Assets.

Item numbers of Form 10.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Overview
Effective
on December 23, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Target became a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company. The acquisition of the Target Company (the “Acquisition”) is treated as a reverse acquisition (the “Reverse
Merger”), and the business of the Target Company became the business of the Company. At the time of the Reverse Merger, the Company
was not engaged in any active business.
As a result, we are now, through the Target Company,
engaged in the growing, producing and distributing Chinese herbal teas with a side business line of designing and manufacturing water
purifiers.
Our executive
offices are located at East Jinze Road and South Huimin Road, Food Industry Economic and Technology Development District, Jinxiang County,
Jining City, Shandong Province, China.
Corporate History and Structure
China Herb Group Holdings Corporation (the “Company”)
was incorporated under the name “Island Radio, Inc.” under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 28, 2010. On December 9,
2019, the Company changed its corporate name to “Tengjun Biotechnology Corp.”
On June 27, 2012, Eric R. Boyer and Nina Edstrom
(collectively, the “Sellers”), who were then the major shareholders of the Company, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement
with Chin Yung Kong, Qiuping Lu and Fumin Feng (collectively, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Sellers sold to the
Purchasers an aggregate 4,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, which represented approximately 93% of the then total issued
and outstanding stock of the Company, for a total purchase price of $159,970 (the “Change in Control”). As result of this
share purchase transaction, Chin Yung Kong, Qiuping Lu and Fumin Feng became the controlling shareholders of the Company.
The Company’s original business plan was
to become a commercial FM radio broadcaster. Subsequently, following the Change in Control, the Company changed its business plan and
intended to become a medical and spa company with a focus on Asia. However, after consultation with its professional and business advisors
in the United States and the People’s Republic of China, the Company’s management decided during the third quarter of 2014
that this would no longer be its plan of operations. The Company’s plan of operations is to evaluate various industries, geographic
and market opportunities. This may take the form of acquiring a business, being acquired by an existing business or developing a business
organically. Any such efforts may require significant capital, which the Company currently lacks. There is no assurance that any such
opportunity will become available. There is also no assurance that, if any opportunity becomes available, the Company will have the financial
and other resources available to take advantage of such opportunity, since the Company has extremely limited liquidity. Through September
30, 2021, the Company has no revenues or operation.
As a result of the consummation of the Acquisition
on December 23, 2021 as discussed above, the Target Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the business of the Target
Company became the business of the Company.
The Target Company was incorporated on July 19,
2021 under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The authorized capital stock of the Target is 500,000,000 ordinary shares, all of which were
issued and outstanding prior to the closing of the Acquisition. Shangdong Tengjunxiang, our operating company, was formed on June 27,
2014, under the laws of China. Promptly after the Closing, the Target Company shall update the shareholder registration of the Target
to effect the Share Exchange Agreement. The Share Exchange Agreement was signed and agreed by and among all of the shareholders and/or
beneficial owners of the Target, the Target and the Company.
The diagram below illustrates our corporate structure
following the Acquisition:
Business Strategy
Compared with other teas,
dandelion teas enjoy the reputation of having health benefits in China. It is a household concept in China that drinking dandelion teas
may clean the consumers’ livers and purifying their digestion system. Target intends to leverage that deep-rooted concept to market
its products to the Chinese consumers.
As of September 30, 2021,
Target produced only two types of teas, green dandelion tea and black dandelion tea with another line of business of manufacturing and
selling consumer water purifiers. Target’s tea products are focused on not only their taste but also their aesthetic presentation
and health benefits. We have not started official marketing and distribution of our products. We plan to offer Target’s products
in certain flagship stores in China through regional representatives, online stores and wechat marketing.
The Target has devoted
substantial resources to establish the entire dandelion production chain, from research and development, plant cultivation, tea leaves
selection, processing, to storing and distributing to the market. Shandong Tengjunxiang was founded in 2014 and has used the past 7 years
to cultivate the dandelion farms, construct its tea manufacturing factory, research and development center and office buildings. Shandong
Tengjunxiang has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Kanglong, which is in the business of design, develop, and manufacture consumer water purifiers.
Our goal is to become
a household brand of dandelion tea in each city where we plan to operate our stores, by selling the finest quality teas and related products,
and by providing customers with premium post-sales services.
Principal Products
Target’s main products are Mincheng Black
Dandelion Tea and Mincheng Green Dandelion Tea, of various packages and sizes. Target’s subsidiary Kanglong focuses on designing,
developing and manufacturing consumer water purifiers in Shandong Province and other provinces in China.
In addition to the featured dandelion teas, Target
also is trying to market and distribute Ejiao (donkey hide gelatin candies), other tea products (including “Puxichun” tea),
packed multigrain porridge, and other nutraceutical products in Shandong Province and other provinces in China.
Production Process
Target Company has two operating campuses, Tengjunxiang
Campus I and Tengjunxiang Campus II, and one campus under construction. Tengjunxiang Campus I occupies approximately 52.5 acres of land
located in Jining City Food Industry Park. Inside Tengjunxiang Campus I, there is one tea factory of a total 16,000 square meters that
produces green dandelion tea and black dandelion tea. Target’s factory has received the “Quality Management System Certificate,”
“Food Safety Management System Certification” and “Environmental Management System Certificate” issued by Beijing
Shenghui Certification Service Co., Ltd. The Target’s factory is equipped with two modern tea production lines, three manual tea
selection lines, one smart packing line having the capacity of producing 6 tons of green dandelion tea and 3 tons of black dandelion tea
on a daily basis.
Our research center has developed modern processing
techniques to produce dandelion tea in a cost efficient manner. With respect to green dandelion tea production, the selected fresh tea
leaves will go through the following steps: cutting- spreading – transporting- finishing- cooling and transporting- air selecting-
spreading again- transporting- stir roasting- drying- and roasting again. Target uses a different method to produce dandelion black tea,
which involves cutting- lining and tuning – transporting- spreading and drying- kneading- cutting- transporting to the work station-
fermenting- dehydration- drying- and roasting. Target’s two tea production lines would require only nine workers in total to monitor
and facilitate the production process, which has saved the Target a lot of labor costs compared to the conventional labor-intensive tea
production process. On the other hand, each of the Target’s three tea selection lines would require approximately 120 workers to
operate in its full capacity.
Competitive Strength
The Target Company believes
the following competitive strengths will contribute to the future sales growth:
|
●
|
Premium Tea Products – Target can produce high quality dandelion green and red teas
on a large scale, which can satisfy customers’ need for freshness, healthiness, and trendiness in all seasons.
|
|
●
|
Focus on Dandelion- Target has shifted its production focus to dandelion teas with firm belief
that the Chinese consumers have unmet demands on dandelion products due to the Chinese herbal medicine concept that dandelion teas have
certain health benefits.
|
|
●
|
Cost Performance – Because Target can produce tea products on a massive scale from the
tea factory, Target offers high-quality teas for competitive prices in the Chinese consumer market.
|
|
●
|
Integrated streamline process- Target owns and controls the entire tea production line, from growing and
farming dandelion leaves (from its own farm and local farms with dandelion purchase arrangements), selecting dandelion leaves, processing
dandelion leaves into dandelion teas, packing and storing finished tea products.
|
|
●
|
Dedicated Marketing Team– Target is building its experienced and skilled marketing and sales team with the plan to distribute its dandelion teas in China.
|
|
●
|
High Quality Post-sales Services– Target has trained an experienced and knowledgeable
customer service team devoted to consumer post-sales services.
|
Sales and Marketing
We have not started the sales of our products
on a commercial scale. The Target plans to open at least one franchise store in each city, with a goal to reach 10,000 franchise dandelion
tea stores in China. Target plan to provide in-depth training to its sales force about its dandelion tea products, including their health
benefits and skills and tips of making dandelion tea. With respect to the supplies of tea products, Target intends to use the spoke-hub
model whereby each regional hubs would transport and distribute the tea products to local stores in that region and also collect the returned
products. With respect to consumers in Shandong Province where the Target’s headquarters are, Target has formed a seven-person sales
committee to research and analyze the customers’ feedbacks and needs for tea products and then continue to change and improve the
tea products. We expect to leverage the one trademark for the tea products, “Mincheng Dandelion” to further market and sell
our teas to provinces outside Shandong.
For future franchise stores outside Shandong Province,
Target plans to actively monitor and manage the performance of the stores and seek to incorporate information learned through the monitoring
process into its analytic process and future site selection and store retention decisions.
