The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and
related notes included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.
See "Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." Our actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result
of certain factors discussed in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this report.
Overview
Since January 30, 2017, following a change of control, we have been engaged in
the business of developing and marketing nutritional products that promote
wellness and a healthy lifestyle. Our business to date has involved the purchase
of products from three suppliers in Taiwan and the sale of these products to
four unrelated customers, one of which accounted for all of our sales in the
years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. We did not have any sales during the
third quarter of 2021, the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 and the
first three quarters of 2019. We sell product in bulk to companies who may use
our products as ingredients in their products or sell the products they purchase
from us to their own customers.
All of our sales to date have been sales of cordyceps related products except
that, in in the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we sold metallothionein MT-3
elizer, a product that we do not currently sell. Cordyceps is a fungus that is
used in traditional Chinese medicine. Cordyceps sinensis has been described as a
medicine in old Chinese medical books and Tibetan medicine. It is a rare
combination of a caterpillar and a fungus and found at altitudes above 4500m in
Sikkim. We may also seek to market other products which we see as complimentary
to our present products; however, we have not entered into negotiations with
respect to the distribution of other products, and we cannot assure you that we
will be able to market any other products.
All of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 represents
sales to three customers and one customer, respectively. During 2021, our three
customers accounted for was 58.5%, 33.2% and 8.3%. Our sole customer for 2020
was the smallest of the three customers for 2021.
We believe that our failure to sell products in the third quarter of 2021 and
second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 resulted substantially from the COVID
- 19 pandemic and actions taken by governments to address the pandemic, as well
as a continuation of downturn in the market in the PRC for cordyseps products as
well as the political conditions in Hong Kong, and we cannot assure you that the
market will improve. We also cannot assure you the political instability in Hong
Kong will not affect our sales, since our customers in 2017 and 2018 were Hong
Kong based customers who sold their products in the PRC and none of these
customers has made purchases from us since the quarter ended December 31, 2018.
We cannot assure you that these factors will not affect our ability to generate
revenues in the future and, to the extent that any of these factors affects our
ability to generate revenue, we may not be able to continue in business.
At present, we have no full-time employees. Our only employee is our chief
executive officer who work for us on a part-time basis. We face significant
risks in implementing our business plan, as described under Item 1.Business -
Our Business and Proposed Business, including, but not limited to, our ability
to raise the necessary financing either through the sale of debt or equity
securities or through a loan facility, our ability to increase our customer base
and supply chain, our ability to increase our gross margins, our ability to hire
and retain qualified research and development, marketing and administrative
personnel, our ability to develop products and to market in the United States
and other western markets any products we may develop, our ability to comply
with any government regulations relating to the manufacture, distribution and
marketing any products we develop. We cannot assure you that we can or will
develop any products or generate revenue or profits in the future.

Our statement of operation reflects the amortization of common stock issued to
consultants in connection with our proposed chicken feed product. We issued a
total of 12,282,000 shares of common stock to consultants as stock grants
pursuant to agreements with the consultants in May and August 2021. The
agreements provide for the consultants to perform services described in the
contracts for the two-year period commencing the date of the agreements. The
shares were valued at $31,424,800, based on the market price of the common stock
on the respective dates of the agreements, and is being amortized over two-year
period starting from the date of the agreement using the straight-line method.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded stock-based
compensation of $7,651,417 and had deferred stock compensation of $23,773,383 as
of December 31, 2021 which will be recognized over the balance of the agreements
We require funds for our operations. At December 31, 2021, we had $95,248 in
cash, $598,000 in accounts receivables, which have been collected as of the date
of this annual report, and no inventory. Although we may seek to raise funds in
the equity market, we have no agreements or understandings with respect to any
funding and we can give no assurance as to the availability or terms of any such
financing. Because of our financial condition, the lack of sales in the four out
of eight quarters in 2021 and 2020, our reliance of sales primarily of one
product, along with the absence of an active market for our stock and our market
capitalization in relation to our financial performance, together with risk
related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the political and legal situation in Hong
Kong, it may be difficult for us to raise funds in the equity market, and, if we
are able to raise funds our stockholders may suffer significant dilution.
To the extent that we implement our business plan, we anticipate that we will
incur marketing and other expenses without any assurance that such expenses will
generate any significant revenue or net income. Because of our cash position, we
may use equity-based compensation for our employees and independent contractors.
Because of our low cash position, we may rely on loans from stockholders or
related parties, although we do not have any agreements or understandings at
this time and we may issue equity to attract employees and consultants to help
us develop our business plan.
Effects of COVID-19
Since our products are purchased by customers in Taiwan and Hong Kong primarily
as one ingredient of a product to be sold to their customers, our business has
been and may continue to be impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and
the actions taken by the governments of the PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan as well as
any other countries in which we may seek to sell products, as they effect
manufacturers and their customers.
• The effect of COVID-19 on the ability of our customers and potential
customers to manufacture products.
• The financial health of our potential customers.
• Since our customers use our products as an ingredient in their products, the
inability of the customer to obtain other ingredients may affect their
willingness or ability to purchase our product.
• The ability of our customers to ship their products to China and the ability
of their customers to distribute product to retail markets.
• The willingness or ability of the ultimate purchasers in the PRC and any
other countries to which our customers sell products to purchase products
with our ingredients and their perception as to whether the products may
have beneficial effects to them.
• The extent to which any quarantine which may be imposed affects the
willingness or ability of consumers to purchase products with our
ingredients.
• The perceived benefit, if any, to consumers of products with our
ingredients.
• The extent to which the purchase of products with our ingredients is a low
priority item for a population whose disposable income may have decreased as
a result of COVID-19 and the steps taken by governments to curb the spread
of infection.

