NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

 

BOQI International Medical, Inc. (the “Company” or “BIMI”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware as Galli Process, Inc. on October 31, 2000. On February 7, 2002, the Company changed its name to Global Broadcast Group, Inc. On November 12, 2004, the Company changed its name to Diagnostic Corporation of America. On March 15, 2007, the Company changed its name to NF Energy Saving Corporation of America, and on August 24, 2009, the Company changed its name to NF Energy Saving Corporation. On December 16, 2019, the Company changed its name to BOQI International Medical Inc., to reflect the Company’s refocus of its business from the energy saving industry to the health care industry. Since March 7, 2012, the common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) has been traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Until October 14, 2019, the Company, through NF Energy Saving Investment Limited and its subsidiaries (the “NF Group”), operated in the energy saving enhancement technology industry in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The NF Group focused on providing services relating to energy saving technology, optimization design, energy saving reconstruction of pipeline networks and contractual energy management for the electric power, petrochemical, coal, metallurgy, construction, and municipal infrastructure development industries in the PRC and the manufacture and sales of energy-saving flow control equipment. In late 2019, the Company committed to a plan to dispose of all its equity interests in the NF Group and on March 31, 2020, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “NF SPA”) to sell the NF Group. The sale of the NF Group closed on June 23, 2020. Please refer to NOTE 7 for more information relating to the sale of the NF Group.

 

On October 14, 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in Lasting Wisdom Holdings Limited (“Lasting”), a limited company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”).

Pukung owns 100% of the equity interest in Beijing Xinrongxin Industrial Development Co., Ltd. (“Xinrongxin”), a company organized under the laws of the PRC. Xinrongxin owns all the ownership interest of Dalian Boqi Zhengji Pharmacy Chain Co., Ltd. (“Boqi Zhengji”). Boqi Zhengji operated 16 retail pharmacy stores in China at the time of the acquisition. Lasting, Pukung, Xinrongxin and Boqi Zhengji are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Boqi Zhengji Group”. Xinrongxin also owns 100% equity interests in Dalian Boyi Technology Co., Ltd. (“Dalian Boyi”), a subsidiary established in January 2020 and responsible for the Company’s R&D and other technology related functions. On June 24, 2020, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary Boyi (Liaoning) Technology Co.,Ltd (“Liaoning Boyi”), in order to be qualified to participate in local healthcare projects. On December 22, 2020, the Company established another subsidiary Bimai Pharmaceutical (Chongqing) Co., Ltd., replace Xinronxin as the holding company owing all the retail, wholesale and hospital operations in China.

The sale of the Boqi Zhengji was closed by the end of 2020, although the government record was not updated until February 2, 2021 due to the Chinese government’s alternative working schedule and other delays caused by COVID-19.

2. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

 

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred significant net losses of $3,290,627 and $2,202,191 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $16.2 million and negative working capital of $0.18 million. In addition, the Company continues to generate operating losses and has limited cash flow from its continuing operations. Primarily as a result of its operating loss in the quarter, the Company’s cash position declined by $1.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Management believes these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.

 

The continuation of the Company as a going concern through the next twelve months is dependent upon (1) the continued financial support from its stockholders or external financing, and (2) further implementation of management’s business plan to generate sufficient revenues and cash flow to meet its obligations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to increase sales volume and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurance to that it will be successful in either respect.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation and consolidation

 

These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information as of March 31, 2021 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 previously filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021.

 

6

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position as of March 31, 210 and its unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and its unaudited condensed consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the fiscal year or any future periods.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with the US GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions of future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty and, accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include, among others, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, collectability of accounts receivable, advances to suppliers allowance for doubtful accounts, reserve of inventory, fair value of goodwill and valuation of derivative liabilities. While the Company believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior year balances were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, which mainly reflect the presentation of the discontinued operation of the NF Group. Except for the assets and liabilities of the NF Group which were reclassified as discontinued assets or liabilities and presented as current assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, there was no other impacts on reported financial position or cash flows for any of the periods presented.

 

Cash

 

Cash consists primarily of cash on hand and cash in banks which is readily available in checking and saving accounts. The Company maintains cash with various financial institutions in the PRC where its accounts are uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses from funds held in bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risk on its bank accounts.