Target intends to team up with China’s leading
online stores and food ordering and delivery platforms to allow consumers to order its dandelion teas through the Internet. Most of our
tea products are suitable for delivery because of their long shelf life. The black dandelion tea in theory will not expire for years and
the longer it is stored under proper conditions the better the black dandelion tea will taste.
Employees
We currently have 19
full-time employees who work primarily from Shandong, China. We have employment contracts with all of our full-time employees in accordance
with the relevant PRC laws. There are no collective bargaining contracts covering any of our full-time employees. We believe our relationship
with our full-time employees is satisfactory. In addition, from time to time, we hire part-time workers and currently we have approximately
103 part-time workers.
We have made employee
benefit contributions in accordance with relevant Chinese regulations, including retirement insurance, unemployment insurance, medical
insurance, housing fund, work injury insurance and birth insurance. The Company recorded the contribution in the general administration
expenses when incurred.
Intellectual Property
We and the Target Company rely on a combination
of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. Despite
our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our technology and
brand names. Monitoring unauthorized use of our products and brands is difficult and costly, and we cannot be certain that the steps we
have taken will prevent misappropriation of our technology and brand names, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect
our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. From time to time, we may have to resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual
property rights, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources.
In addition, third parties may initiate litigation
against us alleging infringement of their proprietary rights. In the event of a successful claim of infringement and our failure or inability
to develop non-infringing technology or license the infringed or similar technology on a timely basis, our business could be harmed. In
addition, even if we are able to license the infringed or similar technology, license fees could be substantial and may adversely affect
our results of operations. See also our discussion of protection of our intellectual property under the “Risk Factors.”
As of the date of this
current report, the Target, including its subsidiaries, has 18 utility model patents registered in China regarding its water purifiers,
all of which are registered under its subsidiary Kanglong. In addition, the Target, through Shandong Tengjunxiang, owns the trademark
of “Mincheng Dandelion” (in Chinese) registered with China Intellectual Property Administration.
Insurance
As required by laws and
regulations in China, we participate in various employee social security plans that are organized by municipal and provincial governments,
including housing, pension, medical insurance and unemployment insurance programs. The Target is required under Chinese law to make contributions
to employee benefit plans at specified percentages of the salaries, bonuses and certain allowances of Target’s employees, up to
a maximum amount specified by the local government from time to time. As of the date of this report, all of the Target’s full-time
employees are fully covered by those employee social security plans.
Seasonality
The sale of our dandelion
teas (including green and black dandelion teas) is not subject to seasonality in China, however, the sales of consumer water purifiers
are. The period from March to October is the peak season for the sales of water purifiers, whereas the rest of a year is the off-season.
The Target is focusing on marketing and sales of its dandelion teas as the featured products for the entire company.
Research and Development
Producing Dandelion Teas– with our
researchers and skilled technical consultants, Target has developed and put into commercial production two modern tea production lines,
one for green dandelion tea and one for black dandelion tea, both of which have greatly enhanced the efficiency of making dandelion teas.
Our research and development center is dedicated to exploring more health benefits from dandelion plants and producing more commercially
appealing products.

TAXATION
United States Federal Income Taxation General
The following are the material
U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the shares of common stock of the Company. As used
in this discussion, references to “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Tengjun Biotechnology Corp.
The discussion below of the
U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the common stock of the Company
that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
|
●
|
an individual citizen or resident
of the United States;
|
|
●
|
a corporation (or other entity
treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States,
any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
|
|
●
|
an estate whose income is includible
in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or
|
|
●
|
a trust if (i) a U.S. court
can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial
decisions of the trust, or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S.
person.
|
A beneficial owner of our
common stock that is described above is referred to herein as a “U.S. Holder.” If a beneficial owner of our common stock is
not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, such owner will be considered a “Non-U.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable
specifically to Non-U.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Non-U.S. Holders.
This discussion is based on
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), its legislative history, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder,
published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These authorities are subject to change or differing interpretations,
possibly on a retroactive basis.
This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S.
federal income taxation that may be relevant to any particular holder based on such holder’s individual circumstances. In particular,
this discussion considers only holders that acquires our common stock pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement and own and hold our common
stock as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, and does not address the potential application of the alternative
minimum tax or the U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders that are subject to special rules, including:
|
●
|
financial institutions or financial
services entities;
|
|
●
|
persons that are subject to
the mark-to-market accounting rules under Section 475 of the Code;
|
|
●
|
governments or agencies or
instrumentalities thereof;
|
|
●
|
regulated investment companies;
|
|
●
|
real estate investment trusts;
|
|
●
|
certain expatriates or former
long term residents of the United States;
|
|
●
|
persons that actually or constructively
own 5% or more of our voting shares (including as a result of ownership of our common stock);
|
|
●
|
persons that acquired our common
stock pursuant to an exercise of employee options, in connection with employee incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;
|
|
●
|
persons that hold our common
stock as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, conversion or other integrated transaction;
|
|
●
|
persons whose functional currency
is not the U.S. dollar;
|
|
●
|
passive foreign investment
companies; or
|
|
●
|
controlled foreign corporations.
|
This discussion does not address
any aspect of U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as gift or estate tax laws, or state, local or non-U.S. tax laws or, except as discussed
herein, any tax reporting obligations applicable to a holder of our common stock. Additionally, this discussion does not consider the
tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold the common stock through such entities. If a partnership
(or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of our common stock, the U.S.
federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of
the partnership. This discussion also assumes that any distribution made (or deemed made) to a holder in respect of our common stock and
any consideration received (or deemed received) by a holder in connection with the sale or other disposition of our common stock will
be in U.S. dollars.
We have not sought, and will
not seek, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, (the “IRS”), or an opinion of counsel as to any U.S. federal income
tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the description herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover,
there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the
accuracy of the statements in this discussion.
EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR
IN OUR COMMON STOCK IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH INVESTOR OF THE ACQUISITION,
OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS, AS WELL
AS U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS AND ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.
U.S. Holders
Taxation of Cash Distributions Paid on Our
Common Stock
Subject to the passive foreign
investment company (“PFIC”) rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder generally will be required to include in gross income as
ordinary income the amount of any cash dividend paid on our common stock. A cash distribution on our common stock generally will be treated
as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent the distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and
profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Such dividend generally will not be eligible for the dividends-received
deduction generally allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations. The portion of such cash
distribution, if any, in excess of such earnings and profits, will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s
adjusted tax basis in our common stock. Any remaining excess generally will be treated as gain from the sale or other taxable disposition
of such common stock.
With respect to non-corporate
U.S. Holders, any such cash dividends may be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the lower applicable regular long term capital gains
tax rate (see “—Taxation on the Disposition of Our Common Stock” below) provided that (a) the securities are readily
tradable on an established securities market in the United States or, in the event we are deemed to be a PRC “resident enterprise”
under the EIT Law, we are eligible for the benefits of the Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the Government
of the People’s Republic of China for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Tax Evasion with Respect to Taxes on
Income (the “U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we are not a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend
was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirements are met.
If a PRC income tax applies
to any cash dividends paid to a U.S. Holder on our common stock, such tax may be treated as a foreign tax eligible for a deduction from
such holder’s U.S. federal taxable income or a foreign tax credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability
(subject to applicable conditions and limitations). In addition, if such PRC tax applies to any such dividends, such U.S. Holder may be
entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty, if such holder is considered a resident of the United States for purposes
of, and otherwise meets the requirements of, the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the
deduction or credit for any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty.
Taxation on the Disposition of Our Common Stock
Upon a sale or other taxable
disposition of our common stock, and subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or
loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock.
The regular U.S. federal income
tax rate on capital gains recognized by U.S. Holders generally is the same as the regular U.S. federal income tax rate on ordinary income,
except that long term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders generally are subject to U.S. federal income tax at a maximum
regular rate of 20%. Capital gain or loss will constitute long term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for
our common stock exceeds one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to various limitations.
If a PRC income tax applies
to any gain from the disposition of our common stock by a U.S. Holder, such tax may be treated as a foreign tax eligible for a deduction
from such holder’s U.S. federal taxable income or a foreign tax credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability
(subject to applicable conditions and limitations). In addition, if such PRC tax applies to any such gain, such U.S. Holder may be entitled
to certain benefits under the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty, if such holder is considered a resident of the United States for purposes of, and otherwise
meets the requirements of, the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the deduction or credit
for any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules
A foreign (i.e., non-U.S.)
corporation will be a PFIC if either (a) at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year of the foreign corporation, including its
pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive
income, or (b) at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year of the foreign corporation, ordinarily determined based on fair market value
and averaged quarterly over the year, including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at
least 25% of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends,
interest, rents and royalties (other than certain rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business), and gains
from the disposition of passive assets.
