The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2021 (the "2021 Form 10-K"). This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should specifically consider the various risk factors identified in our 2021 Form 10-K, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Overview We are focused on the consumer healthcare market inChina . We market and sell premium-quality healthcare, nutritional products and supplements. We also provide advertising and marketing services to clients which engage us to distribute their products. We offer our products and those of our clients through our pharmacies and sales offices, and through exhibition events we organize and sponsor, and person-to-person marketing. Our marketing business mainly focuses on proactively approaching customers such as by hosting events for clients, which we believe is ideally suited to marketing our products and those of our clients for which we perform advertising services because sales of healthcare, nutritional products and supplements are strengthened by ongoing personal contact and support, coaching and education among the Company and our clients towards how to achieve a healthy and active lifestyle. InSeptember 2021 , we completed the acquisition of nine pharmacies located inChengdu by acquiring the entities which owned the pharmacies for an aggregate purchase price ofRMB 34,635,845 , or approximatelyUS$5.31 million . InJuly 2021 , we completed the acquisition ofAixin Shangyan Hotel .Shangyan Hotel Company owns and operates a hotel located in theJinniu District ,Chengdu City. The hotel covers more than 8,000 square meters and has a large restaurant that can accommodate 600 people, 6 luxury dining rooms, a 200 square meter music tea house, 13 private tea rooms, 108 guest rooms and other supporting facilities. We acquired the hotel through an acquisition of the outstanding equity ofAixin Shangyan Hotel for a purchase price ofRMB 7,598,887 , or approximately$1.16 million . InJuly 2022 , we entered in an Equity Transfer Agreement (the "Transfer Agreement") withYunnan Sheng Shengyan Technology Co., Ltd. andChen Yun (collectively, the "Sellers"), the holders of all of the outstanding equity ofYunnan Runcansheng Technology Co., Ltd ("Runcansheng"). Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, onSeptember 30, 2022 , we acquired all of the outstanding equity of Runcansheng from the Sellers forRMB 31,557,820 (approximatelyUSD$4.4 million ), reduced by$116,802 the excess of the estimated net worth of Runcangsheng over its audited net worth as ofDecember 31, 2021 . In addition to transferring their respective equity interest in Runcangsheng, both Sellers agree to forgive any loans due to them from Runcangsheng (see Note 17). Runcangsheng. was established in April, 2020, and is headquartered in Luquan Yi and Miao Autonomous County, Kunming City,Yunnan Province . It is focused on promoting a healthy lifestyle through the use of foods believed to promote well-being, health foods, modernized versions of traditional Chinese medical products and plant extracts. Runcangsheng cultivates many of the raw materials used in its products, compounds the materials into easy to transport and use pre-packaged foods and distributes the products at the wholesale level. As life-styles inChina evolve, work pressures increase and the ingestion of meats and other western style foods increases, Runcangsheng seeks to design and market products intended to combat the increase in obesity, hypertension, insomnia and physical ailments associated with such changes. The acquisition of Runcangsheng will enable us to operate as a vertically integrated company, capable of formulating the kinds of health foods and other nutritional products and supplements suitable for our clients and marketing those products through our distribution channels. 28 InMarch 2020 , theWorld Health Organization announced that infections caused by the coronavirus disease of 2019 ("COVID-19") had become pandemic and national, provincial and local authorities inChina , including those whose jurisdictions includeChengdu , where our offices, hotel and pharmacies are located, adopted various regulations and orders, including "shelter in place" rules, restrictions on travel, mandates on the number of people that may gather in one location and closing non-essential businesses. Many of these measures have been relaxed from time to time in various localities due to the decrease in the prevalence of COVID-19. However, beginning in the second half of 2021 and continuing to date, the number of COVID-19 cases has fluctuated and increased again in many cities ofChina , includingSichuan Province , where we are located. As a result, the authorities inChengdu from time to time have reinstituted short-term lockdowns and restrictions on travel and the number of people that could gather at any location. During the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , all of our operations were materially adversely impacted by the measures and restrictions taken to limit the spread of the disease inChina andSichuan Province . We implemented procedures to promote employee and customer safety. These measures will not significantly increase our operating costs. However, we cannot predict with certainty what measures may be taken by the authorities inChengdu , our suppliers and customers and the impact these measures may have on our financial results for 2022.
