(the “Acquirer”), a Chinese biotechnology product manufacturing corporation, whereby the Acquirer agreed to acquire 51% of the outstanding capital of the Company subject to certain adjustment provisions (the “Shanzhiling Acquisition”).

Pursuant to the two documents, the Company agreed to acquire 51% of the outstanding capital of Ditiantai subject to certain adjustment provisions (the “Ditiantai Acquisition”). The letter of intent has been terminated, and the Company is not pursuing this proposed acquisition any further.
Share Transfer Agreement with Mr. Yu Xu
On January 17, 2019, Jiashierle (Xiamen) Healthcare Technology Co., Ltd. (“JSEL”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Share Transfer Agreement (the “Share Transfer Agreement”) with Mr. Yu Xu (“Mr. Xu”), an individual who owned 90% of the equity interests of Shanghai Kangzi Medical Technology Co., Ltd., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the PRC (“Kangzi”). Pursuant to the Share Transfer Agreement, Mr. Xu transferred 60% of the equity interests of Kangzi to JSEL on January 17, 2019 for the purpose of developing a joint venture in the business of selling medical equipment. In return, JSEL would fund the operations of Kangzi in proportion to its equity interest in Kangzi. Kangzi owned no assets and conducts no business operation of its own. As a result, as of January 17, 2019, Kangzi became an indirect subsidiary of the Company.
Share Cancellation Agreement with Mr. Ban Siong Ang
On March 15, 2019, the Company, with the approval of the Board, entered into a Share Cancellation Agreement (the “Share Cancellation Agreement”) with Mr. Ban Siong Ang, the President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board of the Company. Pursuant to the Share Cancellation Agreement, the Company and Mr. Ang agreed to cancel 109,006,861 shares of Common Stock previously issued to Mr. Ang.
Raspberry Purchase Agreement and Raspberry Juice Processing Agreement with Ditiantai
In March 2019, the Company entered into a Raspberry Purchase Agreement and a Raspberry Juice Processing Agreement with Ditiantai. Pursuant to these two agreements, the Company purchased six tons of raspberry from Ditiantai, which were processed by Ditiantai into raspberry juice and delivered to the Company. The Company then sold the raspberry juice to a corporate buyer and five individual buyers. The Company, however, does not plan to engage in the business of selling raspberry juice in the long term.
New Business Initiative – Submillimeter Wave (Terahertz) Quantized Space Therapy Chamber Project
Since the beginning of 2019, Mr. Xu has led the core research and development team of Kangzi to develop and manufacture a new medical product, the Submillimeter Wave (Terahertz) Quantized Space Therapy Chamber (the “Chamber”). Utilizing submillimeter waves, the Chamber is a medical equipment designed to treat cancer through cold nuclear fusion caused by cosmic ray muons in an enclosed chamber. Specifically, we believe that exposure to an appropriate amount of submillimeter waves could accelerate the generation of a large number of cosmic ray muons inside the human body and that such cosmic ray muons could further facilitate cold nuclear fusion, which could reverse the cancering process through which selenium is converted into nickel inside cells.

The team consists of researchers whom have extensive experience in medicine and physics. The lead scientist of the team, Mr. Xu, had served as the deputy chief engineer of the New Energy Base of the National Defense-Science and Technology Commission in 1995, as the chairman and chief scientist of Shanghai Guangcon New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. from 2011 to 2019, and the director of Shanghai Hengbian New Energy Research Institute from 2003 to 2008. In 2012, Mr. Xu was rewarded the “Harmony-Person of the Year in China” at the “2011 Harmony China Annual Summit” in Beijing and recognized as “Leaping China: One of the Most Influential People of the Year in 2011” by China International Economic and Technical Cooperation Promotion Association, China Elite Culture Promotion Association, and China Outstanding Chinese Merchants Association. In 2013, the Organizing Committee of Boau Forum on Asian SME Development awarded Mr. Xu “2013 China Economic Outstanding Contribution Award.”
