those controlled by foreign enterprises or individuals, the determining criteria set forth in Circular 82 may reflect the State Administration of Taxation’s general position on how the “de facto management body” test should be applied in determining the tax resident status of offshore enterprises, regardless of whether they are controlled by PRC enterprises. If we, AiXin Colorado and AiXin BVI, were to be considered a PRC resident enterprise, we would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on our global income. In such case, our profitability and cash flow may be materially reduced as a result of our global income being taxed under the Enterprise Income Tax Law. We believe that none of our entities outside of China is a PRC resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes. However, the tax resident status of an enterprise is subject to determination by the PRC tax authorities and uncertainties remain with respect to the interpretation of the term “de facto management body.”

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize our PRC revenue effectively.

 

We (AiXin Colorado) are a Colorado holding company with no material operations of our own. We conduct substantially all of our operations through the operating companies established in the PRC. We are a holding company and do not directly own any substantive business operations in China. Substantially all of our revenue is denominated in Renminbi. The Renminbi is currently convertible under the “current account,” which includes dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but requires approval from or registration with appropriate government authorities or designated banks under the “capital account,” which includes foreign direct investment and loans, including loans we may secure from our onshore subsidiaries. Currently, one of our PRC Subsidiaries, may purchase foreign currency for settlement of “current account transactions,” including payment of dividends to us, without the approval of SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, the relevant PRC governmental authorities or the local bank may limit or eliminate our ability to purchase foreign currencies in the future for current account transactions.

 

Since 2016, PRC governmental authorities have imposed more stringent restrictions on outbound capital flows, including heightened scrutiny over “irrational” overseas investments for certain industries, as well as over four kinds of “abnormal” offshore investments, which are:

 

● investments through enterprises established for only a few months without substantive operation;

 

● investments with amounts far exceeding the registered capital of the onshore parent and not supported by its business performance shown on financial statements;

 

● investments in targets which are unrelated to an onshore parent’s main business; and

 

● investments with abnormal sources of Renminbi funding suspected to be involved in illegal transfer of assets or illegal operation of underground banking.

 

On January 26, 2017, SAFE promulgated the Circular on Further Improving Reform of Foreign Exchange Administration and Optimizing Genuineness and Compliance Verification, which tightened the authenticity and compliance verification of cross-border transactions and cross-border capital flow, including requiring banks to verify board resolutions, tax filing forms and audited financial statements before wiring foreign invested enterprises’ foreign exchange dividend distribution of over US$50,000. In addition, the Outbound Investment Sensitive Industry Catalogue (2018) lists certain sensitive industries that are subject to NDRC pre-approval requirements prior to remitting investment funds offshore, which subjects us to increased approval requirements and restrictions should we have overseas investments. Since a significant amount of our PRC revenue is denominated in Renminbi, any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside of the PRC, make investments, service any debt we may incur outside of China or pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders.

 

Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates will impact our reported results.

 

The functional currency utilized by our PRC Subsidiaries is the RMB. Our financial results are reported in U.S. Dollars. Therefore, foreign exchange fluctuations will impact the reporting of our financial results and significant fluctuations in the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. Dollar may materially and adversely affect our financial results as reported in our filings with the SEC. Such variations in our perceived operating results may increase the volatility in the market for our common stock.

 

The disclosures in our reports and other filings with the SEC and our other public pronouncements are not subject to the scrutiny of any regulatory bodies in the PRC.

 

We are subject to the regulations of the SEC and our reports and other filings with the SEC are subject to SEC review in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Our SEC reports and other disclosure and public pronouncements are not subject to the review or scrutiny of any PRC regulatory authority. For example, the disclosure in our SEC reports and other filings are not subject to the review by China Securities Regulatory Commission, a PRC regulator that is responsible for oversight of the capital markets in China. Accordingly, you should review our SEC reports, filings and our other public pronouncements with the understanding that no local regulator has done any review of us, our SEC reports, other filings or any of our other public pronouncements.

 

32
 

 

Introduction of new laws or changes to existing laws by the PRC government may adversely affect our business.

 

The PRC legal system is a codified legal system made up of written laws, regulations, circulars, administrative directives and internal guidelines. Unlike common law jurisdictions like the U.S., decided cases (which may be taken as reference) do not form part of the legal structure of the PRC and thus have no binding effect on subsequent cases with similar issues and fact patterns. Furthermore, in line with its transformation from a centrally-planned economy to a more free market-oriented economy, the PRC government is still in the process of developing a comprehensive set of laws and regulations. As the legal system in the PRC is still evolving, laws and regulations or the interpretation of the same may be subject to further changes. For example, the PRC government may impose more stringent environmental regulations which would affect our ability to comply with, or our costs to comply with, such regulations. Such changes, if implemented, may adversely affect our business operations and may reduce our profitability.

 

Risks Relating to Our Holding Company Structure

 

Substantial uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation and implementation of the newly enacted Foreign Investment Law and how it may impact the viability of our current corporate structure, corporate governance and business operations.

 

On March 15, 2019, the PRC National People’s Congress approved the Foreign Investment Law, which came into effect on January 1, 2020 and replaced existing laws regulating foreign investment in the PRC and become the legal foundation for foreign investment in the PRC. Meanwhile, the Implementation Regulation of the Foreign Investment Law and the Measures for Reporting of Information on Foreign Investment came into effect as of January 1, 2020, which clarified and elaborated the relevant provisions of the Foreign Investment Law.

 

The Foreign Investment Law sets out the basic regulatory framework for foreign investments and proposes to implement a system of pre-entry national treatment with a restricted list for foreign investments, pursuant to which (i) foreign entities and individuals are prohibited from investing in the areas that are not open to foreign investments, (ii) foreign investments in the restricted industries must satisfy certain requirements under the law, and (iii) foreign investments in business sectors outside of the restricted list will be treated equally with domestic investments. The Foreign Investment Law also sets forth necessary mechanisms to facilitate, protect and manage foreign investments and proposes to establish a foreign investment information reporting system, through which foreign investors or foreign-invested enterprises are required to submit initial report, report of changes, report of deregistration and annual report relating to their investments to the Ministry of Commerce, or MOFCOM, or its local branches.

 

Although our operating structure is legal and permissible under the current Chinese law and regulations, including the Foreign Investment Law, Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our operating structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations and/or could cause the value of our common stock to significantly decline or become worthless.

 

We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC Subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC Subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.

 

We are a Colorado holding company and we rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC Subsidiaries and loans between us and our PRC Subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we or any of our PRC Subsidiaries may have, including for the payment of dividends to our investors, the shareholders of AiXin Colorado. Any limitation on the ability of our PRC Subsidiaries to make payments to or transfer funds to us or our other PRC Subsidiaries could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business and the ability of our PRC Subsidiaries to conduct their respective businesses. If our PRC Subsidiaries incur debt, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us. Under PRC laws and regulations, our PRC Subsidiaries may pay dividends only out of their respective accumulated profits as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition each of our PRC Subsidiaries is required to set aside at least 10% of its accumulated after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a certain statutory reserve fund, until the aggregate amount of such fund reaches 50% of its registered capital. Such reserve funds cannot be distributed to us as dividends. At its discretion, each of our PRC subsidiaries may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to an enterprise expansion fund, or a staff welfare and bonus fund.

 

As of the date hereof, we have had no transactions that involved the transfer of cash or assets throughout our corporate structure. None of our PRC Operating Companies has distributed any cash or other assets to AiXin HK, including by way of dividends or interest payments and AiXin Colorado has not transferred any cash or other assets to any of our PRC Subsidiaries. As of the date hereof, no transfers, dividends or distributions have been made to our investors. To the extent our cash or other assets is in one of our Chinese Operating Companies or AiXin HK, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for use outside of mainland China or Hong Kong including for the payment of dividends to the shareholders of AiXin Life, due to interventions by the governments of PRC or Hong Kong, or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of the PRC Subsidiaries to use such cash or assets imposed by the government of mainland China or Hong Kong.

 

33
 

 

The PRC government may continue to strengthen its capital controls, and more restrictions and substantial vetting processes may be put forward by SAFE for cross-border transactions falling under both the current account and the capital account. Any limitation on the ability of our PRC Subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other kinds of payments to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends, or otherwise fund and conduct our business.

 

Except for such limitations on our Company’s ability to transfer cash and other assets among our entities currently or hereafter imposed by the governments of the PRC and Hong Kong, there are no limitations on our Company’s ability to transfer cash and other assets through our corporate structure. Our Company does not have any cash management policies with respect to the transfer of cash among our entities other than requirements for the approval of management for transfers in excess of specified amounts and none of our entities is currently party to any debenture, loan or other agreement which imposes restrictions or otherwise limits our Company’s ability to transfer our cash and other assets and we have not adopted any policies that dictate how funds are transferred other than as necessary to comply with applicable laws. See “Prospectus Summary - Transfers of Cash to and from our Subsidiaries.”

 

In addition, the Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules provide that a withholding tax rate of up to 10% will be applicable to dividends payable by Chinese companies to non-PRC-resident enterprises unless otherwise exempted or reduced according to treaties or arrangements between the PRC central government and governments of other countries or regions where the non-PRC-resident enterprises are incorporated.

 

PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of this offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

 

We are an offshore holding company conducting our operations in China through our PRC Subsidiaries. We may make loans or provide guarantees for the benefit of our PRC Subsidiaries subject to the approval of or registration with governmental authorities and limitations of the amount, or we may make additional capital contributions to our PRC Subsidiaries. Any loans to our PRC Subsidiaries, which are treated as foreign-invested enterprises under PRC law, are subject to foreign exchange loan registrations. In addition, a foreign-invested enterprise, or FIE, shall use its capital pursuant to the principle of authenticity and self-use within its business scope. The capital of an FIE shall not be used for the following purposes: (i) directly or indirectly for payments beyond the business scope of the enterprise or payments prohibited by relevant laws and regulations; (ii) directly or indirectly for investments in securities or investments other than in banks’ principal-secured products unless otherwise provided by relevant laws and regulations; (iii) the granting of loans to non-affiliated enterprises, except where it is expressly permitted in the business license; and (iv) paying the expenses related to the purchase of real estate that is not for self-use (except for foreign-invested real estate enterprises).

 

In light of the requirements imposed by PRC regulations on loans to and direct investments in PRC entities by offshore holding companies, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the necessary government registrations or obtain the necessary government approvals on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future loans by us to our PRC Subsidiaries or with respect to future capital contributions by us to our PRC Subsidiaries. If we fail to complete such registrations or obtain such approvals, our ability to use the proceeds from this offering and to capitalize or otherwise fund our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

 

Risks Related to this Offering and our Common Stock

 

Prior to this offering, we had a limited public market for our common stock and you may not be able to resell our shares at or above the price you paid or at all.

 

Prior to this offering, there was a limited public market for our common stock in the OTCQX. On many days during the year ended December 31, 2022, and during 2023, no shares were traded. We cannot assure you that an active public market for our common stock will develop or that the market price of our shares will not decline below the public offering price. The public offering price of our shares may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the trading market following the offering.

 

34
 

 

An active trading market for our common stock may not develop and the trading price for our common stock may fluctuate significantly.

 

We have applied to have our common stock approved for listing on the NASDAQ. Prior to the completion of this offering, there has not been an active public market for our common stock, and we cannot assure you that a liquid public market for our common stock will develop even if it is listed on NASDAQ. The public offering price for our common stock offered hereby was determined by negotiation between us and the underwriters based upon several factors, and we can provide no assurance that the trading price of our common stock after this offering will not decline below the public offering price. As a result, investors in our securities may experience a significant decrease in the value of their common stock.

 

Nasdaq may apply additional and more stringent criteria for our initial and continued listing because we plan to have a small public offering and insiders will hold a large portion of our listed securities.

 

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101 provides Nasdaq with broad discretionary authority over the initial and continued listing of securities in Nasdaq and Nasdaq may use such discretion to deny initial listing, apply additional or more stringent criteria for the initial or continued listing of particular securities, or suspend or delist particular securities based on any event, condition, or circumstance that exists or occurs that makes initial or continued listing of the securities on Nasdaq inadvisable or unwarranted in the opinion of Nasdaq, even though the securities meet all enumerated criteria for initial or continued listing on Nasdaq. In addition, Nasdaq has used its discretion to deny initial or continued listing or to apply additional and more stringent criteria in the instances, including but not limited to: (i) where the company engaged an auditor that has not been subject to an inspection by PCAOB, an auditor that PCAOB cannot inspect, or an auditor that has not demonstrated sufficient resources, geographic reach, or experience to adequately perform the company’s audit; (ii) where the company planned a small public offering, which would result in insiders holding a large portion of the company’s listed securities and Nasdaq was concerned that the offering size was insufficient to establish the company’s initial valuation, and there would not be sufficient liquidity to support a public market for the company; and (iii) where the company did not demonstrate sufficient nexus to the U.S. capital market, including having no U.S. shareholders, operations, or members of the board of directors or management. Nasdaq might apply the additional and more stringent criteria for our initial and continued listing, which might cause delay or even denial of our listing application.

 

The market price of securities of certain small cap companies, including companies whose operations are based in China, have been highly volatile and have raised the concerns of market regulators and if our common stock were to have such high volatility could cause NASDAQ to temporarily halt trading in or delist our securities.

 

The market prices of certain small cap companies, including companies whose operations are based in China, recently have been highly volatile. Such volatility in the market price of our common stock Nasdaq under the authority of Listing Rule 5101 to halt trading in our common stock or apply additional or more stringent criteria for the continued listing of our common stock, assuming initial listing is granted, even though our common stock then meets all enumerated criteria for initial or continued listing on Nasdaq.

 

If a limited number of participants in this offering purchase a significant percentage of the offering, the effective public float may be smaller than anticipated and the trading price of our common stock may be volatile which could subject us to securities litigation and make it more difficult for you to sell your shares and could cause NASDAQ to temporarily halt trading in or delist our common stock.

 

The market prices of certain small cap companies, including companies whose operations are based in China, recently have been highly volatile. As a company conducting a public offering, we are subject to the risk that a small number of investors will purchase a high percentage of the offering. We have not imposed any obligations on the underwriters as to the maximum number of shares they may place with individual investors. If, in the course of marketing the offering, the underwriters were to determine that demand for our shares was concentrated in a limited number of investors and such investors determined to hold their shares after the offering rather than trade them in the market, other shareholders could find the trading and price of our shares affected (positively or negatively) by the limited availability of our shares. If this were to happen, investors could find our shares to be more volatile than they might otherwise anticipate. Companies that experience such volatility in their share price may be more likely to be the subject of securities litigation. In addition, if a large portion of our public float were to be held by a few investors, smaller investors may find it more difficult to sell their shares. Further, such volatility in the market price of our common stock could cause Nasdaq under the authority of Listing Rule 5101 to halt trading in our common stock or apply additional or more stringent criteria for the continued listing of our common stock, assuming initial listing is granted, even though our common stock then meets all enumerated criteria for initial or continued listing on Nasdaq

The trading price of our common stock has been volatile.

 

The trading price for our common stock has varied during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2022, between a high of $13.98 in January and February of 2022 and a low of $6.04 on December 30, 2022. The last reported trade in our common stock occurred on April 5, 2023, at price of $1.60 per share. Our stock price is likely to continue to be volatile and subject to significant price and volume fluctuations in response to market and other factors. In addition, a substantial decline in the price of our securities that persists for a significant period of time could cause our securities to be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market, further reducing market liquidity. If an active market for our securities does not develop or cannot be sustained, the liquidity of an investor’s investment may be limited, and the price of our securities may decline. If an active market does not exist, investors may lose their entire investment. As a result of any of these factors, the market price of our securities at any given point in time may not accurately reflect our long-term value.

 

The market price of our shares is likely to be highly volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.

 

The trading price of our common stock may be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. This may happen because of the broad market and industry factors, like the performance and fluctuation of the market prices of other companies with business operations located mainly in China that have listed their securities in the United States. The securities of some companies with operations in China and securities listed in the United States have experienced significant volatility, including price declines in connection with their initial public offerings. The trading performance of these Chinese companies’ securities after their offerings may affect the attitudes of investors toward Chinese companies listed in the United States, including those of investors based in China, in general and consequently may impact the trading performance of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

 

In addition to market and industry factors, the trading price and volume of our common stock may be highly volatile due to factors specific to our operations, including the following:

 

variations in our actual and perceived operating results;
   
news regarding gains or losses of customers or partners by us or our competitors;
   
news regarding gains or losses of key personnel by us or our competitors;
   
announcements of competitive developments, acquisitions or strategic alliances in our industry by us or our competitors;
   
changes in earnings estimates or buy/sell recommendations by financial analysts;
   
potential litigation;
   
the imposition of fines or penalties related to our activities in the PRC and failure to comply with applicable rules and regulations;
   
general market conditions or other developments affecting us or our industry; and
   
the operating and stock price performance of other companies, other industries and other events or factors beyond our control.

 

In addition, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These fluctuations may be even more pronounced in the trading market for our shares shortly following this offering. If the market price of our common stock after this offering does not exceed the offering price, you may not realize any return on your investment in us and may lose some or all of your investment. Securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the overall market and in the market price of a company’s securities. This litigation, if instituted against us, could result in very substantial costs, divert our management’s attention and resources, and harm our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, recent fluctuations in the financial and capital markets have resulted in volatility in securities prices.

The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our common stock could adversely affect its market price.

 

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after the completion of this offering, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future. The common stock sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, and shares held by our existing shareholders may also be sold in the public market in the future subject to the restrictions in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and the applicable lock-up agreements. There will be 24,249,945 shares of common stock outstanding immediately after this offering or 25,187,445 shares assuming the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. In connection with this offering, we and each of our directors and officers named in the section “Management,” have agreed not to sell any common stock for six months from the date of this prospectus without the prior written consent of the underwriter, subject to certain exceptions. However, the underwriters may release these securities from these restrictions at any time, subject to applicable regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). We cannot predict what effect, if any, market sales of securities held by our significant shareholders or any other shareholder or the availability of these securities for future sale will have on the market price of our common stock. See “Underwriting” and “Shares Eligible for Future Sale” for a more detailed description of the restrictions on selling our securities after this offering.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our common stock, the market price for our common stock and trading volume could decline.

 

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by research or reports that industry or securities analysts publish about our business. If one or more analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock, the market price for our common stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the market price or trading volume for our common stock to decline.

 

Because we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future after this offering, you must rely on price appreciation of our common stock for return on your investment.

 

To date, we have not paid dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain all of our available funds and any future earnings after this offering to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in our common stock as a source for dividend income.

 

Our board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends. The timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Accordingly, the return on your investment in our common stock will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our common stock. There is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value after this offering or even maintain the price at which you purchased our common stock and you may even lose your entire investment.

 

You must rely on the judgment of our management as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering, and such use may not produce income or increase our share price.

 

We plan to use the net proceeds of this offering primarily for expanding our manufacturing facilities, pursuing business development opportunities and working capital and other general corporate purposes. See “Use of Proceeds.” However, our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds received by us. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our efforts to achieve or maintain profitability or increase our share price. The net proceeds from this offering may be placed in investments that do not produce income or that lose value.

 

Our CEO has substantial influence over our company. His interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders, and he could prevent or cause a change of control or other transactions.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, Quanzhong Lin, our Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns an aggregate of 58% of our outstanding common stock. Upon completion of this offering, Mr. Lin will beneficially own approximately 31.1% of our outstanding common stock.

 

Accordingly, Mr. Lin could have significant influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, the appointment of directors and other significant corporate actions. Mr. Lin will also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control. Without the consent of Mr. Lin, we may be prevented from entering into transactions that could be beneficial to us or our minority shareholders. In addition, Mr. Lin could violate his fiduciary duties by diverting business opportunities from us to himself or others. The interests of Mr. Lin may differ from the interests of our other shareholders. The concentration in the ownership of our common stock shares may cause a material decline in the value of our common stock. For more information regarding Mr. Lin, see “Principal Shareholders.”

