Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:follows:
Level1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement |
Level2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market |
Level3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available |

(“Epicon”) amounted to $0 and equipment consisted$485,008, respectively. The investment represents the Company’s subsidiary, Avalon Shanghai’s interest in Epicon. Epicon was incorporated on August 14, 2018 in PRC. Avalon Shanghai and an unrelated company, Jiangsu Unicorn Biological Technology Co., Ltd. (“Unicorn”), have an ownership interest in Epicon of 40% and 60%, respectively. Epicon is focused on cell preparation, third party testing, biological sample repository for commercial and scientific research purposes and clinical transformation of scientific achievements. The Company is not involved in the management of Epicon. Therefore, it is a passive investment.
In June 2023, the Company assessed its equity method investment in Epicon for any impairment and concluded that there were indicators of impairment as of June 30, 2023. The impairment is due to the Company’s conclusion that it will be unable to recover the carrying amount of the following:

Forinvestment due to the investee’s series of operating losses and the inability of Avalon Shanghai’s joint venture partner (Unicorn) to obtain adequate funding to commence operations. The Company calculated that the estimated undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying amount related to the equity method investment. The Company has recognized an impairment loss of $464,406 related to the equity method investment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, depreciation expense2023, which reduced the investment value to zero.
Under the equity method, if there is a commitment for the Company to fund the losses of its equity method investees, the Company would continue to record its share of losses resulting in a negative equity method investment, which would be presented as a liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Commitments may be explicit and may include formal guarantees, legal obligations, or arrangements by contract. Implicit commitments may arise from reputational expectations, intercompany relationships, statements by the Company of its intention to provide support, a history of providing financial support or other facts and circumstances. When the Company has no commitment to fund the losses of its equity method investees, the carrying value of its equity method investments will not be reduced below zero. The Company had no commitment to fund additional losses of its equity method investments during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended MIPA, the Buyer acquired from the Seller, forty percent (40%) of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Lab Services MSO (the “Purchased Interests”). The consideration paid by Buyer to Seller for the Purchased Interests consisted of $21,000,000, which was comprised of (i) $9,000,000 in cash, (ii) $11,000,000 pursuant to the issuance of 11,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), stated value $1,000 (the “Series B Stated Value”), and (iii) a $1,000,000 cash payment on February 9, 2024. The Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share equal to $3.78 or an aggregate of 2,910,053 shares of the Company’s common stock, which are subject to a lock-up period and restrictions on sale (See Note 10 — Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Issued for Equity Method Investment). The Seller is also eligible, under the terms set forth in the Amended MIPA, to receive certain earnout payments upon achievement of certain operating results, up to $10,000,000, which may be comprised of(x) up to $5,000,000 paid in cash and (y) up to $5,000,000 paid pursuant to the issuance of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $5,000,000, calculated using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2023, rounded down to the nearest whole share (collectively, the “Earnout Payments”). At both February 9, 2023 and September 30, 2023, the estimated earnout liability amounted to $4,256$0 since the minimum thresholds set forth in the Amended MIPA are currently unlikely to be met. The estimated earnout is a level 3 valuation which will be measured at the end of the applicable reporting period.
Lab Services MSO, through its two subsidiaries, Lab Services LLC and $5,469,Lab Services DME, is engaged in providing laboratory testing services.

As of September 30, 2023, the equity method investment in Lab Services MSO amounted to $21,370,060.
In accordance with ASC 810, the Company determined that Lab Services MSO does not qualify as a Variable Interest Entity, nor does it have a controlling financial interest over the legal entity. However, the Company determined that it does have significant influence as a result of its board representation. Therefore, the Company treats the equity investment in the condensed consolidated financial statements under the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost, adjusted for any excess of the Company’s share of the purchased-date fair values of the investee’s identifiable net assets over the cost of the investment (if any). At February 9, 2023 (date of investment), the excess of the Company’s share of the fair values of the investee’s identifiable net assets over the cost of the investment was approximately $19,901,000 which was attributable to intangible assets and goodwill. Thereafter, the investment is adjusted for the post purchase change in the Company’s share of the investee’s net assets and any impairment loss relating to the investment.

The Company and its subsidiaries have also entered into a security agreement, creating a security interest in certain property of the Company and its subsidiaries to secure the prompt payment, performance and discharge in full of all of the Company’s obligations under the May 2023 Convertible Note. Principal amount and interest under the May 2023 Convertible Note are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $4.50 per share unless the Company fails to make an amortization payment when due, in which case the conversion price shall be the lower of $4.50 or the trading price of the shares, subject to a floor of $1.50.
Mast Hill acquired the May 2023 Convertible Note with principal amount of $1,500,000 and paid the purchase price of $1,425,000 after an original issue discount of $75,000. On May 23, 2023, the Company issued (i) a warrant to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $4.50 exercisable until the five-year anniversary of May 23, 2023, (ii) a warrant to purchase 105,500 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.20 exercisable until the five-year anniversary of May 23, 2023, which warrant shall be cancelled and extinguished against payment of the May 2023 Convertible Note, and (iii) 75,000 shares of common stock as a commitment fee for the purchase of the May 2023 Convertible Note, which were earned in full as of May 23, 2023.