Pursuant to the terms of the Share Transfer Agreement entered into by JSEL and Kangzi on January 17, 2019, JSEL has the right to monitor and manage all aspects of operation of Kangzi, including its research and development activities relating to the Chamber. As the development of the Chamber enters its final stage at Kangzi, JSEL started accepting pre-orders for the Chamber in September. Subsequently, on October 15 2019, JSEL entered into a clinical cooperation agreement (the “Clinical Cooperation Agreement”) with Shenzhen Saikun Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (“Saikun”). Pursuant to the Clinical Cooperation Agreement, Saikun agreed to pay JSEL 5.5 million RMB as the total preordering payment. 1.5 million RMB and 1.5 million RMB were delivered to JSEL respectively on September 7 and September 27, 2019. The parties are working on the timing for payment of the remaining 2.5 million RMB due under the Clinical Cooperation Agreement. In exchange, JSEL is obligated to purchase all the components of a Chamber from Kangzi, fully assemble it, and conduct a clinical trial with Saikun, third-party hospital partners, and patients using the Chamber. Specifically, after receiving the full amount of payment from Saikun, JSEL shall transport the Chamber to its preferred location, properly install it, and conduct a clinical trial that lasts at least one month. During the clinical trial, JSEL shall provide training sessions regarding the proper operation of the Chamber to Saikun’s employees. Both Saikun and JSEL are obligated to find third-party hospitals whom will agree to act as partners to co-host the clinical trial and patients whom will be voluntarily willing to undergo treatment provided by the Chamber. While Saikun is responsible for various expenses related to the clinical trial, JSEL is responsible for communicating with patients receiving treatment and other patient-related administrative matters. When JSEL determines that Saikun is capable of properly operating the Chamber and managing activities related to the Chamber, Saikun may request JSEL to move the Chamber to a location designated by Saikun and reinstall it. Furthermore, upon the successful completion of the clinical trial, JSEL shall provide Saikun governmental permits necessary for the operation of the Chamber, and Saikun shall operate the Chamber and provide related services to patients under the supervision of JSEL. In addition, JSEL shall transfer the right of using the Chamber and any beneficiary right affiliated to using the Chamber to Saikun upon receiving the full amount of payment from Saikun. JSEL, nevertheless, owns all the intellectual property rights affiliated with the Chamber. If the two parties decide to terminate the Clinical Cooperation Agreement prior to the expiration of the term, Saikun’s right of using the Chamber during the term is still effective as long as its use of the Chamber does not infringe any of JSEL’s intellectual property rights affiliated with the Chamber. The two parties agreed that the term of the Clinical Cooperation Agreement would not end until Kangzi successfully obtains permits issued by relevant government entities supervising development and sale of medical equipment.
To prepare for the mass production of Chambers, Kangzi is conducting clinical experiments to make further improvements on Chamber and adjusting features of the mass-production mold for Chamber. Kangzi is also in the process of obtaining official governmental permits from relevant government authorities to produce and sell Chambers on a national scale. As its long-term business strategy, Kangzi focuses on researching, developing, and manufacturing high-technology medical equipment while targeting both individual and institutional customers. It plans to massively manufacture Chambers in small and medium sizes, establish operation centers to sell Chambers in various cities across China, and initiate advertising and marketing campaigns on different media platforms. Kangzi will also monetize on services provided to customers who use Chambers and other medical products.
In addition to business activities related to Chamber, the Company will commit to the research, development, manufacturing, and sale of healthcare equipment and various health products containing natural plants, including cosmetics, nutritional supplements, and drugs. In the near future, the Company aims to standardize and internationalize the production and sale of healthcare equipment and health products, while increasing its brand awareness in the healthcare and consumer-product markets.

On October 8, 2018, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Fujian Shanzhiling Biological Technology Co., Ltd (the “Acquirer”), a Chinese biotechnology product manufacturing corporation, whereby the Acquirer agreed to acquire 51% of the outstanding capital of the Company subject to certain adjustment provisions (the “Shanzhiling Acquisition”). The closing of the Shanzhiling Acquisition is subject to customary terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, completion of due diligence, negotiation and execution of definitive transaction documents between the parties and the delivery of audited and unaudited financial statements of the Target as required under applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, completion of the transaction is subject to approval by our Board.
