PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. Before investing in our Ordinary Shares, you should carefully read the entire Prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Prospectus. You should also consider, among other things, the matters described under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in each case appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Unless otherwise stated, all references to “us,” “our,” “we,” the “Company,” the “group” and similar designations refer to Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability.

History of the Company

The Company was originally incorporated under the name “Agate Island Acquisition Corporation” on April 4, 2016 under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. Until the Share Exchange described below, the business purpose of the Company was to seek the acquisition of, or merger with, an existing company. Accordingly, the Company was considered to be a "blank check" company.

On March 13, 2017, the Company changed its name to China Biotech Holdings Limited. The Company changed its name in anticipation of entering into a transaction with a company in China engaged in the Biopharma or Biotech industry.

On May 3, 2017, the Company effected a change of its control. The Company cancelled an aggregate of 19,500,000 shares of the then 20,000,000 shares of outstanding stock valued at par. James M. Cassidy resigned as the Company's president, secretary and director and James McKillop resigned as the Company's vice president and director. Ting Ting Chang was then named sole director and President, Secretary and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. On May 4, 2017, the Company issued 8,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to Ting Ting Chang for no consideration as a result of the change in control.

The Company registered its Common Stock on a Form 10 registration statement filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and Rule 12(g) thereof. The Company files periodic and current reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under Rule 13(a) of the Exchange Act. Prior to the redomicile merger described below, the Company filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K.

On November 15, 2017, our Board of Directors unanimously adopted resolutions approving the redomicile of the Company from Delaware to the Cayman Islands. The Company changed its domicile, effective August 21, 2018, by merging into its wholly-owned Cayman Islands subsidiary, Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology Holdings Limited (the “Redomicile Merger”). As a result of the Redomicile Merger, the Company’s name was changed to Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology Holdings Limited, each outstanding share of Common Stock was exchanged for one Ordinary Share and we became governed by our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and by the Companies Law (Revised) of the Cayman Islands rather than by our previous Articles and Bylaws and the Delaware Corporate Code.

On August 31, 2019, the Company closed on a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) with Zhong Yuan Investment Limited, (“Zhong Yuan Investment”), a Seychelles company limited by shares. Prior to the exchange, Zhong Yuan Investment owned 100% of the shares of China Bio-Technology Holdings Limited (“China Bio”), a company organized under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles. Under the Share Exchange Agreement, Zhong Yuan Investment exchanged all of the shares that it held in China Bio for 161,500,000 Ordinary Shares of the Company. The Shares issued to Zhong Yuan Investment in connection with the Share Exchange were not registered under the Securities Act. As a result of the Share Exchange, China Bio is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the acquisition, the Company, through its subsidiary, Bao Feng Bio-Technology (Beijing) Limited (“Bao Feng”), is engaged in the business of nervonic acid research, the development of nervonic acid based herbal and chemical drugs and the sale of health supplements containing nervonic acid.

On December 13, 2019, the Company closed on the sale of 1,450,000 Ordinary Shares, at a purchase price of $0.10 per Share, pursuant to a private securities offering (the “2019 Private Offering”) conducted under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. In accordance with Regulation S, the Shares were offered and sold solely outside the United States to investors who are not U.S. persons, as defined in Regulation S.

On July 24, 2020, the Company completed a one-for-ten reverse stock split of the Company’s Ordinary Shares (the “Reverse Stock Split”). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the authorized share capital of the Company was decreased from 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares with a par value of US$0.0001 each to 50,000,000 Ordinary Shares with a par value of US$0.001 each, and the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares was decreased from 171,450,000 Shares to 17,145,000 Shares. All information and data in this Prospectus relative to our Ordinary Shares has been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split unless stated otherwise.

On November 17, 2020, the Company sold 50,000 Ordinary Shares (post Reverse Stock Split), at a purchase price of $1.00 per Share, pursuant to a private securities offering conducted under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. In accordance with Regulation S, the Shares were offered and sold solely outside the United States to an investor who is not a U.S. person, as defined in Regulation S.

On November 17, 2020, the Company acquired 25,000 of its Ordinary Shares (post Reverse Stock Split) from one of the shareholders of the Company. The Shares were acquired for consideration of $25,000. These Shares were thereafter cancelled.

On November 18, 2020, the Company acquired 25,000 of its Ordinary Shares (post Reverse Stock Split) from one of the shareholders of the Company. The Shares were acquired for consideration of $25,000. These Shares were thereafter cancelled.

On December 31, 2020, Bao Feng completed its acquisition of a 100% equity interest in Dandong Bao Feng Seedling Technology Co., Limited (“Dandong BF”) from Yu Chang, the record owner of 41.6% of the outstanding shares of Zhong Yuan Investment and Ting-ting Chang’s father, our CEO and director for a total consideration of RMB10,500,000 (approximately $1,500,000). A deposit of RMB3,160,000 (approximately $465,460 as of September 30, 2020) was paid upon signing of the Equity Transfer Agreement on March 1, 2020. The balance of RMB7,340,000 (approximately $1,082,000 as of September 30, 2020) was settled by offsetting the amounts due from related companies of which Yu Chang is the owner and director. Dandong BF was incorporated in the PRC on March 11, 2019 and is principally engaged in the research, development and growing of Acer Truncatum seeds in Dandong city, Liaoning Province, in the north-eastern region of the PRC. Dandong BF has approximately 3,000,000 acer truncatum trees that are grown on land that is subject to 10-year leases that commenced on January 1, 2019 and terminate on December 31, 2028. This acquisition could allow the Company to control the supply and ensure the quality of its acer truncatum seeds and seedlings, the important raw material of nervonic acid.

When we refer in this Prospectus to business and financial information for periods prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange, we are referring to the business and financial information of Zhong Yuan Investment and its subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise; when we use phrases such as “we,” “our,” “company” and “us,” we are referring to the Company and all of its subsidiaries, as a combined entity.

The purpose of the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part is to register for resale a portion of the Shares issued pursuant to the Redomicile Merger and the Share Exchange, as well as the Shares issued in the 2019 Private Offering.

Business of the Company

The Company is in the business of nervonic acid research, the development of nervonic acid based herbal and chemical drugs and the sale of health supplements containing nervonic acid. Nervonic acid is a long chain unsaturated omega 9 fatty acid that is an important component in myelin biosynthesis in the central and peripheral nervous system. Myelin insulates nerve cell axons to increase the speed at which information (encoded as an electrical signal) travels from one nerve cell body to another or from a nerve cell to another type of cell in the body. It is thought that nervonic acid may enhance brain function and prevent demyelination of nerve cells, and that, therefore, it may be effective in retaining or improving the health of the brain, for example in preventing or ameliorating attention-deficit hyperactive disorder (“ADHD”) in children, Alzheimer's disease and mental degradation in the elderly and cerebrovascular disease, as well as promoting normal brain development in premature infants. The role of nervonic acid is also being studied with respect to psychotic illnesses, such as schizophrenia.

Since it is considered to be an important biomarker for many neurological diseases, such as ADHD in children and neurodegenerative diseases in the elderly, management believes that there exists a significant market for nervonic acid health supplements among those populations. Bao Feng’s marketing efforts are primarily aimed at the elderly population.

Nervonic acid is not present in many foods. It has been found that the dried seeds of the acer truncatum tree, which is a type of maple native to northern China, Mongolia and Korea, contain 5.8% nervonic acid. Therefore, the seed oil is considered to be a good source of natural nervonic acid, as well as other compounds such as Vitamin E. The Company extracts the nervonic acid that it utilizes in its products from acer truncatum seeds.

The raw material sources of nervonic acid are insufficient to meet the demand in China. Therefore, Bao Feng has a contract with the Weng Niu Te Qi government pursuant to which it obtains acer truncatum seeds and seedlings both for use in making its products and for sale. In addition, Bao Feng has a distribution agreement with an American health product company to expand its business by serving as the exclusive distributor in China of that company’s products. Management of the Company also intends to expand the Company’s product lineup by building factories for purification of nervonic acid for medical level product usage. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to effect this plan.

The Company’s current products consist of:

NEURO ENHANCER nervonic acid oil

Muzhiyuan acer truncatum formula oil

NEURO ENHANCER capsule

Life’s NA Candy

High-quality seedlings of Acer Truncatum

Risk Factors

Investing in our Ordinary Shares involves risks. You should carefully consider the risks described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 8 of this Prospectus before making a decision to purchase Ordinary Shares. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our Ordinary Shares would likely decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Our Securities

Our authorized capital is $50,000, consisting of 50,000,000 Shares, $0.001 par value per Share (after the Reverse Stock Split). Holders of our Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote for each whole share on all matters to be voted upon by shareholders, including the election of directors. Holders of our Ordinary Shares do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. All of our fully paid Ordinary Shares are equal to each other with respect to dividend rights. Holders of our Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive dividends if and when declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor under Cayman Islands law. In the event of our liquidation, the liquidator may, after having discharged the debts, if any, of the Company, divide among the shareholders on a pari passu basis, in specie or in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for such purpose set such value as he deems fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid. Holders of our Ordinary Shares have no preemptive rights to purchase any additional unissued Ordinary Shares. The Board of Directors has the ability to determine the rights, preferences and restrictions of preferred shares at their discretion.

As of March 31, 2021, there were 17,145,000 (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) of our Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. All Shares were fully paid. We do not have any options to purchase Shares or any preferred shares outstanding. (For a more complete description of our Ordinary Shares, see “Description of Share Capital,” below.)

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Foreign Private Issuer

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from specified disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. These exemptions include:

●

being permitted to provide only two years of audited financial statements, in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements, with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;

●

not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements for the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting provided by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

●

reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation; and

●

not being required to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation or seek shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

We may take advantage of these provisions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.0 billion in annual revenue; (ii) the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; (iii) the issuance, in any three-year period, by our company of more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement.

We are also considered a “foreign private issuer” and will report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. This means that, even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:

●

the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;

●

the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and

●

the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, or current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events.

We may take advantage of these exemptions until such time as we are no longer a foreign private issuer. We would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are held by U.S. residents and any of the following three circumstances applies: (i) the majority of our executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents; (ii) more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States; or (iii) our business is administered principally in the United States.

We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have taken advantage of reduced reporting requirements in this Prospectus. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different from the information you receive from our competitors that are public companies, or other public companies in which you have made an investment.

Investing in our Ordinary Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks and all other information contained in this Prospectus, including our financial statements, China Bio’s consolidated financial statements and the related notes, before making an investment decision regarding our securities. The risks and uncertainties described below are those significant risk factors, currently known and specific to us that we believe are relevant to an investment in our securities. If any of these risks materialize, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer, the price of our Ordinary Shares could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and results of operations.

The Company is in the process of developing its business and has a limited operating history. You should consider our future prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties experienced by early stage companies. Some of these risks and uncertainties relate to our ability to:

If we are unsuccessful in addressing any of these risks and uncertainties, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

We envision a period of rapid growth that may impose a significant burden on our administrative and operational resources that, if not effectively managed, could impair our growth.

Our strategy envisions a period of rapid growth that may impose a significant burden on our administrative and operational resources. The growth of our business will require significant investments of capital and management’s close attention. Our ability to effectively manage our growth will require us to substantially expand the capabilities of our administrative and operational resources and to attract, train, manage and retain qualified management, research and development, sales and marketing and other personnel; we may be unable to do so. In addition, our failure to successfully manage our growth could result in our sales not increasing commensurately with capital investments. If we are unable to successfully manage our growth, we may be unable to achieve our goals.

We may not be able to raise the additional capital necessary to execute our business strategy, which could result in the curtailment of our operations.

We will need to raise additional funds to fully fund our existing operations and for development and expansion of our business. We have no current arrangements with respect to sources of additional financing and the needed additional financing may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, on a timely basis or at all. The inability to obtain additional financing when needed would have a negative effect on us, including possibly requiring us to curtail our operations. If any future financing involves the sale of equity securities, the Shares held by our shareholders could be substantially diluted. If we borrow money or issue debt securities, the Company will be subject to the risks associated with indebtedness, including the risk that interest rates may fluctuate and the possibility that it may not be able to pay principal and interest on the indebtedness when due. Insufficient funds would prevent us from implementing our business plan and would require us to delay, scale back or eliminate certain of our operations.

We will be required to hire and retain skilled managerial, research and development and sales and marketing personnel.

Our continued success depends in large part on our ability to attract, train, motivate and retain qualified management, research and development and sales and marketing personnel. Any failure to attract and retain the required personnel that are integral to our business may have a negative impact on our operations, which would have a negative impact on revenues. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain skilled persons and the loss of skilled personnel would adversely affect us.

We are dependent upon our officers and management for direction and the loss of any of these persons could adversely affect our operations and results.

We are dependent upon our and Bao Feng’s officers for implementation of our proposed strategy and execution of our business plan. The loss of any of our or Bao Feng’s officers could have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations and financial position. We do not maintain “key person” life insurance for any of our or Bao Feng’s officers. The loss of any of our or Bao Feng’s officers could delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives.

We are a holding company with a total of four subsidiaries; however, at the current time only one of those subsidiaries, Bao Feng, is conducting operations. Although the Company plans to expand the marketing and sale of Bao Feng’s products into the international arena and to have a different subsidiary, Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology (Hong Kong) Limited, handle the international business, it is expected that China will remain our primary market. In addition, the products sold in the international market will be the same products developed by Bao Feng. Therefore, we will remain primarily dependent on Bao Feng for our revenue. If Bao Feng is not profitable, our business, results of operations and cash flows could be significantly and adversely affected.

We may be sued or become a party to litigation, which could require significant management time and attention and result in significant legal expenses and may result in an unfavorable outcome, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We may be subject to a number of lawsuits from time to time arising in the ordinary course of our business. The expense of defending ourselves against such litigation may be significant. The amount of time to resolve these lawsuits is unpredictable and defending ourselves may divert management’s attention from the day-to-day operations of our business, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, an unfavorable outcome in such litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows.

Future sales of our securities, or the perception in the markets that these sales may occur, could depress our stock price.

We currently have issued and outstanding 17,145,000 Ordinary Shares (post Reverse Stock Split). Although only 2,236,192 of those Shares have been registered under the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part, the remaining 14,908,808 Shares also may be sold in the future if registered under the Securities Act or if the shareholder qualifies for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act, or other applicable exemption. The market price of our capital stock could drop significantly if the holders of these restricted Shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. These factors also could make it more difficult for us to raise capital or make acquisitions through the issuance of additional Ordinary Shares or other equity securities.

The ability of the Board of Directors of the Company to issue preferred shares and any anti-takeover provisions we adopt may depress the value of our Ordinary Shares.

Our Articles of Association authorize our Board of Directors to provide, out of unissued Shares, for preferred shares in one or more classes or series within a class upon authority of the Board without further shareholder approval. While no preferred shares are currently issued or outstanding, we may issue preferred shares in the future. Any preferred shares issued in the future may rank senior to the Ordinary Shares with respect to the payment of dividends or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or both, and any such preferred shares may have class or series voting rights. The future issuance of preferred shares could materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of our Ordinary Shares and dilute the ordinary shareholders’ holdings.

In addition, the Board of Directors may, in the future, adopt anti-takeover measures (albeit the Board of Directors may not introduce any anti-takeover measures in our Articles of Association within a Special Resolution of Shareholders). The authority of the Board of Directors to issue preferred shares and any future anti-takeover measures it may adopt may, in certain circumstances, delay, deter or prevent takeover attempts and other changes in control of the Company not approved by its Board of Directors. As a result, the Company’s shareholders may lose opportunities to dispose of their Shares at favorable prices generally available in takeover attempts or that may be available under a merger proposal and the market price of the Ordinary Shares and the voting and other rights of the Company’s shareholders may also be affected.

Our shareholders may face difficulties in protecting their interests, and their ability to protect their rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law, we conduct substantially all of our operations in China and all of our directors and officers reside outside the United States.

We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands and conduct substantially all of our operations in China. Both of our directors and officers reside outside the United States and their assets are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for a shareholder to effect service of process or to bring an action against us or against these individuals in the Cayman Islands or in Hong Kong or China in the event that a shareholder believes that his rights have been infringed under the securities laws or otherwise. Even if a shareholder is successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong and China may render the shareholder unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers. There is no statutory recognition in the Cayman Islands or Hong Kong of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong will generally recognize and enforce a non-penal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended and restated from time to time, and by the Companies Law (Revised) and common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against us and our directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, which provides persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedents in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws than the United States and provides significantly less protection to investors. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in U.S. federal courts.

PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of PRC Civil Procedure Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other form of reciprocity with the United States or the Cayman Islands that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedure Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or public interest.

As a result, our shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against us, our management, our directors or our major shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States.

It may be difficult for overseas regulators to conduct investigation or collect evidence within China.

Shareholder claims or regulatory investigations that are common in the United States generally are difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in China. For example, in China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to providing information needed for regulatory investigations or litigation initiated outside China. Although the authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authorities of another country or region to implement cross-border supervision and administration, such cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the Unities States may not be efficient in the absence of a mutual and practical cooperation mechanism. Furthermore, according to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law, or Article 177, which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within the territory of the PRC. While detailed interpretation of or implementation rules under Article 177 have yet to be promulgated, the inability for an overseas securities regulator to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within China may further increase difficulties faced by our shareholders in protecting their interests.

There may be conflicts of interest between our management and our non-management shareholders.

Conflicts of interest create the risk that our officers and directors may have an incentive to act adversely to the interests of the Company. A conflict of interest may arise between our officers and directors’ personal pecuniary interests and their fiduciary duty to our shareholders.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, shareholders could lose confidence in our financial and other public reporting, which would harm our business and the future trading price of our Shares.

Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed to prevent fraud. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Ineffective internal control could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the future trading price of our Shares.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in the Company and in China Bio and its subsidiaries. As defined in Regulation 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, a “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented, or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, we determined that we had the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting: (i) we have limited controls over information processing; (ii) we have inadequate segregation of duties; (iii) we do not have a formal audit committee with a financial expert; and (iv) we do not have sufficient formal written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, and SEC guidelines.

