NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
CONDITION (continued)
Going Concern
The Company is a clinical-stage, vertically
integrated, leading CellTech bio-developer dedicated to advancing and empowering innovative, transformative immune effector cell
therapy, exosome technology, as well as COVID-19 related diagnostics and therapeutics. The Company also provides strategic advisory
and outsourcing services to facilitate and enhance its clients’ growth and development, as well as competitiveness in healthcare
and CellTech industry markets. The Company also develops related products for sale and licensure in the United States and the
People’s Republic of China. In addition, the Company owns commercial real estate that houses its headquarters in Freehold,
New Jersey. The Company did not generate any revenue from medical related consulting services segment and development services
and sales of developed products segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. These unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among
other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $38,941,059 at September 30, 2020, and
has incurred recurring net loss and negative cash flow from operating activities of $9,579,122 and $6,185,198 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The Company has a limited operating history and its continued growth is dependent upon
the re-commencing of medical consulting services which was completed in December 2019 to its only few clients who are related
parties and generating rental revenue from its income-producing real estate property in New Jersey and performing development
services for hospitals and other customers and sales of developed products to hospitals and other customers; hence generating
revenues, and obtaining additional financing to fund future obligations and pay liabilities arising from normal business operations.
In addition, the current cash balance cannot be projected to cover the operating expenses for the next twelve months from the
release date of this report. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital,
implement its business plan, and generate significant revenues. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in
its efforts to generate significant revenues, maintain sufficient cash balance or report profitable operations or to continue
as a going concern. The Company plans on raising capital through the sale of equity to implement its business plan. However, there
is no assurance these plans will be realized and that any additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory
terms and conditions, if any.
The occurrence of an uncontrollable event such
as the COVID-19 pandemic had negatively impact on the Company’s operations. Some tenants have delayed on rent payment and
our occupancy of our rental property has decreased. Our general development operations have continued during the COVID-19 pandemic
and we have not had significant disruption. However, we are uncertain if the COVID-19 pandemic will impact future operations at
our laboratory, or our ability to collaborate with other laboratories and universities. In addition, we are unsure if the COVID-19
pandemic will impact future clinical trials. Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, the duration of business disruption
and reduced traffic, the related financial effect cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but is expected to adversely impact
the Company’s business for the year of 2020.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts
or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 include the allowance for doubtful accounts,
the useful life of property and equipment and investment in real estate, 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.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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, rent receivable, deferred financing costs, prepaid expenses and other current
assets, accrued liabilities and other payables, accrued liabilities and other payables – related parties, operating lease
obligation, tenants’ security deposit, 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
and Cash Equivalents
A portion of the Company’s cash
is maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC. Balances at state-owned banks within the PRC are covered by insurance up
to RMB 500,000 (approximately $74,000) per bank. Any balance over RMB 500,000 per bank in PRC will not be covered. At September
30, 2020, cash balances held in the PRC are RMB 1,302,475 (approximately $192,000), of which, RMB 793,010 (approximately $117,000)
was not covered by such limited 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.
The Company maintains a portion of its
cash in bank and financial institution deposits within U.S. that at times may exceed federally-insured limits of $250,000. The
Company manages this credit risk by concentrating its cash balances in high quality financial institutions and by periodically
evaluating the credit quality of the primary financial institutions holding such deposits. The Company has not experienced any
losses in such bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts. At September 30, 2020,
the Company’s cash balances in United States bank accounts had approximately $539,000 in excess of the federally-insured
limits.
At September 30, 2020, the Company’s
cash balances by geographic area were as follows:
Country:
September 30, 2020
United States
$ 1,203,710
86.3 %
China
191,800
13.7 %
Total cash
$ 1,395,510
100.0 %
For purposes
of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months
or less when purchased and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at September
30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 trade accounts receivable. 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 is limited due to generally short payment
terms. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk.
Investment
in Unconsolidated Company – Epicon Biosciences 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 5 for discussion of equity method
investment.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes
revenue under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC
606”). 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:
●
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 goods or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of a “distinct”
goods 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 goods or
service is not distinct, the goods or service is combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle of goods or services
is identified that is distinct.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue Recognition
(continued)
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:
● 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.
Revenue recognition
criteria:
● 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 has determined that the ASC
606 does not apply to rental contracts, which are within the scope of other revenue recognition accounting standards.
Rental income from operating leases is
recognized on a straight-line basis under the guidance of ASC 842. Lease payments under tenant leases are recognized on a straight-line
basis over the term of the related leases. The cumulative difference between lease revenue recognized under the straight-line
method and contractual lease payments are included in rent receivable on the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company does not offer promotional
payments, customer coupons, rebates or other cash redemption offers to its customers.