Our acquisitions of pharmacies, the hotel and Runcangsheng should serve to offset the impact which the restrictions imposed in response to COVID-19 have had on our traditional direct marketing business. Nevertheless, there is no assurance that the acquisitions of these businesses will enable us to return to profitable operations in the immediate future. In addition to our ongoing operations, we seek to acquire interests in additional businesses through opportunities found by our management or presented by persons or firms which desire to take advantage of the perceived advantages of an Exchange Act registered corporation. We do not restrict our search to any specific business, industry, or geographical location and may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. It is the goal of our management, in particular, our Chairman,Quanzhong Lin to grow our business and to modify its capital structure in order to qualify for a listing on NASDAQ or the NYSE-American exchange. As part of this effort, we will continue to seek to acquire more businesses and to modify our capital structure as necessary to meet the requirements of the exchange to which we apply for
a listing. Results of Operations

Of the$5,298,503 in cash and cash equivalents on hand as ofSeptember 30, 2022 , we anticipate using approximately$4.3 million to complete the acquisition of Runcangsheng. Should we continue to incur operating losses and incur negative cash flow after completing such acquisition, we may have to seek to raise capital. We may also have to raise additional financing as our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business as a result of our acquisition of Runcangsheng. In the past we have funded our operations through the proceeds from private placements of equity and advances from our principal shareholder. Should we require capital to fund our business, we intend to finance our business by raising additional capital or, when available, borrowing additional funds. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders and could cause the price of our common stock to decrease. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations. Our ability to obtain funds through the issuance of debt or equity is dependent upon the state of the financial markets at such time as we may seek to raise funds. The state of the capital market markets may be adversely impacted by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to future and current impacts of global events such as COVID-19 and the war in theUkraine , increases in inflation and other risks detailed in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10K. Impact of Inflation
Our results of operations may be affected by inflation, particularly rising prices for products and other operating costs if we cannot pass such increases along to our customers in the form of higher prices for our products and services. Generally, we are not party to long term contracts and our inventory turns multiple times per year and we anticipate that we will be able to increase prices on products to reflect increases in the cost of inventory. 34 Contractual Obligations
We have no long-term fixed contractual obligations or commitments other than our agreement to acquire Runcangsheng.
Contingencies Our operations are conducted in the PRC and are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies inNorth America andWestern Europe . These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments inChina and foreign currency exchange rates. Our results may be adversely affected by changes in PRC government policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. In particular,China continues to maintain a zero COVID-19 policy which has caused government agencies from time to time to impose strict lockdowns and limits on the number of people that may gather in one place at any time. Certain of these measures have had a material adverse impact on our business and may continue to do so is they are imposed in the future. Our sales, purchases and expense transactions inChina are denominated in RMB and all of our assets and liabilities inChina are also denominated in RMB. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies under the current PRC law. InChina , foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions. Remittances in currencies other than RMB may require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America ("US GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, we believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to assist you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity withU.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("US GAAP"). The functional currency of AiXinZhongHong,Aixin Shangyan Hotel and Aixintang Pharmacies is Chinese Renminbi ("RMB"). The accompanying financial statements are translated from RMB and presented inU.S. dollars ("USD"). Use of Estimates In preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, and the reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 35 Accounts Receivable We maintain an allowance for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As ofSeptember 30, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 , the bad debt allowance was$484,346 and$213,787 , respectively. Revenue Recognition ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606"), became effective for us onJanuary 1, 2018 . Our revenue recognition disclosure reflects updated accounting policies that are affected by this new standard. We applied the "modified retrospective" transition method for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606. As revenues are and have been primarily from the delivery of products and the performance of services, and we have no significant post-delivery obligations, this did not result in a material recognition of revenue on the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the cumulative impact of applying this new standard. We made no adjustments to previously-reported total revenues, as those periods continue to be presented in accordance with our historical accounting practices under Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.
Revenue from sale of goods under Topic 606 is recognized in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of our products and services to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:
? executed contract(s) with customers that we believe are legally enforceable;
? identification of performance obligation in the respective contract;
? determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the
respective contract; ? allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
? recognition of revenue only when we satisfy each performance obligation.
Our revenue recognition policies for our operating segments are as follows:
Advertising and Products Advertising Revenue Commencing in the third quarter of 2019 we began to provide advertising services to our clients. Advertising contracts are signed to establish the price and advertising services to be provided. Pursuant to the advertising contracts, we provided advertising and marketing services to clients through exhibition events, conferences, and person-to-person marketing. We perform a credit assessment of each customer to assess the collectability of the contract price prior to entering into contracts. Most of the advertisement contracts designated that we perform advertising services for the client through exhibition events, conferences, and person-to-person marketing during the contracted period, regardless of the number of such events. As such, we determined that the performance obligation is satisfied over time during the contracted period and revenue is recognized accordingly. Such advertising revenue amounted to$0 and$445,215 for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Such advertising revenue amounted to$0 and$1,742,896 for the nine months ended September30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The functional currency of our business operations is RMB. For financial reporting purposes, RMB is translated into USD as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders' equity as "Accumulated other comprehensive income". Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income. There was no significant fluctuation in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date. We use FASB ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income". Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and all changes to the statements of stockholders' equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. Comprehensive loss for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021 consisted of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments.
