Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2022
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Acro Biomedical Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation incorporated on
The Company’s business is the sale of cordyceps related products. Cordyceps is a fungus that is used in traditional Chinese medicine. During the second and third quarters of 2021, the Company engaged consultants to take the initial steps to develop and implement a research and development and marketing program. These consultants are working independently and report to the chief executive officer. The Company cannot give any assurance that the marketing and research development activities will generate any new product or new marketing opportunities or generate any significant revenue.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Notes to the unaudited interim financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 has been omitted; and these unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021 included within the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring entries necessary for a fair statement of the periods presented for: (a) the financial position; (b) the result of operations; and (c) cash flows, have been made in order to make the unaudited interim financial statements presented not misleading. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operations for a full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Topic 606, which requires revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
| · | identify the contract with a customer; |
|
|
|
| · | identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
|
|
|
| · | determine the transaction price; |
|
|
|
| · | allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and |
|
|
|
| · | recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. |
| 8 |
| Table of Contents |
Under these criteria, the Company generally recognizes revenue when its products are delivered to customers in accordance with the written sales terms.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded in accordance with ASC 310, “Receivables.” Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company does not currently have any amount recorded as an allowance for doubtful accounts. Based on management’s estimate and based on all accounts being current, the Company has not deemed it necessary to reserve for doubtful accounts at this time.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of basic earnings per share on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent share arrangements, stock options and warrants unless the result would be antidilutive. There were
COVID-19
Since our products are purchased by customers in the Republic of China (Taiwan) and Hong Kong who sold products to their customers in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), our business was impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken by the governments of the PRC, the Republic of China (Taiwan) and Hong Kong. We cannot predict the effect on our business of the COVID-19 pandemic and the steps taken by governments to address the pandemic. A prolonged outbreak as well as lockdowns in the PRC could have a material adverse impact on financial results and business operations of the Company. Factors relating to COVID-19 which significantly contributed to the lack of revenue in the third quarters of 2021 and the modest level our revenue in 2021, most of which was in the fourth quarter, and the failure to generate any of revenue in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 may continue affect us and the market for our products which include, but are not limited to, the following.
As the population of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan becomes vaccinated and restrictions that had been imposed to address the pandemic are lifted, we cannot assure you that our sales will increase as a result of the reduction of such restrictions. The effects of the Delta and Omicron variation and any other variations which may develop as well as other illnesses which may affect a broad segment of the population and the governmental and public response to these developments may impair the market for our products, including the recent lockdown in a number of provinces and municipalities in China.
As the world has begun to open following closures as a result of the pandemic, two other factors are facing businesses and consumers, which are considered to be related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. These are inflation and supply chain issues, which have been exacerbated by the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine. We cannot estimate the effect of these factors on our business. To the extent that these factors result in increased prices, we may not be able to pass along the increases to our customers. Any shortages of cordyceps would affect our ability to generate sales of our products. Further, to the extent our customers use our products as an ingredient in their own products, the inability of a potential customer to obtain other raw materials as well as cost increases for such products, could affect the timing and the amount of purchases from us. We cannot assure you that our business will not be impaired by the effects of inflation and supply chain issues.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had limited gross profit and incurred a loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and past few years. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