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

After deducting the underwriting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, we expect to receive net proceeds of 21,000,000 from this offering. We anticipate that the proceeds will be applied as follows:

 

Planned Actions  Amount 
Working capital and general corporate purposes  $ 
Fund existing businesses operation (product design and manufacture)    
Expansion of manufacturing facility   - 
Expand e-commerce network    
Branding and marketing    
Offering expenses   

1,500.000

 
Underwriting commissions and expenses   

2,500,000

 
     
TOTAL  $25,000,000 

 

The amount and timing of these expenditures will vary depending on a number of factors, including the amount of cash generated by our operations and the rate of growth, if any, of our business.

 

Although we may use a portion of the proceeds for the acquisition of, or investment in, companies, technologies, products or assets that complement our business, we have no present understandings, commitments or agreements to enter into any acquisitions or make any investments. We cannot assure you that we will make any acquisitions or investments in the future.

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our common stock in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share you will pay in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering.

 

Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2022 was ($        ), or $         per share of common stock. Net tangible book value represents total tangible assets less total liabilities. Tangible assets represent total assets excluding goodwill and other intangible assets. Net tangible book value per share represents net tangible book value divided by the aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 3022.

 

If our common stock is sold in this offering at the public offering price of $4.00, assuming the underwriters do not exercise the option to purchase additional shares of our common stock after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and the application of such net proceeds as described under “Use of Proceeds,” our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2022 would have been approximately $         million, or approximately $        per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of $          per share of common stock to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution (i.e., the difference between the offering price and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value after this offering) to investors participating in this offering of $          per share of common stock. The following table illustrates this per share dilution to the new investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering:

 

   Offering(1)  

Full Over-

allotment

Post-offering(2)

 
Assumed offering price per share  $                                                         
Net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2022  $     
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to
this offering
  $     
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per common stock
after the offering
  $     
Dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share
to investors in this offering
  $     

 

(1) Assumes gross proceeds from offering of               shares.
(2) Assumes gross proceeds from offering of               shares, if over-allotment option is exercised in full.

 

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the public offering price of $          per share would increase (decrease) the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value by $               , the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering by $           per share and the dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share to investors in this offering by $             per share, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the underwriter commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

  (1)All per share amounts in this section give effect to the reduction in the number of our shares of common stock outstanding as a result of the contribution to our capital by Quanzhong Lin of seven million shares of our common stock to be effective upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQX under the symbol “AIXN.” From February 6, 2019, until January 22, 2021, our common stock traded on the OTCQB

 

Trading in stocks quoted on the OTCQX and OTCQB is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market for our common stock in the future.

 

The following table sets forth the high and low trading prices of one share of our common stock for each fiscal quarter over the past two fiscal years, and from January 1, 2023 to the date of this prospectus. The quotations provided are for the over-the-counter market, which reflect interdealer prices without retail mark-up, mark-down or commissions, and may not represent actual transactions. Our common stock trades on a limited, sporadic and volatile basis. These high and low bid prices per share of common stock have been adjusted to give effect to the 1 for 4 reverse stock split of our common stock effected on October 27, 2020, and the 1 for 2 reverse stock split of our common stock effected on February 17, 2023. The prices set forth in the table below have not been adjusted to reflect any change as a result of the reduction in the number of our shares of common stock to be outstanding as a result of the seven million shares of our common stock to be contributed to our capital by Quanzhong Lin upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part.

 

Year ended December 31, 2023 (1)   High     Low  
First Quarter   $ 14.20     $ 5.82  

 

Year ended December 31, 2022  High   Low 
First Quarter  $13.96   $6.44 
Second Quarter  $10.94   $6.64 
Third Quarter  $8.00   $6.64 
Fourth Quarter  $7.50   $6.70 

 

Year ended December 31, 2021   High     Low  
First Quarter   $ 9.60     $ 12.26  
Second Quarter   $ 14.00     $ 10,20

Dividend Policy

 

No cash dividends were paid on our shares of common stock since we acquired AiXin BVI. We do not foresee declaring any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

 

In 2019 we adopted the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of shares of common stock for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, bonus stock, dividend equivalents, other stock related awards and performance awards that may be settled in cash, stock, or other property. The 2019 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 625,000 shares.

 

We adopted the 2019 Plan to provide a means by which employees, directors, and consultants of our Company and those of our subsidiaries and other designated affiliates, which we refer to together as our affiliates, may be given an opportunity to purchase our common stock, to assist in retaining the services of such persons, to secure and retain the services of persons capable of filling such positions, and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for our success and the success of our affiliates. The material features of the 2019 Plan are outlined below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the 2019 Plan which has been filed with the SEC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated audited financial statements and related notes thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Where possible, we have tried to identify these forward-looking statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “intends,” or similar expressions. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus.

 

This prospectus contains statements that we believe are, or may be considered to be, “forward-looking statements”. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this prospectus regarding the prospects of our industry or our prospects, plans, financial position or business strategy, may constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “foresee,” “project,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plans,” “forecasts,” “continue” or “could” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terms. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements may be included in various filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission or press releases or oral statements made by or with the approval of one of our authorized executive officers. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these expectations will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in these forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements contained herein, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to any forward-looking statements. You are advised, however, to consult any additional disclosures we make in our reports to the SEC. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this prospectus.

 

You should read the matters described in “Risk Factors” and the other cautionary statements made in this prospectus, and incorporated by reference herein, as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus. We cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this prospectus will prove to be accurate and therefore prospective investors are encouraged not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

 

Corporate History

 

AiXin Life International, Inc. (“AiXin Life” or “AiXin Colorado”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on December 30, 1987. In February 2, 2017, Mr. Quanzhong Lin (Mr. Lin) purchased 7,380,352 shares of our common stock, 65.0% of its outstanding shares for $300,000. In December 2017, we issued 56,838,151 shares of common stock to Mr. Lin, the sole stockholder of AiXin (BVI) International Group Co., Ltd. a British Virgin Islands corporation (“AiXin BVI”), for all of the outstanding shares of AiXin BVI. As a result, AiXin BVI became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and through AiXin BVI we now own all of the outstanding shares of HK AiXin International Group Co., Limited, a Hong Kong limited company (“AiXin HK”), which in turn owns all of the outstanding shares of Chengdu AiXinZhonghong Biological Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese limited company (“AiXinZhonghong”), which markets and sells premium-quality nutritional products in China. AiXinZhonghong began distributing nutritional products in 2013.

 

For accounting purposes, the acquisition of AiXin BVI was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and treated as a recapitalization of the Company effected by a share exchange, with AiXin BVI as the accounting acquirer. Since neither AiXin BVI nor AiXin HK had operations prior to the date on which we acquired AiXin BVI, the historical consolidated financial statements of AiXinZhonghong are now the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company. The assets and liabilities of AiXinZhonghong were brought forward at their book value and no goodwill was recognized.

In September 2021 we completed the acquisition of nine pharmacies located in Chengdu, each of which is owned by a separate subsidiary. Since that time, the number of our pharmacies has increased to 13. The staff at our pharmacies is being trained to reach out to customers and make them aware of the benefits of our health and wellness products. In addition, the pharmacies serve as convenient locations where repeat customers can buy our products.

 

More recently, in September 2022, we acquired Yunnan Runcangsheng based in Yunnan Province which engages in the research, development, manufacture and wholesale distribution of health foods. Yunnan Runcangsheng operates a 13,000 square meter production facility, which houses R&D centers, extraction facilities, preparation workshops and a warehouse. Yunnan Runcangsheng has more than 30 sub brands and operates planting facilities where it grows some of the key ingredients used in its products. Many of the products it has developed are specifically targeted to alleviate symptoms associated with the increasingly competitive and pressured lifestyle of the Chinese middle class.

 

In addition to our acquisitions in the health and nutritional sector, in July 2021, we acquired a hotel located in the Jinniu District, Chengdu City. We envision utilizing the hotel to conduct marketing events and seminars for our customers, and training sessions for our personnel at which we introduce new products and services intended to promote healthy living.

 

We intend to look for additional opportunities to profit from the growing healthcare market in China. Though currently we are not party to any agreements, we will explore, among other opportunities, expanding our product line through internal research and acquiring complementary products from third parties, acquiring additional pharmacies and other retail outlets and operating nursing homes and possibly clinics which provide medical care to clients.

 

Our Business

 

We are focused on providing health and wellness products to the growing middle class in China. We currently develop, manufacture, market and sell premium-quality healthcare, nutritional products and wellness supplements, including herbs and greens, traditional Chinese remedies, functional products, such as weight management tools, probiotics, foods and drinks. We also offer products purchased from third parties and provide advertising and marketing services to clients which engage us to market and distribute their products. We offer our products and those of clients for which we provide marketing services, through a diversified, omni-channel business model which generates revenues through retail and wholesale product sales, through company-owned pharmacies, direct marketing and e-commerce. Our marketing approach emphasizes proactively approaching customers such as by hosting marketing events for clients, which we believe is ideally suited to marketing the products we offer because sales of healthcare, nutritional products and supplements are strengthened by ongoing personal contact and support, coaching and education among the Company and our clients towards how to achieve a healthy and active lifestyle.

 

We believe the competitive strengths that will enable us to grow in the health and wellness market include our ability to design and manufacture products that are responsive to consumers’ needs as the life style of China’s middle class evolves, our coordinated omni-channel distribution network where we enable consumers to obtain the information they need to improve their lifestyle on our website, at our pharmacies and through individual meetings with our team members.

 

Our ability to operate profitably and generate positive cash flow will be determined by our ability to attract a large and loyal customer base and provide the information and products they need cost effectively. Our revenue will largely be determined by our ability to achieve and maintain a strong brand name and company image, the volume of products we sell and the prices we can charge for such products, which will require that we compete effectively. Our costs will largely be determined by the cost of raw materials and acquired inventory, the labor used to design and manufacture products, and the costs incurred to deliver these products to the consumer.

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization announced that infections caused by the coronavirus disease of 2019 (“COVID-19”) had become pandemic and national, provincial and local authorities, including those whose jurisdictions include Chengdu, where our offices, hotel and pharmacies are located, adopted various regulations and orders, including “shelter in place” rules, restrictions on travel, mandates on the number of people that may gather in one location and closing non-essential businesses. Many of these measures were relaxed due to the decrease in the prevalence of Covid-19 in China. Due to China’s enforcement of its zero-tolerance policy, Chengdu has recently been subject to shelter in place rules, lockdowns, restrictions on travel and other measures which have negatively impacted our business operations. In particular, lockdowns, limitations on travel and limits on the number of people that may gather in one location negatively impact our marketing efforts. China recently moved away from its reliance upon a “zero-tolerance” policy, it has been reported that the number of COVID-19 cases in China has surged after the government abandoned its zero-tolerance policy. It is likely that this sudden increase in COVID cases will cause many individuals to voluntarily restrict their travel which could adversely impact many industries in China, including us. Moreover, the perception that Covid-19 and other infectious diseases are on the rise, may make some potential customers reluctant to attend large gatherings or meet with members of our sales team which could limit our sales growth. We have implemented procedures to promote employee and customer safety. These measures will not significantly increase our operating costs. However, we cannot predict with certainty what measures may be taken by our suppliers and customers and the impact these measures may have on our financial results for 2022.

 

Our Current Strategy

 

We intend to build a reputation as a provider of premium health and wellness products that seeks to improve our customers health and well being. Our objective is to offer a broad and deep mix of products for consumers interested in living well, whether they are looking to treat a health-related issue or simply maintain their overall wellness, Our premium, value-added offerings include both proprietary products developed and manufactured by us as well as products acquired from or sold on behalf of third parties. We believe our range of products and ability to develop new products, combined with the customer support and service we offer, differentiate us and allow us to effectively compete against food, drug and mass channel players, specialty stores, independent vitamin, supplement and natural food shops and online retailers.

We believe that the innovative capability we now have as a result of our acquisition of Yunnan Runcangsheng is a significant competitive advantage. The vertical integration this gives us allows us to monitor the changing buying patterns of our customers to quickly and efficiently design new products they desire and drives increased efficiencies in manufacturing and supply chain.

 

Our retail strategy is to deliver a compelling experience at every customer touch point. We recognize that the growing Chinese middle class is searching for product expertise and knowledgeable customer service in choosing health and wellness products. We differentiate ourselves from competitors by educating our team members as to the benefits of our products with regular training that focuses on solution-based selling. With this training and information regarding a customer’s purchasing habits available in our data bases, members of our sales team can engage customers in conversation, share product information and testimonials, recommend solutions and help customers add complimentary products and build wellness regimens.

 

Our loyalty programs will allow us to develop and maintain a large and loyal customer base, provide targeted offers and information, and connect with our customers on a regular basis. We harness data generated by these programs to better understand customers’ buying behaviors and needs, so we can deliver a stronger experience, bring like-minded consumers into the channel and make well-informed decisions about the business.

 

We believe our diversified, omni-channel model, which includes company-owned pharmacies, direct marketing, large scale marketing events, and e-commerce channels, differentiates us from online-only competitors. Our strategy is to give consumers a seamless, integrated experience across all distribution channels. We believe our sales offices and pharmacies is a competitive advantage which enhances our online presence and platform, allowing customers to experience our products and get expert advice from a coach. Our omni-channel model can enhance the customer experience and increase the lifetime value of our customers and we are implementing strategies over the next 12-18 months to blend our digital, online and in-store platforms.

 

Our business is dependent on consumer demand for our products and services. We believe that the significant growing middle class and changing lifestyles in China offer an opportunity to provide consumers with products that will enable them to maintain their health and well being and deal with the ailments that accompany their changing lifestyles. Many of these customers are highly sensitive to the cost of our products and lack the knowledge to choose the optimal products. We believe that the combination of information and products we will provide will best serve to meet our customers’ needs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates past judgments and estimates, including those related to bad debts, accrued liabilities, and contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed 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. We describe below those critical accounting policies that, as a result of judgments, uncertainties, uniqueness and complexities of the underlying accounting standards and operation involved could result in material changes to our financial position or results of operations under different conditions or using different assumptions.

 

We acquired Yunnan Runcangsheng on September 30, 2022. Consequently, although its assets and liabilities are included in our balance sheet data as of September 30, 2022, the results of its operations will only be included from and after September 30, 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in financing activities was $592,814 as a result of payments made against advances from related parties.

 

Liquidity

 

During the nine months ended of September 30, 2022, we used $1,412,550 in operations. As of September 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were $5,298,503 (excluding $80,303 of restricted cash), compared to $8,556,642 (excluding $44,211 of restricted cash) as of December 31, 2021. At September 30, 2022, we had a working capital deficit of $2,461,269 compared to working capital of $4,753,390 at December 31, 2021.

Of the $5,298,503 in cash and cash equivalents on hand as of September 30, 2022, we anticipate using approximately $4.3 million to complete the acquisition of Runcangsheng. In addition, as it continues to acquire additional material, equipment and raw materials, Runcangsheng may require additional cash to fund its operations. Should we continue to incur operating losses and incur negative cash flow after completing such acquisition, we may have to seek to raise capital. We may also have to raise additional financing as our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business as a result of our acquisition of Runcangsheng. In the past we have funded our operations through the proceeds from private placements of equity and advances from our principal shareholder. Should we require capital to fund our business, we intend to finance our business by raising additional capital or, when available, borrowing additional funds. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders and could cause the price of our common stock to decrease. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.

 

We are subject to all of the substantial risks inherent in the development of a new business enterprise within an extremely competitive industry. Due to the absence of a long standing operating history and the emerging nature of the markets in which we compete, we anticipate operating losses until we can successfully implement our business strategy. Our revenue model is new and evolving, and we cannot be certain that it will be successful. The potential profitability of our business model is unproven. We may never ever achieve profitable operations. Our future operating results depend on many factors, including demand for our services, the level of competition, and the ability of our officers to manage our business and growth. As a result of the emerging nature of the market in which we compete, we may incur operating losses until such time as we can develop a substantial and stable revenue base. Additional development expenses may delay or negatively impact the ability of the Company to generate profits. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that our business model will be successful or that we can sustain revenue growth, achieve or sustain profitability, or continue as a going concern.

 

We expect to finance our operations primarily through cash flow from operations and the proceeds of this offering until such time as our cash is used to support operations or increase our business through acquisitions. At this time, we are not party to any agreement with respect to the acquisition of new products, business or operations outside of the ordinary course of business.

 

53
 

 

Our ability to obtain funds through the issuance of debt or equity is dependent upon the state of the financial markets at such time as we may seek to raise funds and the willingness of participants in the capital markets to fund business whose operations are in China. The state of the capital market markets may be adversely impacted by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to future and current impacts of global events such as COVID-19 and the war in the Ukraine, increases in inflation and other risks set forth herein.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

Our results of operations may be affected by inflation, particularly rising prices for labor, raw materials, products and other operating costs, if we cannot pass such increases along to our customers in the form of higher prices for our products and services. Generally, our inventory turns multiple times per year and we anticipate that we will be able to increase prices on products to reflect increases in the cost of inventory.

 

Foreign Currency Translation Risk

 

Our operations are located in China, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility in foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). All of our sales are in RMB. In the past years, RMB continued to appreciate against the U.S. dollar. As of December 31, 2021, the market foreign exchange rate had decreased to RMB 6.37 to one U.S. dollar. Our financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. All translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of equity. The foreign currency translation gain for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K) as of September 30, 2022 that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Contingencies

 

Our operations are conducted in the PRC and are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments in China and foreign currency exchange rates. Our results may be adversely affected by changes in PRC government policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

 

54
 

 

Our sales, purchases and expense transactions in China are denominated in RMB and all of our assets and liabilities in China are also denominated in RMB. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies under the current PRC law. In China, foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions. Remittances in currencies other than RMB may require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, we believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to assist you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”). The functional currency of AiXin is Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The accompanying financial statements are translated from RMB and presented in U.S. dollars (“USD”).

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, and the reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

We maintain an allowance for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the bad debt allowance was $213,787 and $148,520, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), became effective for us on January 1, 2018. Our revenue recognition disclosure reflects updated accounting policies that are affected by this new standard. We applied the “modified retrospective” transition method for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606. As revenues are and have been primarily from the delivery of products and the performance of services, and we have no significant post-delivery obligations, this did not result in a material recognition of revenue on the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the cumulative impact of applying this new standard. We made no adjustments to previously-reported total revenues, as those periods continue to be presented in accordance with our historical accounting practices under Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.

 

55
 

 

Revenue from sale of goods under Topic 606 is recognized in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of our products and services to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

 

  executed contract(s) with customers that we believe are legally enforceable;
     
  identification of performance obligation in the respective contract;
     
  determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
     
  allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
     
  recognition of revenue only when we satisfy each performance obligation.

 

Our revenue recognition policies for our operating segments are as follows:

 

Advertising and Products

 

Advertising Revenue

 

Commencing in the third quarter of 2019 we began to provide advertising services to our clients. Advertising contracts are signed to establish the price and advertising services to be provided. Pursuant to the advertising contracts, we provided advertising and marketing services to clients through exhibition events, conferences, and person-to-person marketing. We perform a credit assessment of each customer to assess the collectability of the contract price prior to entering into contracts.

 

Most of the advertisement contracts designated that we perform advertising services for the client through exhibition events, conferences, and person-to-person marketing during the contracted period, regardless of the number of such events. As such, we determined that the performance obligation is satisfied over time during the contracted period and revenue is recognized accordingly. Such advertising revenue amounted to $1,944,811 and $1,863,785 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

A smaller proportion of our advertising revenue is generated from services to clients through exhibition events, conferences, and person-to-person marketing, and our compensation is based on the number of products sold. Such advertising revenue amounted to $0 and $6,558 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

All of the advertising revenue is subject to the PRC VAT of 6%. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by us for raw materials and other materials purchased in China.

 

Products Revenue

 

Our revenue from sales of products is recognized when goods are delivered to the customer and no other obligation exists. We do not provide unconditional return or other concessions to customers. Our sales policy allows for the return of unopened products for cash after deducting certain service and transaction fees. As an alternative to returning a product, customers may request an exchange for products with the same value.

