NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2019

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Avalon GloboCare Corp. (f/k/a Global Technologies Corp.) (the “Company” or “AVCO”) is a Delaware corporation. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 28, 2014. On October 18, 2016, the Company changed its name to Avalon GloboCare Corp. and completed a reverse split its shares of common stock at a ratio of 1:4. On October 19, 2016, the Company entered into and closed a Share Exchange Agreement with the shareholders of Avalon Healthcare System, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AHS”), each of which are accredited investors (“AHS Shareholders”) pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the outstanding securities of AHS in exchange for 50,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “AHS Acquisition”). AHS was incorporated on May 18, 2015 under the laws of the State of Delaware. As a result of such acquisition, the Company’s operations now are focused on integrating and managing global healthcare services and resources, as well as empowering high-impact biomedical innovations and technologies to accelerate their clinical applications. We are dedicated to advancing cell-based technologies and therapeutics, as well as empowering high-impact biomedical innovations to accelerate their clinical applications. Our ecosystem covers the areas of exosome technology (including liquid biopsy and regenerative therapeutics) and cellular immunotherapy. We plan to integrate technologies and services through joint venture and subsidiary structures that bring shareholder value both in the short term, through operational entities and long term, through biomedical innovation development, such as our recent joint venture for the advancement of exosome isolation systems and related products. AHS owns 100% of the capital stock of Avalon (Shanghai) Healthcare Technology Co., Ltd. (“Avalon Shanghai”), which is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Avalon Shanghai was incorporated on April 29, 2016 and is engaged in medical related consulting services for customers.

 

For accounting purposes, AHS was the surviving entity. The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of AHS pursuant to which AHS was treated as the accounting acquirer, surviving and continuing entity although the Company is the legal acquirer.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

Beijing GenExosome is engaged in the development of exosome technology to improve diagnosis and management of diseases. Exosomes are tiny, subcellular, membrane-bound vesicles in diameter of 30-150 nm that are released by almost all cell types and that can carry membrane and cellular proteins, as well as genetic materials that are representative of the cell of origin. Profiling various bio-molecules in exosomes may serve as useful biomarkers for a wide variety of diseases. Beijing GenExosome’s research kits are designed to be used by researchers for biomarker discovery and clinical diagnostic development, and the advancement of targeted therapies. Currently, research kits and service are available to isolate exosomes or extract exosomal RNA/protein from serum/plasma, urine and saliva samples. Beijing GenExosome is seeking to decode proteomic and genomic alterations underlying a wide-range of pathologies, thus allowing for the introduction of novel non-invasive “liquid biopsies”. Its mission is focused toward diagnostic advancements in the fields of oncology, infectious diseases and fibrotic diseases, and discovery of disease-specific exosomes to provide disease origin insight necessary to enable personalized clinical management.

 

On July 18, 2018, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Avactis Biosciences Inc., a Nevada corporation, which will be focused on accelerating commercial activities related to cellular therapies, including regenerative medicine with stem/progenitor cells as well as cellular immunotherapy including CAR-T, CAR-NK, TCR-T and others. The subsidiary is designed to integrate and optimize our global scientific and clinical resources to further advance the use of cellular therapies to treat certain cancers.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2019.

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 include the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserve for obsolete inventory, the useful life of property and equipment and investment in real estate and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets, valuation of deferred tax assets and the associated valuation allowances, and valuation of stock-based compensation.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company adopted the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

 

Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

 

The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, tenants receivable, security deposit, inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other payables, accrued liabilities and other payables – related parties, deferred rental income, loan payable, interest payable, interest payable – related party, Value Added Tax (“VAT”) and other taxes payable, tenants’ security deposit, and due to related party, approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.

 

Cash

 

Cash consists of cash on hand and cash in banks. The Company maintains cash with various financial institutions in the PRC and United States. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, cash balances in PRC are $814,166 and $1,216,485, respectively, are uninsured. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, cash balances in United States are $955,125 and $1,035,802, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Currently, a portion of the Company’s operations are carried out in PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company’s operations in PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, trade accounts receivable and tenants receivable. A portion of the Company’s cash is maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC, and none of these deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts. A portion of the Company’s sales are credit sales which is to the customer whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in these areas; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable and tenants receivable is limited due to generally short payment terms. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk.

