It covers medical products, health supplements, nutritional foods, medical devices, health appliances, fitness, health management, health consulting and many other production and service areas closely related to human health. The Great Health Industry is an emerging industry with huge market potential, especially inChina . The marketing and competitive strategy of our alcohol business is consistent with our health care product business. The market and customers of our liquor business are mainly mainlandChina andHong Kong . According to the "China Great Health Industry Strategic Planning and Enterprise Strategy Consulting Report" published byQianzhan Industry Institute (???????), the scale of the Great Health Industry in 2017 wasUSD 947.42 billion , which increased to overUSD 1,069.66 billion in 2018. The report predictedUSD 1,341.66 billion volume for 2019 and forecast overUSD 1,528.09 billion for 2020. In the years till 2023, the average annual compound growth rate will be approximately 12.55%, and with the Great Health Industry reaching approximatelyUSD 2,153.08 billion in 2023. 13 Our Strategies We are focused on achieving long-term growth in revenues, cash flow and profit. We believe that we can achieve this by developing multiple distribution channels and strengthening our marketing and promotions, leading to better product turnover and revenue. We also expect to broaden our product range as well as product differentiation in the future. Based on the business experience accumulated over the years, we believe we can improve the efficiency of our supply chain with time-saving and cost-saving supply chain management and marketing planning for the target customer base with our one-stop service.
Our primary aims are (i) to strengthen our product saleability; (ii) to cut
logistics cost and time spent and (iii) to further expand the market share in
? Collaborate with third-party e-commerce platforms to boost product exposure,
e.g. Tmall, Jingdong mall
? Deliver healthcare knowledge and consultation service via social media and
We-media
? Build brand image and reputation through customer experience and word of mouth
? Increase the number of downstream distributors and wholesalers
? Strengthen the relationship with manufacturers, suppliers, drug agents and
distributors ? Pursue strategic acquisitions and partnerships We intend to develop both online and offline distribution channels to increase sales volume and revenue. We expect to partner with third party e-commerce platforms, social media and We-media such as Wechat,TikTok and Xiaohongshu to build our online presence. We believe that online channels will allow us to provide real-time nutrition and healthcare consultation services as well as increase customer engagement and retention. Starting from the second half of 2020, we have launched our "nutrition consulting" support services using a major social media software to allow customer groups to receive pre-purchase consultation and after-sales service for products anytime and anywhere. Our current offline sales channel relies on distributors and sales agents. To enhance the visibility and marketability of our products and services and to improve brand recognition and awareness, we hope to develop store-in-shop and counter experiences. We also intend to partner with high-end gyms to form nutrition clubs and hold weight-loss training camps, health assessment and fitness training camps and other activities. We intend to create a 'one-stop' solution for our customers by creating a multi-channel health product supply and retail system. We not only provide personalized consultation service to our customers, but also summarize and analyze our customer feedback and experiences through our consultation service and after-sales service. We intend to share this data with our manufacturers and supply chain partners to develop products and services that better meet the demands of our customers. By pooling and addressing the needs of downstream businesses and combining it with the Consumer to Manufacturer model for upstream transformation, we anticipate establishing a close relationship between manufacturers and suppliers. We believe this model can also reduce circulation costs and improve the efficiency of our supply chain. The main sales model of wine business is to develop online and offline distribution channels to increase sales and revenue. In terms of online sales, we hope to cooperate with third-party e-commerce platforms, social media, WeChat,Tiktok , Xiaohongshu and other We Media to build our online image. For example, we have built the official flagship store ofXiao Xiang Health on the Tmall e-commerce platform. The offline sales channel mainly cooperates with dealers for sales, mainly relying on distributors and sales agents. 14 Competition We operate in a highly competitive and fragmented industry that is sensitive to price and service. We compete with leading e-commerce companies such as Alibaba (China ) which may offer substantially the same or similar product offerings as us. We also compete with businesses that focus on particular merchant categories or markets such as UNI HEALTH (HK stock code: 02211) and ALI HEALTH (HK stock code:0241). We also compete with traditional cash payments and other popular online shopping websites and apps, and other traditional media companies that provide discounts on products and services. We believe the principal competitive factors in our market include the following: ? Breadth of member base and the products and services featured. ? Close and fast pre-sales and after-sales service response. ? Ability to reduce the product turnover time and inventory cost. ? Relationship and bargaining power with supplier and manufacturer. ? Healthcare product effectiveness and acceptance from customer. ? Local presence and understanding of local business trends.