If we are determined to be
a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of our common stock, and the
U.S. Holder did not make a timely QEF election for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold)
our common stock, a QEF election along with a purging election, or a mark-to-market election, each as described below, such holder generally
will be subject to special rules for regular U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to:
|
●
|
any gain recognized by the
U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of our common stock; and
|
|
●
|
any “excess distribution”
made to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder that are greater than
125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of our common stock during the three preceding taxable
years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for our common stock).
|
Under these rules,
|
●
|
the U.S. Holder’s gain
or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for our common stock;
|
|
●
|
the amount allocated to the
U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution or to the period in
the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of our first taxable year in which we qualified as a PFIC will be taxed as
ordinary income;
|
|
●
|
the amount allocated to other
taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect
for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder; and
|
|
●
|
the interest charge generally
applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. Holder.
|
We have not made a determination
as to whether we would be classified as a “passive foreign investment company,” or PFIC, for our preceding taxable year nor
can we assure you that we will not be a PFIC for our current taxable year or any future taxable year. We do not expect ourselves to be
classified as a “passive foreign investment company” for our current taxable year.
In general, if we are determined
to be a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above with respect to our common stock by making a timely QEF
election (or a QEF election along with a purging election). Pursuant to the QEF election, a U.S. Holder will be required to include in
income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as long term capital gain) and other earnings and profits (as ordinary income), on
a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year
ends if we are treated as a PFIC for that taxable year. A U.S. Holder may make a separate election to defer the payment of taxes on undistributed
income inclusions under the QEF rules, but if deferred, any such taxes will be subject to an interest charge.
The QEF election is made on
a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and, once made, can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder generally makes a QEF
election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621 (Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified
Electing Fund), including the information provided in a PFIC annual information statement, to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return
for the taxable year to which the election relates. Retroactive QEF elections generally may be made only by filing a protective statement
with such return and if certain other conditions are met or with the consent of the IRS.
The rules dealing with PFICs
and with the QEF and mark-to-market elections are very complex and may be affected by various factors in addition to those described above.
Accordingly, U.S. Holders of our common stock should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to our
common stock under their particular circumstances.
Non-U.S. Holders
Cash dividends paid or deemed
paid to a Non-U.S. Holder with respect to our common stock generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless such dividends
are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by
an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains or maintained
in the United States).
In addition, a Non-U.S. Holder
generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain attributable to a sale or other taxable disposition of our common
stock unless such gain is effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable
income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains or maintained in the United States)
or the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of such sale or other
disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from U.S. sources generally is subject to U.S. federal income
tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
In general, information reporting
for U.S. federal income tax purposes should apply to cash distributions made on our common stock within the United States to a U.S. Holder
(other than an exempt recipient) and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of our common stock by a U.S. Holder (other than
an exempt recipient) to or through a U.S. office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside
the United States will be subject to information reporting in limited circumstances. In addition, certain information concerning a U.S.
Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common stock and adjustments to that tax basis and whether any gain or loss with respect to such
common stock is long-term or short-term also may be required to be reported to the IRS, and certain holders may be required to file an
IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets) to report their interest in our common stock.
Moreover, backup withholding
of U.S. federal income tax, at a current rate of 24%, generally will apply to cash dividends paid on our common stock to a U.S. Holder
(other than an exempt recipient) and the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of our common stock by a U.S. Holder (other than an
exempt recipient), in each case who:
|
●
|
fails to provide an accurate
taxpayer identification number;
|
|
●
|
is notified by the IRS that
backup withholding is required; or
|
|
●
|
in certain circumstances, fails
to comply with applicable certification requirements.
|
A Non-U.S. Holder generally
may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under
penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.
Backup withholding is not
an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a Non-U.S.
Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is
timely furnished to the IRS. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of backup withholding and the
availability of and procedures for obtaining an exemption from backup withholding in their particular circumstances.
THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION
OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. IT IS NOT TAX ADVICE. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT
ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING
OF OUR COMMON STOCK, INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGES IN APPLICABLE LAWS.
ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
The operating entity Shandong
Tengjunxiang is incorporated in the PRC, and some of our directors and executive officers reside in mainland China. Substantially, all
of our assets are located outside the United States. As a result, you may not be able to:
|
●
|
effect service of process upon the management or these persons within the United States; or
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
enforce against Shandong Tengjunxiang or these executive officers and directors in United States courts, judgments obtained in United States courts including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or of the securities laws of any state of the United States.
|
Shandong Tengjunxiang and
the Company have doubt as to whether PRC courts will enforce judgments in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments
of United States courts, based only upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities
laws of any state of the United States.
In addition, as PRC does
not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts within the United States, the United
Kingdom, Japan or most other members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, administrative actions brought by regulatory
authorities, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other actions, which result in foreign court judgments (assuming such
actions are not required by PRC laws or the Company’s articles of incorporation to be arbitrated and that such judgments or rulings
do not violate the basic principles of the laws of PRC or the sovereignty, security and public interest of the society of PRC, as determined
by a People’s Court of China that has jurisdiction for recognition and enforcement of judgments).
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Company’s common
stock involves a high degree of risk. In determining whether to purchase the Company’s common stock, an investor should carefully
consider all of the material risks described below, together with the other information contained in this report before making a decision
to purchase the Company’s securities. An investor should only purchase the Company’s securities if he or she can afford to
suffer the loss of his or her entire investment.
Risks Relating to our Tea ancillary businesses
We may not be able to successfully implement
our growth strategy on a timely basis or at all, which could harm our results of operations.
We are at the development stage. Our ability to
successfully scale the tea and consumer water purification businesses depends on many factors, including:
|
●
|
Our ability to increase brand awareness in the PRC and to increase tea consumption;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
our ability to educate the consumers in general about the health
benefits potentially associated with dandelion teas;
|
|
●
|
the negotiation of acceptable terms
with our suppliers;
|
|
●
|
the maintenance of adequate distribution
capacity, information systems and other operational system capabilities;
|
|
●
|
buying, distribution and other
support operations;
|
|
●
|
the hiring, training and retention
of management and other skilled personnel;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
expanding our store presence and
enhancing the internet traffic to our tea products;
|
|
●
|
assimilating new store employees
into our corporate culture;
|
|
●
|
the effective sourcing and management
of inventory to meet the needs on a timely basis;
|
|
●
|
the availability of sufficient
levels of cash flow and financing to support our expansion; and
|
|
●
|
the short-term and long-term effects
of COVID-19 on the food services industry in the PRC.
|
Our limited operating experience and limited
brand recognition in other regions may limit our expansion strategy and cause our business and growth to suffer.
Our future growth depends, to a considerable extent,
on our expansion efforts into regions of the PRC outside Shandong Province. We have a limited number of customers and limited experience
in operating outside our current areas. We also have limited experience with market practices outside of our current areas and cannot
guarantee that we will be able to penetrate or successfully operate in any market outside of our current region, Shandong Province. We
may also encounter difficulty expanding in other regions’ markets because of limited brand recognition. In particular, we have no
assurance that our marketing efforts will prove successful outside of the narrow geographic regions in which they have been used. The
expansion into other regions may also present competitive, merchandising, forecasting and distribution challenges that are different from
or more severe than those we currently face. Failure to develop new markets outside our current areas or disappointing growth may harm
our business and results of operations.
We face significant competition from other
specialty tea and beverage retailers and retailers of grocery products, which could adversely affect us and our growth plans.
The Chinese tea market is highly fragmented.
We compete directly with a large number of relatively small independently owned tea retailers and a number of regional and national tea retailers,
as well as retailers of grocery products, including loose-leaf tea and tea bags and other beverages. We compete with
these retailers on the basis of taste, quality and price of product offered, store atmosphere, location, customer service and overall
customer experience. We must spend considerable resources to differentiate our customer experience. Some of our competitors may have greater
financial, marketing and operating resources than we do. Therefore, despite our efforts, our competitors may be more successful than us
in attracting customers. In addition, as we continue to drive growth in Shandong Province, our success, combined with relatively low barriers
to entry, may encourage new competitors to enter the market. As we continue to expand geographically, we expect to encounter additional
regional and local competitors.
If we are unable to maintain sufficient
levels of cash flow, we may not meet our growth expectations.
We may be unable to obtain any necessary financing
on commercially reasonable terms to pursue or maintain our growth strategy. If we are unable to pursue or maintain our growth strategy,
the market price of our common stock could decline and our results of operations and profitability could suffer.