Concentrations of Credit Risk (continued)

 

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s cash balances by geographic area were as follows:

 

Country:  March 31, 2019   December 31, 2018 
United States  $955,125    54.0%  $1,035,802    46.0%

Total cash  $1,769,291    100.0%  $2,252,287    100.0%

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection.

 

Management believes that the accounts receivable are fully collectable. Therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts is deemed to be required on its accounts receivable at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company historically has not experienced uncollectible accounts from customers granted with credit sales.

 

Tenants Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Tenants receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Tenants receivable balance consist of base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables arising from straight-lining of rents primarily represent amounts accrued and unpaid from tenants in accordance with the terms of the respective leases, subject to the Company’s revenue recognition policy. An allowance for the uncollectible portion of tenant receivable is determined based upon an analysis of the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in Freehold, New Jersey in which the property is located.

 

Management believes that the tenants receivable are fully collectable. Therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts is deemed to be required on its tenants receivable at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. A reserve is established when management determines that certain inventory may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record a write down in inventory for the difference between the cost and the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. The reserve and write down are recorded based on estimates. The Company did not record any inventory reserve and or write down at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the period of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

Investment in Real Estate and Depreciation

 

Investment in real estate is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and consists of building and improvement. The Company depreciates real estate building and improvement on a straight-line basis over estimated useful life. Expenditures for ordinary repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditure for improvements, renovations, and replacements of real estate asset is capitalized and depreciated over its estimated useful life if the expenditure qualifies as betterment. Real estate depreciation expense was $39,961 and $31,805 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of patents and other technologies. Patents and other technologies are being amortized on a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 5 years.

 

Investment in Unconsolidated Company – Epicon Biotech Co., Ltd.

 

The Company uses the equity method of accounting for its investment in, and earning or loss of, company that it does not control but over which it does exert significant influence. The Company considers whether the fair value of its equity method investment has declined below its carrying value whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that recorded value may not be recoverable. If the Company considers any decline to be other than temporary (based on various factors, including historical financial results and the overall health of the investee), then a write-down would be recorded to estimated fair value. See Note 9 for discussion of equity method investment.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not record any impairment charge for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 as there was no impairment indicator noted as of the filing date of this report.

 

Deferred Rental Income

 

Deferred rental income represents rental income collected but not earned as of the reporting date. The Company defers the revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, deferred rental income totaled $3,012 and $14,136, respectively.

 

Value Added Tax

 

Avalon Shanghai and Beijing GenExosome are subject to a value added tax (“VAT”) for providing medical related consulting services and performing development services and sales of developed products. The amount of VAT liability is determined by applying the applicable tax rates to the invoiced amount of medical related consulting services provided and the invoiced amount of development services provided and sales of developed products (output VAT) less VAT paid on purchases made with the relevant supporting invoices (input VAT). The Company reports revenue net of PRC’s value added tax for all the periods presented in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company began recognizing revenue under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective transition method. The impact of adopting the new revenue standard was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and there was no adjustment to beginning accumulated deficit on January 1, 2018. The core principle of this new revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

Revenue Recognition (continued)

 

  Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer

 

  Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

 

  Step 3: Determine the transaction price

 

  Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

 

  Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation

 

In order to identify the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, a company must assess the promised goods or services in the contract and identify each promised good or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of a “distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met:

 

The customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e., the good or service is capable of being distinct).

 

The entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (i.e., the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract).

 

If a good or service is not distinct, the good or service is combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle of goods or services is identified that is distinct.

 

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example, some sales taxes). The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

 

The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is satisfied, at a point in time or over time as appropriate.

 

Types of revenue:

 

Rental revenue from leasing commercial property under operating leases with terms of generally three years or more.

 

Service fees under consulting agreements with related parties to provide medical related consulting services to its clients. The Company is paid for its services by its clients pursuant to the terms of the written consulting agreements. Each contract calls for a fixed payment.

 

Service fees under agreements to perform development services for hospitals and other customers. The Company does not perform contracts that are contingent upon successful results.