 

Product sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). All of our products sold in China are subject to the PRC VAT of 17% of the gross sales price prior to May 1, 2018, 16% since May 1, 2018 and 13% since April 1, 2019. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by for raw materials and other materials purchased in China. We record VAT payables and VAT receivables net of payments in the financial statements. The VAT tax return is filed offsetting the payables against the receivables. Sales and purchases are recorded net of VAT collected and paid as we act as an agent for the government.

 

56
 

 

Hotel

 

Hotel revenues are primarily derived from the rental of rooms, food and beverage sales and other ancillary goods and services, including but not limited to souvenir, parking and conference reservations. Each of these products and services represents a distinct performance obligation and, in exchange for these services, we receive fixed amounts based on published rates or negotiated contracts. Payment is due in full at the time when the services are rendered or the goods are provided. Room rental revenue is recognized on a daily basis when rooms are occupied. Food and beverage revenue and other goods and services revenue are recognized when they have been delivered or rendered to the guests as the respective performance obligations are satisfied. All of the hotel’s goods sold in China are subject to the PRC VAT of 6%. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by on raw materials and other materials purchased in China.

 

Pharmacies

 

Our retail drugstores recognize revenue at the time the customer takes possession of the merchandise. For pharmacy sales, each prescription claim is its own arrangement with the customer and is a performance obligation. We generally receive payment from pharmacy customers we satisfy our performance obligations. We record a receivable when we have an unconditional right to receive payment and only the passage of time is required before payment is due. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of VAT. All of the products sold in our pharmacies are exempt from VAT as the pharmacies qualify for a small business exemption.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The functional currency of our business operations is RMB. For financial reporting purposes, RMB is translated into USD as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period.

 

Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income”. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income. There was no significant fluctuation in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.

 

We use FASB ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”. Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. Comprehensive loss for years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 consisted of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments.

BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

We (AiXin Life International, Inc.) are a Colorado holding company with no material operations of our own. We conduct substantially all of our operations through our operating companies established in the PRC. From the time we acquired AiXin BVI in December 2017, our focus has been providing health and wellness products to the growing middle class in China. We currently develop, manufacture, market and sell premium-quality healthcare, nutritional products and wellness supplements, including herbs and greens, traditional Chinese remedies, functional products, such as weight management products, probiotics, foods and drinks. We also provide advertising and marketing services to clients which engage us to market and distribute their products. We offer our products and those of clients for which we provide marketing services, through a diversified, omni-channel business model which generates revenues through retail and wholesale product sales, through company-owned pharmacies, direct marketing and e-commerce.

 

In December 2017, when we acquired AiXin BVI, it indirectly owned all of the capital stock of AixinZhonghong. AixinZhinghong began distributing nutritional products in 2013. AixinZhonghong offers nutritional products to its customers through a direct marketing team, at large scale entertainment style events which it organizes for the benefit of its clients and more recently, through e-commerce. In 2019, AixinZhonghong began to provide marketing and distribution services to other manufacturers and suppliers of healthcare products. AixinZhonghong has a proactive approach reaching out to customers to provide them with information as to how to live a healthy lifestyle. We believe this approach is ideally suited to marketing health and wellness products as sales of these products are strengthened by ongoing personal contact and support, coaching and education of clients, as to the benefits of a healthy and active lifestyle.

 

In June 2021, we acquired nine retail pharmacies in Chengdu. We utilize these pharmacies to distribute our health and wellness products and serve as learning centers for our clients along with their traditional business. Since June 2021 we have added four additional pharmacies and now operate thirteen pharmacies. We intend to seek to continue to expand our chain of pharmacies and to use these outlets as part of our overall marketing strategy. As part of our marketing efforts, we will educate the employees at our pharmacies as to the benefits of our health and wellness products so they can closely work with our clients.

 

More recently, in September 2022, we acquired Yunnan Runcangsheng which engages in the research, development, manufacture and wholesale distribution of health and wellness products. Yunnan Runcangsheng operates a 13,000 square meter production facility, including, R&D centers, extraction facilities, preparation workshops and a warehouse. Yunnan Runcangsheng has more than 30 brand names under which it distributes products and maintains and operates planting facilities where it grows some of the key ingredients used in its products. Many of the products it has developed are specifically targeted to alleviate ailments associated with the increasingly competitive and pressured lifestyle of Chinese people, such as hypertension and obesity which result from a more pressured yet sedentary lifestyle, symptoms associated with changing eating habits and the presence of environmental toxins that are becoming more widespread through the use of western style pesticides and fertilizers. When we entered into the agreement to acquire Yunnan Runcangsheng we began to distribute its products through our distribution channels and continue to do so.

 

In addition to our acquisitions in the health and nutritional sector, in July 2021, we acquired Chengdu AiXin Shangyan Hotel Management Co., Ltd (“AiXin Shangyan Hotel”) which operates the Shangyan Hotel located in the Jinniu District, Chengdu City. While we have continued the hotel’s pre-acquisition business, we intend to use the hotel to host events at which we educate our team members and customers as to the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, introduce new products and offer our complete product line for sale.

 

We intend to look for additional opportunities to profit from the growing healthcare market in China. Though currently we are not party to any agreements, we will explore, among other opportunities, expanding our product line through internal research and acquiring complementary products from third parties, acquiring additional pharmacies and other retail outlets and operating nursing homes and possibly clinics which provide medical care to clients.

 

Business Objectives

 

Key elements of our strategy are detailed below:

 

Leading brand of nutritional supplements. Our primary goal is to develop recognized brand names with a reputation as a provider of quality health and wellness products which deliver demonstrable benefits to our customers. Our objective is to provide members of the growing Chinese middle class with the information necessary to maintain a healthy lifestyle and to offer them a broad and deep mix of products whether the customer is looking to treat a specific health-related issue, maintain their overall wellness or improve their performance. Our premium, value-added offerings will include both proprietary branded products and other branded products provided by third parties to meet needs not met by our in-house products.

 

We believe that by offering a variety of branded exclusive products and a wide range of merchandise, and close customer support and services, we will be able to differentiate our company from competitors and effectively compete against other food, drug and mass channel players, specialty stores, independent vitamin, supplement and natural food shops and online retailers. We further believe that if we succeed in developing and maintaining a positive reputation, we will be able to offer additional products and services to our clients.

 

58
 

 

Product development and innovation. With the acquisition of Yunnan Runcangsheng we now have the facilities and, more importantly, knowledgeable, experienced personnel, to develop high-quality, innovative health foods and nutritional supplement products that will be offered by our direct marketing team and available through our company-owned pharmacies, our website and, as demand grows other select marketplaces and wholesale partners. To the extent desirable we will grow some of the key ingredients in our products. When we choose to use ingredients of third parties, they will be rigorously tested before they are added to our products, undergoing multiple quality checks to ensure that they meet our high standards for purity, composition and absence of contaminants.

 

We believe our capability to innovate and respond to customer needs by designing new products gives us a significant competitive advantage. At Yunnan Runcangsheng we directly employ scientists, nutritionists, formulators, and quality control experts who work at our research and manufacturing facilities.

 

A differentiated customer experience. One of the key differentiators to our marketing strategy is the continued development of well-trained team members first used at AiXinZhonghong that work closely with customers. We will provide our team members with regular training and education focused on the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, the advantages of our products and solution-based selling. We will also maintain and make available to our team members data bases of our customers purchasing patterns. With their knowledge of the available products our team members can engage customers in conversation, access the customer’s purchasing history through our data base, share product information and testimonials, and recommend solutions and help customers add complimentary products and build wellness regimens. We operate in a highly personalized, aspirational sector and believe that health food and nutritional supplement consumer often desires and seeks out product expertise and knowledgeable customer service.

 

At AiXinZhonghong we developed loyalty programs to reward customers and incentivize them to introduce our products to their friends. A number of AiXinZhonghong’s customers in fact acted as independent marketers, buying products from us and distributing them to others at a profit. We intend to continue to use loyalty programs to develop and maintain a large and loyal customer base, provide targeted offers and information, and connect with our customers on a regular basis. We will harness data generated by these programs to better understand customers’ buying behaviors and needs, so we can deliver a more rewarding experience, encourage our customers to introduce our products to their friends and make well-informed decisions about the direction of our business.

 

As we grow and develop our customer base, we can use our hotel as a site for educational seminars, conferences and marketing events featuring well known experts in the wellness sector. These events can be used to increase customer loyalty and to educate our team members as to the benefits of a healthy life style and our products so they can better serve our customers by guiding them to products that meet their needs.

 

Omni-channel development. We believe our diversified, omni-channel model, which includes company-owned offices open to clients, pharmacies, direct marketing by our team members, individually and at large scale company sponsored marketing events, wholesale locations and e-commerce channels, can differentiate us from many of our competitors, particularly those that rely exclusively on online marketing efforts. Our strategy is to give consumers a seamless, integrated experience across digital, mobile and in-store channels and in every interaction with us and our products.

 

Through our website and in conversations with our well-trained team members, customers can research our products and purchase them online or at one of our local pharmacies or sales offices. We believe our physical store base provides a competitive advantage, allowing customers to experience our products and get expert advice from our team members.

 

Our omni-channel model can enhance the customer experience and increase the value of a customer to us and we will implement strategies to blend our digital, online and in-store platforms, always stressing the availability and benefits of a conversation with one of our team members. These initiatives will include increased cross-channel marketing, online and in-store subscription services, giving customers the option of picking up online purchases at our stores, delivering products purchased via e-commerce directly from stores, and providing educational content, information and advice online, at our pharmacies o through a personal visit by one of our team members.

 

59
 

 

Vertical Integration. We believe that our multi-channel distribution model, combined with our research, development and manufacturing capabilities offers us a unique advantage over our competitors. The daily feedback received from interactions between our team members and customers will be monitored to recognize what our customers want and rapidly develop products to meet their desires. Instead of simply responding to trends in the market, we will seek to bring new topical products to the market before they are generally available.

 

Products

 

Our pharmacies offer a wide variety of personal healthcare products and traditional Chinese remedies in addition to our health and wellness products. They began to carry the products developed by Yunnan Runcanscheng prior to completion of that acquisition. The primary products currently distributed by us, including those of Yunnan Runcangsheng include rhino king, colostrum powder derived from goat’s milk, tong li ke, gammaoling granules, amoxicillin capsules, loratadine tablets, and fuyang granules.

 

Marketing

 

Our target customer is the growing population of middle- and upper-class Chinese who are willing to devote increasing amounts to healthcare products as their incomes grow. We believe that as this group grows, becomes more affluent and adopts a more western sedentary life-style and diet, it will experience obesity, hypertension, heart disease, back pain and some of the negative symptoms common in developed countries. Our marketing efforts include proactively approaching these customers through person-to-person marketing and by hosting educational and informative events, which we believe is ideally suited to marketing our products and those of our clients for which we perform advertising services because sales of health and wellness products and supplements are strengthened by ongoing personal contact and support, coaching and education towards how to achieve a healthy and active lifestyle.

 

We currently market our products through our pharmacies, at large scale marketing events which feature popular local entertainers, at our offices which customers are encouraged to use for social gatherings, at wholesale and online. Key to our marketing efforts are the members of our marketing team who make themselves available to individual customers and work with such customers to develop a healthy well balanced dietary regimen. As part of our educational efforts, we distribute informational videos to our clients on-line and make multiple posts on social media daily. Off-line, in addition to distributing products through our pharmacies, we utilize person-to-person marketing to promote and sell products. These personal marketing efforts include hosting educational events and allowing customers to utilize our facilities for social gatherings.

 

In addition to our marketing efforts, through our loyalty program we encourage our customers to distribute our products to others. Our program for increasing the number of clients interested in reselling the products we offer and for developing new clients who demonstrate the ability to sell our products to others, is to provide them with compensation, in the form of quantity purchase discounts and other incentives, such as free meals, travel or vacations.

 

We offer our clients a customer satisfaction guarantee. Our sales policy allows for the return of unopened products for cash after deducting certain service and transaction fees. As an alternative to returning a product, customers can exchange a product for another of the same value.

 

Manufacturing

 

As a result of the acquisition of Yunnan Runcangsheng, we now have a 13,000 sq. meter manufacturing center inclusive of office space, R&D centers, extraction workshops, preparation workshops, traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces workshops and storage areas. The activities include research and development, extraction and intensive processing of traditional Chinese medicines and processing to incorporate active ingredients into tablets, capsules, granules and pills according to market demand and product attributes. The facility was designed and constructed and is operated in compliance with applicable national health food and pharmaceutical standards (GMP), and has achieved ISO quality system certification and HACCP food safety system certification.

 

60
 

 

Raw Materials

 

The raw materials used in products we manufacture are generally readily available, subject to fluctuations in price due to supply and demand issues. We do not look to enter into long term contracts with any of our suppliers as the materials we need shifts as demand for our products changes.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We believe that we need to develop well recognized brand names and, when possible, obtain patents covering products we develop, their formulae or the processes by which they are manufactured. Runcangsheng has received patents on certain manufacturing processes and has used multiple brand names for its products. Given the early stage of Runcangsheng’s development and the limited historical operations of AiXinZhonghong, our products and brand names have yet to achieve the widespread recognition we envision. Further, we have yet to determine whether the patents Runcangsheng has received will prevent others from marketing competitive products or using manufacturing processes similar to those we have developed. See, “Risk Factors – Risks Associated with Our Company -, Our ability to adequately protect our trade names, trademarks and patents could have an impact on our brand images and ability to penetrate new markets.

 

Competition

 

The category of nutritional products is very competitive and there are various channels through which such products are marketed to consumers, including direct selling, through the internet, through specialty retailers, pharmacies and discount channels of food, drug and mass merchandisers. We seek to differentiate ourselves by being familiar with our clients and providing a personalized sales experience and focusing on after-sale services where sales employees focus on the consultative sales process through product education and the frequent contact and support that many sales employees have with the clients. From a competitive standpoint, there are many providers and sales outlets of nutritional products in China. We believe that none have effectively combined the product, personal coaching, education and the product access provided by our sales employees and, further, that these efforts are compounded by the peer pressure our clients generate through our organized group sales presentations.

 

Employees

 

As of April 1, 2023, we had approximately 163 employees and there was no labor union established by our employees. The following table sets out a breakdown of the number of employees by function as of April 1, 2023:

 

Function 

Number of

employees

 
Administration   26 
Finance   15 
Manufacturing   43 
Marketing (sales)   72 
R&D   4 
Procurement   3 

 

We believe that we maintain a good working relationship with our employees, and to date we have not experienced any significant labor disputes.

 

Government Regulations

 

We are subject to numerous regulations applicable to businesses generally, including regulations relating to working conditions, employee compensation and the maintenance of welfare plans, environmental regulation and truth in advertising. In addition, the manufacture and distribution of nutritional products is subject to many laws, governmental regulations, administrative determinations and guidance. Such laws, regulations and other constraints exist at the national, provincial and local levels, including regulations pertaining to: (1) the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, distribution, importation, sale and storage of products; (2) product claims and advertising, including direct claims and advertising by us, as well as claims and advertising by manufacturers and distributors of the products we offer, for which we may be held responsible; and (3) taxes. As a distributor, we are subject to only a portion of these laws and regulations. We believe that we are fully compliant with those applicable to our activities.

 

Prior to commencing manufacture or distribution of a product, the manufacturer or distributor may be required to obtain an approval, license or certification from the national, provincial or local government in China. Although we attempt to determine whether all regulatory requirements have been met, we cannot monitor the manufacture of products we acquire for distribution from third parties and cannot be certain that all applicable regulations are satisfied. Moreover, even if we were to determine that a manufacturer or distributor had the requisite license or certification at the beginning of a relationship, we might not become aware if it were to forfeit any regulatory approvals or fail to adhere to applicable requirements.

 

61
 

 

Dietary supplements are subject to regulation by the China Food and Drug Administration. China has highly restrictive nutritional supplement product regulations. Products marketed as “health foods” are subject to extensive laboratory and clinical analysis by government authorities, and the product registration process in China generally takes one to two years but, may be substantially longer. We market both “health foods” and “general foods.” For products we distribute on behalf of or acquired from others, we are not in a position to obtain any required license, though we may be held liable if we were to distribute a product which had not been properly tested and registered with the authorities. There is some risk associated with the common practice in China of marketing a product as a “general food” while seeking “health food” classification. If government officials feel the categorization of a product distributed by us is inconsistent with product claims, ingredients or function, this could end or limit our ability to market such products.

 

As the middle class has grown, the number of manufacturers and distributors of nutritional supplements in China has dramatically increased. Many of these enterprises have often ignored applicable laws and distributed adulterated or inferior products. We believe this has created a marketing opportunity which we have tried to exploit as a trusted source of products on which our clients can rely. To the extent our reputation results from reviewing and testing products prior to distributing them, and then distributing only products determined to be safe, it is incumbent upon us to ensure that the manufacturers and distributors upon which we rely are trustworthy. A failure by any of these third parties could cause substantial damage to our reputation, business and financial results.

 

Direct selling and multi-level marketing are two forms of marketing regulated by various national, provincial and local government agencies in China. These laws and regulations are generally intended to prevent fraudulent or deceptive schemes, including “pyramid” schemes, which compensate participants primarily for recruiting additional participants without significant emphasis on product sales to consumers.

 

Under PRC regulations, “direct selling” refers to a type of business mode in which a company recruits door-to-door salesmen to sell products directly to ultimate consumers outside the companies’ fixed places of business. Businesses engaged in “direct selling” are required to obtain a license from the PRC government. A direct selling company is required to provide vocational training for, and conduct an examination of, any sales promoter it recruits, and obtain a certificate for each sales promoter after the sales promoter has passed the examination. A direct selling company is also required, when commencing operations, to deposit RMB 20 million ($2.9 million) in a special account with a designated bank, which deposit is adjusted on a monthly basis to equal 15% of the operator’s sales from direct selling products up to RMB 0.1 billion ($14.5 million).

 

We do not engage in direct selling activities subject to regulations prevalent in China since we do not employ sales personnel engaged in door-to-door sales outside our place of business.

 

Under PRC regulations, “multi-level marketing” refers to marketing, promotional and sales activities whereby organizers or operators take in new members and compensate each member based upon the number of new members introduced by such member, directly or indirectly, or based upon the level of sales generated by the members introduced by such member. The regulations also prohibit an organizer from requiring new members to deposit a sum of money as a condition to membership or requiring that members recruit additional members to establish a multi-level relationship. PRC regulations distinguish direct selling from multi-level marketing in that all direct sellers are normally trained by the direct selling company and any direct seller is not allowed to develop new followers or form multiple levels.

 

We are not in the direct selling category or multi-level marketing category since (i) we do not pay salaries or commissions to our member distributors, who decide as a matter of personal preference whether to introduce our products to relatives or friends based on their own personal experience of usage and/or trust of our company’s products; (ii) we do not require individuals to deposit a sum of money to become a member; and (iii) we do not pay members to recruit individuals to join in or to form a multi-level relationship.

 

62
 

 

Nevertheless, the laws and regulations governing direct selling and multi-level marketing may be modified or reinterpreted from time to time, which may cause us to change our business model. Regulations are subject to discretionary interpretation by regulators and governmental authorities. There is often ambiguity and uncertainty with respect to the implication of direct selling and anti-pyramiding laws and regulations.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

 

Mr. Quanzhong Lin holds the positions of chief executive officer and chairman of the board of the Company. The board believes that Mr. Lin’s services as both chief executive officer and chairman of the board is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. Mr. Lin is a well-recognized successful entrepreneur in Chengdu. He possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing the Company in its business and is thus best positioned to develop agendas that ensure that the Board’s time and attention are focused on the most critical matters relating to the business of the Company. His combined role enables decisive leadership, ensures clear accountability, and enhances the Company’s ability to communicate its message and strategy clearly and consistently to the Company’s shareholders, employees and customers.

 

The board has not designated a lead director. Given the limited number of directors comprising the Board, the independent directors call and plan their executive sessions collaboratively and, between meetings of the Board, communicate with management and one another directly. Under these circumstances, the directors believe designating a lead director to take on responsibility for functions in which they all currently participate might detract from rather than enhance performance of their responsibilities as directors.