Because our tea business is highly concentrated
on a single, discretionary product category, dandelion teas, we are vulnerable to changes in consumer preferences and in economic conditions
affecting disposable income that could harm our financial results.
Our tea business is not diversified and consists
primarily of developing, sourcing, producing, marketing and selling dandelion tea. Consumer preferences often change rapidly and without
warning, moving from one trend to another among many retail concepts. Therefore, our business is substantially dependent on our ability
to educate consumers on the many positive attributes of tea and anticipate shifts in consumer tastes. Any future shifts in consumer
preferences away from the consumption of tea beverages or dandelion tea would also have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
In particular, there has been an increasing focus on health and wellness by consumers, which we believe has increased demand for products,
such as our teas, that are perceived to be healthier than other beverage alternatives. If such consumer preference trends change, or if
our dandelion teas are not perceived to be healthier than other beverage alternatives, our financial results could be adversely affected.
Consumer purchases of specialty retail products,
including our products, are historically affected by economic conditions such as changes in employment, salary and wage levels, the availability
of consumer credit, inflation, interest rates, tax rates, fuel prices and the level of consumer confidence in prevailing and future economic
conditions. These discretionary consumer purchases may decline during recessionary periods or at other times when disposable income is
lower. Our financial performance may become susceptible to economic and other conditions in regions or states where we have a significant
number of stores. Our continued success will depend, in part, on our ability to anticipate, identify and respond quickly to changing consumer
preferences and economic conditions.
Our success depends, in part, on our ability
to source, develop and market new varieties of teas and tea blends, tea accessories and other tea-related merchandise
that meet our high standards and customer preferences.
We currently only offer black and green dandelion
teas under the brand name Mincheng Dandelion. Our success depends in part on our ability to continually innovate, develop, source and
market new varieties of tea beverages, tea accessories and other tea-related merchandise that both meet our standards for quality
and appeal to customers’ preferences. Failure to innovate, develop, source and market new varieties of tea beverages, tea accessories
and other tea-related merchandise that consumers want to buy could lead to a decrease in our sales and profitability.
We may experience negative effects to our
brand and reputation from real or perceived quality or safety issues with our tea products, which could have an adverse effect on our
operating results.
We believe our customers rely on us to provide
them with high-quality tea products. Concerns regarding the safety of our tea products or the safety and quality of our supply chain could
cause consumers to avoid purchasing certain products from us or to seek alternative sources of tea, even if the basis for the concern
has been addressed or is outside of our control. Adverse publicity about these concerns, whether or not ultimately based on fact, and
whether or not involving our tea products, could discourage consumers from buying our tea and have an adverse effect on our brand, reputation
and operating results.
Furthermore, the sale of our tea entails
a risk of product liability claims and the resulting negative publicity. For example, tea leaves supplied to us may contain
contaminants that, if not detected by us, could result in illness or death upon their consumption. We cannot assure you that product liability
claims will not be asserted against us or that we will not be obligated to perform product recalls in the future.
Any loss of confidence on the part of our customers
in the safety and quality of our tea products would be difficult and costly to overcome. Any such adverse effect could be exacerbated
by our position in the market as a purveyor of quality tea and could significantly reduce our brand value. Issues regarding the safety
of any teas sold by us, regardless of the cause, could have a substantial and adverse effect on our sales and operating results.
Use of social media may adversely impact
our reputation or subject us to fines or other penalties.
There has been a substantial increase in the use
of social media platforms and similar devices, including blogs, social media websites, and other forms of Internet-based communications,
which allow individuals access to a broad audience of consumers and other interested persons. As laws and regulations rapidly evolve to
govern the use of these platforms and devices, the failure by us, our employees or third parties acting at our direction to abide by applicable
laws and regulations in the use of these platforms and devices could adversely affect our reputation or subject us to fines or other penalties.
Consumers value readily available information
concerning retailers and their goods and services and often act on such information without further investigation and without regard to
its accuracy. Information concerning us may be posted on social media platforms and similar devices by unaffiliated third parties, whether
seeking to pass themselves off as us or not, at any time, which may be adverse to our reputation or business. The harm may be immediate
without affording us an opportunity for redress or correction.
A shortage in the supply, a decrease in
the quality or an increase in the price of tea as a result of weather conditions, earthquakes, crop disease, pests or other
natural or manmade causes could impose significant costs and losses on our business.
Although we have our own dandelion farm, we also
purchase dandelion leaves from local farms which have contracts with us. The supply and price of tea is subject to fluctuation,
depending on demand and other factors outside of our control. The supply, quality and price of our teas can be affected by multiple factors,
including political and economic conditions, civil and labor unrest, adverse weather conditions, including floods, drought and temperature
extremes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters and related occurrences. In extreme cases, entire tea harvests
from both our own farms and contract farms, may be lost or may be negatively impacted in some geographic areas. These factors can increase
costs and decrease sales, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Dandelion tea may be vulnerable to crop disease
and pests, which may vary in severity and effect. The costs to control disease and pest damage vary depending on the severity of the damage
and the extent of the plantings affected. Moreover, there can be no assurance that available technologies to control such conditions will
continue to be effective. These conditions can increase costs and decrease sales, which may have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
We rely significantly on information technology
systems and any failure, inadequacy, interruption or security failure of those systems could harm our ability to operate our business
effectively.
We rely on our information technology systems
to effectively manage our business data, tea production lines, communications, point-of-sale, supply chain, order entry and fulfillment,
inventory and distribution centers and other business processes. The failure of our systems to perform as we anticipate could disrupt
our business and result in transaction errors, processing inefficiencies and the loss of sales, causing our business to suffer. Despite
any precautions we may take, our information technology systems may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from circumstances beyond
our control, including fire, natural disasters, systems failures, power outages, viruses, security breaches, cyber-attacks and terrorism,
including breaches of our transaction processing or other systems that could result in the compromise of confidential company, customer
or employee data. Any such damage or interruption could have a material adverse effect on our business, cause us to face significant fines,
customer notice obligations or costly litigation, harm our reputation with our customers, require us to expend significant time and expense
developing, maintaining or upgrading our information technology systems or prevent us from paying our vendors or employees, receiving
payments from our customers or performing other information technology, administrative or outsourcing services on a timely basis. Furthermore,
our ability to conduct our website operations may be affected by changes in foreign, state, provincial and federal privacy laws and we
could incur significant costs in complying with the multitude of foreign, state, provincial and federal laws regarding the unauthorized
disclosure of personal information. Although we carry business interruption insurance, our coverage may not be sufficient to compensate
us for potentially significant losses in connection with the risks described above.
Data security breaches and attempts thereof
could negatively affect our reputation, credibility and business.
We collect and store personal information relating
to our customers and employees, including their personally identifiable information, and rely on third parties for the operation of the
various social media tools and websites we use as part of our marketing strategy. Consumers are increasingly concerned over the security
of personal information transmitted over the Internet (or through other mechanisms), consumer identity theft and user privacy. Any perceived,
attempted or actual unauthorized disclosure of personally identifiable information regarding our employees or customers could harm our
reputation and credibility, reduce our ability to attract and retain customers and could result in litigation against us or the imposition
of significant fines or penalties. We cannot assure you that any of our third-party service providers with access to such personally identifiable
information will maintain policies and practices regarding data privacy and security in compliance with all applicable laws, or that they
will not experience data security breaches or attempts thereof which could have a corresponding adverse effect on our business.
Recently, data security breaches suffered by well-known
companies and institutions have attracted a substantial amount of media attention, prompting new foreign legislative proposals addressing
data privacy and security, as well as increased data protection obligations imposed on merchants by credit card issuers. As a result,
we may become subject to more extensive requirements in the future to protect the customer information that we process in connection with
the purchase of our products, resulting in increased compliance costs.
Our business, results of operations and
financial condition may be adversely affected by global public health epidemics, including the strain of coronavirus known as COVID-19.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus
causing respiratory illness, or COVID-19, has surfaced in Wuhan, China, spreading at a fast rate in January and February of 2020, and
confirmed cases were also reported in other parts of the world. In reaction to this outbreak, an increasing number of countries imposed
travel suspensions to and from China following the World Health Organization’s “public health emergency of international concern”
(PHEIC) announcement on January 30, 2020. Since this outbreak, business activities in China and many other countries including U.S. have
been disrupted by a series of emergency quarantine measures taken by the government.