 

Sales of developed products to hospitals and other customers.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Revenue Recognition (continued)

 

Revenue recognition criteria:

 

The Company recognizes rental revenue from its commercial leases on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease including rent holidays, if any. Straight-line rent receivable consists of the difference between the tenants’ rents calculated on a straight-line basis from the date of lease commencement over the remaining terms of the related leases and the tenants’ actual rents due under the lease agreements and is included in tenants receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenues associated with operating expense recoveries are recognized in the period in which the expenses are incurred.

 

The Company recognizes revenue by providing medical related consulting services under written service contracts with its customers. Revenue related to its service offerings is recognized as the services are performed.

 

Revenue from development services performed under written contracts is recognized as services are provided.

 

Revenue from sales of developed items to hospitals and other customers is recognized when items are shipped to customers and titles are transferred.

 

The Company does not offer promotional payments, customer coupons, rebates or other cash redemption offers to its customers.

 

Office Lease

 

When a lease contains “rent holidays”, the Company records rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and the difference between the average rental amount charged to expense and the amount payable under the lease is recorded as prepaid expenses in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company begins recording rent expense on the lease possession date.

 

Real Property Operating Expenses

 

Real property operating expenses consist of property management fees, property insurance, real estate taxes, depreciation, repairs and maintenance fees, utilities and other expenses related to the Company’s rental properties.

 

Medical Related Consulting Services Costs

 

Costs of medical related consulting services includes the cost of internal labor and related benefits, travel expenses related to consulting services, subcontractor costs, other related consulting costs, and other overhead costs. Subcontractor costs were costs related to medical related consulting services incurred by our subcontractor, such as medical professional’s compensation and travel costs.

 

Development Services and Sales of Developed Products Costs

 

Costs of development services and sales of developed items includes inventory costs, materials and supplies costs, depreciation, internal labor and related benefits, other overhead costs and shipping and handling costs incurred.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and are included in cost of sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, shipping and handling costs amounted to $0 and $25, respectively.

 

Research and Development

 

Expenditures for research and product development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred research and development expense in the amount of $152,460 related to the development of proprietary diagnostic and therapeutic products leveraging exosome technology and optimization of Exosome Isolation Systems, and the develop of standardization of clinical-grade exosome bio-production and study of tissue-specific exosomes from various human cell types in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company did not incur any research and development costs during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Advertising Costs

 

All costs related to advertising are expensed as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, advertising costs amounted to $244,600. We did not incur any advertising expense during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award. The Accounting Standards Codification also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

 

Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is recognized over the period of services or the vesting period, whichever is applicable. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company’s compensation expense for unvested options to non-employees is re-measured at each balance sheet date and is being amortized over the vesting period of the options.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset/liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had no significant uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Tax year that remains subject to examination is the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to significant uncertain income tax positions in other expense. However, no such interest and penalties were recorded as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

In December 2017, the United States Government passed new tax legislation that, among other provisions, lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. In addition to applying the new lower corporate tax rate in 2018 and thereafter to any taxable income the Company may have, the legislation affects the way the Company can use and carryforward net operating losses previously accumulated and results in a revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheet. Given that current deferred tax assets are offset by a full valuation allowance, these changes will have no net impact on the balance sheet. However, when the Company becomes profitable, the Company will receive a reduced benefit from such deferred tax assets.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the parent company, AHS, Avalon RT 9, GenExosome, and Avactis, is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of Avalon Shanghai and Beijing GenExosome, is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). For the subsidiaries whose functional currency is the RMB, result of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. As a result, amounts relating to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows may not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income/loss. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date with any transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Foreign Currency Translation (continued)

 

All of the Company’s revenue transactions are transacted in the functional currency of the operating subsidiaries. The Company does not enter into any material transaction in foreign currencies. Transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

 

Asset and liability accounts at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were translated at 6.7121 RMB to $1.00 and at 6.8785 RMB to $1.00, respectively, which were the exchange rates on the balance sheet dates. Equity accounts were stated at their historical rates. The average translation rates applied to the statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were 6.7481 RMB and 6.3577 RMB to $1.00, respectively. Cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate.

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and all changes to the statements of equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. For the Company, comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 consisted of net loss and unrealized gain from foreign currency translation adjustment.