 

Restricted cash

 

Cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements or orders are recorded in a restricted cash account in the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from delivery. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition, the customer credit-worthiness and their payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. At the end of each period, the Company specifically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the collection of accounts receivables. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,187,543 and $1,236,830, respectively.

 

Advances to suppliers

 

Advances to suppliers consist of prepayments to the Company’s vendors, such as pharmaceutical manufacturers and medicine suppliers. The Company typically prepays for the purchase of our merchandise, especially for those salable, scarce, personalized medicine or medical devices. The Company typically receive products from vendors within three to nine months after making prepayments. The Company continuously monitor delivery from, and payments to, the vendors while maintaining a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific supplier issues, such as discontinuing of inventory supply, that have been identified. If the Company has difficulty receiving products from a vendor, the Company would cease purchasing products from such vendor, request return of our prepayment promptly, and if necessary, take legal action. The Company has not taken such type of legal action during the reporting periods. If none of these steps are successful, management will then determine whether the prepayments should be reserved or written off. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $7,427 and $7,463, respectively.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method, and market value is the middle (the second highest) value among an inventory item’s replacement cost, market celling and market floor. The Company carries out physical inventory counts on a monthly basis at each store and warehouse location. The Company reviews historical sales activity quarterly to determine excess, slow moving items and potentially obsolete items. The Company provides inventory reserve based on the excess quantities on hand equal to the difference, if any, between the cost of the inventory and its estimated market value, or obsolescence of inventories determined principally by customer demand. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recorded an allowance for obsolete inventories, which mainly consists of expired medicine, of $31,660 and $9,825, respectively.

Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:

 

 

Expected

useful lives

 

Residual

value

 
Building 20 years   5%
Office equipment 3 years   5%
Electronic equipment 3 years   5%
Furniture 5 years   5%
Medical equipment 10 years   5%
Vehicles 4 years   5%

 

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

 

Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets consist primarily of software of management systems. Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight line method with the following estimated useful lives:

 

    Expected
useful lives
Software   10 years

 

Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of obligations under operating leases, and obligations under operating leases, non-current on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, current portion of obligations under capital leases, and obligations under capital leases, non-current on our consolidated balance sheets.

 

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date, adjusted by the deferred rent liabilities at the adoption date. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU assets also include any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company’s terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of an acquired business. In accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, recorded goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if there are indicators of impairment present.

 

Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on at least an annual basis or when an event occurs or circumstances change that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. These events or circumstances include a significant change in stock prices, business environment, legal factors, financial performances, competition, or events affecting the reporting unit. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The estimation of fair value of reporting unit using a discounted cash flow methodology also requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for the Company’s business, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. The estimates used to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit change from year to year based on operating results and market conditions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and goodwill impairment for the reporting unit.

 

Management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by performing a qualitative assessment before using a two-step impairment test approach at the reporting unit level. If the Company reorganizes its reporting structure in a manner that changes the composition of one or more of its reporting units, goodwill will be reassigned based on the relative fair value of each of the affected reporting units.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets and intangibles

 

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.

 

Revenue recognition

 

We adopted Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenues from Contract with Customers (“ASC 606”) for all periods presented. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods and services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services, net of value-added tax. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

Identify the contract with a customer;
   
Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
   
Determine the transaction price;
   
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
   
Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
   
10

 

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 by the control of the promised goods and services is transferred to the customers, which at a point in time or over time as appropriate.

 

The Company’s revenue is net of value added tax (“VAT”) collected on behalf of PRC tax authorities in respect to the sales of products. VAT collected from customers, net of VAT paid for purchases, is recorded as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets until it is paid to the relevant PRC tax authorities

 

Cost of revenue

 

Cost of revenue consists primarily of cost of goods purchased from suppliers plus direct material costs for packaging and storage, direct labor, which are directly attributable to the acquisition and maintaining of products for sales. Cost of revenues also include impairment loss of our products which are obsolete or expired for sale, if any. Shipping and handling costs, associated with the distribution of finished products to customers, are borne by the customers.

 

Comprehensive income

 

ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

 

Income taxes

 

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not incur any interest or penalties associated with tax positions. As of March 31, 2021, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company conducts all of its business in the PRC and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its corporate structure the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by a foreign tax authority.

