PART I

Item 1. Description of Business

Introduction

Merion, Inc. is a provider of health and nutritional supplements and personal care products. Currently, we are mainly sellselling our products over the Internetinternet directly to end-user customers through our websites, www.dailynu.com andwebsite, at www.merionus.com, and to wholesale distributors through phone and electronic communication. Our major customers of our nutritional and beauty products are primarily located in the Asian market, predominantly in the People’s Republic of China. Our major customers of our Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) and packaging products are located in the United States (“U.S.”).

Company History

Merion, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was formed on February 4, 2011. Its predecessor, E-World USA Holding, Inc., was a California company incorporated in 2007 (“E-World CA”). In April 2011, E-World CA entered into a merger agreement with its wholly-owned subsidiary with the same name, E-World USA Holding, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“E-World NV”), that was the survivor of the merger and became the Company. Under the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 90,000,000 shares of its common stock on a one-for-one basis for each share of E-World CA’s common stock issued and outstanding at the date of the merger. In addition, the Company issued its Type A Warrants and Type B Warrants in exchange for comparable warrants issued and outstanding of E-World CA at the date of the merger. On June 27, 2017, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State for the State of Nevada to change its name effective immediately, from E-World NV, to Merion, Inc.

Products

In June 2014, we suspended our direct marketing model in China in response to the legal action taken by the Chinese authorities. Since June 2014, we have soldbeen selling our products primarily over the Internetinternet directly to end-user customers and by phone/email orders directly to our wholesale distributors. Certain miscellaneous sales are made directly to customers who walk into the Company offices and customers who call the Company directly for products. We are now focusing on selling health and nutritional supplements and personal care products directly on the internet through our websites, www.dailynu.comwebsite at www.merionus.com and www.merionus.com.provide OEM and packaging products through third party manufacturing. As of the date of filing of this report, we market teneight individual nutritional supplement products. We did not develop any new products three and four of which were introduced in 2018 and 2019 respectively, and one beauty product, which was also introduced in 2018, on our websites.2021. We are no longer selling similar products of third parties on our websites.website.

In January 2018, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with SUSS Technology Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Seller agreed to sell to the Company substantially all of the assets associated with the Seller’s manufacture of dietary supplements (the “Nevada Factory”) for an aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) of $1,000,000 and 333,334 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Purchase Shares”) valued at $320,000. The Seller was one of our major suppliers during the year ended December 31, 2017. These assets met all industry nutritional and dietary supplement manufacturing standards, including U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Good Manufacturing Practice compliance and Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations. Upon purchasing these assets from the Seller, we started to manufacture some of the nutritional supplements that we sold until May 2021. In May 2021, we determined that it would be more beneficial to outsource to third-party manufacturers the production of our branded and OEM products rather than manufacturing through our Nevada Factory. As a result, we disposed of our factory machinery and terminated our Nevada Factory lease in May 2021. As we have significant continuing involvement in the sale of our branded and OEM products through our third-party manufacturers, this restructuring did not constitute a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. Therefore, the results of operations for our Nevada Factory were not reported as discontinued operations under the guidance of FASB ASC 205.

Company Products

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 which has limited global travel, transportation, and import and export of goods, the Company has focused more on its OEM and packaging business to provide private label supplement products or customized formula supplement products to wholesale and retail customers. We manufactured these products through our Nevada Factory prior to May 2021 and subsequently we purchase the raw material for the products and outsource to third-party manufacturers and packaging companies to produce and pack these products for our customers after we closed our Nevada Factory in May 2021.

For the wholesale and retail customers who are looking for private label products, we provide our own formulas, purchase raw material and contract third party manufacturers to produce products. For the customers who have their own formulas, we purchase raw materials and outsource to the third-party manufacturers and packing companies for their products.

We continue to sell our nutritional supplement and beauty products on our website. Our nutritional supplement products are made according to a micro molecular nutrition formula. To achieve the maximum effect of products, micro molecular health foods were designed to be absorbed by cells directly with minimum chemical conversion, which we believe promotes faster absorption. We believe our Companycompany is one of only a few companies in the market which are using a micro molecular nutrition formula.

In November and December 2016, our Dibeier Granules & Oral products successfully passed inspection by the Shenzhen Academy of Metrology & Quality Inspection and the Guangdong Quality Supervision and Inspection Institution for Food (Shenzhen). As a result, we were able to directly export these products to the China market and sell them at nutritional supplement stores in China as food, rather than only through our website. However, we have couple wholesale distributors selling other products and still exploring potential wholesale distributors in China to import these products. We are no longer selling Dibeier Granules & Oral products to individual customers in our website.