 

Per Share Data

 

ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

 

Basic net loss per share are computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). Common stock equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net loss per share:

 

   Three Months Ended
March 31, 2019
   Three Months Ended
March 31, 2018
 
Net loss available to Avalon GloboCare Corp. common shareholders for basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock  $(4,405,816)  $(1,481,579)
Weighted average common stock outstanding - basic and diluted   73,690,461    69,781,733 
Net loss per common share attributable to Avalon GloboCare Corp. common shareholders - basic and diluted  $(0.06)  $(0.02)

 

The following table summarizes the securities that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive:

Business Acquisition

 

The Company accounts for business acquisition in accordance with ASC No. 805, Business Combinations.

Segment Reporting

 

The Company uses “the management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer (“CEO”) and president of the Company, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. The Company has determined that it has three reportable business segments: real property operating segment, medical related consulting services segment, and development services and sales of developed products segment. These reportable segments offer different types of services and products, have different types of revenue, and are managed separately as each requires different operating strategies and management expertise.

 

Related Parties

 

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

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

The Company effected a one-for-four reverse stock split of its common stock on October 18, 2016. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.

 

Fiscal Year End

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases”, (“ASU 842”) which amended the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 842 is effective for public companies during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, which permits entities to record the right-of-use asset and lease liability on the date of adoption, with no requirement to recast comparative periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

 

The Company adopted ASU 842 effective January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method of recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit on January 1, 2019. Therefore, comparative financial information was not adjusted and continues to be reported under the prior lease accounting guidance in ASU 840. The Company elected the transition relief package of practical expedients, and as a result, the Company did not assess 1) whether existing or expired contracts contain embedded leases, 2) lease classification for any existing or expired leases, and 3) whether lease origination costs qualified as initial direct costs. The Company elected the short-term lease practical expedient by establishing an accounting policy to exclude leases with a term of 12 months or less, as well as the land easement practical expedient for maintaining its current accounting policy for existing or expired land easements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The objective of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements by removing, modifying, and adding certain fair value disclosure requirements to facilitate clear communication of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted upon issuance of this ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

Overview

 

We are dedicated to advancing cell-based technologies and therapeutics, as well as empowering high-impact biomedical innovations to accelerate their clinical applications. Our ecosystem covers the areas of exosome technology (including liquid biopsy and regenerative therapeutics) and cellular immunotherapy. We plan to integrate technologies and services through joint venture and subsidiary structures that bring shareholder value both in the short term, through operational entities and long term, through biomedical innovation development, such as our recent joint venture for the advancement of exosome isolation systems and related products.

 

In addition, we are engaged in the development of exosome technology to improve the diagnosis and management of diseases. Exosomes are tiny, subcellular, membrane-bound vesicles 30-150 nm in diameter that are released by almost all cell types and can carry membrane and cellular proteins, as well as genetic materials that are representative of the cell of origin. Profiling various bio-molecules in exosomes may serve as useful biomarkers for a wide variety of diseases. Our isolation system is designed to be used by researchers for biomarker discovery, clinical diagnostic development, and advancement of targeted therapies. Currently, isolation systems and service are available to isolate exosomes or extract exosomal RNA/protein from serum/plasma, urine and saliva samples. We are seeking to decode proteomic and genomic alterations underlying a wide-range of pathologies, thus allowing for the introduction of novel non-invasive “liquid biopsies”. Our mission is focused on diagnostic advancements in the fields of oncology, infectious diseases and fibrotic diseases, and the discovery of disease-specific exosomes to provide the disease origin insight necessary to enable personalized clinical management.

 

We currently generate revenue by selling exosome isolation systems in China and the United States through our joint venture GenExosome Technologies, Inc. In addition, we provide medical related consulting services in advanced areas of immunotherapy and second opinion/referral services through our wholly-owned subsidiary Avalon (Shanghai) Healthcare Technology Co., Ltd., or Avalon Shanghai. We also own and operate commercial real estate in New Jersey, where we are headquartered.

 

Further, we produce revenue by performing development services for hospitals and other customers and sales of developed products to hospitals and other customers through GenExosome Technologies Inc. (“GenExosome”) and Beijing Jieteng (GenExosome) Biotech Co., Ltd. (“Beijing GenExosome”).

 

We also own and operate rental real property in New Jersey.

