Item 2.01 Completion of an Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On June 8, 2020, CHINA FOODS HOLDIINGS LIMITED (“we”, “us” or the “Company”), executed a Share Exchange Agreement (“the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Elite Creation Group Limited, a private limited company organized under the laws of British Virgin Islands (“ECGL”), and the shareholders of ECGL. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, we purchased Fifty Thousand (50,000) shares of ECGL (the “ECGL Shares”), representing all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ECGL. As consideration, we agreed to issue to the shareholders of ECGL Fifteen Million (15,000,000) shares of our common stock, at a value of US $0.32 per share, for an aggregate value of US $4,800,000. We consummated the acquisition of ECGL on July 9, 2020. It is our understanding that the shareholders of ECGL are not U.S. Persons within the meaning of Regulations S. Accordingly, the Shares are being sold pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Regulation D and Regulation S promulgated thereunder. The foregoing description of the Share Exchange Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
ECGL is a healthcare product distributing and marketing company. As a result of our acquisition of ECGL, we entered into the healthcare product distributing and marketing industry.
Concurrently with the consummation of the acquisition of ECGL, Ms. Yang Liu resigned from her position as our director and Ms. Cheng Ni Hu was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by her resignation.
Prior to the acquisition, the Company was considered as a shell company due to its nominal assets and limited operation. Upon the acquisition, ECGL will comprise the ongoing operations of the combined entity and its senior management will serve as the senior management of the combined entity. ECGL is deemed to be the accounting acquirer for accounting purposes. The transaction will be treated as a recapitalization of the Company. Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Company will become the historical financial statements of ECGL, and the Company’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with ECGL beginning on the acquisition date. ECGL was the legal acquiree but deemed to be the accounting acquirer. The Company was the legal acquirer but deemed to be the accounting acquiree in the reverse merger. The historical financial statements prior to the acquisition are those of the accounting acquirer (ECGL). Historical stockholders’ equity of the accounting acquirer prior to the merger are retroactively restated (a recapitalization) for the equivalent number of shares received in the merger. Operations prior to the merger are those of the acquirer. After completion of the share exchange transaction, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities, the operations and cash flow of the accounting acquirer.

CORPORATE HISTORY
China Foods Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on January 10, 2019. On January 23, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with Trafalgar Resources, Inc., a Utah corporation (PINK:TFLG) (“Trafalgar”), for the purpose of reincorporating from the state of Utah into the state of Delaware. The merger became effective on March 13, 2019, with the Company as the surviving entity. Concurrently, the Company changed its name to China Foods Holdings Ltd. to pursue a new strategy of developing and distributing health related products, including supplements, across the globe with a focus on mainland China, Europe and Australia. On July 9, 2020, we acquired Elite Creation Group Limited, a private limited company organized under the laws of British Virgin Islands (“ECGL”). As a result of our acquisition of ECGL, we entered into the healthcare product distributing and marketing industry.
History
Trafalgar was incorporated under the laws of the state of Utah on October 25, 1972, under the name of Electronic Agricultural Machinery Development Corporation. In 1974, Trafalgar changed its name to Zenith Development Corporation. In 1980, Trafalgar changed its name to Alternative Energy Resources, Inc. In 2004, Trafalgar changed its name to Trafalgar Resources, Inc.
Initially, Trafalgar sought to develop and market inventions, including an asparagus harvester, a hot water saving device and a gas alert signal. Ultimately, none of the inventions were successful and they were abandoned. Trafalgar ceased to conduct any business and has not conducted any business during the last three years. Prior to the Merger, Trafalgar had not commenced operations for several years that had resulted in significant revenue and Trafalgar’s efforts had been devoted primarily to activities related to raising capital and attempting to acquire an operating entity. Trafalgar did not possess any unexpired patents or trademarks and all of its licensing and royalty agreements from the inventions it sought to market in the past have since expired, and are not currently valid.
On May 14, 2004, Traflgar authorized the sale of 5,000,000 shares of unregistered Class “A” Voting Common Stock to the directors and officers of Trafalgar for $40,000, as follows: (i) Anthony Brandon Escobar-4,937,500 shares for $39,500; (iii) Sean Escobar-31,250 shares for $250; and (iii) Anthony Coletti-31,250 shares for $250. This sale of Trafalgar’s common stock was for the purpose of raising operating capital for the Company.
On July 13, 2018, HY (HK) Financial Investments Co., Ltd. A Hong Kong limited company (“HY”) purchased 5,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of Trafalgar for $410,000. Of the Shares, 4,937,500, were acquired from Anthony Escobar, Trafalgar’s former Chief Executive Officer and former Director, 31,250 were acquired from Anthony Coletti, Trafalgar’s former Principal Accounting Officer, former Secretary, former Treasurer, and former Director, and 31,250 were acquired from Sean Escobar, a Trafalgar former Vice President and former Director. The Shares represented approximately 95% of Trafalgar’s issued and outstanding common stock. HY used funds from its working capital to acquire the Shares and the transaction completed on July 13, 2018.
On January 23, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with Trafalgar Resources, Inc., a Utah corporation (PINK:TFLG) (“Trafalgar”), for the purpose of reincorporating from the state of Utah into the state of Delaware. The merger became effective March 13, 2019. Immediately prior to the merger, Trafalgar had issued and outstanding 5,251,309 shares of its common stock. On the effective date of the merger with China Foods, each share of Trafalgar common stock converted into one share of China Foods’s common stock. After the Merger, HY (HK) Financial Investments Co,, Ltd. owns 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, representing approximately 93.57% of our issued and outstanding common stock.
On May 13, 2019, the Company appointed Xiao Jun Kong and Liu Yang as directors of the Company. Also on May 13, 2019, the Company appointed Xiao Jun Kong as its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. With the merger of Trafalgar Resources, Inc. with and into the Company, the Company’s initial director and President, Yunsi Liu, will remain a director and President.

The foregoing description of the purchase contracts with each of Guangzhou Jintong FSMP Co., Ltd. and Heilongjiang Hengyuan Food Co., Ltd. are qualified in its entirety by reference to such contracts, which are filed as Exhibits 10.4 and 10.5 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.
Our Strategies
We are focused on achieving long-term growth in revenues, cash flow and profit. We believe that we can achieve this by developing multiple distribution channels and strengthening our marketing and promotions, leading to better product turnover and revenue. We also expect to broaden our product range as well as product differentiation in the future. Based on the business experience accumulated over the years, we believe we can improve the efficiency of our supply chain with time-saving and cost-saving supply chain management and marketing planning for the target customer base with our one-stop service.
Our primary aims are (i) to strengthen our product saleability; (ii) to cut logistics cost and time spent and (iii) to further expand the market share in China. Toward this end, we plan to pursue the following business strategies:
| ● | Collaborate with third-party e-commerce platforms to boost product exposure, e.g. Tmall, Jingdong mall |
| ● | Deliver healthcare knowledge and consultation service via social media and We-media |
| ● | Build brand image and reputation through customer experience and word of mouth |
| ● | Increase the number of downstream distributors and wholesalers |
| ● | Strengthen the relationship with manufacturers, suppliers, drug agents and distributors |
| ● | Pursue strategic acquisitions and partnerships |
We intend to develop both online and offline distribution channels to increase sales volume and revenue. We expect to partner with third party e-commerce platforms, social media and We-media such as Wechat, TikTok and Xiaohongshu to build our online presence. We believe that online channels will allow us to provide real-time nutrition and healthcare consultation services as well as increase customer engagement and retention. Starting from the second half of 2020, we plan to launch our “nutrition consulting” support services using a major social media software to allow customer groups to receive pre-purchase consultation and after-sales service for products anytime and anywhere.
| 5 |
Our current offline sales channel relies on distributors and sales agents. To enhance the visibility and marketability of our products and services and to improve brand recognition and awareness, we hope to develop store-in-shop and counter experiences. We also intend to partner with high-end gyms to form nutrition clubs and hold weight-loss training camps, health assessment and fitness training camps and other activities.
We intend to create a ‘one-stop’ solution for our customers by creating a multi-channel health product supply and retail system. We not only provide personalized consultation service to our customers, but also summarize and analyze our customer feedback and experiences through our consultation service and after-sales service. We intend to share this data with our manufacturers and supply chain partners to develop products and services that better meet the demands of our customers. By pooling and addressing the needs of downstream businesses and combining it with the Consumer to Manufacturer model for upstream transformation, we anticipate establishing a close relationship between manufacturers and suppliers. We believe this model can also reduce circulation costs and improve the efficiency of our supply chain.
Intellectual Property and Patents
We expect to rely on, packaging designs, trade secrets, copyrights, know-how, trademarks, license agreements and contractual provisions to establish our intellectual property rights and protect our “Xiao Xiang Health “ brand, as well as its related products and services. These legal means, however, afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets or determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.
This is our “Xiao Xiang Health” brand and logo sign
The laws of China and our target countries may not protect our brand and services and intellectual property to the same extent as U.S. laws, if at all. We may be unable to fully protect our intellectual property rights in these countries. Further, companies in the internet, social media technology and other industries may own large numbers of patents, copyrights and trademarks and may frequently request license agreements, threaten litigation or file suit against us based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights.
We intend to seek the widest possible protection for significant product and process developments in our major markets through a combination of copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, patents, confidentiality provisions and procedures and other contractual provisions, if applicable. We anticipate that the form of protection will vary depending upon the level of protection afforded by the particular jurisdiction. We expect that our revenue will be derived principally from our operations in China where intellectual property protection may be limited and difficult to enforce. In such instances, we may seek protection of our intellectual property through measures taken to increase the confidentiality of our findings.
We intend to register trademarks as a means of protecting the brand names of our companies and products. We intend protect our trademarks against infringement and also seek to register design protection where appropriate.
| 6 |
We rely on trade secrets and unpatentable know-how that we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements. We expect that, where applicable, we will require our employees to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of employment with us. We expect these agreements to provide that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the course of the individual’s relationship with us is to be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specific limited circumstances. The agreements will also provide that all inventions conceived by the individual while rendering services to us shall be assigned to us as the exclusive property of our company. There can be no assurance, however, that all persons who we desire to sign such agreements will sign, or if they do, that these agreements will not be breached, that we would have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our trade secrets or unpatentable know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors.
We also devote financial and operational resources to implement systems, processes and technologies to guard against cyber events and to help protect our intellectual property, employee and consumer data and information technology systems against intrusions or other security breaches. In addition, we engage in activities designed to limit the impact of abuse of our digital products and services, including monitoring our games for evidence of exploitation and re-balancing our game environments in the event that such abuse is discovered.