In January 2018, we introduced a new beauty product, Noir Naturel, a gentle formula for grey coverage from the first application into hair.hair care.

In September 2018, we introduced three different types of natural aphrodisiac supplements, Viwooba (1-3), for men that may support kidney health, improve immunity, enhance physical fitness, eliminate fatigue, improve sexual desire and enhance body energy, strength and sexual ability.

In March 2019, we introduced 1) Lady-S, a female dietary supplement that may assist with weight loss, 2) Gold King, a nutritional supplement that may provide antioxidant support and liver health, 3) New Power, a nutritional supplement that may support heart health, and 4) Taibao, a nutritional supplement that may enhance physical performance and energy metabolism.

In December 2019, we introduced RemageReMage Power, a nutritional supplement that may provide anti-aging Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)+ support and promote energy & cell metabolism.

The nutritional supplements’ and beauty products’ formulas do not have patent protection.

Sourcing and Production

Sourcing and ProductionOur Products

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we acquired our ingredients from the suppliers and 2019, we contracted for production of certain of our proprietary products from manufacturers that we believe are reliable, reputable and deliver high quality materials, products and services. During the year ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, we also acquired our ingredients from suppliers for direct production in our Nevada factory.factory until we disposed of our factory machinery and terminated our Nevada Factory lease in May 2021. In 2021, three suppliers accounted for approximately 69.2% of our total purchases: American Health Formulations Inc. (35.3%), Nutriient LLC (22.8%), and Myland Nutraceuticals Holding (HK) Ltd. (11.1%). In 2020, one supplier accounted for approximately 71.8% of our total purchases: Xi’anXi'an Yanhao Bio-tech Co.,Ltd.

The loss of one or more of these suppliers could have a negative impact on our sales and revenues if we cannot find a substitute quickly or upon favorable terms.

The Company does not have a written or contractual agreementsagreement with itsour other suppliers or third party manufacturers. Our product ingredient sourcing and other manufacturing requirements are conducted on a purchase-order basis. If one or more of our current suppliers stopped selling us ingredients and/or if one or more of our current manufacturers stopped manufacturing our products, we would be forced to find other suppliers and manufacturers. The time needed to find other suppliers or manufacturers could outlast the inventory on hand and result in loss of sales.

We maintain good relationships with our suppliers and do not anticipate that any of our suppliers will terminate such relationships in the near term. We also have ongoing relationships with secondary and tertiary suppliers. In the event that we become unable to source any products or ingredients from our major suppliers, we believe that we would be able to produce or replace those products or substitute source these ingredients from our secondary and tertiary suppliers without great difficulty or significant increases to our cost of goods sold.

In January 2018, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with SUSS Technology Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Seller agreed to sell to the Company substantially all of the assets associated with the Seller’s manufacture of dietary supplements (the “Asset Sale”“Nevada Factory”) for an aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) of $1,000,000 and 1,000,000333,334 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Purchase Shares”).

Industry Analysis

The nutrition and supplement OEM and packaging business includes enterprises engaged in the production and packaging of health and nutrition supplements for third party customers. The revenue for health and nutrition supplements OEM business has experienced consistent growth over the five years between 2016 and 2021, driven by increased demand from consumers. Increasing consumer awareness of personal health and wellbeing is expected to be a key driving factor for health and nutrition supplements. The increasing number of products launched by small entrepreneur companies that do not have manufacturing capacity is also expected to drive the global health and nutrition supplements OEM market growth. Outsourcing is on the rise in the nutrition supplements industry and contract manufacturing helps supplement companies to approach the business processes in a customer-centric way, which helps lower costs, improve business efficiency and raise profits.

The nutrition industry includes many small and medium sized companies that manufacture and distribute products generally intended to enhance the body’s performance and wellness. The three major product categories within the nutrition industry are:

The nutritional supplement market is characterized by:

Competition

The market for nutritional products is large and intensely competitive. The Company competes directly with companies that manufacture and market nutritional products. The Company competes with other companies in the nutritional products industry by emphasizing the uniqueness, value and premium quality of the Company’sCompany's products and convenience of the Company’sCompany's Internet sales system. Many of the Company’sCompany's competitors have much greater name recognition and financial resources than the Company. In addition, nutritional products can be purchased in a wide variety of channels of distribution. While the Company believes that consumers appreciate the convenience of ordering products from home through the Internet, the buying habits of many consumers accustomed to purchasing products through traditional retail channels are difficult to change. The Company’sCompany's product offerings are also relatively small compared to the wide variety of products offered by many other nutritional product companies.

