The following diagram illustrates our corporate structure as of December 31, 2017:
Overview
We are dedicated to integrating and managing global healthcare services and resources, as well as empowering high-impact biomedical
innovations and technologies to accelerate their clinical applications. Operating through two major platforms, namely “Avalon Cell”, and
“Avalon Rehab”, our “Technology + Service” ecosystem covers the areas of regenerative medicine, cell-based immunotherapy, exosome
technology, as well as rehabilitation medicine.
In addition, we are engaged in the development of exosome technology to improve diagnosis and management of diseases. Exosomes are
tiny, subcellular, membrane-bound vesicles in diameter of 30-150 nm that are released by almost all cell types and that can carry membrane
and cellular proteins, as well as genetic materials that are representative of the cell of origin. Profiling various bio-molecules in exosomes
may serve as useful biomarkers for a wide variety of diseases. Our isolation system is designed to be used by researchers for biomarker
discovery and clinical diagnostic development, and the advancement of targeted therapies. Currently, isolation systems and service are
available to isolate exosomes or extract exosomal RNA/protein from serum/plasma, urine and saliva samples. We are seeking to decode
proteomic and genomic alterations underlying a wide-range of pathologies, thus allowing for the introduction of novel non-invasive “liquid
biopsies”. Our mission is focused toward diagnostic advancements in the fields of oncology, infectious diseases and fibrotic diseases, and
discovery of disease-specific exosomes to provide disease origin insight necessary to enable personalized clinical management. There is no
guarantee that we will be able to successfully achieve our stated mission.
We currently produce revenue by selling exosome isolation systems in China and the U.S through our Joint Venture GenExosome
Technologies, Inc. In addition, we provide medical related consulting services in advanced areas of immunotherapy and second
opinion/referral services through our wholly owned subsidiary Avalon (Shanghai) Healthcare Technology Co., Ltd. (“Avalon Shanghai”).
We also own and operate commercial real estate in New Jersey where we are headquartered.
The value of the Renminbi (“RMB”), the main currency used in China, fluctuates and is affected by, among other things, changes in
China’s political and economic conditions. The conversion of RMB into foreign currencies such as the U.S. dollar have generally been
based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China, which are set daily based on the previous day’s interbank foreign exchange market rates
and current exchange rates on the world financial markets.

Our Markets
Avalon GloboCare is dedicated to integrating and managing global healthcare services and resources, as well as empowering high-impact
biomedical innovations and technologies to accelerate their clinical applications. Operating through two major platforms, namely “Avalon
Cell”, and “Avalon Rehab”, our “Technology + Service” ecosystem covers the areas of regenerative medicine, cell-based immunotherapy,
exosome technology, as well as rehabilitation medicine. We plan to integrate these services through joint ventures and accretive
acquisitions that bring shareholder value both in the short term, through operational entities as part of Avalon Rehab and long term, through
biomedical innovation development as part of Avalon Cell, such as our recent Joint Venture for the advancement of exosome isolation
systems and related products.
Sales and Marketing
We seek to develop new business through relationships driven by our senior management, which have extensive contacts throughout the
healthcare system. Our senior management will be seeking opportunities for joint ventures, strategic relationships and acquisitions in
consulting, biomedical innovations, and telemedicine, and rehabilitation centers.
Services
We currently produce revenue through related party strategic relationships through Avalon Shanghai that provide consultative services in
advanced areas of immunotherapy and second opinion/referral services. Our services include research studies; executive education; daily
online executive briefings; tailored expert advisory services; and consulting and management services. We typically charge an annual fee.
Through our services we attempt to focus our clients on important problems by providing an analysis of the evolving healthcare industry
and the methods prevalent in the industry to solve those problems through counsel, business planning and support. We plan to expand our
business services throughout the United States via our two major “Technology + Service” platforms, “Avalon Cell”, and “Avalon Rehab”.
Strategic Partnerships
We are actively seeking potential strategic partnerships in our area of focus. In addition, we are actively seeking target acquisitions that add
accretive value to our strategic plan. There is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully sign a definitive agreement, close or
implement such business arrangement. Through our recent Joint Venture in the area of exosome technology, we are actively developing
strategic relationships for the distribution and sale of our exosome isolation system and for the commercialization of exosome related
products and diagnostic services.
Markets
The Company will focus on the following markets in developing its core business:
Platform “Avalon Cell”
Regarded as the future of medicine, the Company believes cell-based therapeutics will replace pharmaceuticals as a more effective and
functional modality in disease treatment. Avalon is actively engaging in this revolutionary trend and positioning to take a leading role in
cell-based technology and therapeutics. The business model for our “Avalon Cell” platform is based on stringent criteria in selection and
evaluation of candidate projects at different stages of their developmental cycle. We particularly focus on projects with strong intellectual
property and distinctive innovation, translational, application-driven, as well as commercialization-ready. Our technology-based platform,
“Avalon Cell”, comprises four programs:
● Exosome technology, small extracellular vesicles that have great potential to be used as a vehicle for drug delivery for the treatment
of various diseases and biomarkers for early stage diagnosis. The Company has commenced developing collaborative sites at Weill
Cornell Medical College, MD Anderson Cancer Center and Mayo Clinic in the United States, as well as Lu Daopei Hospital of
Daopei Medical Group (DPMG) and Da An Gene Co, Ltd. (Shenzhen, China), focused on exosome-based diagnostics, therapeutics,
bio-banking, as well as “Exosomics Big Data”, in the unmet areas of oral cancer, ovary cancer and liver fibrosis);
● Endothelial cell, namely therapeutics involving the cells that line blood vessels and regulate exchanges between the bloodstream
and surrounding tissue. These programs will occur with our collaborative sites at Weill Cornell Medical College Department of
Pathology and Ansary Stem Cell Institute, focusing on standardization of EC banking and therapeutics;
● Regenerative medicine; and Cell-based immunotherapy (including cells such as NK, DC-CIK, CAR-T…etc).
Platform Avalon Rehab
A growing trend in China is in the sector of rehabilitation medicine. With our strong capability in integrating global technology and
resources in physical medicine and rehabilitation, Avalon will position to take a leading role in this area through our “Avalon Rehab”
platform: a turnkey, full suite of rehab services including PT, OT, robotic engineering, cybernectics, and clinical nutrition. Avalon will also
engage in strategic partnership with our institutional clients, building the leading and most authoritative network of integrated physical
medicine and rehabilitation, particularly for cancer rehab patients. Our initial flagship clinical bases for Avalon Rehab include: Hebei
Yanda Lu Daopei Hospital, Beijing Lu Daopei Hospital, and Beijing Daopei Hematology Hospital, with participating strategic partners MD
Anderson Cancer Center and Kessler Rehabilitation Institute. Focus will be on accretive acquisitions and joint venture strategic
partnerships that are in revenue generating, cash flow positive positions to support biomedical innovation development while providing
immediate shareholder value.

Avalon RT 9 Properties, LLC
In May 2017, the Company acquired commercial property located in Freehold, New Jersey. This property is now the Avalon corporate
headquarters and contains several commercial tenants that generate revenue through rental income. The revenue generated from the
commercial tenants in its Freehold, New Jersey headquarters is facilitated through a management agreement with a company, which is
controlled by Wenzhao Lu, the Company’s major shareholder and chairman of the Board of Directors, based in the USA.
Avalon Shanghai
We currently produce revenue by providing medical related consulting services in advanced areas of immunotherapy and second
opinion/referral services through Avalon (Shanghai) Healthcare Technology Co., Ltd. (“Avalon Shanghai”). Our medical related consulting
services include research studies; executive education; daily online executive briefings; tailored expert advisory services; and consulting
and management services. We typically charge an annual fee. Through our services we attempt to focus our clients on important problems
by providing an analysis of the evolving healthcare industry and the methods prevalent in the industry to solve those problems through
counsel, business planning and support. The revenue generated from its related parties in China are managed through its employees
residing in China and through contactors that are retained as needed. We have several service and consulting contracts with related parties
in China. These related parties primarily have relationships with our Chairman and CEO. Some of these contracts expire March 31, 2018,
however it is expected that the majority will automatically renew. There are three such major revenue generating sources in China.
● Nanshan Memorial Stem Cell Biotechnology Co., Ltd. ( “NMSCB”), which is a related party to our Chairman. We have been
outsourced by NMSCB to provide consulting and advisory services to enhance their business and international status. According to
our service contract with NMSCB, we will continue to provide such consulting and advisory services to NMSCB to further enhance
the business operation as well as the international status of their Wuhan Biolake Stem Cell Bank.
● Hebei Yanda Ludaopei Hospital Co., Ltd. (“HYLH”), which is a related party to the Chairman. We have been outsourced by HYLH
to provide consulting and advisory services to develop and facilitate several events and programs for the Hebei Yanda Ludaopei
Hospital. According to our service contract with HYLH, we will continue to provide such consulting and advisory services to
HYLH to facilitate their clinical programs in telemedicine and rehabilitation, as well as international academic/clinical
collaborations, training, and knowledge exchange.
● Daopei Investment Management (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (herein referred to as “DIMS”), which is a related party to the Chairman. We
have been outsourced by DIMS to provide consulting and advisory services to enhance their “Ludaopei” branding via network
partnership, as well as to develop long-range integration of hematology/oncology programs with other hospitals in China.
According to our service contract with LIMS, we will continue to provide such consulting and advisory services to LIMS to
facilitate the “Ludaopei” brand expansion with respect to facilitating the operation and management of existing network Ludaopei
Hematology-Oncology Centers, as well as to develop further qualified “Ludaopei” network partnership in China.
6
Strategic Development
We intend to focus on three components. The initial component will be focused on acquiring and/or managing fixed assets including
healthcare real estate as well as stem cell banks. In addition, we intend to pursue the acquisition and development of healthcare related
technologies through acquisition, licensing or joint ventures. We will also consider a third avenue of investing in certain technologies.
Intellectual Property
Through GenExosome, we own four patents in China with related trademarks. We are in the process of applying for those same patents and
trademarks in the United States and are also in the process of developing additional patents and related intellectual property. We own and
control a variety of trade secrets, confidential information, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights that,
in the aggregate, are of material importance to our business. We consider our trademarks, service marks, and other intellectual property to
be proprietary, and rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, trade secret, non-disclosure, and contractual safeguards to protect our
intellectual property rights.
Competition
GenExosome Technologies, Inc.
We currently market for sale of our proprietary Exosome isolation system. There are other companies that produce Exosome isolation
systems. However, our internal analysis shows that most Exosome isolation systems use a centrifuge process for isolation which takes
several hours and results in a low purity. Our isolation system is a membrane system which isolates exosomes in a few minutes with a
higher purity than competing systems.
We believe that our proprietary isolation system is superior to competing systems and plan to continue to improve our process to maintain
competitive advantages in the market.
Avalon Shanghai
In our current consulting business in the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”), we compete with a number of advisory firm
offering similar service including consulting and strategy firms; market research, data, benchmarking, and forecasting providers;
technology vendors and services firms; health care information technology firms; technology advisory firms; outsourcing firms; and
specialized providers of educational and training services. Other organizations, such as state and national trade associations, group
purchasing organizations, non-profit think-tanks, and database companies, also may offer research, consulting, tools, and education services
to health care and education organizations.
We believe that the principal competitive factors in our market include quality and timeliness of our services, strength and depth of
relationships with our clients, ability to meet the changing needs of current and prospective clients, measurable returns on customer
investment, and service and affordability.
As our business develops and we expand through joint ventures, acquisitions and strategic partnerships in the U.S and PRC, we will have
competition with other direct service providers, emerging technologies and medical communication platforms. Avalon will seek to maintain
a competitive advantage through intellectual property, superior quality management and cutting edge technology.
Rt. 9 Properties, LLC.
Our executive commercial building in Freehold, New Jersey is located on a major highway and is one of the largest buildings in the
surrounding areas. It is centrally located and maintains high occupancy. There are other commercial properties in the vicinity that offer
similar amenities. However, premier executive offices are limited and as such we expect to continue to maintain high occupancy in the near
term.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are subject to ordinary routine litigation incidental to our normal business operations. We are not currently a party to,
and our property is not subject to, any material legal proceedings.
Employees
As of March 12, 2018, we employed 13 employees, seven of which are full time employees. None of our employees are represented by a
collective bargaining arrangement.
Government Regulation
The health care industry in the PRC and U.S. is highly regulated and subject to changing political, legislative, regulatory, and other
influences. Further, the healthcare industry is currently undergoing rapid change. We are uncertain how, when or in what context these new
changes will be adopted or implemented. These new regulations could create unexpected liabilities for us, could cause us or our members
to incur additional costs and could restrict our or our clients’ operations. Many of the laws are complex and their application to us, our
clients, or the specific services and relationships we have with our members are not always clear. Our failure to anticipate accurately the
application of these laws and regulations, or our other failure to comply, could create liability for us, result in adverse publicity, and
otherwise negatively affect our business.
7
Despite efforts to develop its legal system over the past several decades, including but not limited to legislation dealing with economic
matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade, the PRC continues to lack a
comprehensive system of laws. Further, the laws that do exist in the PRC are often vague, ambiguous and difficult to enforce, which could
negatively affect our ability to do business in China and compete with other companies in our segments.
In September 2006, the Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”) promulgated the Regulations on Foreign Investors’ Mergers and
Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises (“M&A Regulations”) in an effort to better regulate foreign investment in PRC. The M&A
Regulations were adopted in part as a needed codification of certain joint venture formation and operating practices, and also in response to
the government’s increasing concern about protecting domestic companies in perceived key industries and those associated with national
security, as well as the outflow of well-known trademarks, including traditional Chinese brands.
As a U.S. based company doing business in PRC, we seek to comply with all PRC laws, rules and regulations and pronouncements, and
endeavor to obtain all necessary approvals from applicable PRC regulatory agencies such as the MOFCOM, the State Assets Supervision
and Administration Commission, the State Administration for Taxation, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the China
Securities Regulatory Commission, and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”).
Company History
On October 19, 2016, we entered into and closed a Share Exchange Agreement with the shareholders of Avalon Healthcare System, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“AHS”), each of which are accredited investors (“AHS Shareholders”) pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the
outstanding securities of AHS in exchange for 50,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “AHS Acquisition”). Considering that,
following the acquisition, the AHS Shareholders control the majority of our outstanding voting common stock and we effectively
succeeded our otherwise minimal operations to those that are theirs, AHS is considered the accounting acquirer in this reverse-acquisition
transaction. A reverse-acquisition transaction is considered, and accounted for as, a capital transaction in substance; it is equivalent to the
issuance of AHS securities for our net monetary assets, which are deminimus, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, we have not
recognized any goodwill or other intangible assets in connection with this reverse acquisition transaction. AHS is the surviving and
continuing entities and the historical financials following the reverse acquisition transaction will be those of AHS. We were a “shell
company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) immediately prior to our
acquisition of AHS pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement. AHS owns 100% of the capital stock of Avalon (Shanghai)
Healthcare Technology Co., Ltd. (“Avalon Shanghai”), which is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise organized under the laws of the PRC.
Avalon Shanghai was incorporated on April 29, 2016 and is engaged in medical related consulting services for customers. Consequently,
we believe that acquisition has caused us to cease to be a shell company as we no longer have nominal operations.
On September 29, 2016, effective October 18, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation (the
“Certificate”) with the State of Delaware to (i) effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding and authorized shares of common stock at a
ratio of 1 for 4 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and (ii) effectuate a name change (“Name Change”). Fractional shares that resulted from the
Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the next highest number. As a result of the Name Change, the Company’s name changed from
“Global Technologies Corp.” to “Avalon GloboCare Corp.”. The Certificate was approved by the majority of the Company’s shareholders
and by the Board of Directors of the Company. The effective date of the Reverse Stock Split and the Name Change was October 18, 2016.
In connection with the above, the Company filed an Issuer Company-Related Action Notification Form with the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority. The Reverse Stock Split and the Name Change were implemented by FINRA on October 18, 2016. Our symbol on
the OTCQB was GTHCD for 20 business days from October 18, 2016 (the “Notification Period”). Following the Notification Period, our
symbol was changed to “AVCO”. Our new CUSIP number is 05344R 104.
On December 22, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement of Sale (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Freehold Craig Road
Partnership (“Seller”), a New Jersey partnership, to purchase certain real property located in the Township of Freehold, County of
Monmouth, State of New Jersey, having a street address of 4400 Route 9 South, Freehold, NJ 07728 (the “Property”). All rights under the
Purchase Agreement were assigned by the Company to Avalon RT 9 Properties, LLC, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (“Avalon
RT 9”). Avalon Properties closed on the purchase of the Property on May 5, 2017. The purchase price including adjustments paid by the
Company for the Property was $7.65 million in cash. The Seller also assigned all lease agreements for all tenants on the Property to Avalon
RT 9.
In July 2017, the Company formed GenExosome Technologies Inc., a Nevada corporation (“GenExosome”). On September 29, 2017, Dr.
David K. Jin was appointed as the sole director and as the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Medical Officer and President, Meng Li was
appointed as Chief Operating Officer and Secretary and Luisa Ingargiola was appointed as Chief Financial Officer. On October 25, 2017,
GenExosome and the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired 600 shares of
GenExosome in consideration of $1,326,087 in cash and 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
On October 25, 2017, GenExosome entered into and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Yu Zhou, MD, PhD, pursuant to which the
Company acquired all assets, including all intellectual property, held by Dr. Zhou pertaining to the business of researching, developing and
commercializing exosome technologies including, but not limited to, patent application number CN 2016 1 0675107.5 (application of an
Exosomal MicroRNA in plasma as biomarker to diagnosis liver cancer), patent application number CN 2016 1 0675110.7 (clinical
application of circulating exosome carried miRNA-33b in the diagnosis of liver cancer), patent application number CN 2017 1 0330847.X
(saliva exosome based methods and composition for the diagnosis, staging and prognosis of oral cancer) and patent application number CN
2017 1 0330835.7 (a novel exosome-based therapeutics against proliferative oral diseases). In consideration of the assets, GenExosome
agreed to pay Dr. Zhou $876,087 in cash no later than November 24, 2017, transfer 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company to
Dr. Zhou no later than November 24, 2017 and issue Dr. Zhou 400 shares of common stock of GenExosome no later than November 24,
2017. The above transactions have since been completed and and as a result, the Company holds 60% of GenExosome and Dr. Zhou holds
40% of GenExosome.