Value added tax

 

Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold, net of VAT. All of the Company’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a VAT on the gross sales price. The VAT rates range up to 13%, depending on the type of products sold. The VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on its purchase activities of merchandises, raw materials, utilities, and other materials which cost was included in the cost of producing or acquiring its products for sales. The Company records a VAT payable net of payments if the VAT payable on the gross sales is larger than VAT paid by the Company on purchase of finished goods; on the other hand, the Company records a VAT deductible in the accompanying financial statements net of any VAT payable at the end of reporting period.

 

Convertible promissory notes

 

The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Derivative instruments

 

The Company has entered into financing arrangements that consist of freestanding derivative instruments or are hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative features. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”) as well as related interpretation of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, giving consideration to all of the rights and obligations of each instrument.

 

We estimate fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered to be consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, we consider, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as free-standing warrants, we generally use the Black-Scholes model, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms, dilution and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes. Under the terms of the new accounting standard, increases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and increases in fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative expense. Conversely, decreases in the trading price of the company’s common stock and decreases in trading fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative income.

Net loss per share

 

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

 

Foreign currencies translation

 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar (“US$”). The Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC maintain their books and records in their local currency, the Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”), which is the functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate.

 

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

 

Translation of amounts from RMB into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective period:

 

   March 31,
2021
   March 31,
2020
 
Period-end RMB:US$1 exchange rate   6.5566    7.0851 
Three months end average RMB:US$1 exchange rate   6.4829    6.9790 

 

Related parties

 

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

Segment reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about the type of products and services, geographical areas, business strategies and major customers in business components. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company operated in four reportable segments: retail pharmacy, wholesale pharmaceuticals, wholesale medical devices and medical services in the PRC.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding short-term bank borrowing and convertible promissory notes): cash and cash equivalents, accounts and retention receivable, prepayments and other receivables, accounts payable, income tax payable, amounts due to related parties other payables and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of its obligation under its finance lease and short-term bank borrowing approximate the carrying amount.

 

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 : Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;
   
Level 2: Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs; and
   
Level 3: Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.

 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

 

The carrying amount of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other receivable, bank credit, accounts payable and other accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity ( “ASU 2020-06”), which focuses on amending the legacy guidance on convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 simplifies an issuer’s accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features. ASU 2020-06 also simplifies the settlement assessment that entities are required to perform to determine whether a contract qualifies for equity classification. Further, ASU 2020-06 enhances information transparency by making targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share (EPS) guidance, i.e., aligning the diluted EPS calculation for convertible instruments by requiring that an entity use the if-converted method and that the effect of potential share settlement be included in the diluted EPS calculation when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares, adding information about events or conditions that occur during the reporting period that cause conversion contingencies to be met or conversion terms to be significantly changed. This update will be effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities can elect to adopt the new guidance through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosure.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

4. THE ACQUISITION OF THE GUANZAN GROUP

 

On February 1, 2020, the Company, Xinrongxin, Ms. Li Zhou (“Ms. Zhou”) and Guanzan entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Guanzan SPA”).

17. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES AND EMBEDDED DERIVATIVE INSTRUCTIONS

 

On May 19, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “May SPA”) with two institutional investors (each, an “Institutional Investor”, collectively, the “Institutional Investors”) to sell in a private placement a new series of senior secured convertible notes having an original issue amount of $6,550,000, with a discount of 19.85%, and ranking senior to all outstanding and future indebtedness of the Company (the “Convertible Notes”). Each Institutional Investor paid $1,750,000 in cash for a note in the face amount of $2,225,000. Additional Convertible Note in an aggregate original principal amount not to exceed $2,100,000 may also be issued to the Institutional Investors under the May SPA at a later date under certain circumstances. The Convertible Notes mature on the eighteen-month anniversary of the issuance date, are payable by the Company in installments and are convertible at the election of the Institutional Investors at the convertible price of $2.59, which is subject to adjustment in the event of default. Each Institutional Investor also received a warrant to purchase 650,000 shares of the Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $2.845. The placement agent for the private placement received a warrant to purchase up to 171,845 shares of the Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $2.845 per share, subject to increase based on the number of shares of the Common Stock issued pursuant to the Convertible Notes. On February 24,2021, the Company and the Investors agreed to increase the amount of Convertible Notes that may be purchased under the Securities Purchase Agreement announced in May 2020 from $2,100,000 to $5,400,000 at an original issue discount of 16.67% ($4,500,000 net). The Convertible Notes are convertible at a base conversion price of $2.59 per share, subject to the previously agreed conversion floor price of $ $0.554 (or $0.372 with respect to the increased amount).  The Investors will also be entitled to receive warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 720,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock at the exercise price of $2.845 per share.