Marketing Plan

The Company signed a new lease agreement effective March 1, 2020 to open a New York office to expand its business in the New York market. The office willis intended to be used as the training center for market development. The Company will focus on promoting its new product (ReMage Power) in the New York market. ReMage Power is a nutritional supplement which provides anti-aging Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)+ support and promotes energy and cell metabolism.  However, due to the surge of coronavirus (COVID-19) cases continue to surge throughout the United States, we havedid not utilizedutilize the training center since the beginning of the lease.  In January 2021,Due to the U.S. federal government began rolling outoutbreak of new variants of coronavirus, we kept the COVID-19 vaccinationstraining center closed and we expect to start usingdid not utilize the training center in 2021. We will reopen our New York office after the summerpandemic eases off and use it for promoting our new product, a hair dye with gentle formula into the market.

As COVID-19 resurges with different variants, at-home COVID test kits are in a high demand, and have become the latest market trend that appears to grow for the coming years because they are relatively simple to perform with the immediacy of 2021 oncetest results. The Company is in the majorityprocess of establishing close working relationships with the U.S. populationsuppliers to find its position in this new market.

As the increased beauty and health demand of women, the Company plans to expand the beauty industry market by develop new beauty and anti-aging products, such as the 8D facial masks. The new products are expected to launch in  April 2022. The Company also plans to develop a new supplement that can help with the testosterone levels that is immunized.expected to be officially launched in June 2022.

They are easy to use and can cover gray hair in only 5 minutes. The products are planned to sell in US and Asian stores.

The Company is developing a new sales channel through Youbo which works as a live-streaming platform fully integrated into the WeChat app. Although this is a new live-steaming platform, Youbo has 3 million registered users within the first two months of its operation since 2019. The Company will promote its products through this new platform.

The Company also promotes its products through its websites.

A majority of the Company’s sales on nutritional and beauty products were generated from China for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Since June 2014, we have mainly sold our products over the Internet directly to end-user customers through our websites, www.dailynu.com and www.merionus.com, and to wholesale distributors. In March 2016, we launched an Affiliate Marketing Program, which has not been active since January 2017. The Company reactivated such program in January 2020. Members who successfully register with the affiliate program can earn up to a 70% commission from total sales amounts that achieved through their unique links assigned by the Company. However, no commissions were earned from the Members after the re-activation of such program in January 2020. We deactivated this program in November2021and 2020.

We believe that consumers have become more confident in ordering products like ours over the Internet. However, the nutritional supplement and skin care product e-commercee-business markets have been, and continue to be, increasingly competitive, and are rapidly evolving.

Research and Development

In 2018, we made efforts to internally develop an online platform called “E-Hospital”. We anticipated that E-Hospital would provide the latest and the most advanced U.S. health care information and products, including legally exported nutrition supplements and newly-released medication for local hospitals and other medical institutes in China through the Internet. We contacted doctors who would be partnering with our E-Hospital platform to provide periodic video consultation and overseas medical lectures to promote the exchange of medical information and developments. The collaboration of E-Hospital with overseas local hospitals could strengthen the recognition, popularity and reputation of overseas local hospitals, as well as expand the market share and increase the competitiveness of these hospitals.

We expect that the E-Hospital Services will eventually provide the following benefits:

Under our plan, the E-Hospital Services will also include the following:

The Company has put the E-Hospital project on hold in 2019 and 2020 due to the lack of funding to develop the online system and negative impact by COVID-19. The Company plans to resume the construction of the system as soon as we secure the funding for this project.

Government Regulation

Given uncertainties relating to our compliance with personal network marketing laws in foreign jurisdictions, the Company discontinued sales through the network marketing model in 2014, and began selling directly to end-user customers from our website.

We believe we are no longer subject to personal network marketing regulations since we discontinued sales through the network marketing model in 2014. Nonetheless, we are still subject to federal, state, local and foreign regulations. Various governmental agencies have an impact on our business, including but not limited to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Regulations promulgated by the FDA and other government agencies cover product ingredients, manufacturing, distribution, marketing, sales, compensation and taxation, to name a few. All of our products have certificates of free sales issued by the FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. If the Company were to fail to meet standards required by these regulations, then the Company could be prohibited from selling its products.