 

Management is responsible for assessing and managing risk, subject to oversight by the board of directors. The board oversees our risk management policies and risk appetite, including operational risks and risks relating to our business strategy and transactions. Various committees of the board assist the board in this oversight responsibility in their respective areas of expertise.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have adopted a Code of Ethical Business Conduct that applies to, among other persons, members of our board of directors, our Company’s officers including our Chief Executive Officer, employees, consultants and advisors. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

 

  1. honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
     
  2. full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by us;
     
  3. compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
     
  4. the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethical Business Conduct to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Ethical Business Conduct; and
     
  5. accountability for adherence to the Code of Ethical Business Conduct.

 

Our Code of Code of Ethical Business Conduct requires, among other things, that all of our company’s senior officers commit to timely, accurate and consistent disclosure of information; that they maintain confidential information; and that they act with honesty and integrity.

 

In addition, our Code of Ethical Business Conduct emphasizes that all employees, and particularly senior officers, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal and state securities laws. Any senior officer, who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to our Company. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our Company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company’s Code of Ethical Business Conduct by another.

 

67

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within sixty (60) days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option, or other right. More than one (1) person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within sixty (60) days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date including the number of such shares which such person has the right to acquire. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below and under applicable community property laws, we believe that the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

We have authorized capital stock consisting of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, we have 24,999,945 shares of our common stock outstanding, without giving effect to the reduction in the number of our shares of common stock to be outstanding as a result of the seven million shares of our common stock to be contributed to our capital by Quanzhong Lin upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part.

 

The following description of our capital stock is a summary only and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable provisions of the Colorado Business Corporations Act (“Colorado Act”), and our charter and Bylaws, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is part. You should refer to, and read this summary together with, our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, each as amended and restated to date, to review all of the terms of our capital stock. Our Articles of Incorporation and amendments thereto are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

 

Common Stock

 

Holders of Shares of Common Stock have the right to cast one vote for each share of Common Stock in their name on the books of our company, whether represented in person or by proxy, on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of Common Stock, including election of directors. There is no right to cumulative voting in election of directors. Except where a greater requirement is provided by statute, by our articles of incorporation, or by our bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of one or more holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares of our Common Stock constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote by the holders of a majority of outstanding Shares is required to effect certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger, or amendment of our articles of incorporation.

 

71
 

 

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Colorado Act does, however, prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend (1) we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business or (2) our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of stockholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

 

Holders of Shares of our Common Stock are not entitled to preemptive or subscription or conversion rights, and no redemption or sinking fund provisions are applicable to our Common Stock. All outstanding Shares of Common Stock sold in the offering are, or when issued pursuant to the terms of any convertible securities or warrants will be, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Each share of our common stock is entitled to equal dividends and distributions per share with respect to the common stock when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors. No holder of any shares of our common stock has a preemptive right to subscribe for any of our securities, nor are any shares of our common stock subject to redemption or convertible into other securities. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, and after payment to our creditors and preferred stockholders, if any, our assets will be divided pro rata on a share-for-share basis among the holders of our common stock. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on all stockholder matters. Shares of our common stock do not possess any cumulative voting rights.

 

The presence of the persons entitled to vote a majority of the outstanding voting shares on a matter before the stockholders constitute the quorum necessary for the consideration of the matter at a stockholders’ meeting.

 

Except as otherwise required by law, the Articles of Incorporation, or any certificate of designations, (i) at all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors, a plurality of votes cast are sufficient to elect such directors; (ii) any other action taken by stockholders are be valid and binding upon the Company if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action, at a meeting at which a quorum is present, except that adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws by stockholders requires the vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote; and (iii) broker non-votes and abstentions are considered for purposes of establishing a quorum but not considered as votes cast for or against a proposal or director nominee. Each stockholder has one vote for every share of stock having voting rights registered in his or her name, except as otherwise provided in any preferred stock designation setting forth the right of preferred stock stockholders.

 

The common stock does not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of 51% of the common stock voting for election of directors can elect 100% of our directors if they choose to do so.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our Articles of Incorporation gives our Board of Directors authority to issue shares of “blank check” preferred stock from time to time in one or more series, pursuant to resolutions adopted by the Board in accordance with the Colorado Act each having the voting powers, if any, designations, powers, preferences, and the relative, participating, optional, or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, of any unissued series of preferred stock, to fix the number of shares constituting such series, and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any such series, but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding, without the delay attendant to obtaining stockholder approval for such issuance.

 

We may issue preferred stock to effect a business combination, to raise capital or for other reasons. In addition, preferred stock could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our company.

 

Our board of directors has no intention at the present time to create any additional series of preferred stock. The issuance of any new series of preferred stock could, depending on the terms of such series, impede the completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt.

 

72
 

 

Any future issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us without further action by the shareholders and may adversely affect the voting and/or other rights of the holders of common stock or any other securities we may issue in the future. The issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal. For instance, the issuance of a series of preferred stock might impede a business combination by including class voting rights that would enable the holders to block such a transaction or facilitate a business combination by including voting rights that would provide a required percentage vote of the stockholders. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the common stock. Although our board of directors is required to make any determination to issue such stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of our stockholders, the board of directors could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some, or a majority, of the stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then market price of such stock. Our board of directors does not at present intend to seek stockholder approval prior to any issuance of currently authorized preferred stock, unless otherwise required by law.

 

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Prior to this offering, only a limited public market for our common stock existed on the OTCQX. Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, including shares issued upon exercise of outstanding warrants, or the anticipation of such sales, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock from time to time and could impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

 

Upon the closing of this offering, we will have 24,249,945 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. In addition, we will have 2,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Underwriter Warrants.

The Underwriter may exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the offering contemplated by this prospectus.

 

Fees and Expenses

 

The Underwriter has advised us that it proposes to offer the shares to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to certain dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $[●] per share. After this offering, the public offering price and concession to dealers may be reduced by the Underwriter. No such reduction shall change the amount of proceeds to be received by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The securities are offered by the Underwriter as stated herein, subject to receipt and acceptance by it and subject to its right to reject any order in whole or in part. The Underwriter has informed us that it does not intend to confirm sales to any accounts over which it exercises discretionary authority.

 

We have agreed to pay the Underwriter a cash fee equal to eight percent (8%) of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in this offering. The following table shows the price per share and total public offering price, underwriting discounts and commissions, and proceeds before expenses to us. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the Underwriter’s over-allotment option.

We will also pay to the Underwriter by deduction from the net proceeds of the offering, a non-accountable expense allowance equal to two percent (2%) of the gross proceeds received by us from the sale of the shares.

 

We have agreed to reimburse the Underwriter up to a maximum of $125,000 for out-of-pocket accountable expenses. We have paid expense deposits of $xx,000 to the Underwriter for its anticipated out-of-pocket expenses; any expense deposits will be returned to us to the extent the Underwriter’s out-of-pocket accountable expenses are not actually incurred in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(5)(A).

Underwriter Warrants

 

In addition, we have agreed to grant the underwriter non-redeemable warrants to purchase an amount equal to eight percent (8%) of the shares of common stock sold in the offering at the commencement of sales of the shares offered hereby, which warrants will be exercisable upon issuance, have a five (5) year term beginning on the date on which sales of the shares offered hereby commence, and a cashless exercise feature. Such warrants are exercisable at a price of 110% of the public offering price of the shares of common stock offered pursuant to this offering. We will register the shares underlying the Underwriter Warrants and will file all necessary undertakings in connection therewith. The Underwriter Warrants may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the commencement of the offering contemplated by this prospectus (in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110), except that they may be assigned, in whole or in part, to any member participating in the offering and the officers or partners thereof, and that all securities so transferred remain subject to the lock-up restriction for the remainder of the time period. The Underwriter Warrants may be exercised as to all or a lesser number of shares, will provide for cashless exercise and will contain provisions for one demand registration of the sale of the underlying shares of common stock at the Company’s expense, an additional demand registration at the warrant holders’ expense, and unlimited “piggyback” registration rights for a period of five years after the effective date of the registration statement at the Company’s expense. The Underwriter’s Warrants shall further provide for adjustment in the number and price of such warrants (and the shares of common stock underlying such warrants) in the event of recapitalization, merger or other structural transaction to prevent dilution. The underwriter will have the option to exercise their warrants at any time, provided that such shares are not transferred during the lock-up period; the 180-day lock period will remain on these underlying shares.

 

Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution of Common Stock

 

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by the underwriter. In addition, the common stock may be sold by the underwriter to securities dealers who resell the common stock to online brokerage account holders. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the underwriter’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by the underwriter is not part of the prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the underwriter in its capacity as underwriter and should not be relied upon by investors.

Lock-up Agreements

 

We have agreed not to, for a period of 180 days beginning on the date of the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of, except in this offering, any of the shares of our common stock or securities that are substantially similar to our shares, including but not limited to any options or warrants to purchase our shares, or any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, our shares or any such substantially similar securities (other than pursuant to employee stock option plans existing on, or upon the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities outstanding as of, the date such lock-up agreement was executed), without the prior written consent of the underwriter.

 

Furthermore, each of our directors, officers and holders of 5% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock have agreed or are otherwise contractually restricted for a period of twelve months after the date of this prospectus, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter not to directly or indirectly:

 

  issue (in the case of us), offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of our common stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock or other capital stock;
     
  in the case of us, file or cause the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any shares of our common stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock or other capital stock, other than registration statements on Form S-8 filed with the SEC after the closing date of this offering; or
     
  enter into any swap or other agreement, arrangement, hedge or transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequences of ownership of our common stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock or other capital stock,

 

whether any transaction described in any of the foregoing bullet points is to be settled by delivery of our common stock or other capital stock, other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly announce an intention to do any of the foregoing.

 

There are no existing agreements between the Underwriter and any person who will execute a lock-up agreement in connection with this offering providing consent to the sale of shares prior to the expiration of the lock-up period. The lock up does not apply to the issuance of shares upon the exercise of rights to acquire shares of common stock pursuant to any existing stock option or the conversion of any of our preferred convertible stock.

 

Right of First Refusal

 

Until twelve (12) months from the commencement of sales of the Offering, the Underwriter shall have a right of first refusal to act as lead managing underwriter for any public underwriting, or private placement, of debt or equity (excluding (i) shares issued under any compensation or stock option plan approved by our stockholders, (ii) shares issued in payment of the consideration for an acquisition or as part of strategic partnerships and transactions; and (iii) conventional banking arrangements and commercial debt financing) of the Company or any subsidiary or successor of the company, with the Underwriter receiving the right to underwrite or place a number of the securities to be sold therein having an aggregate purchase price therein equal to a minimum of the aggregate purchase price of the shares in the Offering. If the Underwriter fails to accept in writing any such proposal for such public or private sale within ten (10) days after receipt of a written notice from the Company containing such proposal, then the Underwriter will have no claim or right with respect to any such sale contained in any such notice. If such proposal is modified in any material respect, the Company will adopt the same procedures as with respect to the original proposed public or private sale, and the Underwriter shall have the right of first refusal with respect to such revised proposal.

 

Determination of Offering Price

 

Upon the declaration of effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we will enter into an underwriting agreement with the Underwriter. The terms of the underwriting agreement provide that the obligations of the Underwriter are subject to certain conditions precedent, including the absence of any material adverse change in our business and the receipt of certain certificates, opinions and letters from us, our counsel and our auditors.

 

We have applied to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “AIXN”.

 

Prior to this offering, there has not been an active public market for our shares. The initial public offering price of the shares offered hereby was determined by negotiations between us and the Underwriter and will not necessarily reflect the market price of our common stock following this offering. The principal factors that were considered in determining the initial public offering price included:

 

  the information presented in this prospectus and otherwise available to the Underwriter;
  the history of, and prospects for, the industry in which we will compete;
  the ability of our management;
  the prospects for our future earnings;
  the present state of our development, results of operations and our current financial condition
  the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering; and
  the recent market prices of, and the demand for, publicly traded common stock of generally comparable companies.

 

We cannot assure you that the initial public offering price will correspond to the price at which our common stock will trade in the public market subsequent to this offering or that an active trading market for our common stock will develop and continue after this offering.

 

76
 

 

Stabilization

 

In connection with this offering the Underwriter may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions, penalty bids and passive market making in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

 

  Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.
  Over-allotment transactions involve sales by the Underwriter of the common stock in excess of the number of shares the Underwriter is obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by the Underwriter is not greater than the number of shares that it may purchase pursuant to the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in the over-allotment option. The Underwriter may close out any covered short position by either exercising its over-allotment option and/or purchasing shares in the open market.
  Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the Underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of our common stock available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. If the Underwriter sells more shares than could be covered by the over-allotment option, a naked short position, the position can only be closed out by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the Underwriter is concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.
  Penalty bids permit the Underwriter to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the common stock originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.
  In passive market making, market makers in the shares including the Underwriter or prospective underwriters may, subject to limitations, make bids for or purchases of our common stock until the time, if any, at which a stabilizing bid is made.

 

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the shares. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Capital Market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the web sites maintained by one or more of the Underwriter, or selling group members, if any, participating in this offering and the Underwriter may distribute prospectuses electronically. The Underwriter may agree to allocate a number of shares to selling group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the Underwriter and selling group members that will make internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations.

 

The Underwriter and their respective affiliates are full-service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The Underwriter has, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking services for us, for which it received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

 

In addition, in the ordinary course of the business activities, the Underwriter and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. These investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. The Underwriter and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

AiXin Life International, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AiXin Life International, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, in conformity with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

 

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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

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 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 financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Revenue Recognition – Identifying and evaluating the timing and amount of revenue recognition

 

Description of the Matter

 

As described in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company provides advertising services to its customers, and revenue related to these services were recognized over the applicable service period. The Company also purchases products from the same customer. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition, specifically the identification and evaluation of the timing and amount of revenue recognition, is a critical audit matter, involved judgment exercised by management in identifying and evaluating the timing and amount of advertising revenue recognition. Auditor judgement is involved in performing our audit procedures to evaluate whether the timing and amount of revenue recognition on advertising was appropriately stated.

 

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

 

Our audit procedures over determining the time period over which the advertising revenue is recognized involved, among others, evaluation of management’s assessment in regard to the timing and amount of advertising revenue recognition. We selected customer agreements and performed the following procedures:

 

  Obtained and read the customer agreements or contracts for each selected agreement.
  Evaluated and tested management’s identification of significant terms for completeness, including the identification of performance obligations.
  From the terms in the customer agreement, evaluated the appropriateness of management’s application of their accounting policies, in their determination of revenue recognition conclusions.

 

For the payment made to customer, we evaluated the application of the Company’s accounting policies in the context of applicable accounting standards. In addition, we tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s calculations of revenue and the associated timing and amount of revenue recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

 

/s/ KCCW Accountancy Corp.  

 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Aixin Life International, Inc. (the “Company” or “Aixin Life” or “we”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on December 30, 1987 under the name Mercari Communications Group, Ltd (“Mercari”). On February 2, 2017, Mr. Quanzhong Lin (Mr. Lin) purchased 7,380,352 shares of the Company’s common stock, 65.0% of its outstanding shares from China Concentric Capital Group for $300,000, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 21, 2016, which resulted in a change in control of our company.

 

On December 12, 2017, the Company issued 56,838,151 shares of common stock to Mr. Lin, the sole stockholder of AiXin (BVI) International Group Co., Ltd. a British Virgin Islands corporation (“AiXin BVI”), for his shares of AiXin BVI, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement.

 

As a result of the Share Exchange, AiXin BVI became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and the Company now owns all of the outstanding shares of HK AiXin International Group Co., Limited, a Hong Kong limited company (“AiXin HK”), which in turn owns all of the outstanding shares of Chengdu AiXinZhonghong Biological Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese limited company (“AiXinZhonghong”), which markets and sells premium-quality nutritional products in China.

 

AiXin BVI was incorporated on September 21, 2017 as a holding company and AiXin HK was established in Hong Kong on February 25, 2016 as an intermediate holding company. AiXinZhonghong was established in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on March 4, 2013, and on May 27, 2017, the local government of the PRC issued a certificate of approval regarding the foreign ownership of AiXinZhonghong by AiXin HK. Neither AiXin BVI nor AiXin HK had operations prior to December 12, 2017.

 

For accounting purposes, the acquisition of AiXin BVI was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and treated as a recapitalization of the Company effected by a share exchange, with AiXin BVI as the accounting acquirer. Since neither AiXin BVI nor AiXin HK had operations prior to December 12, 2017, the historical consolidated financial statements of AiXinZhonghong are now the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company. The assets and liabilities of AiXinZhonghong were brought forward at their book value and no goodwill was recognized.

 

Effective February 1, 2018, pursuant to Articles of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of Colorado, the Company changed its name to AiXin Life International., Inc (“Aixin Life”).

 

The Company, through its indirectly owned AiXinZhonghong subsidiary, mainly develops and distributes consumer products by offering a line of nutritional products. The Company sells the products through exhibition events, conferences, and person-to-person marketing. Beginning in 2019, the Company began to provide advertising services to clients who engaged the Company to help distribute their products. The Company’s business mainly focuses on a proactive approach to its customers such as hosting events for clients, which it believes is ideally suited to marketing its products because sales of nutrition products are strengthened by ongoing personal contact and support, coaching and education of its clients, as to the benefits of a healthy and active lifestyle.

The acquisition was completed in September 2021.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”). The functional currency of AiXinZhonghong, Aixin Shangyan Hotel and Aixintang Pharmacies is Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements are translated from RMB and presented in U.S. dollars (“USD”).

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its current wholly owned subsidiaries, AiXin HK, AiXinZhonghong, Aixin Shangyan Hotel and Aixintang Pharmacies. Intercompany transactions and accounts were eliminated in consolidation.

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation and had no effect on previously reported consolidated net income (loss) or accumulated deficit.

 

Covid – 19

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that infections caused by the corona virus disease of 2019 (“COVID-19”) had become pandemic. The Government of China has adopted various regulations and orders, including mandatory quarantines, limits on the number of people that may gather in one location, closing non-essential businesses and travel bans to limit the spread of the disease. Many of these measures have been relaxed due to the decrease in the prevalence of Covid-19 in China. However, since February 2022 to date, COVID-19 cases have increased again in many cities of China. There has been only a slight increase in the number of cases in Sichuan Province, the Province in which the Company is located, and the Company does not expect that the increase will impact the Company’s operations.

 

Financial impacts related to COVID-19, including the Company’s actions and costs incurred in response to the pandemic, were not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company has implemented procedures to promote employee and customer safety. These measures will not significantly increase its operating costs. However, the Company cannot predict with certainty what measures may be taken by its suppliers and customers and the impact these measures may have on its future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

F-9
 

 

Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, and the reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Restricted Cash

 

The restricted cash was for the temporary frozen of bank accounts held by Chengdu Aixintang Haichuan Pharmacy Co., Ltd. (“Aixintang Pharmacy”) and its branches by the court for a complaint against the Aixintang Pharmacy while Aixintang Pharmacy is the process of appeal (see Note 17 – litigation).

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company’s policy is to maintain an allowance for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the bad debt allowance was $213,787 and $148,520, respectively.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories mainly consists of health supplements, drugs, pharmaceutical and nutritional products, food and beverage, hotel supplies and consumables. Inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market, cost being determined on a moving weighted average method at the end of the month. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down inventories to market value, if lower. The Company recorded no inventory impairment for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330) - Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which requires that inventory within the scope of the guidance be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and impairment losses, if any. Major repairs and betterments that significantly extend original useful lives or improve productivity are capitalized and depreciated over the period benefited. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with 5% salvage value and estimated lives as follows:

 

Office furniture  5 years
Electronic equipment  2-3 years
Machinery  3 years
Leasehold improvements  3 years
Vehicles  5 years

 

F-10
 

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, but at least annually.

 

Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by it. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures.

 

Under ASC Topic 740, when tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statement of income.

 

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not take any uncertain positions that would necessitate recording a tax related liability.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company’s revenue recognition disclosure reflects its updated accounting policies that are affected by this new standard. The Company applied the “modified retrospective” transition method for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606. As revenues are and have been primarily from the delivery of products and the performance of services, and the Company has no significant post-delivery obligations, this did not result in a material recognition of revenue on the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements for the cumulative impact of applying this new standard. The Company made no adjustments to its previously-reported total revenues, as those periods continue to be presented in accordance with its historical accounting practices under Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.