The extent to which COVID-19 negatively impacts
our business is highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. Our intended marketing and sales efforts of our products have been
delayed due to COVID-19. We believe that the coronavirus outbreak and the measures taken to control it may have a significant negative
impact on not only our business, but economic activities globally. The magnitude of this negative effect on the continuity of our business
operation in China and U.S. remains uncertain. These uncertainties impede our ability to conduct our daily operations and could materially
and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and as a result affect our share price and create more
volatility.
Litigation may adversely affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Our business is subject to the risk of litigation
by employees, consumers, vendors, competitors, intellectual property rights holders, shareholders, government agencies and others through
private actions, class actions, administrative proceedings, regulatory actions or other litigation. The outcome of litigation, particularly
class action lawsuits, regulatory actions and intellectual property claims, is inherently difficult to assess or quantify. Plaintiffs
in these types of lawsuits may seek recovery of very large or indeterminate amounts, and the magnitude of the potential loss relating
to these lawsuits may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. In addition, certain of these lawsuits, if decided adversely to
us or settled by us, may result in liability material to our financial statements as a whole or may negatively affect our operating results
if changes to our business operation are required. Regardless of the outcome or merit, the cost to defend future litigation may be significant
and result in the diversion of management and other company resources. There also may be adverse publicity associated with litigation
that could negatively affect customer perception of our business, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether we are ultimately
found liable. As a result, litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Our failure to comply with existing or new
regulations in the PRC, or an adverse action regarding product claims or advertising could have a material adverse effect on our results
of operations and financial condition.
Our business operations, including farming, food
processing, labeling, packaging, advertising, sourcing, distribution and sale of our products, are subject to the Food and Drug Safety
Law and Product Quality Law of the PRC and the applicable regulations. From time to time, we may be subject to challenges to our marketing,
advertising or product claims in litigation or governmental, administrative or other regulatory proceedings. Failure to comply with applicable
regulations or withstand such challenges could result in changes in our supply chain, product labeling, packaging or advertising, loss
of market acceptance of the product by consumers, additional recordkeeping requirements, injunctions, product withdrawals, recalls, product
seizures, fines, monetary settlements or criminal prosecution. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our results
of operations and financial condition.
In addition, consumers who allege that they were
deceived by any statements that were made in advertising or labeling could bring a lawsuit against us under consumer protection laws.
If we were subject to any such claims, while we would defend ourselves against such claims, we may ultimately be unsuccessful in our defense.
Defending ourselves against such claims, regardless of their merit and ultimate outcome, would likely result in a significant distraction
for management, be lengthy and costly and could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the negative
publicity surrounding any such claims could harm our reputation and brand image.
We may not be able to protect our intellectual
property adequately, which could harm the value of our brand and adversely affect our business.
We believe that our intellectual property, including
the trademark and patents, has substantial value and has contributed significantly to the success of our business. In particular, our
trademarks, and the unregistered names of a significant number of the varieties of tea beverages that we sell, are valuable assets that
reinforce the distinctiveness of our brand and our customers’ favorable perception of our stores.
We also strive to protect our intellectual property
rights by relying on PRC laws, as well as contractual restrictions with our employees, contractors (including those who develop, source,
manufacture, store and distribute our tea beverages, light meals, baked goods, tea accessories and other tea-related
merchandise), vendors and other third parties. However, we may not enter into confidentiality and/or invention assignment agreements with
every employee, contractor and service provider to protect our proprietary information and intellectual property ownership rights. Those
agreements that we do execute may be breached, resulting in the unauthorized use or disclosure of our proprietary information. Individuals
not subject to invention assignments agreements may make adverse ownership claims to our current and future intellectual property, and
even the existence of executed confidentiality agreements may not deter independent development of similar intellectual property by others.
Unauthorized disclosure of or claims to our intellectual property or confidential information may adversely affect our business.
From time to time, third parties may sell our
products using our name without our consent, and, we believe, may infringe or misappropriate our intellectual property rights. We will
respond to these actions on a case-by-case basis and where appropriate may commence litigation to protect our intellectual property rights.
However, we may not be able to detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property or to take appropriate steps to enforce, defend and
assert our intellectual property in all instances.
Effective trade secret, patent, copyright, trademark
and domain name protection is expensive to obtain, develop and maintain, both in terms of initial and ongoing registration or prosecution
requirements and expenses and the costs of defending our rights. Our trademark and patent rights and related registrations may be challenged
in the future and could be opposed, canceled or narrowed. Our failure to register or protect our trademarks could prevent us in the future
from using our trademarks or challenging third parties who use names and logos similar to our trademarks, which may in turn cause customer
confusion, impede our marketing efforts, negatively affect customers’ perception of our brand, stores and products, and adversely
affect our sales and profitability. Moreover, intellectual property proceedings and infringement claims brought by or against us could
result in substantial costs and a significant distraction for management and have a negative impact on our business. We cannot assure
you that we are not infringing or violating, and have not infringed or violated, any third-party intellectual property rights, or that
we will not be accused of doing so in the future.
In addition, although we have also taken steps
to protect our intellectual property rights in the PRC, other entities may have rights to trademarks that contain portions of our marks
or may have registered similar or competing marks in foreign countries. There may also be other prior registrations in other foreign countries
of which we are not aware. We may need to expend additional resources to defend our trademarks in these countries, and the inability to
defend such trademarks could impair our brand or adversely affect the growth of our business internationally.
Continued innovation and the successful
development and timely launch of new products are critical to our financial results and achievement of our growth strategy.
Achievement of our growth strategy is dependent,
among other things, on our ability to extend the product offerings of our brand and introduce innovative new products, including new tea
products. Although we devote significant time and resources to the development of new products, we may not be successful in developing
innovative new products or our new products may not be commercially successful. Additionally, our new product introductions are often
time sensitive, and thus failure to deliver innovations on schedule could be detrimental to our ability to successfully launch such new
products, in addition to potentially harming our reputation and customer loyalty. Our financial results and our ability to maintain or
improve our competitive position will depend on our ability to effectively gauge the direction of our key marketplaces and successfully
identify, develop, manufacture, market and sell new or improved products in these changing marketplaces.
Due to the seasonality of the water purifier
products and other factors such as adverse weather conditions, our operating results are subject to fluctuations.
Because of the seasonality of the water purification
line of business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that maybe achieved for the full fiscal year.
The impact on sales volume and operating results due to the timing and extent of these factors can significantly impact our business.
For these reasons, quarterly operating results should not be relied upon as indications of our future performance.
The sales of our products are influenced to some
extent by weather conditions in the geographies in which we operate. Unusually cold weather during the winter months or unusually
hot weather during the summer months may have a temporary decrease on the demand for some of our products and contribute to lower sales,
which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations for such periods.
Changes in the beverage environment and
retail landscape could impact our financial results.
The beverage environment is rapidly evolving as
a result of, among other things, changes in consumer preferences; shifting consumer tastes and needs; changes in consumer lifestyles;
and competitive product and pricing pressures. In addition, the beverage retail landscape is dynamic and constantly evolving, not only
in emerging and developing marketplaces, where modern trade is growing at a faster pace than traditional trade outlets, but also in developed
marketplaces, where discounters and value stores, as well as the volume of transactions through e-commerce, are growing at a rapid pace.
If we are unable to successfully adapt to the rapidly changing environment and retail landscape, our share of sales, volume growth and
overall financial results could be negatively affected.
Price increases may not be sufficient to
offset cost increases and maintain profitability or may result in sales volume declines.
We may be able to pass some or all ingredient,
energy and other input cost increases to customers by increasing the selling prices of our products or decreasing the size of our products;
however, higher product prices or decreased product sizes may also result in a reduction in sales volume and/or consumption. If we are
not able to increase our selling prices or reduce product sizes sufficiently to offset increased raw material, energy or other input costs,
including packaging, direct labor, overhead and employee benefits, or if our sales volume decreases significantly, there could be a negative
impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our failure to accurately forecast customer
demand for our products, or to quickly adjust to forecast changes, could adversely affect our business and financial results.
There is inherent risk in forecasting demand due
to the uncertainties involved in assessing the current demand level of our tea products. We will be setting target levels for the production
of our beverages and foods in advance of customer orders based upon our forecasts of customer demand.
If our forecasts exceed demand, we could experience
excess inventory in the short-term, excess manufacturing capacity in the short and long-term, and/or price decreases, all of which could
impact our financial performance. In addition, we may be contractually bound to minimum purchase commitments over a period of time which
exceed customer demand. Alternatively, if the demand exceeds our forecasts significantly beyond our current production capacity, we may
not be able to satisfy customer demand, which could result in a loss of market share if our competitors are able to meet customer demands.