As a result, our Board of Directors has appointed two independent directors and formed an audit committee comprised of those two independent directors. However, although the financial statements and footnotes are now reviewed by our management audit committee, we still do not have a formal policy to review significant accounting transactions and the accounting treatment of such transactions

Even if we develop effective internal controls over financial reporting, such controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with such policies or procedures may deteriorate, which could result in the discovery of additional material weaknesses and deficiencies. In any event, the process of determining whether our existing internal control over financial reporting is compliant with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“Section 404”) and is sufficiently effective requires the investment of substantial time and resources by our senior management. As a result, this process may divert internal resources and take a significant amount of time and effort to complete. In addition, we cannot predict the outcome of this process and whether we will need to implement remedial actions in order to establish effective controls over financial reporting. The determination of whether or not our internal controls are sufficient, and any remedial actions required could result in us incurring additional costs that we did not anticipate, including the hiring of additional outside consultants. We may also fail to timely complete our evaluation, testing and any remediation required to comply with Section 404.

We are required, pursuant to Section 404, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. However, for as long as we are a “smaller reporting company,” our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404. While we could be a smaller reporting company for an indefinite amount of time, and thus relieved of the above-mentioned attestation requirement, an independent assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting could detect problems that our audit committee’s assessment might not. Such undetected material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting could lead to financial statement restatements and require us to incur the expense of remediation.

To the extent that our independent registered public accounting firm’s audit documentation related to their audit reports for the Company are, or will be, located in China, the PCAOB may not be able to inspect such audit documentation and, as a result, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection.

Our independent registered public accounting firm issued audit opinions on the financial statements included in this Prospectus and will issue audit reports related to the Company in the future. As the auditor of a company filing reports with the SEC and as a firm registered with the PCAOB, our auditor is required by the laws of the United States to undergo regular inspections by the PCAOB. However, to the extent that our auditor’s work papers are or become located in China, such work papers will not be subject to inspection by the PCAOB because the PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections without the approval of the Chinese authorities. Inspections of certain other firms that the PCAOB has conducted outside of China have identified deficiencies in those firms’ audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality. The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of our auditors’ work papers in China would make it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of China that are subject to PCAOB inspections. Investors may consequently lose confidence in our reported financial information and procedures and the quality of our financial statements. As a result, our investors may be deprived of the benefits of the PCAOB’s oversight of our auditors through such inspections.

In addition, trade tensions and policy changes between China and the United States have also led to measures that could have adverse effects on China-based issuers, including proposed legislation in the United States that would require listed companies whose audit reports and/or auditors are not subject to review by the PCAOB to be subject to enhanced disclosure obligations and be subject to delisting if they do not comply with the requirements. If our auditor is sanctioned or otherwise penalized by the PCAOB or the SEC as a result of failure to comply with inspection or investigation requirements, our financial statements could be determined to be not in compliance with the requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or other laws or rules in the United States, which could ultimately result in our Shares being delisted from whatever exchange they may become listed on.

We have never paid dividends on our Shares and do not presently intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that any funds available for payment of dividends will be re-invested into the Company to further its business strategy.

Our business depends on the market recognition of our brand. If we are not able to maintain our reputation and enhance our brand recognition, our business and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

The quality and acceptance of our products will determine whether our brand becomes recognized as a leading brand in the industry. We believe that market recognition of our brand is a key factor to ensuring our future success. As we continue to grow in size and broaden the scope of our product offerings, however, it may become increasingly difficult to maintain the quality and consistency of the products we offer, which may negatively impact our brand and the popularity of our products offered thereunder.

Our brand value will also be affected by customer perceptions. Those perceptions are affected by a number of factors, some of which are based on first-hand observation of our product quality and effectiveness while others may be based on indirect information from media or other sources. Incidents and any negative publicity related thereto, even if factually incorrect, may lead to significant deterioration of our brand image and reputation, and consequently negatively affect customers’ interest in our products, as well as top-notch sales and marketing personnel’s interest in being associated with our brand. Particularly in the age of digital media and social network, impacts of negative publicity associated with any single incident could be easily amplified and potentially cause impacts that go beyond our estimation or control.

In addition, scientific studies on health products are constantly evolving and new or innovative conclusions on effectiveness may affect customers’ perception of our products. If we are unable to maintain our reputation, enhance our brand recognition or increase positive awareness of our products, it may be difficult to maintain and grow our customer base and distribution channels, and our business and growth prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

We may face increasing competition in our industry and may not be able to successfully compete with our competitors.

Our business is in an industry that we expect to become increasingly competitive, and many of our competitors, both local and international, may have substantially greater technical, financial and marketing resources than we have. As a result, we may be unable to compete successfully with these competitors. As competition increases, we may also face pressures on pricing which could result in lower margins. Lower margins may affect our ability to cover our costs, which could have a material negative impact on our operations and our business.

We may not be successful in introducing new products or enhancing our existing products.

We currently offer four health supplement products, plus our acer truncatum seedlings. We intend to continue developing new products, as well as further enhancing our existing products. This process is subject to risks and uncertainties, such as unexpected technical, regulatory, operational, logistical or other problems that could delay the process temporarily or permanently. Moreover, we cannot assure you that any of these new products or enhancements of existing products will fulfill customer needs, match the quality or popularity of those developed by our competitors, achieve widespread market acceptance or generate incremental revenues.

In addition, introducing new products or enhancing existing products requires us to make various investments in research and development, incur personnel expenses and potentially reallocate other resources. If we are unable to develop new products or cannot do so in a cost-effective manner or are otherwise unable to manage effectively the quality of those products, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our business is affected by global, national and local economic conditions, as the products we sell are discretionary.

We depend upon factors relating to discretionary consumer spending in China. These factors include economic conditions, consumers, employment rates, the amounts of consumers' disposable income, business conditions, interest rates, consumer debt, availability of credit and applicable taxation in regional and local markets where we sell our products. There can be no assurance that consumer spending for our products will not be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions.

Our ability to establish effective marketing and advertising campaigns is the key to our success.

Our advertisements promote our products and the pricing of such products. If we are unable to increase awareness of our brands and our products, we may not be able to attract new customers. Our marketing activities may not be successful in promoting or pricing our products or retaining and enlarging our customer base. We cannot assure you that our marketing programs will be adequate to support our future growth, which may lead to material adverse effects on our results of operations.

Consumer preferences in the health care industry change rapidly and are difficult to predict.

The success of our business depends on our ability to anticipate accurately and respond to future changes in consumer demand, maintain the correct inventory, deliver the appropriate products at the right prices and produce our products at minimum costs. We must optimize our product selection and inventory based on consumer preferences and sales trends. If we fail to anticipate, identify or react appropriately to changes in consumer demand, we could experience excess inventories, higher than normal markdowns or be unable to sell the products, which will reduce our revenue, financial position and results of operations.

While we must maintain sufficient inventory to operate our business successfully and meet our customers' demands, we must be careful to not overstock.

Changing consumer demands and uncertainty surrounding new product launches expose us to increasing inventory risks. Demand for products can change rapidly and unexpectedly, including the back order time and availability for sale. We carry five different products for which we must maintain sufficient inventory amounts. In the event that consumer demand for certain of our products decreases, we may be unable to sell our inventory of those products. Our inventory holding costs will increase if we maintain excess inventory. However, if we do not have sufficient inventory to fulfill customer orders, we may lose orders or customers, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure you that we can accurately predict consumer demand and events and avoid over-stocking or under-stocking products.

We currently rely on five products, including our acer truncatum seedlings, for our revenue. We do not currently have any other products that we could rely on to support our operations if we were to experience any difficulty with the manufacture, marketing, sale or distribution of these product lines. If we are unable to sustain or increase the price or sales levels for these product lines, our business could be harmed.

If we are to expand our product offerings, or if we experience increased capital requirements for any reason, we may need to raise additional capital.

We primarily depend on our Neuro Enhancer product line for 70% of our revenue. We may decide to expand our product portfolio, which would entail increased research and development expenses. If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our requirements in this regard, we may need to raise additional capital. If we are unable to raise additional required capital in a timely manner, or on acceptable terms, we could be forced to reduce our growth plans. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us or that it will be available on acceptable terms.

We depend upon our largest customers for a significant portion of our sales revenue, and we cannot be certain that sales to these customers will continue. If sales to these customers do not continue, then our sales revenue will decline and our business will be negatively impacted.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, three customers accounted for approximately 55% of Bao Feng’s sales. We do not enter into long-term contracts with our customers but manufacture based upon purchase orders and therefore cannot be certain that sales to these customers will continue. . Unless we were able to replace them with other customers, the loss of any of our three largest customers would have a material negative impact on our sales revenue and our business. There can be no assurance that we would be able to compensate for the loss of any of these major customers.

As a manufacturer of products that are ingested, we could face product liability claims if, among other things, our products are alleged to result in injury to a consumer. If we are found liable for product liability claims, we could be required to pay substantial monetary damages. Furthermore, even if we successfully defend ourselves against this type of claim, we could be required to spend significant management, financial and other resources, which could disrupt our business.

In addition, any product liability claim or adverse side effects, even if caused by improper use of our product, may result in adverse publicity regarding us and our products, which would harm our reputation.

If we fail to protect our trademarks and trade names, then our ability to compete could be negatively affected, which would harm our financial condition and operating results.

The market for our products depends to a significant extent upon the goodwill associated with our trademarks and trade names. We own the material trademark and trade name rights used in connection with the packaging, marketing and distribution of our products in the markets where those products are sold. Therefore, trademark and trade name protection is important to our business. Our trademarks are registered in China, and Chinese law may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. The loss or infringement of our trademarks or trade names could impair the goodwill associated with our brands and harm our reputation, which would harm our financial condition and operating results.

There is limited protection of intellectual property available in China. Accordingly, we face the risk in China that unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain or use our trademarks, copyrights, product formulations or other intellectual property. Further, because Chinese commercial law is relatively undeveloped, we may have limited legal recourse in the event we encounter significant difficulties with intellectual property theft or infringement. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to adequately protect our product formulations or other intellectual property.

We manufacture all of our products, other than our acer truncatum seedlings, through contractual arrangements with various manufacturers. As a result, we are dependent upon the uninterrupted and efficient operation of their manufacturing facilities, over which we have no control. In addition, our acer truncatum trees are grown on several tree farms in Inner Mongolia and Liaoning Province, in China. The facilities manufacturing our products and the tree farms at which our acer truncatum trees are grown are subject to the risk of catastrophic loss due to, among other things, earthquake, fire, flood or other natural or man-made disasters, and the manufacturing facilities are also subject to the risk of significant equipment failures. If any of these facilities were to experience a catastrophic loss, it would be expected to disrupt their operations and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Cyber security risks and the failure to maintain the integrity of data belonging to our company, employees and customers could expose us to data loss, litigation and liability, and our reputation could be significantly harmed.

We collect and retain large volumes of data relating to our business and from our employees and customers for business purposes, including for transactional and promotional purposes, and our various information technology systems enter, process, summarize and report such data. The integrity and protection of this data is critical to our business. We are subject to significant security and privacy regulations, as well as requirements imposed by the credit card industry. Maintaining compliance with these evolving regulations and requirements could be difficult and may increase our expenses. In addition, a penetrated or compromised data system or the intentional, inadvertent or negligent release or disclosure of data could result in theft, loss or fraudulent or unlawful use of data relating to our company or our employees, independent distributors or customers, which could harm our reputation, disrupt our operations or result in remedial and other costs, fines or lawsuits.

Difficulties in registering our products for sale in Mainland China could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Although Bao Feng has obtained all required approval documents for its current products, which are considered dietary supplements, if it expands into the medical market, it will need to apply for medical qualifications. This process may involve an extended period of time and significant man-hours and may delay us from offering new medical products for sale or prevent us from launching new product initiatives.

For example, products marketed in China as “health foods” or for which certain claims are used are subject to “blue cap” or “blue hat” registrations, which involve extensive laboratory and clinical analysis by governmental authorities. This registration process can take anywhere from 18 months to 3 years, but may be substantially longer. We currently market dietary supplements. However, if government officials should determine that our products should be categorized as health foods, this could end or limit our ability to market such products in China and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our business is subject to risks arising from epidemic diseases, such as the recent outbreak of COVID-19.

In December 2019, a novel strain of COVID-19 was reported in Wuhan, China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization categorized it as a pandemic. To reduce the spread of the COVID-19, the Chinese government has employed measures including city lockdowns, quarantines, travel restrictions, suspension of business activities and school closures.

Our business has been and may continue to be adversely impacted. Our sole operating subsidiary is located in China, as are all of its employees, suppliers, product manufacturers, distributors and customers. Although Bao Feng’s online sales were not significantly affected by the epidemic, its total sales decreased by approximately 60.7% from RMB3,863,441 (approximately US$544,147) during the three months ended March 31, 2019 to RMB1,520,125 (approximately US$214,102) for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Its production capacity was significantly reduced due to the government lockdown and orders were filled through existing inventory. In addition, Bao Feng’s planned business expansion was delayed due to travel restrictions and other factors, the planting of acer truncatum seedlings had to be postponed for a year and the company was unable to work towards expanding its distribution network.

The Company resumed operations in March 2020 and received and fulfilled an increasing number of customer orders in the first half of fiscal year 2021. However, our revenues for the first six months of fiscal year 2021 still decreased approximately 12.2% as compared to fiscal year 2020, from $756,063 to $664,093. Our gross profit decreased approximately 21.0% as compared to fiscal year 2020, from $585,783 in fiscal year 2020 to $462,737 in fiscal year 2021. Although the negative impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak on our business seems to be temporary and several vaccines have been developed, there is still uncertainty both in China and globally and potential disruption to business and the economy. A resurgence could negatively affect our production capacity, the collection of customer payments or disruption of the Company’s supply chain. The continued uncertainties associated with COVID-19 may cause the Company’s revenue and cash flows to underperform in fiscal year 2021 and, potentially, beyond. The extent of the future impact of COVID-19 is still highly uncertain and cannot be predicted as of the date of this prospectus.

We may also experience negative effects from future public health crises beyond our control. These events are impossible to forecast, their negative effects may be difficult to mitigate and they could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Recent trade policy initiatives announced by the United States administration against the PRC may adversely affect our business.

On August 14, 2017, the President of the United States issued a memorandum instructing the U.S. Trade Representative (“USTR”) to determine whether to investigate, under Section 301 of the U.S. Trade Act of 1974 (Trade Act), laws, policies, practices, or actions of the PRC government that may be unreasonable or discriminatory and that may be harming U.S. intellectual property rights, innovation, or technology development. Based on information gathered in that investigation, the USTR published a report on March 22, 2018 on the acts, policies and practices of the PRC government supporting findings that certain such acts, policies and practices are unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict U.S. commerce.

On March 8, 2018, the President exercised his authority to issue the imposition of significant tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum from a number of countries, including the PRC. Subsequently, the USTR announced an initial proposed list of 1,300 goods imported from the PRC that could be subject to additional tariffs and initiated a dispute with the World Trade Organization against the PRC for alleged unfair trade practices. The President indicated that his two primary concerns to be addressed by the PRC were (i) a mandatory $100 billion reduction in the PRC/U.S. trade deficit and (ii) limiting the planned $300 billion PRC government support for advanced technology industries including artificial intelligence, semiconductors, electric cars and commercial aircraft. On June 15, 2018, the President announced that the U.S. would proceed with tariffs on $34 billion worth of Chinese goods, including agriculture and industrial machinery, which prompted the PRC government to impose tariffs on $34 billion worth of goods from the U.S., including beef, poultry, tobacco and cars. In response to the PRC’s proposed retaliatory measures, the President announced on June 19, 2018 that the U.S. would compile a list of $200 billion in Chinese goods for levies should the PRC move forward with their proposed tariffs. On August 7, 2018, the U.S. announced a tariff of 25% on approximately $16 billion worth of predominantly industrial goods from China, including tractors, plastic tubes and antennas, which went into effect on August 23, 2018. In response, on August 8, 2018, China announced a 25% tariff on $16 billion worth of U.S. goods, including large passenger cars, motorcycles, chemical items and diesel fuel, which also went into effect on August 23, 2018. On September 7, 2018, the President warned that he was prepared to impose tariffs on another $267 billion worth of Chinese goods, which, in addition to the other previously announced tariffs, would cover virtually all of China’s imports into the U.S. but, instead, on September 17, 2018 the U.S. imposed a 10% tariff on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods. On September 18, 2018, China retaliated with 5% tariffs on $60 billion of US goods. On May 10, 2019 the U.S. announced an increase from 10% to 25% in the tariff imposed on September 17, 2018 and on May 13, 2018 China announced increases from 5% to either 10%, 20% or 25% in the tariffs on many of the goods covered by the tariffs announced by on September 18, 2018. As of the date of this filing, the U.S. has applied 25% tariffs on US$250 billion worth of Chinese products. In response, China has imposed tariffs on $110 billion worth of U.S. goods.

In addition to the retaliatory tariffs, the President also directed the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury to develop new restrictions on PRC investments in the U.S. aimed at preventing PRC-controlled companies and funds from acquiring U.S. firms with sensitive technologies. The Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act, which modernizes the restrictive powers imposed by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, was signed by President Trump on August 13, 2018.

Since late 2019, as a result of ongoing negotiations with the United States, China unveiled several tariff exemptions for U.S. products, including various agricultural products. Under the phase one trade deal agreed with the United States by the end of 2019, China released additional exemptions from tariffs and agreed to purchase at least an additional US$200 billion worth of U.S. goods and services by the end of 2021. It is uncertain whether there will be any further material changes to China’s tariff policies. Any further actions to increase existing tariffs or impose additional tariffs could result in an escalation of the trade conflict, which would have an adverse effect on manufacturing levels, trade levels and industries, including logistics, retail sales and other businesses and services that rely on trade, commerce and manufacturing, as well as on our marketplaces that rely upon imports.