 

Upon evaluation, the Company determined that the Agreements contained embedded beneficial conversion features which met the definition of Debt with Conversion and Other Options covered under the Accounting Standards Codification topic 470 (“ASC 470”). According to ASC 470, an embedded beneficial conversion feature present in a convertible instrument shall be recognized separately at issuance by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital.

 

   March 31,
2021
   December 31,
2020
 
Convertible note – principal  $6,015,426   $5,367,174 
Convertible note – discount   (882,896)   (2,038,727)
   $5,132,530   $3,328,447 

 

Additionally, the Company accounted for the embedded conversion option liability in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”) as well as related interpretation of this standard. In accordance with these standards, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, giving consideration to all of the rights and obligations of each instrument. The fair value of the embedded conversion option liability associated with each Note was valued using the Black-Scholes model. The key assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model are as follows:

 

   March 31,
2021
      December 31,
2020
 
Dividend yield  $0%  $0%
Expected volatility   90% ~ 100%   101% ~ 166%

23. SEGMENTS

 

General Information of Reportable Segments:

 

The Company operates in four reportable segments: retail pharmacy, wholesale medical devices, wholesale pharmaceuticals and medical services. The retail pharmacy segment sells prescription and OTC medicines, traditional Chinese medicines (“TCM”), healthcare supplies, and sundry items to retail customers through its directly-owned pharmacies and authorized retail stores. The wholesale pharmaceuticals segment includes supplying prescription and OTC medicines, TCM, healthcare supplies and sundry items to clinics, third party pharmacies, hospitals and other drug vendors. The medical services segment includes the hospitals acquired in February 2021.

 

To date, there were no inter-segment revenues between our retail pharmacy and wholesale pharmaceuticals segments. The wholesale medical devices segment distributes medical devices, including medical consumables to private clinics, hospitals, third party pharmacies and other medical devices dealers. Disclosure should relate to all segments

 

The segments’ accounting policies are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, who is the CEO of the Company, evaluates performance of each of the segments based on profit or loss from continuing operations net of income tax.

 

The Company’s reportable business segments are strategic business units that offer different products. Each segment is managed independently because they require different operations and markets to distinct classes of customers.

 

Information about Reported Segment Profit or Loss and Segment Assets

 

BIMI, as the holding company, incurred a significant amount of general operating expenses, such as financing costs, that the Company’s chief operating decision maker did not allocate to segments to evaluate the segments performance and allocate recourses of the Company. In addition, except for depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, the Company does not allocate the change in fair value of derivative liabilities and the amortization of discount of convertible notes to reporting segments in its reported profit or loss. The following amounts were used by the chief operating decision maker.

Concentrations of Risk

 

The Company is exposed to the following concentrations of risk:

 

(a) Credit risk

 

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require prepayments or deposits from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

 

(b) Interest rate risk

 

The Company’s interest-rate risk arises from convertible promissory notes, short-term and long-term loans. The Company manages interest rate risk by varying the issuance and maturity dates, fixing interest rate of debt, limiting the amount of debts, and continually monitoring the effects of market changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, the Notes, short-term and long-term loans were at fixed rates.

 

(c) Exchange rate risk

 

Substantially all of the Company’s revenues and a majority of its costs are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of its assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. As a result, the Company’s results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and RMB. If the RMB depreciates against the US$, the value of RMB revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial market risk.

 

29

 

(d) Economic and political risks

 

The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operation may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy. The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic has expanded all over the world since the beginning of 2020, which has greatly slowed the growth of the global economy, including the PRC, and this effect may continue until the pandemic is controlled, or a vaccine or cure is developed. The slowdown of the growth of the PRC’s economy has adversely effected our current business and future success will be adversely affected if we are unable to capitalize on the opportunities arising from the increasing demand for medicine and medical devices in the markets in which we operate.

 

The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.

 

(e) Enforcement risks

 

The PRC People’s Supreme Court adopted rules in 2010 which restrict parties who are subject to effective court enforcement orders for monetary judgements from extravagant spending until the monetary judgments have been satisfied. According to those rules, if a company becomes subject to a court enforcement order due to failure to satisfy a monetary judgement, the company’s name will appear on a defaulters’ list published by the Chinese courts and the company together with its legal representative and responsible person will be prohibited from using the company property for extravagant spending such as buying real property, vacationing and paying for children’s private school education, until, among other conditions, the monetary judgment has been satisfied. Boqi Zhengji and Nengfa Energy are currently on the defaulters’ list due to their failure to pay off several monetary judgments.

