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. On February 2, 2017, Mr. Quanzhong Lin (Mr. Lin) purchased % of the Company’s
outstanding shares from China Concentric Capital Group for $
On
December 12, 2017, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement, in consideration for all of the outstanding shares of AiXin (BVI) International
Group Co., Ltd. a British Virgin Islands corporation (“AiXin BVI”), the Company issued to Mr. Lin, the sole stockholder of
AiXin BVI, shares of common stock then representing
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 subsidiary, AiXinZhonghong, 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. 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

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
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 wholly owned subsidiaries, AiXin HK, AiXinZhonghong, Aixin Shangyan Hotel, Aixintang Pharmacies, and Runcangsheng. Intercompany transactions and accounts were eliminated in consolidation. 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, 2023.
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, 2024.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business are dependent on, among other things, the Company’s ability to operate profitably, to generate cash flows from operations, and to pursue financing arrangements to support its working capital requirements.
The
Company has suffered net losses of $
| 9 |
Management believes that it has developed a liquidity plan, summarized below, that, if executed successfully, should provide sufficient liquidity to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due for a reasonable period of time, and allow the development of its core business. The plan includes:
● Gaining positive cash-inflow from operating activities through continuous cost reductions and the sales of higher margin products.
● Raising cash through loans from related parties and potential equity offerings.
While the Company’s management believes that the measures in its liquidity plan including those described above will be adequate to satisfy its liquidity requirements for the twelve months after the date that these financial statements are issued, there is no assurance that the liquidity plan will be successfully implemented. Failure to successfully implement the liquidity plan may have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial position, and may adversely affect its ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Global Uncertainties
The Company’s liquidity may be adversely impacted by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to future and current impacts of global events such as a widespread health crisis, the continuation of the war in the Ukraine or the conflict in Palestine, the outbreak of another conflict or the expansion of the conflict in Palestine to other countries, the ongoing tensions between the United States and China, the Russian Federation and certain countries in the Middle East, increases in inflation, and other risks detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
While the invasion of Ukraine, the conflict in Palestine and responses thereto have not interrupted the Company’s operations, these or future developments which disrupt the international financial markets 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.
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 cash maintained in temporarily frozen bank accounts held by Aixintang Pharmacy and its branches by the court for a judgement against Aixintang Pharmacy (see Note 17 – litigation).
| 10 |
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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the
bad debt allowance was $
The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s accounts receivable allowance for doubtful accounts for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

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 provision for inventory reserve of $
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

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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.
| 11 |
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 recorded goodwill in the amount of $ as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not take any uncertain positions that would necessitate recording a tax related liability.
| 12 |
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. |
The Company’s revenue recognition policies for its various operating segments are as follows:
Products
The Company’s revenue from sales 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 the option 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
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
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. Aixintang Pharmacies’ products sold in China are subject to the PRC VAT of
Manufacture and Sale
The
Company’s subsidiary Runcangsheng recognizes revenue at the time products are shipped as this satisfies its performance obligation.
The Company records a receivable for its 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 Runcangsheng’s products sold in China are subject to the PRC VAT of
| 13 |
Unearned Revenue
The Company’s unearned revenue primarily consists of advances received from customers for the purchase of products prior to the delivery of goods, and for the rental of hotel rooms prior to the delivery of service. The delivery of products and room rental services is based upon contract terms and customer demand, normally within one year.
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
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 months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no customer that accounted for over 10% of its total revenue.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had one major supplier that accounted for over 10% of its total purchases.

| B | $ | % | ||||||
| C | % | |||||||
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. ROU assets are adjusted for prepayments and accrued lease payments. ROU assets also reflect any lease payments made prior to commencement and are recorded net of any lease incentives received. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease and such options are considered when determining the value of an ROU asset when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options.
| 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 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 cash 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 consisted of net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments.
| 15 |
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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 four operating segments, products, pharmacies, hotel, and manufacture and sales, 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 November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM). In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2023-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires disclosures of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company’s management does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement 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.