A failure to accurately predict the level of demand for our products could adversely affect our net revenues and net income.
Incidents involving tampering, adulteration,
contamination or mislabeling of our dandelion tea, whether or not accurate, as well as adverse public or medical opinions about the health
effects of consuming our dandelion products, could harm our business
Instances or reports, whether true or not, of
unclean water supply or food-safety issues, such as food or beverage-borne illnesses, tampering, adulteration, contamination
or mislabeling, either during growing, manufacturing, packaging, storing or preparation, have in the past severely injured the reputations
of companies in the food and tea beverage processing, grocery and quick-service restaurant sectors. Any report linking us to such instances
could severely hurt our sales and could possibly lead to product liability claims, litigation (including class actions) and/or temporary
store closures. Clean environment, including farming, processing, packaging and storing environment, is critical to the preparation of
dandelion tea, and our ability to ensure a clean environment at each stage of production can be limited, particularly in some rural locations.
Additionally, we are evolving our product lineup
to include more local or smaller suppliers for some of our fresh tea leaves who may not have as rigorous quality and safety systems and
protocols as larger or more national suppliers. In addition, instances of beverage-safety issues, even those involving solely the restaurants
or stores of competitors or of suppliers or distributors (regardless of whether we use or have used those suppliers or distributors),
could, by resulting in negative publicity about us in general, adversely affect our sales on a regional or national basis. A decrease
in customer traffic as a result of safety concerns or negative publicity, or as a result of product recalls or litigation, could
materially harm our business and results of operations.
Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC
Changes in China’s economic, political,
or social conditions or government policies could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
Substantially all of our assets and operations
are currently located in China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects may be influenced,
to a significant degree, by political, economic, and social conditions in China generally. The Chinese economy differs from the economies
of most developed countries in many respects, including the level of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control
of foreign exchange, and allocation of resources. Although the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization
of market forces for economic reform, including the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of improved
corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the government. In
addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating industries by imposing regulatory guidance or policies.
The Chinese government also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth by allocating resources, controlling payment
of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policies, and providing preferential treatment to particular industries
or companies.
While the Chinese economy has experienced significant
growth over the past decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. Any adverse changes
in economic conditions in China, in the policies of the Chinese government, or in the laws and regulations in China could have a material
adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China. Such developments could adversely affect our business and operating results, reduce
demand for our services, and weaken our competitive position. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic
growth and guided the allocation of various types of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but others
may have a negative effect on our operations. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected
by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. In the past, the Chinese government has implemented certain
measures to control the pace of economic growth, such as interest rate adjustments. These measures may decrease the auto-mobile based
transportation activities in China, which may adversely affect the overall auto insurance demands and our business.
Furthermore, our China based operating entities,
Shangdong Tengjunxiang and Kanglong, as well as our investors, face uncertainty about future actions by the Chinese government that could
significantly affect our financial performance and operations in China. As of the date of this current report, there is no laws, regulations
or other rules require our China based operating entities to obtain permission or approvals from Chinese authorities to list its affiliate’s
securities on U.S. exchanges, and neither we nor our China based operating entities have received or were denied such permission. However,
there is no guarantee that we or Shandong Tengjunxiang will receive or not be denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S.
exchanges in the future.
Changes in the policies of the PRC government
could have a significant impact upon our ability to operate profitably in the PRC.
Currently, we conduct all of our operations and
all of our revenue is generated in the PRC. Accordingly, economic, political and legal developments in the PRC will significantly affect
our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Policies of the PRC government can have significant effects on
economic conditions in the PRC and the ability of businesses to operate profitably. Our ability to operate profitably in the PRC may be
adversely affected by changes in policies by the PRC government, including changes in laws, regulations or their interpretation.
PRC laws and regulations governing our current
business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain and any changes in such laws and regulations may impair our ability to operate profitably.
Changes and uncertainty in PRC laws and interpretation may materially and adversely affect our business performance and impede our operations
in China.
There are substantial uncertainties regarding
the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our tea
business. The laws and regulations over Chinese food safety are sometimes vague and may be subject to future changes, and their official
interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness and interpretation of newly enacted laws or regulations
and amendments to existing laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business operations. New laws and regulations may also have
retroactive effects on our operations in certain circumstances. We cannot predict what effect the new PRC laws and regulations and new
interpretation of existing PRC laws or regulations may have on our business.
On July 6, 2021, the General Office of the Communist
Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued an announcement to crack down on illegal activities
in the securities market and promote the high-quality development of the capital market, which, among other things, requires the relevant
governmental authorities to strengthen cross-border oversight of law-enforcement and judicial cooperation, to enhance supervision over
China-based companies listed overseas, and to establish and improve the system of extraterritorial application of the PRC securities laws.
Since this announcement is relatively new, uncertainties still exist in relation to how soon legislative or administrative regulation
making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified
or promulgated, if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on companies like us.
Because our business is conducted in Chinese
dollars or RMB and the price of our common stock is quoted in United States dollars, changes in currency conversion rates may affect the
amount of proceeds we will receive after the currency exchange from U.S. dollars to RMB.
Our business is conducted in the PRC, our internal
books and records are recorded in renminbi or “RMB”, which is the legal currency of the PRC, and the audited consolidated
financial statements that we file with the SEC and provide to our shareholders are presented in United States dollars. Changes in the
exchange rate between the RMB and U.S. dollars would affect the value of our assets and the results of our operations denominated in United
States dollars. The value of the RMB against the United States dollars and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other
things, changes in the PRC’s political and economic conditions and perceived changes in the economy of the PRC and the United States.
Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenue and financial condition presented in
U.S. dollars.
If we become subject to the scrutiny, criticism
and negative publicity involving U.S.-listed Chinese companies, we may have to expend significant resources to investigate and resolve
such matters, which could harm our business operations, stock price and reputation.
U.S. public companies that have substantially
all of their operations in China have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity by investors, financial commentators
and U.S. regulatory agencies. Much of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity has centered on financial and accounting irregularities,
lack of effective internal controls over financial accounting, inadequate corporate governance policies and, in many cases, allegations
of fraudulent activities. As a result of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity, the publicly traded stocks of many U.S. listed
Chinese companies have experienced and may experience in the future high volatility in trading prices and market value and, in some cases,
may be subject to the delisting procedures from the national stock exchanges. Some of these companies are now subject to shareholder lawsuits
and SEC enforcement actions and are conducting internal and external investigations into the allegations. It is not clear what effect
this sector-wide scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity will have on our business and stock prices when listed on a national stock
exchange. If we become the subject of any unfavorable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or false, we will have
to expend significant capital and time to investigate such allegations and defend our company. If such allegations are proven to have
merits, we and our business operations could be severely affected and you could sustain a significant loss in your investment in our common
stock.
Increases in labor costs in the PRC may
adversely affect our business and our profitability.
China’s economy has experienced increases
in labor costs in recent years, which is expected to continue to grow. The average wage level for our employees has also increased in
recent years. We expect that our labor costs, including wages and employee benefits and additional personal protective equipment during
COVID-19, will continue to increase. Unless we are able to pass on these increased labor costs to our customers by increasing prices for
our services or insurance products, our profitability and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
In addition, we have been subject to stricter
regulatory requirements in terms of entering into labor contracts with our employees and paying various statutory employee benefits, including
pensions, housing fund, medical insurance, work-related injury insurance, unemployment insurance and childbearing insurance to designated
government agencies for the benefits of our employees. Pursuant to the PRC Labor Contract Law that became effective in January 2008 and
its rules and amendments promulgated thereunder, employers are subject to stricter requirements in terms of labor contracts, minimum wages,
payments of remuneration, terms of probation and unilateral termination of labor contracts. In the event that we decide to terminate some
of our employees or otherwise alter our employment or labor practices, the PRC Labor Contract Law and regulations may limit our ability
to effect those changes in a desirable or cost-effective manner, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
As the interpretation and implementation of the
PRC Labor Contract Laws and regulations continue evolving, we cannot assure you that our employment practice does not and will not violate
such rules and regulations in China, which may subject us to labor disputes or government investigations. If we are deemed to have violated
relevant labor laws and regulations, we could be required to provide additional compensation to our employees and our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Failure to make adequate contributions to
various employee benefits plans as required by PRC regulations may subject us to penalties.