Competition
We operate in a highly competitive and fragmented industry that is sensitive to price and service. We compete with leading e-commerce companies such as Alibaba (China) which may offer substantially the same or similar product offerings as us. We also compete with businesses that focus on particular merchant categories or markets such as UNI HEALTH (HK stock code:02211) and ALI HEALTH (HK stock code:0241). We also compete with traditional cash payments and other popular online shopping websites and apps, and other traditional media companies that provide discounts on products and services. We believe the principal competitive factors in our market include the following:
| ● | Breadth of member base and the products and services featured. |
| ● | Close and fast pre-sales and after-sales service response. |
| ● | Ability to reduce the product turnover time and inventory cost. |
| ● | Relationship and bargaining power with supplier and manufacturer. |
| ● | Healthcare product effectiveness and acceptance from customer. |
| ● | Local presence and understanding of local business trends. |
| ● | Ability to deliver a high volume of relevant services and information to consumers. |
| ● | Ability to produce high purchase rates for products and services among members. |
| ● | Strength and recognition of our brand. |
Although we believe we compete favorably on the factors described above, many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, larger product and services offerings, larger customer base and greater brand recognition. These factors may allow our competitors to benefit from their existing customer base with lower development costs or to respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. These competitors may engage in more extensive research and development efforts, undertake more far-reaching marketing campaigns and adopt more aggressive pricing policies, which may allow them to build a larger customer base more effectively than us. Our competitors may develop products or services that are similar to our products and services or that achieve greater market acceptance than our products and services. In addition, although we do not believe that customer payment terms are a principal competitive factor in our market, they may become such a factor, and we may be unable to compete on such terms.
Government and Industry Regulations
We are subject to the general laws in China governing businesses including labor, occupational safety and health, general corporations, intellectual property and other similar laws.
Product Liability and Consumers Protection
Product liability claims may arise if any of our healthcare products have a harmful effect on a consumer, who may make a claim for damages or compensation as an injured party. The General Principles of the Civil Law of the PRC, which became effective in January 1987, state that manufacturers and sellers of defective products causing property damage or injury shall incur civil liabilities for such damage or injuries.
The Product Quality Law of the PRC was enacted in 1993 and amended in 2000 to strengthen the quality control of products and protect consumers’ rights and interests. Under this law, manufacturers and distributors who produce or sell defective products may be subject to confiscation of earnings from such sales, revocation of business licenses and imposition of fines, and in severe circumstances, may be subject to criminal liability.
| 11 |
The Law of the PRC on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Consumers was promulgated on October 31, 1993 and became effective on January 1, 1994 to protect consumers when they purchase or use goods or services. All business operators must comply with this law when they manufacture or sell goods and/or provide services to customers. In extreme situations, product manufacturers and distributors may be subject to criminal liability if their goods or services lead to the death or injuries of customers or other third parties.
Foreign Currency Exchange
Pursuant to the Foreign Currency Administration Rules promulgated in 1996 and amended in 1997 and various regulations issued by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or the SAFE, and other relevant PRC government authorities, Renminbi is freely convertible only to the extent of current account items, such as trade-related receipts and payments, interests and dividends. Capital account items, such as direct equity investments, loans and repatriation of investment, require the prior approval from the SAFE or its local counterpart for conversion of Renminbi into a foreign currency, such as U.S. dollars, and remittance of the foreign currency outside the PRC.
Payments for transactions that take place within the PRC must be made in Renminbi. Unless otherwise approved, PRC companies other than foreign investment enterprises (FIEs) must convert foreign currency payments they receive from abroad into Renminbi. On the other hand, FIEs may retain foreign currency in accounts with designated foreign exchange banks, subject to a cap set by the SAFE or its local counterpart.
Dividend Distribution
Under the PRC regulations governing dividend distributions by wholly foreign-owned enterprises and Sino-foreign equity joint ventures, wholly foreign-owned enterprises and Sino-foreign equity joint ventures in the PRC may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Additionally, these foreign-invested enterprises are required to set aside certain amounts of their accumulated profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends.
Business License
We have been issued a business license with the appropriate municipal and provincial government which specifically authorizes it to operate its business. The business license, which is subject to annual review by the issuing agency, is current as of the date of this annual report.
Our business operations are subject to regulatory controls governing healthcare food. Thus we are subject to regulation and oversight by different levels of the food and drug administration in the PRC, in particular, the China Food and Drug Administration (“CFDA”). The Law of the PRC on the Administration of Pharmaceuticals , as amended on February 28, 2001, together with its implementation regulations, provides the legal framework for the administration of the production and sale of healthcare products in the PRC and covers the distributing, packaging, pricing and advertising of healthcare products in the PRC. We are also subject to other PRC laws and regulations that regulate the distribution of healthcare food.
Taxation
The current PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), and the implementation regulations for the EIT Law issued by China’s State Council, became effective as of January 1, 2008. Under the EIT Law, enterprises are classified as either resident or non-resident enterprises. An enterprise established outside of China with its “de facto management bodies” located within China is considered a “resident enterprise,” meaning that it can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. The implementing rules of the EIT Law defines a “de facto management body” as a managing body that in practice exercises “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise; however, it remains unclear whether the PRC tax authorities would deem our managing body as being located within China. Due to the relatively short history of the EIT Law and lack of applicable legal precedents, the PRC tax authorities determine the PRC tax resident treatment of entities organized under the laws of foreign jurisdictions on a case-by-case basis.
| 12 |
If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we may be subject to enterprise income tax at a rate of twenty five percent (25%) on our respective worldwide taxable income, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. Second, although the EIT Law provides that “dividends, bonuses and other equity investment proceeds between qualified resident enterprises” is exempted income, and the implementing rules of the EIT Law refer to “dividends, bonuses and other equity investment proceeds between qualified resident enterprises” as the investment proceeds obtained by a resident enterprise from its direct investment in another resident enterprise, it is still unclear whether the dividends we receive from XiaoXiang Health would be classified as “dividends between qualified resident enterprises” and therefore qualify for tax exemption.
If we are treated as a non-resident enterprise under the EIT Law, any dividends that we receive from XiaoXiang Health (assuming such dividends are deemed to be sourced from within the PRC) (i) may be subject to a five percent (5%) PRC withholding tax, provided that we own more than twenty five percent (25%) of the registered capital of XiaoXiang Health incessantly within twelve (12) months immediately prior to obtaining such dividends from XiaoXiang Health, and if the Arrangement between the Mainland of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income (the “Arrangement”) is applicable, or (ii) if the Arrangement does not apply (i.e. the PRC tax authorities may deem us to be a conduit not entitled to treaty benefits), may be subject to a ten percent (10%) PRC withholding tax. Similarly, if we are treated as a non-resident enterprise, and Renovation is treated as a resident enterprise, then any dividends that we receive from Renovation (assuming such dividends were considered sourced within the PRC) may be subject to a ten percent (10%) PRC withholding tax. Any such taxes on dividends could materially reduce the amount of dividends, if any, that we could pay to our shareholders.
Finally, the new “resident enterprise” classification could result in a situation in which a ten percent (10%) PRC tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our investors that are non-resident enterprises so long as such non-resident enterprise investors do not have an establishment or place of business in China or, despite the existence of such establishment of place of business in China, the relevant income is not effectively connected with such establishment or place of business in China, to the extent that such dividends have their sources within the PRC. Similarly, any gain realized on the transfer of our shares by such investors is also subject to a ten percent (10%) PRC income tax if such gain is regarded as income derived from sources within China. In such event, we may be required to withhold a ten percent (10%) PRC tax on any dividends paid to our investors that are non-resident enterprises. Our investors that are non-resident enterprises also may be responsible for paying PRC tax at a rate of ten percent (10%) on any gain realized from the sale or transfer of our common shares in certain circumstances. We would not, however, have an obligation to withhold PRC tax with respect to such gain.
Moreover, the State Administration of Taxation issued the Notice on Strengthening the Administration of Enterprise Income Tax on Share Transfer Income of Non-Resident Enterprises No. 698 (“Circular 698”) on December 10, 2009, which reinforces taxation on transfer of non-listed shares by non-resident enterprises through overseas holding vehicles. Circular 698 applies retroactively and was deemed to be effective as of January 2008. Pursuant to Circular 698, where (i) a foreign investor who indirectly holds equity interest in a PRC resident enterprise through an offshore holding company indirectly transfers equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise by selling the shares of the offshore holding company, and (ii) the offshore holding company is located in a jurisdiction where the effective tax rate is lower than twelve and a half percent (12.5%) or where the offshore income of its residents is not taxable, the foreign investor is required to provide the tax authority in charge of that PRC resident enterprise with certain relevant information within thirty (30) days of the transfer. The tax authorities in charge will evaluate the offshore transaction for tax purposes. In the event that the tax authorities determine that such transfer is abusing forms of business organization and there is no reasonable commercial purpose other than avoidance of PRC enterprise income tax, the tax authorities will have the power to conduct a substance-over-form re-assessment of the nature of the equity transfer. A reasonable commercial purpose may be established when the overall offshore structure is set up to comply with the requirements of supervising authorities of international capital markets. If the State Administration of Taxation’s challenge of a transfer is successful, they will deny the existence of the offshore holding company that is used for tax planning purposes. Since Circular 698 has a brief history, there is uncertainty as to its application.

Seasonality
Our management believes that our operations are not currently subject to seasonal influences.
Regulation Regarding Labor and Social Insurance
Pursuant to the PRC Labor Law and the PRC Labor Contract Law, employers must execute written labor contracts with full-time employees. All employers must comply with local minimum wage standards. Violations of the PRC Labor Contract Law and the PRC Labor Law may result in the imposition of fines and other administrative and criminal liability in the case of serious violations.
In addition, according to the PRC Social Insurance Law and Administration Measures on Housing Fund, employers like our PRC subsidiaries in China must provide employees with welfare schemes covering pension insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, work-related injury insurance, medical insurance, and housing funds.
Employees
As of July 9, 2020, we have the following full time employees:
| Management | 1 | |||
| Sales and procurement | 9 | |||
| Administration / Finance | 3 | |||
| Total | 13 |
All of our employees are located in the PRC. None of our employees are members of a trade union. We believe that we maintain good relationships with our employees and have not experienced any strikes or shutdowns and have not been involved in any labor disputes.
Generally, we enter into a standard employment contract with our officers and managers for a set period of years and a standard employment contract with other employees for a set period of years. According to these contracts, all of our employees are prohibited from engaging in any activities that compete with our business during the period of their employment with us.
Notwithstanding, we are not currently parties to an employment contract with Mr. Kong, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Director. Mr. Kong owns 18,951,000, or approximately 93.57%, of our issued and outstanding common stock. We hope to enter into an employment contract with Mr. Kong as our company matures.
Corporate Information
Our principal executive and registered offices are located at Everbright Center, Suite 3102, 108 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong, telephone number +852-3618-8608.
Near-Term Requirements For Additional Capital
We believe that we will require approximately $1.5 to $2.0 million over the next 18-24 months to implement our business plan of expanding throughout China. For the immediate future, we intend to finance our business expansion efforts through loans from existing shareholders or financial institutions.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following information about these risks, together with the other information contained in this prospectus before making an investment decision. Our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected as a result of any of the following risks. The value of our securities could decline as a result of any of these risks. You could lose all or part of your investment in our securities. Some of the statements in “Risk Factors” are forward looking statements.
Risks Relating to our Business
COVID-19 has had an adverse effect that is material on our business and may continue to do so for the next twelve months.
During March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the rapidly growing coronavirus outbreak to be a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted health and economic conditions throughout China. National, regional and local governments took a variety of actions to contain the spread of COVID-19, including office and store closures or capacity limitations. These developments have caused a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We cannot predict how soon we will be able to resume operations as our ability to resume will depend in part on the actions of a number of governmental bodies over which we have no control. Moreover, once restrictions are lifted, it is unclear how quickly customers will commence operations and resume consuming our products and service, which may be a function of continued concerns over safety and/or depressed consumer sentiment due to adverse economic conditions, including job losses. Considering the significant uncertainty as to when we can resume operations and the uncertain customer demand environment, in addition to the actions described above, we expect to engage in conversations with potential investors to secure additional sources of financing.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions to the Company’s ability to generate revenues and cash flows, and uncertainty regarding the length of the disruption may adversely impact our financial condition and ability to raise additional capital. As part of our business continuity efforts, we reduced expenses broadly, including by furloughing our workforce except a small team of essential personnel, reducing pay and benefits for remaining employees, and cutting back capital spending. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on our ability to have sufficient liquidity until such time as we again generate revenue and profits capable of supporting our ongoing operations, all of which remain highly uncertain at this time.
We have limited or no control over our suppliers and the quality of the products supplied to us. If their performance does not meet our expectations, we could be exposed to liabilities and our business operations and reputation could suffer.
We have limited or no control over their operations and product quality. Our suppliers, including our licensed healthcare food factories, may not be able to provide us with quality products in a timely manner and sufficient quantities at a commercially acceptable price. In addition, our suppliers may not always provide us with products free of defects and that meet our quality standards. If the products provided by our suppliers are defective, of poor quality, or fail to meet our customers’ expectations, we will need to find suitable replacement products, which may lower our profit margins and result in delays to our customers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to find suppliers operating at a standard acceptable to us.
Our suppliers are also subject to extensive laws and regulations. If our suppliers violate applicable laws and regulations, our reputation or procurement may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, we may be exposed to liabilities for defective goods provided by our suppliers and Licensed Food factories, which may damage our reputation.
We may fail to sufficiently and promptly respond to rapid changes in the PRC healthcare industry as a result of PRC government policies and regulations, medical treatment needs and customer preferences, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The PRC healthcare industry is subject to extensive government regulation and supervision, and additional rules and regulations may be implemented in the future. PRC government policies and regulations may lead to, among other things, (i) increased costs and lower profit margins for us, (ii) price controls over our products and (iii) limitations on the types and amount of products that we sell. Any of the above may require us to rapidly adapt our business operations to remain competitive and profitable.
In addition, changes in medical treatment needs may also arise. For example, there may be periodic outbreaks of certain diseases, such as avian flu, or discovery of new diseases, both of which would require the immediate availability of large amounts of corresponding treatment products. As we do not manufacture our own products, we must rely on suppliers to supply us with such products in the quantities and quality that we require. We cannot assure you that we will be able to respond to emerging trends by adjusting our product offerings in a timely manner, or at all.
| 15 |
Furthermore, our customers’ preferences and purchasing patterns with respect to healthcare products may change rapidly. We must identify customer preferences and adapt our product offerings to such preferences in a timely manner. We must also monitor general sales trends, new product developments and other conditions in the PRC healthcare market. Our customers may not respond favourably to our products due to various reasons, including but not limited to, price, perceived shortcomings in safety or efficacy, ineffective marketing or obsolete products. If we are unable to sufficiently and promptly respond and adapt to any of the above circumstances, our competitors may capture significant opportunities with respect to new products and markets or we may have sizable inventories that may be difficult to move and costly to handle. The occurrence of either of these events may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may incur losses and our reputation may be adversely affected by potential product liabilities arising from product defects or recalls or misuse by end-users of certain products that we sell or distribute.
Our business is exposed to risks associated with the sale and distribution of healthcare products, such as selling and distributing unsafe, defective or counterfeit products and product spoilage during transportation or in storage. Under PRC laws and regulations, healthcare product manufacturers have strict liability for substandard or defective products. While we do not manufacture healthcare products, if we promote, sell and distribute such products, our reputation and customers’ perception of our product safety can also be damaged. Further, under PRC laws and regulations, we have the right to recover from the relevant manufacturers any compensation that we are required to make to our customers or end users in connection with a product liability claim. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to recover all or any amount from these manufacturers. In addition, we may be required to recall defective products or take other remedial measures. Furthermore, customers may institute product liability claims against us. Any of these actions could lead to considerable expense, negatively affecting our business and financial performance as a whole.
Product liability claims may arise from defective products, product recalls, insufficient or improper labelling of products, inadequate or misleading warnings or disclosures relating to side effects or improper consumption of the product by end-users. Product liability claims may also arise when in-store nutritionist, who owe a duty to warn the customers, improperly fill prescriptions, issue prescriptions without proper qualifications or provide incorrect or incomplete advice as to usage and potential negative side effects of products. Moreover, because we sell and distribute a large portion of healthcare products under Brands, injuries that occur due to defects or use or misuse of any of our product may result in negative perceptions as to the safety of our product or of our retail nutritionist themselves. Any claims against us, regardless of their merits, could damage our reputation and consumer confidence in our products, and strain our financial resources in addition to consuming the time and attention of our management.
We are susceptible to economic conditions in China where our principal business, assets, suppliers, merchants and customers are located.
Our business and assets are primarily located in China and approximately 100% of our gross revenues are from China. Our results of operations, financial state of affairs and future growth are, to a significant degree, subject to China’s economic, political and legal development and related uncertainties. Our operations and results could be materially affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
| ● | Changes in policies by Chinese government resulting in changes in laws or regulations or the interpretation of laws or regulations; changes in taxation; | |
| ● | changes in employment restrictions; | |
| ● | import duties, and | |
| ● | currency revaluation. |
| 16 |
Our limited operating history may make it difficult for us to accurately forecast our operating results and control our business expense which means we face a high risk of business failure which could result in the loss of your investment.
Our planned expense levels are, and will continue to be, based in part on our expectations, which are difficult to forecast accurately based on our stage of development and factors outside of our control. We may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected developments. Further, business development expenses may increase significantly as we expand operations or make acquisitions. To the extent that any unexpected expenses precede, or are not rapidly followed by, a corresponding increase in revenue, our business, operating results, and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected which could result in the loss of your investment.
Our future performance depends to a significant degree upon the continued service of Xiao Jun Kong, our Chief Financial Officer, President and Director.
We are dependent upon the continued service of Mr. Xiao Jun Kong, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President and Director. The loss of Mr. Xiao Jun Kong or one or more of our other key personnel would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. We believe our future success will also depend in large part upon our ability to attract, retain and further motivate highly skilled management, marketing, sales and product development personnel. We expect to establish an incentive compensation plan for our key personnel to retain their services. We have experienced intense competition for personnel, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our key employees or that we will be successful in attracting, assimilating and retaining personnel in the future.
Our Chief Financial Officer, President and Director, Xiao Jun Kong, is not subject to provisions prohibiting him from competing against the business of the Company, which may lead to an adverse effect on our company.
We are dependent upon the continued service of Mr. Xiao Jun Kong, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President and Director. Mr. Xiao Jun Kong is not subject to non-compete provisions and is permitted to compete against the business of the company. If Mr. Kong elects to separate from the company or otherwise devote his time to establishing a competing business, the loss of Mr. Xiao Jun Kong would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
We may grow our business through acquisitions in the near future, which may result in operating difficulties, dilution, and other harmful consequences.
We expect to achieve our business plan through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions and investments. We periodically evaluate an array of potential strategic transactions and may make one or more acquisitions in the near future. The process of integrating an acquired company, business, or technology may create unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. The areas where we face risks include:
| ● | Implementation or remediation of controls, procedures, and policies at the acquired company; | |
| ● | Diversion of management time and focus from operating our business to acquisition integration challenges; | |
| ● | Cultural challenges associated with integrating employees from the acquired company into our organization; | |
| ● | Retention of employees from the businesses we acquire; | |
| ● | Integration of the acquired company’s accounting, management information, human resource, and other administrative systems; | |
| ● | Liability for activities of the acquired company before the acquisition, including patent and trademark infringement claims, violations of laws, commercial disputes, tax liabilities, and other known and unknown liabilities; | |
| ● | Litigation or other claims in connection with the acquired company, including claims from terminated employees, customers, former stockholders, or other third parties; | |
| ● | In the case of foreign acquisitions, the need to integrate operations across different cultures and languages and to address the particular economic, currency, political, and regulatory risks associated with specific countries; and | |
| ● | Failure to successfully further develop the acquired product, service or technology. |
Our failure to address these risks or other problems encountered in connection with future acquisitions and investments could cause us to fail to realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions or investments, incur unanticipated liabilities, and harm our business generally.
Future acquisitions may also result in dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, or amortization expenses, or write-offs of goodwill, any of which could harm our financial condition. Also, the anticipated benefit of many of our acquisitions may not materialize.