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.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Per Share Data (continued)
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 summarizes the securities
that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive:

Reclassification

financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Recent Accounting
Standards
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 adoption of ASU 2018 – 13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU
2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“Topic 326”). The ASU introduces a new accounting
model, the Current Expected Credit Losses model (“CECL”), which requires earlier recognition of credit
losses and additional disclosures related to credit risk. The CECL model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement
objective for the recognition of credit losses at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. ASU 2016-13 is effective
for annual period beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods.
The Company expects that the adoption will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
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.

METHOD INVESTMENT
As of September 30, 2020 and December
31, 2019, the equity method investment amounted to $488,374 and $483,101, respectively. The investment represents the Company’s
subsidiary, Avalon Shanghai’s interest in Epicon Biotech Co., Ltd. (“Epicon”). Epicon was incorporated on August
14, 2018 in PRC. Avalon Shanghai and the other unrelated company, Jiangsu Unicorn Biological Technology Co., Ltd. (“Unicorn”),
accounted for 40% and 60% of the total ownership, respectively. Epicon is focused on cell preparation, third party testing, biological
sample repository for commercial and scientific research purposes and the clinical transformation of scientific achievements.
The Company treats the equity investment
in the consolidated financial statements under the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded
at cost, adjusted for any excess of the Company’s share of the incorporated-date fair values of the investee’s identifiable
net assets over the cost of the investment (if any). Thereafter, the investment is adjusted for the post incorporation change
in the Company’s share of the investee’s net assets and any impairment loss relating to the investment.
For the three months ended September 30,
2020 and 2019, the Company’s share of Epicon’s net loss was $14,966 and $25,266, respectively, which was included
in loss from equity-method investment in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
loss. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s share of Epicon’s net loss was $35,382

NOTE 9 - STATUTORY
RESERVE
Avalon Shanghai and Beijing Genexosome
operate in the PRC, are required to reserve 10% of their net profit after income tax, as determined in accordance with the PRC
accounting rules and regulations. Appropriation to the statutory reserve by the Company is based on profit arrived at under PRC
accounting standards for business enterprises for each year.
The profit arrived at must be set
off against any accumulated losses sustained by the Company in prior years, before allocation is made to the statutory reserve.
Appropriation to the statutory reserve must be made before distribution of dividends to shareholders. The appropriation is required
until the statutory reserve reaches 50% of the registered capital. This statutory reserve is not distributable in the form of
cash dividends. The Company did not make any appropriation to statutory reserve for Avalon Shanghai and Beijing Genexosome during
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as they incurred net losses in the period.
NOTE 10 –
RESTRICTED NET ASSETS
A portion of the Company’s operations
are conducted through its PRC subsidiaries, which can only pay dividends out of their retained earnings determined in accordance
with the accounting standards and regulations in the PRC and after they have met the PRC requirements for appropriation to statutory
reserve. In addition, a portion of the Company’s 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 the Company’s PRC subsidiaries to transfer
their net assets to the Parent Company through loans, advances or cash dividends.
Schedule I of Article 5-04 of Regulation
S-X requires the condensed financial information of the parent company to be filed when the restricted net assets of consolidated
subsidiaries exceed 25 percent of consolidated net assets as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year. For purposes
of this test, restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries shall mean that amount of the registrant’s proportionate
share of net assets of its consolidated subsidiaries (after intercompany eliminations) which as of the end of the most recent
fiscal year may not be transferred to the parent company in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends without the consent
of a third party.
The Company’s PRC subsidiaries’
net assets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 did not exceed 25% of the Company’s consolidated net assets. Accordingly,
the Parent Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have not been required in accordance with Rule 5-04 and
Rule 12-04 of SEC Regulation S-X.

Litigation
From time to time, the Company is subject
to ordinary routine litigation incidental to its normal business operations. The Company is not currently a party to, and its
property is not subject to, any material legal proceedings, except as set forth below.