On October 18, 2018, the Company entered into a non-binding memorandum of cooperation with Luoyang Ditiantai Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. (“Ditiantai”), a Chinese industrial agricultural chain enterprise, and on October 19, 2018, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Ditiantai. Pursuant to the two documents, the Company agreed to acquire 51% of the outstanding capital of Ditiantai subject to certain adjustment provisions (the “Ditiantai Acquisition”). The letter of intent has been terminated, and the Company is not pursuing this proposed acquisition any further.
On January 17, 2019, Jiashierle (Xiamen) Healthcare Technology Co., Ltd. (“JSEL”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Share Transfer Agreement (the “Share Transfer Agreement”) with Mr. Yu Xu (“Mr. Xu”), an individual who owned 90% of the equity interests of Shanghai Kangzi Medical Technology Co., Ltd., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the PRC (“Kangzi”). Pursuant to the Share Transfer Agreement, Mr. Xu transferred 60% of the equity interests of Kangzi to JSEL on January 17, 2019 for the purpose of developing a joint venture in the business of selling medical equipment. In return, JSEL would fund the operations of Kangzi in proportion to its equity interest in Kangzi. Kangzi owned no assets and conducts no business operation of its own. As a result, as of January 17, 2019, Kangzi became an indirect subsidiary of the Company.
On March 15, 2019, the Company, with the approval of the Board, entered into a Share Cancellation Agreement (the “Share Cancellation Agreement”) with Mr. Ban Siong Ang, the President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board of the Company. Pursuant to the Share Cancellation Agreement, the Company and Mr. Ang agreed to cancel 109,006,861 shares of Common Stock previously issued to Mr. Ang.
In March 2019, the Company entered into a Raspberry Purchase Agreement and a Raspberry Juice Processing Agreement with Ditiantai. Pursuant to these two agreements, the Company purchased six tons of raspberry from Ditiantai, which were processed by Ditiantai into raspberry juice and delivered to the Company. The Company then sold the raspberry juice to a corporate buyer and five individual buyers. The Company, however, does not plan to engage in the business of selling raspberry juice in the long term.
Since the beginning of 2019, Mr. Xu has led the core research and development team of Kangzi to develop and manufacture a new medical product, the Submillimeter Wave (Terahertz) Quantized Space Therapy Chamber (the “Chamber”). Utilizing submillimeter waves, the Chamber is a medical equipment designed to treat cancer through cold nuclear fusion caused by cosmic ray muons in an enclosed chamber. Specifically, we believe that exposure to an appropriate amount of submillimeter waves could accelerate the generation of a large number of cosmic ray muons inside the human body and that such cosmic ray muons could further facilitate cold nuclear fusion, which could reverse the cancering process through which selenium is converted into nickel inside cells.
The team consists of researchers whom have extensive experience in medicine and physics. The lead scientist of the team, Mr. Xu, had served as the deputy chief engineer of the New Energy Base of the National Defense-Science and Technology Commission in 1995, as the chairman and chief scientist of Shanghai Guangcon New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. from 2011 to 2019, and the director of Shanghai Hengbian New Energy Research Institute from 2003 to 2008. In 2012, Mr. Xu was rewarded the “Harmony-Person of the Year in China” at the “2011 Harmony China Annual Summit” in Beijing and recognized as “Leaping China: One of the Most Influential People of the Year in 2011” by China International Economic and Technical Cooperation Promotion Association, China Elite Culture Promotion Association, and China Outstanding Chinese Merchants Association. In 2013, the Organizing Committee of Boau Forum on Asian SME Development awarded Mr. Xu “2013 China Economic Outstanding Contribution Award.”