The Company plans to export its Dibeier Products into China to be sold over-the-counter in retail locations such as nutritional product stores, rather than only through our websites. Under Chinese law, to import these products into China, the Company must provide the Inspection Report from the Provincial Quality Supervision and Inspection Institution. In November and December 2016, our Dibeier Granules & Oral products successfully passed inspection by the Shenzhen Academy of Metrology & Quality Inspection and the Guangdong Quality Supervision and Inspection Institution for Food (Shenzhen). The Company also obtained the Product Chinese Name registration from local SAMR and the trademark registration in September 2016 from the Trademark Office of State Administration for Market Regulation (“SAMR”), formerly known as State Administration for Industry & Commerce of China.

Until we can generate significant revenues, if ever, we expect to satisfy our future cash needs through equity or debt financing.financing and advances from our major shareholder. We will need to raise additional funds, and such funds may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to continue operations, execute our business plan, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. This may seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In the event we are not able to continue operations our shareholders will likely suffer a complete loss of their investment in our securities.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our stock adversely, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market, or our competitors. If any of the analysts who may cover us change their recommendation regarding our stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our stock price would likely decline. If any analysts who may cover us were to cease coverage of our Company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile.

The market for our common stock will likely be characterized by significant price volatility when compared to more established issuers and we expect that it will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. The market price of our common stock is likely to be volatile for a number of reasons. First, our common stock is likely to be sporadically and/or thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of common stock by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of the common stock in either direction. The price of the common stock could, for example, decline precipitously if even a relatively small number of shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a market for shares of an established issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative investment due to our lack of profits to date. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the shares of an established issuer. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common stock will be at any time or as to what effect the sale of common stock or the availability of common stock for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.

Because the principal trading markets for our shares is the OTC Market, the corporate governance rules of the major U.S. stock exchanges do not apply to us. As a result, our governance practices may differ from those of a company listed on such U.S. exchanges.

Our governance practices need not comply with certain New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ corporate governance standards, including:

There can be no assurance that we will voluntarily comply with any of the foregoing requirements. Accordingly, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such corporate governance requirements.

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and require us to disclose information that is helpful to competitors, make us more vulnerable to litigation and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). Compliance with these rules and regulations requires significant legal and financial compliance costs and makes some business activities and decision-making process difficult, time-consuming or costly. Our senior management mayAs a public company, our competitor might be unableable to implement programs and policies in an effective and timely manner or that adequately respond to the increased legal, regulatory and reporting requirements associated with being a publicly traded company. Our failure to comply with all applicable requirements could lead to the imposition of fines and penalties, distract our management from attending to the management and growth ofbetter understand our business result in a loss of investor confidence instrategies and financial conditions from our financial reports and have an adverse effect on our business and stock price.public disclosure to compete with us.

Our future growth and stability depends, in part, on our ability to diversify our sales. Our efforts to establish new sales from existing customers and new customers could require significant initial investments, which may or may not result in higher sales and improved financial results.

Our business strategy depends in large part on our ability to develop new product sales from current and new customer relationships. These activities often require a significant up-front investment including, among others, customized formulations, regulatory compliance, product registrations, package design, product testing, pilot production runs, and the build-up of initial inventory. We may experience significant delays from the time we increase our operating expenses and make investments in inventory until the time we generate net sales from new products or customers, and it is possible that we may not generate material revenue from new products or customers after incurring such expenditures. If we incur significant expenses and investments in creating and purchasepurchasing inventory that we are not able to recover our cost, and we are not able to compensate for those expenses, our operating results could be adversely affected.

We are affected by extensive laws, governmental regulations, administrative determinations, court decisions and similar constraints, which can make compliance costly and subject us to enforcement actions by governmental agencies.

The formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, holding, storage, distribution, advertising and sale of our products are affected by extensive laws, governmental regulations and policies, administrative determinations, court decisions and similar constraints at the federal, state and local levels, both within the United States and China and in any country where we conduct business. There can be no assurance that we, our third party manufacturers or our independent distributors will be in compliance with all of these regulations. A failure by us, our third party manufacturers or our distributors to comply with these laws and regulations could lead to governmental investigations, civil and criminal prosecutions, administrative hearings and court proceedings, civil and criminal penalties, injunctions against product sales or advertising, civil and criminal liability for the Company and/or its principals, bad publicity, and tort claims arising out of governmental or judicial findings of fact or conclusions of law adverse to the Company or its principals. In addition, the adoption of new regulations and policies or changes in the interpretations of existing regulations and policies may result in significant new compliance costs or discontinuation of product sales, and may adversely affect the marketing of our products, resulting in decreased revenues.