On October 25, 2017, Genexosome entered
into and closed a Stock Purchase Agreement with Beijing Genexosome and Yu Zhou, MD, PhD, the sole shareholder of Beijing Genexosome,
pursuant to which Genexosome acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of Beijing Genexosome in consideration of a
cash payment in the amount of $450,000, of which $100,000 is still owed. Further, on October 25, 2017, Genexosome entered into
and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Dr. Zhou, pursuant to which the Company acquired all assets, including all intellectual
property and exosome separation systems, held by Dr. Zhou pertaining to the business of researching, developing and commercializing
exosome technologies. In consideration of the assets, Genexosome paid Dr. Zhou $876,087 in cash, transferred 500,000 shares of
common stock of the Company to Dr. Zhou and issued Dr. Zhou 400 shares of common stock of Genexosome. Further, The
Company had not been able to realize the financial projections provided by Dr. Zhou at the time of the acquisition and has decided
to impair the intangible asset associated with this acquisition to zero. Dr. Zhou was terminated as Co-CEO of Genexosome
on August 14, 2019. Further, on October 28, 2019, Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital (“Research
Institute”) filed a Complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio Eastern Division against
Dr. Zhou, Li Chen, the Company and Genexosome with various claims against the Company and Genexosome including misappropriation
of trade secrets in violation of the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 and violation of Ohio Uniform Trade Secrets Act. Research
Institute is seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, exemplary damages, injunctive relief and other equitable relief. The
Company intends to vigorously defend against this action and pursue all available legal remedies. The civil case against
Avalon is stayed pending resolution of the criminal proceedings against Dr. Zhou and Li Chen, and while there can be no assurances,
the Company believes it has substantial legal and factual defenses to the Research Institute’s claims and the likelihood
of any findings of liability for the Company cannot be assessed at this time.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2020 and 2019 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes to
those unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that are included elsewhere in this report. Our discussion includes
forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives,
expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements and Business sections in our Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2020. We use
words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,”
“ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,”
“should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.
Impact of COVID-19
on our Operations, Financial Condition, Liquidity and Results of Operations
The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
on our operations is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence,
including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic,
and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or us, may determine are needed.
The occurrence of COVID-19 pandemic had
negatively impact on our operations. Some tenants have delayed on rent payment. Our general development operations have continued
during the COVID-19 pandemic and we have not had significant disruption. However, we are uncertain if the COVID-19 pandemic will
impact future operations at our laboratory, or our ability to collaborate with other laboratories and universities. In addition,
we are unsure if the COVID-19 pandemic will impact future clinical trials. Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, the
duration of business disruption and reduced traffic, the related financial effect cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but
is expected to adversely impact the Company’s business for the year of 2020.
We have limited cash available to fund
planned operations and although we have other sources of capital described below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources,”
management continues to pursue various financing alternatives to fund our operations so we can continue as a going concern. However,
the COVID-19 pandemic has created significant economic uncertainty and volatility in the credit and capital markets. Management
plans to secure the necessary financing through the issue of new equity and/or the entering into of strategic partnership arrangements
but the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our ability to raise additional capital is unknown and will depend on future
developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak
and new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. We may not be able to raise sufficient additional
capital and may tailor our operations based on the amount of funding we are able to raise in the future. Nevertheless, there is
no assurance that these initiatives will be successful. Further, there is no assurance that capital available to us in any future
financing will be on acceptable terms.
Overview
We are a
clinical-stage, vertically integrated, leading CellTech bio-developer dedicated to advancing and empowering innovative, transformative
immune effector cell therapy, exosome technology, as well as COVID-19 related diagnostics
and therapeutics. We also provide strategic advisory and outsourcing services to facilitate and enhance our clients' growth and
development, as well as competitiveness in healthcare and CellTech industry markets. Through our subsidiary structure with unique
integration of verticals from innovative R&D to automated bioproduction and accelerated
clinical development, we are establishing a leading role in the fields of cellular immunotherapy (including CAR-T/NK), exosome
technology (ACTEX™), and regenerative therapeutics.
Avalon achieves and fosters seamless integration
of unique verticals to bridge and accelerate innovative research, bio-process development, clinical programs and product commercialization.
Avalon’s upstream innovative research includes:
●
Co-development of Avalon Clinical-grade Tissue-specific Exosome (“ACTEX™”) with Weill Cornell Medicine.
●
Novel therapeutic and diagnostic targets development utilizing QTY-code protein design technology with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) including using the QTY code protein design technology for development of a hemofiltration device to treat Cytokine Storm.
●
Co-development of next generation, transposon-based,
multi-target CAR-T, CAR-NK and other immune effector cell therapeutic modalities with Arbele Corp
●
Strategic partnership with the University of
Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU) in Vienna, Austria to develop an S-layer vaccine that can be administered by an intranasal
or oral route against SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 disease.