 

25. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On April 9, 2021, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Hospital SPA”) to acquire three private hospitals in the People’s Republic of China, Wuzhou Qiangsheng Hospital, Suzhou Eurasia Hospital and Yunan Yuxi Minkang Hospital (collectively, the “Hospitals”). Pursuant to the Hospital SPA, the Company agreed to purchase all the issued and outstanding equity interests in the Hospitals in consideration of RMB 162,000,000 (approximately $24,923,077). The closing consideration was RMB 20,000,000 (approximately $3,076,923) in cash and 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, the value of which was agreed by the parties to be RMB 78,000,000 or $12,000,000. The balance of the purchase price in the amount of RMB 64,000,000 (approximately $9,846,153) is subject to post-closing adjustments based on the performance of the Hospitals in 2021 and 2022. The transaction closed effective May 6, 2021 when 100% of equity interests in the Hospitals were transferred to the Company and the closing consideration was paid.

OVERVIEW

 

From 2007 until October 2019, we, through the NF Group, were engaged in the energy efficiency enhancement business. With the decline in the constructions of power generation plants and municipal water, gas, heat and energy pipelines in China due to a policy change by the PRC government, the demand for our products and services declined markedly. As a result, our energy efficiency enhancement business, incurred operating losses in each of the last seven years, especially in 2018, when the PRC government adopted a series of policies to favor more environmentally friendly projects and products. Our net loss from the operation of the energy efficiency enhancement business was $16.79 million in 2018 and $2.18 million in 2019. We explored many different alternatives in an effort to revive this business, including attempts to expand into international markets, before we determined this business was not sustainable for us. In late 2019, we committed to a plan to dispose of the NF Group and on March 31, 2020, we entered into an agreement for the sale of the NF Group. The sale closed on June 23, 2020 when the $10 million sales price was paid to us in full.

 

Our current operations are focused on the healthcare industry in the PRC. On October 14, 2019, we acquired Boqi Zhengji, an operator of a pharmacy chain business in the PRC. This was the first step of our shift of focus from the energy sector to the healthcare business. Boqi Zhengji, however, suffered significant setbacks during 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic caused the pharmacy stores to record almost no sales for several months due to the national shutdown order and other government orders specifically targeting OTC drugs. To avoid exposing our other business to further risks and potential joint liabilities, we decided to divest the pharmacy chain. On December 11, 2020 we entered into an agreement to sell Boqi Zhengji for $1,700,000 in cash. On December 18, 2020, we received the full consideration from the buyer and the control of the Boqi Zhengji business was transferred. Due to the Chinese government’s alternative working schedule and other delays caused by COVID-19, the government record reflecting the transfer of ownership was not updated until February 2, 2021.

 

The disposal of NF Group and Boqi Zhengji and the actions taken to fulfill the plans resulted in our classifying the businesses of NF Group and Boqi Zhengji as discontinued operations according to ASC 205-20 Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operation. As a result, all of the assets and liabilities of the NF Group were reclassified as assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation in the statement of position as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the results of the operation are presented under the line item net loss from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. All of the assets and liabilities of Boqi Zhengji were reclassified as assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation in the statement of position as of December 31, 2020 and the results of the operation are presented under the line item net loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2020., .

 

On March 18, 2020, we completed the Guanzan acquisition. The rationale for the acquisition was for us to further expand our healthcare operation by acquiring a medical devices and pharmaceuticals distribution business. We believed that Guanzan has strong sales capabilities and procurement resources in the local area of Chongqing, the largest city in Southwest region of the PRC. The acquisition was is in line with our expansion strategy, which focuses on deeper penetration of the healthcare market in the Southwest region of China and gaining a wider footprint in the PRC.

 

On February 2, 2021, we acquired Guoyitang, the owner and operator of a private general hospital in Chongqing with 50 hospital beds and 98 employees, including 14 doctors, 28 nurses, 43 other medical staff and 13 non-medical staff. The Guoyitang acquisition will enable us to serve more individuals with medical needs and is the first step in our efforts to building a hospital chain specializing in obstetrics and gynecology.