 

F-11
 

 

Revenue from sale of goods under Topic 606 is recognized in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of the Company’s products and services to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

 

  executed contract(s) with customers that the Company believes is legally enforceable;

 

  identification of performance obligation in the respective contract;

 

  determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;

 

  allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and

 

  recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

The Company’s revenue recognition policies for its various operating segments are as follows:

 

Advertising and Products

 

Advertising Revenue

 

Commencing in the third quarter of 2019, AiXin Zhonghong began to provide advertising services to its clients. Advertising contracts are signed to establish the price and advertising services to be provided. Pursuant to the advertising contracts, the Company provides advertising and marketing services to its clients through exhibition events, conferences, and person-to-person marketing. The Company performs a credit assessment of the customer to assess the collectability of the contract price prior to entering into contracts.

 

Most of the advertisement contracts designated that the Company perform such advertising services for its clients through exhibition events, conferences, and person-to-person marketing during the contracted period, regardless of the number of such events. As such, the Company determined that the performance obligation is satisfied over time during the contracted period and revenue is recognized accordingly. Such advertising revenue amounted to $1,944,811 and $1,863,785 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

A smaller proportion of the Company’s advertising revenue is generated from services to its clients through exhibition events, conferences, and person-to-person marketing, and charges based on the number of promotional products sold. Such advertising revenue amounted to $0 and $6,558 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

All of the advertising revenue is subject to the PRC VAT of 6%. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials purchased in China.

 

Products Revenue

 

The Company’s revenue from sale of products is recognized when goods are delivered to the customer and no other obligation exists. The Company does not provide unconditional return or other concessions to the customer. The Company’s sales policy allows for the return of unopened products for cash after deducting certain service and transaction fees. As an alternative to the product return option, the customers have options of asking for an exchange for products with the same value.

 

Sales revenue of AiXin Zhonghong represents the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). All of the Company’s products sold in China are subject to the PRC VAT of 13% since April 1, 2019. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials purchased in China. The Company records VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in the financial statements. The VAT tax return is filed offsetting the payables against the receivables. Sales and purchases are recorded net of VAT collected and paid as the Company acts as an agent for the government.

 

F-12
 

 

Hotel

 

Hotel revenues are primarily derived from the rental of rooms, food and beverage sales and other ancillary goods and services, including but not limited to souvenir, parking and conference reservation. Each of these products and services represents a distinct performance obligation and, in exchange for these services, the Company receives fixed amounts based on published rates or negotiated contracts. Payment is due in full at the time when the services are rendered or the goods are provided. Room rental revenue is recognized on a daily basis when rooms are occupied. Food and beverage revenue and other goods and services revenue are recognized when they have been delivered or rendered to the guests as the respective performance obligations are satisfied. All of the hotel’s goods sold in China are subject to the PRC VAT of 6%. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials purchased in China.

 

Pharmacies

 

The Company’s retail drugstores (Aixintang Pharmacies) recognize revenue at the time the customer takes possession of the merchandise. For pharmacy sales, each prescription claim is its own arrangement with the customer and is a performance obligation. Aixintang Pharmacies generally receives payments from customers as it satisfies its performance obligations. The Company records a receivable when it has an unconditional right to receive payment and only the passage of time is required before payment is due. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of VAT. All of Aixintang Pharmacies’ products sold in China are eligible for the PRC VAT of 0% as it qualifies as a small businesses.

 

Unearned Revenue

 

The Company’s unearned revenue primarily consists of advances received from customers for the rental of hotel rooms prior to the delivery of service. The room rental services are delivered (normally within one year) based upon contract terms and customer demand.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The operations of the Company are in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.

 

The Company has cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC. Cash in state-owned banks is covered by insurance up to RMB 500,000 ($72,500) per bank. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes they are not exposed to any risks on its cash in these bank accounts.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had two major customers that accounted for over 10% of its total revenue.

 

Customer  Net sales for the
year ended
December 31, 2021
   % of total revenue

* Represented advertising revenues from this customer during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company also purchased inventory from this customer during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

Leases

 

The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) using the modified retrospective approach, electing the practical expedient that allows the Company not to restate prior to the adoption of the standard on January 1, 2019.

 

The Company applied the following practical expedients in the transition to the new standard allowed under ASC 842:

 

Practical Expedient   Description
Reassessment of expired or existing contracts   The Company elected not to reassess, at the application date, whether any expired or existing contracts contained leases, the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and the accounting for initial direct costs for any existing leases.
Use of hindsight   The Company elected to use hindsight in determining the lease term (that is, when considering options to extend or terminate the lease and to purchase the underlying asset) and in assessing impairment of right-to-use assets.
Reassessment of existing or expired land easements   The Company elected not to evaluate existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under ASC 840, as allowed under the transition practical expedient. Going forward, new or modified land easements will be evaluated under ASU No. 2016-02.
Separation of lease and non-lease components   Lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components are generally accounted for separately.
Short-term lease recognition exemption   The Company also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption and will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term less than 12 months.

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception under FASB ASC Topic 842, Right of Use Assets (“ROU”) and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. For this purpose, the Company considers only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement. As most of its leases do not provide an implicit rate, it uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The ROU assets include adjustments for prepayments and accrued lease payments. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made prior to commencement and is recorded net of any lease incentives received. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise such options.

 

F-14
 

 

ROU assets are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. ROU assets from operating and finance leases are subject to the impairment guidance in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, as ROU assets are long-lived nonfinancial assets.

 

ROU assets are tested for impairment individually or as part of an asset group if the cash flows related to the ROU asset are not independent from the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. An asset group is the unit of accounting for long-lived assets to be held and used, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. The Company recognized no impairment of ROU assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU and operating lease liabilities (current and non-current), on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Statement of Cash Flows

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based on the local currencies using the average translation rates. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accrued liabilities and accounts payable, approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and the current market rate of interest.

 

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

 

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follow:

 

  Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
  Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
  Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The functional currency of the Company is RMB. For financial reporting purposes, RMB is translated into USD as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period.

 

F-15
 

 

Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income”. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income. There was no significant fluctuation in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.

 

The Company uses FASB ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”. Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. Comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 consisted of net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Earnings per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

 

Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for options and warrants. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

 

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any potentially dilutive instruments.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically grants stock options, warrants and awards to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions as compensation for services rendered. The Company accounts for stock option, stock warrant and stock award grants to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the FASB where the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option, stock warrant and stock award grants to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB where the value of the stock compensation is determined based upon the measurement date at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the employees and non-employees, option, warrant and award grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

 

Segment Reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s chief operating decision maker organizes segments within the Company for making operating decisions assessing performance and allocating resources. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

 

The Company manages its business as three operating segments, advertising and products, pharmacies, and hotels, all of which are located in the PRC. All of its revenues are derived in the PRC. All long-lived assets are located in PRC.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its FV, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The guidance should be adopted on a prospective basis. As a smaller reporting company, the standard will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements presentation or disclosures.

 

F-17
 

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued 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”), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption and cannot adopt the guidance in an interim reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements presentation or disclosures.

 

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”). ASU 2021-04 provides guidance as to how an issuer should account for a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option (i.e., a warrant) that remains classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. An issuer should measure the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange and then apply a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). ASU 2021-04 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the guidance provided in ASU 2021-04 prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt ASU 2021-04 in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements presentation or disclosures.

 

The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

17. OPERATING CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

 

The Company’s sales, purchases and expenses are denominated in RMB and all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are also denominated in RMB. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies under the current law. In China, foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions. Remittances in currencies other than RMB may require certain supporting documentation to affect the remittance.

 

Litigation

 

The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of its business regarding merchandise sold, employment matters, and litigation regarding intellectual property rights.

 

In December 2020, Jian Yiao (the “Plaintiff”) filed a complaint against Chengdu Aixintang Haichuan Pharmacy Co., Ltd. (“Aixintang Pharmacy”, or the “Defendant”) in Zhangjiagang People’s Court in Jiangsu Province. The complaint alleges that Jian Yiao is entitled to $392,305 (RMB 2,500,000) from Aixintang Pharmacy for not fulfilling the contractual obligation of a purchase agreement entered in March 2020 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Aixintang Pharmacy claimed that the Purchase Agreement was falsely entered by an employee through forged documents, and that Aixintang Pharmacy did not enter the Purchase Agreement. The Court determined that Aixintang Pharmacy breached the Purchase Agreement by not delivering the products ordered and ordered Aixintang Pharmacy to pay $392,305 (RMB 2,500,000) to the Plaintiff. In December 2020, Aixintang Pharmacy filed a motion in the Jiangsu Suzhou Intermediate People’s Court against the determination reached from the first trial.

 

In February 2021, the judge in the Jiangsu Suzhou Intermediate People’s Court denied the Defendant’s motion and upheld the judgment from the first trial. In March 2021, Aixintang Pharmacy filed another motion to the Jiangsu High People’s Court on the basis that the Purchase Agreement was forged. In February 2022, Aixintang Pharmacy filed an appeal in Jiangsu High People’s Court against the judgment reached by Jiangsu Suzhou Intermediate People’s Court in February 2021. To date, this legal proceeding remains pending.

 

In November 2021, the Company and Mr. Quanzhong Lin agreed that Mr. Lin shall assume any losses arising from this legal proceeding. As such, the Company did not accrue contingent losses from this legal proceeding as of December 31, 2021.

 

The Company believes that current pending litigation will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

AIXIN LIFE INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Aixin Life International, Inc. (the “Company” or “Aixin Life” or “we”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on December 30, 1987 under the name Mercari Communications Group, Ltd (“Mercari”). On February 2, 2017, Mr. Quanzhong Lin (Mr. Lin) purchased 7,380,352 shares of the Company’s common stock, 65.0% of its outstanding shares from China Concentric Capital Group for $300,000, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 21, 2016, which resulted in a change in control of our company.

 

On December 12, 2017, the Company issued 56,838,151 shares of common stock to Mr. Lin, the sole stockholder of AiXin (BVI) International Group Co., Ltd. a British Virgin Islands corporation (“AiXin BVI”), for his shares of AiXin BVI, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement.

 

As a result of the Share Exchange, AiXin BVI became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and the Company now owns all of the outstanding shares of HK AiXin International Group Co., Limited, a Hong Kong limited company (“AiXin HK”), which in turn owns all of the outstanding shares of Chengdu AiXinZhonghong Biological Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese limited company (“AiXinZhonghong”), which markets and sells premium-quality nutritional products in China.

 

AiXin BVI was incorporated on September 21, 2017 as a holding company and AiXin HK was established in Hong Kong on February 25, 2016 as an intermediate holding company. AiXinZhonghong was established in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on March 4, 2013, and on May 27, 2017, the local government of the PRC issued a certificate of approval regarding the foreign ownership of AiXinZhonghong by AiXin HK. Neither AiXin BVI nor AiXin HK had operations prior to December 12, 2017.

 

For accounting purposes, the acquisition of AiXin BVI was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and treated as a recapitalization of the Company effected by a share exchange, with AiXin BVI as the accounting acquirer. Since neither AiXin BVI nor AiXin HK had operations prior to December 12, 2017, the historical consolidated financial statements of AiXinZhonghong are now the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company. The assets and liabilities of AiXinZhonghong were brought forward at their book value and no goodwill was recognized.

 

Effective February 1, 2018, the Company changed its name to AiXin Life International, Inc. (“Aixin Life”).

 

The Company, through its indirectly owned AiXinZhonghong subsidiary, develops and distributes consumer products by offering a line of nutritional products. The Company sells the products through exhibition events, conferences, and person-to-person marketing. Beginning in 2019, the Company began to provide advertising services to clients who engaged the Company to help distribute their products. The Company’s business mainly focuses on a proactive approach to its customers such as hosting events for clients, which it believes is ideally suited to marketing its products because sales of nutrition products are strengthened by ongoing personal contact and support, coaching and education of its clients, as to the benefits of a healthy and active lifestyle.

 

On May 25, 2021, AiXin HK entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement (the “Hotel Purchase Agreement”) with Chengdu Aixin Shangyan Hotel Management Co., Ltd (“Aixin Shangyan Hotel”), and its two shareholders Quanzhong Lin and Yirong Shen (“Transferor”). Pursuant to the Hotel Purchase Agreement, Aixin Life purchased 100% ownership of Aixin Shangyan Hotel from Transferor. Eighty percent of the equity of Aixin Shangyan Hotel was owned by Mr. Lin, and the remaining balance was owned by Ms. Shen. Under the terms of the Hotel Purchase Agreement, Aixin Life purchased all of the outstanding equity of Aixin Shangyan Hotel for a purchase price of RMB 7,598,887, or approximately $1.16 million (the “Transfer Price”). The Transfer Price will be reduced by an amount equal to any amounts paid or distributed by Aixin Shangyan Hotel to the Transferor after December 31, 2020 and will be increased by an amount equal to any amounts contributed to Aixin Shangyan Hotel by the Transferor after December 31, 2020. The acquisition was completed in July 2021.

On June 2, 2021, AiXin HK entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement (the “Pharmacies Purchase Agreement”) with Chengdu Aixintang Haichuan Pharmacy Co., Ltd. (formerly Chengdu Aixintang Pharmacy Co., Ltd.) and certain affiliated entities, each of which operates a pharmacy (together, “Aixintang Pharmacies”) and its three shareholders, Quanzhong Lin, Ting Li and Xiao Ling Li (“Transferor”). Mr. Lin owned in excess of 95% of the outstanding equity the Aixintang Pharmacies. The remaining equity interest was owned by Ting Li and Xiao Ling Li. Pursuant to the Pharmacies Purchase Agreement, AiXin HK purchased all of the outstanding equity of Aixintang Pharmacies for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 34,635,845, or approximately US$5.31 million (the “Transfer Price”). The Transfer Price will be reduced by an amount equal to any amounts paid or distributed by any of the Aixintang Pharmacies to the Transferor after December 31, 2020 and increased by an amount contributed to any of the Aixintang Pharmacies by the Transferor after such date. The acquisition was completed in September 2021.

 

On July 19, 2022, HK Aixin entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement with Yunnan Shengshengyuan Technology Co., Ltd, and Yun Chen (the “Sellers”), the shareholders of Yunnan Runcangsheng Technology Company Ltd. (“Runcangsheng”). Yunnan Shengshengyuan owns in excess of 95% of the outstanding equity of Runcangsheng. The remaining equity interest is owned by Yun Chen. Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, HK Aixin agreed to purchase all of the outstanding equity of Runcangsheng for an aggregate purchase price of $4,418,095 (RMB 31,557,820), adjusted by $116,802 the amount equal to the initial net worth minus the audited net worth. In addition to transferring their respective equity interest in Runcangsheng by the Sellers, both Sellers agree to forgive any loans Runcangsheng due to them. The acquisition was completed on September 30, 2022 (see Note 17).

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”). The functional currency of AiXinZhonghong, Aixin Shangyan Hotel, Aixintang Pharmacies and Runcangsheng is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements are translated from RMB and presented in U.S. dollars (“USD”).

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its current wholly owned subsidiaries, AiXin HK, AiXinZhonghong, Aixin Shangyan Hotel, Aixintang Pharmacies and Runcangsheng. Intercompany transactions and accounts were eliminated in consolidation.

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. Therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.

 

The balance sheets and certain comparative information as of December 31, 2021 are derived from the audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Covid – 19; The Invasion of Ukraine

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that infections caused by the corona virus disease of 2019 (“COVID-19”) had become pandemic. In furtherance of its zero tolerance policy, the Government of China has adopted various regulations and orders, including mandatory quarantines, limits on the number of people that may gather in one location, closing non-essential businesses and travel bans to limit the spread of the disease. Many of these measures have been relaxed from time to time in various localities. However, beginning in the second half of 2021 and continuing to date, the rate of COVID-19 cases has fluctuated in China and has increased in many provinces and cities including in Sichuan Province, where the Company is located. As a result of such increases there have been periodic short-term lockdowns and restrictions on travel in Sichuan Province. All of the Company’s operations, in particular its direct sales business and hotel, have been adversely impacted by the travel and work restrictions imposed on a temporary basis in China and Chengdu to limit the spread of COVID-19.

 

F-31
 

 

In response to COVID-19, the Company has implemented procedures to promote employee and customer safety. These measures will not significantly increase its operating costs. However, the Company cannot predict with certainty what measures may be taken by its suppliers and customers and the impact these measures may have on its future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation had an immediate impact on the global economy resulting in higher prices for oil and other commodities. The United States, United Kingdom, European Union and other countries responded to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by imposing various economic sanctions and bans. Russia has responded with its own retaliatory measures. These measures have disrupted financial and economic markets. The global impact of these measures is continually evolving and cannot be predicted with certainty and there is no assurance that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and responses thereto will not further disrupt the global economy and financial markets.

 

While the invasion of Ukraine and responses thereto have not interrupted the Company’s operations, these or future developments resulting from the invasion of Ukraine could make it difficult to access debt and equity capital on attractive terms, if at all, and impact the Company’s ability to fund business activities, including proposed acquisitions.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, and the reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation and had no effect on previously reported consolidated net income (loss) or accumulated deficit.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Restricted Cash

 

The restricted cash reflects the temporary freeze of bank accounts of Aixintang Pharmacy Co., Ltd. (“Aixintang Pharmacy”) and its branches by the court during the appeal of a judgement against Aixintang Pharmacy (see Note 16 – litigation).

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company’s policy is to maintain an allowance for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the bad debt allowance was $483,346 and $213,787, respectively.

 

F-32
 

 

Inventories

 

Inventories mainly consists of health supplements, drugs, pharmaceutical and nutritional products, food and beverage, hotel supplies and consumables. Inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market, cost being determined on a moving weighted average method at the end of the month. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down inventories to market value, if lower. Management periodically evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine if a valuation allowance is required. The balance of reserve for inventory valuation as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $19,641 and $0, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and impairment losses, if any. Major repairs and betterments that significantly extend original useful lives or improve productivity are capitalized and depreciated over the period benefited. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with 5% salvage value and estimated lives as follows:

 

Office furniture     5 years  
Electronic equipment     2-3 years  
Machinery     3 years  
Leasehold improvements     3 years  
Vehicles     5 years  

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, but at least annually.

 

Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by it. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.

 

Goodwill

 

The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. In testing goodwill for impairment, the Company may elect to utilize a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment indicates that goodwill impairment is more likely than not, the Company performs a two-step impairment test. The Company tests goodwill for impairment under the two-step impairment test by first comparing the book value of net assets to the fair value of the reporting units. If the fair value is determined to be less than the book value or qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, a second step is performed to compute the amount of impairment as the difference between the estimated fair value of goodwill and the carrying value. The Company estimates the fair value of the reporting units using discounted cash flows. Forecasts of future cash flows are based on our best estimate of future net sales and operating expenses, based primarily on expected category expansion, pricing, market segment share, and general economic conditions.

 

The Company completed the required testing of goodwill for impairment as of September 30, 2022, and determined that goodwill was impaired because of the current financial condition of the Company and the Company’s inability to generate future operating income without substantial sales volume increases, which are highly uncertain. Furthermore, the Company anticipates future cash flows indicate that the recoverability of goodwill is not reasonably assured.

 

The goodwill write-down was reflected as a impairment loss, $3,823,770, in non-operating expenses in the statement of operation and comprehensive income(loss).

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

F-33
 

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures.

 

Under ASC Topic 740, when tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statement of income.

 

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not take any uncertain positions that would necessitate recording a tax related liability.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company’s revenue recognition disclosure reflects its updated accounting policies that are affected by this new standard. The Company applied the “modified retrospective” transition method for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606. As revenues are and have been primarily from the delivery of products and the performance of services, and the Company has no significant post-delivery obligations, this did not result in a material recognition of revenue on the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements for the cumulative impact of applying this new standard. The Company made no adjustments to its previously-reported total revenues, as those periods continue to be presented in accordance with its historical accounting practices under Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.