25
Avalon’s midstream bio-processing
and bio-production facility is located in Nanjing, China with state-of-the-art, automated GMP and QC/QA infrastructure for standardized
bio-manufacturing of clinical-grade cellular products involved in our clinical programs in immune effector cell therapy, regenerative
therapeutics, as well as bio-banking.
Avalon’s downstream medical team
and facility consists of top-rated affiliated hospital network and experts specialized in hematology, oncology, cellular immunotherapy,
hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell transplant, as well as regenerative therapeutics. Our major clinical programs include:
● AVA-001: Avalon has initiated its first-in-human clinical trial of CD19
CAR-T candidate, AVA-001 in August 2019 at the Hebei Yanda Lu Daopei Hospital and Beijing Lu Daopei Hospital in China (the world’s
single largest CAR-T treatment network with over 600 patients being treated with CAR-T) for the indication of relapsed/refractory
B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. The AVA-001 candidate (co-developed with China Immunotech Co. Ltd)
is characterized by the utilization of 4-1BB (CD137) co-stimulatory signaling pathway, conferring a strong anti-cancer activity
during pre-clinical study. It also features a shorter bio-manufacturing time which leads to the advantage of prompt treatment to
patients where timing is important related hematologic malignancies. Avalon has plans to recruit 20 patients (under registered
clinical trial NCT03952923) for safety and efficacy studies.
● AVA-101: Avalon’s transposon-based, multi-targeted CAR-T candidate, AVA-101 (co-developed
with Arbele Corp.) will enter pre-clinical process development and validation phase. AVA-101 features non-viral, transposon-engineered
CAR-T with multiple anti-cancer targets, as well as possessing molecular safety-switch mechanism to minimize the side effects,
such as cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity, often associated with conventional CAR-T cellular therapy. Following the pre-clinical
process development and validation phase, Avalon anticipates that it intends to pursue first-in-human clinical study of this next
generation of potentially more effective and safer CAR-T candidate.
● ACTEX™: Stem cell-derived Avalon Clinical-grade Tissue-specific Exosomes (ACTEX™) is
one of the core technology platforms that has been co-developed by Avalon GloboCare and Weill Cornell Medicine. The Company formed
a strategic partnership with HydroPeptide, LLC, a leading epigenetics skin care company, to engage in co-development and commercialization
of a series of clinical-grade, exosome-based cosmeceutical and orthopedic products. As part of this agreement, the Company signed
a three-way Material Transfer Agreement between Avalon GloboCare, HydroPeptide and Weill Cornell Medicine.
● FLASH-CAR™: The Company advanced its next generation immune cell therapy using FLASH-CAR™
technology co-developed with the Company’s strategic partner Arbele Limited. The adaptable FLASH-CAR™ platform can
be used to create personalized cell therapy from a patient’s own cells, as well as off-the-shelf cell therapy from a universal
donor.
● AVA-Trap™: Avalon’s AVA-Trap™ therapeutic program plans to enter animal model
testing followed by expedited clinical studies with the goal of providing an effective therapeutic option to combat COVID-19 and
other life-threatening conditions involving cytokine storms. The Company initiated a sponsored research and co-development project
with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) led by Professor Shuguang Zhang as Principal Investigator in May 2019. Using the
unique QTY code protein design platform, six water-soluble variant cytokine receptors have been successfully designed and tested
to show binding affinity to the respective cytokines.
We generated revenue by providing 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 rental commercial real property
in New Jersey, where we are headquartered. We discontinued sales of exosome isolation systems in China and the United States through
our joint venture Genexosome Technologies, Inc. However, we are actively developing other unrelated proprietary exosome related
products for sale or licensure.
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
Use of 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, the useful life of property and equipment and investment in real estate, 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.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue
under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).
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:
● 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
goods or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of a “distinct” goods
or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met:
● The customer can benefit from the goods or service
either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e., the goods or service is capable
of being distinct).
● The entity’s promise to transfer the goods or
service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (i.e., the promise to transfer the goods
or service is distinct within the context of the contract).
If a goods or service is not distinct,
the goods 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.
27
Types of revenue:
● 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 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 have determined that the ASC 606 does
not apply to rental contracts, which are within the scope of other revenue recognition accounting standards.
Rental income from operating leases is
recognized on a straight-line basis under the guidance of ASC 842. Lease payments under tenant leases are recognized on a straight-line
basis over the term of the related leases. The cumulative difference between lease revenue recognized under the straight-line method
and contractual lease payments are included in rent receivable on the consolidated balance sheets.
We do not offer promotional payments, customer
coupons, rebates or other cash redemption offers to our customers.
Income Taxes
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.