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Transfer Agreement entered into by JSEL and Kangzi on January 17, 2019, JSEL has the right to monitor and manage all aspects of operation of Kangzi, including its research and development activities relating to the Chamber. As the development of the Chamber enters its final stage at Kangzi, JSEL started accepting pre-orders for the Chamber in September. Subsequently, on October 15 2019, JSEL entered into a clinical cooperation agreement (the “Clinical Cooperation Agreement”) with Shenzhen Saikun Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (“Saikun”). Pursuant to the Clinical Cooperation Agreement, Saikun agreed to pay JSEL 5.5 million RMB as the total preordering payment. 1.5 million RMB and 1.5 million RMB were delivered to JSEL respectively on September 7 and September 27, 2019. The parties are working on the timing for payment of the remaining 2.5 million RMB due under the Clinical Cooperation Agreement. In exchange, JSEL is obligated to purchase all the components of a Chamber from Kangzi, fully assemble it, and conduct a clinical trial with Saikun, third-party hospital partners, and patients using the Chamber. Specifically, after receiving the full amount of payment from Saikun, JSEL shall transport the Chamber to its preferred location, properly install it, and conduct a clinical trial that lasts at least one month. During the clinical trial, JSEL shall provide training sessions regarding the proper operation of the Chamber to Saikun’s employees. Both Saikun and JSEL are obligated to find third-party hospitals whom will agree to act as partners to co-host the clinical trial and patients whom will be voluntarily willing to undergo treatment provided by the Chamber. While Saikun is responsible for various expenses related to the clinical trial, JSEL is responsible for communicating with patients receiving treatment and other patient-related administrative matters. When JSEL determines that Saikun is capable of properly operating the Chamber and managing activities related to the Chamber, Saikun may request JSEL to move the Chamber to a location designated by Saikun and reinstall it. Furthermore, upon the successful completion of the clinical trial, JSEL shall provide Saikun governmental permits necessary for the operation of the Chamber, and Saikun shall operate the Chamber and provide related services to patients under the supervision of JSEL. In addition, JSEL shall transfer the right of using the Chamber and any beneficiary right affiliated to using the Chamber to Saikun upon receiving the full amount of payment from Saikun. JSEL, nevertheless, owns all the intellectual property rights affiliated with the Chamber. If the two parties decide to terminate the Clinical Cooperation Agreement prior to the expiration of the term, Saikun’s right of using the Chamber during the term is still effective as long as its use of the Chamber does not infringe any of JSEL’s intellectual property rights affiliated with the Chamber. The two parties agreed that the term of the Clinical Cooperation Agreement would not end until Kangzi successfully obtains permits issued by relevant government entities supervising development and sale of medical equipment.
To prepare for the mass production of Chambers, Kangzi is conducting clinical experiments to make further improvements on Chamber and adjusting features of the mass-production mold for Chamber. Kangzi is also in the process of obtaining official governmental permits from relevant government authorities to produce and sell Chambers on a national scale. As its long-term business strategy, Kangzi focuses on researching, developing, and manufacturing high-technology medical equipment while targeting both individual and institutional customers. It plans to massively manufacture Chambers in small and medium sizes, establish operation centers to sell Chambers in various cities across China, and initiate advertising and marketing campaigns on different media platforms. Kangzi will also monetize on services provided to customers who use Chambers and other medical products.
In addition to business activities related to Chamber, the Company will commit to the research, development, manufacturing, and sale of healthcare equipment and various health products containing natural plants, including cosmetics, nutritional supplements, and drugs. In the near future, the Company aims to standardize and internationalize the production and sale of healthcare equipment and health products, while increasing its brand awareness in the healthcare and consumer-product markets.

Our expenses during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, were $317,347 , as compared to $228,999 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in the expenses was mainly due to increase in agency expenses, consulting fees and other office expenditures. We will depend upon our shareholdersto make loans to the Company to meet any costs that may occur. All such advances will be interest-free loans or equity contributions. We have received customer prepayments for our new medical product and services pursuant to the Clinical Cooperation Agreement. When we start fulfilling our obligations under the Clinical Cooperation Agreement, we expect to see significant increase in revenue.