The institution of trade tariffs both globally and between the U.S. and China specifically carries the risk of negatively affecting China’s overall economic condition, which could have a negative impact on us. Furthermore, imposition of tariffs could have a negative impact on our supply chain and on foreign demand for our products and, thus, could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations. During the year ended March 31, 2020, approximately 56.9% of our sales were to customers in the United States.

Trade tensions and policy changes have also led to measures that could have adverse effects on China-based issuers, including proposed legislation in the United States that would require listed companies whose audit reports and/or auditors are not subject to review by the PCAOB to be subject to enhanced disclosure obligations and be subject to delisting if they do not comply with the requirements.

The Market Price For Our Shares Could Be Adversely Affected By Increased Tensions Between The United States and China.

Recently there have been heightened tensions in the economic and political relations between the United States and China. On June 30, 2020, the Standing Committee of the PRC National People's Congress issued the Law of the People's Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). This law defines the duties and government bodies of the HKSAR for safeguarding national security and four categories of offences—secession, subversion, terrorist activities and collusion with a foreign country or external elements to endanger national security—and their corresponding penalties. On July 14, 2020, U.S. President Donald Trump signed the Hong Kong Autonomy Act, or HKAA, into law, authorizing the U.S. administration to impose blocking sanctions against individuals and entities who are determined to have materially contributed to the erosion of Hong Kong's autonomy. On August 7, 2020 the U.S. government imposed HKAA-authorized sanctions on eleven individuals, including HKSAR chief executive Carrie Lam. The HKAA further authorizes secondary sanctions, including the imposition of blocking sanctions, against foreign financial institutions that knowingly conduct a significant transaction with foreign persons sanctioned under this authority. The imposition of sanctions such as those provided in the HKAA is in practice discretionary and highly political, especially in a relationship as extensive and complex as that between the United States and China. It is difficult to predict the full impact of the HKAA on Hong Kong and companies like the Company. Furthermore, legislative or administrative actions in respect of Sino-U.S. relations could cause investor uncertainty for affected issuers, including us, and the market price of our Shares could be adversely affected.

The Chinese government may exert substantial influence over the manner in which we conduct our business operations in China.

The Chinese government has exercised, and continues to exercise, substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to conduct our operations in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to regulation of the health product industry, taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, property ownership and other matters. We believe that our operations in China are in material compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. However, the central or local governments of the jurisdictions in which we operate may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations. Accordingly, government actions in the future could have a significant effect on us and our business.

Substantially all of our assets are located in China and substantially all of our revenue is currently derived from our operations in China. Accordingly, our results of operations and prospects are subject, to a significant extent, to economic, political and legal developments in China.

While China’s economy has experienced significant growth over the past decades, growth has been irregular, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the rate of growth has been slowing since 2012. Any adverse changes in economic conditions in China, in the policies of the Chinese government or in the laws and regulations in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China. Such developments could adversely affect our business and operating results, lead to reduction in demand for our products and adversely affect our competitive position. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall economy of China but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, our operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations.

The economy of China has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. In recent years the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform and the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of improved corporate governance in business enterprises; however, a substantial portion of productive assets in China are still owned by the Chinese government. In addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. It also exercises significant control over China's economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

Fluctuation of the RMB may affect our financial condition by affecting the volume of cross-border money flow.

The value of the RMB fluctuates and is subject to changes in the PRC’s political and economic conditions. Since July 2005, the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies, including USD, has been based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China which are set based upon the interbank foreign exchange market rates and current exchange rates of a basket of currencies on the world financial markets.

Foreign companies conducting operations in the PRC face significant political, economic and legal risks. The communist regime in the PRC may hinder Western investment in the Company.

We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in the PRC.

The PRC historically has been deficient in Western style management and financial reporting concepts and practices, as well as in modern banking, computer and other control systems. We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in the PRC. As a result of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western standards.

The PRC legal system embodies uncertainties, which could limit law enforcement availability.

The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, decided legal cases have little precedence. In 1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation over the past several decades has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investment in China. Our PRC operating subsidiary and affiliate is subject to PRC laws and regulations. However, these laws and regulations change frequently, and the interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. For instance, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce the legal protection that we are entitled to by law or contract. However, since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting statutory and contractual terms, it may be difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative court proceedings and the level of law enforcement that we would receive in more developed legal systems. Such uncertainties, including the inability to enforce our contracts, could affect our business and operation. In addition, confidentiality protections in China may not be as effective as in the United States or other countries. Accordingly, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the PRC legal system, particularly with regard to our business, including the promulgation of new laws. This may include changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could limit the availability of law enforcement, including our ability to enforce our agreements.

Failure to make adequate contributions to various employee benefit plans as required by PRC regulations may subject us to penalties.

Companies operating in China are required to participate in various government sponsored employee benefit plans, including certain social insurance, housing funds and other welfare-oriented payment obligations, and contribute to the plans in amounts equal to certain percentages of salaries, including bonuses and allowances, of employees up to a maximum amount specified by the local government from time to time at locations where they operate their businesses. The requirement of employee benefit plans has not been implemented consistently by the local governments in China given the different levels of economic development in different locations. Our failure in making contributions to various employee benefit plans and in complying with applicable PRC labor-related laws may subject us to late payment penalties. We may be required to make up the contributions for these plans as well as to pay late fees and fines. If we are subject to late fees or fines in relation to the underpaid employee benefits, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.

We are a Cayman Islands holding company and we rely principally on dividends and other distributions on equity from our PRC subsidiaries for our cash requirements, including for servicing any debt we may incur. Our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute dividends is based upon their distributable earnings. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to their respective shareholders only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our PRC subsidiaries are required to set aside at least 10% of their after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of their registered capital. Our PRC subsidiaries, as foreign invested enterprises, or FIEs, are also required to further set aside a portion of their after-tax profit to fund an employee welfare fund, although the amount to be set aside, if any, is determined at their discretion. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. If our PRC subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. Any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to distribute dividends or other payments to their shareholders could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends or otherwise fund and conduct our business.

We base our tax position upon the anticipated nature and conduct of our business and upon our understanding of the tax laws of the various administrative regions and countries in which we have assets or conduct activities. However, our tax position is subject to review and possible challenge by taxing authorities and to possible changes in law, which may have retroactive effect. We cannot determine in advance the extent to which some jurisdictions may require us to pay taxes or make payments in lieu of taxes.

There currently is no trading market for our Ordinary Shares. Our unregistered outstanding Shares cannot be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless subsequently registered pursuant to, or exempt from registration under, the Securities Act and any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations in the United States. These restrictions will limit the ability of certain of our shareholders to liquidate their investment.

A market maker has filed a Form 211 that has been cleared by OTC Corporate Actions. Our Shares are currently trading on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol ZHYBF. It is our intention to seek quotation on the OTCQB at the earliest possible time; however, there can be no assurance that our Ordinary Shares will be approved for trading on the OTCQB or any other trading exchange.

We cannot assure you that a regular public market will ever develop for the Shares or that the Shares will ever be quoted on the OTCQB or any exchange. Furthermore, you will likely not be able to sell your Shares if a regular trading market for our securities does not develop and we cannot predict the extent, if any, to which investor interest will lead to the development of a viable trading market in our Shares. We expect the initial market for our Shares to be limited, if a market develops at all. Even if a limited trading market does develop, there is a risk that the absence of potential buyers will prevent any potential sellers from selling their Shares.

The offering price of our Ordinary Shares was determined based on the price of our private offering and should not be used as an indicator of the future market price of the securities.

TSince here is only very sporadic trading in our Shares are not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system and, the offering price of $1.00 per Share for the Ordinary Shares was determined based on the price of our 2019 Private Offering. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market. The offering price bears no relationship to the book value, assets or earnings of the Company or any other recognized criteria of value. The offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the future market price of the securities

Recent regulatory and enforcement actions by FINRA will make it difficult for investors to dispose of their Ordinary Shares as long as they remain an OTC security.

In response to increased scrutiny and recent regulatory actions by FINRA, many brokers have started to refuse deposits of OTC securities, whether restricted or free trading and regardless of the price at which these securities are traded. As a result, investors may find it increasingly difficult to dispose of their Ordinary Shares.

We may not be able to achieve secondary trading of our Shares in certain states because our Ordinary Shares are not nationally traded, which could subject our shareholders to significant restrictions and costs.

Our Ordinary Shares are not eligible for trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market or on a national securities exchange. Therefore, our Ordinary Shares are subject to the securities laws of the various states and jurisdictions of the United States in addition to federal securities law. While we may register our Ordinary Shares or qualify for exemptions for our Ordinary Shares in one or more states, if we fail to do so the investors in those states where we have not taken such steps may not be allowed to purchase our Shares or those who presently hold our Shares may not be able to resell their Shares without substantial effort and expense. These restrictions and potential costs could be significant burdens on our shareholders.

It is likely that there will be significant volatility in the trading price of our Ordinary Shares.

In the event that a public market for our Ordinary Shares is created or maintained in the future, market prices for the Shares will be influenced by many factors and will be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in operating results of Bao Feng and other factors. Our stock price will also be affected by the trading price of the stock of our competitors, investor perceptions of Bao Feng, interest rates, general economic conditions and those specific to our industry, developments with regard to Bao Feng’s operations and activities, our future financial condition and changes in our management.

The Company’s Ordinary Shares are not quoted and traded in any market or on any exchange, and the price at which the Shares will trade in the future cannot currently be estimated. There can be no assurance that trading will be commenced or sustained, although management intends to take such actions as are necessary to initiate quotation of our Ordinary Shares on the OTCQB. The trading price of the Shares will most likely be below $5.00. If our Shares trade below $5.00 per Share, trading in the Shares may be subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, which require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock (generally, any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions) and a two business day “cooling off period” before broker-dealers can effect transactions in penny stocks. For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. These, and the other burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by the penny stock requirements, could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our Shares, which could severely limit the market liquidity of our Shares and the ability of holders of our Shares to sell them.

We are controlled by Zhong Yuan Investment, whose interests may differ from those of the other shareholders.

As of the date of this filing, Zhong Yuan Investment is the record and beneficial owner of approximately 82.7% of our Ordinary Shares. Zhong Yuan Investment is owned of record by five parties, including Ting Ting Chang, our Chief Executive Officer and director, Fung Ming Pang, our Chief Financial Officer and director and Xianyang Chen, Bao Feng’s Chief Technical Officer. and its Board of Directors consists of Ms. Chang and Ms. Pang. As the only two directors of Zhong Yuan Investment, Ms. Chang and Ms. Pang hold shared voting power over the Shares held by it. Zhong Yuan Investment is in a position to elect the Board of Directors and to control the business and affairs of the Company including significant corporate actions such as mergers and acquisitions, the sale or purchase of assets and the issuance and sale of our securities. The Company also may be prevented from entering into transactions that could be beneficial to the Company's other shareholders. The interest of our largest shareholder may differ from the interests of our other shareholders.

Our principal shareholder may engage in a transaction to cause the Company to repurchase its Ordinary Shares.

In order to provide an interest in the Company to a third party, our principal shareholder may choose to cause the Company to sell its securities to third parties, with the proceeds of such sale being utilized by the Company to repurchase its Ordinary Shares. As a result of such transaction, our management, principal shareholders and Board of Directors may change.

This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements and information relating to us, our industry and other businesses.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus are based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to our management. When used in this Prospectus, the words "estimate," "project," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "expect" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in our forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Prospectus. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act and will take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act and take advantage of certain exemptions from various requirements applicable to other reporting companies that are not emerging growth companies including, most significantly, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for so long as we are an emerging growth company. As a result, if we elect not to comply with such auditor attestation requirements, our investors may not have access to certain information they may deem important.

The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company does not need to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until such date that a private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revised financial accounting standards. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the JOBS Act that allows the Company to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.

Judgments against the Company and management may be difficult to obtain or enforce.

We are organized as an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands, our principal executive offices are located in Hong Kong and we conduct substantially all of our operations in China. Both of our directors and officers reside outside the United States and their assets are located outside of the United States. Outside the United States, it may be difficult for investors to enforce judgments obtained against us in actions brought in the United States, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws. In addition, since both of our officers and directors reside outside the United States, and their assets are located outside the United States, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon them or to enforce against the Company or them judgments predicated upon the liability provisions of United States federal securities laws. There is substantial doubt as to the enforceability against us or our officers and directors in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of United States courts in claims for liability based on the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws.

No treaty exists between Hong Kong or the Cayman Islands and the United States providing for the reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments. However, the courts of Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands are generally prepared to accept a foreign judgment as evidence of a debt due. An action may then be commenced in Hong Kong or the Cayman Islands for recovery of this debt. A Hong Kong or Cayman Islands court will only accept a foreign judgment as evidence of a debt due if:

• the judgment is not, directly or indirectly, for the payment of foreign taxes, penalties, fines or charges of a like nature (in this regard, a Hong Kong court is unlikely to accept a judgment for an amount obtained by doubling, trebling or otherwise multiplying a sum assessed as compensation for the loss or damage sustained by the person in whose favor the judgment was given);

• the foreign court has taken jurisdiction on grounds that are recognized by the common law rules as to conflict of laws in Hong Kong or the Cayman Islands;

• the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were not contrary to natural justice (i.e., the concept of fair adjudication);

• the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained, the judgment itself and the enforcement of the judgment are not contrary to the public policy of Hong Kong or the Cayman Islands;

• the person against whom the judgment is given is subject to the jurisdiction of a foreign court; and

• the judgment is not on a claim for contribution in respect of damages awarded by a judgment, which fall under Section 7 of the Protection of Trading Interests Ordinance, Chapter 7 of the Laws of Hong Kong.

Enforcement of a foreign judgment in Hong Kong or the Cayman Islands may also be limited or affected by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, arrangement and moratorium, or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and will be subject to a statutory limitation of time within which proceedings may be brought.

The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under PRC Civil Procedure Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of PRC Civil Procedure Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other form of reciprocity with the United States or the Cayman Islands that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedure Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States or in the Cayman Islands.

Because we are incorporated in the Cayman Islands, you may not have the same protections as shareholders of U.S. corporations.

We are organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Principles of law relating to matters affecting the validity of corporate procedures, the fiduciary duties of our management, directors and controlling shareholder and the rights of our shareholders differ from, and may not be as protective of shareholders as, those that would apply if we were incorporated in a jurisdiction within the United States. Our directors have the power to take certain actions without shareholder approval, including approving certain fundamental corporate transactions, such as reorganizations and the sale or transfer of assets. In addition, there is doubt that the courts of the Cayman Islands would enforce liabilities predicated upon United States federal securities laws.

Our shareholders do not have the same protections or information generally available to shareholders of U.S. corporations because the reporting requirements for foreign private issuers are more limited than those applicable to public corporations organized in the United States.

We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. We are not subject to certain provisions of the Exchange Act applicable to United States public companies, including: the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K, the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations with respect to a security registered under the Exchange Act and the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and establishing insider liability for profits realized from any “short-swing” trading transaction (i.e., a purchase and sale, or sale and purchase, of the issuer’s equity securities within six months or less). Because we are not subject to these rules, our shareholders are not afforded the same protections or information generally available to investors in public companies organized in the United States.

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Ordinary Shares by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to this Prospectus. All proceeds from the sale of the Shares will be for the account of the Selling Shareholders. The Selling Shareholders may sell these Shares in the open market or otherwise, at $1.00 a share, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price or at negotiated prices.

The Selling Shareholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Shareholders for brokerage or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Shareholders in disposing of the Shares included in this Prospectus. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the Shares covered by this Prospectus, including all registration and filing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and accountants.

Since there has been no trading market for our Ordinary Shares, the offering price of the Shares was determined by the price of the Ordinary Shares that were sold to our security holders in the 2019 Private Offering pursuant to an exemption under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, which per Share price has been adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split.

Once the Ordinary Shares are quoted on the OTCQB or higher market, of which there can be no assurance, the prices at which the Shares covered by this Prospectus may actually be sold will be determined by the prevailing public market price for the Ordinary Shares, by negotiations between the Selling Shareholders and buyers of our Shares in private transactions or as otherwise described in “Plan of Distribution.”

The offering price of the Ordinary Shares does not necessarily bear any relationship to market value, our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value. Accordingly, the offering price should not be considered an indication of the actual value of the Shares.

Our Ordinary Shares are currently trading on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol ZHYBF.

As of March 31, 2021, there were 86 shareholders of record of our Ordinary Shares and 17,145,000 Ordinary Shares outstanding. Of the 17,145,000 Shares outstanding, 2,236,192 Shares are being registered by Selling Shareholders.

During the past three years, we have issued the following securities. We believe that each of the following issuances was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act regarding transactions not involving a public offering and/or Regulation S promulgated thereunder regarding offshore offers and sales.

Effective August 21, 2018, the Company (the “Delaware Company”) was redomiciled from Delaware to the Cayman Islands by merging into its wholly-owned Cayman Islands subsidiary, Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology Holdings Limited (the “Cayman Company”). Pursuant to the merger, the Cayman Company issued 850,000 Ordinary Shares (post Reverse Stock Split) to the shareholders of the Delaware Company in exchange for all of their shares in the Delaware Company.

On August 31, 2019, the Company closed on the Share Exchange. Pursuant to the Share Exchange, the Company issued 16,150,000 Ordinary Shares (post Reverse Stock Split) to Zhong Yuan Investment Limited (“Zhong Yuan Investment”) in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of China Bio-Technology Holdings Limited (“China Bio”).

On December 13, 2019, the Company issued an aggregate of 145,000 Ordinary Shares (post Reverse Stock Split), at a purchase price of $1.00 per Share (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split), pursuant to a private offering of its securities. The sales of the Ordinary Shares were exempt from registration under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. In accordance with Regulation S, the Shares were offered and sold solely outside the United States to investors who are not U.S. persons, as defined in Regulation S.

