Investment in Unconsolidated Company
Previous report
We use the equity method of accounting for our investment in, and earning or loss of, company that we do not control but over which we do exert significant influence. We apply the equity method by initially recording these investments at cost, as equity method investments, subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash distributions.
Previous report
We consider whether the fair value of our equity method investment has declined below its carrying value whenever adverse event or change in circumstance indicates that recorded value may not be recoverable. If we consider 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 $259,579 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Previous report
We classify distributions received from equity method investments using the cumulative earnings approach. Distributions received are considered returns on the investment and classified as cash inflows from operating activities. If, however, the investor’s cumulative distributions received, less distributions received in prior periods determined to be returns of investment, exceeds cumulative equity in earnings recognized, the excess is considered a return of investment and is classified as cash inflows from investing activities.

Accordingly, beginning in February 2025, we no longer offer laboratory services.

We have a limited operating history and our continued growth is dependent upon the continuation of generating rental revenue from our income-producing real estate property in New Jersey and income from equity method investment through our 40% interest in Lab Services MSO and obtaining additional financing to fund future obligations and pay liabilities arising from ordinary course business operations. In addition, the current cash balance cannot be projected to cover our operating expenses for the next twelve months from the release date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital, implement our business plan, and generate sufficient revenues. There are no assurances that we will be successful in our efforts to generate sufficient revenues, maintain sufficient cash balance or report profitable operations or to continue as a going concern. We plan on raising capital through the sale of equity to implement our business plan. However, there is no assurance these plans will be realized and that any additional financings will be available to us on satisfactory terms and conditions, or at all.

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company, AHS, Avalon RT 9, Avalon Lab, and Q&A Distribution is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of Avalon Shanghai is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of our subsidiary whose functional currency is the RMB are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rate of exchange for assets and liabilities, average rate of exchange for revenues, costs, and expenses and cash flows, and at historical exchange rate for equity. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the results of operations. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a non-cash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of $279 and a foreign currency translation loss of $2,920 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This non-cash gain/loss had the effect of decreasing/increasing our reported comprehensive loss in each respective period.

We have a limited operating history and our continued growth is dependent upon the continuation of generating rental revenue from our income-producing real estate property in New Jersey and income from equity method investment through our equity interest in Lab Services MSO, as well as obtaining additional financing to fund future obligations and pay liabilities arising from ordinary course business operations. In addition, the current cash balance cannot be projected to cover our operating expenses for the next twelve months from the release date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital, implement our business plan, and generate sufficient revenues. There are no assurances that we will be successful in our efforts to generate sufficient revenues, maintain sufficient cash balance or report profitable operations or to continue as a going concern. As described below, we have raised additional capital through the sale of equity and debt and we plan to raise additional capital in the future through the sale of equity or debt to implement our business plan. However, there is no assurance these plans will be realized and that any additional financings will be available to us on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all.

We estimate that, based on current plans and assumptions, our available cash will be insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our present operating expectations through cash flow provided by operations, and cash available under the Line of Credit and sales of equity. Other than funds received as described above and cash resources generated from our 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.

We ceased all operations in China in 2022, with the exception of a small administrative office. We did not during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and do not expect in the foreseeable future, to generate any additional revenue from PRC operations. Thus, exchange rate fluctuations between the RMB and the U.S. dollar do not have a material effect on us. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we had an unrealized foreign currency translation gain of approximately $3,000 and an unrealized foreign currency translation loss of approximately $9,000, respectively, because of changes in the exchange rate.