On October 25, 2017, GenExosome entered into and closed a Stock Purchase Agreement with Beijing Jieteng (GenExosome) Biotech Co.
Ltd., a corporation incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“Beijing GenExosome”) and Dr. Zhou, the sole shareholder of Beijing
GenExosome, pursuant to which GenExosome acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of Beijing GenExosome in
consideration of a cash payment in the amount of $450,000, which shall be paid upon Beijing GenExosome recording the change in
ownership with the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China in accordance with the Interim Measures for Record
Management regarding the Establishment and Change of Foreign-invested Enterprises (revised).
On October 25, 2017, GenExosome increased its size of its board of directors from one to four and appointed Wenzhao “Daniel” Lu, Meng
Li and Dr. Zhou to the board of directors. In addition, Dr. Zhou was appointed as Co-Chief Executive Officer of GenExosome.
On October 25, 2017, Dr. Zhou and GenExosome entered into an Executive Retention Agreement pursuant to which Dr. Zhou agreed to
serve as Co-Chief Executive Officer in consideration of an annual salary of $160,000. Dr. Zhou and GenExosome also entered into an
Invention Assignment, Confidentiality, Non-Compete and Non-Solicit Agreement.
Beijing GenExosome is engaged in the development of exosome technology to improve diagnosis and management of diseases. Exosomes
are tiny, subcellular, membrane-bound vesicles in diameter of 30-150 nm that are released by almost all cell types and that can carry
membrane and cellular proteins, as well as genetic materials that are representative of the cell of origin. Profiling various bio-molecules in
exosomes may serve as useful biomarkers for a wide variety of diseases. Beijing GenExosome’s research kits are designed to be used by
researchers for biomarker discovery and clinical diagnostic development, and the advancement of targeted therapies. Currently, research
kits and service are available to isolate exosomes or extract exosomal RNA/protein from serum/plasma, urine and saliva samples. Beijing
GenExosome is seeking to decode proteomic and genomic alterations underlying a wide-range of pathologies, thus allowing for the
introduction of novel non-invasive “liquid biopsies”. Its mission is focused toward diagnostic advancements in the fields of oncology,
infectious diseases and fibrotic diseases, and discovery of disease-specific exosomes to provide disease origin insight necessary to enable
personalized clinical management. There is no guarantee that Beijing GenExosome will be able to successfully achieve its stated mission.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the following material risk factors as well as all other information set forth or referred to in this report
before purchasing shares of our common stock. Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. The Company believes
all material risk factors have been presented below. If any of the following events or outcomes actually occurs, our business operating
results and financial condition would likely suffer. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose
all or part of the money you paid to purchase our common stock.
General Operating and Business Risks
Our limited operating history makes it difficult for us to evaluate our future business prospects and make decisions based on those
estimates of our future performance.
We did not begin operations of our business through AHS until May 2015. We have a limited operating history and limited revenue. As a
consequence, it is difficult, if not impossible, to forecast our future results based upon our historical data. Reliance on the historical results
may not be representative of the results we will achieve, particularly in our combined form. Because of the uncertainties related to our lack
of historical operations, we may be hindered in our ability to anticipate and timely adapt to increases or decreases in revenues or expenses.
If we make poor budgetary decisions as a result of unreliable historical data, we could be less profitable or incur losses, which may result
in a decline in our stock price.
Our results of operations have not resulted in profitability and we may not be able to achieve profitability going forward.
We incurred a net loss amounting to $4,049,645 for the year ended December 31, 2017. If we incur additional significant losses, our stock
price, may decline, perhaps significantly. Our management is developing plans to achieve profitability. Our business plan is speculative and
unproven. There is no assurance that we will be successful in executing our business plan or that even if we successfully implement our
business plan, that we will be able to curtail our losses now or in the future. Further, as we are a new enterprise, we expect that net losses
will continue and our working capital deficit will increase.
We depend upon key personnel and need additional personnel.
Our success depends on the continuing services of Wenzhao Lu, David Jin, Meng Li and Luisa Ingargiola, our executive officers and
directors. The loss of Mr. Lu, Dr. Jin, Ms. Li or Ms. Ingariola could have a material and adverse effect on our business operations.
Additionally, the success of the Company’s operations will largely depend upon its ability to successfully attract and maintain competent
and qualified key management personnel. As with any company with limited resources, there can be no guaranty that the Company will be
able to attract such individuals or that the presence of such individuals will necessarily translate into profitability for the Company. Our
inability to attract and retain key personnel may materially and adversely affect our business operations.
9
Currently, we have several service and consulting contracts with related parties in China. The loss of such customers could adversely impact
our financial condition and results of operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, we recognized an aggregate of $1,077,550 in revenue, of which $222,611 was generated from related
parties. Wenzhao Lu, our Chairman and significant shareholder, is the Chairman of each of the related parties. Although we maintain close working
relationships with our related party customers, the consulting agreements expire March 31, 2018. The loss of any related party customer would have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operation, the loss of more than one such related party customer, or our failure to replace
such customer with other customers, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our results of operations.
Our auditors have issued a “going concern” audit opinion.
Our independent auditors have indicated, in their report on our December 31, 2017 consolidated financial statements, that there is
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $3,517,654 at December 31,
2017. The Company has a limited operating history and its continued growth is dependent upon the continuation of providing medical
consulting services to three related parties, generating rental revenue from its income-producing real estate property in New Jersey and
generating revenue from proprietary Exosome Isolation Systems by developing proprietary diagnostic and therapeutic products leveraging
exosome technology; hence generating revenues, and obtaining additional financing to fund future obligations and pay liabilities arising
from normal business operations. In addition, the current cash balance cannot be projected to cover the operating expenses for the next
twelve months from the filing date of this report. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital,
implement its business plan, and generate significant revenues. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in its efforts to
generate significant revenues, maintain sufficient cash balance or report profitable operations or to continue as a going concern. The
Company plans on raising capital through the sale of equity or debt instruments to implement its business plan. However, there is no
assurance these plans will be realized and that any additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and
conditions, if any.
We must effectively manage the growth of our operations, or our company will suffer.
To manage our growth, we believe we must continue to implement and improve our services and products. We may not have adequately
evaluated the costs and risks associated with our planned expansion, and our systems, procedures, and controls may not be adequate to
support our operations. In addition, our management may not be able to achieve the rapid execution necessary to successfully offer our
products and services and implement our business plan on a profitable basis. The success of our future operating activities will also depend
upon our ability to expand our support system to meet the demands of our growing business. Any failure by our management to effectively
anticipate, implement, and manage changes required to sustain our growth would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, and results of operations.
Our business requires substantial capital, and if we are unable to maintain adequate financing sources our profitability and
financial condition will suffer and jeopardize our ability to continue operations.
In connection with the strategic development portion of our business, we will need significant capital in order to implement acquisitions of
technologies. In addition, we will need a significant amount of capital in order to fully implement our advisory business, maintain our rental
property and further develop our Exosome business. If we are unable to maintain adequate financing or other sources of capital are not
available, we could be forced to suspend, curtail or reduce our operations, which could harm our revenues, profitability, financial condition
and business prospects.
Our revenue and results of operations may suffer if we are unable to attract new clients, continue to engage existing clients, or sell
additional products and services.
We presently derive our revenue from providing medical related consulting services to related parties, generating rental revenue from our
income-producing real estate property in New Jersey and generating revenue from proprietary Exosome Isolation Systems by developing
proprietary diagnostic and therapeutic products leveraging exosome technology. Our growth therefore depends on our ability to attract new
clients, maintain existing clients and properties and sell additional products and services to existing clients. This depends on our ability to
understand and anticipate market and pricing trends and our clients’ needs and our ability to deliver consistent, reliable, high-quality
services. If we fail to engage new clients, continue to re-engage with our existing clients or to cross-sell additional services our results could
be materially and adversely affect our operating results.
Our prospects will suffer if we are not able to hire, train, motivate, manage, and retain a significant number of highly skilled
employees.
We only recently commenced business and we presently generate medical related consulting services to related parties, generating rental
revenue from our income-producing real estate property in New Jersey and generating revenue from proprietary Exosome Isolation
Systems by developing proprietary diagnostic and therapeutic products leveraging exosome technology. On the consulting side, Wenzhao
Lu, our Chairman and significant shareholder, is the Chairman of each of the clients in which we provide consulting services. Our future
success depends upon our ability to hire, train, motivate, manage, and retain a significant number of highly skilled employees, particularly
research analysts, technical experts, and sales and marketing staff. We will experience competition for professional personnel in each of our
business lines. Hiring, training, motivating, managing, and retaining employees with the skills we need is time consuming and expensive.
Any failure by us to address our staffing needs in an effective manner could hinder our ability to continue to provide high-quality products
and services and to grow our business.
10
Potential liability claims may adversely affect our business.
Our services, which may include recommendations and advice to organizations regarding complex business and operational processes and
regulatory and compliance issues may give rise to liability claims by our clients or by third parties who bring claims against our clients.
Healthcare organizations often are the subject of regulatory scrutiny and litigation, and we also may become the subject of such litigation
based on our advice and services. Any such litigation, whether or not resulting in a judgment against us, may adversely affect our reputation
and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We may not have adequate insurance coverage
for claims against us.
In accordance with our strategic development policy, we may invest in companies for strategic reasons and may not realize a return
on our investments.
Similar to the development of our majority owned subsidiary, GenExosome, from time to time, we may make investments in companies.
These investments may be for strategic objectives to support our key business initiatives but may also be stand alone investments or
acquisitions. Such investments or acquisitions could include equity or debt instruments in private companies, many of which may not be
marketable at the time of our initial investment. These companies may range from early-stage companies that are often still defining their
strategic direction to more mature companies with established revenue streams and business models. The success of these companies may
depend on product development, market acceptance, operational efficiency, and other key business factors. The companies in which we
invest may fail because they may not be able to secure additional funding, obtain favorable investment terms for future financings, or take
advantage of liquidity events such as public offerings, mergers, and private sales. If any of these private companies fails, we could lose all
or part of our investment in that company. If we determine that impairment indicators exist and that there are other-than-temporary declines
in the fair value of the investments, we may be required to write down the investments to their fair value and recognize the related write-
down as an investment loss.
Our growing operations in the PRC could expose us to risks that could have an adverse effect on our costs of operations.
Our client base is presently located in the PRC. We intend to grow this client base in the PRC as well as the United States. As a result, we
expect to continue to add personnel in the PRC. With a significant focus of our operations in the PRC, our reliance on a workforce in the
PRC exposes us to disruptions in the business, political, and economic environment in that region. Maintenance of a stable political
environment between the PRC and the United States is important to our operations, and any disruption in this relationship may directly
negatively affect our operations. Our operations in the PRC require us to comply with complex local laws and regulatory requirements and
expose us to foreign currency exchange rate risk. Our operations may also be subject to reduced or inadequate protection of our intellectual
property rights, and security breaches. Further, it may be difficult to transfer funds from our Chinese operations to our US parent company.
Negative developments in any of these areas could increase our costs of operations or otherwise harm our business.
We face intense competition which could cause us to lose market share.
In the healthcare markets in the United States and the Peoples Republic of China, we will compete with large healthcare providers who
have more significant financial resources, established market positions, long-standing relationships, and who have more significant name
recognition, technical, marketing, sales, distribution, financial and other resources than we do. The resources available to our competitors to
develop new services and products and introduce them into the marketplace exceed the resources currently available to us. This intense
competitive environment may require us to make changes in our services, products, pricing, licensing, services, distribution, or marketing
to develop a market position.
Our success is heavily dependent on protecting our intellectual property rights.
Through GenExosome, we own four patents in China with related trademarks. We are in the process of applying for those same patents and
trademarks in the United States and are also in the process of developing additional patents and related intellectual property. We own and
control a variety of trade secrets, confidential information, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights that,
in the aggregate, are of material importance to our business. We consider our trademarks, service marks, and other intellectual property to
be proprietary, and rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, trade secret, non-disclosure, and contractual safeguards to protect our
intellectual property rights. Our success will, in part, depend on our ability to obtain trademarks and patents. We have also entered into
confidentiality agreements with our employees and consultants. We cannot be certain that others will not gain access to these trade secrets
or that our patents will provide adequate protection. Others may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information
and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets.
We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act or Chinese anti-corruption law could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to
foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of
obtaining or retaining business. Chinese anti-corruption law also strictly prohibits bribery of government officials. We have operations,
agreements with third parties and make sales in China, where corruption may occur. Our activities in China create the risk of unauthorized
payments or offers of payments by one of the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our company, even though these
parties are not always subject to our control. It is our policy to implement safeguards to prevent these practices by our employees. However,
our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, sales agents or
distributors of our company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible.
11
Violations of the FCPA or other anti-corruption laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other
liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the United States government
may seek to hold our company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we
acquire.
Risks Related to Doing Business in China
If we become directly subject to the recent scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity involving certain U.S.-listed Chinese
companies, we may have to expend significant resources to investigate and resolve the matter which could harm our business
operations, stock price and reputation and could result in a loss of your investment in our stock, especially if such matter cannot be
addressed and resolved quickly.
Recently, U.S. public companies that have substantially all of their operations in China, particularly companies like us which have
completed so-called reverse merger transactions, have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity by investors,
short sellers, financial commentators and regulatory agencies, such as the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Much of the
scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity has centered around financial and accounting irregularities and mistakes, a lack of effective
internal controls over financial accounting, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto and, in many cases,
allegations of fraud. As a result of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity, the publicly traded stock of many U.S. listed Chinese
companies has sharply decreased in value and, in some cases, has become virtually worthless. Many of these companies are now subject to
shareholder lawsuits, SEC enforcement actions and are conducting internal and external investigations into the allegations. It is not clear
what affect this sector-wide scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity will have on our company, our business and our stock price. If we
become the subject of any unfavorable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we will have to expend
significant resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend our company. This situation could be costly and time consuming and
distract our management from growing our company. If such allegations are not proven to be groundless, our company and business
operations will be severely impacted and your investment in our stock could be rendered worthless.
Adverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could impede the overall economic growth of China,
which could reduce the demand for our products and damage our business.
Presently, we generate our revenue in China although we intend to pursue various opportunities in the United States and our headquarters is
based in the United States. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are affected significantly by
economic, political and legal developments in China. The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many
respects, including:
● the higher level of government involvement;
● the early stage of development of the market-oriented sector of the economy;
● the rapid growth rate;
● the higher level of control over foreign exchange; and
● the allocation of resources.
As the PRC economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy, the PRC government has
implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. While these measures may benefit the
overall PRC economy, they may also have a negative effect on us or the healthcare industry in general.
Although the PRC government has in recent years implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic
reform, the PRC government continues to exercise significant control over economic growth in China through the allocation of resources,
controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and imposing policies that impact particular
industries or companies in different ways.
Any adverse change in the economic conditions or government policies in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall
economic growth and the level of new healthcare investments and expenditures in China, which in turn could lead to a reduction in demand
for our services and consequently have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.
Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could limit the legal protections available to you and us.
We conduct substantially all of our business through our operating subsidiary in the PRC. Our operating subsidiary is generally subject to
laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws applicable to foreign-invested enterprises. The PRC
legal system is based on written statutes, and prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since
1979, a series of new PRC laws and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign
investments in China. However, since the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and
rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involve uncertainties, which may limit legal protections
available to you and us. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and
management attention. In addition, all of our executive officers and almost all of our directors are residents of China and not of the United
States, and substantially all the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it could be difficult for investors to
affect service of process in the United States or to enforce a judgment obtained in the United States against our Chinese operations and
subsidiary.
12
The PRC government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.
The PRC 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 operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations. 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, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a
more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect
on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof.
We may be unable to complete a business combination transaction efficiently or on favorable terms due to complicated merger and
acquisition regulations implemented on September 8, 2006.
The recent PRC Regulation on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors also governs the approval process
by which a PRC company may participate in an acquisition of its assets or its equity interests. Depending on the structure of the
transaction, the new regulation will require the Chinese parties to make a series of applications and supplemental applications to the
government agencies. In some instances, the application process may require the presentation of economic data concerning a transaction,
including appraisals of the target business and evaluations of the acquirer, which are designed to allow the government to assess the
transaction. Government approvals will have expiration dates by which a transaction must be completed and reported to the government
agencies. Compliance with the new regulations is likely to be more time consuming and expensive than in the past and the government can
now exert more control over the combination of two businesses. Accordingly, due to the new regulation, our ability to engage in business
combination transactions is extremely complicated, time consuming and expensive, and we may not be able to negotiate a transaction that is
acceptable to our stockholders or sufficiently protect their interests in a transaction.
The new regulation allows PRC government agencies to assess the economic terms of a business combination transaction. Parties to a
business combination transaction may have to submit to MOFCOM and the other government agencies an appraisal report, an evaluation
report and the acquisition agreement, all of which form part of the application for approval, depending on the structure of the transaction.
The regulations also prohibit a transaction at an acquisition price obviously lower than the appraised value of the Chinese business or assets
and in certain transaction structures, require that consideration must be paid within defined periods, generally not in excess of a year. The
regulation also limits our ability to negotiate various terms of the acquisition, including aspects of the initial consideration, contingent
consideration, holdback provisions, indemnification provisions and provisions relating to the assumption and allocation of assets and
liabilities. Transaction structures involving trusts, nominees and similar entities are prohibited. Therefore, such regulation may impede our
ability to negotiate and complete a business combination transaction on financial terms that satisfy our investors and protect our
stockholders’ economic interests.
Under the Current Enterprise Income Tax, or EIT, Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of China. Such
classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC stockholders.
We are a holding company incorporated under the laws of Delaware. We conduct substantially all of our business through our wholly-
owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, and we derive all of our income from these entities. Prior to January 1, 2008, dividends derived by
foreign enterprises from business operations in China were not subject to the Chinese enterprise income tax. However, such tax exemption
ceased as of January 1, 2008 and thereafter with the effectiveness of the new Enterprise Income Tax Law, or EIT Law.
Under the EIT Law, if we are not deemed to be a “resident enterprise” for Chinese tax purposes, a withholding tax at the rate of 10% would
be applicable to any dividends paid by our Chinese subsidiaries to us. However, if we are deemed to be a “resident enterprise” established
outside of China whose “place of effective management” is located in China, we would be classified as a resident enterprise for Chinese
tax purposes and thus would be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on all of our income on a worldwide basis.
The regulations promulgated pursuant to the EIT Law define the term “place of effective management” as “establishments that carry out
substantial and overall management and control over the manufacturing and business operations, personnel, accounting, properties, etc. of
an enterprise.” The State Administration of Taxation issued a SAT Circular 82 on April 22, 2009, which provides that the “place of
effective management” of a Chinese-controlled overseas-incorporated enterprise is located in China if the following requirements are
satisfied: (i) the senior management and core management departments in charge of its daily operations function are mainly located in the
PRC; (ii) its financial and human resources decisions are subject to determination or approval by persons or bodies located in the PRC; (iii)
its major assets, accounting books, company seals, and minutes and files of its board and shareholders’ meetings are located or kept in the
PRC; and (iv) no less than half of the enterprise’s directors or senior management with voting rights reside in the PRC. SAT Circular 82
applies only to overseas registered enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises, not to those controlled by PRC individuals. If the Company’s
non-PRC incorporated entities are deemed PRC tax residents, such entities would be subject to PRC tax under the EIT Law. The Company
has analyzed the applicability of the EIT Law and related regulations, and for each of the applicable periods presented, the Company has
not accrued for PRC tax on such basis. In addition, although under the EIT Law and the related regulations dividends paid to us by our
PRC subsidiaries would qualify as “tax-exempted income,” we cannot assure you that such dividends will not be subject to a 10%
withholding tax, as the PRC foreign exchange control authorities, which enforce the withholding tax, have not yet issued guidance with
respect to the processing of outbound remittances to entities that are treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes.
As a result of such changes, our historical operating results will not be indicative of our operating results for future periods and the value of
our shares of common stock may be adversely affected. We are actively monitoring the possibility of “resident enterprise” treatment and
are evaluating appropriate organizational changes to avoid this treatment, to the extent possible.
13
We may be subject to fines and legal sanctions if we or our Chinese employees fail to comply with PRC regulations relating to
employee stock options granted by overseas listed companies to PRC citizens.
On December 25, 2006, the People’s Bank of China issued the Administration Measures on Individual Foreign Exchange Control, and its
Implementation Rules were issued by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) on January 5, 2007. Both took effect on
February 1, 2007. Under these regulations, all foreign exchange matters involved in an employee stock holding plan, stock option plan or
similar plan in which PRC citizens’ participation requires approval from the SAFE or its authorized branch. On March 28, 2007, the SAFE
issued the Application Procedure for Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in Employee Stock Holding
Plans or Stock Option Plans of Overseas Listed Companies, or Notice 78. Under Notice 78, PRC individuals who participate in an
employee stock option holding plan or a stock option plan of an overseas listed company are required, through a PRC domestic agent or
PRC subsidiary of the overseas listed company, to register with the SAFE and complete certain other procedures. If we and our Chinese
employees are granted shares or stock options pursuant to our share incentive plan they would be subject to Notice 78. However, in
practice, there are significant uncertainties with regard to the interpretation and implementation of Notice 78. We are committed to
complying with the requirements of Notice 78. However, we cannot provide any assurance that we or our Chinese employees will be able
to qualify for or obtain any registration required by Notice 78. In particular, if we and/or our Chinese employees fail to comply with the
provisions of Notice 78, we and/or our Chinese employees may be subject to fines and legal sanctions imposed by the SAFE or other PRC
government authorities, as a result of which our business operations and employee option plans could be materially and adversely affected.
The new M&A Rules establish more complex procedures for some acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investor which
could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions in China.
The New M&A Rules that became effective on September 8, 2006 established additional procedures and requirements that could make
merger and acquisition activities by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that the
Ministry of Commerce be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction in which a foreign investor takes control of a PRC
domestic enterprise. Complying with the requirements of the M&A Rules to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any
required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the Ministry of Commerce, may delay or inhibit our ability to complete
such transactions, which could materially adversely affect our ability to grow our business through acquisitions in China.
Risks Relating to our Securities
Our status as an emerging growth company may result in reduced disclosure obligations.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, which we refer to as the JOBS Act, and we
are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting and financial disclosure requirements that are applicable to
other public companies, that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, (1) not being required to comply with the
auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (2) reduced disclosure
obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and (3) exemptions from the requirements of
holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not
previously approved. We intend to take advantage of these exemptions. Because of the reduced disclosure and because a portion of our
business is conducted in China, investors may find investing in our common stock less attractive as a result, which could have an adverse
effect on our stock price.
In addition, Section 102 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition
period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
As a result, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise
apply to private companies. We elected to opt out of such extended transition period and acknowledge such election is irrevocable pursuant
to Section 107 of the JOBS Act.
We could remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (1) the last day of the first fiscal year in which
our annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion, (2) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the
Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the
last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter and we have been publicly reporting for at least 12 months, or (3) the
date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.
14
We are a “smaller reporting company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller
reporting companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are currently a “smaller reporting company”, meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset- backed issuer, or a majority-
owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a non-affiliated public float of less than $75 million
and annual revenues of less than $50.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. In the event that we are still considered a
“smaller reporting company,” at such time as we cease being an “emerging growth company,” we will be required to provide additional
disclosure in our SEC filings. However, similar to an “emerging growth companies”, “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide
simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being
required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports and in a registration statement under the Exchange Act on
Form 10. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to
analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they issue an adverse or misleading
opinion regarding our stock, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us
or our business. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If no or few
securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price for our stock would be negatively impacted. In the event we
obtain securities or industry analyst coverage, if any of the analysts who cover us issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding us, our
business model, our intellectual property or our stock performance, or if our operating results fail to meet the expectations of analysts, our
stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could
lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
We may be exposed to additional risks as a result of “going public” by means of a reverse acquisition transaction.
We may be exposed to additional risks because we became a public company through a “reverse merger” transaction. There has been
increased focus by government agencies on reverse merger transactions in recent years, and we may be subject to increased scrutiny by the
SEC and other government agencies and holders of our securities as a result of the completion of our reverse merger transaction.
Additionally, our “going public” by means of a reverse merger transaction may make it more difficult for us to obtain coverage from
securities analysts of major brokerage firms following the reverse merger transaction because there may be little incentive to those
brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. Further, investment banks may be less likely to agree to underwrite
secondary offerings on our behalf than they might if we became a public reporting company by means of an initial public offering because
they may be less familiar with our company as a result of more limited coverage by analysts and the media, and because we became public
at an early stage in our development. The failure to receive research coverage or support in the market for our shares will have an adverse
effect on our ability to develop a liquid market for our common stock. The occurrence of any such event could cause our business or stock
price to suffer.
Applicable regulatory requirements, including those contained in and issued under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, may make it
difficult for the Company to retain or attract qualified officers and directors, which could adversely affect the management of its
business and its ability to obtain or retain listing of its common stock on a national securities exchange.
The Company may be unable to attract and retain those qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide
for effective management because of the rules and regulations that govern publicly held companies, including, but not limited to,
certifications by principal executive officers. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has resulted in the issuance of a series of related
rules and regulations and the strengthening of existing rules and regulations by the SEC, as well as the adoption of new and more stringent
rules by national securities exchanges. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these changes may deter qualified individuals
from accepting roles as directors and executive officers.
Further, some of these changes heighten the requirements for board or committee membership, particularly with respect to an individual’s
independence from the corporation and level of experience in finance and accounting matters. The Company may have difficulty attracting
and retaining directors with the requisite qualifications. If the Company is unable to attract and retain qualified officers and directors, the
management of its business and its ability to obtain or retain listing of our shares of common stock on any national securities exchange
could be adversely affected.
Any failure to maintain effective internal control over our financial reporting could materially adversely affect us.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to include in our annual reports on Form 10-K an assessment by management of
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, at such time, if any, as we are an “accelerated filer” or a “large
accelerated filer,” and no longer an “emerging growth company,” our independent registered public accounting firm will have to attest to
and report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of such internal control over financial reporting. Our management assessed
our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. Based on such assessment, we concluded that our internal control
over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2017 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles. The material weaknesses we have identified are as follows:
● The Company has not established adequate financial reporting monitoring activities to mitigate the risk of management override,
specifically because there are few employees and only two officers with management functions and therefore there is lack of
segregation of duties.
● There is a strong reliance on outside consultants to review and adjust the annual and quarterly financial statements, to monitor new
accounting principles, and to ensure compliance with GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
● There is a strong reliance on the external attorneys to review and edit the annual and quarterly filings and to ensure compliance with
SEC disclosure requirements.
● A formal audit committee has not been formed.
Our internal control over financial reporting will not prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Because of the
inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud
will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud will be detected. If we are not able to comply with the requirements of
Section 404 in a timely manner, if we do not remedy the current material weaknesses or if we identify additional material weaknesses in our
internal controls, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, the market price of our stock could decline
and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, or other regulatory authorities.