On November 17, 2020, the Company sold 50,000 Ordinary Shares (post Reverse Stock Split), at a purchase price of $1.00 per Share, pursuant to a private securities offering conducted and exempt from registration under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. In accordance with Regulation S, the Shares were offered and sold solely outside the United States to an investor who is not a U.S. person, as defined in Regulation S.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends to our shareholders, and we do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to reinvest any earnings in developing and expanding our business. Any future determination relating to our dividend policy will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on a number of factors, including future earnings, our financial condition, operating results, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects, our strategic goals and plans to expand our business, applicable law and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Under Cayman Islands law, dividends may be declared and paid only out of funds legally available therefor, namely out of either profit or our share premium account, and provided further that a dividend may not be paid if this would result in the Company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

(See “Risk Factors – Risks Related to our Business - We have never paid dividends on our Shares.”)

The Company was originally incorporated in Delaware as “Agate Island Acquisition Corporation” on April 4, 2016 to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. On March 13, 2017, the Company’s name was changed to China Biotech Holdings Limited in anticipation of entering into a transaction with a company in China engaged in the Biopharma or Biotech industry. Effective August 21, 2018, the Company was redomiciled from Delaware to the Cayman Islands by merging into its wholly-owned Cayman Islands subsidiary, Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology Holdings Limited (the “Redomicile Merger”). As a result of the Redomicile Merger, the Company’s name was changed to Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology Holdings Limited.

On August 31, 2019, the Company closed on a Share Exchange Agreement with Zhong Yuan Investment whereby the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of China Bio in exchange for the issuance of our ordinary shares to Zhong Yuan Investment. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, China Bio became our wholly owned subsidiary and Zhong Yuan Investment became the owner of approximately 952% of our then outstanding Shares.

Immediately prior to the Share Exchange, the Company was a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) with nominal assets and no business operations. The acquisition of China Bio by the Company will be accounted for as a reverse merger because on a post-merger basis, the former shareholder of China Bio held a majority of our outstanding ordinary shares on a voting and fully diluted basis. As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company is engaged in the business of developing and marketing nervonic acid-based health supplements and sales of acer truncatum seedlings through its sole operating subsidiary, Bao Feng, and management of the Company believes that the Company is no longer a shell company. Also as a result of the Share Exchange, the Company changed its fiscal year end from December 31 to March 31. Bao Feng was incorporated under the laws of the PRC on August 30, 2012.

On December 13, 2019, the Company closed on the sale of 1,450,000 Ordinary Shares, at a purchase price of $0.10 per Share, pursuant to the 2019 Private Offering, which was conducted under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. In accordance with Regulation S, the Shares were offered and sold solely outside the United States to investors who are not U.S. persons, as defined in Regulation S.

On July 24, 2020, the Company completed a one-for-ten reverse stock split of the Company’s Ordinary Shares. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the authorized share capital of the Company was decreased from 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares with a par value of US$0.0001 each to 50,000,000 Ordinary Shares with a par value of US$0.001 each, and the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares was decreased from 171,450,000 Shares to 17,145,000 Shares.

On November 17, 2020, the Company acquired 25,000 of its Ordinary Shares (post Reverse Stock Split) from one of the shareholders of the Company. The Shares were acquired for no consideration; however, the Company paid the shareholder’s expenses related to the transaction in the amount of $25,000. These Shares were thereafter cancelled.

On November 18, 2020, the Company acquired 25,000 of its Ordinary Shares (post Reverse Stock Split) from one of the shareholders of the Company. The Shares were acquired for no consideration; however, the Company paid the shareholder’s expenses related to the transaction in the amount of $25,000. These Shares were thereafter cancelled.

On December 31, 2020, Bao Feng completed its acquisition of a 100% equity interest in Dandong BF from Yu Chang, the record owner of 41.6% of the outstanding shares of Zhong Yuan Investment and Ting-ting Chang’s father, our CEO and director for a total consideration of RMB10,500,000 (approximately $1,500,000). A deposit of RMB3,160,000 (approximately $465,460 as of September 30, 2020) was paid upon signing of the Equity Transfer Agreement on March 1, 2020. The balance of RMB7,340,000 (approximately $1,082,000 as of September 30, 2020) was settled by offsetting the amounts due from related companies of which Yu Chang is the owner and director. Dandong BF was incorporated in the PRC on March 11, 2019 and is principally engaged in the research, development and growing of Acer Truncatum seeds in Dandong city, Liaoning Province, in the north-eastern region of the PRC. Dandong BF has approximately 3,000,000 acer truncatum trees that are grown on land that is subject to 10-year leases that commenced on January 1, 2019 and terminate on December 31, 2028. This acquisition could allow the Company to control the supply and ensure the quality of its acer truncatum seeds and seedlings, the important raw material of nervonic acid.

Bao Feng’s business has been and may continue to be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic in China. Bao Feng is located in China, as are all of its employees, suppliers, product manufacturers, distributors and customers. Although Bao Feng’s online sales were not significantly affected by the epidemic, its total sales decreased by approximately 60.7% from RMB3,863,441 (approximately US$544,147) during the three months ended March 31, 2019 to RMB1,520,125 (approximately US$214,102) for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Its production capacity was significantly reduced due to the government lockdown and orders were filled through existing inventory. In addition, Bao Feng’s planned business expansion has been delayed due to travel restrictions and other factors, the planting of acer truncatum seedlings has had to be postponed for a year and the company has been unable to work towards expanding its distribution network.

The potential downturn brought by and the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak is difficult to assess or predict and the full impact of the virus on our operations will depend on many factors beyond our control. A resurgence of the epidemic in China could be expected to negatively impact our operations in much the way as the first occurrence of the epidemic. In addition, our business operations could be disrupted again if any of our employees, or those of our product manufacturers, is suspected of contracting COVID-19, since our or their employees could be quarantined and/or our or their facilities be shut down for disinfection. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition remains uncertain. Our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects could be materially adversely affected to the extent that COVID-19 persists in China or harms the Chinese and global economy.

For purposes of the following discussion and analysis, references to ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘our’’ and ‘‘us’’ refers to Bao Feng.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.

The Company generated $664,093 of revenue for the six-month period ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $756,063 for the comparable period in the prior year. Revenue decreased by $91,970 or 12.2%, because of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic that affected our overall sales of our products through distributors.

The cost of sales was $201,356 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2020 whereas the cost of sales was $170,280 for the comparable period in 2019. The increase in cost of sales by $31,076 or 18.2% over the comparable period was mainly attributable to the higher production cost of products in 2020 that resulted from inefficiencies in the manufacturing process during the COVID-19 pandemic period.

Gross profit for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $462,737 and $585,783 respectively. Gross profit margin for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was 69.7% and 77.5% respectively. The decrease in gross profit margin from 77.5% in 2019 to 69.7% in 2020 resulted from the higher production cost of products during the COVID-19 pandemic period.

During the six-month period ended September 30, 2020, we incurred operating expenses of $662,351, as compared to $435,283 incurred during the six-month period ended September 30, 2019. Total operating expenses increased by $227,068 or 52.2%, mainly because of the increase in research and development expenses and selling and marketing expenses over 2019.

Research and development expenses increased significantly from $48,109 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2019 to $114,109 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2020. The increase of $66,000 or 137.2% over 2019 was mainly attributable to the expenses and fees incurred for patent registrations and expenses incurred in collaboration with hospitals for developing nervonic acid based herbal and chemical medicines.

Selling and marketing expenses increased by $178,415 or 158.0% from $112,890 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2019 to $291,305 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2020. The increase was mainly due to the increase in promotional expenses during the COVID-19 pandemic period.

For the six-month period ended September 30, 2020, the Company had a net loss of $197,137, as compared to net income of $147,828 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in net income by $344,965 or 233.4% over the period was mainly due to the decrease in gross profit of $123,046 and the increase in total operating expenses of $227,068 over the period.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash of $5,680; total current assets of $1,477,596 and total current liabilities of $754,818. Net current assets were $722,778 and working capital ratio was 1.96. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s total assets and total liabilities amounted to $2,907,509 and $1,611,088, respectively. The Company’s total assets include the amounts due from related companies, of which Yu Chang is the owner and director, of $1,025,649 and a deposit for the acquisition of a 100% interest in Dandong BF of $465,468 (see “Related Party Transactions” disclosed below). The Company had shareholders’ equity of $1,296,421 and short-term loan of $558,488 as of September 30, 2020. The gearing ratio is 0.43.

The Company generated $1,219,650 of net revenue for the year ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $1,217,588 for the year ended March 31, 2019. Net revenue increased by $2,062 or 0.2% as a result of an increase in our sale channels during the year.

The cost of sales was $257,034 for the year ended March 31, 2020 whereas the cost of sales was $320,836 for the year ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in cost of sales by $63,802 or 19.9% over the prior year was mainly attributable to the increase in sales of high margin health products in 2020.

Gross profit for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $962,616 and $896,752, respectively. Gross profit margin for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was 78.9% and 73.6% respectively. The increase in gross profit margin from 73.6% in 2019 to 78.9% in 2020 resulted from the increase in sales of high margin health products in 2020.

During the year ended March 31, 2020, we incurred operating expenses of $1,048,125, as compared to $584,616 incurred during the year ended March 31, 2019. Operating expenses are comprised of general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses and selling and marketing expenses.

For the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company had a net loss of $87,299, as compared to net income of $280,183 for the year ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in net income by $367,482 or 131.2% was mainly due to the $463,509 increase in total operating expenses discussed above.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had cash at banks of $60,790, total current assets of $1,529,238 and total current liabilities of $628,681. Net current assets were $900,557 and its working capital ratio was 2.43. As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s total assets and total liabilities amounted to $2,279,457 and $799,647, respectively. The Company had shareholders’ equity of $1,479,810, whereas it had one-year bank loans of $460,030. The Company’s gearing ratio was 0.31.

The following is a summary of the Company's cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

The Company generated $1,217,588 of net revenue for the year ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $Nil for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in net revenue was due to the acquisition on August 31, 2019 of China Bio as a result of which the Company ceased being a shell company. Since the results of operations of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2019 have been prepared on a consolidated basis, they include the revenue of Bao Feng, which became a subsidiary of the Company as a result of the acquisition of China Bio.

The cost of sales was $320,836 for the year ended March 31, 2019 whereas the cost of sales was $Nil for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in cost of sales was attributable to the acquisition of China Bio during the year ended March 31, 2019, as a result of which the results of operations of the Company for that fiscal year were prepared on a consolidated basis .

Gross profit for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $896,752 and $Nil, respectively. The increase in gross profit resulted from the above-described increase in revenue during the fiscal year that resulted from the acquisition of China Bio.

During the year ended March 31, 2019, we incurred operating expenses of $584,616 compared to $50,156 incurred during the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in operating expenses was mainly attributable to legal and professional fees incurred with regard to the Share Exchange as well as the inclusion of the operating expenses of Bao Feng.

The Company can provide no assurance that it can continue to satisfy its cash requirements for the next twelve months.

The following is a summary of the Company's cash flows provided by (used in) operating and financing activities for the years ended March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018.

The Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that had or were reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that was material to investors.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of China Bio-Technology Holdings Limited (our acquiree pursuant to the Share Exchange) appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.

China Bio’s revenue increased by $958,047, or 369%, from $259,541 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 to $1,217,588 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. This increase was primarily the result of increased distribution channels. The company conducts business operations solely through its subsidiary, Bao Feng, in the PRC.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 73.6% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, as compared to 75.1% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The similar level of gross margin was primarily the result of having the same cost structure for the two years.

Operating income/(loss) increased by $714,187, or 177.6%, from a loss of $402,051 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 to income of $312,136 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. This increase was primarily due to the significant increase in revenue, as well as a 6.9% decrease in general and administrative expenses, which resulted from increased efficiency as employees gained operational experience.

As a result of the factors described above, consolidated net income increased from a net loss of $388,607 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 to net income of $280,183 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, an increase in income of $668,790.

Other income, net decreased approximately $29,485 or 219.3% from net income of $13,444 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 to net expenses of $16,041 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily the result of a 98.1% decrease in other income, which resulted from the cessation in 2019 of sales of a book, Chinese Acer Truncatum, which produced other income in 2018, and a 717.4% increase in interest expense, which resulted from loans made to the company by a director.

China Bio does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

During the year ended March 31, 2019, $343,335 net cash was provided by operating activities, $342,706 was used in investing activities and $2,856 was used in financing activities. The resulting increase in cash for the year was $4,429. The cash and cash equivalents balance on March 31, 2019 was $5,377.

As of March 31, 2019, China Bio had $423,647 in total liabilities, which was primarily comprised of short-term loans of $206,070 and accrued expenses and other payables of $150,181.

The Company was originally incorporated under the name “Agate Island Acquisition Corporation” on April 4, 2016 under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. Until the Share Exchange, the business purpose of the Company was to seek the acquisition of, or merger with, an existing company.

On August 31, 2019, the Company closed on a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) with Zhong Yuan Investment, a Seychelles company limited by shares. Prior to the exchange, Zhong Yuan Investment owned 100% of the shares of China Bio, a company organized under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles. Under the Share Exchange Agreement, Zhong Yuan Investment exchanged all of the shares that it held in China Bio for 161,500,000 Ordinary Shares of the Company. As a result of the Share Exchange, China Bio is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the acquisition, the Company, through its subsidiaries, is engaged in the business of developing and marketing nervonic acid-based health supplements and sales of acer truncatum seedlings.

On December 13, 2019, the Company closed on the sale of 1,450,000 Ordinary Shares, at a purchase price of $0.10 per Share, pursuant to the 2019 Private Offering conducted under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. In accordance with Regulation S, the Shares were offered and sold solely outside the United States to investors who are not U.S. persons, as defined in Regulation S.

On July 24, 2020, the Company completed a one-for-ten reverse stock split of the Company’s Ordinary Shares. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the authorized share capital of the Company was decreased to 50,000,000 Ordinary Shares with a par value of US$0.001 each, and the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares was decreased to 17,145,000 Shares.

The following chart sets forth our corporate structure immediately following the Share Exchange.

China Bio-Technology Holdings Limited (“China Bio”) was incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles on June 27, 2016 under the name Hua Hong Powerloop Technology Limited. On February 13, 2017, its name was changed to China Bio-Technology Limited, and on March 6, 2017 it was changed to China Bio-Technology Holdings Limited. It became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company in August 2019 as a result of the Share Exchange described above.

Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology (Hong Kong) Limited (“Zhong Yuan-HK”) was incorporated in Hong Kong on June 13, 2016. The original shareholders transferred all of the shares to China Bio on February 27, 2017.

Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology (Shenzhen) Limited (“Zhong Yuan-SZ”) was established under the laws of the PRC on June 10, 2014. The original shareholders transferred all of the shares to Zhong Yuan-HK on September 27, 2018.

Bao Feng Bio-Technology (Beijing) Limited (“Bao Feng)” was incorporated in the PRC on August 30, 2012 under the name Beijing Acer Truncatum Century Agricultural Science and Technology Co., Ltd. On August 10, 2017, the company’s name was changed to Bao Feng Bio-Technology (Beijing) Limited. It became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zhong Yuan-SZ on February 13, 2019. Bao Feng is the Company’s primary operating subsidiary.

Dandong Bao Feng Seedling Technology Co., Limited (“Dandong BF”) was incorporated in the PRC on March 11, 2019. Bao Feng completed its acquisition of a 100% equity interest in Dandong BF on December 31, 2020.

Bao Feng is in the business of nervonic acid research, the development of nervonic acid based herbal and chemical drugs and the sale of health supplements containing nervonic acid. Nervonic acid is a long chain unsaturated omega 9 fatty acid that is an important component in myelin biosynthesis in the central and peripheral nervous system. Myelin insulates nerve cell axons to increase the speed at which information (encoded as an electrical signal) travels from one nerve cell body to another or from a nerve cell to another type of cell in the body. It is thought that nervonic acid may enhance brain function and prevent demyelination of nerve cells, and that, therefore, it may be effective in retaining or improving the health of the brain, for example in preventing or ameliorating attention-deficit hyperactive disorder (“ADHD”) in children, Alzheimer's disease and mental degradation in the elderly and cerebrovascular disease, as well as promoting normal brain development in premature infants. The role of nervonic acid is also being studied with respect to psychotic illnesses, such as schizophrenia.

Nervonic acid is not present in many foods. Since it is considered to be an important biomarker for many neurological diseases, such as ADHD in children and neurodegenerative diseases in the elderly, it is in high demand among those populations. The price of nervonic acid in the world market ranges from approximately $2,000 to approximately $6,000 per kilogram, depending on the purity.

Bao Feng’s marketing efforts are primarily aimed at the elderly population. The problem of the aging of the world population is becoming more and more serious. According to the "2015 global aging cause" report, the world's 60 and over population is about 901 million, or 12.3% of the world's population. By 2030, this proportion is expected to reach 16.5%, or approximately 1 billion, 200 million people. According to China’s social security network data, the-over 60-year-old Chinese population will reach 250 million in 2020, of which the neurodegenerative disease population will account for 5%, or more than 10 million.

In the past, nervonic acid was derived from the brains of sharks. However, the extraction process from that source is difficult and the cost is too high for commercialization. In addition, sharks are protected by the United Nations and many countries in the world. Another good source of nervonic acid is the malania oleifera plant, which is native to southern China. That plant is said to have up to 40.9% to 50% nervonic acid; however, it is a threatened species in the world and is on the list of key wild plants for state protection. It was also found that the dried seeds of the acer truncatum tree, which is a type of maple native to northern China, Mongolia and Korea, contain 5.8% nervonic acid. Therefore, the seed oil is considered to be a good source of natural nervonic acid, as well as other compounds such as Vitamin E.

The table below contains a list of natural plant and animal sources of nervonic acid, with nervonic acid content shown in milligrams/100 grams.