Companies operating in China are required to participate
in various government sponsored employee benefit plans, including certain social insurance, housing funds and other welfare payment obligations,
and contribute to the plans in such amounts in relation to their employees’ salaries, as specified by the local government where
the business operations are. Such requirement to contribute to employee benefit plans has not been implemented consistently by the local
governments in China given the different levels of economic development in different locations. If we fail to make contributions to certain
employee benefit plans or fail to comply with applicable PRC labor laws or regulations in the future, we may be subject to penalties and
fines and/or catch-up contributions to certain employee benefit plans. A large lump sum payment obligation due to certain labor law violations
will likely negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Regulation and censorship of information
disseminated over the internet in China may adversely affect our business and reputation and subject us to liability for information displayed
on our website.
The PRC government has adopted regulations governing
internet access and the distribution of news and information over the internet. Under these regulations, internet content providers and
internet publishers are prohibited from posting or displaying over the internet content that, among other things, violates PRC laws and
regulations, impairs the national dignity of China, or is reactionary, obscene, superstitious, fraudulent or defamatory. Failure to comply
with these requirements may result in the revocation of licenses to provide internet content and other licenses, and the closure of the
concerned websites. The website operator may also be held liable for such censored information displayed on or linked to the websites.
If our website is found to be in violation of any such requirements, we may be penalized by relevant authorities, and our online insurance
operations or reputation could be adversely affected.
The Chinese government exerts substantial
influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities. We are currently not required to obtain approval from any
Chinese authority to quote our common shares on the OTC Markets. However, if we were required to obtain any type of securities listing
approval from the PRC government in the future and were denied such permission, we would not be able to continue being quoted on the OTC
Markets or offering securities to investors, and therefore our share price would significantly depreciate.
The Chinese government has exercised and continues
to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulations and state ownership. Our ability
to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, insurance commissions,
property and other matters. The central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose new and restrictive 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, and result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our common
stock.
For example, the Chinese cybersecurity regulator
announced on July 2, 2021, that it had begun an investigation of Didi Global Inc. (NYSE: DIDI) and two days later ordered that Didi Global
Inc.’s application be removed from all the smartphone application stores in China.
Given the example of Didi Global Inc. and recent
statements of by the Chinese government indicating an intent to exert more oversight and control overseas offerings and foreign investments
in Chinese companies, our dandelion tea production business may be subject to various government and regulatory interference once this
Acquisition is completed and such regulatory actions could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to
offer securities to non-Chinese investors and directly cause the value and trading prices of our common shares to significantly decline
or become worthless.
Although we are currently not required to obtain
any permission from any PRC government to quote our shares of common stock on the OTC Markets, it will remain uncertain when and whether
we will be required to obtain any permission from the PRC government to do so in the future, and even when we obtain such permission in
accordance with the new rules and regulations, it will be unclear whether such permission will be rescinded or revoked at some point in
time.
In light of recent events indicating greater
oversight by the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”) over data security, we may be subject to a variety of PRC
laws and other obligations regarding cybersecurity and data protection, and any failure to comply with applicable laws and obligations
could have a material adverse effect on our business, our quotation on the OTC Markets, financial condition, results of operations, and
the offering.
The regulatory requirements with respect to cybersecurity
and data privacy are constantly evolving and can be subject to varying interpretations, and significant changes, resulting in uncertainties
about the scope of our responsibilities in that regard. Failure to comply with the cybersecurity and data privacy requirements in a timely
manner, or at all, may subject us to government enforcement actions and investigations, fines, penalties, suspension or disruption of
our operations, among other things. The Cybersecurity Law, which was adopted by the National People’s Congress on November 7,
2016 and came into force on June 1, 2017, and the Cybersecurity Review Measures, or the “Review Measures,” which were
promulgated on April 13, 2020, provide that personal information and important data collected and generated by a critical information
infrastructure operator in the course of its operations in China must be stored in China, and if a critical information infrastructure
operator purchases internet products and services that affect or may affect national security, it should be subject to cybersecurity review
by the CAC. In addition, a cybersecurity review is required where critical information infrastructure operators, or the “CIIOs,”
purchase network-related products and services, which products and services affect or may affect national security. Due to the lack of
further interpretations, the exact scope of what constitute a “CIIO” remains unclear. Further, the PRC government authorities
may have wide discretion in the interpretation and enforcement of these laws.
On June 10, 2021, the Standing Committee of the
National People’s Congress promulgated the Data Security Law, which took effect on September 1, 2021. The Data Security Law requires
that data shall not be collected by theft or other illegal means, and also provides for a data classification and hierarchical protection
system. The data classification and hierarchical protection system puts data into different groups according to its importance in economic
and social development, and the damages it may cause to national security, public interests, or the legitimate rights and interests of
individuals and organizations in case the data is falsified, damaged, disclosed, illegally obtained or illegally used. In addition, the
Office of the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission and the Office of Cybersecurity Review under the CAC, published the Cybersecurity
Review Measures (Revised Draft for Comments), or the “Review Measures Draft,” on July 10, 2021, which provides that, aside
from CIIOs, data processing operators engaging in data processing activities that affect or may affect national security, must be subject
to the cybersecurity review by the Cybersecurity Review Office. According to the Review Measures Draft, a cybersecurity review is conducted
by the CAC, to assess potential national security risks that may be brought about by any procurement, data processing, or overseas listing.
The Review Measures Draft further, if effective, would require that critical information infrastructure operators and services and data
processing operators that possess personal data of at least one (1) million users must apply for a review by the Cybersecurity Review
Office of PRC, if they plan to conduct securities listings on foreign exchanges. While the Review Measures Draft has been released for
consultation purpose and has not become effective (as of September 23, 2021), there is uncertainty about its final content, its adoption
timeline or effective date, its final interpretation and implementation, and various other implications. It also remains uncertain whether
any future regulatory changes would impose additional restrictions on companies like us.
We are subject to PRC laws relating to the collection,
use, sharing, retention, security, and transfer of confidential and private information. We have not been subject to any penalties, fines,
suspensions, investigations from any competent authorities for violation of the regulations or policies that have been issued by the CAC
to date.
However, it remains uncertain as to how the Review
Measures Draft will be interpreted or implemented and whether the PRC regulatory agencies, including the CAC, may adopt new laws, regulations,
rules, or detailed implementation and interpretation related to the Review Measures Draft. If any such new laws, regulations, rules, or
implementation and interpretation come into effect, we expect to take all reasonable measures and actions to comply therewith. However,
we cannot assure you that PRC regulatory agencies, including the CAC, would take the same view as we do, and we will not be subject to
the cybersecurity review by the CAC or designated as a CIIO. We may experience disruptions to our operations should we be required to
have a cybersecurity review by the CAC. Any cybersecurity review could also result in uncertainty to our common stock being quoted on
the OTC Markets, negative impacts on our share trading prices and diversion of our managerial and financial resources.
Risks Relating to Our Securities
You may experience dilution of your ownership
interests because of the future issuance of additional common stock of the Company.
In the future, we may issue additional authorized
but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our current shareholders. We may also
issue additional shares of our securities that are convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock, as the case may be, in
connection with hiring or retaining employees, future acquisitions, future financing, and other purposes. The future issuance of any such
additional shares may create downward pressure on the market price of our common stock. 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 any capital raising efforts
at a price (or exercise prices) below the price at which our shares may be valued or priced in a public market.
There is not an active liquid trading market
for the Company’s Common Stock.
There is no regular active trading market in the
Company’s Common Stock, and we cannot guarantee that an active trading market will develop. If an active market for the Company’s
Common Stock develops, there is a significant risk that the Company’s stock price may fluctuate dramatically in the future in response
to any of the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:
|
●
|
variations in our operating results;
|
|
●
|
announcements that our revenue or income are below expectations;
|
|
●
|
general economic slowdowns;
|
|
●
|
sales of large blocks of the Company’s Common Stock; and
|
|
●
|
announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments.
|
We together with the Target will incur additional
costs as a result of becoming a public company, and the new management will be required to devote substantial time to compliance initiatives.
As a public company, due to
the expansion of business, we including the Target will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that the Target did not
have as a private company. The Target as a wholly-owned subsidiary of us, is subject to the reporting and other requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”),
and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). These rules and regulations will require,
among other things, that we and the Target file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial conditions
and establish and maintain effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. We and the Target expect these
rules and regulations to substantially increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming
and costly, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the recently enacted Jumpstart
Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The Board, management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial
amount of time to these compliance initiatives.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements in this
current report on Form 8-K may be “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future
activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our
business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks,
uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially
from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those
risks discussed from time to time in this report, including the risks described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this report and in other documents which we file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Any forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and except as may be required under applicable securities laws, we do not
undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this current report.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues. We generated $290
and $64,973 in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease of $64,683, or approximately 100%, was

Operating Expenses. Our
operating expenses were $666,677 for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $606,157 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our
total operating expenses increased by $60,520 during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. Such increase
in operating expenses was mainly due to the increase in selling and marketing expense and general and administrative expenses of the dandelion
teas segment, partially offset by the decrease in general and administrative expenses of the water purifier segment.