Our officers, directors and principal stockholders own a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exert significant
control over matters subject to stockholder approval.
As of March 12, 2018, our officers, directors and 5% stockholders and their affiliates beneficially own approximately 74.7% of our
outstanding common shares. As a result, these stockholders will have significant influence and may be able to determine all matters
requiring stockholder approval. For example, these stockholders may be able to control elections of directors, amendments of our
organizational documents, or approval of any merger, sale of assets, or other major corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership
could delay or prevent any acquisition of our company on terms that other stockholders may desire, and may adversely affect the market
price of our common stock.
The ability of our Board of Directors to issue additional stock may prevent or make more difficult certain transactions, including a
sale or merger.
Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with powers, rights and preferences designated by
it. Shares of voting or convertible preferred stock could be issued, or rights to purchase such shares could be issued, to create voting
impediments or to frustrate persons seeking to effect a takeover or otherwise gain control of us. The ability of the Board of Directors to
issue such additional shares of preferred stock, with rights and preferences it deems advisable, could discourage an attempt by a party to
acquire control of us by tender offer or other means. Such issuances could therefore deprive stockholders of benefits that could result from
such an attempt, such as the realization of a premium over the market price for their shares in a tender offer or the temporary increase in
market price that such an attempt could cause. Moreover, the issuance of such additional shares of preferred stock to persons friendly to the
Board of Directors could make it more difficult to remove incumbent managers and directors from office even if such change were to be
favorable to stockholders generally.
You may experience dilution of your ownership interests because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common or
preferred stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for our common or preferred stock.
In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of
our stockholders. We are authorized to issue an aggregate of 490,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of “blank check”
preferred stock. We may issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for our
common stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising
purposes, or for other business purposes. The future issuance of any such additional shares of our common stock may create downward
pressure on the trading price of the common stock. We expect we will need to raise additional capital in the near future to meet our
working capital needs, and there can be no assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares, warrants or other convertible
securities in the future in conjunction with these capital raising efforts, including at a price (or exercise prices) below the price you paid for
your stock.
We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock, and investors may lose the entire amount of their investment.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not anticipate such a declaration or payment for the
foreseeable future.
We expect to use future earnings, if any, to fund business growth. Therefore, stockholders will not receive any funds absent a sale of their
shares of common stock. We cannot assure stockholders of a positive return on their investment when they sell their shares, nor can we
assure that stockholders will not lose the entire amount of their investment.
The price of our common stock may be volatile and fluctuate substantially, which could result in substantial losses for our
stockholders.
The quoted price of our common stock has been, and we expect it to continue to be, volatile. The stock market in general and the market for
smaller healthcare companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance
of particular companies. As a result of this volatility, you may not be able to sell your shares of common stock at or above the price you
paid for your shares of common stock. The market price for our common stock may be influenced by many factors, including:
● the success of competitive products or technologies;
● developments related to our existing or any future collaborations;
● regulatory or legal developments in the United States, China and other countries;
● developments or disputes concerning patent applications, issued patents or other proprietary rights;
● the recruitment or departure of key personnel;
● actual or anticipated changes in estimates as to financial results or recommendations by securities analysts;
● variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us;
● changes in the structure of healthcare payment systems;
● market conditions in the healthcare, pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors;
● general economic, industry and market conditions; and
● the other factors described in this “Risk Factors” section.
16
We have not voluntary implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which, shareholders may have
more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflict of interest and similar matters.
Recent Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance
measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been
adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities
exchanges, such as the NYSE or the NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance
measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of directors’ independence, audit
committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. We intend to adopt certain corporate governance measures such as a code of
ethics and established an Audit Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and Compensation Committee of our board
of directors. We intend to expand our board membership in future periods to include additional independent directors. It is possible that if
we were to have additional independent directors on our board, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal
corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For
example, in the absence of Audit, Nominating and Compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors,
decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be
made by directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current
lack of both corporate governance measures and additional independent directors in formulating their investment decisions.
There is not now and there may never be an active, liquid and orderly trading market for our common stock, which may make it
difficult for you to sell your shares of our common stock.
Our common stock has been quoted on the OTC Market Group Inc.’s over-the-counter inter-dealer quotation system, known as OTC
Markets, and there is not now, nor has there been since our inception, any significant trading activity in our common stock, and an active
trading market for our shares may never develop or be sustained. Although we may list our securities on a national securities exchange in
the future, an active trading market for our shares may never develop or be sustained following such listing. If an active market for our
common stock does not develop, it may be difficult for you to sell your shares of common stock without depressing the market price for the
shares or at all.
The designation of our common stock as a “penny stock” would limit the liquidity of our common stock.
Our common stock may be deemed a “penny stock” (as that term is defined under Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act) in any market that
may develop in the future. Generally, a “penny stock” is a common stock that is not listed on a securities exchange and trades for less than
$5.00 a share. Prices often are not available to buyers and sellers and the market may be very limited. Penny stocks in start-up companies
are among the riskiest equity investments. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks must provide purchasers of these stocks with a
standardized risk-disclosure document prepared by the SEC. The document provides information about penny stocks and the nature and
level of risks involved in investing in the penny stock market. A broker must also provide purchasers with bid and offer quotations and
information regarding broker and salesperson compensation and make a written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment
for the purchaser and obtain the purchaser’s written agreement to the purchase. Many brokers choose not to participate in penny stock
transactions. Because of the penny stock rules, there may be less trading activity in penny stocks in any market that develops for our
common stock in the future and stockholders are likely to have difficulty selling their shares.
We could be subject to securities class action litigation.
In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its
securities. This risk is especially relevant for us because companies in our industry have experienced significant stock price volatility in
recent years. If we face such litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which
could harm our business.