| Table of Contents |
The Company proposes to fund operations through sales of its products and equity financing arrangements. However, because of the lack of sales and the absence of any active trading market for its common stock, its financial condition and its lack of an operating history, the Company may not be able to raise funds for capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements and will have to rely on advances from a minority stockholder and our officer. If the Company cannot generate revenue from its products, it may not be able to continue in its business.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
Since January 30, 2017, following a change of control, we have been engaged in the business of developing and marketing nutritional products that promote wellness and a healthy lifestyle. Our business to date has involved the purchase of products from three suppliers in Taiwan and the sale of these products to four unrelated customers, one of which accounted for all of our sales in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. We did not have any sales during the third quarter of 2021, the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 and the first three quarters of 2019. We sell product in bulk to companies who may use our products as ingredients in their products or sell the products they purchase from us to their own customers.
All of our sales to date have been sales of cordyceps related products except that, in in the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we sold metallothionein MT-3 elizer, a product that we do not currently sell. Cordyceps is a fungus that is used in traditional Chinese medicine. Cordyceps sinensis has been described as a medicine in old Chinese medical books and Tibetan medicine. It is a rare combination of a caterpillar and a fungus and found at altitudes above 4500m in Sikkim. We may also seek to market other products which we see as complimentary to our present products; however, we have not entered into negotiations with respect to the distribution of other products, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to market any other products.
All of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 represents sales to three customers and one customer, respectively. During 2021, our three customers accounted for was 58.5%, 33.2% and 8.3% of our revenue. Our sole customer for 2020 was the smallest of the three customers for 2021. One of these customers, which accounted for 33.2% of our revenue in 2021, was our sole customer in the three months ended March 31, 2022.
We believe that our failure to sell products in the third quarter of 2021 and second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 resulted substantially from the COVID – 19 pandemic and actions taken by governments to address the pandemic, as well as a continuation of downturn in the market in the PRC for cordyseps products as well as the political conditions in Hong Kong, and we cannot assure you that the market will improve. We also cannot assure you the political instability in Hong Kong will not affect our sales, since our customers in 2017 and 2018 were Hong Kong based customers who sold their products in the PRC and none of these customers has made purchases from us since the quarter ended December 31, 2018. We cannot assure you that these factors will not affect our ability to generate revenues in the future and, to the extent that any of these factors affects our ability to generate revenue, we may not be able to continue in business.
At present, we have no full-time employees. Our only employee is our chief executive officer who work for us on a part-time basis. We face significant risks in implementing our business plan, including, but not limited to, our ability to raise the necessary financing either through the sale of debt or equity securities or through a loan facility, our ability to increase our customer base and supply chain, our ability to increase our gross margins, our ability to hire and retain qualified research and development, marketing and administrative personnel, our ability to develop products and to market in the United States and other western markets any products we may develop, our ability to comply with any government regulations relating to the manufacture, distribution and marketing any products we develop. We cannot assure you that we can or will develop any products or generate revenue or profits in the future.
Our statement of operation reflects the amortization of common stock issued to consultants in connection with our proposed chicken feed product. We issued a total of 12,282,000 shares of common stock to consultants as stock grants pursuant to agreements with the consultants in May and August 2021. The agreements provide for the consultants to perform services described in the contracts for the two-year period commencing the date of the agreements. The shares were valued at $31,424,800, based on the market price of the common stock on the respective dates of the agreements, and is being amortized over two-year period starting from the date of the agreement using the straight-line method. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded stock-based compensation of $7,651,417 and had deferred stock compensation of $23,773,383 as of December 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded stock-based compensation of $3,928,100, and we had deferred stock compensation of $19,845,283 as of March 31, 2022. The deferred stock compensation will be recognized over the balance of the terms of the agreements
We require funds for our operations. At March 31, 2022, we had $357,668 in cash and $298,500 in accounts receivables, and no inventory. Although we may seek to raise funds in the equity market, we have no agreements or understandings with respect to any funding and we can give no assurance as to the availability or terms of any such financing. Because of our financial condition, the lack of sales in the four out of eight quarters in 2021 and 2020, our reliance of sales primarily of one product, along with the absence of an active market for our stock and our market capitalization in relation to our financial performance, together with risk related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the political and legal situation in Hong Kong, it may be difficult for us to raise funds in the equity market, and, if we are able to raise funds our stockholders may suffer significant dilution.

To the extent that we implement our business plan, we anticipate that we will incur marketing and other expenses without any assurance that such expenses will generate any significant revenue or net income. Because of our cash position, we may use equity-based compensation for our employees and independent contractors. Because of our low cash position, we may rely on loans from stockholders or related parties, although we do not have any agreements or understandings at this time and we may issue equity to attract employees and consultants to help us develop our business plan.
Effects of COVID-19
Since our products are purchased by customers in Taiwan and Hong Kong primarily as one ingredient of a product to be sold to their customers, our business has been and may continue to be impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken by the governments of the PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan as well as any other countries in which we may seek to sell products, as they effect manufacturers and their customers, including the recent lockdowns in cities and provinces of China.