? Ability to deliver a high volume of relevant services and information to
consumers. ? Ability to produce high purchase rates for products and services among members. ? Strength and recognition of our brand. Although we believe we compete favorably on the factors described above, many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, larger product and services offerings, larger customer base and greater brand recognition. These factors may allow our competitors to benefit from their existing customer base with lower development costs or to respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. These competitors may engage in more extensive research and development efforts, undertake more far-reaching marketing campaigns and adopt more aggressive pricing policies, which may allow them to build a larger customer base more effectively than us. Our competitors may develop products or services that are similar to our products and services or that achieve greater market acceptance than our products and services. In addition, although we do not believe that customer payment terms are a principal competitive factor in our market, they may become such a factor, and we may be unable to compete
on such terms.
Government and Industry Regulations
We are subject to the general laws in
Product Liability and Consumers Protection
Product liability claims may arise if any of our healthcare products have a harmful effect on a consumer, who may make a claim for damages or compensation as an injured party. The General Principles of the Civil Law of the PRC, which became effective inJanuary 1987 , state that manufacturers and sellers of defective products causing property damage or injury shall incur civil liabilities for such damage or injuries. The Product Quality Law of the PRC was enacted in 1993 and amended in 2000 to strengthen the quality control of products and protect consumers' rights and interests. Under this law, manufacturers and distributors who produce or sell defective products may be subject to confiscation of earnings from such sales, revocation of business licenses and imposition of fines, and in severe circumstances, may be subject to criminal liability. The Law of the PRC on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Consumers was promulgated onOctober 31, 1993 and became effective onJanuary 1, 1994 to protect consumers when they purchase or use goods or services. All business operators must comply with this law when they manufacture or sell goods and/or provide services to customers. In extreme situations, product manufacturers and distributors may be subject to criminal liability if their goods or services lead to the death or injuries of customers or other third parties.
Summary of Financial Information
We have been significantly impacted by COVID-19 global pandemic. In addition to the devastating effects on human life, the pandemic is having a negative ripple effect on the global economy, leading to disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets.China and many other countries have issued policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease. COVID-19 andChina's response to the pandemic are significantly affecting the economy. There are no comparable events that provide guidance as to the effect the COVID-19 pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate effect of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the effects on the economy, the markets we serve, our business or
our operations.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States (GAAP). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) and Accounting Standards Update (ASU) of theFinancial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). All adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These adjustments consist of normal and recurring accruals, as well as non-recurring charges. The consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the periods are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal. 20 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant areas for which management uses estimates include:
? revenue recognition, ? sales returns and allowances; ? inventory; ? estimated lives for tangible and intangible assets; ? income tax valuation allowances; and These estimates require the use of judgment as future events and the effect of these events cannot be predicted with certainty. The estimates will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired and as more information is obtained. We evaluate and update our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and we may consult outside experts to assist as considered necessary.
Accounts receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from completion of service. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer's financial condition, the customer credit-worthiness and their payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. At the end of fiscal year, the Company specifically evaluates individual customer's financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the collection of accounts receivables. The Company will consider the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As ofDecember 31, 2022 and 2021, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value (net realizable value), cost being determined on a first-in-first-out method. The Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand. As ofDecember 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record an allowance for obsolete inventories, nor have there been any write-offs. Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
Residual Expected useful lives value Furniture, fixture and equipment 3 years 5 % Motor vehicle 3.33 to 4 years 5 % Leasehold improvement 2 years 5 % 21 Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations. Intangible assets Intangible assets represented trademarks of their products and are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any recognized impairment loss. Amortization is provided over the term of their registrations on a straight-line basis, which is 10 years and will expire in 2028.