common stock (the “2016 Subscription Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $3,635,000. The closing occurred on December 19,
2016.
On February 21, 2017, Ms. Ingariola and the Company entered into an Executive Retention Agreement effective February 9, 2017 pursuant
to which Ms. Ingariola agreed to serve as Chief Financial Officer. As partial compensation, the Company granted Ms. Ingariola a Stock
Option to acquire 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for a period of ten years. The
Stock Options vest in 36 equal tranches commencing on the grant date.
The Company entered into and closed a Subscription Agreement with an accredited investor (the “March 2017 Accredited Investor”)
pursuant to which the March 2017 Accredited Investor purchased 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“March 2017
Shares”) for a purchase price of $3,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The closing occurred on March 3, 2017. The Company, Avalon
(Shanghai) Healthcare Technology Co., Ltd. (“Avalon Shanghai”), Beijing DOING Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd. (“DOING”) and the
March 2017 Accredited Investor entered into a Share Subscription Agreement whereby the parties acknowledged, among other things, that
DOING agreed to transfer the Purchase Price to Avalon Shanghai on behalf of the March 2017 Investor and the March 2017 Accredited
Investor agreed to transfer the March 2017 Shares to DOING upon DOING completing the registration of the acquisition of the March
2017 Shares with the Beijing Commerce Commission (“BCC”) and obtaining an Enterprise Overseas Investment Certificate (the
“Investment Certificate”) from BCC. If DOING fails to complete the registration and acquire the Investment Certificate within one year of
the closing then Avalon Shanghai shall transfer $3,000,000 with interest of 20% to DOING upon the request of DOING (the “BCC
Repayment Obligation”). As of the date hereof, the Company is obligated to DOING in the principal amount of $3,000,000. The Company
and DOING are presently negotiating an extension of the BCC Repayment Obligation through July 2018. There is no guarantee that such
extension will be signed. The BCC Repayment Obligation is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which
constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company. Further, Lu Wenzhao, a director and shareholder of the Company, and DOING
entered into a Warranty Agreement. Pursuant to the Warranty Agreement, Mr. Wenzhao agreed to (i) cause the Company to be liable to
DOING in the event the March 2017 Accredited Investor defaults in its obligations to DOING, (ii) cause the March 2017 Accredited
Investor to transfer the March 2017 Shares to DOING upon DOING’s receipt of the Investment Certificate from BCC, (iii) within three

upon three months notice, and (iv) in the event Mr. Wenzhao does not acquire the March 2017 Shares within the three month period,
interest of 15% per annum will be added to the purchase price.