We may not be able to manage our growth effectively.
We have experienced rapid growth since we launched our services in 2017. To manage the further expansion of our business and the growth of our operations and personnel, we need to continuously expand and enhance our infrastructure and technology, and improve our operational and financial systems, procedures, compliance and controls. We also need to expand, train and manage our growing employee base. In addition, our management will be required to maintain and expand our relationships with distributors, advertising customers, and other third parties. We cannot assure you that our current infrastructure, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our expanding operations. If we fail to manage our expansion effectively, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
If we are unable to successfully manage growth, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.
We expect the growth of our business and operations to place significant demands on our management, operational and financial infrastructure. If we do not effectively manage our growth, the quality of our products and services could suffer, which could negatively affect our reputation and operating results. Our expansion and growth in international markets heighten these risks as a result of the particular challenges of supporting a rapidly growing business in an environment of multiple languages, cultures, customs, legal systems, alternative dispute systems, regulatory systems, and commercial infrastructures. To effectively manage this growth, we will need to develop and improve our operational, financial and management controls, and our reporting systems and procedures. These systems enhancements and improvements may require significant capital expenditures and management resources. Failure to implement these improvements could hurt our ability to manage our growth and our financial position.
We may need to raise additional financing to support our operations and future acquisitions, but we cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us when needed. If we are unable to obtain additional financing to meet our needs, our operations may be adversely affected or terminated.
We have limited financial resources. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing to fund our operations in light of factors beyond our control such as the market demand for our securities, the state of financial markets, generally, and other relevant factors. Any sale of our Common Stock in the future may result in dilution to existing stockholders. Furthermore, there is no assurance that we will not incur debt in the future, that we will have sufficient funds to repay any future indebtedness or that we will not default on our future debts, which would thereby jeopardize our business viability. We may not be able to borrow or raise additional capital in the future to meet our needs, which might result in the loss of some or all of your investment in our Common Stock. Even if we do raise sufficient capital and generate revenues to support our operating expenses, there can be no assurance that the revenue will be sufficient to enable us to develop our business to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations or provide a return on investment. In addition, if we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders could be significantly diluted, the newly-issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders and the trading price of our Common Stock could be adversely affected. Further, if we obtain additional debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness, and the terms of the debt securities issued could impose significant restrictions on our operations. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, you may lose your entire investment.
A significant disruption in our computer systems and our inability to adequately maintain and update those systems could adversely affect our operations and our ability to maintain user confidence.
We rely extensively on our computer systems to manage and account for inventory, process user transactions, manage and maintain the privacy of users data, communicate with our vendors and other third parties, service accounts, and summarize and analyze results. We also rely on continued and unimpeded access to the Internet to use our computer systems. Our systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, malicious attacks, security breaches, and catastrophic events. If our systems are damaged or fail to function properly or reliably, we may incur substantial repair or replacement costs, experience data loss or theft and impediments to our ability to manage inventories or process user transactions, engage in additional promotional activities to retain our users, and encounter lost user confidence, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
| 18 |
We continually invest to maintain and update our computer systems. Implementing significant system changes increases the risk of computer system disruption. The potential problems and interruptions associated with implementing technology initiatives, as well as providing training and support for those initiatives, could disrupt or reduce our operational efficiency, and could negatively impact user experience and user confidence.
If our efforts to protect the security of information about our resellers, customers, and other third parties are unsuccessful, we may face additional costly government enforcement actions and private litigation, and our sales and reputation could suffer.
We regularly receive and store information about our resellers, customers, merchants, vendors and other third parties. We have programs in place to detect, contain, and respond to data security incidents. However, because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently and may be difficult to detect for long periods of time, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventive measures. In addition, hardware, software, or applications we develop or procure from third parties or through open source solutions may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise information security. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to gain access to our systems or facilities, or those of third parties with whom we do business, through fraud, trickery, or other forms of deceiving our team members, contractors, and vendors.
To date, we have not encountered significant incidents of data breach or breaches that were material to our consolidated financial statements. If we, our vendors, or other third parties with whom we do business experience significant data security breaches or fail to detect and appropriately respond to significant data security breaches, we could be exposed to government enforcement actions and private litigation. In addition, our users could lose confidence in our ability to protect their information, which could cause them to discontinue using our e-wallets, our digital products, or loyalty programs, or stop shopping with us altogether.
Efforts to protect our intellectual property rights and to defend against claims against us can increase our costs and will not always succeed. Any failures could adversely affect our sales and results of operations or restrict our ability to conduct our business.
Intellectual property rights are important to many aspects of our business. We actively pursue patent protection in our own branded healthcare products, and we expect to pursue intellectual property rights in our other business endeavors as we develop unique solutions to business demands. We, however, may be unable to obtain protection for our intellectual property. Even if protection is obtained, competitors may raise legal challenges to our rights or illegally infringe on our rights, including through means that may be difficult to prevent, detect or defend. In addition, because of the rapid pace of technological change and the confidentiality of patent applications in some jurisdictions, competitors may be issued patents from applications that were unknown to us prior to issuance. The patents of others could reduce the value of our commercial or pipeline of products or, to the extent they cover key technologies on which we have unknowingly relied, require that we seek to obtain licenses at a financial cost to us or cease using the technology, no matter how valuable the patents may be to our business. We cannot assure you we would be able to obtain such licenses on acceptable terms. Also, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets or determine the validity and scope of our and the proprietary rights of others. There is a risk that the outcome of such litigation will not be in our favor. Such litigation may be costly and may divert management attention as well as expend other resources which could otherwise have been devoted to our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair our intellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and would have to bear all costs arising from such litigation to the extent we are unable to recover such costs from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing may harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Finally, implementation of PRC intellectual property-related laws has historically been limited, primarily because of ambiguities in the PRC laws and difficulties in enforcement. Accordingly, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in China may not be as effective as in the United States or other countries, which increases the risk that we may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property.
| 19 |
Other factors can have a material adverse effect on our future profitability and financial condition.
Many other factors can affect our profitability and financial condition, including:
| ● | changes in, or interpretations of, laws and regulations including changes in accounting standards and taxation requirements; | |
| ● | changes in the rate of inflation, interest rates and the performance of investments held by us; | |
| ● | changes in the creditworthiness of counterparties that transact business with; | |
| ● | changes in business, economic, and political conditions, including: war, political instability, terrorist attacks, the threat of future terrorist activity and related military action; natural disasters; the cost and availability of insurance due to any of the foregoing events; labor disputes, strikes, slow-downs, or other forms of labor or union activity; and, pressure from third-party interest groups; | |
| ● | changes in our business and investments and changes in the relative and absolute contribution of each to earnings and cash flow resulting from evolving business strategies, changing product mix, changes in tax rates and opportunities existing now or in the future; | |
| ● | difficulties related to our information technology systems, any of which could adversely affect business operations, including any significant breakdown, invasion, destruction, or interruption of these systems; | |
| ● | changes in credit markets impacting our ability to obtain financing for our business operations; or | |
| ● | legal difficulties, any of which could preclude or delay commercialization of products or technology or adversely affect profitability, including claims asserting statutory or regulatory violations, adverse litigation decisions, and issues regarding compliance with any governmental consent decree. |
We are controlled by Mr. Xiao Jung Kong, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and President, whose interests may differ from other stockholders. In addition, because our Chief Executive Officer also serves as our Chief Financial Officer, the lack of segregation of duties may constitute a weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures which may result in a failure to accurately report our annual or interim financial statements.
Our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and President, Mr. Xiao Jun KONG, beneficially, owns approximately 93.57% of the outstanding shares of our common stock and is our largest single stockholder. Accordingly, Mr. Kong will have significant influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the stockholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of directors and other significant corporate actions. He will also have significant influence in preventing or causing a change in control. In addition, without the consent of Mr. Kong, we may be prevented from entering into certain transactions which may be beneficial to our other stockholders. The interests of Mr. Kong may differ from the interests of the other stockholders.
Our Chief Executive Officer, Xiao Jung Kong, also serves as our Chief Financial Officer. Due to the lack of segregation of duties, there may be a lack of sufficient personnel and resources to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A weakness or deficiency in our disclosure controls and procedures may adversely affect our ability to accurately report and prevent misstatements of our annual or interim financial statements.
We operate in a highly competitive industry, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected if we are unable to compete effectively.
We face intense competition in each of our business segments because both the healthcare retail and distribution industries in the PRC are highly fragmented and competitive. Our key competitors, which include large national and regional retailers and distributors of healthcare products in our target markets, as well as internet-based retailers and distributors, may have substantially greater resources than we do, such as financial, managerial or technical resources or stronger sales or marketing capability, and they may be willing to accept lower profit margins on their products. In addition, the PRC government has removed restrictions prohibiting foreign investors from holding controlling interest in any healthcare product sale and distribution enterprise of a certain operating scale. As a result, more foreign competitors may enter the markets where we currently operate. We cannot assure you that we will be able to distinguish our products from our competitors’, expand our market coverage, build up our brand reputation, or maintain our market share or profit margin in either our retail or distribution business. If we are unable to compete effectively against our existing or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
We have limited business insurance coverage in China
The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products. As a result, we do not have any business liability or disruption insurance coverage for our operations in China. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.
| 20 |
Because our funds are held in banks in the PRC that do not provide insurance, the failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could affect our ability to continue in business.
Banks and other financial institutions in the PRC do not provide insurance for funds held on deposit. A portion of our assets are in the form of cash deposited with banks in the PRC, and in the event of a bank failure, we may not have access to our funds on deposit. Depending upon the amount of money we maintain in a bank that fails, our inability to have access to our cash could impair our operations, and, if we are not able to access funds to pay our suppliers, employees and other creditors, we may be unable to continue in business.
We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We will have operations, agreements with third parties and make sales in Asia, which may experience corruption. Our proposed activities in Asia create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of the employees, consultants, or sales agents of our Company, because these parties are not always subject to our control. It will be our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. Also, our existing practices and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, or sales agents of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.
We expect our revenues to be paid in non-U.S. currencies, and if currency exchange rates become unfavorable, we may lose some of the economic value of the revenues in U.S. dollar terms.
Our operations are conducted in China and our operating currency is the Renminbi. Since we conduct business in currencies other than U.S. dollars but report our financial results in U.S. dollars, we face exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. For instance, if currency exchange rates were to change unfavorably, the U.S. dollar equivalent of our operating income recorded in foreign currencies would be diminished.
We currently do not, but may in the future, implement hedging strategies, such as forward contracts, options, and foreign exchange swaps to mitigate this risk. There is no assurance that our efforts will successfully reduce or offset our exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations. Additionally, hedging programs expose us to risks that could adversely affect our financial results, including the following:
| ● | We have limited experience in implementing or operating hedging programs. Hedging programs are inherently risky and we could lose money as a result of poor trades; | |
| ● | We may be unable to hedge currency risk for some transactions or match the accounting for the hedge with the exposure because of a high level of uncertainty or the inability to reasonably estimate our foreign exchange exposures; | |
| ● | We may be unable to acquire foreign exchange hedging instruments in some of the geographic areas where we do business, or, where these derivatives are available, we may not be able to acquire enough of them to fully offset our exposure; | |
| ● | We may determine that the cost of acquiring a foreign exchange hedging instrument outweighs the benefit we expect to derive from the derivative, in which case we would not purchase the derivative and would be exposed to unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates; | |
| ● | To the extent we recognize a gain on a hedge transaction in one of our subsidiaries that is subject to a high statutory tax rate, and a loss on the related hedged transaction that is subject to a lower rate, our effective tax rate would be higher; and | |
| ● | Significant fluctuations in foreign exchange rates could greatly increase our hedging costs. |
We anticipate increased exposure to exchange rate fluctuations as we expand the breadth and depth of our international sales.
In our financial statements, we translate our local currency financial results into U.S. dollars based on average exchange rates prevailing during a reporting period or the exchange rate at the end of that period. To the extent the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions could result in reduced revenue, operating expenses and net income for our international operations. Similarly, to the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions could result in increased revenue, operating expenses and net income for our international operations.
| 21 |
Because our holding company structure creates restrictions on the payment of dividends, our ability to pay dividends is limited.
We are a holding company whose primary assets are our ownership of the equity interests in our subsidiaries. We conduct no other business and, as a result, we depend entirely upon our subsidiaries’ earnings and cash flow. If we decide in the future to pay dividends, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries and projects may be restricted in their ability to pay dividends, make distributions or otherwise transfer funds to us prior to the satisfaction of other obligations, including the payment of operating expenses or debt service, restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions. If future dividends are paid in the Hong Kong Dollars or the Renminbi, fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of any of these currencies into U.S. dollars may adversely affect the amount received by U.S. stockholders upon conversion of the dividend payment into U.S. dollars. We do not presently have any intention to declare or pay dividends in the future. You should not purchase shares of our common stock in anticipation of receiving dividends in future periods.
It may be difficult for stockholders to enforce any judgment obtained in the United States against us, which may limit the remedies otherwise available to our stockholders.
Substantially all of our assets are located in China. Moreover, our current directors and officers are nationals of China. All or a substantial portion of the assets of this person are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for our stockholders to effect service of process within the United States upon this person. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of China would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or such officers and/or directors predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities law of the United States or any state thereof or be competent to hear original actions brought in China against us or such persons predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
We can provide no assurances as to our future financial performance or the investment result of a purchase of our Common Stock.
Any projected results of operations involve significant risks and uncertainty and should be considered speculative, and depend on various assumptions which may not be correct. The future performance of our Company and the return on our common stock depends on a complex series of events that are beyond our control and that may or may not occur. Actual results for any period may or may not approximate any assumptions that are made and may differ significantly from such assumptions. We can provide no assurance or prediction as to our future profitability or to the ultimate success of an investment in our Common Stock.
Because there is no established public trading market for our common stock, you may experience difficulties in reselling your stock.
We cannot assure you that there will be an established market in the future for our common stock. The trading of securities on OTC Pink is often sporadic and investors may have difficulty buying and selling our shares or obtaining market quotations for them, which may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. You may not be able to sell your shares at their purchase price or at any price at all. Accordingly, you may have difficulty reselling any shares you purchase from the selling security holders.
| 22 |
The market price of our common stock may be volatile, and our stock price may fall below your purchase price at the time you desire to sell your shares of our common stock, resulting in a loss on your investment.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, without limitation:
| ● | actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly and annual operating results, financial condition or asset quality; | |
| ● | changes in general economic or business conditions, both domestically and internationally; | |
| ● | the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve, or in laws and regulations affecting us; | |
| ● | the number of securities analysts covering us; | |
| ● | publication of research reports about us, our competitors, or the financial services industry generally, or changes in, or failure to meet, securities analysts’ estimates of our financial and operating performance, or lack of research reports by industry analysts or ceasing of coverage; | |
| ● | changes in market valuations or earnings of companies that investors deemed comparable to us; | |
| ● | the average daily trading volume of our common stock; | |
| ● | future issuances of our common stock or other securities; | |
| ● | additions or departures of key personnel; | |
| ● | perceptions in the marketplace regarding our competitors and/or us; | |
| ● | significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving our competitors or us; and | |
| ● | other news, announcements or disclosures (whether by us or others) related to us, our competitors, our core market or the financial services industry. |
The stock market and, in particular, the market for financial institution stocks have experienced significant fluctuations in recent years. In many cases, these changes have been unrelated to the operating performance and prospects of particular companies. In addition, significant fluctuations in the trading volume in our common stock may cause significant price variations to occur. Increased market volatility may materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock, which may make it difficult for you to resell your shares at the volume, prices and times desired.
Future issuances of our common stock could dilute current stockholders or adversely affect the market.
Our business plan contemplates expanding our operations through acquisitions which may involve significant issuances of our common stock. Future issuances of our common stock may be at values substantially below the price paid by the current holders of our common stock. In addition, common stock could be issued to fend off unwanted tender offers or hostile takeovers without further stockholder approval. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or even just the prospect of such sales, could depress the prevailing price of our common stock and our ability to raise equity capital in the future. Additionally, large share issuances would generally have a negative impact on our share price. It is possible that, due to additional share issuance, you could lose a substantial amount, or all, of your investment. In addition, if a trading market develops for our common stock, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material.
We will be subject to the “penny stock” rules which will adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock.
In the event that our shares are traded, and our stock trades below $5.00 per share, our stock would be known as a “penny stock”, which is subject to various regulations involving disclosures to be given to you prior to the purchase of any penny stock. The U.S. SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Depending on market fluctuations, our common stock could be considered to be a “penny stock”. A penny stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established members and accredited investors. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of these securities. In addition, he must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. He must also provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities, and may negatively affect the ability of holders of shares of our common stock to resell them. These disclosures require you to acknowledge that you understand the risks associated with buying penny stocks and that you can absorb the loss of your entire investment. Penny stocks are low priced securities that do not have a very high trading volume. Consequently, the price of the stock is often volatile and you may not be able to buy or sell the stock when you want to. These rules also limit the ability of broker-dealers to solicit purchases of our Common Stock and therefore reduce the liquidity of the public market for our shares should one develop.
| 23 |
The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses that could adversely impact investors in our stock.
Company management believes that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
| ● | Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; | |
| ● | Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; | |
| ● | “Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by sales persons; | |
| ● | Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and | |
| ● | Wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses. |
It is not likely that we will pay dividends on the Common Stock or any other class of stock.
We intend to retain any future earnings for the operation and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our Common Stock, or any other class of stock, in the foreseeable future. Stockholders should look solely to appreciation in the market price of our common shares to obtain a return on investment.
Investing in our Company is highly speculative and could result in the entire loss of your investment.
An investment in our shares is highly speculative and involves significant risk. Our shares should not be purchased by any person who cannot afford to lose their entire investment. Our business objectives are also speculative, and it is possible that we would be unable to accomplish them. Our shareholders may be unable to realize a substantial or any return on their purchase of the offered shares and may lose their entire investment. For this reason, each prospective purchaser of the offered shares should read this prospectus and all of its exhibits carefully and consult with their attorney, business and/or investment advisor.
The audit report included in this annual report is prepared by an auditor who is not inspected by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and, as such, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection.
Our independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit reports included in our annual reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as auditors of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”), is required by the laws of the United States to undergo regular inspections by the PCAOB to assess its compliance with the applicable laws of the United States and professional standards. Because our auditor is located in the People’s Republic of China, a jurisdiction where the PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections and access critical accounting records without the approval of the Chinese authorities, our auditor is not currently inspected by the PCAOB. Inspections conducted by the PCAOB outside of China have identified deficiencies in those firms’ audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality and prevent accounting irregularities. This lack of PCAOB inspections in China prevents the PCAOB from regularly evaluating audit documentation located in China and its related quality control procedures. As a result, investors may be deprived of the benefits of PCAOB inspections. In a joint public statement on April 21, 2020, the Chairman of the SEC, the Chairman of the PCAOB, SEC Chief Accountant and Directors of the SEC Divisions of Corporation Finance and Investment Management reminded market participants that this inability of the PCAOB to inspect the audit work and practices of PCAOB-registered accounting firms in China (including Hong Kong, to the extent their audit clients have operations in China) represented a significant risk to both investors and finance professionals.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that the Delaware Court of Chancery will be the sole and exclusive forum for certain disputes between us and our respective stockholders, which could limit the ability of our stockholders to choose the judicial forum for certain proceedings relating to us.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that the Delaware Court of Chancery, subject to our consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, will be the sole and exclusive forum for:
● any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us;
● any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our director or officer to us, or our stockholders;
● any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the amended certificate of incorporation or bylaws of New Media or Gannett, as applicable; and
● any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine as such doctrine exists under the law of the State of Delaware.
These forum selection provisions may limit the ability of our stockholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable or cost-efficient for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims.
Our forum selection provision is not intended to apply to claims arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. To the extent the provision could be construed to apply to such claims, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the provision in such respect, and our stockholders cannot waive our compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Risk Related to Doing Business in China
Adverse changes in economic and political policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China, which could adversely affect our business.
All of our business operations are currently conducted in the PRC, under the jurisdiction of the PRC government. Accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition and prospects are subject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. China’s economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including with respect to the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, and control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. While the PRC economy has experienced significant growth in the past 20 years, growth has been uneven across different regions and among various economic sectors of China. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic development and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall PRC economy, but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us.
There is no guarantee that more measures will be introduced, and if these trade policies come into force and the scope of them is further expanded, the volume of China-U.S. import and export trade would drop significantly, which will lead to deterioration in economic conditions of both countries and decrease of business and official activities between both countries.
Unprecedented rapid economic growth in China may increase our costs of doing business, and may negatively impact our profit margins and/or profitability.
Our business depends in part upon the availability of relatively low-cost labor and materials. Rising wages in China may increase our overall costs of production. In addition, rising raw material costs, due to strong demand and greater scarcity, may increase our overall costs of production. If we are not able to pass these costs on to our customers in the form of higher prices, our profit margins and/or profitability could decline
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.
We believe 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 Article 177 is a recently promulgated provision and, 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 applicable trading market within the US.
We may suffer currency exchange losses if the RMB depreciates relative to the US Dollar.
Our reporting currency is the US Dollar. However, substantially all of our revenues are denominated in RMB. In July 2005, China changed its exchange rate regime by establishing a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies. The RMB is no longer officially pegged to the US dollar, and the exchange rate will have some flexibility. Despite fluctuations in the exchange rate in 2016, the floating exchange rate regime is stable. If the RMB depreciates relative to the US Dollar, our revenues as expressed in our US Dollar financial statements will decline in value and if the RMB appreciates relative to the US Dollar, our revenues as expressed in our US Dollar financial statements will increase in value. There are very limited hedging transactions available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. While we may decide to enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these hedges may be limited and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure, if at all. In addition, our currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into US Dollars.
| 25 |
Labor laws in the PRC may adversely affect our results of operations.
On January 1, 2008, the PRC government promulgated the Labor Contract Law of the PRC, or the New Labor Contract Law. The New Labor Contract Law imposes greater liabilities on employers and significantly impacts the cost of an employer’s decision to reduce its workforce. Further, it requires certain terminations to be based upon seniority and not merit. In the event we decide to significantly change or decrease our workforce, the New Labor Contract Law could adversely affect our ability to enact such changes in a manner that is most advantageous to our business or in a timely and cost effective manner, thus materially and adversely affecting our financial condition and results of operations.
Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment
The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. We receive all our revenues in RMB. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from the SAFE or its local branch is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and can be remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions.
The PRC legal system embodies uncertainties which could limit the legal protections available to us and you, or could lead to penalties on us.
The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which decided legal cases have little precedential value. In 1979, the PRC Government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation over the past 25 years has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investment in mainland China. Our PRC operating subsidiary, GuangZhou Xiao Xiang Health Industry Company Limited, a wholly foreign-owned enterprises (“WFOEs”), is subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in the PRC in general and laws and regulations applicable to WFOEs in particular.
It may be difficult to enforce any civil judgments against us or our board of directors or officers, because most of our operating and/or fixed assets are located outside of the United States.
Although we are incorporated in the State of Delaware, all of our operating and fixed assets are located in the PRC. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce judgments outside the United States obtained in actions brought against us in the United States, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or of the securities laws of any state of the United States. In addition, our directors and officers (principally based in the PRC) and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon those directors and officers, or to enforce against them or us judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or of the securities laws of any state of the United States. We have been advised by our PRC counsel that, in their opinion, there is doubt as to the enforceability in the PRC, in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of United States courts, of civil liabilities predicated solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state of the United States.
Because our assets are located overseas, shareholders may not receive distributions that they would otherwise be entitled to if we were declared bankrupt or insolvent.
Because all of our assets are located in the PRC, they may be outside of the jurisdiction of U.S. courts to administer if we are the subject of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding. As a result, if we declared bankruptcy or insolvency, our shareholders may not receive the distributions on liquidation that they would otherwise be entitled to if our assets were to be located within the U.S., under U.S. Bankruptcy law.