 

On May 29, 2018, Avalon Shanghai entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Jiangsu Unicorn Biological Technology Co., Ltd., or Unicorn, pursuant to which a company named Epicon Biotech Co., Ltd. (“Epicon”) was formed on August 14, 2018. Epicon is owned 60% by Unicorn and 40% by Avalon Shanghai.

The value of the Renminbi (“RMB”), the main currency used in China, fluctuates and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. The conversion of RMB into foreign currencies such as the U.S. dollar have generally been based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China, which are set daily based on the previous day’s interbank foreign exchange market rates and current exchange rates on the world financial markets.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserve for obsolete inventory, the useful life of property and equipment and investment in real estate and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets, valuation of deferred tax assets and the associated valuation allowances, and valuation of stock-based compensation.

 

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2018, we began recognizing revenue under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective transition method. The impact of adopting the new revenue standard was not material to our consolidated financial statements and there was no adjustment to beginning accumulated deficit on January 1, 2018. The core principle of this new revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

 

  Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer

 

  Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

 

  Step 3: Determine the transaction price

 

  Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

 

  Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation

 

In order to identify the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, a company must assess the promised goods or services in the contract and identify each promised good or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of a “distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met:

 

The customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e., the good or service is capable of being distinct).

 

The entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (i.e., the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract).

 

If a good or service is not distinct, the good or service is combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle of goods or services is identified that is distinct.

 

32

 

 

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example, some sales taxes). The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

 

The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is satisfied, at a point in time or over time as appropriate.

 

Types of revenue:

 

Rental revenue from leasing commercial property under operating leases with terms of generally three years or more.

 

Service fees under consulting agreements with related parties to provide medical related consulting services to our clients. We are paid for our services by our clients pursuant to the terms of the written consulting agreements. Each contract calls for a fixed payment.

 

Service fees under agreements to perform development services for hospitals and other customers. We do not perform contracts that are contingent upon successful results.

 

Sales of developed products to hospitals and other customers.

 

Revenue recognition criteria:

 

We recognize rental revenue from our commercial leases on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease including rent holidays, if any. Straight-line rent receivable consists of the difference between the tenants’ rents calculated on a straight-line basis from the date of lease commencement over the remaining terms of the related leases and the tenants’ actual rents due under the lease agreements and is included in tenants receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenues associated with operating expense recoveries are recognized in the period in which the expenses are incurred.

 

We recognize revenue by providing medical related consulting services under written service contracts with our customers. Revenue related to our service offerings is recognized as the services are performed.

 

Revenue from development services performed under written contracts is recognized as services are provided.

 

Revenue from sales of developed items to hospitals and other customers is recognized when items are shipped to customers and titles are transferred.

 

We do not offer promotional payments, customer coupons, rebates or other cash redemption offers to our customers.

 

Income Taxes

 

The company has not provided an Income Tax Provision (China, nor the United States) for the first quarter of 2019 due to loses being reported for both jurisdictions. 

 

We are governed by the income tax laws of China and the United States. Income taxes are accounted for pursuant to ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. The charge for taxes is based on the results for the period as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

 

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

 

Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is changed to equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and we intend to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

 

33

 

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

Stock based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award. The Accounting Standards Codification also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

 

Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is recognized over the period of services or the vesting period, whichever is applicable. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. Our compensation expense for unvested options to non-employees is re-measured at each balance sheet date and is being amortized over the vesting period of the options.

 

Non-controlling Interest

 

As of March 31, 2019, Dr. Yu Zhou, director and co- chief executive officer of GenExosome, who owned 40% of the equity interests of GenExosome, which is not under our control.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

 

Revenues

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we had real property rental revenue of $266,626, as compared to $296,623 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, a decrease of $29,997, or 10.1%, which was primarily attributable to the loss of a tenant in December 2018.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we had medical related consulting services revenue from related party of $14,260. We did not have any medical related consulting revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we had revenue from contract services through performing development services for hospitals and other customers and sales of developed products to hospitals and other customers of $3,278, as compared to $11,290 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, a decrease of $8,012, or 71.0%, which was primarily attributable to business fluctuation period over period. We expect that our revenue from contract services through performing development services for hospitals and other customers and sales of developed products to hospitals and other customers will have a modest increase in the near future.