Special Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-K including, without limitation, statements under
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding our financial position, business
strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Form 10-K,
words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management,
identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions
made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the
forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the risk factors and business sections in this
Form 10-K.
Overview
We are dedicated to integrating and managing global healthcare services and resources, as well as empowering high-impact biomedical
innovations and technologies to accelerate their clinical applications. Operating through two major platforms, namely “Avalon Cell”, and
“Avalon Rehab”, our “Technology + Service” ecosystem covers the areas of regenerative medicine, cell-based immunotherapy, exosome
technology, telemedicine with medical second opinion/referral services, as well as rehabilitation medicine.
In addition, we are engaged in the development of exosome technology to improve diagnosis and management of diseases. Exosomes are
tiny, subcellular, membrane-bound vesicles in diameter of 30-150 nm that are released by almost all cell types and that can carry membrane
and cellular proteins, as well as genetic materials that are representative of the cell of origin. Profiling various bio-molecules in exosomes
may serve as useful biomarkers for a wide variety of diseases. Our research kits are designed to be used by researchers for biomarker
discovery and clinical diagnostic development, and the advancement of targeted therapies. Currently, research kits and service are available
to isolate exosomes or extract exosomal RNA/protein from serum/plasma, urine and saliva samples. We are seeking to decode proteomic
and genomic alterations underlying a wide-range of pathologies, thus allowing for the introduction of novel non-invasive “liquid biopsies”.
Our mission is focused toward diagnostic advancements in the fields of oncology, infectious diseases and fibrotic diseases, and discovery of
disease-specific exosomes to provide disease origin insight necessary to enable personalized clinical management. There is no guarantee
that we will be able to successfully achieve our stated mission.
We currently produce revenue by providing medical related consulting services in advanced areas of immunotherapy and second
opinion/referral services through Avalon Healthcare System, Inc. (“AHS”) and Avalon (Shanghai) Healthcare Technology Co., Ltd.
(“Avalon Shanghai”). Our medical related consulting services include research studies; executive education; daily online executive
briefings; tailored expert advisory services; and consulting and management services. We typically charge an annual fee. Through our
services we attempt to focus our clients on important problems by providing an analysis of the evolving healthcare industry and the
methods prevalent in the industry to solve those problems through counsel, business planning and support.
Further, we produce revenue by performing development services for hospitals and sales of related products developed to hospitals through
GenExosome Technologies Inc. (“GenExosome”) and Beijing Jieteng (GenExosome) Biotech Co., Ltd. (“Beijing GenExosome”).
We also own and operate rental real property in New Jersey.
The value of the Renminbi (“RMB”), the main currency used in China, fluctuates and is affected by, among other things, changes in
China’s political and economic conditions. The conversion of RMB into foreign currencies such as the U.S. dollar have generally been
based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China, which are set daily based on the previous day’s interbank foreign exchange market rates
and current exchange rates on the world financial markets.
Going Concern
We have limited operations. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going
concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business.
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we had working capital deficit (total current liabilities in excess of total
current assets) and an accumulated deficit of $2,125,207 and $3,517,654 at December 31, 2017, respectively, and had a net loss and net
cash flow used in operating activities of $4,049,645 and $1,339,692 for the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively.
20
We have a limited operating history and our continued growth is dependent upon the continuation of providing medical related consulting
services to our only three clients who are related parties and through performing development services for hospitals and sales of related
products developed to our several clients, generating rental revenue from our income-producing real estate property in New Jersey and
generating revenue from proprietary Exosome Isolation Systems by developing proprietary diagnostic and therapeutic products leveraging
exosome technology; and obtaining additional financing to fund future obligations and pay liabilities arising from normal business
operations. In addition, the current cash balance cannot be projected to cover the operating expenses for the next twelve months from the
release date of this report.
Our capital requirements for the next twelve months primarily relate to working capital requirements, including marketing expenses,
salaries and fees related to third parties’ professional services, capital expenditures and reduction of accrued liabilities, mergers,
acquisitions and the development of business opportunities. These uses of cash will depend on numerous factors including our sales and
other revenues, and our ability to control costs. All funds received have been expended in the furtherance of growing the business. We will
need to raise additional funds, particularly if we are unable to generate positive cash flow as a result of our operations. We estimate that
based on current plans and assumptions, that our available cash will be insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our present
operating expectations. Other than funds received from the sale of our equity and advances from our related parties, we presently have no
other significant alternative source of working capital. We have used these funds to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations and
grow our company. We will need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operations and to provide working capital for our
ongoing operations and obligations.
These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent on our ability to raise additional capital, implement our business plan, and generate significant revenues. There are no
assurances that we will be successful in our efforts to generate significant revenues, maintain sufficient cash balance or report profitable
operations or to continue as a going concern. We plan on raising capital through the sale of equity or debt instruments to implement our
business plan. However, there is no assurance these plans will be realized and that any additional financings will be available to us on
satisfactory terms and conditions, if any.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-
carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated
financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to the
allowance for doubtful accounts, reserve for obsolete inventory, the useful life of property, plant, equipment and investment in real estate
and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed
in acquisition, valuation of deferred tax assets, accruals for taxes due, the value of stock-based compensation, and valuation of options.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported
amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been provided, the
purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
Types of revenue:
● Rental revenue from leasing commercial property under operating leases with terms of generally two years or more.
● Service fees under consulting agreements with related parties to provide medical related consulting services to our clients. We are
paid for our services by our clients pursuant to the terms of the written consulting agreements. Each contract calls for a fixed
payment in a fixed period of time.
● Service fees under agreements to perform development services for hospitals. We do not perform contracts that are contingent upon
successful results.
21
● Sales of developed products to hospitals in connection with performing development services.
Revenue recognition criteria:
● We recognize rental revenue from our commercial leases on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease including rent holidays, if
any. Straight-line rent receivable consists of the difference between the tenants’ rents calculated on a straight-line basis from the
date of lease commencement over the remaining terms of the related leases and the tenants’ actual rents due under the lease
agreements and is included in tenants receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenues associated with
operating expense recoveries are recognized in the period in which the expenses are incurred.
● W e recognize revenue by providing medical related consulting services under written service contracts with our customers.
Revenue related to our service offerings is recognized as the services are performed and amounts are earned, using the straight-line
method over the term of the related services agreement. Prepayments, if any, received from customers prior to the services being
performed are recorded as advance from customers. In these cases, when the services are performed, the amount recorded as
advance from customers is recognized as revenue.
● Revenue from development services performed under hospital contracts is recognized when it is earned pursuant to the terms of the
contract. Each contract calls for a fixed dollar amount with a specified time period. These contracts generally involve up-front
payment. Revenue is recognized for these projects as services are provided.
● Revenue from sales of developed items to hospitals, which call for the transfer of other items developed during the projects to the
customers, is recognized when the item is shipped to the customer and title is transferred.
We do not offer promotional payments, customer coupons, rebates or other cash redemption offers to our customers.
Income Taxes
We are governed by the income tax laws of China and the United States. Income taxes are accounted for pursuant to ASC 740 “Accounting
for Income Taxes,” which is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. The charge for taxes is
based on the results for the period as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have
been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between
the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of
assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are
recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be
utilized.
Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled.
Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in
which case the deferred tax is changed to equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they related to income taxes levied by
the same taxation authority and we intend to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in
exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for
the award. The Accounting Standards Codification also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in
exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is recognized over
the period of services or the vesting period, whichever is applicable. Compensation expense for unvested options to non-employees is re-
measured at each balance sheet date and is being amortized over the vesting period of the options.
22
Non-controlling Interest
As of December 31, 2017, Dr. Yu Zhou, director and co- chief executive officer of GenExosome who owned 40% of the equity interests of
GenExosome, which is not under our control.
Acquisition
We account for acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the results of operations are included in the financial
statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase price is allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their
estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, and any excess is allocated to goodwill.
Effective October 25, 2017, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement as discussed elsewhere in this report, our majority owned
subsidiary, GenExosome, acquired 100% of Beijing GenExosome.
In according to the acquisition, Beijing GenExosome’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair values as of the effective date,
October 25, 2017, and the results of operations of Beijing GenExosome are consolidated with results of operations of us, starting on
October 25, 2017.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases
(Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which modified lease accounting for both lessees and lessors to increase transparency and comparability by
recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous accounting standards
and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2018 using a modified retrospective adoption method. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash
Payments. This ASU addresses the classification of certain specific cash flow issues including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs,
settlement of certain debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement
of certain insurance claims and distributions received from equity method investees. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. An entity that elects early adoption must
adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the
Definition of a Business (ASU 2017-01), which revises the definition of a business and provides new guidance in evaluating when a set of
transferred assets and activities is a business. This guidance will be effective for the Company in the first fiscal quarter of 2018 on a
prospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-
04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires
a hypothetical purchase price allocation. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2019, and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill
impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact
on our consolidated financial statements.
23
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting. The guidance
clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. Entities will
apply the modification accounting guidance if the value, vesting conditions or classification of the award changes. This guidance is
effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is
permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to
have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. We do not discuss recent pronouncements that are not
anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016
Revenues
We generated real property rental revenue commencing in May 2017 and we generated revenue from medical related consulting services
commencing in July 2016. We had revenue from performing development services for hospitals and sales of developed products to
hospitals commencing in October 2017.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, we had real property rental revenue of $828,663. We did not generate any real property rental
revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, we had medical related consulting services revenue from related parties of $222,611, as compared
to medical related consulting services revenue from related parties of $616,446 for the year ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of
$393,835, or 63.9%. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decreased demand for our consulting service from our related parties.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, we had revenue from contract services through performing development services for hospitals and
sales of developed products to hospitals of $26,276, which represents revenue from October 25, 2017 (the date of acquisition) to December
31, 2017.
Costs and Expenses
Real property operating expenses consist of property management fees, property insurance, real estate taxes, depreciation, repairs and
maintenance fees, utilities and other expenses related to our rental properties.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, real property operating expenses amounted to $542,371. There were no comparative revenue and
related operating expenses from our real property operating business for the year ended December 31, 2016 since we started our real
property rental operations during the second quarter of 2017.
Costs of medical related consulting services include the cost of internal labor and related benefits, travel expenses related to medical related
consulting services, subcontractor costs, other related consulting costs, and other overhead costs. Subcontractor costs were costs related to
medical related consulting services incurred by our subcontractor, such as medical professional’s compensation and travel costs.
Costs of medical related consulting services for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $272,400, representing an increase of $199,334, or
272.8%, as compared to $73,066 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to the allocation of fixed
costs, mainly consisting of internal labor and related benefits, to our costs of medical related consulting services.
Costs of development services and sales of developed products include inventory costs, materials and supplies costs, internal labor and
related benefits, depreciation and other overhead costs incurred.
Costs of development services for hospitals and sales of developed products to hospitals was $15,016 for the year ended December 31,
2017, which represents costs from October 25, 2017 (the date of acquisition) to December 31, 2017. There were no comparable revenue nor
costs of revenue from our development services and sales of developed products operations prior to the date of acquisition.
24
Real Property Operating Income
Our real property operating income was $286,292 for the year ended December 31, 2017. We did not generate any real property operating
income for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Gross (Loss) Profit from Medical Related Consulting Services and Gross Margin
Our gross loss from medical related consulting services for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $49,789, representing a change of
$593,169, or (109.2)%, as compared to gross profit of $543,380 for the year ended December 31, 2016, mainly due to the decrease in our
consulting services revenue and increase in our consulting services costs. Gross margin decreased to (22.4)% for the year ended December
31, 2017 from 88.1% for the year ended December 31, 2016. The decrease in gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2017 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2016 was primarily resulted from low consulting services revenue and the allocation of fixed
costs, mainly consisting of internal labor and related benefits, to costs of the low level of consulting revenue.
Gross Profit from Development Services and Sales of Developed Products
Our gross profit from development services and sales of developed products was $11,260 for the year ended December 31, 2017,
representing gross margin of 42.9%.

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, other operating expenses consisted of the following:
Selling expenses
Compensation and related benefits