Completion of the proposed reverse stock split was to be effected on a date determined by the Board of Directors only upon receipt of notice from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) that it would process the proposed reverse stock split. The Company received notice from FINRA and its common stock began trading on a post-split basis on February 17, 2023.
As a result of the reverse split, every two shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined and converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock. The Company has approximately shares of outstanding common stock after giving effect to the reverse stock split and the elimination of fractional shares.
All share and earnings per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should specifically consider the various risk factors identified in our 2023 Form 10-K, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
Overview
In December 2017, we completed a “reverse” acquisition whereby we acquired all of the outstanding shares of AiXin (BVI) International Group Co., Ltd. a British Virgin Islands corporation (“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 began distributing nutritional products in 2013.
In September 2021, we completed the acquisition of nine pharmacies located in Chengdu by acquiring the entities which owned the pharmacies for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 34,635,845, or approximately US$5.31 million. We currently operate at 26 locations, including 18 locations operated pursuant to a single chain license.
Pursuant to an Equity Transfer Agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”), on September 30, 2022, we acquired all of the outstanding equity of Yunnan Runcangsheng Technology Co., Ltd (“Runcangsheng”) for RMB 31,557,820 (approximately USD$4.4 million), reduced by $116,802 the excess of the estimated net worth of Runcangsheng over its audited net worth as of December 31, 2021. In addition to transferring their respective equity interest in Runcangsheng, both Sellers agreed to forgive any loans due to them from Runcangsheng. Runcangsheng. was established in April 2020, and is headquartered in Luquan Yi and Miao Autonomous County, Kunming City, Yunnan Province.
Runcangsheng operates a 13,000 square meter production facility, which houses R&D centers, extraction facilities, preparation workshops and a warehouse. Runcangsheng has more than 30 sub brands and is focused on promoting a healthy lifestyle through the use of foods believed to promote well-being, health foods, modernized versions of traditional Chinese medical products and plant extracts. Runcangsheng cultivates many of the raw materials used in its products, compounds the materials into easy to transport and use pre-packaged foods and distributes the products at the wholesale level. As life-styles in China evolve, work pressures increase and the ingestion of meats and other western style foods increases, Runcangsheng seeks to design and market products intended to combat the increase in obesity, hypertension, insomnia and physical ailments associated with such changes. The acquisition of Runcangsheng will enable us to operate as a vertically integrated company, capable of formulating the kinds of health foods and other nutritional products and supplements suitable for our clients and marketing those products through our distribution channels.
In addition to our acquisitions in the health and nutritional sector, in July 2021, we completed the acquisition of Aixin Shangyan Hotel through which we owned and operated a hotel located in the Jinniu District, Chengdu City. Effective March 31, 2024, we terminated our lease for the Shangyan Hotel. In the termination agreement we and the landlord agreed to release each other from any claims and the landlord agreed to return the security deposit.
On February 6, 2024, we entered into a lease with respect to a hotel located in Bandzhuyuan Town, Xindu District, Chengdu City. The term of the lease commenced February 29, 2024 and expires April 15, 2034. The Lease grants us the right to occupy various areas within the hotel, covering approximately 18,000 square meters, including the first-floor lobby, external shops (subject to the rights of the current occupants), the second and third floors, portions of the fourth floor including the restaurant and tea shop, and the fifth through eighteenth floors comprised mainly of guest rooms, underground and ground parking lots, and all hotel facilities and equipment. References to hotel revenues and operating costs below are with respect to the hotel we previously occupied in the Jinniu District of Chengdu.

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 offer products manufactured by us and those purchased from third parties 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.
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. There is no assurance that we will achieve our business objectives.