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of a material weakness primarily related to a lack of a sufficient number of personnel with appropriate training and experience in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. To remediate the material weakness, our Chief Financial Officer, as a member of CPA Australia, hence a Certified Public Accountant in Australia, has attended professional trainings regarding applying GAAP on a regular basis. In the near future, we also intend to hire more personnel with sufficient training and experience in GAAP.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such item is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, for the company. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our current chief executive officer we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our evaluation under this framework, current management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the evaluation dates due to the same reasons illustrated in “Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures” above.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
None.
Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections
Not applicable.

Family Relationships
Our Executive Director, Mr. Tan, is the brother in law of our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, and President, Mr. Ang. None of our other directors or executive officers has a family relationship as defined in Item 401 of Regulation S-K.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:
| ● | been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); |
| ● | had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time; |
| ● | been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity; |
14
| ● | been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated; |
| ● | been the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or |

Director Independence
After review of all relevant transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, our Board has determined that Ms. Kwee Huwa Tan, Mr. Stephan Truly Busch, Mr. Senad Busatlic, and Mr. Zengqiang Lin are “independent directors” as defined under the NASDAQ listing standards. Pursuant to the applicable NASDAQ listing standards, an “independent director” refers to a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
Board Meetings
The Board did not hold any meeting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Committees of the Board of the Company
We do not have a standing nominating, compensation, or audit committee. Rather, our full Board performs the functions of these committees. We do not believe it is necessary for our Board to appoint such committees because the volume of matters that come before our Board for consideration permits the directors to give sufficient time and attention to such matters to be involved in all decision making. Additionally, because our Common Stock is not listed for trading or quotation on a national securities exchange, we are not required to have such committees.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a formal Code of Ethics. The Board evaluated the business of the Company and the number of employees and determined that since the business is operated by a small number of persons, general rules of fiduciary duty and federal and state criminal, business conduct, and securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines. In the event that our operations, employees, and directors expand in the future, we may take actions to adopt a formal Code of Ethics.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To: The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Heyu Biological Technology Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Heyu Biological Technology Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, statement of stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph Regarding Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company had incurred substantial losses during the year, and has a working capital deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regards to these matters are described in Note 2. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
F-1
Operating lease
As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and liabilities for certain operating lease. Determining the value of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities requires management to make judgements over key estimates and assumptions. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. The audit engagement team performed procedures, which includes, among others, evaluating the accuracy of the calculation and assessing the inputs used in the calculation.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Heyu Biological Technology Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on May 18, 1987, as Asphalt Associates, Inc. and changed its name to Pacific WebWorks in January 1999. From 1999 to 2016 the Company engaged in the development and distribution of web tools software, electronic business storefront hosting, and Internet payment systems for individuals and small to mid-sized businesses. On February 23, 2016, the Company filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Utah, and soon afterwards ceased its business activities. On August 19, 2016, the Company proposed a plan of liquidation and on November 28, 2016, the court entered an order confirming the plan of liquidation and establishing a liquidating trust. On December 28, 2016, all assets and liabilities of the Company were transferred to the liquidating trust.
On April 18, 2018, the Company entered into a
share purchase agreement with Mr. Ban Siong Ang and Mr. Dan Masters (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr.
Ang acquired
On April 18, 2018, to fill the vacancies created by Mr. Masters’ resignation, Ban Siong Ang and Hung Seng Tan were elected as the directors of the Company. Mr. Ang was appointed as President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board of the Company. Mr. Tan was appointed as the Executive Director of the Company. Ms. Wendy Li was appointed as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. On February 28, 2021, Ms. Wendy Li resigned from her position with the Company as the Chief Financial Officer. To fill the vacancies created by Ms. Wendy Wei Li’s resignation, Mr. Ang was appointed as the Chief Financial Officer. On November 30, 2021, Mr. Bo Lyu has been appointed as the Chief Financial Officer.
On July 3, 2018, the Company changed its name to Heyu Biological Technology Corporation and applied for a new ticker symbol “HYBT”.