 

Revenue from sale of goods under Topic 606 is recognized in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of the Company’s products and services to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

 

  executed contract(s) with customers that the Company believes is legally enforceable;
     
  identification of performance obligation in the respective contract;
     
  determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
     
  allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
     
  recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

F-34
 

 

The Company’s revenue recognition policies for its various operating segments are as follows:

 

Advertising and Products

 

Advertising Revenue

 

Commencing in the third quarter of 2019, AiXin Zhonghong began to provide advertising services to its clients. Advertising contracts are signed to establish the price and advertising services to be provided. Pursuant to the advertising contracts, the Company provides advertising and marketing services to its clients through exhibition events, conferences, and person-to-person marketing. The Company performs a credit assessment of the customer to assess the collectability of the contract price prior to entering into contracts.

 

Most of the advertisement contracts designated that the Company perform such advertising services for its clients through exhibition events, conferences, and person-to-person marketing during the contracted period, regardless of the number of such events. As such, the Company determined that the performance obligation is satisfied over time during the contracted period and revenue is recognized accordingly. Such advertising revenue amounted to $0 and $445,215 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Such advertising revenue amounted to $0 and $1,742,896 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

All of the advertising revenue is subject to the PRC VAT of 6%. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials purchased in China.

 

Product Revenue

 

The Company’s revenue from sale of products is recognized when goods are delivered to the customer and no other obligation exists. The Company does not provide unconditional return or other concessions to the customer. The Company’s sales policy allows for the return of unopened products for cash after deducting certain service and transaction fees. As an alternative to the product return option, the customers have options of asking for an exchange for products with the same value.

 

Sales revenue of AiXin Zhonghong represents the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). All of the Company’s products sold in China are subject to the PRC VAT of 13% since April 1, 2019. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials purchased in China. The Company records VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in the financial statements. The VAT tax return is filed offsetting the payables against the receivables. Sales and purchases are recorded net of VAT collected and paid as the Company acts as an agent for the government.

 

Hotel

 

Hotel revenues are primarily derived from the rental of rooms, food and beverage sales and other ancillary goods and services, including but not limited to souvenir, parking and conference reservation. Each of these products and services represents a distinct performance obligation and, in exchange for these services, the Company receives fixed amounts based on published rates or negotiated contracts. Payment is due in full at the time when the services are rendered or the goods are provided. Room rental revenue is recognized on a daily basis when rooms are occupied. Food and beverage revenue and other goods and services revenue are recognized when they have been delivered or rendered to the guests as the respective performance obligations are satisfied. All of the hotel’s goods sold in China are subject to the PRC VAT of 6%. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials purchased in China.

 

Pharmacies

 

The Company’s retail drugstores (Aixintang Pharmacies) recognize revenue at the time the customer takes possession of the merchandise. For pharmacy sales, each prescription claim is its own arrangement with the customer and is a performance obligation. Aixintang Pharmacies generally receives payments from customers as it satisfies its performance obligations. The Company records a receivable when it has an unconditional right to receive payment and only the passage of time is required before payment is due. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of VAT. All of Aixintang Pharmacies’ products sold in China are eligible for the PRC VAT of 0% as it qualifies as a small business.

 

F-35
 

 

Manufacture and Sale

 

The Company’s new subsidiary Runcangsheng recognizes revenue at the time products are shipped as this satisfies its performance obligations. The Company records a receivable for the sales when it has an unconditional right to receive payment and only the passage of time is required before payment is due. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). All of the Company’s products sold in China are subject to the PRC VAT of 13% unless it is a qualified small subject to exemption.

 

Unearned Revenue

 

The Company’s unearned revenue primarily consists of advances received from customers for the rental of hotel rooms prior to the delivery of service. The room rental services are delivered (normally within one year) based upon contract terms and customer demand.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The operations of the Company are in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.

 

The Company has cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC. Cash in state-owned banks is covered by insurance up to RMB 500,000 ($72,500) per bank. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes they are not exposed to any risks on its cash in these bank accounts.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had no customer that accounted for over 10% of its total revenue.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had two major customers that accounted for over 10% of its total revenue.

 

Customer  Total revenue for the three months ended

(2) The Company purchased inventory from this supplier, Runcansheng, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company acquired all of the outstanding equity of Runcangsheng on September 30, 2022 (see Note 17).

 

Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception under FASB ASC Topic 842, Right of Use Assets (“ROU”) and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. For this purpose, the Company considers only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement. As most of its leases do not provide an implicit rate, it uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The ROU assets include adjustments for prepayments and accrued lease payments. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made prior to commencement and is recorded net of any lease incentives received. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise such options.

 

ROU assets are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. ROU assets from operating and finance leases are subject to the impairment guidance in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, as ROU assets are long-lived nonfinancial assets.

 

ROU assets are tested for impairment individually or as part of an asset group if the cash flows related to the ROU asset are not independent from the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. An asset group is the unit of accounting for long-lived assets to be held and used, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. The Company recognized no impairment of ROU assets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU and operating lease liabilities (current and non-current), on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Statement of Cash Flows

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based on the local currencies using the average translation rates. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

F-37
 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accrued liabilities and accounts payable, approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and the current market rate of interest.

 

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

 

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follow:

 

  Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
  Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
  Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The functional currency of the Company is RMB. For financial reporting purposes, RMB is translated into USD as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period.

 

Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income”. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income. There was no significant fluctuation in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.

 

The Company uses FASB ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”. Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. Comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 consisted of net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Earnings per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

 

Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for options and warrants. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

 

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any potentially dilutive instruments.

 

F-38
 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically grants stock options, warrants and stock awards to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions as compensation for services rendered. The Company accounts for stock option, stock warrant and stock award grants to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the FASB where the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option, stock warrant and stock award grants to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB where the value of the stock compensation is determined based upon the measurement date at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the employees and non-employees, option, warrant and award grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

 

Segment Reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s chief operating decision maker organizes segments within the Company for making operating decisions assessing performance and allocating resources. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

 

The Company manages its business as four operating segments, advertising and products, pharmacies, hotels, and manufacture and sale, all of which are located in the PRC. All of its revenues are derived in the PRC. All long-lived assets are located in PRC.

 

The following table shows the Company’s operations by business segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Revenues and expenses for the Pharmacies and Hotel segments commenced as of the respective dates of the completion of their acquisitions:

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

F-40
 

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The guidance should be adopted on a prospective basis. As a smaller reporting company, the standard will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements presentation or disclosures.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued 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”), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption and cannot adopt the guidance in an interim reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements presentation or disclosures.

 

The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

16. OPERATING CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe.

The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

 

The Company’s sales, purchases and expenses are denominated in RMB and all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are also denominated in RMB. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies under the current law. In China, foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions. Remittances in currencies other than RMB may require certain supporting documentation to affect the remittance.

 

Litigation

 

The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of its business regarding merchandise sold, employment matters, and litigation regarding intellectual property rights.

 

In December 2020, Jian Yiao (the “Plaintiff”) filed a complaint against Chengdu Aixintang Haichuan Pharmacy Co., Ltd. (“Aixintang Pharmacy”, or the “Defendant”) in Zhangjiagang People’s Court in Jiangsu Province. The complaint alleges that Jian Yiao is entitled to $392,305 (RMB 2,500,000) from Aixintang Pharmacy for not fulfilling the contractual obligation of a purchase agreement entered in March 2020 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Aixintang Pharmacy claimed that the Purchase Agreement was falsely entered by an employee through forged documents, and that Aixintang Pharmacy did not enter the Purchase Agreement. The Court determined that Aixintang Pharmacy breached the Purchase Agreement by not delivering the products ordered and ordered Aixintang Pharmacy to pay $392,305 (RMB 2,500,000) to the Plaintiff. In December 2020, Aixintang Pharmacy filed a motion in the Jiangsu Suzhou Intermediate People’s Court against the determination reached from the first trial.

 

In February 2021, the judge in the Jiangsu Suzhou Intermediate People’s Court denied the Defendant’s motion and upheld the judgment from the first trial. In March 2021, Aixintang Pharmacy filed another motion to the Jiangsu High People’s Court on the basis that the Purchase Agreement was forged. In February 2022, Aixintang Pharmacy filed an appeal in Jiangsu High People’s Court against the judgment reached by Jiangsu Suzhou Intermediate People’s Court in February 2021. To date, this legal proceeding remains pending.

 

In November 2021, the Company and Mr. Quanzhong Lin agreed that Mr. Lin shall assume any losses arising from this legal proceeding. As such, the Company did not accrue contingent losses from this legal proceeding as of September 30, 2022.

 

The Company believes that current pending litigation will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Yunnan Runcangsheng Technology Company Limited (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, in conformity with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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.

The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

YUNNAN RUNCANGSHENG TECHNOLOGY COMPANY LIMITED

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Yunnan Runcangsheng Technology Company Limited (the “Company” or “Runcangsheng”), was incorporated on April 17, 2020 in Kunming City, Yunnan Province in China. The Company is engaged in biotechnology research and consultation, and the manufacturing and sales of health supplement products.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”). The functional currency of the Company is Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The accompanying financial statements are translated from RMB and presented in U.S. dollars (“USD”).

 

Covid – 19

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that infections caused by the corona virus disease of 2019 (“COVID-19”) had become pandemic. The Government of China has adopted various regulations and orders, including mandatory quarantines, limits on the number of people that may gather in one location, closing non-essential businesses, and travel bans to limit the spread of the disease. Many of these measures have been relaxed due to the decrease in the prevalence of Covid-19 in China. To date, the ongoing operations of the Company have not been materially adversely affected by the measures taken to limit the spread of the disease in China.

 

Financial impacts related to COVID-19, including the Company’s actions and costs incurred in response to the pandemic, were not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company has implemented procedures to promote employee and customer safety. These measures will not significantly increase its operating costs.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, and the reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable mainly consist of amounts due from customers. The Company’s policy is to maintain an allowance for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, allowance for doubtful accounts was $178,881 and $0, respectively.

 

F-55
 

 

Advance to Suppliers

 

The Company makes advance payment to certain vendors for purchase of raw material, tools and equipment for production. The advances are interest-free and unsecured. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had advance to suppliers of $30,232 and $8,278 respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the weighted average cost method. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down inventories to market value, if lower. The Company recorded no inventory impairment for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and impairment losses, if any. Major repairs and betterments that significantly extend original useful lives or improve productivity are capitalized and depreciated over the period benefited. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with 5% salvage value and estimated lives as follows:

 

Office equipment and furniture 1~5 years
Machinery and equipment 10 years
Leasehold improvement 5 years
Vehicle 5 years

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, but at least annually.

 

Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by it. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there was no significant impairment of its long-lived assets.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures.

 

F-56
 

 

Under ASC Topic 740, when tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations.

 

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not take any uncertain positions that would necessitate recording a tax related liability.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.

 

Revenue from sale of goods under Topic 606 is recognized in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of the Company’s products and services to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

 

  executed contract(s) with customers that the Company believes is legally enforceable;
     
  identification of performance obligation in the respective contract;
     
  determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
     
  allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
     
  recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

The Company recognizes revenue at the time the products are shipped as it satisfies its performance obligations. The Company records a receivable for the sales when it has an unconditional right to receive payment and only the passage of time is required before payment is due.

 

Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). All of the Company’s products sold in China are subject to the PRC VAT of 13%. The VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on inventories and products purchased in China. The Company records VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in the financial statements. The VAT tax return is filed offsetting the payables against the receivables. Sales and purchases are recorded net of VAT collected and paid as the Company acts as an agent for the government.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the cost of products manufactured during the reporting period, mainly including direct labor, raw material and overhead costs. Reserve for inventory allowance due to lower of cost or market is also recorded in cost of goods sold.

 

F-57
 

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses. These costs primarily consist of cost of materials used, salaries paid to the Company’s development team, and fees paid to third parties. Research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $53,696 and $4,129, respectively.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The operations of the Company are in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.

 

The Company has cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC. Cash in state-owned banks is covered by insurance up to RMB 500,000 ($72,500) per bank. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes they are not exposed to any risks on its cash in these bank accounts.

 

Leases

 

ASC Topic 842, “Leases,” requires recognition of leases on the balance sheets as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use underlying assets for the lease terms and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value and future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The Company’s future minimum based payments used to determine the Company’s lease liabilities mainly include minimum based rent payments. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

 

Operating lease cost is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Variable lease payments for common area maintenance, property taxes and other operating expenses are recognized as expense in the period when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur.

 

Related Parties

 

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all significant related party transactions.

 

Statement of Cash Flows

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based on the local currencies using the average translation rates. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accrued liabilities and accounts payable, approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and the current market rate of interest.

 

F-58
 

 

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

 

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follow:

 

  Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
  Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
  Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The functional currency of the Company is RMB. For financial reporting purposes, RMB is translated into USD as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period.

 

Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income.” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income. There was no significant fluctuation in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.

 

The Company uses FASB ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”. Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. Comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 consisted of net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Earnings per Share

 

The Company is a limited Company (“LC”) formed under the laws of the PRC. Like limited liability company in the US, limited company in the PRC do not issue shares to the owners. The owners however, are called shareholders. Ownership interest is determined in proportion to capital contributed. Accordingly, earnings per share data is not presented.

 

Segment Reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s chief operating decision maker organizes segments within the Company for making operating decisions assessing performance and allocating resources. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

 

Management determined the Company’s operations constitute a single reportable segment in accordance with ASC 280. The Company operates exclusively in one business and industry segment: health supplemental products manufacture and sale.

 

F-59
 

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early application is permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its financial statements.

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply the elections as applicable as changes in the market occur.

13. STATUTORY RESERVES

 

Pursuant to the PRC corporate law, the Company is now only required to maintain one statutory reserve by appropriating from its after-tax profit before declaration or payment of dividends. The statutory reserve represents restricted retained earnings.

 

Surplus reserve fund

 

The Company is now required to transfer 10% of its net income, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the Company’s registered capital. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company made $0 to its statutory reserve fund.

 

The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered capital.

 

Common welfare fund

 

Common welfare fund is a voluntary fund to which the Company can elect to transfer 5% to 10% of its net income, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations. The Company did not make any contribution to this fund during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

This fund can only be utilized on capital items for the collective benefit of the Company’s employees, such as construction of dormitories, cafeteria facilities, and other staff welfare facilities. This fund is non-distributable other than upon liquidation.

 

14. OPERATING CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

 

The Company’s sales, purchases and expenses are denominated in RMB and all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are also denominated in RMB. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies under the current law. In China, foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions. Remittances in currencies other than RMB may require certain supporting documentation to affect the remittance.

 

The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of its business regarding merchandise sold, employment matters, and litigation regarding intellectual property rights.

 

The Company believes that current pending litigation will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On December 1, 2021, the Company and Luquan Yizu Miaozu Autonomous County People’s Government (“the People’s Government”) entered into a cooperation agreement for a cooperation term of 10 years. According to the agreement, the People’s Government will contribute RMB 8,000,000 ($1,194,400) as a one-time payment to the Company for supporting the Company on deep processing of Chinese herbs in exchange for the Company’s proportionate equity interest. The Company can retain the contributed amount at the end of the cooperation term if it passes the performance assessment by People’s Government; otherwise, the Company should return the full proceeds they received plus 20% penalty. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received $978,647 from the People’s Government. Based on management’s assessment, the Company does not expect to receive the remaining funds, and determined that they will return the $978,647 to the People Government.

 

On July 19, 2022, Hong Kong Aixin International Group Co., Limited (“HK Aixin”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Aixin Life International, Inc. (“Aixin Life”), entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”) with Yunnan Shengshengyuan Technology Co., Ltd and Yun Chen (collectively “the Sellers”), who own 95% and 5% equity interest of Runcangsheng, respectively.

 

Under the terms of the Transfer Agreement, HK Aixin agreed to purchase all of the outstanding equity interest of Runcangsheng for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 45,082,600 or US$6.68 million based on an exchange rate of RMB / US$ 6.75 yuan per dollar on July 19, 2022. In addition to transferring their respective equity interest in Runcangsheng by the Sellers, both Sellers agree to forgive any loans Runcangsheng due to them.

 

If the audited net worth of the Company as of December 31, 2021 is less than 97% of the initial net worth (net worth prior to the audit that were used to determine the equity transfer price), then the above purchase price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the initial net worth minus the audited net worth.

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date which the financial statements were available to be issued. All subsequent events requiring recognition as of December 31, 2021 have been incorporated into these financial statements and there are no subsequent events that require disclosure in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events.”

YUNNAN RUNCANGSHENG TECHNOLOGY COMPANY LIMITED

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Yunnan Runcangsheng Technology Company Limited (the “Company” or “Runcangsheng”), was incorporated on April 17, 2020 in Kunming City, Yunnan Province in China. The Company is engaged in biotechnology research and consultation, and the manufacturing and sales of health supplement products.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”). The functional currency of the Company is Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The accompanying financial statements are translated from RMB and presented in U.S. dollars (“USD”).

 

Covid - 19

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that infections caused by the corona virus disease of 2019 (“COVID-19”) had become pandemic. The Government of China has adopted various regulations and orders, including mandatory quarantines, limits on the number of people that may gather in one location, closing non-essential businesses, and travel bans to limit the spread of the disease. Many of these measures have been relaxed due to the decrease in the prevalence of Covid-19 in China. To date, the ongoing operations of the Company have not been materially adversely affected by the measures taken to limit the spread of the disease in China.

 

Financial impacts related to COVID-19, including the Company’s actions and costs incurred in response to the pandemic, were not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company has implemented procedures to promote employee and customer safety. These measures will not significantly increase its operating costs.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, and the reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable mainly consist of amounts due from customers. The Company’s policy is to maintain an allowance for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, allowance for doubtful accounts was $239,874 and $178,881, respectively.

 

F-70
 

 

Advance to Suppliers

 

The Company makes advance payment to certain vendors for purchase of raw material, tools and equipment for production. The advances are interest-free and unsecured. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had advance to suppliers of $112,684 and $30,232 respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the weighted average cost method. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down inventories to market value, if lower. The Company recorded no inventory impairment for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and impairment losses, if any. Major repairs and betterments that significantly extend original useful lives or improve productivity are capitalized and depreciated over the period benefited. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with 5% salvage value and estimated lives as follows:

 

Office equipment and furniture   1~5 years
Machinery and equipment   10 years
Leasehold improvement   5 years
Vehicle   5 years

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, but at least annually.

 

Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by it. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was no significant impairment of its long-lived assets.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures.

 

F-71
 

 

Under ASC Topic 740, when tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations.

 

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not take any uncertain positions that would necessitate recording a tax related liability.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.

 

Revenue from sale of goods under Topic 606 is recognized in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of the Company’s products and services to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

 

  executed contract(s) with customers that the Company believes is legally enforceable;
     
  identification of performance obligation in the respective contract;
     
  determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
     
  allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
     
  recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

The Company recognizes revenue at the time the products are shipped as it satisfies its performance obligations. The Company records a receivable for the sales when it has an unconditional right to receive payment and only the passage of time is required before payment is due.

 

Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). All of the Company’s products sold in China are subject to the PRC VAT of 13%. The VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on inventories and products purchased in China. The Company records VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in the financial statements. The VAT tax return is filed offsetting the payables against the receivables. Sales and purchases are recorded net of VAT collected and paid as the Company acts as an agent for the government.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the cost of products manufactured during the reporting period, mainly including direct labor, raw material and overhead costs. Reserve for inventory allowance due to lower of cost or market is also recorded in cost of goods sold.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses. These costs primarily consist of cost of materials used, salaries paid to the Company’s development team, and fees paid to third parties. Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were $45,092 and $15,903, respectively.

 

F-72
 

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The operations of the Company are in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.

 

The Company has cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC. Cash in state-owned banks is covered by insurance up to RMB 500,000 ($74,650) per bank. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes they are not exposed to any risks on its cash in these bank accounts.

 

Leases

 

ASC Topic 842 “Leases,” requires recognition of leases on the balance sheets as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use underlying assets for the lease terms and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value and future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The Company’s future minimum based payments used to determine the Company’s lease liabilities mainly include minimum based rent payments. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

 

Operating lease cost is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Variable lease payments for common area maintenance, property taxes and other operating expenses are recognized as expense in the period when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur.

 

Related Parties

 

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all significant related party transactions.