Revenue
Revenue was $851,559 in the three months ending March 31, 2024, compared to $754,713 in the same period of 2023, an increase of $96,846 or 13%. The increase in revenue was mainly due to increases in direct sales of our nutritional products, pharmacies’ sales, and increases in revenue from Runcangsheng, which was partly offset by a decrease in revenues from our hotel sector. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had $697,094 in product revenues (of which $165,749 were from direct sales, $241,118 were from sales at our pharmacies and $290,227 from sales by Runcangsheng) and hotel revenue of $154,465. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had $422,296 in product revenues (of which $163,260 were from direct sales, $223,516 were from sales at our pharmacies and $35,520 from sales by Runcangsheng) and hotel revenue of $332,417.
| 27 |
Direct products sales
Our direct products sales revenue was $165,749 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with $163,260 in the same period of 2023, representing an increase of $2,489 or 2%. Our direct products sales revenue as a percentage to total revenue was 19% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 22% for the same period of 2023.
Pharmacies Revenue
Our pharmacies revenue was $241,118 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with $223,516 in the same period of 2023, representing an increase of $17,602 or 8%. Our pharmacies revenue as a percentage to total revenue was 28% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 30% for the same period of 2023. The increase in pharmacies revenue was a result of our chain stores joint promotion activities which allowed customers able to purchase the products that are not sold in their regular stores but available in our other chain stores, as well as increased demand from our members for the health supplement products.
Hotel Revenue
Our hotel revenue was $154,465 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with $332,417 for the same period of 2023, representing a decrease of $177,952 or 54%. Our hotel revenue as a percentage of total revenue was 18% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 44% for the same period of 2023. The Chinese New Year occurred in the first quarter of 2024 andpersonnel associated with Zhonghong and long-term customers held meetings and celebratory events in the hotel which reduced the number of external guests, which resulted a decrease in revenue.
Manufacture and sales
Our manufacture and sales revenues were $290,227 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with $35,520 for the same period of 2023, representing an increase of $254,707 or 717%. Our manufacture and sales revenue as a percentage of total revenue was 34% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 5% for the same period of 2023. The increase in manufacture and sales was mainly driven by the addition of new salespeople and increased consumer demand during the Chinese New Year.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold was $327,811 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $175,488 for the same period of 2023, an increase of $152,323 or 87%. The increase in cost of goods sold was attributable to the increase in Runcangsheng’s manufacture and sales business.
Direct products sales
The cost of goods sold for our direct products was $19,708 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with $34,734 for the same period of 2023, representing a decrease of $15,026 or 43%. The cost of goods sold for our direct product sales as a percentage of sales was 12% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 21% for the same period of 2023. The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily driven by the elimination of a commission program for our sales personnel in the first quarter of 2024.
Pharmacies Revenue
The cost of goods sold at our pharmacies was $80,174 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with $138,633 for the same period of 2023, representing a decrease of $58,459 or 42%. The cost of goods sold at our pharmacies as a percentage of pharmacy product sales was 33% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 62% for the same period of 2023. The decrease in cost of goods sold was mainly due to our coordination of activities at our pharmacies, such as the implementation of bulk inventory purchasing which reduced our purchasing costs; and cost reduction measures undertaken in September 2023, including reviewing our list of vendors and replacing those vendors with higher cost products.
| 28 |
Manufacture and sales
The cost of goods sold for our manufacture and sales was $227,929 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with $2,121 for the same period of 2023, representing an increase of $225,808 or 10,646%. The cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales by our manufacture and sales was 79% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 6% for the same period of 2023. The primary reason for the increase in cost of goods sold was due to the significant increase of sales.
Hotel Operating Costs
Hotel operating costs were $461,079 and $477,794 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing a decrease of $16,715 or 3%. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our hotel revenue significantly decreased compared to the same period in 2023. However, due to the fixed operating costs, our overall expenses did not decrease substantially.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $683,915 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $653,401 for the same period of 2023, an increase of $30,514 or 5%. The increase in operating expenses was mainly due to the increase in operating expenses reported from the hotel and Runcangsheng sectors, which was partly offset by decreased operating expenses at our pharmacies.
Loss from Operations
Loss from operations was $621,246 in the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $551,970 in the same period of 2023, an increase of $69,276 or 13%. The increase in our loss from operations for the first quarter of 2024 was primarily due to the increase in the loss at or hotel of approximately $242,000, partially offset by decreases in the operating loss at each of our other segments. Notably, our pharmacies generated a profit from operations in the first quarter of 2024.
Non-operating Income
Non-operating income was $17,646 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $22,643 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had interest income of $114 and other income of $18,802, partly offset by other expenses of $1,270. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had interest income of $289 and other income of $24,861, partly offset by other expenses of $2,507.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $nil and $457 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, a decrease of $457 or 100% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared with the same period of 2023.
Net Loss
Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $603,600, compared to a net loss of $529,784 for the same period of 2023, an increase of $73,816 or 14%. The increase in our net loss was mainly due to increased operating costs and expenses, partly offset by increased sales as explained above, particularly at our hotel where the operating loss increased by nearly $242,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we used $461,451 in operations. As of March 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $305,027 (excluding $35,967 of restricted cash), compared to $443,758 (excluding $23,208 of restricted cash) as of December 31, 2023. At March 31, 2024, we had a working capital deficit of $4,250,016 compared to $4,467,006 at December 31, 2023.