During 2018, the Company established the following subsidiaries: (1) HP Technology Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company incorporated on September 20, 2018, and (2) Heyu Healthcare Technology Limited, a Hong Kong company incorporated on March 29, 2018. On November 5, 2018, the Company acquired the following subsidiary: Jiashierle (Xiamen) Healthcare Technology Co., Ltd. (“JSEL”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on November 16, 2017.
On January 17, 2019, JSEL entered into a share
transfer agreement (the “Share Transfer Agreement”) with Mr. Yu Xu (“Mr. Xu”), an individual with an address at
No. 68 Chengde South Road, Qingpu District, Huaian City, Jiangsu Province, the PRC. Mr. Xu owned
Since the beginning of 2019, Mr. Xu has led the core research and development team of Kangzi to develop and manufacture a new medical product, the Submillimeter Wave (Terahertz) Quantized Space Therapy Chamber (the “Chamber”). Utilizing submillimeter waves, the Chamber is a medical equipment designed to treat cancer through cold nuclear fusion caused by cosmic ray muons in an enclosed chamber. We believe that exposure to an appropriate amount of submillimeter waves would accelerate the generation of a large number of cosmic ray muons inside the human body and that such cosmic ray muons could further facilitate cold nuclear fusion, which could reverse the cancer by converting selenium into nickel inside cells.
F-7
Our team consists of researchers who have years of extensive experience in medicine and physics. The lead scientist of the team, Mr. Xu, had extensive professional experience in the aforementioned fields and has served as the deputy chief engineer of the New Energy Base of the National Defense-Science and Technology Commission in 1995, the chairman and chief scientist of Shanghai Guangzhui New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. from 2011 to 2019, and the director of Shanghai Hengbian New Energy Research Institute from 2003 to 2008. In 2012, Mr. Xu received the “Harmony-Person of the Year in China” award at the “2011 Harmony China Annual Summit” in Beijing. He was recognized as “Leaping China: One of the Most Influential People of the Year in 2011” by China International Economic and Technical Cooperation Promotion Association, China Elite Culture Promotion Association, and China Outstanding Chinese Merchants Association. Mr. Xu also received the “2013 China Economic Outstanding Contribution Award” from the Organizing Committee of Boau Forum on Asian SME Development.
Pursuant to the terms of the share transfer agreement entered into by JSEL and Kangzi on January 17, 2019, JSEL has the right to monitor and manage all aspects of operation of Kangzi, including its research and development activities relating to the Chamber. As the development of the Chamber enters its final stage, JSEL started accepting pre-orders for the Chamber in September 2019.
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus, commonly referred to as “COVID-19”, first found in mainland China, then in Asia and eventually throughout the world, has significantly affected business and manufacturing activities within China, including travel restrictions, widespread mandatory quarantines, and suspension of business activities within China. These measures have caused substantial disruptions to our business operations. We suspended our business operation in early February 2020 due to government mandates. We partially recovered our business operation on February 17, 2020, and on March 1, 2020, most of our staff members returned to the office and we fully resumed our business operations on the same day. Accordingly, our business, results of operations and financial condition were adversely affected. As of the date of this Report, Chinese industries have gradually resumed businesses as government officials started to ease the restrictive measures since April 2020. However, as most of our top management team is an overseas team, due to the international travel ban, we still operate under remote-working conditions, so the business of the Company is still recovering. Our management believes that our revenues will gradually improve as the epidemic and the travel ban are lifted.
On March 17, 2020, we entered into a business
service cooperation agreement with Xiamen Qingda Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cross-strait Tsinghua
Research Institute, pursuant to which we agreed to jointly improve the plant based disinfectant spray for treating skin infections and
disinfecting wounds. The term of such agreement is three years, and can be renewed upon mutual agreement of both parties. The original
plant based disinfectant spray was developed and owned by the Company, while the improved product shall be owned by both the Company and
the Cross-strait Tsinghua Research Institute. The Cross-strait Tsinghua Research Institute will receive

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the estimates used in preparing the financial statements are reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment assessments of goodwill, valuation of deferred tax assets, rebilling collections and certain accrued liabilities such as contingent liabilities. As of December 31, 2022, the Company considered the economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on its significant judgments and estimates. Given the impact and other unforeseen effects on the global economy from the COVID-19 pandemic, these estimates required increased judgment, and actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity period of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value. All of the Company’s cash that is held in bank accounts in the PRC and Hong Kong is not protected by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance or any other similar insurance in the PRC, or Hong Kong.