China’s over-60 population has reached 249 million, approximately 49.7% of which have some form of white matter lesions, including Alzheimer’s disease, brain atrophy and other diseases. This prevalence rate increases to almost 100% in the over-80 Chinese population. In addition, in 2015 the World Health Organization estimated that 28% of the social burden imposed on societies by diseases was attributable to brain disorders. With China's aging trend accelerating, Alzheimer's disease will be increasingly re-regulated by the government and the biomedical community. In addition, according to incomplete statistics, the incidence of cerebral palsy in China accounted for 1.84% of the population and 2.23% of mentally retarded children. A thousand new cases of encephalopathy occur every year, and 75% of them are fatal or disabling. The market for prevention and treatment of brain diseases in China alone is estimated at over US $100 billion. (Advances in Pathology and Pathogenesis of WMLs / Fucheng Hou & Mei Yin / Journal of Clinical Neurology / 31. 2018 (04): 310-313.)

When Bao Feng was formed in 2012, its management was aware of only three major competitors engaged in nervonic acid biotechnology, making Bao Feng one of the first enterprises specializing in the production and application of nervonic acid in China. Our team of scientists has over 30 years combined experience in the field of acer truncatum tree research, and more than 10 years in nervonic acid applications. In addition, Bao Feng achieved the National High-Tech Enterprise Award in 2017.This award recognizes the continuous research and development and the transformation of technological achievements in the high-tech fields supported by the state, forming the core independent intellectual property rights of the enterprise, and the carrying on of business activities on this basis in China (not including resident enterprises registered in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) for more than one year.

Bao Feng’s business is centered around lipids, especially nervonic acid, and their structural compounds as a means to screen for and intervene in diseases of the nervous system such as cognitive disorders, white matter atrophy and stroke. Nervonic acid, which falls within the fatty acid category of lipids, comprises up to 35% of the long chain fatty acids in the myelin sheath surrounding the nerve fibers and is, therefore, necessary for the repair of nerve degeneration and injury. Ideally, there is a balance between the breakdown of the myelin sheath around a nerve fiber, which serves as an insulator and allows faster transmission of electrical impulses, and its regeneration utilizing nervonic acid. However, due to the length of the fatty acid chain, the body’s efficiency in synthesizing nervonic acid is low. Studies have shown a correlation between the level of nervonic acid and such diseases as Alzheimer’s disease (Song et al., 2018; Vozella, Basit, Misto & Piomelli, 2017), multiple sclerosis (Tanaka, Shimizu, Ohtsuka, Kamashiro & Oshida, 2007), schizophrenia (Amminger et al, 2012), attention deficit disorder in children (Chen et al., 2011) and recurrent depression (Johanna et al., 2010), as well as premature versus full-term infants.

Bao Feng has participated in numerous studies, using metabolomics, mass spectrometry, artificial intelligence and big data mining technology, that have found a high correlation between nervonic acid deficiency and cognitive impairment, neuromyelitis and multiple sclerosis, confirming that nervonic acid is a core marker for leukoencephalopathy (brain white matter diseases).

China Medical University. Bao Feng has conducted numerous academic and scientific research projects in cooperation with China Medical University, the first top-tier medical institution established in China. In 2017, China Medical University established the Research Center of Plateau Medicine, for which Dr. Xianyang Chen, Bao Feng’s Chief Technical Officer, served as deputy director of the academic department, to carry out systematic research on cerebral hypoxia. Bao Feng and the Research Center of Plateau Medicine have jointly conducted numerous research projects for which the results have been published, including ‘research on the biological process and molecular mechanism of nervonic acid participating in brain hypoxia nerve repair,’ ‘clinical research on the alleviation of high altitude hypoxia brain injury by nervonic acid,’ and ‘research on the mechanism of nervonic acid treating neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in plateau area.’ In 2018, the ‘Demonstration Meeting of High Altitude Medical Research Center’ was called to demonstrate the effect of nervonic acid on alleviating brain nerve injury caused by high altitude hypobaric hypoxia and on alleviating nerve injury of pregnant women and infants caused by high altitude hypobaric hypoxia, as well as the use of nervonic acid in the development of new drugs for alleviating cognitive impairment. The Research Center of Plateau Medicine and Bao Feng are currently jointly conducting research on the repair effect of nervonic acid on demyelinating loss caused by hypoxia.

Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University. Xuanwu Hospital is a pre-eminent general hospital in both Geriatrics and neuroscience. Bao Feng has participated in the following research projects in cooperation with the National Clinical Research Center for Geriatric Disorders of Xuanwu Hospital: (i) research on nervonic acid as a biomarker for nervous system diseases (the world's innovation technology); (ii) clinical research on the effectiveness of nervonic acid on nervous system diseases; and (iii) research on the metabolism of the nervous system data analysis and processing system. Among them, Bao Feng, which holds the relevant patents, had primary responsibility for providing the experiment technology and data analysis; Xuanwu Hospital National Geriatric Disease Clinical Research Center has primary responsibility for clinical trial design, sample case collection and clinical effect evaluation.

Bao Feng is about to sign a contract with Xuanwu Hospital to establish a scientific research project on "White Matter and Parkinson's Disease Markers Verification Research and Drug Development." This cooperative project aims to verify the effectiveness of molecular markers and their combinations for leukoencephalopathy and Parkinson's Disease. based on the marker molecules, The project will also involve research and development of plant extracts and small chemical molecules of drug efficacy.

We extract the nervonic acid utilized in our products from the seeds of acer truncatum trees. Our seeds are supplied by the Weng Niu Te Qi District government farm in Inner Mongolia, which contains approximately 70,000 mu of wild 100-year old acer truncatum trees. In March 2017, Bao Feng entered into a cooperation agreement with the Weng Niu Te Qi District under which Bao Feng is to provide the seedlings for an additional 10,000 mu of acer truncatum trees and the government farm will provide the land and plant and maintain the seedlings. The government farm harvests the seeds, which are currently estimated to be approximately 400,000 tons per year, and Bao Feng has the exclusive right to purchase the seeds from both the old and the new trees.

In addition, on December 31, 2020, Bao Feng closed on the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Dandong BF, a PRC corporation that is principally engaged in the research, development and growing of acer truncatum seeds in Dandong city, Liaoning Province, in the northeastern region of the PRC. Dandong BF’s assets include approximately 3,000,000 acer truncatum trees The sole shareholder of Dandong BF was Yu Chang, the record owner of 41.6% of the outstanding shares of Zhong Yuan Investment and Ting Ting Chang’s father.

Bao Feng’s breeding base of seedlings results from agricultural technology developed by scientists under contract with Bao Feng. The concentration of nervonic acid from young trees is significantly lower than that from older trees. Our breeding base serves as a strategic reserve for the supply of raw materials for non-high-content nervonic acid products. Low levels of nervonic acid are used for daily supplements, medium levels for health care and high levels for future use in medicine and therapy. As the young trees mature, the concentration of nervonic acid in the seeds of those trees will increase. Therefore, our breeding base is an important part of Bao Feng’s strategy for corporate sustainability.

The nervonic acid is extracted from the acer truncatum seeds and our products are produced by Inner Mongolia Xingyuan Vegetable Oil Co., Ltd., located in Mongolia, and by Heze Zonghoo Jianyuan Biotech Co., Ltd., which is located in Shandong Province, China, under contract with Bao Feng. Under the agreements, Bao Feng provides the acer truncatum seeds, the extraction technology and the formula for producing the products, while the other party extracts the nervonic acid from the seeds, provides the other raw materials and manufactures and packages the finished products in accordance with the specifications of Bao Feng.

Our main products are nervonic acid series of supplements, marketed under the “Muzhiyuan-Neuro Enhancer" brand, and high-quality seedlings specially cultivated by Bao Feng. Our nervonic acid products are 100% organic.

There are 12 kinds of fatty acids in NEURO ENHANCER nervonic acid oil, more than 90% of which are unsaturated fatty acids.

The formula was determined based on expert recommendations and preliminary clinical trials, and it contains a complex combination of neurotrophic agents which is prospectively designed and innovative. In addition, the product tastes good and the active ingredients are easy to absorb.

In cooperation with Xingyan Wang, who is China’s leading economic forest expert, a professor at Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University and also the founder and pioneer of the acer truncatum industry in China, Bao Feng culminated more than 30 years, combined, of biological engineering research by successfully cultivating high-quality acer truncatum seedlings with strong stress resistance, stable quality and a wide range of adaptability. The company markets these seedlings to the PRC government, landscaping companies and individuals; however, the Company has not derived significant revenue from this product for the last few years.

Distribution Agreement with Medical Nutrition Research and Development Enterprise of America

Bao Feng has entered into a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Medical Nutrition Research and Development Enterprise of America (“MNRDEA”), an American health product company, under which Bao Feng serves as the exclusive distributor in China of MNRDEA’s products. The initial term of the Distribution Agreement expires on September 1, 2021 and will automatically renew unless terminated by either party. Currently, the only product purchased and sold by Bao Feng pursuant to the Distribution Agreement is the AcerAcid Neuro Enhancer capsule described above. Under the Distribution Agreement, Bao Feng purchases the finished product from MNRDEA at a set price and is responsible for storing and transporting the product within the PRC in such a way as to not negatively affect the quality of the product. Bao Feng also must meet certain minimum annual performance requirements. Bao Feng is responsible for maintaining the product in good condition after delivery by MNRDEA and is obligated to market and sell the product in its original, unaltered packaging and under trademarks owned by MNRDEA. Management expects that the Distribution Agreement will renew at the end of its initial term.

We have accumulated certain data and patents in recent years of research and development and clinical practice, which confirm that nervonic acid is one of the important biomarkers for a series of brain diseases. We also have developed a novel method for detecting nervonic acid using LC-MS in serum or cerebrospinal fluid. We are in the process of developing the following early screening kits for brain diseases in an attempt to promote early detection:

Bao Feng has improved its purification process so as to produce high (medical) grade nervonic acid in the laboratory and is currently working on building factories in order to achieve mass production. The next step will be the development of pharmaceutical products or the sale of raw materials for nervonic acid products in China and abroad.

Based on our findings about pharmacodynamic molecules in the body and the structures that can cross the blood-brain barrier after supplementation with Acer truncatum seed oil, we obtained a patent titled “A biomarker for the pharmaceutical effect of nervonic acid from Acer truncatum seed oil and its medicinal application.” The patent was authorized by the National Patent Office in only 61 working days due to its originality and huge market potential. This discovery - that a structural compound of nervonic acid could be used as a marker - laid the foundation for the development of a nervonic acid medicine. It also proved the effectiveness of nervonic acid products produced by Bao Feng for future disease interventions.

This research and patent are significant because they lay a theoretical foundation for Acer truncatum as a Chinese traditional medicine in that they prove the effect and molecular markers in vivo for Acer Truncatum seed oil supplementation, which is central for a traditional Chinese medicine judgement. Recently, we have started the application process, and we expect to complete the identification of Acer truncatum as a local standard for Chinese medicinal materials within a year. In the meantime, we have also started the application for China's innovative botanicals. To date, botanical extracts have been obtained through the supercritical extraction scheme, and preliminary efficacy research in mice has been completed. The pre-clinical approval work is expected to be completed within a year.

We also found that biomarkers for diagnosis of cognitive impairment were nervonic acid-like molecules. This discovery has been patented as "Biomarker for diagnosing cognitive impairment and its application." Based on the innovation and market value of the patent, the National Patent Office completed the authorization of this patent within 56 working days. The significance of this study and patent is that we have found that nervonic acid-like molecules can indicate cognitive impairment, especially demyelinating Alzheimer's disease, and can serve as a target molecule for our chemical drugs. A series of modified molecules based on nervonic acid-like biomarkers are being used in a pre-clinical study for a potential new drug. The discovery that nervonic acid structural compounds can be used as core markers of neurological diseases is of great significance in the development of chemical drugs. It also can be used as a detection method in the development of screening kits.

We have found that supplementation of Acer truncatum seed oil can regulate intestinal flora, and significant regulatory effects were observed on changes of Lactobacillus, Bacteroides, etc. We have protected future medical applications of this discovery through our patent titled "Application of Acer truncatum seed oil in preparation of drugs for regulating intestinal flora." Our research in this area found that after taking nervonic acid oil, the abundance of Firmicobacterium, which increases with Alzheimer's disease, showed a downward trend, while the abundance of Bacteroidetes, which decreases with Alzheimer's disease, showed an upward trend. Therefore, we believe that taking nervonic acid oil may help to improve Alzheimer's disease.

In the future, the company aims to achieve full coverage of products in the fields of food, health care products and medicine, and become the preeminent brand for brain health supplements.

To date, the company's promotion strategy has been mainly offline, supplemented by online. It has relied heavily on off-line word-of-mouth publicity. For example, a small number of clinical trials were conducted with elderly people in Yanda Hospital (Class A) to test the effectiveness of the products, following which the products were sold in the nursing home channel.

However, Bao Feng currently has 40 agents to distribute its products throughout China. Bao Feng’s main sales channels currently are:

We market and sell our products both to individuals and to wholesale and retail outlets in China. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, sales revenue from three major customers was RMB4,626,389 (approximately US$664,349), or approximately 55% of the Company’s total sales for the year. No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues during the year.

Nervonic acid. We obtain acer truncatum seeds, from which we extract nervonic acid, from the Inner Mongolia government farm and individual farmers, with whom we have cooperation agreements, and from large suppliers. We are not dependent on any individual suppliers.

It normally takes five to six years to get seeds from an acer truncatum tree. Our company’s unique variety of acer truncatum, developed with our proprietary technology, has a higher yield than other kinds of acer truncatum trees and a shorter time to maturity, normally three to four years, which result in increased production of nervonic acid.

Acer truncatum seedlings. Our acer truncatum seedlings are grown under long-term cooperation agreements with the PRC government and others, to ensure the stability of our supply of seedlings.

In order to control and insure the quality of its acer truncatum seeds and seedlings, on December 31, 2020, Bao Feng closed on the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Dandong BF, a PRC corporation, for a total purchase price of RMB10,500,000 (approximately $1,482,600). Dandong BF is principally engaged in the research, development and growing of acer truncatum seeds in Dandong city, Liaoning Province, in the northeastern region of the PRC. Dandong BF’s assets include approximately 3,000,000 acer truncatum trees that are grown on land that is subject to 10-year leases that commenced on January 1, 2019 and terminate on December 31, 2028. The rent under the leases is RMB1,412,634 (US$103,550) per the 10-year term. Management expects that the leases will be renewed at the expiration of their term. The sole shareholder of Dandong BF was Yu Chang, the record owner of 41.6% of the outstanding shares of Zhong Yuan Investment and Ting Ting Chang’s father.

Nervonic acid. Nervonic acid product sales are not seasonal. The amount of sales is stable throughout the year, except for increased sales during the holidays.

Acer truncatum seedlings. Seedling sales are normally higher during the periods from February to April and November to December due to the growth characteristics of the acer truncatum tree.

The nervonic acid health product industry is in its early stages; therefore, Bao Feng does not face as much competition as it would in a more established industry. However, as more companies enter the market the competition may be expected to become more intense. Management of Bao Feng plans to preempt the effect of such competition by (i) increasing its acer truncatum production; (ii) increasing its investment in research and development; and (iii) enhancing its purification of nervonic acid technology to enter the medical usage market. We will also continue to emphasize marketing in an effort to maintain and strengthen the company’s position in the nervonic acid health product market and will attempt to build the leading nervonic acid health product brand in China.

Currently, Bao Feng’s main competitors in the nervonic acid products market in China are:

At present, these companies are still in the early stage of industrial development. They obtained raw materials of acer truncatum seed oil and initially processed it into products for sale in the market at prices similar to Bao Feng’s, but the content of nervonic acid is about 4%-5% on average, while the content of nervonic acid produced by Bao Feng can reach 6.89%.

Bao Feng leases approximately 400 square meters of office space located at Room1002, Building 1, East Shilipu Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China. The lease term commenced on March 8, 2020 and expires on June 7, 2023. The lease provides for an annual rental of RMB 641,208 (approximately US$91,334), payable semi-annually. Bao Feng is responsible for paying for all utilities.

In addition, Bao Feng leases approximately 314 square meters of warehouse space in which it stores its inventory. The lease for this space, which commenced on August 15, 2018 and expires on August 14, 2024, provides for a rental of RMB 24,000 (US$3,631) to be paid quarterly. In addition, Bao Feng is responsible for paying for all utilities, management and maintenance fees, leasing tax and other expenses.

The Company does not own or lease any land to grow its acer truncatum trees. The trees are grown under cooperation agreements under which the Company purchases the seeds from the other party, which is responsible for leasing the land and growing the trees.

We believe that our existing office facilities will be sufficient for our operations for the next year.

As of the date of this Prospectus, we employ a total of approximately 26 full-time employees, all of whom are employed by Bao Feng. All employment contracts are in accordance with the laws of the PRC. The Company believes its relationships with its employees are satisfactory.

On October 21, 2005, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) issued a Circular on the Relevant Issues Concerning Domestic Investors Financing through Overseas Special Purpose Vehicles and Foreign Exchange Management of Return Investment, namely Circular 75, which came into effect on November 1, 2005. The term “special purpose company” as mentioned in the circular refers to an overseas company directly established or indirectly controlled for the purpose of overseas equity financing (including convertible bond financing) by a domestic resident legal person or a domestic resident natural person with the assets or equity of a domestic company held by it. The “return investment” in the circular refers to the direct investment activities carried out by domestic residents through the special purpose company, including but not limited to the following methods: purchasing or replacing the Chinese company’s equity in a domestic company, setting up a foreign-invested enterprise in the country and purchasing or negotiating the control of domestic assets through the company, negotiating the purchase of domestic assets, establishing a foreign-invested enterprise with the investment in the asset and increasing the capital of the domestic enterprise. The “domestic resident legal person” in the circular refers to a legal person and other economic organization legally established in China; “domestic resident natural person” refers to a natural person holding a legal ID card such as an ID card or passport of the PRC, or natural persons habitually residing in China because of economic interests although they do not have legal status in China. The term “control” in this circular refers to the acquisition, trust, holding, voting right, repurchase, convertible bonds, etc. of domestic residents to acquire the operating right, income right or decision-making right of a special purpose company or a domestic company. Before a domestic resident establishes or controls an overseas special purpose company, he must, with relevant materials, apply to the local foreign exchange branch and foreign exchange administration department (hereinafter referred to as the SAFE) to apply for foreign exchange registration procedures for overseas investment. Domestic residents who inject the assets or equity of domestic enterprises owned by them into special purpose companies or conduct overseas equity financing after injecting assets or equity into special purpose companies, must go through the formalities for the change in the foreign exchange registration of overseas investment in relation to their equity in the special purpose company and their changes, and they should provide relevant materials when handling. After injecting a special purpose company or investing in foreign equity financing after injecting assets or equity into a special purpose company, the company shall handle the foreign exchange registration change procedures for overseas investment in relation to the equity of the special purpose company and its changes and shall provide relevant material. After completing procedures for the foreign exchange registration and change of overseas investment in accordance with regulations, the domestic residents may pay special purpose companies for profits, dividends, liquidation, equity conversion, capital reduction, etc. If a special purpose company has any significant capital changes such as capital increase or reduction, equity transfer or replacement, merger or division, long-term equity or debt investment, external guarantee, etc. and does not involve return investment, the domestic residents must apply to SAFE for handling the change of foreign exchange registration of overseas investment or filing procedures within 30 days from the occurrence of major events. If a domestic resident set up or controlled a special purpose company abroad before the implementation of this notice and completed the return investment but failed to register the foreign investment registration of the foreign investment according to the provisions, he was required to go to the local SAFE to renew the foreign investment registration of the foreign investor before March 31, 2006 according to the provisions of this notice. After completing the renewing registration of foreign exchange registration of overseas investment, SAFE may handle foreign exchange registration procedures for foreign investment and foreign debt for the relevant domestic enterprise.