 

On February 8, 2021, we acquired Zhongshan, a private hospital in the southeast region of China with 160 hospital beds (of which 110 beds are currently in use) and 95 employees, including 20 doctors, 48 nurses, 10 other medical staff and 17 non-medical staff. Zhongshan is a general hospital known for its complex minimally invasive surgeries and equipped with high-end diagnostics equipment and surgical instruments for gynecology and obstetrics use. The Zhongshan acquisition marks the second step in our effort to establish a nationwide hospital chain specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. 

 

On April 9, 2021, we acquired three private hospitals operating in China, Wuzhou Qiangsheng Hospital (“Qiangsheng”) in the southeast region of the PRC, Suzhou Eurasia Hospital (“Eurasia”) in the central region of the PRC and Yunan Yuxi Minkang Hospital (“Minkang”) in the southwest region of the PRC. Qiangsheng, Eurasia and Minkang are owned by the same owners. Qiangsheng has 20 hospital beds and 68 employees, including 10 doctors, 26 nurses, 14 other medical staff and 18 non-medical staff, and is a general hospital locally known for its OB/GYN and Chinese traditional medicine specialties. Eurasia has 30 hospital beds and 42 employees, including 11 doctors, 12 nurses, 4 other medical staff and 15 non-medical staff. Minkang has 120 hospital beds and 118 employees, including 28 doctors, 55 nurses, 12 other medical staff and 23 non-medical staff, and is a general hospital locally known for its OB/GYN and Chinese traditional medicine specialties.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

The Company currently operates in four reportable segments: retail pharmacy, wholesale pharmaceuticals, wholesale medical devices and medical services. The retail pharmacy segment sells prescription and OTC medicines, TCM, healthcare supplies and sundry items to retail customers through its directly-owned pharmacies and authorized retail stores. The wholesale pharmaceuticals segment includes supplying prescription and OTC medicines, TCM, healthcare supplies and sundry items to clinics, third party pharmacies, hospitals and other drug wholesalers. There were no inter-segment revenues between our retail pharmacy and wholesale pharmaceuticals segments. The wholesale medical device segment distributes medical devices, including medical consumables to private clinics, hospitals, third party pharmacies and other medical device dealers. Medical services includes private comprehensive hospitals operating in China.

 

The segments’ accounting policies are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is the CEO of the Company, evaluates performance of each segment based on profit or loss from continuing operations net of income tax.

 

The Company’s reportable business segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. Each segment is managed independently because they require different operations and markets to distinct classes of customers.

 

GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

 

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net losses of $3,290,627 and $2,202,191 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $16.2 million and negative working capital of $0.18 million. In addition, the Company continues to generate operating losses and has limited cash flow from its continuing operations. Primarily as a result of it operating loss in the quarter, the Company’s cash position declined by $1.7 million in the three months ended ended March 31, 2021. Management believes these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.

 

The continuation of the Company as a going concern through the next twelve months is dependent upon (1) the continued financial support from its stockholders or external financing, and (2) further implement management’s business plan to extend its operations and generate sufficient revenues and cash flow to meet its obligations. On May 18, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “May SPA”) with two institutional investors (each an “Institutional Investor” and collectively the “Institutional Investors”) to sell a new series of senior secured convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”) of the Company in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), in the aggregate principal amount of $6,550,000 having an aggregate original issue discount of 19.85%, and ranking senior to all outstanding and future indebtedness of the Company. On June 2, 2020, two Convertible Notes in an aggregate original principal amount of $4,450,000 were issued to the Institutional Investors. On February 24, 2021 additional Convertible Notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $5,400,000 were issued to the same Institutional Investors. See “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.” While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to increase sales volume and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in either respect.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue, receivable, inventory, and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from delivery. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition, the customer credit-worthiness and their payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. At the end of each period, the Company specifically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the collection of accounts receivables. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,187,543 and $1,236,830, respectively.