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
Accounts receivable are stated at the historical carrying amount net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts which reflects its best estimate of amounts that potentially will not be collected. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts taking into consideration various factors, including but not limited to historical collection experience and credit-worthiness of the debtors, as well as the age of the individual receivables balance. Additionally, the Company makes specific bad debt provisions based on any specific knowledge the Company has acquired that might indicate that an account is uncollectible. The facts and circumstances of each account may require the Company to use substantial judgment in assessing its collectability.
Inventories
Inventories consist of finished goods, work in process, and raw materials. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. The Company applies the weighted average cost method to its inventory.

Leases
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), as amended, which supersedes the lease accounting guidance under Topic 840, and generally requires lessees to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (ROU) assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements.
Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and short-term and long-term lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use the industry incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Adoption of the standard resulted in the initial
recognition of $
Foreign Currency
For fiscal year 2021, the Company’s principal country of operations is the PRC. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in US$. The functional currency of the Company is US$, and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is RMB. The consolidated financial statements are translated into US$ from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity included in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in profit or loss.
| As of | ||||||||
| December 31, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | |||||||
| RMB: US$ exchange rate | ||||||||
| For the year ended December 31, | ||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| RMB: US$ exchange rate | ||||||||
F-10
The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rates used in translation.
General and administrative costs
General and administrative expenses include personnel expenses for executive, finance, and internal support personnel. In addition, general and administrative expenses include fees for bad debt costs, professional legal and accounting services, insurance, office space, banking and merchant fees, and other overhead-related costs.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Income taxes are provided on an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Any tax paid by subsidiaries during the year is recorded. Current tax is based on the profit or loss from ordinary activities adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowable for income tax purpose and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. ASC Topic 740 also requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carry-forwards. ASC Topic 740 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Realization of deferred tax assets, including those related to the U.S. net operating loss carry-forwards, are dependent upon future earnings, if any, of which the timing and amount are uncertain.
The Company adopted ASC Topic 740-10-05, Income Tax, which provides guidance for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. It prescribes a threshold condition that a tax position must meet for any of the benefits of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. It also provides accounting guidance on derecognizing, classification and disclosure of these uncertain tax positions.
The Company’s policy on classification of all interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax positions, if any, is to present them as a component of income tax expense.
Capital Structure
The Company had
Earnings (loss) per share
Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive shares, which are based on the weighted-average shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock-based awards, warrants, options, or convertible debt using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, as applicable, are included when calculating diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders when their effect is dilutive.
F-11
Potential dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS in loss periods as their effect would be antidilutive.
For the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no potentially dilutive shares.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company was unable to
generate cash flows sufficient to support its operations and was dependent on related party advances from the current controlling shareholder.
In addition, the Company had experienced recurring net losses, and had an accumulated deficit of $
There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from any future operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. If the Company is unable to raise capital from external sources when required, there will be a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders. Management is now seeking an operating company with which to merge or acquire. In the foreseeable future, the Company will rely on related parties, such as its controlling shareholder, to provide advances to funds general corporate purposes and any potential acquisitions of profitable investments. There is no assurance, however, that the Company will achieve its objectives or goals.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES REGISTERED PURSUANT TO
SECTION 12 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED
General
The following description summarizes the most important terms of our securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our amended and restated Articles of Incorporation (“Articles of Incorporation”). For a complete description of our securities, you should refer to our Articles of Incorporation and the applicable provisions of Chapters 78 and 92A of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “Nevada Statutes”).
We are incorporated as a Nevada company, and our affairs are governed by our Articles of Incorporation and the laws of the State of Nevada. As used in this section, “we,” “us,” “our,” and “the Company” mean Heyu Biological Technology Corporation and its successors, but not any of its subsidiaries.