Amortization expense for the years ended
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", all long-lived assets such as plant and equipment, as well as intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. There has been no impairment charge for the periods presented. Revenue recognition
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASC 606"). Under ASC 606, a performance obligation is a promise within a contract to transfer a distinct good or service, or a series of distinct goods and services, to a customer. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied and the customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for goods or services. Under the standard, a contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: ? identify the contract with a customer; ? identify the performance obligations in the contract; ? determine the transaction price;
? allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
? recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.
Currently, the Company operates two business segments.
Healthcare Business mainly provides health consulting advisory services and healthcare and wellness products to the customers.
Revenue is earned from the rendering of health consulting advisory services to the customers. The Company recognizes services revenue over the period in which such services are performed. Amounts expected to be recognized as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified as current portion of deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Amounts not expected to be recognized as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified as deferred revenue, net of current portion. The sale and distribution of the healthcare products, such as (i)Nutrition Catering (ii) Special Health Food (iii) Health Supplement and (iv) Skincare, is the only performance obligation under the fixed-fee arrangements. Revenue is recognized from the sale of their healthcare products upon delivery to the customers, whereas the title and risk of loss are fully transferred to the customers. The Company records its revenues, net of value added taxes ("VAT") on the majority of the products at the rate of 17% on the invoiced value of sales. The cost, such as shipping cost and material cost, is recognized when the product delivered to the customers. The Company records its cost including
taxes. 22 Wine Business mainly provides the wine products to the customers. Revenue is recognized from the sale of wine products upon delivery to the customers, whereas the title and risk of loss are fully transferred to the customers. The Company records its revenues, net of value added taxes ("VAT") on the majority of the products at the rate of 17% on the invoiced value of sales. The Company recorded product sales returns$0 and$148,208 for the years endedDecember 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The cost, such as shipping cost and material cost, is recognized when the product delivered to the customers. The Company records its cost including taxes. Income taxes The Company adopted the ASC 740 Income tax provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13. The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary. Leases The Company adopts the FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02 "Leases (Topic 842)." for all periods presented. This standard requires lessees to recognize lease assets ("right of use") and related lease obligations ("lease liabilities") on the balance sheet for leases with terms in excess of 12 months.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in finance lease ROU assets and finance lease liabilities in the 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 and finance lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized atJanuary 1, 2019 based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term discounted using the rate implicit in the lease. In cases where the implicit rate is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the
lease term. 23
Commitments and contingencies
The Company follows the ASC 450-20, Commitments to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company orun -asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings orun -asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Paragraph 820-10-35-37") to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are described below:
Level 1 Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2 Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in
Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the
reporting date.
Level 3 Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated
by market data. 24 Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
Recent accounting pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
Accounting Standards Recently Adopted
InAugust 2020 , the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This ASU reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock and amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. In addition, this ASU improves and amends the related earnings per share guidance. This standard became effective for the Company beginning onJanuary 1, 2022 . Adoption is either a modified retrospective method or a fully retrospective method of transition. The Company adopted this guidance effectiveJanuary 1, 2022 , and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. InMay 2021 , the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer's Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. This ASU clarifies the accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (i.e. warrants) so that the transaction should be treated as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning afterDecember 15, 2021 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance effectiveJanuary 1, 2022 , and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. InDecember 2022 , the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. This ASU defers the sunset date of Topic 848, which provides relief to entities affected by reference rate reform. The ASU defers the sunset date of Topic 848 fromDecember 31, 2022 , toDecember 31, 2025 . The standard is effective immediately and the Company adopted the standard inDecember 2022 with no financial impact. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2020-04, for which this ASU 2022-06 relates, will have on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