We are currently dependent on a limited number of independent suppliers and manufacturers for the production of all our products that cannot be manufactured in our Nevada factory, which may affect our ability to deliver our products in a timely manner. If we are not able to ensure timely product deliveries, potential distributors and customers may not order our products, and our revenues may decrease.

We currently rely entirely on a limited number of third parties to supply and manufacture our products that cannot be manufactured in our Nevada factory.products. Our products are manufactured on a purchase order basis only and manufacturers can terminate their relationships with us at will. These third party manufacturers may be unable to satisfy our supply requirements, manufacture our products on a timely basis, fill and ship our orders promptly, provide services at competitive costs or offer reliable products and services. The failure to meet any of these critical needs would delay or reduce product shipment and adversely affect our revenues, as well as jeopardize our relationships with our distributors and customers. In the event any of our third party manufacturers were to become unable or unwilling to continue to provide us with products in required volumes and at suitable quality levels, we would be required to identify and obtain acceptable replacement manufacturing sources. There is no assurance that we would be able to obtain alternative manufacturing sources on a timely basis. Additionally, allsome of our third party manufacturers source the raw materials for our products, and if we were to use alternative manufacturers we may not be able to duplicate the exact profile of the product from the original manufacturer. An extended interruption in the supply of our products would result in decreased product sales and our revenues would likely decline. We believe that we can meet our current supply and manufacturing requirements with our current suppliers and manufacturers or with available substitute suppliers and manufacturers. Historically, we have not experienced any delays or disruptions to our business caused by difficulties in obtaining supplies.

We face significant competition from existing suppliers of products similar to ours. If we are not able to compete with these companies effectively, we may not be able to achieve and maintain profitability.

We face intense competition from numerous resellers, manufacturers and wholesalers of health and nutritional supplements and personal care products similar to ours, including retail, online and mail order providers. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, established brands in the marketplace, revenues significantly greater than ours and better access to capital than us. We expect that these competitors may use their resources to engage in various business activities that could result in reduced sales of our products. Companies with greater capital and research capabilities could re-formulate existing products or formulate new products that could gain wide marketplace acceptance, which could have a depressive effect on our future sales. In addition, aggressive advertising and promotion by our competitors may require us to compete by lowering prices because we do not have the resources to engage in marketing campaigns against these competitors, and the economic viability of our operations likely would be diminished.

The disruption of global supply chains due to pandemic has adversely effected our OEM business and profit margin due to increased input costs.

The production cost for the manufacturers in the U.S. have increased due to surging prices for commodities, raw materials, disruption of supply chain and labor shortage caused by COVID-19, which reduce the profit margin and caused the fierce competition in product price. We face the challenges to obtain sufficient raw materials from suppliers during the pandemic due to the port congestion and supply chain disruption, which has caused and might continue to cause delay of product delivery and disruption of manufacturing process for our OEM business, which has and could continue to adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

Adverse publicity associated with our products, ingredients, or those of similar companies, could adversely affect our sales and revenue.

Our customers’ perception of the safety and quality of our products or even similar products distributed by others can be significantly influenced by national media attention, publicized scientific research or findings, product liability claims and other publicity concerning our products or similar products distributed by others. Adverse publicity, whether or not accurate, that associates consumption of our products or any similar products with illness or other adverse effects, will likely diminish the public’s perception of our products. Claims that any products are ineffective, inappropriately labeled or have inaccurate instructions as to their use, could have a material adverse effect on the market demand for our products, including reducing our sales and revenues.

The efficiency of nutritional supplement products is supported by limited conclusive clinical studies, which could result in less market acceptance of these products and lower revenues or lower growth rates in revenues.

Our nutritional supplement products are made from various ingredients including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbs, botanicals, fruits, berries and other substances for which there is a long history of human consumption. However, there is little long-term experience with human consumption of certain product ingredients or combinations of ingredients in concentrated form. Although we believe all of our products fall within the generally known safe limits for daily doses of each ingredient contained within them, nutrition science is imperfect. Moreover, some people have peculiar sensitivities or reactions to nutrients commonly found in foods, and may have similar sensitivities or reactions to nutrients contained in our products. Furthermore, nutritional science is subject to change based on new research. New scientific evidence may disprove the efficacy of our products or prove our products to have effects not previously known. We could be adversely affected by studies that may assert that our products are ineffective or harmful to consumers, or if adverse effects are associated with a competitor’s similar products.

Our products may not meet health and safety standards or could become contaminated.