Authorized Capital Stock
Under our Articles of Incorporation, our authorized capital stock consists of 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of March 23, 2023, we had 1,032,466,000 shares of common stock outstanding, held of record by 669 stockholders. This number excludes any estimate by us of the number of beneficial owners of shares held in street name, the accuracy of which cannot be guaranteed.
Common Stock.
Our common stock is listed on The OTC Pink Market, under the symbol “HYBT.”
Voting. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Holders of our common stock are not entitled to cumulative voting in the election of directors.
Dividends. Except as provided by law or in our articles of incorporation, the holders of common stock will be entitled to such cash dividends as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) from funds available.
Liquidation. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata all assets available for distribution to such holders after payment of our liabilities.
Other Terms. Holders of common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights, nor is the common stock subject to redemption.
Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws with Anti-Takeover Implications
Certain provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and amended and restated bylaws (“Bylaws”) deal with matters of corporate governance and the rights of stockholders. Under our Articles of Incorporation, our Board of Directors may set the voting rights, preferences and other terms thereof. Our Bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the President, or by the President or Secretary at the request of a majority of the directors or stockholders owning not less than 25% of our issued and outstanding voting stock. Such provisions, together with certain provisions of the Nevada Statutes (see “Nevada Anti-Takeover Statutes”), could be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and discourage takeover attempts not first approved by our Board of Directors. This may include takeovers that certain stockholders may deem to be in their best interest. Any such discouraging effect on takeover attempts could potentially depress the market price of our common stock or inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts.
Nevada Anti-Takeover Statutes
Business Combinations Act
We are subject to Nevada’s anti-takeover law because we have not opted out of the provisions of Sections 78.411-78.444 of the Nevada Statutes under the terms of our Articles of Incorporation. This law provides that specified persons who, together with affiliates and associates, own, or within two years did own, 10% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation cannot engage in specified business combinations with the corporation for a period of two years after the date on which the person became an interested stockholder. The law defines the term “business combination” to encompass a wide variety of transactions with or caused by an interested stockholder, including mergers, asset sales and other transactions in which the interested stockholder receives or could receive a benefit on other than a pro rata basis with other stockholders. This provision may have an anti-takeover effect for transactions not approved in advance by our Board of Directors, including discouraging takeover attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of our common stock.
Control Share Statute
A corporation is subject to Nevada’s control share law if it has more than 200 stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of Nevada, and if the corporation does business in Nevada, including through an affiliated corporation. This control share law may have the effect of discouraging corporate takeovers. We currently have less than 100 stockholders of record who are residents of Nevada.
The control share law focuses on the acquisition of a “controlling interest,” which means the ownership of outstanding voting shares that would be sufficient, but for the operation of the control share law, to enable the acquiring person to exercise the following proportions of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors: (1) one-fifth or more but less than one-third; (2) one-third or more but less than a majority; or (3) a majority or more. The ability to exercise this voting power may be direct or indirect, as well as individual or in association with others.
The effect of the control share law is that an acquiring person, and those acting in association with that person, will obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders of the corporation, approved at a special or annual meeting of stockholders. The control share law contemplates that voting rights will be considered only once by the other stockholders. Thus, there is no authority to take away voting rights from the control shares of an acquiring person once those rights have been approved. If the stockholders do not grant voting rights to the control shares acquired by an acquiring person, those shares do not become permanent non-voting shares. The acquiring person is free to sell the shares to others. If the buyer or buyers of those shares themselves do not acquire a controlling interest, the shares are not governed by the control share law.
If control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of the voting power, a stockholder of record, other than the acquiring person, who did not vote in favor of approval of voting rights, is entitled to demand fair value for such stockholder’s shares.
Transfer Agent
The transfer agent for our capital stock is Standard Registrar and Transfer Company, Inc., located at 440 East 400 South, Suite 200, Salt Lake City, UT 84111. Their telephone number is (801) 571-8844.