Recent Accounting Standards

standards, please, refer to Recent Accounting Standards in Note 3 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements accompanying this report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of Results of Operations
for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
Revenues
For the three months ended September 30,
2020, we had real property rental revenue of $324,982, as compared to $264,141 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an
increase of $60,841, or 23.0%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had real property rental revenue of $923,205, as
compared to $795,656 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $127,549, or 16.0%. The increase was primarily
attributable to the increase of tenants in 2020 periods. We expect that our revenue from real property rent will remain in its
current quarterly level with minimal increase in the near future. We are unsure of the short and long term financial impact of
COVID -19 on our ability to collect rental income or on our overall building occupancy rate.
For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2020, we did not have any medical related consulting services revenue since there was no demand for our consulting service
from our related parties and there was no order for our medical related consulting services from third party in these periods.
Although we maintain close working relationships with our related parties, the consulting agreements with our related parties expired
as of December 31, 2019. There was no order from related party and third party customers in the nine months ended September 30,
2020. Currently, we are negotiating with our potential customers and expect to enter consulting services agreements in the first
quarter of 2021. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had medical related consulting services revenue from
related parties of $108,520 and $234,214, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2020, we did not have any revenue from contract services through performing development services for hospitals and other customers
and sales of developed products to hospitals and other customers. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 $10,555 and $37,237, respectively. Feedback received from our research partners is
that our exosome isolation system does not produce consistent results and does not deliver high exosome yields and concentrations
and needs revision. We have discontinued sales of our exosome isolation system product. However, we are actively developing other
unrelated proprietary exosome related products for sale or licensure.
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 September 30,
2020, our real property operating expenses amounted to $135,821, as compared to $193,738 for the three months ended September 30,
2019, a decrease of $57,917, or 29.9%. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in maintenance fees of approximately $10,000,
and a decrease in other miscellaneous items of approximately $48,000.
For the nine months ended September 30,
2020, our real property operating expenses amounted to $663,086, as compared to $617,173 for the nine months ended September 30,
2019, an increase of $45,913, or 7.4%. The increase was mainly due to an increase in real property repairs and maintenance expenses
of approximately $9,000, an increase in electric utility of approximately $14,000, and an increase in other miscellaneous items
of approximately $23,000.
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 and nine months ended September
30, 2019, costs of medical related consulting services amounted to $94,442 and $202,908, respectively. There were no comparative
revenue and related costs of revenue from our medical related consulting services for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2020 since there was no demand for our consulting service from our related parties in these periods and there was no order
for our medical related consulting services from third party.
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 and nine months ended September
30 2019, costs of development services for hospitals and other customers and sales of developed products to hospitals and other
customers amounted to $41,808 and $103,899, respectively. We had neither revenue nor cost of revenue from this segment in the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
29
Real Property Operating Income
Our real property operating income for
the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $189,161, representing an increase of $118,758, or 168.7%, as compared to $70,403
for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in rental revenue resulting
from the increase of tenants and the decrease in real property operating expenses as described above. Our real property operating
income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $260,119, representing an increase of $81,636, or 45.7%, as compared to
$178,483 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in rental revenue resulting
from the increase of tenants as described above, offset by the increase in real property operating expenses. We expect our real
property operating income will remain in its current quarterly level with minimal decrease in the near future. We are unsure of
the short and long term financial impact of COVID -19 on our ability to collect rental income or on our overall building occupancy
rate.

development services and sales of developed products in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our gross loss from development
services and sales of developed products for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $66,662, with a gross margin of (179.0)%.

● Professional fees primarily consisted of accounting
fees, audit fees, legal service fees, consulting fees, investor relations service charges and other fees incurred for service
related to being a public company. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, professional fees increased by $122,355, or
7.5%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting
fees of approximately $690,000 mainly due to the increase in use of consulting service providers, offset by a decrease in legal
services fees of approximately $486,000 primarily due to the decrease in use of legal service providers, and a decrease in other
miscellaneous items of approximately $82,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, professional fees increased by $976,991,
or 25.1%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting
fees of approximately $840,000 mainly due to the increase in stock-based consulting fees, an increase in accounting service charges
of approximately $89,000 as a result of the increase in stock-based accounting fees and an increase in other miscellaneous items
of approximately $48,000. We expect that our professional fees will remain in its current quarterly level with minimal increase
in the near future.