We do not have control over all of the third parties involved in the manufacturing of our products and their compliance with government health and safety standards. Even if our products meet these standards they could otherwise become contaminated. A failure to meet these standards or contamination could occur in our operations or those of our distributors or suppliers. This could result in expensive production interruptions, recalls and liability claims. Moreover, negative publicity could be generated from false, unfounded or nominal liability claims or limited recalls. Any of these failures or occurrences could negatively affect our business and financial performance.

Compliance with new and existing laws and governmental regulations could increase our costs significantly and adversely affect our results of operations.

The processing, formulation, safety, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, advertising and distribution of our products are subject to federal laws and regulation by one or more federal agencies, including the FDA. These activities are also regulated by various state, local and international laws and agencies of the states and localities in which our products are sold. Government regulations may prevent or delay the introduction, or require the reformulation, of our products, which could result in lost revenues and increased costs to us. For example, the FDA regulates, among other things, the composition, safety, manufacture, labeling and marketing of dietary ingredients and dietary supplements (including vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other dietary ingredients for human use). Dietary supplements and dietary ingredients that do not comply with FDA’s regulations and/or the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (“DSHEA”("DSHEA") will be deemed adulterated or misbranded. Manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements and dietary ingredients are prohibited from marketing products that are adulterated or misbranded, and the FDA may take enforcement action against any adulterated or misbranded dietary supplement on the market. The FDA has broad enforcement powers. If we violate applicable regulatory requirements, the FDA may bring enforcement actions against us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.

The FDA may not accept the evidence of safety for any new dietary ingredient that we may wish to market, may determine that a particular dietary supplement or ingredient presents an unacceptable health risk based on the required submission of serious adverse events or other information, and may determine that a particular claim or statement of nutritional value that we use to support the marketing of a dietary supplement is an impermissible drug claim, is not substantiated, or is an unauthorized version of a “health"health claim.”" Any of these actions could prevent us from marketing particular dietary supplement products or making certain claims or statements with respect to those products. The FDA could also require us to remove a particular product from the market. Any future recall or removal would result in additional costs to us, including lost revenues from any products that we are required to remove from the market, any of which could be material. Any product recalls or removals could also lead to an increased risk of litigation and liability, substantial costs, and reduced growth prospects.

We could be exposed to product liability claims or other litigation, which may be costly and could materially adversely affect our operations.

We could face financial liability due to product liability claims if the use of our products results in significant loss or injury. Additionally, the manufacture and sale of our products involves the risk of injury to consumers from tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. We could be exposed to future product liability claims that, among others: our products contain contaminants; we provide consumers with inadequate instructions about product use; or we provide inadequate warning about side effects or interactions of our products with other substances. Even if we were to prevail in any such claims, the cost of litigation and settlement could be significant. We do not maintain product liability insurance, and could experience significant losses from any litigation relating to our products.

Our business could be adversely affected by legal challenges to our business model or by actions restricting our ability to provide the full range of our services in certain jurisdictions.

We will be required to monitor our compliance with laws in every jurisdiction in which we operate, on an ongoing basis, and we cannot provide assurance that our activities and arrangements, if challenged, would be found to be in compliance with the applicable laws. Additionally, it is possible that the laws and rules in one or more jurisdictions may change in a manner that is harmful to our business. If a successful legal challenge or an adverse change in the relevant laws were to occur, and we were unable to adapt our business model accordingly, our operations in the affected jurisdictions would be disrupted, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A severe and prolonged downturn in the Chinese or global economy or disruptions in the financial markets may adversely impact our business and results of operations and may limit our access to additional financing.

The nutritional supplement and personal care industry can be affected by macroeconomic factors, including changes in national, regional, and local economic conditions, employment levels and consumer spending patterns. A prolonged slowdown in the Chinese or global economy could erode consumer confidence which could result in changes to consumer spending patterns, which could be harmful to our financial position and results of operations.

In addition, the capital and credit markets isare experiencing volatility and the availability of funds remains limited, we will incur increased costs associated with equity and/or debt financing. It is possible that our ability to access the capital and credit markets may be limited by these or other factors at a time when we would like, or need, to do so, which could have an adverse impact on our ability to refinance maturing debt and/or react to changing economic and business conditions. In addition, fluctuations in interest rates could impact our floating rate debt negatively and increase our debt obligations.

Loss of key personnel could impair our ability to operate.

Our success depends on hiring, retaining and integrating senior management and skilled employees. We are currently dependent on certain current key employees, including Mr. DinghuaDing Hua Wang, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and director, who is vital to our ability to grow our business and achieve profitability. As with all personal service providers, our officers can terminate their relationship with us at will. Our inability to retain these individuals may result in our reduced ability to operate our business.