 

Statement of Cash Flows

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based on the local currencies using the average translation rates. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accrued liabilities and accounts payable, approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and the current market rate of interest.

 

F-73
 

 

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

 

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follow:

 

  Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
  Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
  Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The functional currency of the Company is RMB. For financial reporting purposes, RMB is translated into USD as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period.

 

Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income.” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income. There was no significant fluctuation in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.

 

The Company uses FASB ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”. Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. Comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 consisted of net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Earnings per Share

 

The Company is a limited Company (“LC”) formed under the laws of the PRC. Like limited liability company in the US, limited company in the PRC do not issue shares to the owners. The owners however, are called shareholders. Ownership interest is determined in proportion to capital contributed. Accordingly, earnings per share data is not presented.

 

Segment Reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s chief operating decision maker organizes segments within the Company for making operating decisions assessing performance and allocating resources. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

 

Management determined the Company’s operations constitute a single reportable segment in accordance with ASC 280. The Company operates exclusively in one business and industry segment: health supplemental products manufacture and sale.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early application is permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its financial statements.

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply the elections as applicable as changes in the market occur.

The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of its business regarding merchandise sold, employment matters, and litigation regarding intellectual property rights.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - INTRODUCTION

 

On July 19, 2022, HK Aixin International Group Co., Limited (“HK Aixin”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Aixin Life International, Inc (“Aixin Life” or the “Company”) entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”) with Yunnan Shengshengyuan Technology Co., Ltd, and Yun Chen (the “Sellers”), the shareholders of Yunnan Runcangsheng Technology Company Ltd. (“Yunnan Runcangsheng”). Yunnan Shengshengyuan owns in excess of 95% of the outstanding equity the Yunnan Runcangsheng. The remaining equity interest is owned by Yun Chen. Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, HK Aixin agreed to purchase all of the outstanding equity of Yunnan Runcangsheng for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 45,082,600, or approximately US$6.3 million (“Purchase Price”). In contemplation of the transaction, Yunnan Runcangsheng will prepare a balance sheet based upon its books and records as of December 31, 2021. Consummation of the acquisition is subject to the completion of an audit of the financial statements of Yunnan Runcangsheng showing that the net worth of Yunnan Runcangsheng as of December 31, 2021, is no less than RMB 1,530,000. In addition, if the net worth of Yunnan Runcangsheng as of December 31, 2021, as shown by the audit is less than 97% of the net worth on the balance sheet as of that date initially prepared by Yunnan Runcangsheng, the purchase price shall be reduced by the amount of the deficiency (“Adjusted Purchase Price”). In addition to transferring their respective equity interest in Yunnan Runcangsheng by the Sellers, both Sellers agree to forgive any loans Yunnan Runcangsheng due to them. The Transfer Agreement also provides that Aixin Life will be the beneficiary of any profit generated by Yunnan Runcangsheng commencing January 1, 2022, and bear any loss it incurs from and after such date.

 

 

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 combines the historical balance sheets of Aixin Life and Yunnan Runcangsheng as if the Transactions had occurred on June 30, 2022. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021 combine the historical consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss of Aixin Life and Yunnan Runcangsheng, and have been prepared as if the Transactions had closed on January 1, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have also been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the Transactions, factually supportable and expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

 

The preliminary unaudited pro forma information is presented solely for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations or financial position that might have been achieved for the periods or dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of the consolidated company.

{a} Forgiveness of $402,397 outstanding balance of due to related parties at December 31, 2021 by the Sellers.

 

{b} Represents the Adjusted Purchase Price to be paid by Aixin Life. The Adjusted Purchase Price is based on the Purchase Price of $4,418,095, decreased by $116,802 resulting from the audited net worth of Yunnan Runcangsheng as of December 31, 2021, being less than 97% of the net worth on the balance sheet as of that date initially prepared by Yunnan Runcangsheng.

 

{c} Represents the goodwill arising from the Adjusted Purchase Price exceeded the net assets of Yunnan Runcangsheng.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

 

The Colorado Business Corporations Act provides that a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that his act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer and his breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. The Articles of Incorporation or an amendment thereto may, however, provide for greater individual liability.

 

This provision is intended to afford directors and officers protection against and to limit their potential liability for monetary damages resulting from suits alleging a breach of the duty of care by a director or officer. As a consequence of this provision, stockholders of our company will be unable to recover monetary damages against directors or officers for action taken by them that may constitute negligence or gross negligence in performance of their duties unless such conduct meets the requirements of Colorado law to impose such liability. The provision, however, does not alter the applicable standards governing a director’s or officer’s fiduciary duty and does not eliminate or limit the right of our company or any stockholder to obtain an injunction or any other type of non-monetary relief in the event of a breach of fiduciary duty.

 

The Colorado Business Corporations Act also provides that under certain circumstances, a corporation may indemnify any person for amounts incurred in connection with a pending, threatened or completed action, suit or proceeding in which he is, or is threatened to be made, a party by reason of his being a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, if such person (a) is not liable for a breach of fiduciary duty involving intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law or such greater standard imposed by the corporation’s articles of incorporation; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Additionally, a corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent with respect to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, if such person (a) is not liable for a breach of fiduciary duty involving intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law or such greater standard imposed by the corporation’s articles of incorporation; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, however, indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless the court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.

 

II-1
 

 

The Company’s By-laws provide in substance that every director and officer of the Company shall be entitled to indemnification against expense actually and necessarily incurred in any action suit or proceeding, in which he or she may be named as a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Company, except to the extent that such officer is finally adjudicated to be liable for negligence or misconduct.

 

Neither our Bylaws nor our Articles of Incorporation include any specific indemnification provisions for our officers or directors against liability under the Securities Act. Additionally, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 16. EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES

 

(a) Exhibits.

 

Pursuant to Item 601 of Regulation S-K:

 

A list of exhibits filed with this registration statement on Form S-1 is set forth on the Exhibit Index and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

 

(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii) Include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

II-2
 

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date

 

(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

7. Indemnification.

 

(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its Affiliates, directors, officers, and employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any and all legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Pricing Disclosure Package (including any Pricing Disclosure Package that has subsequently been amended), the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any Road Show, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 7(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company may otherwise have.

 

 

 

 

(b) Indemnification of the Company by the Underwriters. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each officer who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any and all legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in Section 7(a) hereof; provided, however, that each Underwriter shall be liable only to the extent that any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Pricing Disclosure Package (including any Pricing Disclosure Package that has subsequently been amended), the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Road Show in reliance upon, and in conformity with, the Underwriter Information relating to such Underwriter. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 7(d) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Underwriter may otherwise have.

 

(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to any of the preceding subsections of this Section 7, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under any of the preceding subsections of this Section 7 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under any of the preceding subsections of this Section 7. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for (i) any Underwriter, its Affiliates, directors, officers , and employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall be designated in writing by the Representative; and (ii) the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall be designated in writing by the Company.

 

(d) Settlements. The Indemnifying Person under this Section 7 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Person from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested an Indemnifying Person to reimburse the Indemnified Person for any reasonably incurred and documented fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 7, the Indemnifying Person agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such Indemnifying Person of the aforesaid request, (ii) such Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request, or shall not have disputed in good faith the Indemnified Person’s entitlement to such reimbursement, prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such Indemnified Person shall have given the Indemnifying Person at least 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from and against all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (y) does not include any statements as to or any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

 

 

 

 

8. Contribution. To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8 hereof is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Person in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, on the other hand, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Final Prospectus bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8 hereof, any and all legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 8 hereof with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 8; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 8 hereof for purposes of indemnification.

 

The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 8.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter in connection with the Shares distributed by it. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto.

 

For purposes of this Section 8, each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director and officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company with the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

 

 

 

 

The remedies provided for in Section 7 and Section 8 hereof are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

 

9. Termination. Prior to the delivery of and payment for the Shares on the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representative by notice given to the Company if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement: (i) trading or quotation of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended or materially limited on any securities exchange, quotation system or in the over-the-counter market; (ii) trading in securities generally on any of the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Capital Market or the over-the-counter market shall have been suspended or materially limited; (iii) a general banking moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York state authorities; (iv) there shall have occurred a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States; (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development involving a prospective substantial change in general economic, financial or political conditions in the United States or internationally, as in the reasonable judgment of the Representative is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Shares on the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, in the manner and on the terms described in the Pricing Disclosure Package or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities; or (vi) the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall have sustained a loss by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident or other calamity of such character as in the judgment of the Representative may interfere materially with the conduct of the business and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one entity, regardless of whether or not such loss shall have been insured.

 

Any termination pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability on the part of: (x) the Company to the Underwriters, except that the Company shall continue to be liable for the payment of expenses under Section 5 hereof; (y) any Underwriter to the Company; or (z) any party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7 and Section 8 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive any such termination.

 

10. Reimbursement of the Underwriters’ Expenses. If (a) the Company fails to deliver the Shares to the Underwriters for any reason at the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, in accordance with this Agreement or (b) the Underwriters decline to purchase the Shares for any reason permitted under this Agreement, then the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel to the Underwriters) incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the applicable offering contemplated hereby.

 

11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company or any of their respective officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

The Company agrees to indemnify the Underwriters against any loss incurred by the Underwriters as a result of any judgment or order being given or made against the Company for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than United States dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of each judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange in The City of New York at which such party on the date of payment of such judgment or order is able to purchase United States dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by such party if such party had utilized such amount of Judgment Currency to purchase United States dollars as promptly as practicable upon such party’s receipt thereof. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Company and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid.

21. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Shares and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or its Affiliates, shareholders, members, partners, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the several Underwriters and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, and the several Underwriters have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any fiduciary or advisory relationship; and (v) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice in any jurisdiction with respect to the offering contemplated hereby, and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. The Company waives and releases, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Shares or any matters leading up to the offering of the Shares.

Form of Lock-Up Agreement

 

Network 1 Financial Securities, LLC

2 Bridge Ave - Building 2 Suite 241

Red Bank, NJ 07701

 

As Representative of the several underwriters

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned understands that Network 1 Financial Securities, LLC (the “Representative”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) on [●], 2023 with AiXin Life International, Inc., a Colorado company (the “Company”), providing for the initial public offering in the United States (the “Initial Public Offering”) of a certain number of Common Stock, par value $0. 00001 per share (the “Securities”). For purposes of this letter agreement, “Shares” shall mean the Company’s Common Stock.

 

To induce the Underwriter to continue its efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, the undersigned will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of the final prospectus (the “Prospectus”) relating to the Initial Public Offering (the “Lock-Up Period”), (1) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, make any short sale, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for or represent the right to receive Shares, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”); (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) above or this clause (2) is to be settled by delivery of Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise; (3) make any written demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares; or (4) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of the Underwriter in connection with (a) transactions relating to Lock-Up Securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Initial Public Offering; (b) transfers of Lock-Up Securities as a bona fide gift, by will or intestacy or to a family member or trust for the benefit of the undersigned and/or one or more family members (for purposes of this lock-up agreement, “family member” means any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin); (c) transfers of Lock-Up Securities to a charity or educational institution or other not-for-profit organization; (d) if the undersigned, directly or indirectly, controls a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, any transfers of Lock-Up Securities to any such corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, or any shareholder, partner or member of, or owner of similar equity interests in, the same, as the case may be; (e) a sale or surrender to the Company of any options or Shares of the Company underlying options in order to pay the exercise price or taxes associated with the exercise of options or (f) transfers or distributions pursuant to any bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, acquisition, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Company’s Shares involving a Change of Control of the Company, provided that in the event that such tender offer, merger, acquisition, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Lock-Up Securities held by the undersigned shall remain subject to the provisions of this lock-up agreement; provided that in the case of any transfer pursuant to the foregoing clauses (b), (c) or (d), (i) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (ii) each transferee shall sign and deliver to the Underwriter a lock-up agreement substantially in the form of this lock-up agreement and (iii) no filing under Section 16(a) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended shall be required or shall be voluntarily made (collectively, “Permitted Transfers”). For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Change of Control” shall mean any transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with this lock-up agreement.

 

 

 

 

The undersigned agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this lock-up agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any transaction or other action in connection with a Permitted Transfer) during the period from the date hereof to and the expiration of the initial Lock-Up Period, the undersigned will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate any such transaction or take any such action unless it has received written confirmation from the Company that the Lock-Up Period has expired.

 

The undersigned agrees that (i) the foregoing restrictions shall be equally applicable to any issuer-directed or “friends and family” Shares that the undersigned may purchase in the Initial Public Offering, (ii) at least three (3) business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of Lock-Up Securities, the Underwriter will notify the Company of the impending release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by the Underwriter hereunder to any such officer or director shall only be effective two (2) business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer of Lock-Up Securities not for consideration or in connection with any other Permitted Transfer and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by a lock-up agreement substantially in the form of this lock-up agreement.

 

No provision in this agreement shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit the exercise, exchange or conversion by the undersigned of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into Shares, as applicable; provided that the undersigned does not transfer the Shares acquired on such exercise, exchange or conversion during the Lock-Up Period, unless in connection with a Permitted Transfer or in a transfer otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of this lock-up agreement. In addition, no provision herein shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit the entry into or modification of a so-called “10b5-1” plan at any time (other than the entry into or modification of such a plan in such a manner as to cause the sale of any Lock-Up Securities within the Lock-Up Period).

 

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriter are relying upon this lock-up agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Initial Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this lock-up agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal Underwriters, successors and assigns.

 

The undersigned understands that, if the Underwriting Agreement does not become effective, or if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Shares to be sold thereunder, then this lock-up agreement shall be void and of no further force or effect.

 

Whether or not the Initial Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. The Initial Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriter.

 

This lock-up agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. Delivery of a signed copy of this lock-up agreement by facsimile or e-mail/.pdf transmission shall be effective as the delivery of the original hereof.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

For the Purchase of [●] Common Stock

 

of

 

AIXIN LIFE INTERNATIONAL, INC.

 

1. Purchase Warrant. THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (this “Purchase Warrant”) certifies that, pursuant to that certain Underwriting Agreement by and between AiXin Life International, Inc., a Colorado company (the “Company”) and Network 1 Financial Securities, LLC (“Network 1”), dated [●], 2023 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), Network 1 (in such capacity with its permitted successors or assigns, the “Holder”), as registered owner of this Purchase Warrant, is entitled, at any time or from time to time from [●], 2023 (the “Exercise Date”) , and at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, [●], 2028 (the “Expiration Date”), but not thereafter, to subscribe for, purchase and receive, in whole or in part, up to [●] shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Shares”), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 hereof. If the Expiration Date is a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law or executive order to close, then this Purchase Warrant may be exercised on the next succeeding day which is not such a day in accordance with the terms herein, provided, however, for clarification, that banking institutions shall not be deemed to be authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed due to “stay at home”, “shelter-in-place”, “non-essential employee” or any other similar orders or restrictions or the closure of any physical branch locations at the direction of any governmental authority so long as the electronic funds transfer systems (including for wire transfers) of banking institutions in The City of New York generally are open for use by customers on such day. During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Expiration Date, the Company agrees not to take any action that would terminate this Purchase Warrant. This Purchase Warrant is initially exercisable at $[●] per Share (110% of the price of the Shares sold in the Offering); provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5 hereof, the rights granted by this Purchase Warrant, including the exercise price per Share and the number of Shares to be received upon such exercise, shall be adjusted as therein specified. The term “Exercise Price” shall mean the initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending on the context. Any term not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Underwriting Agreement.

 

2. Exercise.

 

2.1 Exercise Form. In order to exercise this Purchase Warrant, the exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Form”) must be duly executed and completed and delivered to the Company, together with this Purchase Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased payable in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company or by certified check or official bank check to the order of the Company. If the subscription rights represented hereby shall not be exercised at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date, this Purchase Warrant shall become and be void without further force or effect, and all rights represented hereby shall cease and expire.

 

 

 

 

2.2 Cashless Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Purchase Warrant by payment of cash or check payable to the order of the Company pursuant to Section 2.1 above, Holder may elect to receive the number of Shares equal to the value of this Purchase Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised), by surrender of this Purchase Warrant to the Company, together with the Exercise Form, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder, Shares in accordance with the following formula:

 

  X = Y(A – B)  
    A  

 

Where, X = The number of Shares to be issued to Holder;

 

Y = The number of Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Purchase Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Purchase Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise;

 

A = The fair market value of one Share; and

 

B = The Exercise Price of this Purchase Warrant, as adjusted hereunder.

 

For purposes of this Section 2.2, the fair market value of a Share is defined as follows:

 

(i) if the Company’s Common Stock are traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the closing price on such exchange on the trading day immediately prior to the Exercise Form being submitted to the Company in connection with the exercise of this Purchase Warrant; or

3. Transfer.

 

3.1 General Restrictions. The registered Holder of this Purchase Warrant agrees by his, her or its acceptance hereof, that such Holder will not for a period of 180 days beginning on the date of commencement of sales of the Offering: (a) sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate this Purchase Warrant or the securities hereunder to anyone other than: (i) Network 1 or a selected dealer participating in the Offering contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, or (ii) officers or partners of Network 1, each of whom shall have agreed to the restrictions contained herein, in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(e), or (b) cause this Purchase Warrant or the securities issuable hereunder to be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of this Purchase Warrant or the securities hereunder, except as provided for in FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2). The registered Holder of this Purchase Warrant will have the option to exercise their warrants at any time, provided that such shares are not transferred during the lock-up period; the 180-day lock period will remain on these underlying shares. The registered Holder of this Purchase Warrant shall have the option to exercise, transferred or assign their warrants at any time from issuance but the 180-day lock period shall remain in effect for the underlying shares. On and after that date that is 180-day after the date of commencement of sales of the Offering, transfers to others may be made subject to compliance with or exemptions from applicable securities laws. In order to make any permitted assignment, the Holder must deliver to the Company the assignment form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed and completed, together with this Purchase Warrant and payment of all transfer taxes, if any, payable in connection therewith. The Company shall, within five (5) Business Days, transfer this Purchase Warrant on the books of the Company and shall execute and deliver a new Purchase Warrant or Purchase Warrants of like tenor to the appropriate assignee(s) expressly evidencing the right to purchase the aggregate number of Shares purchasable hereunder or such portion of such number as shall be contemplated by any such assignment.

 

3.2 Restrictions Imposed by the Act. The securities evidenced by this Purchase Warrant shall not be transferred unless and until: (i) the Company has received the opinion of counsel for the Holder that the securities may be transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act and applicable state securities laws, the availability of which is established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, (ii) a Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of such securities that includes a current prospectus has been filed and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and compliance with applicable state securities law has been established.

 

4. New Purchase Warrants to be Issued.

 

4.1 Partial Exercise or Transfer. Subject to the restrictions in Section 3 hereof, this Purchase Warrant may be exercised or assigned in whole or in part. In the event of the exercise or assignment hereof in part only, upon surrender of this Purchase Warrant for cancellation, together with the duly executed exercise or assignment form and funds sufficient to pay any Exercise Price and/or transfer tax if exercised pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder without charge a new Purchase Warrant of like tenor to this Purchase Warrant in the name of the Holder evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the number of Shares purchasable hereunder as to which this Purchase Warrant has not been exercised or assigned.

 

4.2 Lost Certificate. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Purchase Warrant and of reasonably satisfactory indemnification or the posting of a bond, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Purchase Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new Purchase Warrant executed and delivered as a result of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation on the part of the Company.

 

5. Adjustments.

 

5.1 Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price and the number of Shares underlying this Purchase Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:

 

 

5.1.1 Share Dividends; Split Ups. If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 below, the number of outstanding Shares is increased by a stock dividend payable in Shares or by a split up of Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective day thereof, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased.

 

5.1.2 Aggregation of Shares. If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 below, the number of outstanding Shares is decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification of Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date thereof, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased.