Inflation and Supply Chain Disruption
After years of relatively low inflation, during the past year, countries
throughout the world, including Asia, have be subject to inflation at a rate
significantly higher than in recent years. The slowdown resulting from the
COVID-19 pandemic and steps taken by governments to address the pandemic,
including the recent lockdown in a number of Chinese provinces and cities, have
created major supply chain disruptions. Although we did not purchase any
inventory in 2021, expect that both the inflationary pressures and supply chain
disruption that affect other industries will affect us. These factors may
result in delays in receipt of products we order, and increased costs which we
may not be able to pass on to consumers. The recent Russian invasion of Ukraine
has also exacerbated the inflationary and supply chain issues. We cannot assure
you that our business will not be materially impair by inflationary and supply
chain disruption.
Results of Operations
Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, we had revenue of $1,197,500, representing
sales to three customers. We had no revenue for the third quarter of 2021. Our
gross profit was $259,500, and our gross margin was 21.7%. We had operating
expenses of $7,953,078, representing research and development expenses of
$5,285,175 and selling, general and administrative expenses of $2,667,903, which
included stock-based compensation of $7,651,417 paid to consultant working on
research and development and marketing and related expense relating to our
proposed chicken feed product. As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss
of $7,697,828, or $(0.14) per share (basic and diluted).
For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had revenue of $687,964, representing
sales to one customer in the first quarter of the year. Our gross profit was
$159,404, and our gross margin was 23.2%. We had operating expenses of $289,867,
primarily professional fees relating to our status as a public company and rent
expense, interest expense of $5,082 and a net loss before income tax credit
$135,545, an income tax credit of $18,092, and a net loss of $117,453, or
$(0.00) per share (basic and diluted).
We imputed interest at the rate of 4% on the advances made to us by a
stockholder in the amount of $4,250 and $5,082 for the years ended December 31,
2021 and 2020, respectively.
Because of our dependence on a few customers, and we had three customers in 2020
and 2021, our revenue in any quarter is dependent upon both the timing of orders
from customers and the delivery of products from our suppliers.

Going Concern
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a
going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation
of liabilities in the normal course of business. We had minimal cash as of
December 31, 2021, had limited gross profit and incurred a loss from operations
for the year ended December 31, 2021 and past few years. These factors, among
others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Although we propose to fund our operations through sales of cordyceps related
products and we are looking to develop our chicken feed product, to date our
sales have not been significant, we have not generated sales in four quarters
during 2021 and 2020, and we do not have any new product which will be able to
be marketed in the near future, if at all. Because of the lack of sales and the
absence of any active trading market for our common stock, our financial
condition and our lack of an operating history, we will have difficulty raising
funds in the equity market on reasonable, if any, terms, and we have had to on
advances from a minority stockholder and our officer. If we cannot generate
revenue from our products, we may not be able to continue in business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the
reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.
Stock-Based Compensation
We recognize compensation expense for stock-based compensation in accordance
with ASC Topic 718. For employee and non-employee stock-based awards, we
calculate the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the
option-pricing model for stock options and the quoted price of its common stock
for unrestricted shares; the expense is recognized over the service period for
awards expected to vest. We consider many factors when estimating expected
forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class and historical
experience.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting
pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements
may be expected to cause a material impact on our financial statements.