DinghuaDing Hua Wang has control over key decision making as a result of his control of a majority of our voting stock.

Mr. DinghuaDing Hua Wang, a member of the Board of Directors and our Chief Executive and Financial Officer, beneficially owns 94,711,91227,717,082 shares, or 50.9%45.1%, of our outstanding common stock. Mr. Dinghua Wang iswill be able to exercise voting rights with respect to these shares of common stock, and has the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, including the election of directors and any merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentrated control could delay, defer, or prevent a change of control, merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets that our other shareholders support, or conversely this concentrated control could result in the consummation of such a transaction that our other shareholders do not support. This concentrated control could also discourage a potential investor from acquiring our common stock due to the limited voting power of such stock. As a board member and officer, Mr. Dinghua Wang owes a fiduciary duty to our shareholders and must act in good faith in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of our shareholders. As a shareholder, even a controlling shareholder, Mr. Dinghua Wang is entitled to vote his shares, and shares over which he has voting control, in his own interests, which may not always be in the interests of our shareholders.

Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and litigation to protect our intellectual property rights may be costly.

We rely primarily on trade secrets and other contractual restrictions to protect our intellectual property. We have not registered or applied for protections for most of our intellectual property or proprietary technologies relating to the formulations of nutritional supplements that we produce. To protect our proprietary technology and processes, we also rely in part on nondisclosure agreements with our employees, licensing partners, third-party producers, consultants, agents and other organizations to which we disclose our proprietary information. The actions we have taken to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate to provide us with meaningful protection or commercial advantage. As a result, third parties may use the intellectual property or proprietary technologies that we have developed and compete with us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

PRC intellectual property-related laws and their implementation are still under development. Accordingly, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in China may not be as effective as in the United States or many other countries. In addition, policing unauthorized use of proprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights and the outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Given the relative unpredictability of China’s legal system and potential difficulties enforcing a court judgment in China, there is no guarantee that we would be able to halt the unauthorized use of our intellectual property through litigation in a timely manner or at all. Furthermore, any such litigation may be costly and may divert management attention away from our business and cause us to expend significant resources. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair our intellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and would have to bear all costs arising from such litigation to the extent we are unable to recover them from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be exposed to infringement or misappropriation claims by third parties, which, if determined adversely against us, could disrupt our business and subject us to significant liability to third parties.

Our success largely depends on our ability to use and develop our know-how and product formulations without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties. We may be subject to litigation involving claims of infringement or violation of other intellectual property rights of third parties. The holders of patents and other intellectual property rights potentially relevant to our product offerings may be unknown to us or may otherwise make it difficult for us to acquire a license on commercially acceptable terms.

There may also be technologies licensed to and relied on by us that are subject to infringement or other corresponding allegations or claims by others which could damage our ability to rely on such technologies. In addition, although we endeavor to ensure that companies that work with us possess appropriate intellectual property rights or licenses, we cannot fully avoid the risks of intellectual property rights infringement created by suppliers of raw materials used in our products, our third-party producers, or by companies with which we work in cooperative research and development activities. Our current or potential competitors, many of which have substantial resources and have made substantial investments in competing technologies, may have obtained or may obtain patents that will prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, use or sell our products in China or other countries. The defense of intellectual property claims, including patent infringement suits, and related legal and administrative proceedings can be both costly and time-consuming, and may significantly divert the efforts and resources of our technical and management personnel. Furthermore, an adverse determination in any such litigation or proceeding to which we may become a party could cause us to:

These factors could effectively prevent us from pursuing some or all of our business and result in our customers or potential customers deferring, canceling or limiting their purchase or use of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We or the third parties upon whom we depend may be adversely affected by health epidemics, including the recent COVID-19 outbreak or other natural disastersdisasters.

In recent years, there have been outbreaks of epidemics in various countries, including China. Recently, there was anWith the outbreak of a novel strain of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in China, which has spread rapidly toin China and many parts of the world, including the U.S. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 a pandemic. The epidemicpandemic has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of office buildings and facilities in China and in the U.S.