 

 

 

 

5.1.3 Replacement of Shares upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Shares other than a change covered by Section 5.1.1 or Section 5.1.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value of such Shares, or in the case of any share reconstruction or amalgamation or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Holder of this Purchase Warrant shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of the right of exercise of this Purchase Warrant) to receive upon the exercise hereof, for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, share reconstruction or amalgamation, or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, by a Holder of the number of Shares of the Company obtainable upon exercise of this Purchase Warrant immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in Shares covered by Section 5.1.1 or Section 5.1.2, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Section 5.1.1, Section 5.1.2 and this Section 5.1.3. The provisions of this Section 5.1.3 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, share reconstructions or amalgamations, or consolidations, sales or other transfers.

 

5.1.4 Changes in Form of Purchase Warrant. This form of Purchase Warrant need not be changed because of any change pursuant to this Section 5.1, and Purchase Warrants issued after such change may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of Shares as are stated in the Purchase Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. The acceptance by any Holder of the issuance of new Purchase Warrants reflecting a required or permissive change shall not be deemed to waive any rights to an adjustment occurring after the date hereof or the computation thereof.

 

5.2 Substitute Purchase Warrant. In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or share reconstruction or amalgamation of the Company with or into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Shares), the corporation formed by such consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation shall execute and deliver to the Holder a supplemental Purchase Warrant providing that the holder of each Purchase Warrant then outstanding or to be outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the stated expiration of such Purchase Warrant) to receive, upon exercise of such Purchase Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation, by a holder of the number of Shares of the Company for which such Purchase Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, share reconstruction or amalgamation, sale or transfer. Such supplemental Purchase Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5. The above provision of this Section 5 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or share reconstructions or amalgamations.

 

5.3 Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of Shares upon the exercise of the Purchase Warrant, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of any fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole number of Shares or other securities, properties or rights.

 

6. Registration Rights. The Company has filed the Registration Statement with the Commission, which has been declared effective on Form F-1 (File No. 333-[●]), and registers the underlying shares of the Purchase Warrant(s) granted to the Holder(s) in connection to the Offering, under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

 

6.1 Demand Registration.

 

6.1.1 Grant of Right. Unless all of the Registrable Securities (defined as below) are included in an effective registration statement with a current prospectus, the Company, upon written demand (“Demand Notice”) of the Holder(s) of at least 51% of the Representative’s Warrants and/or the underlying securities (“Majority Holder(s)”), agrees to register on one occasion, all or any portion of the remaining Shares (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”) as requested by the Majority Holder(s) in the Demand Notice, provided that no such registration will be required unless the Holders request registration of an aggregate of at least 51% of the outstanding Registrable Securities. On such occasion, the Company will file a new registration statement or a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Demand Notice and use its best efforts to have such registration statement or post-effective amendment declared effective as soon as possible thereafter. The demand for registration may be made at any time after one (1) year from the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, but no later than five (5) years from the effective date of the Registration Statement. The Company covenants and agrees to give written notice of its receipt of any Demand Notice by any Holder(s) to all other registered Holders of the Representative’s Warrants and/or the Registrable Securities within ten (10) days from the date of the receipt of any such Demand Notice, who shall have five days from the receipt of such Notice in which to notify the Company of their desire to have their Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement.

 

 

 

 

6.1.2 Terms. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the Registrable Securities upon the Demand Notice. The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify or register the Registrable Securities in such States as are reasonably requested by the Majority Holder(s); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to register the Registrable Securities in a State in which such registration would cause (i) the Company to be obligated to qualify to do business in such State or execute a general consent to service of process, or would subject the Company to taxation as a foreign corporation doing business in such jurisdiction or (ii) the principal shareholders of the Company to be obligated to escrow their shares of capital stock of the Company. The Company shall cause any registration statement or post-effective amendment filed pursuant to the demand rights granted under Section 6.1.1 to remain effective for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months from the effective date of such registration statement or post-effective amendment or until the Holders have completed the distribution of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement, whichever occurs first.

 

6.1.3. Deferred Filing. If (i) in the good faith judgment of the Board, filing a registration statement pursuant to Section 6.1 would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes, as a result, that it is essential to defer the filing of such registration statement at such time, and (ii) the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such registration statement to be filed in the near future and that it is, therefore, essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing on two occasions for an aggregate of not more than one hundred and twenty (120) days in any twelve-month period.

 

6.1.4. No Cash Settlement Option. The Company is only required to use its best efforts to cause a registration statement covering issuance of the Registrable Securities underlying the Representative’s Warrant to be declared effective, and once effective, only to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement. The Company will not be obligated to deliver securities, and there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities, if a registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise. Additionally, in no event is the Company obligated to settle any Representative’s Warrant, in whole or in part, for cash in the event it is unable to register the Registrable Securities.

 

6.2 “Piggy-Back” Registration.

 

6.2.1 Grant of Right. Unless all of the Registrable Securities are included in an effective registration statement with a current prospectus, the Holders of the Representative’s Warrants shall have the right for a period of not more than five (5) years from the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, to include the remaining Registrable Securities as part of any other registration of securities filed by the Company (other than in connection with a transaction contemplated by Rule 145(a) promulgated under the Act or pursuant to Form S-8 or any successor or equivalent form); provided, however, that if, in the written opinion of the Company’s managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, for such offering, the inclusion of the Registrable Securities, when added to the securities being registered by the Company or the selling shareholder(s), will exceed the maximum amount of the Company’s securities which can be marketed (i) at a price reasonably related to their then current market value, and (ii) without materially and adversely affecting the entire offering, then the Company will still be required to include the Registrable Securities, but may require the Holders to agree, in writing, to delay the sale of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities for a period of ninety (90) days from the effective date of the offering, provided, further, that if the sale of any Registrable Securities is so delayed, then the number of securities to be sold by all shareholders in such public offering shall be apportioned pro rata among all such selling shareholders, including all holders of the Registrable Securities, according to the total amount of securities of the Company owned by said selling shareholders, including all holders of the Registrable Securities.

 

 

 

 

6.2.2 Terms. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the Registrable Securities. In the event of such a proposed registration, the Company shall furnish the then Holders of outstanding Registrable Securities with not less than fifteen (15) days written notice prior to the proposed date of filing of such registration statement. Such notice to the Holders shall continue to be given for each applicable registration statement filed (during the period in which the Representative’s Warrant is exercisable) by the Company until such time as all of the Registrable Securities have been registered and sold. The holders of the Registrable Securities shall exercise the “piggy back” rights provided for herein by giving written notice, within ten (10) business days of the receipt of the Company’s notice of its intention to file a registration statement. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause any registration statement filed pursuant to the above “piggyback” rights that does not relate to a firm commitment underwritten offering to remain effective for at least nine (9) consecutive months from the effective date of such registration statement or until the Holders have completed the distribution of the Registrable Securities in the registration statement, whichever occurs first.

 

7. Reservation and Listing. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Purchase Warrant, such number of Shares or other securities, properties or rights as shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of this Purchase Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, in accordance with the terms hereby, all Shares and other securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights of any shareholder. As long as this Purchase Warrant shall be outstanding, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Shares issuable upon exercise of this Purchase Warrant to be listed (subject to official notice of issuance) on all national securities exchanges (or, if applicable, on the OTC Bulletin Board or any successor trading market) on which the Shares issued to the public in the Offering may then be listed and/or quoted.

 

8. Certain Notice Requirements.

 

8.1 Holder’s Right to Receive Notice. Nothing herein shall be construed as conferring upon the Holders the right to vote or consent or to receive notice as a shareholder for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company. If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of the Purchase Warrants and their exercise, any of the events described in Section 8.2 shall occur, then, in one or more of said events, the Company shall give written notice of such event at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books (the “Notice Date”) for the determination of the shareholders entitled to such dividend, distribution, conversion or exchange of securities or subscription rights, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of the closing of the transfer books, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall deliver to each Holder a copy of each notice given to the other shareholders of the Company at the same time and in the same manner that such notice is given to the shareholders.

 

8.2 Events Requiring Notice. The Company shall be required to give the notice described in this Section 8 upon one or more of the following events: (i) if the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable otherwise than out of retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the books of the Company, (ii) the Company shall offer to all the holders of its Shares any additional shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option, right or warrant to subscribe therefor, or (iii) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation) or a sale of all or substantially all of its property, assets and business shall be proposed.

 

8.3 Notice of Change in Exercise Price.

 Re:Registration Statement on Form S-1 of AiXin Life International, Inc. (File No. 333-268190)

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted in a limited capacity as special local counsel to AiXin Life International, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the proposed issuance and sale by the Company of: (i) of up to [●] shares (the “Offering Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) in an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) as described in the Registration Statement on Form S-1, File No. 333-268190 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which includes [●] shares subject to the underwriter’s over-allotment option, as described in the Registration Statement; and (ii) the proposed issuance and sale by the Company of a warrant (the “Underwriter’s Warrant”) to purchase up to [●] shares of Common Stock (the “Underwriter’s Warrant Shares”) to be issued to the underwriter in the Offering.

 

As such special local counsel, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto and such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion, including, without limitation: (i) the Registration Statement; (ii) the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, (iii) the Bylaws of the Company, (iv) certain resolutions adopted by the board of directors of the Company relating to the Offering, the Offering Shares, the Underwriter’s Warrant Shares, and other related matters and (v) a form of the share certificate representing the common stock of the Company (the “Share Certificate”).

 

As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied on certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company. In rendering the opinion expressed below, we have assumed without verification the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

 

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

 

1. The Offering Shares have been duly authorized and, when the Offering Shares shall have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name or on behalf of the underwriter of the Offering, and have been issued by the Company against payment therefor (not less than par value) pursuant to the terms of the form of underwriting agreement most recently filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) as described in the Registration Statement, the Offering Shares will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

 

 

 

 

2. The Underwriter’s Warrant has been duly authorized and, when the Offering Shares are delivered by the Company in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement upon payment of the agreed upon consideration therefor as described in the Registration Statement, and the Underwriter’s Warrant is executed, countersigned, issued and delivered pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement as described in the Registration Statement, the Underwriter’s Warrant will constitute the legally valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

 

3. The Underwriter’s Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, when the Underwriter’s Warrant Shares shall have been paid for and issued in accordance with the terms of the Underwriter’s Warrant as described in the Registration Statement, the Underwriter’s Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

Re: Legal Opinion on Certain PRC Law Matters

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are qualified lawyers of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”, for the purpose of this legal opinion, excluding the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macao Special Administrative Region and Taiwan region) and as such are qualified to issue legal opinions on the PRC laws, regulations or rules effective on the date hereof (the “PRC Laws”).

 

We are acting as the PRC counsel for Aixin Life International, Inc. (the “Company”), a Colorado holding company solely in connection with (A) the proposed listing of the Company’s common stocks on the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Listing”) and (B) the proposed initial public offering and sale of a certain number of the Company’s common stocks (the ‘‘Offering”), in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including all amendments or supplements thereto (the “Registration Statement”).

 

As used in this opinion, (A) “PRC Authorities” means any national, provincial or local governmental, regulatory or administrative authority, agency or commission in the PRC, or any court, tribunal or any other judicial or arbitral body in the PRC; (B) “Governmental Authorizations” means all approvals, consents, waivers, sanctions, certificates, authorizations, filings, registrations, exemptions, permissions, annual inspections, qualifications, permits and licenses required by any PRC Authorities pursuant to any PRC Laws; (C) “PRC Subsidiaries” means the subsidiaries of the Company incorporated in the PRC as listed in Appendix A hereto; (D) “M&A Rules” means the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, which was issued by six PRC regulatory agencies, namely, the Ministry of Commerce, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the State Administration for Taxation, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) and the State Administration for Foreign Exchange, on August 8, 2006 and became effective on September 8, 2006, as amended by the Ministry of Commerce on June 22, 2009; (E) “Trial Measures” means the set of regulations issued by the CSRC for the filing-based administration of overseas securities offerings and listing by PRC based companies incorporated in mainland China which become effective March 31, 2023; and (F) “Prospectuses” mean the prospectus, including all amendments or supplements thereto, that form parts of the Registration Statement.

In so acting, we have examined the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, provided to us by the Company, the PRC Subsidiaries and such other documents, corporate records, certificates, Governmental Authorizations and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion, including, without limitation, the certificates issued by the PRC Authorities and officers of the Company (collectively, the “Documents”).

 

In reviewing the Documents and for the purpose of this opinion, we have assumed:

 

(1) the genuineness of all the signatures, seals and chops;
   
(2) the authenticity of the Documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the originals of the Documents provided to us as copies and the authenticity of such originals;
   
(3) the truthfulness, accuracy, completeness and fairness of all factual statements contained in the Documents;
   
(4) that the Documents have not been revoked, amended, varied or supplemented except as otherwise indicated in such Documents;
   
(5) that all information (including factual statements) provided to us by the Company, the PRC Subsidiaries in response to our enquiries for the purpose of this opinion is true, accurate, complete and not misleading, and that the Company, the PRC Subsidiaries have not withheld anything that, if disclosed to us, would reasonably cause us to alter this opinion in whole or in part;
   
(6) that all parties have the requisite power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform the Documents to which they are parties;
   
(7) that all parties have duly executed, delivered and performed the Documents to which they are parties, and all parties will duly perform their obligations under the Documents to which they are parties;
   
(8) that all Governmental Authorizations and other official statement or documentation were obtained from competent PRC Authorities by lawful means;
   
(9) that all the Documents are legal, valid, binding and enforceable under all such laws as govern or relate to them, other than PRC Laws; and
   
(10) that this opinion is limited to matters of the PRC Laws effective as the date hereof. We have not investigated, and we do not express or imply any opinion on accounting, auditing, or laws of any other jurisdiction.

I. Opinions

 

Based on the foregoing and subject to the disclosures contained in the Registration Statement and the qualifications set out below, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, so far as PRC Laws are concerned:

 

  (i) Based on our understanding of the current PRC Laws, the ownership structures of the PRC Subsidiaries is in compliance, and immediately after this Offering will comply, with applicable PRC Laws. The descriptions of the corporate structure of the PRC Subsidiaries are true and accurate and nothing has been omitted from such descriptions which would make the same misleading in any material respects.
     
  (ii) Under the M&A Rules, the approval of the Ministry of Commerce of China must be obtained in circumstances where overseas companies established or controlled by PRC enterprises or residents acquire domestic companies affiliated with such PRC enterprises or residents. Applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations also require certain merger and acquisition transactions to be subject to security review. At present, only one administrative license related to overseas public offering and listing is enacted, that is, “examination and approval of overseas public offering shares and listing (including additional issuance) of joint-stock companies”. Such examination and approval license requirements are only applicable to issuers which are formed as PRC joint-stock companies in China under PRC law. None of the operating PRC Subsidiaries is formed as a PRC joint-stock company in China. As such, based on our understanding of the PRC Laws (including the M&A Rules), a prior approval from the CSRC is not required for the Offering. However, uncertainties still exist as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented and our opinion stated above is subject to any new laws, rules and regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules.
     
  (iii) On December 24, 2021, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC, issued Provisions of the State Council on the Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (Draft for Comments) (the “Administration Provisions”), and the Administrative Measures for the Filing of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Measures”), which were open for public comments by January 23, 2022. Pursuant to the Administration Provisions and Measures domestic companies seeking to list outside of China must carry out relevant security screening procedures if their businesses involve activities requiring supervision such as foreign investment security and cyber security reviews. The Administration Provisions and Measures have not yet come into effect and it is uncertain when the Administration Provision and the Measures will take effect, and whether when they will take effect as currently drafted or if whether the PRC Subsidiaries will be subject to such measures when they come into effect. As such, based because the Administration Provisions and Measures have not yet come into effect, a prior approval from the CSRC is not required for the Offering as a result of the issuance made on December 24, 2021.
     
  (iv)

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC issued the Trial Measures. The Trial Measures are comprised of six documents, namely the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by China-based Companies and five supporting guidelines. The Trial Measures lay out the filing regulations for both direct and indirect overseas listings and clarify the criteria for determining whether a listing constitutes an indirect overseas listing in an overseas market. The Trial Measures stipulate that a China-based company shall fulfill the filing procedures within three business days after the issuer makes an application for an initial public offering and listing in an overseas market. According to the Notice on Administrative Arrangement of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by China-based Companies issued on February 17, 2023, enterprises that as of March 31, 2023, have securities that are listed overseas or fall under the circumstances described in clauses (i) through (iii) below shall constitute “Existing Issuers” and are not required to conduct the overseas listing filing procedure immediately, but shall carry out filing procedures as required if they conduct a secondary offering. The circumstances which resulting in an entity being an Existing Issuer are (i) the application for an indirect overseas offering or listing by the entity shall have been approved by the overseas regulatory authorities or the overseas stock exchanges (for example, a contemplated offering and/or listing in the United States has obtained approval for its registration statements from the SEC), (ii) it is not required to re-perform the regulatory procedures with the relevant overseas regulatory authority or the overseas stock exchange, and (iii) such overseas securities offering or listing shall be completed before September 30, 2023. Based on our understanding of the provisions under the PRC Laws, we are of the opinion that neither the Company nor any of the operating PRC Subsidiaries is required to file with the CSRC under the Trial Measures for the Offering (including the offering of the Company’s common stock to U.S. investors) and the listing and trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq Stock Market before the Offering is completed.

As of the date of this prospectus, the Company has not received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanctions or regulatory objection to this offering from the CSRC, CAC or any other PRC governmental authorities, and we are of the opinion that the PRC Subsidiaries have obtained all requisite permissions and approvals from PRC governmental authorities to operate their businesses as currently conducted under relevant PRC laws and regulations.

 

  (iv) The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other form of reciprocal arrangements with the United States that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against the Company or its directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States or the Cayman Islands.
     
  (iv) Based on our understanding of the current PRC Laws after due and reasonable inquiry, we believe: (i) neither the Company nor any of its PRC Subsidiaries is among the “operators of critical information infrastructure” or “online platform operators” as defined by the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version) which was promulgated and took effect on February 15, 2022; (ii) neither the Company nor any of its PRC Subsidiaries is directly subject to the regulatory actions or statements which the PRC Authorities initiated recently on securities market, cybersecurity review and anti-monopoly enforcement, as the Company and its PRC Subsidiaries have not implemented any monopolistic behavior and their business does not involve the collection of user data, implicate cybersecurity, or involve any other type of restricted industry; and (iii) other than those requisite permissions that the Company’s PRC Subsidiaries have obtained for a domestic company in China to engage in the similar businesses, neither the Company nor any of its PRC Subsidiaries is required to obtain any permission from any PRC Authorities, including, without limitation, the CSRC and the Cyberspace Administration of China, to conduct its operations and the Offering (including offering securities to foreign investors). However, since the Measures for Cybersecurity Review was recently adopted, and there remains significant uncertainty as to the enactment, interpretation and implementation of regulatory requirements related to current and future PRC Laws, overseas securities offerings and other capital markets activities, and there can be no assurance that the PRC Authorities will take a view that is not contrary to or otherwise different from our opinion stated above.

  (v) To the best of our knowledge after due and reasonable inquiry, the statements in the Prospectus under the captions “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Use of Proceeds,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, “Business,” “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”, and elsewhere insofar, to the extent that such statements describe or summarize PRC legal or regulatory matters, or documents, agreements or proceedings governed by PRC Laws, are true, accurate and correct in all material respects, and fairly present or fairly summarize in all material respects the PRC legal and regulatory matters, documents, agreements or proceedings referred to therein; and such statements do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact, and do not omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
     
  (vi) The statements set forth in the Registration Statement under the heading “Prospectus Summary — Transfers of Cash to and from our Subsidiaries”, to the extent that the discussion states definitive legal conclusions under PRC tax laws and regulations, subject to the qualifications therein, constitute our opinion on such matters.

 

II. Qualifications

  (b) This opinion is subject to the discretion of any competent PRC legislative, administrative or judicial bodies in exercising their authority in the PRC.
     
  (c) This opinion relates only to PRC Laws and there is no assurance that any of such PRC Laws will not be changed, amended or replaced in the immediate future or in the longer term with or without retrospective effect. We express no opinion as to any laws other than PRC Laws.
     
  (d) This opinion is intended to be used in the context which is specially referred to herein and each section should be considered as a whole and no part should be extracted and referred to independently.

 

This opinion is delivered solely for the purpose of and in connection with the Registration Statement submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on the date of this opinion and may not be used for any other purpose without our prior written consent.