History
Trafalgar was incorporated under the laws of the state of Utah on October 25, 1972, under the name of Electronic Agricultural Machinery Development Corporation. In 1974, Trafalgar changed its name to Zenith Development Corporation. In 1980, Trafalgar changed its name to Alternative Energy Resources, Inc. In 2004, Trafalgar changed its name to Trafalgar Resources, Inc.
Initially, Trafalgar sought to develop and market inventions, including an asparagus harvester, a hot water saving device and a gas alert signal. Ultimately, none of the inventions were successful and they were abandoned. Trafalgar ceased to conduct any business and has not conducted any business during the last three years. Prior to the Merger, Trafalgar had not commenced operations for several years that had resulted in significant revenue and Trafalgar’s efforts had been devoted primarily to activities related to raising capital and attempting to acquire an operating entity. Trafalgar did not possess any unexpired patents or trademarks and all of its licensing and royalty agreements from the inventions it sought to market in the past have since expired, and are not currently valid.
On May 14, 2004, Traflgar authorized the sale of 5,000,000 shares of unregistered Class “A” Voting Common Stock to the directors and officers of Trafalgar for $40,000, as follows: (i) Anthony Brandon Escobar-4,937,500 shares for $39,500; (iii) Sean Escobar-31,250 shares for $250; and (iii) Anthony Coletti-31,250 shares for $250. This sale of Trafalgar’s common stock was for the purpose of raising operating capital for the Company.
On July 13, 2018, HY (HK) Financial Investments Co., Ltd. A Hong Kong limited company (“HY”) purchased 5,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of Trafalgar for $410,000. Of the Shares, 4,937,500, were acquired from Anthony Escobar, Trafalgar’s former Chief Executive Officer and former Director, 31,250 were acquired from Anthony Coletti, Trafalgar’s former Principal Accounting Officer, former Secretary, former Treasurer, and former Director, and 31,250 were acquired from Sean Escobar, a Trafalgar former Vice President and former Director. The Shares represented approximately 95% of Trafalgar’s issued and outstanding common stock. HY used funds from its working capital to acquire the Shares and the transaction completed on July 13, 2018.