30
● For the three months ended September 30, 2020, compensation
and related benefits decreased by $1,129,389, or 51.6%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The significant
decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in stock-based compensation of approximately $1,198,000 which reflected the
value of options granted and vested to our management. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compensation and related
benefits decreased by $3,147,202, or 49.3%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The significant decrease
was primarily attributable to a decrease in stock-based compensation of approximately $3,181,000 which reflected the value of
options granted and vested to our management. We expect that our compensation and related benefits will remain at its current
quarterly level in the rest of 2020.
● For the three months ended September 30, 2020, research
and development expenses decreased by $26,707, or 10.1%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2020, research and development expenses decreased by $692,375, or 50.6%, as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 2019. Our first project with Arbele was completed in January 2020 and no further research and development
project was incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our research and development contract with Weill Cornell Medicine
expired as of November 2019 and expect to enter another agreement by the end of fourth quarter of 2020. Therefore, our research
and development expenses in 2020 periods decreased as compared to the corresponding periods of 2019. We expect our research and
development expenses will increase in the near future.
● For the three months ended September 30, 2020, advertising
expenses decreased by $38,628 or 27.4% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September
30, 2020, advertising expenses decreased by $390,605 or 64.4% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease
was primarily due to decreased advertising activities incurred as a result of stricter control on corporation spending. We expect
that our advertising expenses will continue to decrease in the near future.
● For the three months ended September 30, 2020, amortization
expense from intangible assets decreased by $81,892, or 100.0%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2020, amortization expense from intangible assets decreased by $245,678, or 100.0%, as compared
to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. At the end of September 2019, our intangible assets were impaired to zero and therefore,
no amortization expense was recorded related to intangible assets in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
● For the three months ended September 30, 2020, travel
and entertainment expense decreased by $59,352, or 64.5%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2020, travel and entertainment expense decreased by $251,553, or 64.6%, as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was mainly due to decreased business travel activities and decreased entertainment expenditure
resulting from COVID-19. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the spread of COVID-19 has caused public health officials
to recommend precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus, such as, cease traveling to non-essential jobs and curtail all unnecessary
travel, and stay at home as much as possible.
● For the three months ended September 30, 2020, directors
and officers liability insurance premium increased by $23,805, or 43.2%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, directors and officers liability insurance premium increased by $72,167, or 58.8%,
as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was mainly due to different insurance provider with different
premium.
● Other general and administrative expenses mainly consisted
of NASDAQ listing fee, academic sponsorship, and other miscellaneous items. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, other
general and administrative expenses increased by $49,963, or 76.3%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019,
which was mainly due to an increase in fee from NASDAQ of approximately $29,000, and an increase in other miscellaneous items
of approximately $21,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, other general and administrative expenses decreased by
$64,577, or 15.9%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which was mainly due to a decrease in academic sponsorship
expenditure of approximately $95,000, offset by an increase in other miscellaneous items of approximately $30,000.
● In September 2019, we assessed our intangible assets
for any impairment and concluded that there were indicators of impairment as of September 30, 2019 and we calculated that the
estimated undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying amount of those intangible assets. We have not been able to realize
the financial projections provided by Dr. Zhou at the time of the intangible assets purchase and have decided to impair the intangible
assets to zero. Based on our analysis, we recognized an impairment loss of $1,010,011 for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2019, which reduced the value of intangible assets purchased to zero. We did not record any impairment charge for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
31
Loss from
Operations
As
a result of the foregoing, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, loss from operations amounted to $3,190,558, as compared
to $5,476,347 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $2,285,789, or 41.7%.
As
a result of the foregoing, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, loss from operations amounted to $9,415,577, as compared
to $14,285,412 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $4,869,835, or 34.1%.
Other Income
(Expense)
Other income (expense) mainly includes
interest expense, change in fair value of warrants liabilities, allocated financing
costs, and loss from equity-method investment .
Other expense, net, totaled $61,401 for
the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to other income, net, of $1,142,289 for the three months ended September
30, 2019, a decrease of $1,203,690, or 105.4%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in change in fair value of warrants
liabilities of approximately $1,160,000, an increase in interest expense of approximately $30,000, a decrease in other income approximately
$24,000, offset by a decrease in loss from equity method investment of approximately $10,000.
Other expense, net, totaled $163,545 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to other income, net, of $1,007,602 for the nine months ended September 30,
2019, a decrease of $1,171,147, or 116.2%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in change in fair value of warrants liabilities
of approximately $1,622,000, an increase in interest expense of approximately $66,000, a decrease in other income approximately
$22,000, offset by a decrease in allocated financing expense of approximately $525,000 and a decrease in loss from equity method
investment of approximately $13,000.
Income Taxes
We did not have any income taxes expense
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 since we incurred losses in the periods.