 

32

 

Advances to suppliers

 

Advances to suppliers consist of prepayments to the Company’s vendors, such as pharmaceutical manufacturers and medicine suppliers. The Company typically prepays for the purchase of our merchandise, especially for those salable, scarce, personalized medicine or medical devices. The Company typically receive products from vendors within three to nine months after making prepayments. The Company continuously monitor delivery from, and payments to, the vendors while maintaining a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific supplier issues, such as discontinuing of inventory supply, that have been identified. If the Company has difficulty receiving products from a vendor, the Company would cease purchasing products from such vendor, request return of our prepayment promptly, and if necessary, take legal action. The Company has not taken such type of legal action during the reporting periods. If none of these steps are successful, management will then determine whether the prepayments should be reserved or written off. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $7,427 and $7,463, respectively.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method, and market value is the middle (the second highest) value among an inventory item’s replacement cost, market celling and market floor. The Company carries out physical inventory counts on a monthly basis at each store and warehouse location. The Company reviews historical sales activity quarterly to determine excess, slow moving items and potentially obsolete items. The Company provides inventory reserve based on the excess quantities on hand equal to the difference, if any, between the cost of the inventory and its estimated market value, or obsolescence of inventories determined principally by customer demand. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recorded an allowance for obsolete inventories, which mainly consists of expired medicine, of $31,660 and $9,825, respectively.

 

Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:

 

  

Expected

useful lives

  Residual value 
Building  20 years   5%
Office equipment  3 years   5%
Electronic equipment  3 years   5%
Furniture  5 years   5%
Medical equipment  10 years   5%
Vehicles  4 years   5%

 

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

 

Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets consist primarily of management system software. Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight line method with the following estimated useful lives:

 

   

Expected

useful lives

Software   10 years

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of an acquired business. In accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, recorded goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if there are indicators of impairment present.

 

Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on at least an annual basis or when an event occurs or circumstances change that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. These events or circumstances include a significant change in stock prices, business environment, legal factors, financial performances, competition, or events affecting the reporting unit. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The estimation of fair value of a reporting unit using a discounted cash flow methodology also requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for the Company’s business, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. The estimates used to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit change from year to year based on operating results and market conditions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and goodwill impairment for the reporting unit.

 

33

 

The Company identified reporting units at the lowest level within the entity at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Management evaluated the recoverability of goodwill by performing a qualitative assessment before using a two-step impairment test approach at the reporting unit level. If the Company reorganizes its reporting structure in a manner that changes the composition of one or more of its reporting units, goodwill is reassigned based on the relative fair value of each of the affected reporting units.

 

Revenue recognition

 

We adopted Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenues from Contract with Customers (“ASC 606”) for all periods presented. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods and services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services, net of value-added tax. We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

Identify the contract with a customer;
   
Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
   
Determine the transaction price;
   
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
   
Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

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 by the control of the promised goods and services is transferred to the customers, which at a point in time or over time as appropriate.

 

Our revenues are net of value added tax (“VAT”) collected on behalf of PRC tax authorities in respect to the sales of merchandise. VAT collected from customers, net of VAT paid for purchases, is recorded as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets until it is paid to the relevant PRC tax authorities

 

Convertible promissory notes

 

We record debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Derivative instruments

 

We enter into financing arrangements that consist of freestanding derivative instruments or are hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative features. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”) as well as related interpretation of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, giving consideration to all of the rights and obligations of each instrument.

 

We estimate fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered to be consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, we consider, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as free-standing warrants, we generally use the Black-Scholes model, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms, dilution and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes. Under the terms of the new accounting standard, increases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and increases in fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative expense. Conversely, decreases in the trading price of the company’s common stock and decreases in trading fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative income.

 

Foreign currencies translation

 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations. The reporting currency of our company is the United States Dollar (“US$”). Our subsidiaries in the PRC maintain their books and records in their local currency, the Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”), which is the functional currency as it is the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate.

 

34

 

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

 

Segment reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about the type of products and services, geographical areas, business strategies and major customers in business components. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 the Company operated in four reportable segments: retail pharmacy, wholesale medical devices, wholesale pharmaceuticals and medical services in the PRC. For the three months ended March 31,2020, the Company operated in three reportable segments: retail pharmacy, wholesale medical devices and wholesale pharmaceuticals.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity ( “ASU 2020-06”), which focuses on amending the legacy guidance on convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 simplifies an issuer’s accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features. ASU 2020-06 also simplifies the settlement assessment that entities are required to perform to determine whether a contract qualifies for equity classification. Further, ASU 2020-06 enhances information transparency by making targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share (EPS) guidance, i.e., aligning the diluted EPS calculation for convertible instruments by requiring that an entity use the if-converted method and that the effect of potential share settlement be included in the diluted EPS calculation when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares, adding information about events or conditions that occur during the reporting period that cause conversion contingencies to be met or conversion terms to be significantly changed. This update will be effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities can elect to adopt the new guidance through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosure.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

Recent Developments

 

An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 spread globally in 2020. This outbreak resulted in travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, and lower consumer demand, layoffs, defaults and other significant economic impacts, as well as general concern and uncertainty.