● Our selling expense consisted of salaries of sales personnel and travel and entertainment costs incurred by our sales department. For
the year ended December 31, 2017, selling expense increased by $8,359, or 121.3%, as compared to the year ended December 31,
2016. In the year ended December 31, 2017, we hired a sales representative to enhance our visibility and to market our services in
order to generate orders for our medical related consulting services. Therefore, our selling expense increased.
● For the year ended December 31, 2017, compensation and related benefits increased by $1,281,095, or 12,699.2%, as compared to
the year ended December 31, 2016. The significant increase was primarily attributable to an increase in stock-based compensation
of approximately $844,000 which reflected the value of options granted and vested to our management in 2017, and an increase in
employee salaries and related benefits of approximately $437,000 due to the increase in general and administrative personnel
resulting from our business expansion.
● Professional fees primarily consisted of accounting fees, audit fees, legal service fees, consulting fees, investor relations service
charges and other fees incurred for service related to becoming and being a public company. For the year ended December 31, 2017,
professional fees increased by $637,528, or 161.1%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. The significant increase
was mainly attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $289,000 due to the increase in use of consulting services
providers, an increase in accounting fees of approximately $84,000 incurred for services performed by our financial consultant, an
increase in audit fees of approximately $186,000 mainly due to the increase in audit service related to a target company acquisition
and Form S-1 registration statement, an increase in legal services fees of approximately $89,000, offset by a decrease in other
miscellaneous items of approximately $10,000. We expect professional fees to increase as we incur significant costs associated with
our public company reporting requirements, and costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements,
including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
25
● For the year ended December 31, 2017, rent expenses increased by $136,307, or 6,815.4%, as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2016, reflecting our business expansion.
● Other general and administrative expenses mainly consisted of travel and entertainment, office supplies, miscellaneous taxes,
amortization of intangible assets, bank service charge and other miscellaneous items. For the year ended December 31, 2017, other
general and administrative expenses increased by $274,552, or 531.2%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. The
increase was primarily due to an increase in our travel and entertainment expense of approximately $123,000, an increase in
amortization of intangible assets of approximately $86,000, an increase in miscellaneous taxes of approximately $30,000 and an
increase in other miscellaneous items of approximately $36,000 resulting from our business expansion.
● In December 2017, we assessed our four patents and other technologies for any impairment and concluded that there were indicators
of impairment as of December 31, 2017 and the Company calculated that the estimated undiscounted cash flows were less than the
carrying amount of those patents and other technologies. Based on our analysis, we recognized an impairment loss of $923,769 for
the year ended December 31, 2017, which reduced the value of our four patents and other technologies purchased to $1,583,260. In
addition, in December 2017, we assessed our goodwill for any impairment and concluded that there were indicators of impairment as
of December 31, 2017 and we calculated that the estimated undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying amount of
goodwill. Based on our analysis, we recognized an impairment loss of $397,569 for the year ended December 31, 2017, which
reduced the value of goodwill acquired to zero. We did not record any impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2016.
(Loss) Income from Operations
As a result of the foregoing, for the year ended December 31, 2017, loss from operations amounted to $3,877,863, as compared to income
from operations of $76,933 for the year ended December 31, 2016, a change of $3,954,796, or 5,140.6%.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) includes interest income from bank deposits, interest expense incurred from loan payable, foreign currency
transaction loss, and grant income from Chinese government.
Other expense, net, totaled $171,782 for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared to other income, net, of $575 for the year ended
December 31, 2016, a change of $172,357, which was mainly attributable to an increase in interest expense of approximately $138,000, and
an increase in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $57,000, offset by an increase in grant income of approximately $22,000.
Grant income represents incentives granted and received from the Chinese government to encourage technology innovation.
Income Taxes
We did not have any income taxes expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 since we did not generate any taxable income in this
year. Income taxes expense was $21,927 for the year ended December 31, 2016, which was attributable to the taxable income generated by
our China operating entity, Avalon Shanghai.
Net (Loss) Income
As a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $4,049,645 for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared with net
income of $55,581 for the year ended December 31, 2016, a change of $4,105,226 or 7,386.0%.
Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Avalon GloboCare Corp.
The net loss attributable to Avalon GloboCare Corp. was $3,464,285, or $(0.05) per share (basic and diluted) for the year ended December
31, 2017, as compared with net income attributable to Avalon GloboCare Corp. of $55,581, or $0.00 per share (basic and diluted) for the
year ended December 31, 2016, a change of $3,519,866 or 6,332.9%.
26
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company, AHS, Avalon (BVI) Ltd. (dormant, to be
dissolved), Avalon RT 9, and GenExosome, is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of Avalon Shanghai and Beijing GenExosome, is
the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of our subsidiaries whose functional currency is the RMB are translated to U.S.
dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, average rate of exchange for revenue, costs, and expenses and cash
flows, and at historical exchange rates for equity. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the
results of operations. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a non-cash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency
translation gain of $2,540 and a foreign currency translation loss of $94,568 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
This non-cash gain/loss had the effect of decreasing/increasing our reported comprehensive loss.
Comprehensive Loss
As a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss of $4,047,105 and $38,987 for the years ended
December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise
operate on an ongoing basis. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had cash balance of approximately $3,027,000 and $2,886,000,
respectively. These funds are kept in financial institutions located as follows:

Under applicable PRC regulations, foreign invested enterprises, or FIEs, in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits,
if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, a foreign invested enterprise in China is
required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the
cumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends.
In addition, a portion of our businesses and assets are denominated in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All
foreign exchange transactions take place either through the People’s Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign
currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the People’s Bank of
China or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents
and signed contracts. These currency exchange control procedures imposed by the PRC government authorities may restrict the ability of
our PRC subsidiary to transfer its net assets to the Parent Company through loans, advances or cash dividends.
The current PRC Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) Law and its implementing rules generally provide that a 10% withholding tax applies to
China-sourced income derived by non-resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes unless the jurisdiction of incorporation
of such enterprises’ shareholder has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.

Our working capital deficit increased by $5,671,103 to working capital deficit of $2,125,207 at December 31, 2017 from working capital of
$3,545,896 at December 31, 2016. The increase in working capital deficit was primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable –
related parties, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of approximately $70,000, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of
approximately $600,000 primarily due to the decrease in prepayment for acquisition of real property of approximately $700,000, an
increase in accrued liabilities and other payables of approximately $240,000, an increase in loan payable of $1,500,000 borrowed in
connection with our purchase of New Jersey real property, an increase in tenants’ security deposit of approximately $92,000, an increase in
due to related parties of approximately $353,000, and an increase in refundable deposit of $3,000,000 related to our March 2017
Subscription Agreement (See Note 16 – Common Shares Issued for Share Subscription Agreement), offset by an increase in cash of
approximately $141,000.
Because the exchange rate conversion is different for the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of cash flows, the
changes in assets and liabilities reflected on the consolidated statements of cash flows are not necessarily identical with the comparable
changes reflected on the consolidated balance sheets.

approximately $4,050,000, and the changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of assets and liabilities assumed in business acquisition,
primarily consisting of an increase in tenants receivable of approximately $38,000, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets
of approximately $99,000, an increase in security deposit of approximately $30,000, and a decrease in income taxes payable of
approximately $22,000, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable – related parties of approximately $72,000, an increase in accrued
liabilities and other payables of approximately $215,000, an increase in accrued liabilities and other payables – related parties of
approximately $31,000, an increase in deferred rental income of approximately $13,000, and an increase in tenants’ security deposit of
approximately $92,000, and the add-back of non-cash items consisting of depreciation and amortization expense of approximately
$182,000, stock-based compensation of approximately $993,000, and impairment loss of approximately $1,321,000.
Net cash flow provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 was approximately $14,000, which primarily
reflected our net income of approximately $56,000, and the add-back of non-cash items mainly consisting of stock-based professional fees
of approximately $53,000, and changes in operating assets and liabilities consisting of an increase in accrued liabilities and other payables
of approximately $6,000, an increase in income taxes payable of approximately $22,000, and an increase in VAT and other taxes payable of
approximately $12,000, offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities consisting of an increase in accounts receivable – related parties
of approximately $73,000, an increase in prepaid expenses and other of approximately $51,000, and a decrease in accrued liabilities and
other payables – related parties of approximately $10,000.
28
We expect our cash used in operating activities to increase due to the following:
● the development and commercialization of exosome products;
● an increase in professional staff and services including increased costs of being a public company and additions to sales personnel;
and
● an increase in public relations, marketing, advertising and/or sales promotions for existing and/or new brands as we expand within
existing markets or enter new markets.
Net cash flow used in investing activities was $8,014,448 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to $930,334 for the year
ended December 31, 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we made payment for purchase of long-term assets of approximately
$148,000, made payment for purchase of property, plant and equipment of approximately $54,000, made payment for purchase of
intangible assets of approximately $876,000, and made payment for purchase of commercial real estate of approximately $7,009,000, offset
by cash acquired on business acquisition of approximately $72,000. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we made prepayments for
acquisition of real property of $700,000, made payment for the purchase of Avalon GloboCare Corp.’s shares of $230,000 and made
payments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment of $334.
Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $9,502,225 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to $3,785,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we received $2,100,000 proceeds from loan payable, received
$210,000 advance from related parties, received $3,000,000 proceeds of refundable deposit as earnest money in connection with the Share
Subscription Agreement related to the 3,000,000 common stock issued to the March 2017 Accredited Investor who is an entrusted party
that holds the shares on behalf of DOING, and received net proceeds of approximately $5,099,000 (net of issuance costs of $50,625) from
sale of common stock, offset by repayment for loan of $600,000 and repayment for related parties’ advance of approximately $307,000.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, we received proceeds from related parties’ advance of $9,000, and received proceeds from
AHS’s founders’ contribution of $141,000, and received proceeds from sale of common stock of $3,635,000, in funding our operations.
Our capital requirements for the next twelve months primarily relate to working capital requirements, including marketing expenses,
salaries and fees related to third parties’ professional services, capital expenditures and reduction of accrued liabilities, and mergers,
acquisitions and the development of business opportunities. These uses of cash will depend on numerous factors including our sales and
other revenues, and our ability to control costs. All funds received have been expended in the furtherance of growing the business. The
following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:
● an increase in working capital requirements to finance our current business;
● the use of capital for mergers, acquisitions and the development of business opportunities;
● addition of administrative and sales personnel as the business grows; and
● the cost of being a public company.
We will need to raise additional funds, particularly if we are unable to generate positive cash flow as a result of our operations. We
estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, that our available cash will be insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our
present operating expectations. Other than funds received from the sale of our equity and advances from our related parties, we presently
have no other significant alternative source of working capital. We have used these funds to fund our operating expenses, pay our
obligations and grow our company. We will need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operations and to provide working
capital for our ongoing operations and obligations. Therefore, our future operation is dependent on our ability to secure additional
financing. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing
mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more
difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible
that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative
financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity
securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain
additional capital may restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to
obtain additional financing, we will be required to cease our operations. To date, we have not considered this alternative, nor do we view it
as a likely occurrence.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Contractual Obligations
We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs,
cancellation provisions, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty
regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our
determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our consolidated
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The following tables summarize our contractual obligations as of December 31,
2017, and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
A portion of our operations are in China. Thus, a portion of our revenues and operating results may be impacted by exchange rate
fluctuations between RMB and US dollars. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had unrealized foreign currency
translation gain of approximately $3,000 and unrealized foreign currency translation loss of approximately $95,000, respectively, because
of changes in the exchange rate.
Inflation
The effect of inflation on our revenue and operating results was not significant.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Avalon GloboCare Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Avalon GloboCare Corp. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of
December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial
statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31,
2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
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.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in
Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a limited operating history with net loss and net cash flow used in
operating activities, had working capital deficit and accumulated deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We have served as the Company’s auditors since 2016.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Avalon GloboCare Corp. (f/k/a Global Technologies Corp.) (the “Company” or “AVCO”) is a Delaware corporation. The Company was
incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 28, 2014. On October 18, 2016, the Company changed its name to Avalon
GloboCare Corp. and completed a reverse split its shares of common stock at a ratio of 1:4. On October 19, 2016, the Company entered
into and closed a Share Exchange Agreement with the shareholders of Avalon Healthcare System, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AHS”),
each of which are accredited investors (“AHS Shareholders”) pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the outstanding securities of AHS in
exchange for 50,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “AHS Acquisition”). AHS was incorporated on May 18, 2015 under the laws of
the State of Delaware. As a result of such acquisition, the Company’s operations now are focused on integrating and managing global
healthcare services and resources, as well as empowering high-impact biomedical innovations and technologies to accelerate their clinical
applications. Operating through two major platforms, namely “Avalon Cell”, and “Avalon Rehab”, our “technology + service” ecosystem
covers the areas of regenerative medicine, cell-based immunotherapy, exosome technology, as well as rehabilitation medicine. We plan to
integrate these services through joint ventures and acquisitions that bring shareholder value both in the short term, through operational
entities as part of Avalon Rehab and in the long term, through biomedical innovations as part of Avalon Cell. AHS owns 100% of the
capital stock of Avalon (Shanghai) Healthcare Technology Co., Ltd. (“Avalon Shanghai”), which is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise
organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Avalon Shanghai was incorporated on April 29, 2016 and is engaged
in medical related consulting services for customers.
For accounting purposes, AHS was the surviving entity. The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of AHS pursuant to which
AHS was treated as the accounting acquirer, surviving and continuing entity although the Company is the legal acquirer. The Company did
not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with this transaction. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial
statements are those of AHS and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Avalon Shanghai immediately following the consummation of this reverse
merger transaction.
On January 23, 2017, the Company incorporated Avalon (BVI) Ltd, a British Virgin Island company (dormant to be dissolved). There was
no activity for the subsidiary since its incorporation through December 31, 2017.
On February 7, 2017, the Company formed Avalon RT 9 Properties, LLC (“Avalon RT 9”), a New Jersey limited liability company. On
May 5, 2017, Avalon RT 9 purchased a real property located in Township of Freehold, County of Monmouth, State of New Jersey, having
a street address of 4400 Route 9 South, Freehold, NJ 07728. This property was purchased to serve as the Company’s world-wide
headquarters for all corporate administration and operation. In addition, the property generates rental income. Avalon RT 9 owns this office
building. Currently, Avalon RT 9’s business consists of the ownership and operation of the income-producing real estate property in New
Jersey.
On July 31, 2017, the Company formed GenExosome Technologies Inc. (“GenExosome”) in Nevada.
On October 25, 2017, GenExosome and the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company
acquired 600 shares of GenExosome in consideration of $1,326,087 in cash and 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
On October 25, 2017, GenExosome entered into and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Yu Zhou, MD, PhD, pursuant to which the
Company acquired all assets, including all intellectual property, held by Dr. Zhou pertaining to the business of researching, developing and