Net Loss
As a result of the factors described above,
our net loss was $3,251,959 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $4,334,058 for the three months ended
September 30, 2019, a decrease of $1,082,099 or 25.0%.
As a result of the factors described above,
our net loss was $9,579,122 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $13,277,810 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2019, a decrease of $3,698,688 or 27.9%.
Net Loss Attributable to Avalon GloboCare
Corp. Common Shareholders
The net loss attributable to Avalon GloboCare
Corp. common shareholders was $3,251,959 or $(0.04) per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended September 30, 2020,
as compared with $3,858,195, or $(0.05) per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a change of
$606,236 or 15.7%.
The net loss attributable to Avalon GloboCare
Corp. common shareholders was $9,579,122 or $(0.12) per share (basic and diluted) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020,
as compared with $12,621,235, or $(0.17) per share (basic and diluted) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a change of
$3,042,113 or 24.1%.
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar.
The functional currency of our parent company, AHS, Avalon RT 9, Genexosome, Avactis, and Exosome, 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 revenues, 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 $39,698 and
a foreign currency translation loss of $69,388 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As a result
of foreign currency translations, which are a non-cash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of $20,941 and
a foreign currency translation loss of $60,009 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This non-cash
gain/loss had the effect of decreasing/increasing our reported comprehensive loss.
32
Comprehensive Loss
As a result of our foreign currency translation
adjustment, we had comprehensive loss of $3,212,261 and $4,403,446 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
As a result of our foreign currency translation
adjustment, we had comprehensive loss of $9,558,181 and $13,337,819 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has a limited operating history
and its continued growth is dependent upon the re-commencing of medical consulting services which was completed in December 2019
to its only few clients who are related parties and generating rental revenue from its income-producing real estate property in
New Jersey and performing development services for hospitals and other customers and sales of developed products to hospitals and
other customers; hence generating revenues, and obtaining additional financing to fund future obligations and pay liabilities arising
from normal business operations. In addition, the current cash balance cannot be projected to cover the operating expenses for
the next twelve months from the release date of this report. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability
to raise additional capital, implement its business plan, and generate significant revenues. There are no assurances that the Company
will be successful in its efforts to generate significant revenues, maintain sufficient cash balance or report profitable operations
or to continue as a going concern. The Company plans on raising capital through the sale of equity to implement its business plan.
However, there is no assurance these plans will be realized and that any additional financings will be available to the Company
on satisfactory terms and conditions, if any.
The occurrence of an uncontrollable event
such as the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to negatively affect the Company’s operations. Efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus have
intensified, including social distancing, travel bans and quarantine, and these are likely to negatively impact our tenants, employees
and consultants. These, in turn, will not only impact our operations, financial condition and demand for our medical related consulting
services but our overall ability to react timely to mitigate the impact of this event. Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances,
the duration of business disruption and reduced traffic, the related financial effect cannot be reasonably estimated at this time
but is expected to adversely impact our business for the year of 2020.
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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had cash balance of approximately $1,396,000 and $765,000, respectively. These
funds are kept in financial institutions located as follows:

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.
33
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.

Our working capital deficit decreased by
$978,373 to $285,995 at September 30, 2020 from $1,264,368 at December 31, 2019. The decrease in working capital deficit was primarily
attributable to an increase in cash of approximately $631,000, an increase in rent receivable of approximately $74,000, an increase
in prepaid expenses and other current assets of approximately $181,000, a decrease in accrued professional fees of approximately
$280,000, a decrease in accrued research and development fees of approximately $208,000, a decrease in accrued payroll liability
of approximately $127,000, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable – related party of approximately $215,000, a decrease
in deferred financing costs of approximately $83,000, an increase in accrued liabilities and other payables of approximately
$66,000, an increase in accrued liabilities and other payables – related parties of approximately $75,000, and an increase
in operating lease obligation of approximately $76,000.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $6,185,198, which primarily reflected our consolidated net loss of approximately
$9,579,000, and the changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily consisting of an increase in rent receivable of approximately
$94,000, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of approximately $353,000, a decrease in accrued liabilities
and other payables of approximately $681,000, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable – related party of approximately
$214,000, an increase in accrued liabilities and other payables – related parties of approximately $75,000, and the non-cash
items adjustment primarily consisting of depreciation and amortization of approximately $233,000, and stock-based compensation
and service expense of approximately $3,965,000.
