Executive Summary

Q1 2023 revenue rose 80% year over year to $0.75M, driven by growth in direct products, pharmacies and hotel, and the first-quarter contribution from the Manufacture & Sale segment (Runcangsheng) . Net loss improved to $0.53M from $0.75M a year ago; operating loss margin narrowed to 73% from 184% YoY .
Liquidity remains the key risk: cash and equivalents were $0.50M (plus $0.09M restricted), working capital deficit was $3.37M, and management flagged “substantial doubt” about going concern, outlining a plan to cut costs, sell higher-margin products, and raise related-party loans/equity .
Vertical-integration progress: Runcangsheng manufacturing helped lower product COGS percentages and supported segment expansion, but the business still generated losses in the quarter while scaling .
No formal guidance or earnings call transcript was provided; China’s removal of COVID restrictions in January 2023 is a potential demand tailwind for in-person channels and the hotel .
Potential stock catalysts: evidence of sustained revenue traction post–COVID reopening, visible margin lift from manufacturing integration, and concrete steps to address liquidity (e.g., financings or working-capital relief) .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well
- Revenue growth and mix: Total revenue +80% YoY to $754,713; growth came from direct product sales, pharmacies, hotel, and initial Manufacture & Sale contribution (Runcangsheng) .
- Margin drivers emerging: Product and pharmacy COGS percentages improved YoY (direct products 21% vs 29%; pharmacies 62% vs 75%) helped by in-house manufacturing scale-up, even as total operating costs remained high .
- Strategic integration progressing: Management cited vertical integration via Runcangsheng to develop/produce targeted health foods and leverage omni-channel distribution (pharmacies, events, e-commerce) .
What Went Wrong
- Sustained operating losses: Loss from operations of $551,970 (73% of revenue), though improved YoY vs. Q1 2022; all four operating segments still posted operating losses in Q1 2023 .
- Liquidity/going concern risk: Cash of $496,918 (excl. $85,516 restricted) and a $3.37M working-capital deficit; management disclosed substantial doubt about going concern and reliance on related-party funding/equity to bridge .
- Internal controls remain weak: Disclosure controls deemed not effective due to limited resources and material weaknesses in ICFR .

Management Commentary

Going concern and liquidity plan: “These facts and conditions have raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern… The plan includes: gaining positive cash-inflow… through continuous cost reductions and the sales of higher margin products… raising additional cash through loans from related parties and potential equity offerings.”
Demand environment: “Since January 2023, China has dropped all COVID restrictions.”
Q1 drivers: “The increase in revenue was mainly due to increases in direct sales of our nutritional products, increases in revenues from our hotel and pharmacies, and the generation of revenue from the manufacture and sale of products by Runcangsheng.”
Margin effect from integration: “We were able to lower our cost of goods sold significantly due [to] the manufacturing business we acquired… which enabled us to sell products we manufactured ourselves to save the costs and increase our profit margin.”

Key Takeaways for Investors

Revenue recovery is real but from a small base; YoY growth (+80%) reflects post-COVID normalization and added segment breadth (pharmacies, hotel, manufacturing), with visible COGS ratio improvements in products/pharmacies .
Liquidity is the gating factor: $0.50M cash, $3.37M working-capital deficit, negative operating cash flow; execution of the stated funding plan is critical to sustain operations and inventory build .
Vertical integration is a medium-term margin lever; early signs are positive on product COGS, but manufacturing scale-up must translate to segment profitability .
Operating leverage to reopening remains underappreciated; with all COVID restrictions lifted in Jan-2023, in-person events and hotel could further support top line, conditional on consumer activity .
Watch related-party balances and equity actions as near-term funding signals; the company has historically relied on shareholder advances and may issue equity (dilution risk) .
Internal control remediation remains a backdrop task; disclosure controls are not effective, adding execution risk to scaling and financing processes .
Near-term trading implications: stock likely to react to any concrete financing, improved cash conversion, and sequential revenue traction; medium-term thesis hinges on proving Runcangsheng-driven margin lift and pharmacy/hotel breakeven while normalizing post-COVID demand .