Based upon the Company’s analysis of the criteria contained in ASC 815, the Company determined that all the warrants issued to Mast Hill and a third party as a finder’s fee met the definition of a derivative liability, as the Company cannot avoid a net cash settlement under certain circumstances. Management determined the probability of failing to make an amortization payment when due to be remote and as such the fair value of the 105,500 warrants with an exercise price of $3.20 exercisable until the five-year anniversary of May 23, 2023, which warrant shall be cancelled and extinguished against payment of the May 2023 Convertible Note, has been estimated to be zero. Accordingly, the fair value of the 135,000 warrants with an exercise price of $4.50 exercisable until the five-year anniversary of May 23, 2023 was classified as derivative liability on May 23, 2023. The fair values of the 135,000 warrants with an exercise price of $4.50 exercisable until the five-year anniversary of May 23, 2023 issued on May 23, 2023 were computed using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: stock price of $1.96, volatility of 88.80%, risk-free rate of 3.76%, annual dividend yield of 0% and expected life of 5 years.
In accordance with ASC 470-20-25-2, proceeds from the sale of a debt instrument with stock purchase warrants are allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at time of issuance. The portion of the proceeds allocated to the warrants are accounted for as derivative liability. The remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the debt instrument portion of the transaction.
In accordance with ASC 480-10-25-14, the Company determined that the conversion provisions contain an embedded derivative feature and the Company valued the derivative feature separately, recording debt discount and derivative liability in accordance with the provisions of the convertible debt (see Note 7). However, management determined the probability of failing to make an amortization payment when due to be remote and as such the fair value of the embedded conversion feature has been estimated to be zero.
The Company recorded a total debt discount of $349,654 related to the original issue discount, common shares issued and warrants issued to Mast Hill, which will be amortized over the term of the May 2023 Convertible Note.