 

Costs and Expenses

 

Real property operating expenses consist of property management fees, property insurance, real estate taxes, depreciation, repairs and maintenance fees, utilities and other expenses related to our rental properties.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our real property operating expenses amounted to $230,759, as compared to $210,274 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of $20,485, or 9.7%. The increase was mainly due to an increase in real property management fee of approximately $15,000 and an increase in depreciation from building improvement of approximately $8,000, offset by a decrease in other miscellaneous items of approximately $3,000.

 

Costs of medical related consulting services include the cost of internal labor and related benefits, travel expenses related to medical related consulting services, subcontractor costs, other related consulting costs, and other overhead costs. Subcontractor costs were costs related to medical related consulting services incurred by our subcontractor, such as medical professional’s compensation and travel costs.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, costs of medical related consulting services amounted to $13,091.

 

34

 

 

Costs of development services and sales of developed products include inventory costs, materials and supplies costs, internal labor and related benefits, depreciation, other overhead costs and shipping and handling costs incurred.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, costs of development services for hospitals and other customers and sales of developed products to hospitals and other customers amounted to $30,307, as compared to $16,520 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of $13,787, or 83.5%. The increase was mainly due to (i) the increase in depreciation related to our newly purchased manufacturing equipment which we started depreciating from the fourth quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019; (ii) the slight increase in labor costs.

 

Real Property Operating Income

 

Our real property operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $35,867, representing a decrease of $50,482, or 58.5% as compared to $86,349 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was mainly attributable the decrease in rental revenue resulting from the loss of a tenant and the increase in real property operating expenses as described above.

 

Gross Profit from Medical Related Consulting Services and Gross Margin

 

Gross profit from medical related consulting services for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $1,169, with a gross margin of 8.2%.

 

Gross loss from Development Services and Sales of Developed Products and Gross Margin

 

Our gross loss from development services and sales of developed products for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $27,029, as compared to $5,230 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, a change of $21,799, or 416.8%.

 

Gross margin decreased to (824.6)% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from gross margin of (46.3)% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The significant decrease in gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the corresponding 2018 period were primarily attributable to: (i) the reduced scale of operations resulting from lower revenue, which is reflected in the allocation of fixed costs, mainly consisting of depreciation and labor costs, to cost of development services and sales of developed products; (ii) the overhead costs were allocated to less production volume due to the reduced operations during the first quarter of 2019. We expect that our gross margin from this segment will continue to be negative, and we can only generate a positive gross margin if we can increase our production, thereby enabling us to operate more efficiently. Although we are selling our development services and developed products at prices which are less than our cost, we believe that, in long-term, we will be able to operate this segment profitable because we are optimistic about the long-term prospect of exosome-based diagnostic and therapeutic industry and the market for our products. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to generate sufficient sales in this segment to operate profitably.

 

Other Operating Expenses

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, other operating expenses consisted of the following:

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, travel and entertainment expense increased by $129,488, or 223.5%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase was mainly due to increased business travel activities incurred and increased entertainment expenditure in order to enhance our visibility in the first quarter of 2019.

 

Other general and administrative expenses mainly consisted of academic sponsorship, Directors and Officers Insurance, and other miscellaneous items. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, other general and administrative expenses increased by $95,139, or 65.4%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to an increase in academic sponsorship incurred of approximately $30,000, an increase in Directors and Officers Insurance of approximately $34,000, and an increase in other miscellaneous items of approximately $31,000 resulting from our business expansion.

 

Loss from Operations

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment

 

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company, AHS, Avalon (BVI) Ltd. (dormant, is in process of being dissolved), Avalon RT 9, GenExosome, and Avactis is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of Avalon Shanghai and Beijing GenExosome, is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of our subsidiaries whose functional currency is the RMB are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, average rate of exchange for revenue, costs, and expenses and cash flows, and at historical exchange rates for equity. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the results of operations. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a non-cash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of $43,482 and $52,838 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. This non-cash gain had the effect of decreasing our reported comprehensive loss.

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

As a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss of $4,461,447 and $1,498,131 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had cash balance of approximately $1,769,000 and $2,252,000, respectively. These funds are kept in financial institutions located as follows:

 

Country:  March 31, 2019   December 31, 2018 
United States  $955,125    54.0%  $1,035,802    46.0%
China   814,166    46.0%   1,216,485    54.0%
Total cash  $1,769,291    100.0%  $2,252,287    100.0%

 

Under applicable PRC regulations, foreign invested enterprises, or FIEs, in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, a foreign invested enterprise in China is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the cumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends.