On August 29, 2008, SAFE issued a Circular on the Improvement of the Business Operations Related to Foreign Exchange Capital Payment and Foreign Exchange Capital Management of Foreign-invested Enterprises, that is, Circular No. 142. The circular indicates that the RMB funds received from the foreign exchange enterprise’s capital gains shall be used within the business scope approved by the government approval department. Unless otherwise specified, the RMB funds obtained through settlement shall not be used for domestic equity investment. Excluding commercial real estate investment enterprises, foreign-funded enterprises may not purchase domestic real estate that is not for their own use in the form of RMB funds obtained through capital settlement. The use of RMB funds from foreign exchange-funded enterprises for capital investment in securities shall be implemented in accordance with relevant state regulations.

On November 9, 2011, SAFE issued a circular on further clarifying and standardizing issues concerning the management of foreign exchange operations for certain capital accounts, namely Circular 45, which clarified the scope of application of Circular 142. The circular pointed out that foreign-invested enterprises must not use the RMB funds derived from the foreign exchange capital settlement for domestic equity investment. Foreign-invested enterprises with equity investment approved by the relevant competent authorities must use their foreign exchange capital and domestic Chinese-funded institutions must use the foreign exchange funds in the asset liquidation account for domestic equity investments, with reference to the principle of foreign exchange capital contribution management of foreign-invested companies. Foreign-funded enterprises must not issue entrusted loans, repay inter-enterprise loans (including third-party advances) or repay bank loans that are re-lending to third parties in the form of RMB funds derived from foreign exchange capital settlement. Foreign-funded enterprises may not, in principle, deliver various types of deposits in the form of RMB funds derived from foreign exchange capitalization. Funds in the dedicated deposit account may not be settled.

On July 4, 2014, SAFE issued a circular on the issues relating to the pilot reform of foreign exchange capital management of foreign-invested enterprises in certain regions (i.e., Circular 36). The circular pointed out that since August 4, 2014, pilot projects for the reform of the management of foreign exchange capital in foreign exchange enterprises will be carried out in some regions. The foreign exchange capital recognized in the capital contribution account of a foreign-invested enterprise through the foreign exchange administration where it is located can be processed at the bank according to the actual business needs of the enterprise. The capital of a foreign-invested enterprise and the RMB funds derived from its settlement of foreign exchange shall not be used for the following purposes:

Also, on July 14, 2014, SAFE issued a circular on the related issues concerning Domestic Residents’ Foreign Investment through Special Purpose Companies and Foreign Exchange Management for Return Investment (“Circular 37”), which replaced Circular 75. Compared with Circular 75, Circular 37 further simplified and facilitated the cross-border capital transactions of domestic residents involved in investment and financing activities through special purpose companies. The circular stipulates that SAFE shall exercise registration management for the establishment of special purpose companies for domestic residents. Before a domestic resident can use the legal assets or rights at home and abroad to invest in a special purpose company, he shall apply to SAFE for the foreign exchange registration formalities for overseas investment. If the domestic residents’ profits and bonuses obtained from special purpose companies are transferred back to China, they shall be handled in accordance with the current regulations on foreign exchange management; if the foreign exchange income from capital changes is transferred back to China, they shall be handled in accordance with the foreign exchange management provisions for capital accounts.

On March 30, 2015, SAFE issued a notice on reforming the foreign exchange capital management of foreign-invested enterprises, namely, Circular No. 19, which took effect on June 1, 2015. The circular indicates that SAFE has decided to implement the reform of foreign exchange capital management of foreign-invested enterprises on a nation-wide basis after summarizing the pilot experience in previous regions. At the same time, Circular 142 and Circular 36 were repealed.

The principal regulations governing dividend distributions by wholly foreign owned enterprises include the Company Law, as amended and effective in October 2018, the Foreign Investment Law and Regulation on the Implementation of the Foreign Investment Law as promulgated and effective in January 2020. Under these laws and regulations, wholly foreign owned enterprises in the PRC may pay dividends only out of their retained earnings, if any, determined in accordance with the PRC accounting standards and regulations. Additionally, a wholly foreign owned enterprise is required, as other enterprises subject to PRC laws, to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund statutory reserve funds of the enterprise until the cumulative amount of such funds reaches 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Under the relevant PRC law, no net assets other than the accumulated after-tax profits can be distributed in the form of dividends.

According to the Labor Law of the PRC (promulgated in 1994, amended in 2009), Labor Contract Law of the PRC (promulgated in 2007, amended in 2012) and Implementation Regulations of the Labor Contract Law of the PRC (promulgated in 2008), it is stipulated that employers and laborers should establish labor contracts when they establish labor relations. The labor contract concluded according to law is binding, and employers and laborers shall perform the obligations stipulated in the labor contract. Where a labor relationship has been established and a written labor contract has not been concluded at the same time, a written labor contract shall be concluded within one month from the date of employment. Where an employer and a laborer conclude a labor contract prior to employment, the labor relationship shall be established from the date of employment. The state implements a minimum wage security system. The specific standards for minimum wages are stipulated by the people’s governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government and reported to the State Council for the record. The employer’s payment of laborers’ wages must not be less than the local minimum wage standard. The employer must provide laborers with labor safety and hygiene conditions that are in compliance with the state regulations and necessary labor protection supplies. Workers engaged in occupational hazard operations should carry out regular health checks.

The provisions concerning the employment of foreigners in China are mainly based on the Regulations on the Administration of Employment of Foreigners in China jointly issued by the Ministry of Labor, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation on January 22, 1996, as amended on November 12, 2010 and March 13, 2017. The regulation states that employers employing foreigners must apply for employment permits for the foreigner. Foreigners can only be hired after obtaining permission and obtaining the Employment License for Foreigners of the PRC (hereinafter referred to as “permit”). Foreigners employed in China should enter the country on a Z-visa (if they have a mutual visa exemption agreement, they should be dealt with according to the agreement). After entering China and obtain the Foreigner’s Employment Permit (hereinafter referred to as “employment permit”), they will be able to obtain employment in China. Foreigners who have not obtained a residence permit (namely, those with F, L, C and G visas), foreigners studying in China or performing internships and dependents of foreigners holding a Z visa may not be employed in China. In exceptional circumstances, the employer may apply for a permit in accordance with the approval procedures stipulated in these Regulations. Foreigners employed with a permit to the public security agency change their status and apply for an employment permit or residence permit. Employing units and foreigners hired shall conclude labor contracts according to law. The duration of a labor contract must not exceed five years. When the employment contract signed between the foreigner and the employing unit expires, the employment permit will be invalid.

The circular concerning the Handling of Work Permits for Foreign Experts Coming to China issued by the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs on September 30, 2004, states that foreign experts hired to work in China should obtain the Work Permit for Foreign Experts to Come to China. Foreign experts applying for Work Permits for Foreign Experts to Work in China shall abide by Chinese laws and regulations, be in good health, have no criminal record and meet one of the following conditions:

Foreign experts in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) shall have a bachelor’s degree or above and more than 5 years of relevant work experience. All units intending to hire foreign experts shall be entitled to Accreditation of Foreign Experts Units and obtain the Certificate of Employment of Foreign Expert Units. This certificate is the basic proof of foreign nationals applying for work permits, invitation letters, foreign expert certificates and residence procedures in China. The Provincial Foreign Experts Bureaus, State Council related ministries and commissions, and the directly-affiliated agencies’ foreign affairs divisions (bureaus) are responsible for the annual inspection work of the local or department according to the annual inspection notice issued by the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs and submit the regional annual inspection report to the State Administration of Foreign Experts Bureau by the end of December. The National Bureau of Foreign Experts conducts annual inspections of all eligible units from January 1 to January 31 every year.

According to the decision regarding the cancellation of 13 administrative licenses of the State Council issued by the State Council on February 13, 2016, the accreditation of foreign experts by the State Foreign Experts Bureau was cancelled.

On March 28, 2017, the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued a notice on the Full Implementation of the Work Permit System for Foreigners to Come to China. The circular states that foreigners allowed to work in China will receive Work Permits for Foreigners to Come to China to replace Foreigner Employment Permits and Foreign Experts to Work Permits in China since April 1, 2017.

Although Bao Feng does not currently employ any foreigners, management hopes to employ foreigners and foreign experts in the future as part of its expansion plan.

PRC corporate income tax. On March 6, 2007, the National People’s Congress of the PRC issued the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC, which was implemented on January 1, 2008 and revised on February 24, 2017. The tax law stipulates that foreign-invested enterprises and domestic enterprises have an income tax rate of 25%.

On April 22, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation issued a notice on Relevant Issues of Overseas Registered Chinese-Funded Controlled Enterprises Recognized as Resident Enterprises on the Basis of Actual Management Institutional Standards, which became effective on January 1, 2008. The circular states that overseas Chinese-invested enterprises that meet the following conditions shall determine that they are resident companies of the actual administrative agency in China (hereinafter referred to as non-domestically registered resident enterprises), implement corresponding tax administration and collect corporate income tax on their income from inside and outside China:

On July 27, 2011, the State Administration of Taxation issued an announcement on the issuance of the Administrative Measures on the Income Tax of Overseas-registered Chinese-controlled Holding Enterprises (Trial), which took effect on September 1, 2011. The measure points out that non-domestic-registered resident enterprises shall, in accordance with relevant Chinese laws and regulations and regulations of the competent departments of finance and taxation under the State Council, formulate financial and accounting statements, and shall, within 15 days from the date of receipt of tax registration certificates, submit the enterprise’s financial and accounting systems or financial accounting, the handling methods and related information to the competent tax authorities for the record. Non-domiciled registered resident companies that obtain dividends, bonuses and other equity investment income derived from China, income from interest, rent, royalties, transfer of property income and other income, shall issue a copy of the company’s Certificate of Resident Identity of Overseas-registered Chinese-controlled Enterprises issued by the company. According to Article 26 of the Corporate Income Tax Law of the PRC and Articles 17, 18 and 91 of the Implementation Regulations on Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC, the following income of enterprises is tax exempt income:

The applicable tax rate for income obtained by non-resident enterprises is 20%. Corporate income tax on income earned by non-resident enterprises is levied at the rate of 10%. That is to say, general overseas companies transferring 10% of the corporate income tax shall be subject to the transfer of equity in Chinese enterprises or the dividend distribution of Chinese enterprises. However, if the non-resident enterprise is a resident enterprise belonging to a country or region that has signed a tax treaty or arrangement with China, it may enjoy preferential tax treaty provisions.

Small-scale and low-profit enterprises that meet certain conditions are subject to a 10% income tax rate. According to Notice 13 (2019) on Implementing the Policy of Inclusive Tax Relief for Small and Micro Enterprises issued by the Ministry of Finance and State Administration of Taxation on January 17, 2019 that become effective from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021, in order for an enterprise to qualify as a small-scale and low-profit enterprise, its annual taxable income must not be more than RMB3 million; its number of employees must not exceed 300; and its total assets must not exceed RMB50 million. A qualified small-scale and low-profit enterprise can enjoy a reduced income tax rate of 5%, as compared with a general income tax rate of 25%, on annual taxable income not exceeding RMB1 million, and the remaining income (i.e. annual taxable income from RMB1 million to RMB3 million) can enjoy a reduced income tax rate of 10%.

High and new technology enterprises that satisfy regulatory requirements on high and new technology area, science and technology personnel, R&D expense, high and new technology income, innovation capability, etc., are taxed at a preferential income tax rate of 15%.

Bao Feng qualifies as a small scale and low-profit enterprise as well as a high and new technology enterprise, and is subject to the following income tax rates:

PRC withholding tax. Foreign enterprises have no institutions or places in China, but have obtained profits, interest, rent, royalties and other income from China, or have established institutions or places, but the above-mentioned income has no actual connection with institutions and places. The amount of income is subject to withholding income tax. In accordance with the accrued method, the payer (payer) pays the tax on the proceeds (payments) to the beneficiary (the payee). The withholding income tax belongs to personal income tax or corporate income tax, but it is only a source of income tax control. It is a taxation of a personal income tax or corporate income tax.

In 2008, China began to impose a dividend withholding income tax on foreign-invested enterprises at a tax rate of 20%, generally levied at 10%. Hong Kong, Macao, Singapore, Seychelles and others have signed tax treaties with China or have special taxes. The preferential national tax rate for the countries in the arrangement is as low as 5%. Therefore, when a Hong Kong company affiliated to the group obtains the after-tax profits distributed by the mainland Chinese company it invests, the mainland Chinese company must withhold and pay 5% of the withholding income tax.

In addition, Notice No. 88 (2017) on “the Issues Concerning the Direct Investment of Foreign Investors in Distributing the Withholding Income Tax Policy” stipulates that foreign investors who meet the conditions of direct investment shall not be subject to withholding tax.

PRC Business Tax and Value-Added Tax (VAT). On March 23, 2016, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation issued a circular on the Full Implementation of the Business Tax Levy of VAT Pilots. The circular indicates that since May 1, 2016, pilots for the change of business tax to VAT have been fully promoted throughout the country, and all business tax taxpayers, including Bao Feng, were included in the scope of the pilot and were changed from paying business tax to paying VAT. According to notice No. 36 (2016) issued by the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation, the Comprehensive Project replaces Business Tax with Value-added Tax. VAT standard rates are 6% to 17% of the gross sales price. A credit is available whereby VAT paid on the purchase of semi-finished products or raw materials used in the production of the Company’s finished products can be used to offset the VAT due on sales of the finished products and services.

According to notice No. 13 (2019), the VAT small-scale taxpayers with monthly sales of less than RMB 100,000 are exempt from VAT. The implementation date of this paper is from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021. According to the "Notice of the State Administration of Taxation on Issues Concerning the Exemption of Value-Added Tax for Small and Micro Enterprises" (State Administration of Taxation Announcement No. 52 of 2017, now abolished), from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020 sales of small-scale VAT taxpayers shall not exceed RMB 30,000 (tax payment of RMB 90,000 per quarter) and enjoy the preferential policy of exemption from VAT.

Bao Feng currently pays a value-added tax of either 9% or 13% on sales, depending on the product, and 6% on technical services.

The Companies Law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our Memorandum and Articles permit indemnification of officers and directors for actions, proceedings, claims, losses, damages, costs, liabilities and expenses (“Indemnified Losses”) incurred in their capacities as such unless such Indemnified Losses arise from dishonesty of such directors or officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

The following table shows the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by our directors and executive officers as of March 31, 2021:

The following discussion is a brief summary of certain material arrangements, agreements and transactions we have had with related parties since January 1, 2018, other than the compensation arrangements we describe in “Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors.”

The Selling Shareholders may also sell the Resale Shares short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Resale Shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of Resale Shares offered by this Prospectus, which Shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of Shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Shareholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

The Selling Shareholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Resale Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the amendment or supplement to this Prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act will be filed amending the list of Selling Shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Shareholders under this Prospectus and the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell Resale Shares from time to time under the supplement or amendment to this Prospectus.

The Selling Shareholders also may transfer the Resale Shares in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this Prospectus.

The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the Resale Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the Resale Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of Resale Shares will be paid by the Selling Shareholder and/or the purchasers.

FINRA Rule 5110 requires FINRA member firms (unless an exemption applies) to satisfy the filing requirements of Rule 5110 in connection with the resale, on behalf of Selling Shareholders, of the securities on a principal or agency basis. NASD Notice to Members 88-101 states that in the event a Selling Shareholder intends to sell any of the Shares registered for resale in this Prospectus through a member of FINRA participating in a distribution of our securities, such member is responsible for insuring that a timely filing, if required, is first made with the Corporate Finance Department of FINRA and disclosing to FINRA the following:

If a Selling Shareholder uses this Prospectus for any sale of the Resale Shares, it will be subject to the Prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Shareholders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such Selling Shareholders in connection with resales of their respective Resale Shares under this registration statement.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the Shares of a Selling Shareholder may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, such Shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and complied with.

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the Resale Shares, but the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Resale Shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of our Ordinary Shares and activities of the Selling Shareholders.

We have advised the Selling Shareholders that, while they are engaged in a distribution of the Shares included in this Prospectus, they are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the Selling Shareholders, any affiliated purchasers and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution from bidding, purchasing or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Shares offered by this Prospectus.

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability and our affairs are governed by our Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Law, the common law of the Cayman Islands, our corporate governance documents and rules and regulations of the stock exchange on which our Shares may, in the future, be traded.

No preferred shares have been issued.

As of the date of this Prospectus, there are 17,145,000 of our Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, 16,150,000 (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) of which were issued in July 2019 in consideration for 100% of the outstanding shares of China Bio pursuant to the Share Exchange.