Overview
Avalon GloboCareThe Company is dedicated to integratingdeveloping and managing global healthcare servicesdelivering innovative, transformative, precision diagnostics and resources, as well as empowering high-impact biomedical innovationsclinical laboratory services. Our main strategy is to acquire ownership or license rights in precision diagnostic assets, genetic testing and technologies to accelerate their clinical applications. Operatinglaboratory companies through two major platforms, namely “Avalon Cell”, and “Avalon Rehab”, our “Technology + Service” ecosystem covers the areas of regenerative medicine, cell-based immunotherapy, exosome technology, telemedicine with medical second opinion/referral services, as well as fertility and rehabilitation medicine.joint ventures, share ownership structures or distribution rights. We plan to integrate these services throughplay a leading role in the innovation of diagnostic testing, utilizing proprietary technology to deliver precise, genetics-driven results. As a first major step into the laboratory market, we completed an acquisition of a 40% membership interest in Laboratory Services MSO, LLC (“Lab Services MSO”), which closed in February 2023.
We have the following areas of focus:
Laboratory Acquisitions
We have embarked on a laboratory rollup strategy focused on forming joint ventures and acquiring laboratories that are accretive acquisitions that bring shareholder value bothto our commercial strategy. As a first step, in February of 2023, we acquired a 40% membership interest in Lab Services MSO.
● | Lab Services MSO is focused on delivering high quality services related to toxicology and wellness testing and provides a broad portfolio of diagnostic tests, including drug testing, toxicology, and a broad array of test services, from general bloodwork to anatomic pathology, and urine toxicology. Specific capabilities include STAT blood testing, qualitative drug screening, genetic testing, urinary testing, and sexually transmitted disease testing. The panels that Lab Services MSO tests for are thyroid panel, comprehensive metabolic panel, kidney profile, liver function tests, and other individual tests. Through Lab Services MSO, we use fast, accurate, and efficient equipment to provide practitioners with the tools to quickly determine if a patient is following their designated treatment plan. In most instances, we are able to provide a practitioner with qualitative drug class results the same day the sample is received. Lab Services MSO provides a menu of extensive chemistry tests that physicians can use to obtain information to better treat their patients and maintain their overall wellness. Lab Services MSO has developed a premier reputation for customer service and fast turnaround times. |
● | Lab Services MSO is also focused on commercialization of genetic-based proprietary testing. The first area of focus in this area is confirmatory genetic testing during toxicology screening and genetic testing to screen for addictive propensity. Lab Services MSO laboratory plans to focus on diagnostic testing utilizing proprietary technology to deliver precise genetic driven results. |
● | In the third quarter of 2023, Lab Services MSO acquired Merlin Technologies, Inc. which is a medical equipment retail company. |
● | Lab Services MSO plans to open a new laboratory, Veritas Laboratories LLC (“Veritas”). Veritas is a CLIA-certified and COLA-accredited laboratory located in Scottsdale, Arizona that offers a wide range of high-quality testing, including drug testing, genetic testing, urinary testing and COVID-19 PCR testing. |
Product Commercialization
We are exploring the commercialization and development of a versatile breathalyzer system.
● | The KetoAir breathalyzer is a handheld device that allows the user to detect acetone levels in exhaled breath. The acetone level is in concentration units (ppm, part-per-million) such that the user will know his/her real-time ketosis status: inadequate ketosis (0-3.99 ppm), mild ketosis (4-9.99 ppm), optimal ketosis (10-40 ppm), or alarming level (> 40 ppm). The breathalyzer is registered with the United States FDA as a Class I medical device. The device is also paired with an “AI Nutritionist” software program (via Bluetooth connection) which is downloadable from Google Play (for Android mobile phones, approved) and iPhone (the app is currently being reviewed by Apple iOS AppStore). It helps users monitor and manage their ketogenic diet and related programs. We believe the KetoAir breathalyzer can be an essential tool to help diabetic patients adhere to their therapeutic programs and optimize their ketogenic dietary management. |
● | We were granted exclusive distributorship rights for the KetoAir breathalyzer in the following territories: North America, South America, the EU and the UK. We had a pilot launch and exhibition of the KetoAir breathalyzer in this year’s KetoCon conference in Austin, Texas (April 21-23, 2023). For our commercialization strategy, we intend to target the diabetes and obesity markets. We are evaluating options for commercialization, including identifying distribution partners or distributing KetoAir ourselves. |
Research and Development
● | We are focused on bringing forward intellectual property through joint patent filings with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). We completed a sponsored research and co-development project with MIT led by Professor Shuguang Zhang as Principal Investigator. Using the unique QTY code protein design platform, six water-soluble variant cytokine receptors have been successfully designed and tested to show binding affinity to the respective cytokines. We currently are focused on bringing forward the intellectual property associated with this program through joint patent submissions. |
Other Areas
In order to preserve cash and focus on our core laboratory rollup strategy and product commercialization, we have currently suspended all research and development efforts related to cellular therapy in order to redirect our funding efforts to our core business strategies outlined above.
Going Concern
The Company is a commercial stage company dedicated to developing and delivering innovative, transformative, precision diagnostics and clinical laboratory services. The Company is establishing a leading role in the short term,innovation of diagnostic testing, utilizing proprietary technology to deliver precise, genetics-driven results. The Company also provides laboratory services, offering a broad portfolio of diagnostic tests including drug testing, toxicology, and a broad array of test services, from general bloodwork to anatomic pathology, and urine toxicology.
In addition, the Company owns commercial real estate that houses its headquarters in Freehold, New Jersey. The Company also has income from equity method investment through operational entitiesits forty percent (40%) interest in Lab Services MSO. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as part of Avalon Rehab, and long term, through biomedical innovation development as part of Avalon Cell.
We currently produce revenue through related party strategic relationships in the Peoples Republic of China (“China”) that provide consultative services in advanced areas of immunotherapy and second opinion/referral services. Our services include research studies; executive education; daily online executive briefings; tailored expert advisory services; and consulting and management services. We typically charge an annual fee. Through our services we attempt to focus our clients on important problems by providing an analysis of the evolving healthcare industry and the methods prevalent in the industry to solve those problems through counsel, business planning and support.
We also own and operate rental real property in New Jersey.