Substantially all of our own product sales revenues are generated in China and all of our OEM and packaging products revenues are generated in the U.S. Consequently, our results of operations have been and may continue tocontinuously be adversely, and may be materially, affected, to the extent that the COVID-19 or any other epidemic harms the Chinese and U.S. economy. Any future potential impact to our results will depend on, to a large extent, future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken by government authorities and other entities to contain the COVID-19 pandemic or treat its impact, almost all of which are beyond our control. Potential impacts include, but are not limited to, the following:

Our results of operations for year ended of December 31, 20202021 have been negatively impacted. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak and potential resurgence,pandemic, the future financial impact related to the outbreak of and response to the coronavirus cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, andbut our results for the first quarter of and full year 20212022 may be adversely affected. We expect our total revenues in the first quarter of 20212022 to decrease year over year, and there is no guarantee that our total revenues will grow or remain at the similar level year over year in the next three quarters of 2021.2022.

In addition, our corporate headquarters is located in Los Angeles, which has in the past experienced severe earthquakes and other natural disasters. Consequently, if any natural disasters, health epidemics or other public safety concerns were to affect cities and regions that we have operations or cause travel restriction in such regions, our operation may experience material disruptions, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In general, our business could be adversely affected by the effects of epidemics, including, but not limited to, the COVID-19 pandemic, avian influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the influenza A virus, Ebola virus, severe weather conditions such as a snowstorm, flood, fires or hazardous air pollution, or other outbreaks.disasters. In response, to an epidemic, severe weather conditions, or other outbreaks, government and other organizations may adopt regulations and policies that could lead to severe disruption to our daily operations, including temporary closure of our offices and other facilities. These severe conditions may cause us and/or our partners to make internal adjustments, including but not limited to, temporarily closing down business, limiting business hours, and setting restrictions on travel and/or visits with clients and partners for a prolonged period of time. Various impact arising from a severe conditionThese conditions may cause business disruption, resulting in material, adverse impact to our financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

Adverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could impede the overall economic growth of China, which could reduce the demand for our products and damage our business.

We generate most of the sales of our revenuesnutritional and beauty products in China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are affected significantly by economic, political and legal developments in China. The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including:

As the PRC economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy, the PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. While these measures may benefit the overall PRC economy, they may also have a negative effect on us.

Although the PRC government has in recent years implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the PRC government continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the PRC economy through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and imposing policies that impact particular industries or companies in different ways. Our ability to operatesell our products in China may be harmed by changes in PRC laws and regulations, including those relating to how we conduct our business, taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. We believe that our operationsbusiness in China are in material compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. However, the central or local governments of the jurisdictions in which we operate may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations. Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant adverse effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then holdnegatively impact our sales in PRC properties or joint ventures.China.

If we are found to have failed to comply with applicable laws, we may incur additional expenditures or be subject to significant fines and penalties.

Our sales in the PRC are subject to certain PRC laws and regulations applicable to us. However, many PRC laws and regulations are uncertain in their scope, and the implementation of such laws and regulations in different localities could have significant differences. In certain instances, local implementation rules and/or the actual implementation are not necessarily consistent with the regulations at the national level. Although we strive to comply with all the applicable PRC laws and regulations, we cannot assure you that the relevant PRC government authorities will not later determine that we have not been in compliance with certain laws or regulations.

Inflation in China and measures to contain inflation could negatively affect our operations and growth.

While the PRC economy has experienced rapid growth, such growth has been uneven among various sectors of the economy and in different geographical areas of the country. Rapid economic growth can lead to growth in the money supply and rising inflation. If prices for our products rise at a rate that is insufficient to compensate for the rise in our costs, our business may be materially and adversely affected. In order to control inflation in the past, the PRC government has imposed controls on bank credits, limits on loans for fixed assets and restrictions on state bank lending. If imposed in the future, such austerity measures or other measures could lead to a slowing of economic growth. A slowdown in the PRC economy could also materially and adversely affect our business and prospects.

If relations between the U.S. and China worsen, our business could be adversely affected by the trade war and investors may be unwilling to hold or buy our stock and our stock price may decrease.

At various times during recent years, the U.S. and China have had significant disagreements over political and economic issues. Controversies may arise in the future between these two countries. Any political or trade controversies between the U.S. and China, whether or not directly related to our business, could reduce the price of our common stock. These controversies also could make it more difficult for us to providesell our products to our customers in China. The international trade policies of China and the U.S. could adversely affect our business, and the imposition of trade sanctions relating to import and export of goods, taxes, importtariffs and duties and other charges on imports from China or exports to China. Due to an increase in tariffs imposed by China on products from U.S., some of our customers might seek alternatives, which could have negative impact on our sales as we mainly sell our own products to customers in China. In order to avoid these new tariffs, the market has shifted towards an uncertain era.era including sourcing from other countries. Our sales during this stage may also be negatively impacted by this shift in behavior.