We do not believe that these restrictions materially affect our operations.

Under our Memorandum and Articles of Association, the objects of our Company are unrestricted and we have the full power and authority to carry out any object not prohibited by the law of the Cayman Islands.

Paragraph 107 of our Articles of Association (our “Articles”) provides that a director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or a proposed contract with the Company shall declare the nature of his interest at a meeting of the directors or by general notice to the directors.

Such borrowing powers can be altered by an amendment to the Articles. There is no provision in the Articles for the mandatory retirement of directors. Paragraph 85 of the Articles provides that directors are not required to own shares of the Company in order to serve as directors.

Our authorized share capital is $50,000, divided into 50,000,000 Shares, $0.001 par value. Holders of our Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote for each whole Share on all matters to be voted upon by shareholders, including the election of directors. Holders of our Ordinary Shares do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. All of our fully paid Ordinary Shares are equal to each other with respect to dividend rights. Holders of our Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive dividends if and when declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor under Cayman Islands law. In the event of our liquidation, the liquidator will, after having discharged the debts, if any, of the Company, divide among the shareholders on a pari passu basis, in specie or kind, the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for such purpose set such value as he deems fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid. Holders of our Ordinary Shares have no preemptive rights to purchase any additional unissued Ordinary Shares. No preferred shares have been issued; however, the Board of Directors has the ability to determine the rights, preferences and restrictions of preferred shares at their discretion.

Cayman Islands law and our Memorandum and Articles of Association impose no limitations on the right of nonresident or foreign owners to hold or vote our securities. There are no provisions in the Memorandum and Articles of Association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

Some provisions of our Articles may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our Company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that:

However, under Cayman Islands law, our directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under our Memorandum and Articles of Association for a proper purpose and for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our Company.

Paragraph 6 of our Articles authorize our Board of Directors to issue additional Ordinary Shares from time to time as our Board of Directors shall determine, to the extent there are available authorized but unissued Shares.

Paragraph 7 of our Articles also authorizes our Board of Directors to establish from time to time one or more series of preferred shares and to determine, subject to compliance with the variation of rights of shares provision in the Articles, with respect to any series of preferred shares, the terms and rights of that series, including:

Our Board of Directors may issue preferred shares without action by our shareholders to the extent there are authorized but unissued shares available. Issuance of additional shares may dilute the voting power of holders of our Ordinary Shares. However, no shares may be issued in excess of the authorized share capital specified in our Memorandum of Association and to the extent the rights attached to any class may be varied, the Company must comply with the provisions in our Articles relating to variations in rights of shares.

A copy of our Memorandum and Articles of Association was filed as Exhibit A to the Definitive Schedule 14(C) filed with the SEC by the Company on January 16, 2018.

Effective November 15, 2017, the Company (the “Delaware Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology Holdings Limited (the “Cayman Company), an exempted company limited by shares which was formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands, in order to effect a change in the Company’s domicile from Delaware to the Cayman Islands. The Merger Agreement provided that, upon effectiveness of the merger, (i) the Delaware Company would be merged with and into the Cayman Company with the Cayman Company being the surviving company; (ii) each share of Common Stock of the Delaware Company would convert into the right to receive one Ordinary Share of the Cayman Company; and (iii) the officers and directors of the Delaware Company would be the officers and directors of the Cayman Company. The Plan of Merger was approved by the shareholders of both the Delaware Company and the Cayman Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company became a Cayman Islands exempted company as of August 21, 2018.

On July 2, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive Share Exchange Agreement with Zhong Yuan Investment and its affiliates, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the outstanding Common Stock of China Bio in exchange for the issuance of 161,500,000 Ordinary Shares to Zhong Yuan Investment. On August 31, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), China Bio became our wholly owned subsidiary and Zhong Yuan Investment became the owner of approximately 94.2% of our voting Shares. The Share Exchange Agreement was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 5, 2019.

On March 1, 2020, Bao Feng entered into an acquisition agreement to acquire a 100% interest in Dandong BF from Yu Chang, the owner of 41.6% of the outstanding shares of Zhong Yuan Investment and the father of Ms. Ting Ting Chang, for a total consideration of RMB10,500,000 (approximately $1,482,600), RMB3,160,000 (approximately US$446,192) of which was paid upon signing of the Equity Transfer Agreement. The balance of RMB7,340,000 (approximately US$1,036,408) was paid upon completion of the acquisition by offsetting the amounts due from related companies of which Yu Chang is the owner and director.

Summaries of our employment contracts with executive officers and key employees are disclosed under “Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors – Employment Contracts” and were filed as Exhibits 10.9 through 10.11 to our Report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on September 5, 2019.

Summaries of our leases are disclosed under “Our Business – Properties” and were filed as Exhibits 10.13 and 10.14 to the Registration Statement on Form F-1filed with the SEC on April 28, 2020.

Bao Feng entered into a Joint Project Contract with the National Health and Occupational Safety and Health Research Center, effective from June 20, 2019 to June 20, 2023. The contract provides for the joint construction of a laboratory and cooperation between the parties on research and development and testing projects. An English translation of the Joint Project Contract was filed as Exhibit 10.2 to our Report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on September 5, 2019.

The government of the PRC imposes restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB and the collection and use of foreign currencies by Chinese entities. Under the current regulations, the RMB can be freely exchanged in current account transactions, including dividend distribution, interest payments and import and export of goods and services. However, the conversion of RMB into foreign currency and the conversion of foreign currency into RMB for capital account transactions, such as direct investment, securities investment and loans, generally require prior approval from the SAFE.

According to the current PRC regulations, foreign-invested enterprises, such as our subsidiaries in China, must apply for a Foreign Exchange Registration Certificate for Foreign-Invested Enterprise. With such a certificate, a foreign-invested enterprise may open foreign exchange bank accounts with banks authorized by SAFE to conduct foreign exchange business and may purchase, sell and remit foreign exchange through such banks, subject to documentation and approval requirements. Foreign-invested enterprises are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account transactions and current accounts. In addition, there are restrictions on the amount of foreign currency that foreign-invested enterprises can retain in such accounts.

There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

No reciprocal tax treaty regarding withholding exists between the United States and the Cayman Islands. Under current Cayman Islands law, dividends, interest or royalties paid by us to individuals are not subject to tax. If we were to pay a dividend, we would not be liable to withhold any tax, but shareholders would receive gross dividends, if any, irrespective of their residential or national status.

Dividends, if any, paid to any United States resident or citizen shareholder are treated as dividend income for United States federal income tax purposes. Such dividends are not eligible for the 50% dividends-received deduction allowed to United States corporations on dividends from a domestic corporation under Section 243 of the Internal Revenue Code. Various Internal Revenue Code provisions impose special taxes in certain circumstances on non-United States corporations and their shareholders. You are urged to consult your tax advisor with regard to such possibilities and your own tax situation.

A foreign corporation will be treated as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for United States federal income tax purposes if, after applying relevant look-through rules with respect to the income and assets of subsidiaries, 75% or more of its gross income consists of certain types of passive income or 50% or more of the gross value of its assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We presently believe that we are not a PFIC and do not anticipate becoming a PFIC. This is, however, a factual determination made on an annual basis and is subject to change. If we were to be classified as a PFIC in any taxable year, (i) United States holders would generally be required to treat any gain on sales of our Shares held by them as ordinary income and to pay an interest charge on the value of the deferral of their United States federal income tax attributable to such gain; and (ii) distributions paid by us to our United States holders could also be subject to an interest charge. In addition, we would not provide information to our United States holders that would enable them to make a “qualified electing fund” election under which, generally, in lieu of the foregoing treatment, our earnings would be currently included in their United States federal income.

In addition to United States federal income taxation, shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes upon their receipt of dividends. Further, non-U.S. shareholders may be subject to taxation upon their receipt of dividends in their tax jurisdiction.

You may read and copy documents referred to in this Prospectus that have been filed with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. You can also obtain copies of our SEC filings by going to the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

The SEC allows us to “incorporate by reference” the information we file with the SEC. This means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to another document filed separately with the SEC. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this Prospectus.

Set forth below is an itemization of our total expenses, which are expected to be incurred in connection with the offer and sale of the Ordinary Shares by us. With the exception of the SEC registration fee, all amounts are estimates.

The validity of the Ordinary Shares being offered by this Prospectus and other legal matters concerning the Resale Shares relating to Cayman Islands law will be passed upon for us by Harney Westwood & Riegels.

The financial statements of the Company included in this Prospectus as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and for the period from April 4, 2016 (inception) to December 31, 2016 have been included in reliance on the report of KCCW Accountancy Corp., an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

The financial statements of the Company included in this Prospectus as of and for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 and the financila statements of China Bio included in this Prospectus as of and for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 have been included in reliance on the report of Centurion ZD CPA & Co., an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. We changed our domicile to the Cayman Islands because of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands corporation, such as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system, a favorable tax system, the absence of foreign exchange control or currency restrictions and the availability of professional and support services. However, the Cayman Islands have a less developed body of securities laws that provides significantly less protection to investors as compared to the securities laws of the United States. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.

All of our assets are located in the PRC. In addition, both of our directors and officers are residents of the PRC and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or our directors and officers, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

According to our local Cayman Islands counsel, Harney Westwood & Riegels, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against the Company or its directors or officers, predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States, or (ii) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands against the Company or its directors or officers, predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

Cayman Islands counsel further advised that, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of final and conclusive monetary judgments obtained in a competent federal or state court of the United States for a definite sum (and the Cayman Islands are not a party to any treaties for the reciprocal enforcement or recognition of such judgments), such a judgment obtained in such jurisdiction can be expected to be recognized and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands at common law, without any re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment debt in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, provided such judgment (i) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given; (iii) is final; (iv) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty; (v) is not inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment of the same matter; (vi) was not obtained on grounds of fraud; and (vii) was not obtained in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands. However, the Cayman Islands courts are unlikely to enforce a judgment obtained from the U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities law if such judgment is determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands to give rise to obligations to make payments that are penal or punitive in nature.

With respect to China, the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under PRC Civil Procedure Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of PRC Civil Procedure Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other form of reciprocity with the United States or the Cayman Islands that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedure Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States or in the Cayman Islands.

We have filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-1 under the Securities Act relating to this Offering of our Ordinary Shares. This Prospectus does not contain all of the information contained in the registration statement. The rules and regulations of the SEC allow us to omit certain information from this Prospectus that is included in the registration statement. Statements made in this Prospectus concerning the contents of any contract, agreement or other document are summaries of all material information about the documents summarized, but are not complete descriptions of all terms of these documents. If we filed any of these documents as an exhibit to the registration statement, you may read the document itself for a complete description of its terms.

You may read and copy the registration statement, including the related exhibits and schedules, and any document we file with the SEC without charge at the SEC’s public reference room at 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549. You may also obtain copies of the documents at prescribed rates by writing to the Public Reference Section of the SEC at 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the public reference room. The SEC also maintains an Internet website that contains reports and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. Our filings with the SEC are also available to the public through the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

We are subject to the information reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to foreign private issuers, and under those requirements file reports with the SEC. Those reports or other information may be inspected without charge at the locations described above. As a foreign private issuer, we will be exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will not be required under the Exchange Act to file annual, quarterly and current reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. However, we will file with the SEC, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, or such applicable time as required by the SEC, an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology Holdings Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology Holdings Limited (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive losses, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology Holdings Limited (“ZY Holdings” or the “Company”), through its subsidiaries, is engaged in the business of developing and marketing nervonic acid-based health supplements and sales of acer truncatum seedlings. ZY Holdings together with its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company”.

On August 31, 2019, ZY Holdings closed on a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) with Zhong Yuan Investment Limited (“Zhong Yuan Investment”), a Seychelles company limited by shares. Prior to the exchange, Zhong Yuan Investment owned 100% of the shares of China Bio-Technology Holdings Limited (“China Bio”), a company organized under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles. Under the Share Exchange Agreement, ZY Holdings issued 161,500,000 shares to Zhong Yuan Investment in exchange of 100% equity interest in China Bio. As a result of the Share Exchange, China Bio is now a wholly owned subsidiary of ZY Holdings. Immediately following the closing of the Share Exchange, the Company had 170,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding, 95% of which were owned by Zhong Yuan Investment.

The Share Exchange has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the purchase method of accounting, with no goodwill being recognized. ZY Holdings (the legal acquirer) has been considered the accounting acquiree and China Bio (the legal acquiree) the accounting acquirer. The consolidated financial statements prior to the closing of the Share Exchange are actually those of China Bio, and the accounts of ZY Holdings are consolidated from the date of consummation of the Share Exchange.

In and around January 2018 China Bio completed a reorganization of its legal structure. The reorganization involved the incorporation of China Bio and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology (Hong Kong) Limited (“ZY HK”, previously known as Hua Hong Powerloop Technology (Hong Kong) Limited, a holding company incorporated on June 13, 2016 under the laws of Hong Kong) and Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology (Shenzhen) Company Limited (“ZY Shenzhen”, a holding company established on June 10, 2014 under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and previously known as Shenzhen Chuang Feng Clear Energy Company Limited); and the transfer of all equity ownership of Bao Feng Bio-Technology (Beijing) Limited (“BF Beijing”, previously known as Beijing Yuan Bao Feng Century Agricultural Technology Limited, an operating company incorporated on August 30, 2012 under the laws of the PRC) to ZY Shenzhen from the former shareholders of BF Beijing.

On January 19, 2018, ZY Shenzhen entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the equity ownership of BF Beijing for a total cash consideration of $1,351,500 (RMB8,500,000) from the former shareholders of BF Beijing. To fund ZY Shenzhen’s acquisition of BF Beijing, these former shareholders agreed to provide an interest-free loan to China Bio which in turn provided an interest-free loan to ZY Shenzhen of the same amount of $1,351,500 (RMB8,500,000). For the purpose of this transaction, in January 2018, these former shareholders had established a majority ownership in China Bio whose shares were issued and paid up by way of capitalization of the said interest-free loan of $1,351,500 provided by these former shareholders. China Bio has a direct 100% equity interest in ZY Shenzhen. On February 13, 2019, ZY Shenzhen received approval from the Economic and Trade Bureau of Beijing, the PRC, on the acquisition of BF Beijing.

Since China Bio and its subsidiaries have effectively been controlled by the same group of shareholders before and after the reorganization, they are considered under common control. The above-mentioned transactions have been accounted for as recapitalization of BF Beijing with no adjustment to the historical basis of the assets and liabilities of BF Beijing and the operations were consolidated as though the transaction occurred as of the beginning of the first accounting period presented in these financial statements. For the purpose of presenting the financial statements on a consistent basis, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the Company, ZY Shenzhen and ZY HK had been in existence since the beginning of the earliest period presented and throughout the whole periods covered by these financial statements.

On December 13, 2019, the Company closed on the sale of 1,450,000 Ordinary Shares, at a purchase price of $0.10 per Share, pursuant to a private securities offering.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation. All significant intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.

Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of directors.

The preparation of 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include but not limited to the useful lives of property and equipment and capitalized development cost, impairment of long-lived assets, valuation of accounts receivables, revenue recognition, provision for contingent liabilities, and realization of deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The subsidiaries within the Company maintain their books and records in their respective functional currency, Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) and Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), being the lawful currency in the PRC and Hong Kong, respectively. The Company’s financial statements are reported using U.S. Dollars. The results of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the average rates of exchange during the reporting period. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. The equity denominated in the functional currencies is translated at the historical rates of exchange at the time of capital contributions. Because cash flows are translated based on the average translation rates, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income included in consolidated statements of changes in equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB and HK$ into U.S. Dollars for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements are as follows:-

No representation is made that the RMB and HK$ amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at the above rates.

ASC 825-10 requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepayments, deposits and other current assets, accounts payable, customer deposits, salaries and benefits payables, and taxes payable approximates their recorded values due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of the long term prepayments, deposits and other assets approximate their carrying amounts because the deposits were paid in cash.

Cash comprise cash at banks and on hand, which includes deposits with original maturities of three months or less with commercial banks in PRC. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, cash balances were $60,790 and $5,377. The Company maintains bank accounts in the PRC. Cash balances in bank accounts in PRC are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other programs.

Prepayment, deposit and other assets, net, primarily consists of advances to suppliers for purchasing goods; rental deposit made to the landlord; prepaid expenses and other receivables. Prepayment, deposit and other assets are classified as either current or non-current based on the terms of the respective agreements. These advances are unsecured and are reviewed periodically to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired.

Accounts receivable, net, is stated at the original invoiced amount net of write-offs and allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. Past-due balances over 90 days are reviewed individually for collectability. In evaluating the collectability of individual accounts receivable balances, the Company considers several factors, including the age of the balance, the customer’s payment history, current credit-worthiness, and current economic trends. Accounts receivable balances are written off after all collection efforts have been exhausted. Typically, the Company includes unbilled receivables in accounts receivable for contracts on which revenue has been recognized, but for which the customer has not yet been billed. Unbilled receivables, substantially all of which are expected to be billed within one year are stated at their estimated realizable value and consist of costs and fees billable on contract completion or the occurrence of contractual payment phase.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. Market value is determined by reference to selling prices after the balance sheet date or to management’s estimates based on prevailing market conditions. The management also regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine if valuation allowance is required.

Property and equipment, net, mainly comprise furniture and furniture, vehicles, computer and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Property and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets on a straight-line basis, after considering the estimated residual value.

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and the related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is charged to the statement of income and comprehensive income.

Long-lived assets, including office equipment, furniture and fixtures and automobiles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company measures impairment by comparing the carrying values of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amounts of the assets, the Company would recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value over the assessed discounted cash flow amount. For the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized nil impairment for the long-lived assets.

Revenue is recognized when the following four criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) product delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, (iii) the fees are fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company generates its revenue primarily from the sales of health care supplements. Sales of products are generally recognized when title transfers and the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to customers and when the selling price has been fixed and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company does not provide its customers with the right of return (except for quality), after-sale warranty or price protection. There are no customer acceptance provisions associated with the Company’s products.