 

In addition, a portion of our businesses and assets are denominated in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the People’s Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the People’s Bank of China or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts. These currency exchange control procedures imposed by the PRC government authorities may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiary to transfer its net assets to the Parent Company through loans, advances or cash dividends.

 

The current PRC Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) Law and its implementing rules generally provide that a 10% withholding tax applies to China-sourced income derived by non-resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes unless the jurisdiction of incorporation of such enterprises’ shareholder has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.

 

The following table sets forth a summary of changes in our working capital from December 31, 2018 to March 31, 2019:

 

 

           December 31, 2018 to
March 31, 2019
 
   March 31,
2019
   December 31, 2018   Change   Percentage Change 
Working capital:                
Total current assets  $2,923,402   $3,625,432   $(702,030)   (19.4)%
Total current liabilities   2,663,753    1,141,720    1,522,033    133.3%
Working capital  $259,649   $2,483,712   $(2,224,063)   (89.5)%

Our working capital decreased by $2,224,063 to working capital of $259,649 at March 31, 2019 from working capital of $2,483,712 at December 31, 2018. The decrease in working capital was primarily attributable an increase in a loan payable – current portion of approximately $1,000,000, a decrease in cash of approximately $483,000, a decrease in prepaid expenses – related parties of approximately $34,000, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of approximately $197,000, an increase in accounts payable of approximately $34,000, an increase in accrued liabilities and other payables of approximately $432,000, an increase in accrued liabilities and other payables – related parties of approximately $34,000, an increase in interest payable of approximately $25,000, and an increase in VAT and other taxes payable of approximately $21,000, offset by a decrease in advance from customer – related party of approximately $15,000 and a decrease in deferred rental income of approximately $11,000.

 

Because the exchange rate conversion is different for the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of cash flows, the changes in assets and liabilities reflected on the consolidated statements of cash flows are not necessarily identical with the comparable changes reflected on the consolidated balance sheets.

Net cash flow used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $1,422,311, which primarily reflected our net loss of approximately $4,505,000, and the changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily consisting of a decrease in advance from customer – related party of approximately $15,000, and a decrease in deferred rental income of approximately $11,000, offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses – related parties of approximately $35,000, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of approximately $198,000, an increase in accounts payable of approximately $34,000, an increase in accrued liabilities and other payables of approximately $347,000, an increase in accrued liabilities and other payables – related parties of approximately $34,000, an increase in interest payable of approximately $25,000, and an increase in VAT and other taxes payable of approximately $21,000, and the add-back of non-cash items consisting of depreciation and amortization of approximately $139,000, stock-based compensation expense of approximately $2,273,000, and loss on equity method investment of approximately $13,000.

 

Net cash flow used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $416,234, which primarily reflected our net loss of approximately $1,551,000, and the changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily consisting of a decrease in accrued liabilities and other payables – related parties of approximately $14,000, and a decrease in tenants’ security deposit of approximately $19,000, offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of approximately $76,000, an increase in accrued liabilities and other payables of approximately $178,000, an increase in interest payable of approximately $237,000, an increase in VAT and other taxes payable of approximately $31,000, and the add-back of non-cash items consisting of depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $123,000, and stock-based compensation and service fees of approximately $526,000.

 

We expect our cash used in operating activities to increase due to the following:

 

the development and commercialization of exosome products;

 

an increase in professional staff and services including increased costs of being a public company; and

 

an increase in public relations and/or sales promotions for existing and/or new brands as we expand within existing markets or enter new markets.

Net cash flow used in investing activities was $87,371 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $7,852 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we made payment for purchase of property and equipment of approximately $76,000 and made payment for improvement of commercial real estate of approximately $11,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we made payment for purchase of property and equipment of approximately $8,000.

 

Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $1,000,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to net cash flow used in financing activities of $522,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we received proceeds from note payable – related party of $1,000,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we spent cash of approximately $523,000 on repurchase of our common stock.