On January 23, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with Trafalgar Resources, Inc., a Utah corporation (PINK:TFLG) (“Trafalgar”), for the purpose of reincorporating from the state of Utah into the state of Delaware. The merger became effective March 13, 2019. Immediately prior to the merger, Trafalgar had issued and outstanding 5,251,309 shares of its common stock. On the effective date of the merger with China Foods, each share of Trafalgar common stock converted into one share of China Foods’s common stock. After the Merger, HY (HK) Financial Investments Co, Ltd. owns 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, representing approximately 93.57% of our issued and outstanding common stock.
On May 13, 2019, the Company appointed Xiao Jun Kong and Liu Yang as directors of the Company. Also on May 13, 2019, the Company appointed Xiao Jun Kong as its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. With the merger of Trafalgar Resources, Inc. with and into the Company, the Company’s initial director and President, Yunsi Liu, will remain a director and President.
Acquisition of ECGL
On June 8, 2020, CHINA FOODS HOLDIINGS LIMITED (“we”, “us” or the “Company”), executed a Share Exchange Agreement (“the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Elite Creation Group Limited, a private limited company organized under the laws of British Virgin Islands (“ECGL”), and the shareholders of ECGL. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, we purchased Fifty Thousand (50,000) shares of ECGL (the “ECGL Shares”), representing all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ECGL. As consideration, we agreed to issue to the shareholders of ECGL Fifteen Million (15,000,000) shares of our common stock, at a value of US $0.32 per share, for an aggregate value of $4,800,000. We consummated the acquisition of ECGL on July 9, 2020.
ECGL is a healthcare product distributing and marketing company. As a result of our acquisition of ECGL, we entered into the healthcare product distributing and marketing industry.
Financial Condition
Results of Operations
We have been significantly impacted by COVID-19 global pandemic. In addition to the devastating effects on human life, the pandemic is having a negative ripple effect on the global economy, leading to disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets. China and many other countries have issued policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease.
COVID-19 and China’s response to the pandemic are significantly affecting the economy. There are no comparable events that provide guidance as to the effect the COVID-19 pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate effect of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the effects on the economy, the markets we serve, our business or our operations.
The following table sets forth certain operational data for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

Revenue. We generated revenues of $35,021 and $413,090 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The significant decrease is due to temporary business closedown amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in China in the first quarter of 2020.

G&A as a percentage of net revenue was approximately 389.74% and 36.55% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following accounting policies are critical in the preparation of our financial statements.
| ● | Basis of presentation |
These accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
| ● | Use of estimates and assumptions |
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenues and expenses during the period reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
| ● | Basis of consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.
| ● | Accounts receivable |
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from completion of service. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition, the customer credit-worthiness and their payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. At the end of fiscal year, the Company specifically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the collection of accounts receivables. The Company will consider the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
| 33 |
| ● | Revenue recognition |
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, a performance obligation is a promise within a contract to transfer a distinct good or service, or a series of distinct goods and services, to a customer. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied and the customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for goods or services. Under the standard, a contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps:
| ● | 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. |
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of their healthcare products upon delivery to the customers, whereas the title and risk of loss are fully transferred to the customers. The Company records its revenues, net of value added taxes (“VAT”). The Company is subject to VAT which is levied on the majority of the products at the rate of 17% on the invoiced value of sales.
| ● | Foreign currencies translation |
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollar (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s operating subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Seychelles maintain their books and record in its local currency, Hong Kong Dollars (“S$”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “ Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at avered age rates prevailing during the year. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of changes in stockholder’s equity.
| ● | Leases |
The Company adopted Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), using the modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment and utilizing the effective date of January 1, 2019 as its date of initial application, with prior periods unchanged and presented in accordance with the previous guidance in Topic 840, Leases (“ASC 840”).
At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, lease liabilities and long-term lease liabilities. The Company has elected not to recognize on the balance sheet leases with terms of one year or less. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. However, certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as prepaid or accrued lease payments. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rates, which are the rates incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.
In accordance with the guidance in ASC 842, components of a lease should be split into three categories: lease components (e.g. land, building, etc.), non-lease components (e.g. common area maintenance, consumables, etc.), and non-components (e.g. property taxes, insurance, etc.). Subsequently, the fixed and in-substance fixed contract consideration (including any related to non-components) must be allocated based on the respective relative fair values to the lease components and non-lease components.
| 34 |
Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Lease expense includes amortization of the ROU assets and accretion of the lease liabilities. Amortization of ROU assets is calculated as the periodic lease cost less accretion of the lease liability. The amortized period for ROU assets is limited to the expected lease term.
The Company has elected a practical expedient to combine the lease and non-lease components into a single lease component. The Company also elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption and does not establish ROU assets or lease liabilities for operating leases with terms of 12 months or less.
| ● | Recent accounting pronouncements |
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
Accounting Standards Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”) in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous generally accepted accounting principles. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize a lease liability for future lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet for most lease arrangements. The new standard also changes many key definitions, including the definition of a lease. The new standard includes a short-term lease exception for leases with a term of 12 months or less, as part of which a lessee can make an accounting policy election not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will continue to differentiate between finance leases (previously referred to as capital leases) and operating leases using classification criteria that are substantially similar to the previous guidance in ASC 840.
ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those periods) and early adoption is permitted. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases, Targeted Improvements, which provides a new transition option in which an entity initially applies ASU 2016-02 at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption. Prior period comparative balances will not be adjusted. The Company used the new transition option and was also utilizing the package of practical expedients that allows it to not reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. We also used the short-term lease exception for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Additionally, the Company used the practical expedient that allowed each separate lease component of a contract and the associated non-lease components to be treated as a single lease component. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our discretion and the renewal to extend the lease terms are not included in the Company’s Right-Of-Use assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The Company will evaluate the renewal options and when they are reasonably certain of exercise, the Company will include the renewal period in its lease term. As of the January 1, 2019, effective date the Company identified one finance lease arrangement in which it is a lessee.
In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Company applied an individual discount rate for each of its leases, and determined the appropriate discount rate based on the remaining lease terms at the date of adoption. As the lessee to several lease agreements, the Company did not have insight into the relevant information that would be required to arrive at the rate implicit in the lease. Therefore, the Company utilized its outstanding borrowings as a benchmark to determine the incremental borrowing rate for its leases. The benchmark rate was adjusted to arrive at an appropriate discount rate for each lease.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”), which expands the scope of Compensation – Stock Compensation (“Topic 718”) to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. This amendment applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on January 1, 2019. The impact was immaterial to the financial statements.
| 35 |
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-08, Not-For-Profit Entities – Clarifying the Scope and the Accounting Guidance for Contributions Received and Contributions Made (“ASU 2018-08”). ASU 2018-08 clarifies how an entity determines whether a resource provider is participating in an exchange transaction by evaluating whether the resource provider is receiving commensurate value in return for the resources transferred. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods, and has been adopted on a modified prospective basis. The modified prospective adoption is applied to agreements that are not completed as of the effective date, or entered into after the effective date. Under the modified prospective adoption approach, prior period results have not been restated and no cumulative-effect adjustment has been recorded. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.
Accounting Standards Issued, Not Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This ASU requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets. ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this standard on its financial statements. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact this will have on the financial statements.
In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASU 2018-18”), which clarifies the interaction between ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Certain transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under ASC 606 when the counterparty is a customer. In addition, ASU 2018-18 precludes an entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. ASU 2018-18 should be applied retrospectively to the date of initial application of ASC 606. This guidance is effective for interim and fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact this will have on the financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires certain changes to be made prospectively, with some changes to be made retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
Currently, our executive directors and officers do not receive compensation for services provided in such capacities. We anticipate providing cash compensation for services in the future to our executive officers and directors. We expect to establish an incentive compensation plan as our company matures. We expect that our executive compensation philosophy will be to create a long-term direct relationship between pay and our performance. Our executive compensation program will be designed to provide a balanced total compensation package over the executive’s career with us. The compensation program objectives will be to attract, motivate and retain the qualified executives that help ensure our future success, to provide incentives for increasing our profits by awarding executives when corporate goals are achieved and to align the interests of executives and long-term stockholders. We expect the compensation package of our named executive officers to consist of the following main elements:
| 1. | base salary for our executives that is competitive relative to the market, and that reflects individual performance, retention and other relevant considerations; | |
| 2. | incentive compensation consisting of stock options, restricted stock and the like; and | |
| 3. | discretionary bonus awards payable in cash and or securities of the Company tied to the satisfaction of corporate objectives. |
Process for Setting Executive Compensation
As we do not have Compensation Committee, our Board will be responsible for developing and overseeing the implementation of our philosophy with respect to the compensation of executives and for monitoring the implementation and results of the compensation philosophy to ensure compensation remains competitive, creates proper incentives to enhance stockholder value and rewards superior performance. The Board will annually review and approve for each named executive officer, and particularly with regard to the Chief Executive Officer, all components of the executive’s compensation. The Board may award discretionary bonuses to each of the named executives, and reviews and approves the process and factors (including individual and corporate performance measures and actual performance versus such measures) used by the Chief Executive Officer to recommend such awards. Additionally, the Board will review and approve the base salary, equity-incentive awards (if any) and any other special or supplemental benefits of the named executive officers.
| 39 |
We expect out Chief Executive Officer to periodically provide the Board with an evaluation of each named executive officer’s performance, based on the individual performance goals and objectives developed by the Chief Executive Officer at the beginning of the year, as well as other factors. The Board will provide an evaluation for the Chief Executive Officer. These evaluations will serve as the bases for bonus recommendations and changes in the compensation arrangements of our named executives.
Our Compensation Peer Group
We expect to engage in informal market analysis in evaluating our executive compensation arrangements. As the Company and its businesses mature, we may retain compensation consultants that will assist us in developing a formal benchmark and selecting a compensation peer group of companies similar to us in size or business for the purpose of comparing executive compensation levels.
Program Components
We expect our executive compensation program to consist of the following elements:
Base Salary
Our base salary structure will be designed to encourage internal growth, attract and retain new talent, and reward strong leadership that will sustain our growth and profitability. The base salary for each named executive officer will reflect our past and current operating profits, the named executive officer’s individual contribution to our success throughout his career, internal pay equity and informal market data regarding comparable positions within similarly situated companies. In determining and setting base salary, the Board will consider all of these factors, though it will not assign specific weights to any factor. The Board will generally review the base salary for each named executive officer on an annual basis. For each of our named executive officers, we expect to review base salary data internally obtained by the Company for comparable executive positions in similarly situated companies to ensure that the base salary rate for each executive is competitive relative to the market.
Discretionary Bonus
The objectives of our bonus awards will be to encourage and reward our employees, including the named executive officers, who contribute to and participate in our success by their ability, industry, leadership, loyalty or exceptional service and to recruit additional executives who will contribute to that success.
Each of our named executive officers will be eligible for consideration for a discretionary cash bonus. The Chief Executive Officer will make recommendations regarding bonus awards for the named executive officers and the Board provides the bonus recommendation for the Chief Executive Officer. However, the Board/Compensation Committee will have sole and final authority and discretion in designating to whom awards are made, the size of the award, if any, and its terms and conditions. The bonus recommendation for each of the named executive officers depends on a number of factors, including (i) the performance of the Company for the year, (ii) the satisfaction of certain individual and corporate performance measures, and (iii) other factors which the Board may deem relevant. The Company did not award any cash bonuses during fiscal year 2019.
Stock Holdings
The Board recognizes the importance of having a portion of the named executive officers’ compensation be paid in the form of equity, to help align the executives’ interests with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. Initially, we expect the Board to emphasize the cash-based portion of our compensation program over a stock program because it believes the discretionary nature of the cash-based compensation gives it the needed flexibility to factor in and reward the attainment of longer-term goals for the Company and the executives, as the Board deems appropriate.
We have not timed nor do we plan to time our release of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, we did not provide compensation to any of our employee directors for serving as our director. We currently have no formal plan for compensating our employee directors for their services in their capacity as directors, although we may elect to issue stock options to such persons from time to time. Directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our board of directors. Our board of directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on our behalf other than services ordinarily required of a director.
Non-Employee Director Fees
Our Board determines the form and amount of compensation for our non-employee directors based on informal surveys of similar companies and the amount necessary to attract and retain such directors. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, we paid each of our non-employee directors as follows:
| Name | Fees
earned or paid in ($) | Stock awards ($) | Option
awards ($) | Non-equity
incentive plan compensation ($) | Change in pension value and nonqualified deferred compensation earnings | All
other compensation ($) | Total ($) | |||||||||||||||||||||
| (a) | (b) | (c) | (d) | (e) | (f) | (g) | (h) | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Yunsi LIU (1) | $ | 12,000 | – | – | – | – | – | $ | 12,000 | |||||||||||||||||||
| (1) | Ms. Liu was appointed to her position on our Board of Directors effective January 15, 2019. |
* All fees were paid in United States Dollars.
Directors who are residents of China do not receive compensation. Ms. Liu, our director who is a U.S. resident, receives a quarterly retainer in the amount of $2,000 in accordance with the terms of a Director Retainer Agreement effective from January 1, 2020. All directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our Board of Directors. Our Board may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on our behalf other than services ordinarily required of a director. The foregoing description of the Director Retainer Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Director Retainer Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.6 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.
Compensation Risk Management
Our Board of directors and human resources staff conducted an assessment of potential risks that may arise from our compensation programs. Based on this assessment, we concluded that our policies and practices do not encourage excessive and unnecessary risk taking that would be reasonably likely to have material adverse effect on the Company. Our compensation programs are substantially identical among business units and corporate functions. The risk-mitigating factors considered in this assessment included:
| ● | the alignment of pay philosophy, peer group companies and compensation amounts relative to local competitive practices to support our business objectives; and | |
| ● | effective balance of cash, short- and long-term performance periods, caps on performance-based award schedules and financial metrics with individual factors and Board and management discretion. |
| 42 |
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
We have not yet established a Compensation Committee. Our Board of Directors performs the functions that would be performed by a compensation committee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, none of our executive officers has served: (i) on the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our board of directors; (ii) as a director of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of the registrant; or (iii) as a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served as a director of the company.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Other than as disclosed below, there are no transactions during our two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, or any currently proposed transaction, in which our Company was or to be participant and the amount exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our Company’s total assets at year end for our last two completed years, and in which any of our directors, officers or principal stockholders, or any other related person as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K, had or have any direct or indirect material interest.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the consulting fee of $12,000 was paid to Ms. Yunsi Liu, our director.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, all the twelve notes owed to Trafalgar’s former president were waived. An aggregated principal and interest of $350,547 were waived, while the former president drew down the cash of $13,392.
From time to time, Xiao Jun Kong, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President and Director, advanced funds to the Company for working capital purposes. Those advances are unsecured, non-interest bearing and had no fixed terms of repayment. As of March 31, 2020, and 2019, $1,230,111 and $1,230,111 was outstanding, respectively. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, $1,230,111 and $1,230,111 was outstanding, respectively.
We have not adopted policies or procedures for approval of related person transactions but review them on a case-by-case basis. We believe that all related party transactions were on terms at least as favorable as we would have secured in arm’s-length transactions with third parties. Except as set forth above, we have not entered into any material transactions with any director, executive officer, and promoter, beneficial owner of five percent or more of our common stock, or family members of such persons.
Director Independence
Our board of directors currently consists of Xiao Jun KONG, our Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer, Yunsi LIU and Cheng Ni HU. Mr. Kong does not qualify as an independent director under the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market or the NYSE. As of the date hereof, we have not adopted a standard of independence nor do we have a policy with respect to independence requirements for our board members or that a majority of our board be comprised of “independent directors.”
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not a party to any legal or administrative proceedings that we believe, individually or in the aggregate, would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. We may from time to time become a party to various legal or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. There are no pending legal proceedings in which any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of the Company, is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following is a description of the material provisions of our capital stock, as well as other material terms of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. We refer you to our \ Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to this report.
| 44 |
Common Stock
We are authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a nominal par value of $0.0001.
Dividend Rights
Subject to preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of outstanding shares of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available if our board of directors, in its discretion, determines to issue dividends and only then at the times and in the amounts that our board of directors may determine.
Voting Rights
Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Under our Certificate of Incorporation, stockholders do not have the right to cumulate votes for the election of directors.
No Preemptive or Similar Rights
Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions.
Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions
Upon our dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders are distributable ratably among the holders of our common stock, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the preferential rights and payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock.
Preferred Stock
We are not currently authorized to issue shares of preferred stock. Our Certificate of Incorporation however, allows our board of directors to authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock in the event that shares of preferred stock are authorized in the future. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. We have no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.
Options and Warrants
As of the date of this Report, we had no outstanding options to purchase shares of our common stock.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
Our transfer agent is Colonial Stock Transfer Co., Inc, located at 66 Exchange Place, 1st floor, Salt Lake City, UT 84111, telephone number 801-355-5740.
Anti-takeover Provisions
Some of the provisions of Delaware law, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws may have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another person from acquiring control of our company or removing our incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection against an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging such proposals. Among other things, negotiation of such proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
| 45 |
Our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws provide that:
| ● | Board of Directors Vacancies. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws authorize only our board of directors to fill vacant directorships, including newly created seats. In addition, the number of directors constituting our board of directors is permitted to be set only by a resolution adopted by a majority vote of our entire board of directors. These provisions would prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and then gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. This makes it more difficult to change the composition of our board of directors but promotes continuity of management. | |
| ● | Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations. Our Bylaws provide advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders. Our Bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions might preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders if the proper procedures are not followed. We expect that these provisions might also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company. | |
| ● | Special Meeting of Stockholders. Our Bylaws provide that a special meeting may be called by the Board, the chairman of the Board of Directors, the chief executive officer, the president or the Board of Directors or by the secretary of the Corporation upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than one-third percent (33-1/2%) of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting stating the purpose of such meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at such meeting. | |
| ● | Stockholder Action. Our Bylaws provide that any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if a consent in writing is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote were present and voted. | |
| ● | No Cumulative Voting. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting. | |
| ● | Bylaws Amendments Without Stockholder Approval. Our Bylaws provide that a majority of the authorized number of directors will generally have the power to adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws without stockholder approval; | |
| ● | Broad Indemnity; Advancement of Expenses. We are permitted to indemnify directors and officers against losses that they may incur in investigations and legal proceedings resulting from their services to us, which may include services in connection with takeover defence measures. We are also permitted to advance payments to directors and officers prior to final disposition so long as such directors or officers provide an undertaking to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction that such director or officer is not entitled to indemnification. These provisions may make it more difficult to remove directors and officers and delay a change in control of our management. |
Delaware Anti-Takeover Provisions
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) prohibits public companies from entering into a business combination (including a merger, sale of assets or transfer of stock) with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the person becomes an interested stockholder, unless certain conditions apply. An “interested stockholder” is defined as a person or group of persons who beneficially acquire 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation. Section 203 does not apply if the corporation’s board of directors preapproves the transaction by which a stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, or if the subsequent business combination with an interested stockholder is authorized at a stockholder meeting by two-thirds of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock (excluding the stock held by the interested stockholder). Further, a stockholder who acquires 85% or more of the voting stock of a corporation (excluding stock held by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans) in the first transaction in which it becomes an interested stockholder is not subject to the three-year waiting period for any subsequent business combination.
| 46 |
A Delaware corporation may amend its certificate of incorporation to “opt out” of Section 203’s anti-takeover protection. The amendment must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote, in addition to any other vote required by law, and it must be effected before any stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, such amendment will not take effect until twelve months after its adoption.
Because we do not have a class of voting stock that is listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders, the restrictions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law do not apply to us. We intend, however, to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to elect not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL to facilitate potential future business combinations regardless of whether such business combinations are with interested stockholders.
Forum Selection
Our certificate of incorporation provides that the Delaware Court of Chancery, subject to our consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, will be the sole and exclusive forum for:
● any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us;
● any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our director or officer to us, or our stockholders;
● any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the amended certificate of incorporation or bylaws of New Media or Gannett, as applicable; and
● any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine as such doctrine exists under the law of the State of Delaware.
These forum selection provisions may limit the ability of our stockholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable or cost-efficient for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims.
Our forum selection provision is not intended to apply to claims arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. To the extent the provision could be construed to apply to such claims, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the provision in such respect, and our stockholders cannot waive our compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Our Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Consequently, our directors are not personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability:
| ● | for any breach of their duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders; | |
| ● | for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; | |
| ● | unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or | |
| ● | for any transaction from which they derived an improper personal benefit. |
Any amendment to or repeal of these provisions will not eliminate or reduce the effect of these provisions in respect of any act, omission, or claim that occurred or arose prior to that amendment or repeal. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of directors of corporations, then the personal liability of our directors will be further limited to the greatest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was one of our directors or officers or is or was serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise. Our Bylaws provide that we may indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was one of our employees or agents or is or was serving at our request as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise.
We intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that are broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. These indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and executive officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service. These indemnification agreements may also require us to advance all expenses incurred by the directors and executive officers in investigating or defending any such action, suit, or proceeding. We believe that these agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and executive officers.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws or in any indemnification agreements may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions. At present, we are not aware of any pending litigation or proceeding involving any person who is or was one of our directors, officers, employees, or other agents or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, for which indemnification is sought, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.
We expect to obtain insurance policies under which, subject to the limitations of the policies, coverage is provided to our directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of fiduciary duty or other wrongful acts as a director or officer, including claims relating to public securities matters, and to us with respect to payments that may be made by us to these officers and directors pursuant to our indemnification obligations or otherwise as a matter of law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