The Company is subject to value added tax at 17% on the revenues earned for products sold in the PRC. The Company presents its revenue net of value added and other taxes, sales discounts and returns. There were insignificant product returns for the two years ended March 31, 2020 and hence no provision has been made for sales returns as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Advertising expenditures are expensed as incurred and such expenses were minimal for the periods presented.

Advertising expenditures have been included as part of selling and marketing expenses.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), on April 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company leases its offices which are classified as operating leases in accordance with Topic 842. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.

At the commencement date, the Company recognizes the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. The right-of-use asset is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. No impairment for right-of-use lease assets as of March 31, 2020.

The Company accounts for current income taxes in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. Deferred income taxes are recognized when temporary differences exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period including the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. No significant penalties or interest relating to income taxes have been incurred during the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. All of the tax returns of the Company’s subsidiary in China remain subject to examination by the tax authorities for five years from the date of filing.

Revenue represents the invoiced value of service, net of VAT. The VAT is based on gross sales price and VAT rates range up to 17%, depending on the type of service provided. Entities that are VAT general taxpayers are allowed to offset qualified input VAT paid to suppliers against their output VAT liabilities. Net VAT balance between input VAT and output VAT is recorded in taxes payable. All of the VAT returns filed by the Company’s subsidiary in China, have been and remain subject to examination by the tax authorities for five years from the date of filing.

Full time employees of the Company in the PRC participate in a government mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, unemployment insurance, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labour regulations require that the Company make contributions to the government for these benefits based on a certain percentage of the employee’s salaries. The Company has no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions. The total amount was expensed as incurred.

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires companies to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common share outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of the potential Ordinary Shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential Ordinary Shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

Assets that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable and other current assets. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amounts as at the balance sheet dates. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, the aggregate amount of cash of $60,154 and $5,377, respectively, were held at major financial institutions in PRC, where there currently is no rule or regulation requiring the financial institutions to maintain insurance to cover bank deposits in the event of bank failure. To limit exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Company primarily place cash deposits with large financial institutions in PRC. The Company conducts credit evaluations of its customers and suppliers, and generally does not require collateral or other security from them. The Company establishes an accounting policy for allowance for doubtful accounts on the individual customer’s and supplier’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions.

A majority of the Company’s expense transactions are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the Company and its subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”). Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Company in China must be processed through the PBOC or other China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.

The Company’s functional currency is the RMB, and the Company’s financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar in the future. The change in the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. dollar may affect our financial results reported in the U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying changes in our business or results of operations. Currently, our assets, liabilities, revenues and costs are denominated in RMB.

To the extent that the Company needs to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for capital expenditures and working capital and other business purposes, appreciation of RMB against U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the RMB amount the Company would receive from the conversion. Conversely, if the Company decides to convert RMB into U.S. dollar for the purpose of making payments for dividends, strategic acquisition or investments or other business purposes, appreciation of U.S. dollar against RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to the Company.

Sales revenue from three major customers was $664,349, or approximately 55% of the Company’s total sales for the year ended March 31, 2020. No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues during the year ended March 31, 2020. The Company’s accounts receivable from these customers were $7,201 as of March 31, 2020.

Two major vendors provided approximately 89% of total purchases by the Company during the year ended March 31, 2020. The Company’s accounts payable due to this vendor was nil as of March 31, 2020.

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components, net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are recorded as an element of shareholders’ equity but are excluded from net income. Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of a foreign currency translation adjustment resulting from the Company not using the U.S. dollar as its functional currencies.

In accordance with ASC 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations are formulated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings and claims arising out of the business that relate to a wide range of matters, such as government investigations and tax matters. The Company recognizes a liability for such contingency if it determines it is probable that a loss has occurred and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made. The Company may consider many factors in making these assessments including historical and the specific facts and circumstances of each matter.

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 (“ASU No. 2018-13”). The primary focus of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU No. 2018-13 removes the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for the timing of transfers between levels and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. It also adds a requirement to disclose changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop recurring and nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, entities may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop the Level 3 fair value measurement. In addition, public entities are required to provide information about the measurement uncertainty of recurring Level 3 fair value measurements from the use of significant unobservable inputs if those inputs reasonably could have been different at the reporting date. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify the requirements. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2018-13 on its financial statements, but does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2018-13 to have a material impact on its audited consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and comprehensive income and statements of cash flows.

Available-for-sale investment included the Company’s investment in certain uninsured wealth management products amounting to nil and $342,706 as of March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively, issued by China Construction Bank in the PRC. These wealth management products are funds raised by the bank which mainly invests in a range of money market and debt instruments and offers floating interest rate to the investors. The Company may redeem the wealth management products for cash anytime on a daily basis.

The Company’s investment in the wealth management products were carried at cost less any impairment losses as they do not have a quoted market price in an active market and their fair value cannot be measured reliably.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, the Company redeemed all the wealth management products at cost for cash.

The amount due from related companies was unsecured, non-interest bearing and repayable on demand.

Deposit for acquisition of $446,192 as of March 31, 2020 represented the amount paid for the proposed acquisition of Dandong Bao Feng Seedling Technology Co. Limited, that is a related party transaction. Details of this acquisition are disclosed in Note 14.

Depreciation expense for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 amounted to $6,278 and $5,923, respectively.

The loans from China Construction Bank of $460,030 outstanding as of March 31, 2020 with annual interest rate from 4.13%-5.0% were unsecured and denominated in RMB for a term of 12 months.

The loan from a third party of $206,070 outstanding as of March 31, 2019 was denominated in RMB, for a term of four months and at a fixed annual interest rate of 4.53%. The loan was unsecured and fully repaid upon maturity on April 9, 2019.

Interest expense for the years end March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $10,208 and $11,268, respectively.

On August 20, 2018, BF Beijing and Mr. Chang Yu, father of Ms. Chang Tingting Tina, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, entered into a sale and purchase agreement pursuant to which, the entire equity interest of Zhong Yuan Neuroscience was transferred to Mr. Chang Yu for a consideration of approximately $1,461,134 (RMB10 million). The consideration was equivalent to the registered capital of Zhong Yuan Neuroscience that had remained payable by BF Beijing and was settled by way of the assignment of the subscription payable by BF Beijing of the same amount to Mr. Chang. The Company recorded a gain on disposal of $3,127 for the year ended March 31, 2019.

Whilst Zhong Yuan Neuroscience had not commenced business as of August 20, 2018, it recorded revenue of $nil and net loss of $3,064 for the year ended March 31, 2018; and revenue of $nil and net loss of $63 for the period from April 1, 2018 to August 20, 2018 (date of disposal).

China Bio-Tech was incorporated in Seychelles and is not subject to tax on income or capital gains under the laws of Seychelles. Additionally, Seychelles does not impose a withholding tax on payments of dividends to shareholders.

ZY HK is established in Hong Kong. Under the Hong Kong tax laws, ZY HK is exempted from income tax on its foreign-derived income and there are no withholding taxes in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.

ZY Shenzhen is governed by the Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) laws of the PRC. Under EIT laws of the PRC, domestic enterprises and Foreign Investment Enterprises (the “FIE”) are usually subject to a unified 25% enterprise income tax rate. As ZY Shenzhen is an investment holding company, there was revenue recorded in the books of ZY Shenzhen and as a result, there was no EIT for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

BF Beijing is governed by the EIT laws of the PRC and is subject to an EIT rate of 20% because BF Beijing is classified as small profit making enterprise under the EIT laws.

The following table reconciles China statutory rates to the Company’s effective tax rate:

The Company has not recognized an income tax benefit for its operating losses generated based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The tax benefit for the periods presented is offset by a valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising from the net operating losses and other temporary differences, the realization of which could not be considered more likely than not. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not. For the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred losses, resulting from operating activities, which result in deferred tax assets at the effective statutory rates. The deferred tax asset has been off-set by an equal valuation allowance.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the cumulative earnings and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. Recovery of substantially all of the group’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future income, exclusive of reversing taxable temporary differences. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are recoverable, management believes that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets as at March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Enterprises who sell goods in the PRC are subject to a value added tax in accordance with the PRC laws. VAT standard rates are 6% to 17% of the gross sales price. A credit is available whereby VAT paid on the purchases of semi-finished products or raw materials used in the production of the Company’s finished products can be used to offset the VAT due on sales of the finished products and services.

As further described in note 1, pursuant to the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement on August 31, 2019, the Company issued 161,500,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for 100% of the equity interest of China Bio.

On December 13, 2019, the Company closed on the sale of 1,450,000 Ordinary Shares, at a purchase price of $0.10 per Share, pursuant to a private securities offering.

On March 1, 2020, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement to acquire 100% equity interest in Dandong Bao Feng Seedling Technology Co. Ltd. (“Dandong BF”) from Yu Chang, the shareholder of Zhong Yuan Investment and father of Ms. Ting Ting Chang, CEO and director of the Company, for a total consideration of $1,482,600 (or RMB10,500,000), of which $446,192 (or RMB3,160,000) was paid upon signing of the acquisition agreement. The balance of $1,036,408 (or RMB7,340,000) will be payable upon completion of the acquisition agreement on December 31, 2020.

Dangong BF was incorporated in the PRC on March 11, 2019 and is principally engaged in the research, development and growing of Acer Truncatum seeds in Dandong city, Liaoning Province, in the northeastern region of the PRC.

From time to time, the Company may be subject to certain legal proceedings, claims and disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcomes of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted, the Company does not believe these actions, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company leases offices space and warehouse for its inventories under certain non-cancelable operating leases, with terms ranging between one and five years. The Company considers those renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised in the determination of the lease term and initial measurement of right of use assets and lease liabilities. Lease expense for lease payment is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company discount lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.

The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The table below presents the operating lease related assets and liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets:

The weighted average remaining lease terms and discount rates for all of operating leases were as follows as of March 31, 2020:

The following is a schedule, by years, of maturities of lease liabilities as of March 31, 2020:

Operating lease expenses for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $107,812 and $99,629, respectively.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology Holdings Ltd (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and for the period from April 4, 2016 (inception) to December 31, 2016, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and for the period from April 4, 2016 (inception) to December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated any revenues since inception. The Company has sustained continuing operating losses and working capital deficits. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2, which includes the raising of additional equity financing or merger with another entity. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

The Company was originally incorporated under the name “Agate Island Acquisition Corporation” on April 4, 2016 under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. The current business purpose of the Company is to seek the acquisition of, or merger with, an existing company.

On May 3, 2017, the Company effected a change of its control. The Company cancelled an aggregate of 19,500,000 shares of the then 20,000,000 shares of outstanding stock valued at par. James M. Cassidy resigned as the Company's president, secretary and director and James McKillop resigned as the Company's vice president and director. CHANG Ting Ting was then named sole director and President, Secretary and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. On May 4, 2017, the Company issued 8,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to CHANG Ting Ting for no consideration as a result of the change in control.

On October 27, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology Holdings Limited, a company registered in the Cayman Islands. Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology Holdings Limited had not commenced any business as of the date of these financial statements.

On November 15, 2017, our Board of Directors unanimously adopted resolutions approving the redomicile of the Company from Delaware to the Cayman Islands. The Company changed its domicile, effective August 21, 2018, by merging into its wholly-owned Cayman Islands subsidiary, Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology Holdings Limited (the "Redomicile Merger"). As a result of the Redomicile Merger, the Company's name was changed to Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology Holdings Limited, each outstanding share of Common Stock was exchanged for one ordinary share and we became governed by our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and by the Companies Law (2018 Revision) of the Cayman Islands rather than by our previous Articles and Bylaws and the Delaware Corporate Code.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted principles (“GAAP”).

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business are dependent on, among other things, the Company’s ability to operate profitably, to generate cash flows from operations, and to pursue financing arrangements to support its working capital requirements.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary during the period from October 27, 2017 to August 21, 2018 prior to the Redomicile Merger. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit at banking institutions as well as all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high quality banking institutions. The Company did not have cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Under ASC 740, "Income Taxes," deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no deferred taxes due to the uncertainty of the realization of net operating loss or carry forward prior to expiration.

Basic loss per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share 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 loss of the entity. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, there were no outstanding dilutive securities.

The Company follows guidance for accounting for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company adopted guidance for fair value measurement related to nonfinancial items that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

The carrying amounts of financial assets such as cash approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

The Company has not yet generated any revenue since inception to date and has accumulated deficit of $79,409 and $29,253 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Company had a working capital deficit of $76,697 and $26,541 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtaining additional financing from its members or other sources, as may be required.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to do so. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In order to maintain its current level of operations, the Company will require additional working capital from either cash flow from operations or from the sale of its equity. However, the Company currently has no commitments from any third parties for the purchase of its equity. If the Company is unable to acquire additional working capital, it will be required to significantly reduce its current level of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-1, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the definition of a Business". The amendments in this ASU clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Basically, these amendments provide a screen to determine when a set is not a business. If the screen is not met, the amendments in this ASU first, require that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and second, remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. These amendments take effect for public businesses for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those periods, and all other entities should apply these amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has adopted this ASU and its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash" ("ASU 2016-18"). The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice by adding or clarifying guidance on classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Management believed that the impact of this ASU to the Company's consolidated financial statements would be insignificant and would only impact the Company to the extent it has restricted cash in future.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments," to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments provide guidance on the following eight specific cash flow issues: (1) Debt Prepayment or Debt Extinguishment Costs; (2) Settlement of Zero-Coupon Debt Instruments or Other Debt Instruments with Coupon Interest Rates That Are Insignificant in Relation to the Effective Interest Rate of the Borrowing; (3) Contingent Consideration Payments Made after a Business Combination; (4) Proceeds from the Settlement of Insurance Claims; (5) Proceeds from the Settlement of Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policies, including Bank-Owned; (6) Life Insurance Policies; (7) Distributions Received from Equity Method Investees; (8) Beneficial Interests in Securitization Transactions; and (9) Separately Identifiable Cash Flows and Application of the Predominance Principle. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company has adopted this ASU and its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

No provision for income tax has been made as the Company incurred tax loss for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and for the period from April 4, 2016 (inception) to December 31, 2016.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had accrued professional fees of $21,859 and $14,041, respectively.

The total amounts due to related parties were $54,938 and $12,600 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and are unsecured, interest-free and have no fixed repayment terms.

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

On April 4, 2016, the Company issued 20,000,000 founders common stock to two directors and officers pro rata as founder shares valued at $0.0001 par value per share and for a total discount of $2,000.

On May 3, 2017, the Company effectuated a change in control and redeemed 19,500,000 shares of common stock.

On May 4, 2017, the Company issued 8,000,000 shares of common stock to the new owner for no consideration as a result of the change in control.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, 8,500,000 shares of common stock and no preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

Management has evaluated subsequent events through May 13, 2019, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued noting no transactions that would impact the accounting for events or transactions in the current period or require additional disclosures.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of China Bio-Technology Holdings Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Bio-Technology Holdings Limited (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive losses, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

China Bio-Technology Holdings Limited (“China Bio-Tech”, previously known as China Bio-Technology Limited and Hua Hong Powerloop Patents Limited respectively), is a company that was established under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles on June 27, 2016 as a holding company. The Company, through its subsidiaries, is a provider of health supplements to corporate and government customers engaged in global trade. Mr. Chang Yu, together with her daughter, Ms. Chang Tingting Tina, Chief Operation Officer of the Company are the ultimate Controlling Shareholders of the Company. China Bio-Tech together with its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company”.

In and around January 2018 the Company completed a reorganization of its legal structure. The reorganization involved the incorporation of China Bio-Tech and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology (Hong Kong) Limited (“ZY HK”, previously known as Hua Hong Powerloop Technology (Hong Kong) Limited, a holding company incorporated on June 13, 2016 under the laws of Hong Kong) and Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology (Shenzhen) Company Limited (“ZY Shenzhen”, a holding company established on June 10, 2014 under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and previously known as Shenzhen Chuang Feng Clear Energy Company Limited); and the transfer of all equity ownership of Bao Feng Bio-Technology (Beijing) Limited (“BF Beijing”, previously known as Beijing Yuan Bao Feng Century Agricultural Technology Limited, an operating company incorporated on August 30, 2012 under the laws of the PRC) to ZY Shenzhen from the former shareholders of BF Beijing.

On January 19, 2018, ZY Shenzhen entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the equity ownership of BF Beijing for a total cash consideration of $1,351,500 (RMB8,500,000) from the former shareholders of BF Beijing. To fund ZY Shenzhen’s acquisition of BF Beijing, these former shareholders agreed to provide an interest-free loan to China Bio-Tech which in turn provided an interest-free loan to ZY Shenzhen of the same amount of $1,351,500 (RMB8,500,000). For the purpose of this transaction, in January 2018, these former shareholders had established a majority ownership in China Bio-Tech whose shares were issued and paid up by way of capitalization of the said interest-free loan of $1,351,500 provided by these former shareholders. China Bio-Tech has a direct 100% equity interest in ZY Shenzhen. On February 13, 2019, ZY Shenzhen received approval from the Economic and Trade Bureau of Beijing, the PRC, on the acquisition of BF Beijing.

Since China Bio-Tech and its subsidiaries have effectively been controlled by the same group of shareholders before and after the reorganization, they are considered under common control. The above-mentioned transactions have been accounted for as recapitalization of BF Beijing with no adjustment to the historical basis of the assets and liabilities of BF Beijing and the operations were consolidated as though the transaction occurred as of the beginning of the first accounting period presented in these financial statements. For the purpose of presenting the financial statements on a consistent basis, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the Company, ZY Shenzhen and ZY HK had been in existence since the beginning of the earliest period presented and throughout the whole periods covered by these financial statements.

Non-controlling interest represents the portion of the net assets of a subsidiaries attributable to interests that are not owned by the Company. The non-controlling interest is presented in the consolidated balance sheets, separately from equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company. Non-controlling interest’s operating result is presented on the face of the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as an allocation of the total income for the year between non-controlling shareholders and the shareholders of the Company.