 

Our capital requirements for the next twelve months primarily relate to working capital requirements, including salaries, fees related to third parties’ professional services, reduction of accrued liabilities, repay loan upon maturity, mergers, acquisitions and the development of business opportunities. These uses of cash will depend on numerous factors including our sales and other revenues, and our ability to control costs. All funds received have been expended in the furtherance of growing the business. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:

 

  an increase in working capital requirements to finance our current business;

 

  repayment for outstanding borrowings;

 

  the use of capital for mergers, acquisitions and the development of business opportunities;

 

  addition of administrative personnel as the business grows; and

 

  the cost of being a public company.

 

In April 2019, we received net proceeds of approximately $5.1 million from equity offering. Currently, we use our cash to support our operations and to provide working capital for our ongoing operations and obligations. We believe that it is not likely that we will not meet our anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.

 

Although we estimate that our current cash will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months, we need to either borrow funds or raise additional capital through equity or debt financings in order to support our future mergers or acquisitions and the development of our business opportunities. However, we cannot be certain that such capital (from our stockholders or third parties) will be available to us or whether such capital will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. Any such financing likely would be dilutive to existing stockholders and could result in significant financial operating covenants that would negatively impact our business.

 

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Contractual Obligations

 

We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The following tables summarize our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2019, and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We presently do not have off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

 

A portion of our operations are in China. Thus, a portion of our revenues and operating results may be impacted by exchange rate fluctuations between RMB and US dollars. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we had unrealized foreign currency translation gain of approximately $43,000 and $53,000, respectively, because of changes in the exchange rate.

 

Inflation

 

The effect of inflation on our revenue and operating results was not significant.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 

In connection with the preparation of the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, which are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of March 31, 2019 due to the significant deficiencies caused by the lack of segregation of duties resulting from our small size, which we previously reported in our Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2018 (“2018 10-K”), has not yet been remediated.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to material weakness) in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Shares transferred to Wenzhao Lu

 

On March 3, 2017, (i) the Company entered into and closed a Subscription Agreement with an accredited investor (the “March 2017 Accredited Investor”) pursuant to which the March 2017 Accredited Investor purchased 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“March 2017 Shares”) for a purchase price of $3,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”) and (ii) the Company, Avalon (Shanghai) Healthcare Technology Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Avalon Shanghai”), Beijing DOING Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd. (“DOING”), an unaffiliated third party, and the March 2017 Accredited Investor entered into a Share Subscription Agreement whereby DOING paid the Purchase Price to Avalon Shanghai on behalf of the March 2017 Accredited Investor. In connection with the Share Subscription Agreement, the March 2017 Accredited Investor agreed to transfer the March 2017 Shares to DOING upon DOING completing the registration of the investment with the Beijing Commerce Commission (“BCC”) and obtaining an Enterprise Overseas Investment Certificate (the “Investment Certificate”) from BCC. If DOING failed to obtain the Investment Certificate by March 2018, then Avalon Shanghai was required to pay $3,000,000 plus interest of 20% per annum to DOING upon the request of DOING (the “BCC Repayment Obligation”). In addition, on March 3, 2017 Wenzhao Lu, a director and shareholder of the Company, and DOING entered into a Warranty Agreement pursuant to which, Mr. Lu agreed to, among other items, acquire the March 2017 Shares from DOING at a per share price of $1.20 in the event DOING was unable to obtain the Investment Certificate.

 

On April 23, 2018, the Company, Avalon Shanghai, DOING and March 2017 Accredited Investor entered into a Supplementary Agreement Related to Share Subscription pursuant to which Avalon Shanghai paid RMB 8,256,000 (approximately $1.3 million based on the exchange rate on April 23, 2018) to DOING representing one-third of the DOING Investment plus 20% interest for the one-third DOING Investment resulting in a reduction in the March 2017 Shares by one-third to 2,000,000 shares. Further, the parties agreed that the BCC Repayment Obligation was extended to July 31, 2018.

 

On August 8, 2018, in an effort to preserve the Company’s cash balance and to fulfill Mr. Lu’s obligations under the Warranty Agreement, Mr. Lu, through a company controlled and wholly owned by Mr. Lu, agreed to acquire the remaining 2,000,000 March 2017 Shares from DOING for a purchase price of $2,000,000. The agreement was effective upon the date the March 2017 Shares were transferred to Mr. Lu, which occurred on April 18, 2019.