ELITE CREATION GROUP LIMITED
INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| F-1 |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Director and Shareholders of
Elite Creation Group Limited
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Elite Creation Group Limited and Subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ 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 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2019, the Company has suffered from working capital deficit. These factors create an uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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 include 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.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
| ● | Accounts receivables |
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from completion of service. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition, the customer credit-worthiness and their payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility. At the end of fiscal year, the Company specifically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the collection of accounts receivables. The Company will consider the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts.
| ● | Inventories |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value (net realizable value), cost being determined on a first-in-first-out method. Costs include material and manufacturing overhead costs. The Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not record an allowance for obsolete inventories, nor have there been any write-offs.
| ● | Plant and equipment |
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
| Expected useful lives | Residual value | |||||
| Furniture, fixture and equipment | 3 years | 5 | % | |||
| Motor vehicle | 3.33 to 4 years | 5 | % | |||
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
| ● | Intangible assets |
Intangible assets represented trademarks of their products and are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any recognized impairment loss. Amortization is provided over the term of their registrations on a straight-line basis, which is 10 years and will expire in 2028.
Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $208 and $56, respectively.
| ● | Impairment of long-lived assets |
In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as plant and equipment, as well as intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. There has been no impairment charge for the years presented.

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
| ● | Revenue recognition |
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, a performance obligation is a promise within a contract to transfer a distinct good or service, or a series of distinct goods and services, to a customer. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied and the customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for goods or services. Under the standard, a contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps:
| ● | 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. |
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of their healthcare products upon delivery to the customers, whereas the title and risk of loss are fully transferred to the customers. The Company records its revenues, net of value added taxes (“VAT”). The Company is subject to VAT which is levied on the majority of the products at the rate of 17% on the invoiced value of sales. The Company experienced no product returns and recorded no reserve for sales returns for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
| ● | Cost of revenue |
Cost of revenue consists primarily of the cost of goods sold and freight charges, which are directly attributable to the sales and delivery of products.
| ● | Income taxes |
The Company adopted the ASC 740 Income tax provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13.
The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.
| ● | Uncertain tax positions |
The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the ASC 740 provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
| ● | Foreign currencies translation |
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollar (“US$”) and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company is operating in Hong Kong SAR and the People’s Republic of China and maintain its books and record in its local currency, Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) and Renminbi (“RMB”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “ Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of changes in stockholder’s equity.
Translation of amounts from HK$ and RMB into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:
| December 31, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | |||||||
| Year-end HK$:US$ exchange rate | 0.12842 | 0.12769 | ||||||
| Annual average HK$:US$ exchange rate | 0.12764 | 0.12760 | ||||||
| Year-end RMB:US$ exchange rate | 0.14354 | 0.14538 | ||||||
| Annual average RMB:US$ exchange rate | 0.14478 | 0.15133 | ||||||
| ● | Comprehensive income |
ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.
| ● | Retirement plan costs |
Contributions to retirement plans (which are defined contribution plans) are charged to general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operation as the related employee service is provided.
| ● | Leases |
The Company adopted Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), using the modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment and utilizing the effective date of January 1, 2019 as its date of initial application, with prior periods unchanged and presented in accordance with the previous guidance in Topic 840, Leases (“ASC 840”).
At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, lease liabilities and long-term lease liabilities. The Company has elected not to recognize on the balance sheet leases with terms of one year or less. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. However, certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as prepaid or accrued lease payments. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rates, which are the rates incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018
(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
In accordance with the guidance in ASC 842, components of a lease should be split into three categories: lease components (e.g. land, building, etc.), non-lease components (e.g. common area maintenance, consumables, etc.), and non-components (e.g. property taxes, insurance, etc.). Subsequently, the fixed and in-substance fixed contract consideration (including any related to non-components) must be allocated based on the respective relative fair values to the lease components and non-lease components.
Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Lease expense includes amortization of the ROU assets and accretion of the lease liabilities. Amortization of ROU assets is calculated as the periodic lease cost less accretion of the lease liability. The amortized period for ROU assets is limited to the expected lease term.
The Company has elected a practical expedient to combine the lease and non-lease components into a single lease component. The Company also elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption and does not establish ROU assets or lease liabilities for operating leases with terms of 12 months or less.
| ● | Related parties |
The Company follows the ASC 850-10, Related Party for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to section 850-10-20 the related parties include a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal 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; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
| ● | Commitments and contingencies |
The Company follows the ASC 450-20, Commitments to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
| ● | Fair value of financial instruments |
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are described below:
| Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. | |
| Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. | |
| Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
| ● | Recent accounting pronouncements |
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
Accounting Standards Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”) in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous generally accepted accounting principles. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize a lease liability for future lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet for most lease arrangements. The new standard also changes many key definitions, including the definition of a lease. The new standard includes a short-term lease exception for leases with a term of 12 months or less, as part of which a lessee can make an accounting policy election not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will continue to differentiate between finance leases (previously referred to as capital leases) and operating leases using classification criteria that are substantially similar to the previous guidance in ASC 840.