 

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, our operations have been materially impacted. At the beginning of February 2020, the Chinese government issued a quarantine order, which lasted for more than two months in many parts of the country, where everyone had to stay at home. During February and March, all of our administrative functions had to be performed remotely. In July 2020, there was a second wave of COVID-19 and a lockdown in Dalian, which lasted for several weeks. As a result, sales in our pharmacy stores in Dalian continued to be severely impacted.

 

Because of the pandemic, we also suffered a significant reduction in sales during the first quarter in 2020. As a result of the Chinese government’s lockdown order, our customer traffic plummeted. Certain of our popular and high profit margin products could not be sold due to the governmental restrictive orders, which also resulted in the expiration of a large quantity of our inventory of medicines that are otherwise in high demand in the winter season.

 

During the epidemic outbreak of 2020, our pharmacies experienced significant difficulty in obtaining products including prescription drugs, OTC drugs, TCM, nutritional supplements, sundry products and medical consumables from our suppliers for resale, pending the settlement of several large court judgements against Boqi Zhengji in favor of such suppliers. As a result, our retail pharmacy business had minimal sales. On December 11, 2020, we entered into a Termination and Release Agreement (the “Release Agreement”) with four individuals (the “Boqi Zhengji Sellers”) who sold Boqi Zhengji to the Company. The parties to the Release Agreement confirmed that Boqi Zhengji’s performance targets as stipulated in the Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 11, 2019 (as amended on February 6, 2020, the “Boqi SPA”) would not be met, and therefore the Boqi Zhengji Sellers would not be eligible to receive the Cash Consideration or any other additional payment under the Boqi SPA.

 

Since the acquisition of Guanzan Group, our wholesale distribution of medical devices and pharmaceuticals made a significant contribution to our company. We started to focus on deeper penetration of the healthcare market in the Southwest region of China and gained a wider footprint in the PRC. We decided to re-focus retail pharmacies to Chongqing. By the end of 2020, we had opened five (5) retail pharmacies branded “Lijiantang”. We intend to open additional pharmacy stores to expand the geographic coverage of our pharmacy business.

 

35

 

Guoyitang and Zhongshan were acquired during February 2021 as part our plan to establish a more comprehensive healthcare platform, promote innovative internet healthcare services and to create a regional healthcare partnership. During April 2021, we continued to acquire three private hospitals, Wuzhou Qiangsheng Hospital (“Qiangsheng”) in the southeast region of the PRC, Suzhou Eurasia Hospital (“Eurasia”) in the central region of the PRC and Yunan Yuxi Minkang Hospital (“Minkang”) in the southwest region of the PRC. We believe that the hospital acquisitions will also accelerate our online-to-offline strategy. We believe that the online-to-offline platform, in combination with enhanced drug delivery and future telemedicine services, will help the hospitals expand the coverage of their services and offer better services to patients. 

 

We plan to form partnerships with hospitals with regional reputation and emerging medical services facilities, with the goal of making quality medical care more accessible to the wider public, especially in less-developed areas, to provide health management and healthcare services for both urban and rural residents alike in a more inclusive and coherent manner.

On February 26, 2021, Additional Notes in an aggregate original principal amount of $5,400,000 were issued to the Institutional Investors, together with the issuance of warrants to acquire an aggregate of 760,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $2.845 per share.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation and the identification of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2020, and during the period prior were not effective.

 

Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
   
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with management authorization; and
   
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Due to the Company’s limited resources, the Company does not have accounting personnel with extensive experience in maintaining books and records and preparing financial statements in accordance with US GAAP which could lead to untimely identification and resolution of accounting matters inherent in the Company’s financial transactions in accordance with US GAAP. .

While management believes that the financial statements we previously filed in our SEC reports have been properly recorded and disclosed in accordance with US GAAP, based on the control deficiencies identified above, management is currently seeking to engage an outside consultant with considerable public company reporting experience and breadth of knowledge of US GAAP to provide additional training to its accounting personnel in connection with the preparation and review of our financial statements. 

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Subject to the foregoing disclosure, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2021 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