Loss from Operations. Our loss from
operations was $666,445 for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $959,998 in the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was

2019. The decrease of $39,451, or approximately 131%, was principally caused by the decrease in other income and the increase in other
expense.
Other income was $10,763 for the year ended December
31, 2020 as compared to $30,112 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease of $19,349 was due to the decrease in government grant.
Other expense was $20,102 for the year ended December
31, 2020 as compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase of $20,102 was due to the disposal of the inventory.

The increase in working capital deficiency is
primarily due to an increase in loan from third party and increase in short-term bank loan.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019,
the net cash used in operating activities were $473,534 and $2,339,091, respectively. The decrease in the amount of $1,865,557 was primarily
due to the decreased net loss, decreased cash outflow in inventories, prepaid taxes, and advance to suppliers, partially offset by the
decrease in non-cash inventory allowance during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019,
the net cash used in investing activities was $181,531 and $5,873,155, respectively. The decrease in the amount of $5,691,624 was primarily
due to decrease in payment for construction in progress during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019,
the net cash provided by financing activities were $591,635 and $8,163,087, respectively. The net cash provided by financing activities
decreased by $7,571,452 was primarily due to the decrease in loans from related parties during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared
to the year ended December 31, 2019.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2020, we did not have any off-balance
sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our financial statements in conformity
with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States, which requires management to make certain estimates
and apply judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes
to be important at the time the financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review our accounting policies and how they
are applied and disclosed in our financial statements.
While we believe that the historical experience,
current trends and other factors considered support the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP, actual results
could differ from our estimates and such differences could be material.
Inventories
Our inventories primarily consist of dandelion
teas and water purifiers. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) and net realizable value.
Inventories consist of raw materials, goods in process, and finished goods. We review our inventories regularly for possible obsolete
goods and establishes reserves when determined necessary. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the allowance for obsolete inventories was
$0 and $369,335, respectively.

in March, 2021.
Other Income (expense), net. Our
other income (expense), net was $230 and 206 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change was principally

The increase in working capital deficiency is
primarily due to an increase in loans from third parties.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021
and 2020, the net cash used in operating activities were $319,710 and $356,941, respectively. The decrease in the amount used in operating
activities of $37,231 was primarily due to the increased accrued liabilities and other payables, decreased cash outflow in inventories,
offset by the increased advance to suppliers and prepaid taxes.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021,
the net cash used in investing activities was $279,705, compared to the net cash used in investing activities was $177,141 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was due to the payments for construction in progress during the nine months ended September
30, 2021.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021,
the net cash provided by financing activities was $612,003, while the net cash provided by for the nine months ended September 30, 2020
was $487,673. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities were primarily due to the proceeds from loan from third parties
and related parties, partially offset by the repayment of short-term bank loan during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2021, we did not have any
off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes
in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material
to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our financial statements in conformity
with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States, which requires management to make certain estimates
and apply judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes
to be important at the time the financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review our accounting policies and how they
are applied and disclosed in our financial statements.
While we believe that the historical experience,
current trends and other factors considered support the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP, actual results
could differ from our estimates and such differences could be material.
Inventories
Our inventories primarily consist of dandelion
teas and water purifiers. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) and net realizable value.
Inventories consist of raw materials, goods in process, and finished goods. We review our inventories regularly for possible obsolete
goods and establishes reserves when determined necessary. No reserve for inventory was established as of September 30, 2021 and December
31, 2020.
PROPERTIES
Our headquarters are located at East Jinze Road
and South Huimin Road, Food Industry Economic and Technology Development District, Jinxiang County, Jining City, Shandong Province, China.
Through Target, we own two operating campuses, including two office buildings (one 9-floor office building and one 3-floor conference
building), two warehouses (one for storing water purifiers and one for tea), dandelion farms and one tea factory of a total of 16,000
square meters.

Family Relationships
Huaping Lu is a sibling of Qiuping Lu, the former
CEO, CFO and director of the Company.
Board Committees and Director Independence
We do not have standing
audit, compensation and corporate governance committees, or committees performing similar functions. Our Board, as a whole, handles the
matters usually addressed by such committees. Our director Xianchang Ma is also the sole executive officer of the Company. Our Board does
not currently have any member who qualifies as an audit committee financial expert. We believe that the cost of retaining such a
financial expert at this time is prohibitive.
At this time, we have
not adopted corporate governance guidelines, a code of business conduct, a code of ethics or a related party transaction policy. We anticipate
that as we engage in a business combination and commence operations, we will implement appropriate corporate governance structures to
comply with SEC and/or stock exchange requirements that would be applicable to us at such time.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
We currently do
not have a compensation committee and the entire Board serves the functions of the compensation committee. The Board reviews the compensation
of each executive officer of the Company.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
No compensation has been paid
to our officers during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. We have no current plans to begin paying our officers any compensation
until our business becomes operational.
Director Compensation
No compensation has been paid
to our directors during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. We have no current plans to begin paying our directors any compensation
until our business becomes operational.
Employment Agreements
We have not entered into any
employment agreements with any of our executive officers or directors.
Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards
We do not have any long-term
incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance.
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
As of December 23, 2021, the Board of
Directors is comprised of three (3) members, one of whom is also the executive officer. As a result, there is a lack of independent oversight
of the management team, lack of independent review of our operating and financial results, and lack of independent review of disclosures
made by us.
Compensation Committee Report
We currently do
not have a compensation committee and our Board performs the functions that would have been performed by a compensation committee. Our
board of directors has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis in this report with management. Based on its review
and discussion with management, the board of directors recommended that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this current
report.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted the Code of Ethics as of the date of
this report.

Director Independence
No member of management
is required by us to work on a full time basis. Accordingly, certain conflicts of interest may arise between us and our officers
and directors in that they may have other business interests in the future to which they devote their attention, and they may be expected
to continue to do so although management time must also be devoted to our business. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise
that can be resolved only through their exercise of such judgment as is consistent with each officer’s understanding of his or her
fiduciary duties to us.
The OTC Markets, where
our common stock is quoted under the trading symbol “TJBH”, does not have any director independence requirements. In
determining whether our directors are independent, we refer to Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 4200(a)(15). Based on these criteria, we have
determined that Suzhen Zhang who served in that capacity at any time during 2020 met the independence requirements of the Nasdaq Stock
Market as currently in effect.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time,
the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement
of copyrights and other intellectual property rights and other claims alleging defamation, invasion of privacy, or similar claims arising
in connection with the news articles, pictures, and other contents published on the Company’s website.
As of the date of
this report, there are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or in which any director, officer or affiliate of
the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of the Company, or stockholder is a
party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company.
MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON
COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

On December 23, 2021, we issued 19,285,714 shares
of Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement to the eleven shareholders of the
Target. The issuance of the shares of our common stock to the shareholders of the Target was exempted from registration pursuant to Regulation
S promulgated under the Act because the offer or sale was made in an offshore transaction and no directed selling efforts were made in
the United States by the issuer, a distributor, any of their respective affiliates, or any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing.
In addition, the recipient of the shares certified that he is not a U.S. person and is not acquiring the securities for the account or
benefit of any U.S. person and agreed to resell such securities only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration
under the Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration; and agreed not to engage in hedging transactions with regard to
such securities unless in compliance with the Act.
During the year ended December
31, 2020, the Company sold an aggregate of 2,646,919 shares of common stock at an average price of $0.01 per share to investors pursuant

Common Stock
Upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the corporation, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all net assets available for
distribution to shareholders after payment to creditors. The common stock is not convertible or redeemable and has no pre-emptive, subscription
or conversion rights. There are no conversion, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock. Each outstanding
share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. There are no cumulative voting rights.
Each shareholder
is entitled to receive the dividends as may be declared by our Board out of funds legally available for dividends and, in the event of
liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of our assets after payment of liabilities. The Company is not obligated to declare
any dividend. Any future dividends will be subject to the discretion of our Board and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings,
the operating and financial condition of our company, its capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent factors.
It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.
There are no provisions
in our Articles of Incorporation or our Bylaws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our company.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared
or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our

who were not parties to the proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors
so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination
is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the company.