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those periods) and early adoption is permitted. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases, Targeted Improvements, which provides a new transition option in which an entity initially applies ASU 2016-02 at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption. Prior period comparative balances will not be adjusted. The Company used the new transition option and was also utilizing the package of practical expedients that allows it to not reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. We also used the short-term lease exception for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Additionally, the Company used the practical expedient that allowed each separate lease component of a contract and the associated non-lease components to be treated as a single lease component. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our discretion and the renewal to extend the lease terms are not included in the Company’s Right-Of-Use assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The Company will evaluate the renewal options and when they are reasonably certain of exercise, the Company will include the renewal period in its lease term. As of the January 1, 2019, effective date the Company identified one finance lease arrangement in which it is a lessee.
In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Company applied an individual discount rate for each of its leases, and determined the appropriate discount rate based on the remaining lease terms at the date of adoption. As the lessee to several lease agreements, the Company did not have insight into the relevant information that would be required to arrive at the rate implicit in the lease. Therefore, the Company utilized its outstanding borrowings as a benchmark to determine the incremental borrowing rate for its leases. The benchmark rate was adjusted to arrive at an appropriate discount rate for each lease.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”), which expands the scope of Compensation – Stock Compensation (“Topic 718”) to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. This amendment applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on January 1, 2019. The impact was immaterial to the financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-08, Not-For-Profit Entities – Clarifying the Scope and the Accounting Guidance for Contributions Received and Contributions Made (“ASU 2018-08”). ASU 2018-08 clarifies how an entity determines whether a resource provider is participating in an exchange transaction by evaluating whether the resource provider is receiving commensurate value in return for the resources transferred. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods, and has been adopted on a modified prospective basis. The modified prospective adoption is applied to agreements that are not completed as of the effective date, or entered into after the effective date. Under the modified prospective adoption approach, prior period results have not been restated and no cumulative-effect adjustment has been recorded. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.
Accounting Standards Issued, Not Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This ASU requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets. ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this standard on its financial statements. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact this will have on the financial statements.
In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASU 2018-18”), which clarifies the interaction between ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Certain transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under ASC 606 when the counterparty is a customer. In addition, ASU 2018-18 precludes an entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. ASU 2018-18 should be applied retrospectively to the date of initial application of ASC 606. This guidance is effective for interim and fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact this will have on the financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires certain changes to be made prospectively, with some changes to be made retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
3. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has suffered from a working capital deficit of $30,433 at December 31, 2019. In addition, with respect to the ongoing and evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, which was designated as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, the outbreak has caused substantial disruption in international economies and global trades and if repercussions of the outbreak are prolonged, could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s business.
The continuation of the Company as a going concern through December 31, 2020 is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders. Management believes the Company is currently pursuing additional financing for its operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain the operations.
These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

All of the Company’s vendors are located in the People’s Republic of China.
(c) Credit risk
Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
(d) Economic and political risk
The Company’s major operations are conducted in the People’s Republic of China. Accordingly, the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, as well as the general state of PRC’s economy may influence the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
(e) Exchange rate risk
The Company cannot guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady; therefore there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount of profit for two comparable periods and because of the fluctuating exchange rate actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of RMB converted to US$ on that date. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in political and economic environments without notice.
16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has no material commitments or contingencies.
17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020 AND 2019
(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”))
(Unaudited)
| ● | Accounts receivables |
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from completion of service. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition, the customer credit-worthiness and their payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility. At the end of fiscal year, the Company specifically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the collection of accounts receivables. The Company will consider the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts.
| ● | Inventories |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value (net realizable value), cost being determined on a first-in-first-out method. Costs include material and manufacturing overhead costs. The Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did not record an allowance for obsolete inventories, nor have there been any write-offs.
| ● | Plant and equipment |
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
| Expected useful lives | Residual value | |||||
| Furniture, fixture and equipment | 3 years | 5 | % | |||
| Motor vehicle | 3.33 to 4 years | 5 | % | |||
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $16,126 and $7,793, respectively.
| ● | Intangible assets |
Intangible assets represented trademarks of their products and are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any recognized impairment loss. Amortization is provided over the term of their registrations on a straight-line basis, which is 10 years and will expire in 2028.
Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $120 and $39, respectively.
| ● | Impairment of long-lived assets |
In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as plant and equipment, as well as intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. There has been no impairment charge for the periods presented.

| ● | Revenue recognition |
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, a performance obligation is a promise within a contract to transfer a distinct good or service, or a series of distinct goods and services, to a customer. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied and the customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for goods or services. Under the standard, a contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps:
| ● | 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. |
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of their healthcare products upon delivery to the customers, whereas the title and risk of loss are fully transferred to the customers. The Company records its revenues, net of value added taxes (“VAT”). The Company is subject to VAT which is levied on the majority of the products at the rate of 17% on the invoiced value of sales. The Company experienced no product returns and recorded no reserve for sales returns for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
| ● | Income taxes |
The Company adopted the ASC 740 Income tax provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13.
The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.
| ● | Uncertain tax positions |
The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the ASC 740 provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

| ● | Foreign currencies translation |
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollar (“US$”) and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company is operating in Hong Kong SAR and the People’s Republic of China and maintain its books and record in its local currency, Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) and Renminbi (“RMB”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “ Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of changes in stockholder’s equity.
Translation of amounts from HK$ and RMB into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:
| 2020 | 2019 | |||||||
| Period-end HK$:US$ exchange rate | 0.12899 | 0.12738 | ||||||
| Period average HK$:US$ exchange rate | 0.12869 | 0.12745 | ||||||
| Period-end RMB:US$ exchange rate | 0.14109 | 0.14901 | ||||||
| Period average RMB:US$ exchange rate | 0.14327 | 0.14823 | ||||||
| ● | Comprehensive income |
ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.
| ● | Leases |
The Company adopted Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), using the modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment and utilizing the effective date of January 1, 2019 as its date of initial application, with prior periods unchanged and presented in accordance with the previous guidance in Topic 840, Leases (“ASC 840”).
At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, lease liabilities and long-term lease liabilities. The Company has elected not to recognize on the balance sheet leases with terms of one year or less. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. However, certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as prepaid or accrued lease payments. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rates, which are the rates incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

(Unaudited)
In accordance with the guidance in ASC 842, components of a lease should be split into three categories: lease components (e.g. land, building, etc.), non-lease components (e.g. common area maintenance, consumables, etc.), and non-components (e.g. property taxes, insurance, etc.). Subsequently, the fixed and in-substance fixed contract consideration (including any related to non-components) must be allocated based on the respective relative fair values to the lease components and non-lease components.
Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Lease expense includes amortization of the ROU assets and accretion of the lease liabilities. Amortization of ROU assets is calculated as the periodic lease cost less accretion of the lease liability. The amortized period for ROU assets is limited to the expected lease term.
The Company has elected a practical expedient to combine the lease and non-lease components into a single lease component. The Company also elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption and does not establish ROU assets or lease liabilities for operating leases with terms of 12 months or less.
| ● | Related parties |
The Company follows the ASC 850-10, Related Party for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to section 850-10-20 the related parties include a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal 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; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
| ● | Commitments and contingencies |
The Company follows the ASC 450-20, Commitments to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

(Unaudited)
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
| ● | Fair value of financial instruments |
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are described below:
| Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. | |
| Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. | |
| Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
| ● | Recent accounting pronouncements |
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Accounting Standards Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”) in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous generally accepted accounting principles. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize a lease liability for future lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet for most lease arrangements. The new standard also changes many key definitions, including the definition of a lease. The new standard includes a short-term lease exception for leases with a term of 12 months or less, as part of which a lessee can make an accounting policy election not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will continue to differentiate between finance leases (previously referred to as capital leases) and operating leases using classification criteria that are substantially similar to the previous guidance in ASC 840.
ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those periods) and early adoption is permitted. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases, Targeted Improvements, which provides a new transition option in which an entity initially applies ASU 2016-02 at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption. Prior period comparative balances will not be adjusted. The Company used the new transition option and was also utilizing the package of practical expedients that allows it to not reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. We also used the short-term lease exception for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Additionally, the Company used the practical expedient that allowed each separate lease component of a contract and the associated non-lease components to be treated as a single lease component. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our discretion and the renewal to extend the lease terms are not included in the Company’s Right-Of-Use assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The Company will evaluate the renewal options and when they are reasonably certain of exercise, the Company will include the renewal period in its lease term. As of the January 1, 2019, effective date the Company identified one finance lease arrangement in which it is a lessee.
In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Company applied an individual discount rate for each of its leases, and determined the appropriate discount rate based on the remaining lease terms at the date of adoption. As the lessee to several lease agreements, the Company did not have insight into the relevant information that would be required to arrive at the rate implicit in the lease. Therefore, the Company utilized its outstanding borrowings as a benchmark to determine the incremental borrowing rate for its leases. The benchmark rate was adjusted to arrive at an appropriate discount rate for each lease.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”), which expands the scope of Compensation – Stock Compensation (“Topic 718”) to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. This amendment applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on January 1, 2019. The impact was immaterial to the financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-08, Not-For-Profit Entities – Clarifying the Scope and the Accounting Guidance for Contributions Received and Contributions Made (“ASU 2018-08”). ASU 2018-08 clarifies how an entity determines whether a resource provider is participating in an exchange transaction by evaluating whether the resource provider is receiving commensurate value in return for the resources transferred. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods, and has been adopted on a modified prospective basis. The modified prospective adoption is applied to agreements that are not completed as of the effective date, or entered into after the effective date. Under the modified prospective adoption approach, prior period results have not been restated and no cumulative-effect adjustment has been recorded. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Accounting Standards Issued, Not Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This ASU requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets. ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this standard on its financial statements. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact this will have on the financial statements.
In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASU 2018-18”), which clarifies the interaction between ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Certain transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under ASC 606 when the counterparty is a customer. In addition, ASU 2018-18 precludes an entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. ASU 2018-18 should be applied retrospectively to the date of initial application of ASC 606. This guidance is effective for interim and fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact this will have on the financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires certain changes to be made prospectively, with some changes to be made retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ELITE CREATION GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020 AND 2019
(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”))
(Unaudited)
All of the Company’s vendors are located in the People’s Republic of China.
(c) Credit risk
Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
(d) Economic and political risk
The Company’s major operations are conducted in the People’s Republic of China. Accordingly, the political, economic, and legal environments in PRC, as well as the general state of PRC’s economy may influence the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
(e) Exchange rate risk
The Company cannot guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady; therefore there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount of profit for two comparable periods and because of the fluctuating exchange rate actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of RMB converted to US$ on that date. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in political and economic environments without notice.

Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of ECGL will become the historical financial statements of ECGL, and CFOO’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with ECGL beginning on the acquisition date.

EXHIBIT A
INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
This Indemnity Agreement (“Agreement”) is effective as of July 7, 2020, by and between China Foods Holdings Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Yunsi Liu (“Indemnitee”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities.
WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company require indemnification of the officers and Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company and the DGCL expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the Board, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification;
WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified.
WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; and
WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve as a director without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity. Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that he be so indemnified;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:
Section 1. Services to the Company. Indemnitee agrees to serve as a director of the Company. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law), in which event the Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue to allow Indemnitee to serve as a director. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise) and Indemnitee. Indemnitee specifically acknowledges that Indemnitee may be removed as a director at any time for any reason, with or without cause, in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws, the DGCL and any agreement between Company and Indemnitee. The foregoing notwithstanding, this Agreement shall continue in force after Indemnitee has ceased to serve as a director of the Company.

During any period of two (2) consecutive years (not including any period prior to the execution of this Agreement), individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in Sections 2(a)(i), 2(a)(iii) or 2(a)(iv)) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a least a majority of the members of the Board;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

Section 3. Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Section 4. Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. No indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or any court in which the Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification.
Section 5. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

If the Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding, the Company also shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a claim, issue or matter related to any claim, issue, or matter on which the Indemnitee was successful. For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.
| 7 |
Section 6. Indemnification For Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.
Section 7. Additional Indemnification.
(a) Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4, or 5, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or a participant in any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding.
(b) For purposes of Section 7(a), the meaning of the phrase “to the fullest extent permitted by law” shall include, but not be limited to:
(i) to the fullest extent permitted by the provision of the DGCL that authorizes or contemplates additional indemnification by agreement, or the corresponding provision of any amendment to or replacement of the DGCL; and
(ii) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of the DGCL adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a corporation may indemnify its officers and directors.
Section 8. Exclusions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:
(a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except (i) to the extent that amounts are thereafter “clawed back” or otherwise under dispute and (ii) as may be otherwise agreed upon by the Company in writing;
(b) for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; or
(c) in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized the Proceeding (or any part of the Proceeding) prior to its initiation (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law or (iii) such Proceeding is initiated by Indemnitee to enforce his rights under this Agreement.
| 8 |
Section 9. Advances of Expenses. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall advance the expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time (which shall include invoices received by Indemnitee in connection with such Expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditures made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall not be so included), whether prior to or after final disposition of any Proceeding. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. Advances shall include any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing an action to enforce this right of advancement, including Expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to support the advances claimed. The Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and delivery to the Company of this Agreement which shall constitute an undertaking providing that the Indemnitee undertakes to repay the advance to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. This Section 9 shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 8.
Section 10. Procedure for Notification and Defense of Claim.
(a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, not later than thirty (30) days after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding. The failure by Indemnitee to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee hereunder or under any other agreement (including, without limitation, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws), and any delay in so notifying the Company shall not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of any rights hereunder, except to the extent (solely with respect to the indemnity hereunder) that such failure or delay materially prejudices the Company. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.
(b) The Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense.
Section 11. Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification.
(a) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 10(a), a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (ii) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, (B) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, (C) if there are no such Disinterested Directors or, if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (D) if so directed by the Board, by the stockholders of the Company; and, if it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.
(b) In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 11(b). If a Change in Control shall not have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within twenty (20) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Court or by such other person as the Court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 11(a) hereof. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 13(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).
| 9 |
Section 12. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.
(a) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 10(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption. Neither the failure of the Company (including by its directors or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or independent legal counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
(b) If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 11 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 12(b) shall not apply (i) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement and if (A) within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company of the request for such determination the Board has resolved to submit such determination to the stockholders for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within seventy-five (75) days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of stockholders is called within fifteen (15) days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within sixty (60) days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat or (ii) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement.
(c) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
(d) Reliance as Safe Harbor. For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 12(d) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.
(e) Actions of Others. The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.
| 10 |
Section 13. Remedies of Indemnitee.
(a) In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement within forty-five (45) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 5 or 6 or the last sentence of Section 11(a) of this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, (v) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 3, 4 or 7 of this Agreement is not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or (vi) the Company or any other person or entity takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court, selected pursuant to Section 22, to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator through the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”). Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 13(a); provided, however, that the foregoing clause shall not apply in respect of a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his rights under Section 5 of this Agreement. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.
(b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 the Company shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be.
(c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.
(d) The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefore) advance such Expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advancement of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be.
| 11 |
Section 14. Non-exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation.
(a) The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.
(b) To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, or agents of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, employee or agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.
(c) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.
(d) The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable (or for which advancement is provided hereunder) hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise except (i) to the extent that amounts are thereafter “clawed back” or otherwise under dispute and (ii) as may be otherwise agreed upon by the Company in writing.
(e) The Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.

PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, INVENTIONS AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT
This PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, INVENTIONS and NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 7, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), by and between China Foods Holdings Ltd., a Delaware corporation (“Corporation”) and Yunsi Liu (“Director”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the parties desire to assure the confidential status and proprietary nature of the information which may be disclosed by Corporation to the Director; and
AGREEMENT ..
NOW THEREFORE, in reliance upon and in consideration of the following undertaking, the parties agree as follows:
| 1. | Nondisclosure. |
1.1 Recognition of Corporation’s Rights; Nondisclosure. At all times during the period of time Director serves as a member of the board of directors of the Corporation (“Service Period”) and provides the necessary and requested services in such capacity (“Services”), Director will hold in strictest confidence and will not disclose, use, lecture upon or publish any of the Corporation’s Proprietary Information (defined below), except as such disclosure, use or publication may be required in connection with Service to the Corporation, or unless the Corporation expressly authorizes such disclosure in writing. Director will obtain Corporation’s written approval before publishing or submitting for publication any material (written, verbal, or otherwise) that relates to Services and/or incorporates any Proprietary Information. Director hereby assigns to the Corporation any rights Director may have or acquire in such Proprietary Information and recognizes that all Proprietary Information shall be the sole property of the Corporation and its assigns.
1.2 Proprietary Information. The term “Proprietary Information” shall mean any and all confidential and/or proprietary knowledge, data or information of the Corporation, including that which Director may produce in service to the Corporation. By way of illustration but not limitation, “Proprietary Information” includes (a) trade secrets, inventions, mask works, ideas, processes, formulas, source and object codes, data, programs, other works of authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs and techniques (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Inventions”); and (b) information regarding plans for research, development, new products, marketing and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements, pricing strategies, licenses, prices and costs, suppliers and customers; and (c) information regarding the skills and compensation of other service providers of the Corporation.
1.3 Third Party Information. Director understands, in addition, that the Corporation has received and in the future will receive from third parties, including clients, customers, consultants, licensees or affiliates, confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”). Director understands that the Corporation has a duty to maintain the confidentiality of such Third Party Information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. During the Service Period and thereafter, Director will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose Third Party Information to anyone (other than Corporation personnel who need to know such information in connection with their work for the Corporation) or use Third Party Information (except in connection with the performance of Director’s Services for the Corporation), unless expressly authorized by the Corporation in writing.
1.4 No Improper Use of Information of Prior Employers and Others. During the Service Period, Director will not improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former or current employer or any other person to whom Director has an obligation of confidentiality, and Director will not bring onto the Corporation premises any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former or current employer or any other person to whom Director has an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by that former or current employer or person. In the performance of his duties, Director will only use information which is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to his own, which is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain, or which is otherwise provided or developed by the Corporation.
| 15 |
| 2. | Assignment of Inventions. |
2.1 Proprietary Rights. The term “Proprietary Rights” shall mean all trade secrets, patent, copyright, mask work and other intellectual property rights throughout the world.
2.2 Prior Inventions. Inventions, if any, patented or unpatented, which Director made prior to the commencement of the Service Period are excluded from the scope of this Agreement. To preclude any possible uncertainty, Director has set forth on Attachment B (Previous Inventions) attached hereto a complete list of all Inventions that Director has or caused to be (alone or jointly with others) conceived, developed or reduced to practice prior to the commencement of the Service Period, that Director considers to be his property or the property of third parties and that Director wishes to have excluded from the scope of this Agreement (collectively referred to as “Prior Inventions”). If such disclosure would cause Director to violate any prior confidentiality agreement, Director shall not list such Prior Inventions in Attachment B but only disclose a cursory name for each such Invention, a listing of the party(ies) to whom it belongs and the fact that full disclosure as to such inventions has not been made for that reason. A space is provided on Attachment B for such purpose. If no such disclosure is attached, Director represents that there are no Prior Inventions. If, during the Service Period, Director incorporates a Prior Invention into a Corporation product, process or machine, the Corporation is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to make, have made, modify, use and sell such Prior Invention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Director agrees that he will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, Prior Inventions in any Corporation Inventions without the Corporation’s prior written consent.
2.3 Assignment of Inventions. Subject to Sections 2.4 and 2.6, Director hereby assigns, and agrees to assign in the future when any such Inventions or Proprietary Rights are first reduced to practice or first fixed in a tangible medium, as applicable, to the Corporation all right, title and interest in and to any and all Inventions (and all Proprietary Rights with respect thereto) whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by Director, either alone or jointly with others, during the Service Period. Inventions assigned to the Corporation, or to a third party as directed by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 2, are hereinafter referred to as “Corporation Inventions.”
2.4 Non-assignable Inventions. This Agreement does not apply to an Invention which the Director developed entirely on his or her own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either:
| ● | Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the Company’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company; or | |
| ● | Result from any Services performed by the Director for the Company. |
2.5. Limited Exclusion Notification. Director has reviewed the notification on Attachment A (Limited Exclusion Notification) and agrees that his signature acknowledges receipt of the notification.
2.6 Obligation to Keep Corporation Informed. During the Service Period, and for twelve (12) months after termination of the Service Period, Director will fully disclose in writing to the Corporation all Inventions authored, conceived or reduced to practice by Director, either alone or jointly with others, within no more than thirty (30) days after creation. In addition, Director will disclose to the Corporation all patent applications filed within a year after termination of the Service Period by Director, or on his behalf, within no more than thirty (30) days after filing. At the time of each such disclosure, Director will advise the Corporation in writing of any Inventions that he believes fully qualify for exemption under Section 2.4 of this Agreement, and Director will, at that time, provide all written evidence necessary to substantiate that belief. The Corporation will keep in confidence and will not use for any purpose or disclose to third parties without Director’s consent any confidential information disclosed in writing to the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement relating to Inventions that qualify fully for exemption under the provisions of Section 2.4 of this Agreement. Director will preserve the confidentiality of any Invention that does not fully qualify for exemption under Section 2.4 of this Agreement.
| 16 |
2.7 Works for Hire. Director acknowledges that all original works of authorship which are made by Director (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of Service and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” pursuant to United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101) and shall be the sole property of the Corporation.
2.8 Enforcement of Proprietary Rights. Director will assist the Corporation, or its nominee, to obtain and enforce United States and foreign Proprietary Rights relating to Corporation Inventions in any and all countries, and such Proprietary Rights and Corporation Inventions shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Corporation, or its nominee, whether or not patented or copyrighted. Accordingly, Director will promptly execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including appearances as a witness and assistance or cooperation in legal proceedings) as the Corporation may reasonably request in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and the assignment thereof. This obligation shall survive and continue beyond the termination of the Service Period, but the Corporation shall compensate Director at a reasonable rate after his termination for the time actually spent providing such assistance.
2.9 Appointment of Corporation as Agent. If, after reasonable effort, the Corporation is unable to secure Director’s signature on any document needed in connection with the actions specified herein, Director hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Corporation and its duly authorized officers and agents as Director’s agents and attorneys-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and in Director’s behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of this Agreement with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Director. Director hereby waives and quitclaims to the Corporation any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which Director now or may hereafter have for infringement of any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to the Corporation.
| 3. | Records. |
Director agrees to keep and maintain adequate and current records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and in any other form that may be required by the Corporation) of all Proprietary Information developed by Director and all Inventions made by Director during the Service Period, which records shall be available to and remain the sole property of the Corporation at all times.
| 4. | Non-Competition Obligation. |
Director agrees that during the Service Period, Director will not provide any services or engage in any employment or business activity which is competitive with, or would otherwise conflict with, Director’s Service to the Corporation, without the Corporation’s express written consent. Director agrees further that during the Service Period and for two (2) years after the termination of the Service Period, Director will not, either directly or through others, use trade secret information of the Company to solicit or attempt to solicit any customer, vendor, employee, independent contractor or consultant of the Corporation to terminate his or her relationship with the Corporation in order to become a customer, vendor, employee, consultant or independent contractor to or for any other person or entity including, without limitation, Director.
| 5. | Non-Solicitation With the Corporation. |
Director covenants and agrees that, for a period of two (2) years following termination of the Service Period, Director will not use trade secret information of the Corporation to solicit or engage in competitive business with Corporation’s existing or potential vendors or customers at the time of his separation from the Corporation and Director will not encourage or solicit any customer, vendor, employee or consultant to leave the Corporation for any reason.
| 6. | No Conflicting Obligation. |
Director represents that his performance of all the terms of this Agreement and as a Director to the Corporation does not and will not breach any agreement to keep information acquired by Director prior to the Service Period in confidence or trust. Director has not entered into, and agrees he will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict herewith.
| 7. | Return of Corporation Documents. |
Upon termination of the Service Period, Director will deliver to the Corporation any and all drawings, notes, memoranda, specifications, devices, formulas, and documents, together with all copies thereof, and any other material containing, comprising or disclosing any Corporation Inventions, Proprietary Information and Third Party Information. Director further agrees that any property situated on the Corporation’s premises and owned by the Corporation, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by the Corporation at any time with or without notice. Prior to leaving, Director will cooperate with the Corporation in completing and signing the Corporation’s termination statement, which will include, at a minimum, the certifications set forth in Attachment C.
| 8. | Legal and Equitable Remedies. |
Because Director’s services are personal and unique and because Director may have access to and become acquainted with the Proprietary Information of the Corporation, the Corporation shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Corporation may have for a breach of this Agreement.
| 17 |
| 9. | Notices. |
Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given to the appropriate party at the address specified below or at such other address as the party shall specify in writing. Such notice shall be deemed given upon personal delivery to the appropriate address or, if sent by certified or registered mail, three (3) days after the date of mailing.
| 10. | General Provisions. |
10.1 Governing Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction; Attorney’s Fees. This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The Corporation and Director hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”), and not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, and (iii) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court and (iv) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.
10.2 Severability. If one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. If, moreover, any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear.
10.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon Director’s heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives and will be for the benefits of the Corporation, its successors, and its assigns.
10.4 Survival. Director agrees that the provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Service Period and the assignment of this Agreement by the Corporation to any successor-in-interest or other assignee, regardless of the reason or reasons for termination and whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary.
10.5 Nature of Relationship. This Agreement shall not be deemed nor does it create an employment contract between the Corporation (or any of its subsidiaries or related companies) and Director. Director is an independent contractor and shall not be deemed an employee of the Corporation for purposes of employee benefits, income tax withholding, F.I.C.A. taxes, unemployment benefits or any other purpose. Director’s term of service is defined in Section 7 of the Director Retainer Agreement between Director and the Company signed concurrently herewith.
10.6 Waiver. No waiver by the Corporation of any breach of this Agreement shall be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach. No waiver by the Corporation of any right under this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any other right. The Corporation shall not be required to give notice to enforce strict adherence to all terms of this Agreement.
10.7 Advice of Counsel. Director acknowledges that, in executing this Agreement, Director has had the opportunity to seek the advice of independent legal counsel, and Director has read and understood all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be construed against any party by reason of the drafting or preparation hereof.
10.8 Modification. This Agreement may not be changed, modified, released, discharged, abandoned or otherwise amended, in whole or in part, except by an instrument in writing, signed by Director and the Corporation. Director agrees that any subsequent change or changes in Director’s duties, salary, or compensation shall not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.
10.9 Entire Agreement. The obligations of this Agreement shall apply to any time during which Director previously provided service, or will in the future provide service, to the Corporation as a consultant or agent if no other agreement governs nondisclosure and assignment of inventions during such period. This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between us. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party to be charged. The headings in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered a part of this Agreement or be used to interpret the meaning of any part of this Agreement.
10.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two counterparts, each shall be deemed an original and both of which shall together constitute one agreement. The parties hereto agree to accept a facsimile transmission copy of their respective actual signatures as evidence of their actual signatures to this Agreement and any modification or amendment of this Agreement; provided, however, that each party who produces a facsimile signature agrees, by the express terms hereof, to place, promptly after transmission of his or her signature by fax, a true and correct original copy of his or her signature in overnight mail to the address of the other party.