Inflation and Supply Chain Disruption
After years of relatively low inflation, during the past year, countries throughout the world, including Asia, have be subject to inflation at a rate significantly higher than in recent years. The slowdown resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and steps taken by governments to address the pandemic, including the recent lockdown in a number of Chinese provinces and cities, have created major supply chain disruptions. Although we did not purchase any inventory in 2021 and we purchased modest inventory in the first quarter of 2022, we expect that both the inflationary pressures and supply chain disruption that affect other industries will affect us. These factors may result in delays in receipt of products we order, and increased costs which we may not be able to pass on to consumers. The recent Russian invasion of Ukraine has also exacerbated the inflationary and supply chain issues. We cannot assure you that our business will not be materially impair by inflationary and supply chain disruption.
To the extent that we implement our business plan, we anticipate that we will incur marketing and other expenses without any assurance that such expenses will generate any significant revenue or net income. Because of our cash position, we have used and may continue to use equity-based compensation for our employees and independent contractors. We issued a total of 12,282,000 shares of common stock to consultants as stock grants pursuant to agreements with the consultants in May 2021 and August 2021. The agreements provide for the consultants to perform services described in the contracts for the two-year period commencing May 25, 2021 and August 23, 2021. The shares were valued at $31,424,800 and are being amortized over the two-year terms of the agreements period using the straight line method. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded stock-based compensation of $3,928,100 and had deferred stock compensation of $19,845,283 as of March 31, 2022, which will be amortized over the balance of the terms of the agreements. In order to pay cash expenses, we may have to rely on loans from stockholders or related parties, although we do not have any agreements or understandings at this time.

Our research and development has related to our development effort for a cordyceps-infused chicken feed and the inspection, analysis and comparison of the nutritional components of eggs that are laid by chickens that are fed cordyceps-infused chicken feed. We are formulating both the chicken feed and a marketing plan for cordyceps-based chicken feed. In order to be successful, we would need to satisfy chicken farmers that the use of cordyceps-infused check feed is safe, that there is improved nutrition in the chickens and the eggs and that the cost of the feed is reasonable and that there is a market for eggs laid by chickens that were feed with cordyceps-infused chicken feed. To date, our proposed product has not been tested by chicken farmers. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in developing a marketable product or that we will generate any significant revenue from this product.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had revenues of $298,500, representing the sale of cordyceps products to one customer, cost of revenue of $222,000, a gross profit of $76,500, operating expenses of $4,005,088, of which $2,520,000 represented research and development expenses related primarily to the development of cordyceps-infused chicken feed, $1,485,088 represented selling, general and administrative expenses primarily relating to services provided by our consultants who received stock grants as compensation and, to a significantly lesser extent, to expenses and professional fees relating to our status as a public company. Our operating expenses included stock-based compensation to our consultants of $3,928,100. We also incurred interest expense to a related party of $209. As a result, we had a net loss of $3,928,797 or $(0.07) per share (basic and diluted).
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had revenues of $99,500, representing the sale of cordyceps products to one customer, which is a different customer from the customer in the first quarter of 2022, cost of revenue of $70,000, a gross profit of $29,500, operating expenses of $86,491 which represented selling, general and administrative expenses primarily relating to expenses and professional fees relating to our status as a public company. We also incurred interest expense to a related party of $2,503. As a result, we had a net loss of $59,494 or $(0.00) per share (basic and diluted).
Because of our dependence on a few customers, one of which accounted for all of our sales since in the first quarter of 2022, our revenue in any quarter is dependent upon both the timing of orders from customers and the delivery of products from our suppliers.

Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We had limited gross profit and incurred a loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and for the past few years. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We propose to fund operations through sales of products and equity financing arrangements. However, because of the lack of sales and the absence of any active trading market for our common stock, our financial condition and our lack of an operating history, including our dependence upon a limited number of customers, we may not be able to raise funds for capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements and will have to rely on advances from a minority stockholder, who is also an unpaid consultant, and our officer. If we cannot generate revenue from its products, it may not be able to continue in its business.
Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements. Our management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on our financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements 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 that is material to investors.
Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”), as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2022, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Disclosure Controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, which positions are held by the same person and who is our only employee and who does not work for us on a full-time basis. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that, due to the inadequacy of our internal controls over financial reporting, our sole employee being our chief executive and financial officer and our limited internal audit function, our disclosure controls were not effective as of March 31 , 2022, such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the president and treasurer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, management has determined that our internal controls contain material weaknesses due to the absence of segregation of duties, as well as lack of qualified accounting personnel and excessive reliance on third party consultants for accounting, financial reporting and related activities. The lack of any separation of duties, with the same person, who is our only employee who serves as both chief executive officer and chief financial officer, who is our sole director and who does not have an accounting background and serves on a part-time basis, makes it unlikely that we will be able to implement effective internal controls over financial reporting in the near future.
During the period ended March 31, 2022, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