Critical Accounting Policies and
Use of Estimates
Our discussion and analysisThe preparation of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unauditedthe condensed consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordanceconformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparationStates of these unaudited consolidated financial statementsAmerica (“U.S. GAAP”) requires usmanagement to make estimates and judgmentsassumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate ourliabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Changes in these estimates includingand assumptions may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those related toestimates.
Significant estimates during the allowance for doubtful accounts,three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 include the useful life of property plant, equipment and investment in real estate, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets, valuation of deferred tax assets accruals for taxes due, and the associated valuation allowances, the valuation of options.stock-based compensation, the assumptions used to determine fair value of warrants and embedded conversion features of convertible note payable, and the fair value of the consideration given and assets acquired in the purchase of 40% of Lab Services MSO.
We base our estimates on historical experienceInvestment in Unconsolidated Companies
The Company uses the equity method of accounting for its investments in, and earning or loss of, companies that it does not control but over which it does exert significant influence. The Company considers whether the fair values of its equity method investments have declined below their carrying values whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that recorded values may not be recoverable. If the Company considers any decline to be other than temporary (based on various factors, including historical financial results and the overall health of the investee), then a write-down would be recorded to estimated fair value. Impairment of equity method investment amounted to $464,406 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. See Note 5 for discussion of equity method investments.
Real Property Rental
The Company has determined that the ASC 606 does not apply to rental contracts, which are within the scope of other assumptions that we believed to be reasonablerevenue recognition accounting standards.
Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis under the circumstances, the resultsguidance of which form theASC 842. Lease payments under tenant leases are recognized on a straight-line basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
We provide medical related consulting services to our clients. We are paid for our services by our clients pursuant to the terms of the written consulting agreements. Each contract calls for a fixed payment in a fixed period of time. We recognize revenue by providing medical related consulting services under written service contracts with our customers. Revenue related to our service offerings is recognized as the services are performed and amounts are earned, using the straight-line method over the term of the related services agreement. Prepayments, if any, received from customers prior toleases. The cumulative difference between lease revenue recognized under the services being performedstraight-line method and contractual lease payments are recorded as advance from customers. In these cases, when the services are performed, the amount recorded as advance from customers is recognized as revenue.
We lease commercial property under operating leases with terms of generally two years or more. We recognize rental revenue from our commercial leases on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease including rent holidays, if any. Straight-lineincluded in rent receivable consists ofon the difference between the tenants’ rents calculated on a straight-line basis from the date of lease commencement over the remaining terms of the related leases and the tenants’ actual rents due under the lease agreements and is included in tenants receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenues associated with operating expense recoveries are recognized in the period in which the expenses are incurred.
The Company does not offer promotional payments, customer coupons, rebates or other cash redemption offers to its customers.
Income Taxes
We are governed by the income tax laws of the PRCChina and the United States. Income taxes are accounted for pursuant to ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. The charge for taxes is based on the results for the period as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is changed to equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and we intend to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.basis.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic ofRecent Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements
For details of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is requiredapplicable new accounting standards, please, refer to perform the services in exchange for the award. TheRecent Accounting Standards Codification also requires measurementin Note 3 of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the period of services or the vesting period, whichever is applicable. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which modified lease accounting for both lessees and lessors to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous accounting standards and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 using a modified retrospective adoption method. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new lease standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU addresses the classification of certain specific cash flow issues including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of certain debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of certain insurance claims and distributions received from equity method investees. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. We are currently evaluating the impact it may have on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting. The guidance clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. Entities will apply the modification accounting guidance if the value, vesting conditions or classification of the award changes. This guidance is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact it may have on our consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on ourcondensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption. We do not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.accompanying this report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has a limited operating history and its continued growth is dependent upon the continuation of generating rental revenue from its income-producing real estate property in New Jersey and income from equity method investment through its forty percent (40%) interest in Lab Services MSO and obtaining additional financing to fund future obligations and pay liabilities arising from normal business operations. In addition, the current cash balance cannot be projected to cover the operating expenses for the next twelve months from the release date of this report. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, implement its business plan, and generate significant revenues. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in its efforts to generate significant revenues, maintain sufficient cash balance or report profitable operations or to continue as a going concern. As described below, the Company has raised additional capital through the sale of equity and debt and the Company plans on raising additional capital in the future through the sale of equity or debt to implement its business plan. However, there is no assurance these plans will be realized and that any additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if any.

We estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, that our available cash will be insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our present operating expectations.expectations through cash flow provided by operations, and cash available under our ATM and lending facilities and sales of equity. Other than funds received from the sale of our equityas described above and advancescash resource generating from our related parties,operations, we presently have no other significant alternative source of working capital. We have used these funds to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations and grow our company. We will need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operations and to provide working capital for our ongoing operations and obligations. Therefore, our future operation is dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital may restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will be required to cease our operations. To date, we have not considered this alternative, nor do we view it as a likely occurrence.

DOING Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd.
DOING Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd. (“DOING”) and Avalon discussed DOING potentially investing in Avalon.

In lieu of acquiring shares directly from Avalon, DOING agreed to fund the purchase of shares of common stock of Avalon on behalf of an accredited investor (the “March 2017 Accredited Investor”), which is permitted under Chinese law.
Accordingly, we entered into and closed a Subscription Agreement with the March 2017 Accredited Investor pursuant to which the March 2017 Accredited Investor purchased 3,000,000 shares of common stock (“March 2017 Shares”) for a purchase price of $3,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”).

The BCC is responsible for guiding foreign investment, trade and technology transfer in China. DOING is required to obtain an Enterprise Overseas Investment Certificate (the “Investment Certificate”) from BCC in order to acquire the March 2017 Shares.
If DOING fails to complete the registration and acquire the Investment Certificate within one year of the closing then Avalon Shanghai shall transfer $3,000,000 with interest of 20% to DOING upon the request of DOING (the “BCC Repayment Obligation”). As of the date hereof, the Company is obligated to DOING in the principal amount of $3,000,000. The BCC Repayment Obligation is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of our company.