Net cash flow used in operating activities
for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $5,318,165, which primarily reflected our consolidated net loss of approximately
$13,278,000, the non-cash item adjustment consisting of change in warrants derivative liabilities of approximately $1,622,000,
and the changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily consisting of an increase in accounts receivable – related
parties of approximately $175,000, offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of approximately $241,000,
a decrease in security deposit of approximately $101,000, and an increase in accrued liabilities and other payables of approximately
$327,000, and the add-back of non-cash items mainly consisting of depreciation and amortization of approximately $430,000, stock-based
compensation and service expense of approximately $7,003,000, allocated financing costs of approximately $525,000, and impairment
loss of approximately $1,010,000.
34
We expect our cash used in operating activities
to increase due to the following:
● the development and commercialization of new products;
● an increase in professional staff and services; 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 $28,594 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $538,368 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we made additional investment in equity method investment of approximately $29,000.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we made payment for purchase of property and equipment of approximately $379,000,
made payment for improvement of commercial real estate of approximately $16,000, made prepayment for purchase of long-term assets
of approximately $26,000, and made payment for equity method investment of approximately $117,000.
Net cash flow provided by financing activities
was $6,841,783 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $4,693,704 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we received proceeds from related party borrowings of $300,000 and net proceeds
from equity offering of approximately $6,742,000 (net of cash paid for commission and offering costs of approximately $492,000),
offset by repayments made for note payable – related party of $200,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019,
we received proceeds from note payable – related party of $1,000,000, and net proceeds for equity offering of approximately
$5,104,000, offset by repayments made for note payable – related party of $410,000, and repayments for loan payable of $1,000,000.
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, 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, including ongoing research and development programs, clinical studies, as well as commercial strategies;
● 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 the third quarter of 2019, we had secured
a $20 million credit facility (Line of Credit) provided by our Chairman, Wenzhao Lu. The unsecured credit facility bears
interest at a rate of 5% and provides for maturity on drawn loans 36 months after funding. The note is not convertible to equity.
As of September 30, 2020, the total principal amount outstanding under the Credit Line was $2.9 million and we have approximately
$17.1 million remaining available under the Line Credit.
On December 13, 2019, we entered into
an Open Market Sale Agreement SM (the “Sales Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC, as sales agent (“Jefferies”),
pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, through Jefferies, shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per
share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $20.0 million. On April 6, 2020, the date on which we filed our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, our registration statement became subject to the offering
limits set forth in General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. As of April 6, 2020, the aggregate market value of our outstanding
common stock held by non-affiliates, or public float, was $39,564,237, based on 23,691,160 shares of our outstanding
common stock that were held by non-affiliates on such date and a price of $1.67 per share, which was the price at which
our common stock was last sold on The Nasdaq Capital Market on February 19, 2020 (a date within 60 days of the date hereof), calculated
in accordance with General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. We have not offered any securities pursuant to General
Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 in the 12 calendar months preceding the date of this prospectus supplement. We filed a
prospectus supplement to amend and supplement the information in our prospectus and original prospectus supplement based on the
amount of securities that we are eligible to sell under General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. After giving effect
to the $13,000,000 offering limit imposed by General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, we may offer and sell additional
shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $13,000,000 from time to time through Jefferies acting as
our sales agent in accordance with the terms of the sales agreement. As of September 30, 2020, we sold a total of 3,606,910
shares of our common stock through Jefferies with an aggregate offering price of $6,507,414 and we have approximately $8.5 million
offering price remaining available under the Sales Agreement.
35
We estimate that based on current plans
and assumptions, that our available cash will be insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our present operating expectations
through cash available under our Credit Line and sales of equity through our Sales Agreement. Other than funds received from the
sale of our equity and advances from our related party, and cash resource generating from our operations, we presently have no
other significant alternative source of working capital. We have used these funds to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations
and grow our company. We will need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operations and to provide working capital
for our ongoing operations and obligations. Therefore, our future operation is dependent on our ability to secure additional financing.
Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms.
However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult
to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible
that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative
financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the
new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability
to obtain additional capital may restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations.
If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will be required to cease our operations. To date, we have not considered this
alternative, nor do we view it as a likely occurrence.

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 September 30, 2020 and 2019, we had an unrealized foreign currency translation gain of approximately
$40,000 and an unrealized foreign currency translation loss of approximately $69,000, respectively, because of changes in the exchange
rate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we had an unrealized foreign currency translation gain of approximately
$21,000 and an unrealized foreign currency translation loss of approximately $60,000, respectively, because of changes in the exchange
rate.
Inflation
The effect of inflation on our revenue
and operating results was not significant.