On October 25, 2017, GenExosome entered into and closed a Stock Purchase Agreement with Beijing Jieteng (GenExosome) Biotech Co.
Ltd., a corporation incorporated in the People’s Republic of China on August 7, 2015 (“Beijing GenExosome”) and Dr. Zhou, the sole
shareholder of Beijing GenExosome, pursuant to which GenExosome acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of Beijing
GenExosome in consideration of a cash payment in the amount of $450,000, which shall be paid upon Beijing GenExosome recording the
change in ownership with the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China in accordance with the Interim Measures for
Record Management regarding the Establishment and Change of Foreign-invested Enterprises (revised).
Beijing GenExosome is engaged in the development of exosome technology to improve diagnosis and management of diseases. Exosomes
are tiny, subcellular, membrane-bound vesicles in diameter of 30-150 nm that are released by almost all cell types and that can carry
membrane and cellular proteins, as well as genetic materials that are representative of the cell of origin. Profiling various bio-molecules in
exosomes may serve as useful biomarkers for a wide variety of diseases. Beijing GenExosome’s research kits are designed to be used by
researchers for biomarker discovery and clinical diagnostic development, and the advancement of targeted therapies. Currently, research
kits and service are available to isolate exosomes or extract exosomal RNA/protein from serum/plasma, urine and saliva samples. Beijing
GenExosome is seeking to decode proteomic and genomic alterations underlying a wide-range of pathologies, thus allowing for the
introduction of novel non-invasive “liquid biopsies”. Its mission is focused toward diagnostic advancements in the fields of oncology,
infectious diseases and fibrotic diseases, and discovery of disease-specific exosomes to provide disease origin insight necessary to enable
personalized clinical management.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2017
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission for financial information.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Going Concern
The Company currently has limited operations. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business.
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had working capital deficit (total current liabilities in
excess of total current assets) and an accumulated deficit of $2,125,207 and $3,517,654 at December 31, 2017, respectively, and had a net
loss and net cash flow used in operating activities of $4,049,645 and $1,339,692 for the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The
Company has a limited operating history and its continued growth is dependent upon the continuation of providing medical related
consulting services to its only three clients who are related parties and through performing development services for hospitals and sales of
related products developed to its several clients, generating rental revenue from its income-producing real estate property in New Jersey and
generating revenue from proprietary Exosome Isolation Systems by developing proprietary diagnostic and therapeutic products leveraging
exosome technology; and obtaining additional financing to fund future obligations and pay liabilities arising from normal business
operations.
In addition, the current cash balance cannot be projected to cover the operating expenses for the next twelve months from the release date
of this report. The Company’s capital requirements for the next twelve months primarily relate to working capital requirements, including
marketing expenses, salaries and fees related to third parties’ professional services, capital expenditures and reduction of accrued liabilities,
mergers, acquisitions and the development of business opportunities. These uses of cash will depend on numerous factors including its
sales and other revenues, and its ability to control costs. All funds received have been expended in the furtherance of growing the business.
The Company will need to raise additional funds, particularly if it is unable to generate positive cash flow as a result of its operations. The
Company estimates that based on current plans and assumptions, that its available cash will be insufficient to satisfy its cash requirements
under its present operating expectations. Other than funds received from the sale of its equity and advances from its related parties, the
Company presently has no other significant alternative source of working capital. The Company has used these funds to fund its operating
expenses, pay its obligations and grow its business. The Company will need to raise significant additional capital to fund its operations and
to provide working capital for its ongoing operations and obligations.
These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue
as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, implement its business plan, and generate significant
revenues. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in its efforts to generate significant revenues, maintain sufficient
cash balance or report profitable operations or to continue as a going concern. The Company plans on raising capital through the sale of
equity or debt instruments to implement its business plan. However, there is no assurance these plans will be realized and that any
additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if any.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-
carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates during the years ended December 31, 2017 and
2016 include the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserve for obsolete inventory, the useful life of property, plant, equipment and
investment in real estate and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets, the fair value of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisition, valuation of deferred tax assets, accruals for taxes due, the value of stock-based
compensation, and valuation of options.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the
definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in
measuring fair value as follows:
● Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
● Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar
assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or
corroborated by observable market data.
● Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts receivable – related parties,
tenants receivable, security deposit, inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other
payables, accrued liabilities and other payables – related parties, deferred rental income, loan payable, income taxes payable, Value Added
Tax (“VAT”) and other taxes payable, tenants’ security deposit, due to related parties, and refundable deposit, approximate their fair market
value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
At December 31, 2017 and 2016, intangible assets were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as shown in the following tables.

In December 2017, the Company assessed its long-lived assets for any impairment and concluded that there were indicators of impairment
as of December 31, 2017 and it calculated that the estimated undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the intangible
assets. Based on its analysis, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $1,321,338 for the year ended December 31, 2017, which
reduced the value of intangible assets acquired to $1,583,260. There were no intangible assets at December 31, 2016 and the Company did
not record any impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2016
ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value
(fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date
occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at
each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.
Cash
Cash consists of cash on hand and cash in banks. The Company maintains cash with various financial institutions in the PRC and United
States. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, cash balances in PRC are $1,327,009 and $2,525,630, respectively, are uninsured. At December
31, 2017 and 2016, cash balances in United States are $1,700,024 and $360,559, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses
in bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Currently, a portion of the Company’s operations are carried out in PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and
results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s
economy. The Company’s operations in PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with
companies in North America. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws
and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other
things.
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, trade accounts
receivable and tenants receivable. A portion of the Company’s cash is maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC, and none of
these deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any
risks on its cash in bank accounts. A portion of the Company’s sales are credit sales which is to the customer whose ability to pay is
dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in these areas; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts
receivable and tenants receivable is limited due to generally short payment terms. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations
of its customers to help further reduce credit risk.
At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s cash balances by geographic area were as follows:

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for
estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there
is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company
considers many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current
economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection.
Management believes that the accounts receivable are fully collectable. Therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts is deemed to be
required on its accounts receivable at December 31, 2017. The Company historically has not experienced uncollectible accounts from
customers granted with credit sales.
Tenants Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Tenants receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Tenants receivable balance consists of base rents, tenant
reimbursements and receivables arising from straight-lining of rents primarily represent amounts accrued and unpaid from tenants in
accordance with the terms of the respective leases, subject to the Company’s revenue recognition policy. An allowance for the
uncollectible portion of tenant receivable is determined based upon an analysis of the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of
the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in Freehold, New Jersey in which the
property is located.
Management believes that the tenants receivable is fully collectable. Therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts is deemed to be
required on its tenants receivable at December 31, 2017.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. A reserve is established
when management determines that certain inventory may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to
obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record reserve for the difference between the cost and the
market value. These reserve is recorded based on estimates. The Company did not record any inventory reserve at December 31, 2017.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired
or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in
income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes
in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.
Investment In Real Estate and Depreciation
Investment in real estate is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The Company depreciates real estate building on a straight-line
basis over estimated useful life. The Company capitalizes all capital improvements associated with replacements, improvements or major
repairs to real property that extend its useful life and depreciate them using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life. Real
estate depreciation expense was $84,814 for the year ended December 31, 2017.
The Company charges maintenance and repair costs that do not extend an asset’s useful life to expense as incurred.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of goodwill and patents and other technologies. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the
fair value of net assets acquired in the business acquisition incurred on October 25, 2017. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for
impairment at December 31, 2017. Patents and other technologies are being amortized on a straight-line method over the estimated useful
life of 5 years.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment
loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is
measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.
In December 2017, the Company assessed its long-lived assets for any impairment and concluded that there were indicators of impairment
as of December 31, 2017 and it calculated that the estimated undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the intangible
assets. Based on its analysis, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $1,321,338 for the year ended December 31, 2017, which
reduced the value of intangible assets acquired to $1,583,260. There were no intangible assets at December 31, 2016 and the Company did
not record any impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2016
Acquisition Consideration
On October 25, 2017, GenExosome entered into and closed a Stock Purchase Agreement with Beijing Jieteng (GenExosome) Biotech Co.
Ltd., a corporation incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“Beijing GenExosome”) and Dr. Zhou, the sole shareholder of Beijing
GenExosome, pursuant to which GenExosome acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of Beijing GenExosome in
consideration of a cash payment in the amount of $450,000, which shall be paid upon Beijing GenExosome recording the change in
ownership with the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China in accordance with the Interim Measures for Record
Management regarding the Establishment and Change of Foreign-invested Enterprises (revised).
On October 25, 2017, Dr. Zhou was appointed to the board of directors of GenExosome and served as Co-chief executive officer of
GenExosome. As of December 31, 2017, the unpaid acquisition consideration of $450,000 was included in due to related parties on the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Deferred Rental Income
Deferred rental income represents rental income collected but not earned as of the reporting date. The Company defers the revenue related
to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, deferred rental income totaled
$12,769 and $0, respectively.
Value Added Tax
Avalon Shanghai is subject to a value added tax (“VAT”) of 6% for providing medical related consulting services and Beijing
GenExosome is subject to a VAT of 3% for performing development services and sales of related products developed. The amount of VAT
liability is determined by applying the applicable tax rates to the invoiced amount of medical related consulting services provided and the
invoiced amount of development services provided and sales of related products developed (output VAT) less VAT paid on purchases
made with the relevant supporting invoices (input VAT). The Company reports revenue net of PRC’s value added tax for all the periods
presented in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Revenue Recognition
Pursuant to the guidance of ASC Topic 605, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery
has occurred or services have been provided, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Codification (“ASC”) 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in
exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for
the award. The Accounting Standards Codification also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in
exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is recognized over
the period of services or the vesting period, whichever is applicable. Compensation expense for unvested options to non-employees is re-
measured at each balance sheet date and is being amortized over the vesting period of the options.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling expenses. The Company did not incur any shipping and
handling costs in the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Research and Development
Expenditures for research and product development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company did not incur any research and
development costs during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Advertising and Marketing Costs
All costs related to advertising and marketing are expensed as incurred. The Company did not incur any advertising and marketing
expenses during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset/liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records
a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some
portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income
or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Using
that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be
sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had no significant uncertain tax
positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Tax year that remains subject to examination is the
years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to significant uncertain income tax
positions in other expense. However, no such interest and penalties were recorded as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Foreign Currency Translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the parent company, AHS, Avalon RT 9, and
GenExosome, is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of Avalon Shanghai and Beijing GenExosome, is the Chinese Renminbi
(“RMB”). For the subsidiaries whose functional currency is the RMB, result of operations and cash flows are translated at average
exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is
translated at historical exchange rates. As a result, amounts relating to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows may
not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from the
process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income/loss.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the
transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates
prevailing at the balance sheet date with any transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
All of the Company’s revenue transactions are transacted in the functional currency of the operating subsidiaries. The Company does not
enter into any material transaction in foreign currencies. Transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material
effect on the results of operations of the Company.
Asset and liability accounts at December 31, 2017 and 2016 were translated at 6.5067 RMB to $1.00 and at 6.9448 RMB to $1.00,
respectively, which were the exchange rates on the balance sheet dates. Equity accounts were stated at their historical rates. The average
translation rates applied to the statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were 6.7563 RMB and 6.6435
RMB to $1.00, respectively. Cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average
translation rate.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss is comprised of net (loss) income and all changes to the statements of equity, except those due to investments by
stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. For the Company, comprehensive loss for the years ended
December 31, 2017 and 2016 consisted of net (loss) income and unrealized gain (loss) from foreign currency translation adjustment.
Per Share Data
ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the
numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS
excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.
Basic net (loss) income per share are computed by dividing net (loss) income available to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss)
income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities
outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuable upon the exercise of common
stock options (using the treasury stock method). Common stock equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted net (loss) income
per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are
excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact. The following table presents a
reconciliation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share:

Segment Reporting
The Company uses “the management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the
internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing
performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the chief
executive officer (“CEO”) and president of the Company, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and
assessing performance for the entire Company.
The Company has determined that it has three reportable business segments: real property operating segment, medical related consulting
services segment, and development services and sales of developed products segment. These reportable segments offer different types of
services and products, have different types of revenue, and are managed separately as each requires different operating strategies and
management expertise.
Related Parties
Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are
controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its
management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the
Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent
that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all significant
related party transactions.
Business Acquisition
The Company accounts for business acquisition in accordance with ASC No. 805, Business Combinations. The assets acquired and
liabilities assumed from the acquired business are recorded at fair value, with the residual of the purchase price recorded as goodwill. The
result of operations of the acquired business is included in the Company’s operating result from the date of acquisition.
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on
the previously reported financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases
(Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which modified lease accounting for both lessees and lessors to increase transparency and comparability by
recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous accounting standards
and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2018 using a modified retrospective adoption method. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash
Payments. This ASU addresses the classification of certain specific cash flow issues including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs,
settlement of certain debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement
of certain insurance claims and distributions received from equity method investees. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. An entity that elects early adoption must
adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the
Definition of a Business (ASU 2017-01), which revises the definition of a business and provides new guidance in evaluating when a set of
transferred assets and activities is a business. This guidance will be effective for the Company in the first fiscal quarter of 2018 on a
prospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-
04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires
a hypothetical purchase price allocation. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2019, and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill
impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting. The guidance
clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. Entities will
apply the modification accounting guidance if the value, vesting conditions or classification of the award changes. This guidance is
effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is
permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to
have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that
are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or
disclosures.

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITION
The Company accounts for acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the results of operations are included in the
financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase price is allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on
their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, and any excess is allocated to goodwill.
Effective October 25, 2017, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement as discussed in Note 1, the Company’s majority owned subsidiary,
GenExosome, acquired 100% of Beijing GenExosome.
In according to the acquisition, Beijing GenExosome’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair values as of the effective date,
October 25, 2017, and the results of operations of Beijing GenExosome are consolidated with results of operations of the Company,
starting on October 25, 2017.
The purchase price exceeded the fair value of net assets acquired by $397,569. The Company allocated the $397,569 excess to goodwill.
The results of operations of Beijing GenExosome are included in the consolidated results of operations of the Company from the effective
date of October 25, 2017 to December 31, 2017. For the period from the effective date of October 25, 2017 to December 31, 2017, revenue
and net loss included in the consolidated statements of operations from Beijing GenExosome amounted to $26,276 and $30,327,
respectively.
In connection with the combination, for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company incurred acquisition related costs of $101,236
which, pursuant to ASC 805, are expensed and included in professional fees on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into an at will employment agreement with the former sole shareholder of Beijing
GenExosome. The Company determined that the consideration under this employment agreement did not qualify as additional purchase
consideration.
The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Beijing GenExosome are as follows:
Assets acquired:
Cash
Inventory
Prepaid expenses
Security deposit
Property, plant and equipment
Intangible assets - goodwill
Total assets
Liabilities assumed:

Net assets were valued at their respective carrying amounts, which the Company believes approximate their current fair values at the
acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired.
In December 2017, the Company assessed goodwill for any impairment and concluded that there were indicators of impairment as of
December 31, 2017 and the Company calculated that the estimated undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying amount of
goodwill. Based on the Company’s analysis, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $397,569 for the year ended December 31,
2017, which reduced the value of goodwill resulted from the acquisition to zero (See Note 10).