The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Net cash used in operating activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $461,451. This reflects our net loss of $603,600, adjusted by non-cash related expenses including depreciation and amortization expense of $106,299, a bad debt expense of $8,027, an inventory impairment of $9,405, operating lease expenses of $233,070 and stock-based compensation of $92,885, and then decreased by changes in working capital of $307,537. The cash outflow from changes in working capital mainly resulted from increases in other receivables and prepaid expense of $20,080, an increase in accounts receivable of $38,491, an increase in related party receivables of $100,603, an increase in advance to suppliers of $39,498, an increase in inventory of $35,192, and payments of lease liabilities of $325,498, partly offset by cash inflows from accrued liabilities and other payables of $124,299, from taxes payable of $32,823, from accounts payable (net of accounts payable to related parties) of $15,774, and from unearned revenue of $78,999.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $472,681. This reflects our net loss of $529,784, adjusted by non-cash related expenses including depreciation and amortization expense of $104,561, change in deferred tax of $457, bad debt reversal of $43,816, inventory impairment of $18,502, operating lease expense of $210,334 and stock-based compensation of $92,885, and then decreased by changes in working capital of $325,820. The cash outflow from changes in working capital mainly resulted from increases in other receivables and prepaid expense of $50,416, in inventory of $200,787, in accounts payable from related party of $167,209, and in accrued liabilities and other payable of $123,208, and payments of lease liabilities of $186,473, partly offset by cash inflow from accounts receivable of $176,944, cash inflow from advances to suppliers of $49,587, cash inflow from accounts payable of $42,332 and unearned revenue of $192,689.
Net cash used in investing activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $41,053 and $5,181, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in investing activities including $41,053 for the purchase of fixed assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in investing activities included $1,746 for purchase of fixed assets, and $3,435 cash disposed at the termination of a subsidiary due to non-operation.
Net cash provided by financing activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was the result of proceeds from advances from related parties of $383,802. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities were the result of advances from related parties of $437,560.
We generated a $603,600 loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024. It is likely that Runcangsheng will require additional capital to achieve its short term operational goals and long range business plans. Further, we may need additional capital to maintain our other businesses. 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. In the past we have funded our operations through 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.
| 30 |
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 achieve profitable operations. Our future operating results depend on many factors, including demand for our products, 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 our ability 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.
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. 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, the war in the Ukraine and the conflict in Palestine, increases in inflation and other risks detailed herein.
Impact of Inflation
Our results of operations may be affected by inflation, particularly rising prices for 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, we are not party to long term contracts and 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.
Contractual Obligations
We have no long-term fixed contractual obligations or commitments other than leases that are disclosed in Note 12 in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
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.
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 is 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.
| 31 |
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 AiXinZhongHong, Aixin Shangyan Hotel, Aixintang Pharmacies, and Runcangsheng is the 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the bad debt allowance was $87,287 and $80,640, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
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:
Products
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 13% of the gross sales price 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.
| 32 |
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. The products sold in our pharmacies are subject to the VAT of 0%-13% as certain pharmacies qualify for small business exemption.
Manufacture and Sale
The Company’s subsidiary Runcangsheng recognizes revenue at the time products are shipped as this satisfies its performance obligation. 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 VAT. All of the Company’s products sold in China are subject to the PRC VAT of 13% unless it is a qualified small business subject to exemption.
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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management of AiXin Life International, Inc. is responsible for maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. In addition, the disclosure controls and procedures must ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial and other required disclosures.
At March 31, 2024, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) of the Exchange Act was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, they concluded that at March 31, 2024, such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. This was due to our limited resources, including the absence of a financial staff with accounting and financial expertise and deficiencies in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our disclosure controls and that may be considered to be “material weaknesses.”
We plan to designate individuals responsible for identifying reportable developments and to implement procedures designed to remediate the material weakness by focusing additional attention and resources in our internal accounting functions. However, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter which is the subject of this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