NOTE 10 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS
On October 25, 2017, GenExosome entered into and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Yu Zhou, MD, PhD, pursuant to which the
Company acquired four patents and other technologies from Dr. Zhou in consideration of $876,087 in cash and 500,000 shares of common
stock of the Company and 400 shares of common stock of GenExosome (See Note 1).
In connection with the intangible assets purchase, the fair value of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock given to acquire those
intangible assets was $500,000 which was valued based on the most recent sale price of the Company’s common share and the fair value of
400 shares of GenExosome’s common stock given to acquire those intangible assets was $1,217,391 which was valued based on the most
recent sale price of 600 shares of GenExosome’s common stock, which was sold to the Company on October 25, 2017 pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement entered into by GenExosome and the Company. To determine the fair value of GenExosome’s equity
consideration given to acquire those intangible assets, the Company used the fair value of the Company’s common share since it was
determined to be a better indicator of the fair value of the consideration given to acquire those intangible assets.
The valuation of identifiable intangible assets acquired, representing developed technologies, reflects management’s estimates, and is
amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method and the estimated useful lives of five years. The straight-line
method of amortization represents the Company’s best estimate of the distribution of the economic value of the identifiable intangible
assets.
In December 2017, the Company assessed its four patents and other technologies for any impairment and concluded that there were
indicators of impairment as of December 31, 2017 and the Company calculated that the estimated undiscounted cash flows were less than
the carrying amount of those patents and other technologies. Based on the Company’s analysis, the Company recognized an impairment
loss of $923,769 for the year ended December 31, 2017, which reduced the value of four patents and other technologies purchased to
$1,583,260.

NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES
The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC and the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under the
Income Tax Laws of PRC, Chinese companies are generally subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 25% on income reported in the
statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. Avalon Shanghai, is subject to the statutory rate of 25%. Beijing
GenExosome is subjected to PRC income tax at a preferential rate of 10% due to its small size with minimal taxable income in according to
PRC taxes laws. The Company has a cumulative deficit from its foreign subsidiaries of approximately $183,000 as of December 31, 2017,
which is included in the consolidated accumulated deficit.
The U.S. tax reform bill that Congress voted to approve December 20, 2017, also known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”, made sweeping
modifications to the Internal Revenue Code, including a much lower corporate tax rate, changes to credits and deductions, and a move to a
territorial system for corporations that have overseas earnings.
The act replaced the prior-law graduated corporate tax rate, which taxed income over $10 million at 35%, with a flat rate of 21%.
As of December 31, 2017, the Company has incurred an aggregate net operating loss of approximately $1,481,000 for income taxes
purposes. The net operating loss carries forward for United States income taxes and may be available to reduce future years’ taxable
income. These carry forwards will expire, if not utilized, through 2037. Management believes that it appears more likely than not that the
Company will not realize these tax benefits due to the Company’s limited operating history and continuing losses for United States income
taxes purposes. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset benefit related to the U.S.
net operating loss carry forward to reduce the asset to zero. Management will review this valuation allowance periodically and make
adjustments as necessary.
The Company’s (loss) income before income taxes includes the following components:
United States loss before income taxes
China (loss) income before income taxes
Total (loss) income before income taxes

Note: included in the United States loss before income taxes is $1,433,074, which will not be included in the Company’s consolidated
income tax return, because the Company owns only 60% of GenExosome. The U.S. tax law requires 80% ownership to consolidate.

NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES (continued)
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company did not incur any income taxes expense since it did not generate any taxable income
in 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2016, income taxes expense related to our operations in the PRC amounted to $21,927.
The Company’s approximate net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the valuation allowance was $420,695 and $43,904 related to the U.S. net operating loss carryforward,
respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the valuation allowance increased by approximately $377,000. The Company
provided a valuation allowance equal to the deferred income tax assets for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 because it was not
known whether future taxable income will be sufficient to utilize the loss carryforward. The potential tax benefit arising from the loss
carryforward will expire in 2037. Additionally, the future utilization of the net operating loss carryforward to offset future taxable income
may be subject to special tax rules which may limit their usage under IRS Section 382 (Change of Ownership) and possibly the Separate
Return Limitation Year (“SRLY”) rules. If necessary, the deferred tax assets will be reduced by any carryforward that expires prior to
utilization as a result of such limitations, with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance.
The Company has been notified and assessed an IRS Section 6038 penalty of $10,000 for failure to file a foreign entity tax disclosure. The
Company has appealed the penalty and awaits the Internal Revenue Service’s review of the appeal. There is no assurance such appeal will
be successful.
The Company does not have any significant uncertain tax positions or events leading to uncertainty in a tax position. The Company’s 2017,
2016 and 2015 Corporate Income Tax Returns are subject to Internal Revenue Service examination.

Common Shares Issued for Share Subscription Agreement (continued)
The Company received cash payment of $3,000,000 as an earnest money from DOING in connection with the 3,000,000 common stock
issued to the March 2017 Accredited Investor who is an entrusted party that holds the shares on behalf of DOING and recorded the
$3,000,000 as refundable deposit on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Upon DOING completing the registration of the
acquisition of the March 2017 Shares with the BCC and obtaining an Enterprise Overseas Investment Certificate from BCC, the Company
will cancel the stock certificate issued under the March 2017 Accredited Investor’s name as an entrusted holder of the shares and the
Company will issue a new stock certificate under DOING’s name. The $3,000,000 refundable deposit, which paid by DOING as an earnest
money will be applied as the proceeds for issuance of the 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under DOING’s name at the
closing date.
The Company is subject to the contingency of paying interest liability upon the request of DOING if DOING fails to complete the
registration and obtain the Enterprise Overseas Investment Certificate within one year. The Company records accrual for such contingency
based upon the assessment of the probability of occurrence and, where determinable, an estimate of the liability. Management may
consider many factors in making these assessments including past history and the specifics of this matter. The Company did not accrue any
interest for the BCC Repayment Obligation since management has evaluated the claim and concluded the likelihood of the claim is remote.
Common Shares Issued for Intangible Assets Purchased
On October 25, 2017, GenExosome entered into and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Yu Zhou, MD, PhD, pursuant to which the
Company acquired four patents and other technologies from Dr. Zhou in consideration of $876,087 in cash and 500,000 shares of common
stock of the Company and 400 shares of common stock of GenExosome (See Note 1).
The fair value of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock given to acquire those intangible assets was $500,000 which was valued
based on the most recent sale price of the Company’s common share.
A portion of consideration given for the intangible assets acquisition is in the form of GenExosome’s equity interest. The fair value of 400
shares of GenExosome’s common stock given to acquire those intangible assets was $1,217,391 which was valued based on the most recent
sale price of 600 shares of GenExosome’s common stock, which was sold to the Company on October 25, 2017 pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement entered into by GenExosome and the Company. The fair value of 400 shares of GenExosome’s common stock was
recorded as additional paid-in capital. To determine the fair value of GenExosome’s equity consideration given to acquire those intangible
assets, the Company used the fair value of equity interest issued since it was determined to be a better indicator than the fair value of the
intangible assets acquired. Therefore, the measurement of fair value of GenExosome’s equity interest is based on the fair value of the 400
shares of GenExosome’s common stock given for the intangible assets acquisition since it is determined to be more clearly evident and,
thus, more reliably measurable.

NOTE 22 – RESTRICTED NET ASSETS
A portion of the Company’s operations are conducted through its PRC subsidiaries, which can only pay dividends out of their retained
earnings determined in accordance with the accounting standards and regulations in the PRC and after they have met the PRC requirements
for appropriation to statutory reserve. In addition, a portion of the Company’s businesses and assets are denominated in RMB, which is not
freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the People’s Bank of China or other
banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China. Approval of foreign
currency payments by the People’s Bank of China or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together
with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts. These currency exchange control procedures imposed by the PRC
government authorities may restrict the ability of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries to transfer their net assets to the Parent Company
through loans, advances or cash dividends.
Schedule I of Article 5-04 of Regulation S-X requires the condensed financial information of the parent company to be filed when the
restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries exceed 25 percent of consolidated net assets as of the end of the most recently completed
fiscal year. For purposes of this test, restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries shall mean that amount of the registrant’s
proportionate share of net assets of its consolidated subsidiaries (after intercompany eliminations) which as of the end of the most recent
fiscal year may not be transferred to the parent company in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends without the consent of a third
party.
The Company’s PRC subsidiaries’ net assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 did not exceed 25% of the Company’s consolidated net
assets. Accordingly, Parent Company’s condensed financial statements have not been required in accordance with Rule 5-04 and Rule 12-
04 of SEC Regulation S-X.

obligated to DOING in the principal amount of $3,000,000. The Company and DOING are presently negotiating an extension of the BCC Repayment
Obligation through July 2018. There is no guarantee that such extension will be signed. (See Note 16 – Common Shares Issued for Share Subscription

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our
periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act, as of the end of the period
covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees,
management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2017.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal
control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of the financial statements of the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), our management conducted
an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 based on the framework in
Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
Based on our evaluation and the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 based on the COSO framework criteria. Management has identified
control deficiencies as follows:
● The Company has not established adequate financial reporting monitoring activities to mitigate the risk of management override,
specifically because there are few employees and only three officers with management functions and therefore there is lack of
segregation of duties.
● There is a strong reliance on outside consultants to review and adjust the annual and quarterly financial statements, to monitor new
accounting principles, and to ensure compliance with GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
● There is a strong reliance on the external attorneys to review and edit the annual and quarterly filings and to ensure compliance with
SEC disclosure requirements.
● A formal audit committee has not been formed.
Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff and
reliance on outside consultants for external reporting. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in
the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation.
To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along
with the use of legal and outside accounting consultants. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us
to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.
These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement to our consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, we have determined
that these control deficiencies as described above together constitute a material weakness.
In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were fairly stated in accordance with US
GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2017 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control
over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant
to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-
K.
32
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), does not expect that our
disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well
conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the
design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to
their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all
control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited
to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management
override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future
events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over
time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2017, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have
materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
Our Board of Directors (“Board”) is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes on behalf of the Company. The
Board receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our
company’s assessment of risks. In addition, the Board focuses on the most significant risks facing our company and our company’s general
risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by our company are consistent with the board’s appetite for risk. While
the Board oversees our company’s risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe
this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our board leadership
structure supports this approach.

Code of Ethics
The Company has a code of ethics that applies to all of the Company’s employees, including its principal executive officer, principal
financial officer and principal accounting officer, and the Board. A copy of this code is available in the Employee Handbook. The
Company intends to disclose any changes in or waivers from its code of ethics by posting such information on its website or by filing a
Form 8-K.
Nominating Committee
We have not adopted any procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.
Audit Committee
The Board of Directors acts as the Audit Committee and the Board has no separate committees. The Company has no qualified financial
expert at this time because it has not been able to hire a qualified candidate. Further, the Company believes that it has inadequate financial
resources at this time to hire such an expert.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our directors and executive officers are indemnified as provided by the Delaware law and our Bylaws. These provisions state that our
directors may cause us to indemnify a director or former director against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle
an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by him as a result of him acting as a director. The indemnification of costs
can include an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment. Such indemnification is at the discretion of our board of directors and is
subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s policy regarding indemnification.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise. We have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Section 16(a) Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of
our common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other of our

“Investment Certificate”) from BCC. If DOING fails to complete the registration and acquire the Investment Certificate within one year of
the closing then Avalon Shanghai shall transfer $3,000,000 with interest of 20% to DOING upon the request of DOING (the “BCC
Repayment Obligation”). As of the date hereof, the Company is obligated to DOING in the principal amount of $3,000,000. The BCC
Repayment Obligation is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial
obligation of the Company. Further, Lu Wenzhao, a director and shareholder of the Company, and DOING entered into a Warranty
Agreement. Pursuant to the Warranty Agreement, Mr. Wenzhao agreed to (i) cause the Company to be liable to DOING in the event the
March 2017 Accredited Investor defaults in its obligations to DOING, (ii) cause the March 2017 Accredited Investor to transfer the March
2017 Shares to DOING upon DOING’s receipt of the Investment Certificate from BCC, (iii) within three years from the date of the
Warranty Agreement, DOING may require Mr. Wenzhao to acquire the March 2017 Shares at $1.20 per share upon three-month notice, and
(iv) in the event Mr. Wenzhao does not acquire the March 2017 Shares within the three month period, interest of 15% per annum will be
added to the purchase price.

POLICY ON AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND PERMISSIBLE NON-AUDIT SERVICES OF
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Company currently does not have a designated Audit Committee, and accordingly, the Company’s Board of Directors’ policy
is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditors. These services may include audit
services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval
is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent auditors and
management are required to periodically report to the Company’s Board of Directors regarding the extent of services provided by the
independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The Board of Directors may also
pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis.
