The VIE Agreements Etao International healthcare , has entered into the following contractual arrangements with VIEs and their shareholders, that enable the Company to (i) have power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the performance of these VIEs and their subsidiaries, and (ii) receive the benefits of VIEs and their subsidiaries that could be significant to VIEs and its subsidiaries. VIEs are fully and exclusively responsible for the management of VIEs and its subsidiaries, absorbs all risk of losses of VIEs and their subsidiaries and has the exclusive right to exercise all voting rights of VIEs’ shareholders. Therefore, Etao is considered as the ultimate primary beneficiary of these VIEs and their subsidiaries and has consolidated these VIEs and their subsidiaries’ assets, liabilities, results of operations, and cash flows in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement Etao International Healthcare Technology Co., Ltd. (“the WOFE”) entered into an Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement with 11 VIEs , pursuant to which the WOFE has the exclusive right to provide the 11 VIEs with technical services, management consulting and operation support in return for certain fees typically calculated to shift, from 51% to 100% of, VIEs’ operating profits to the WOFE, and the operating profits shall consist of the VIEs’ total consolidated profit, after deduction of any accumulated deficit in the preceding financial year(s), working capital, expenses, taxes and other statutory contributions. Without the WOFE’s prior written consent, VIEs may not accept any services subject to this agreement from any third party. The WOFE will have the exclusive ownership of all intellectual property rights created as a result of the performance of this agreement. This Agreement may be terminated (i) with the WOFE written consent, (ii) or when VIEs goes bankrupt or are liquidated in accordance with the applicable laws. Exclusive Option Agreement The Exclusive Option Agreement entered into by and among the WOFE and the VIEs. Pursuant to the Exclusive Option Agreement, Registered Shareholders irrevocably granted the WOFE or any third party designated by the WOFE an option to purchase all or part of their equity interests as agreed in Exclusive Business Co-operation Agreement (collectively, Granted Equity Interests) in VIEs and their subsidiaries at any time at a price determined at the WOFE’s discretion or in accordance with the applicable laws. Without the WOFE’s prior written consent, VIEs and their shareholders agreed not to, among other things: (i) amend the articles of association of the VIES; (ii) increase or decrease the registered capital of the VIEs; (iii) change VIEs’ business activities; (iv) alter VIEs’ capital structure; (v) sell, assign, mortgage or dispose of any legal or beneficial rights to or in any of VIEs’ assets, business, or revenue; (vi) incur, assume or guarantee any debts, except for debts incurred in the ordinary course of business; (vii) enter into any material contract, except for contracts entered in the ordinary course of business; (viii) merge or consolidate with any third party or acquire or invest in any third party.

This Agreement will continue with full force and effect until the date when the Granted Equity Interests held by Registered Shareholders have been transferred to the WOFE or any third party designated by the WOFE. Power of Attorney Each shareholder of VIEs, executed Power of Attorney to irrevocably authorize the WOFE or any person(s) designated by the WOFE to act as its attorney-in-fact to exercise all of its rights as a shareholder of the VIEs, including, but not limited to, the right to receive all notices regarding the shareholders’ meetings, vote, make decisions and sign relevant documents as a shareholder. This agreement is effective and irrevocable until all of each shareholder’s equity interest in the VIEs has been transferred to these VIEs or the person(s) designated by the WOFE. Equity Pledge Agreement Under the Equity Interest Pledge Agreement signed by and among the WOFE and each shareholder of the VIEs, the shareholders of these VIEs have agreed to pledge equity interest in the VIEs as defined in the to the WOFE to guarantee the performance obligations of the VIEs under the Spousal Consent Letter The spouses of each shareholder of the VIEs have each signed Spousal Consent Letters. Risks in relation to the VIE structure The Company believes that the contractual arrangements with its VIE and their respective shareholders are in compliance with PRC laws and regulations and are legally enforceable. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company’s ability to enforce the contractual arrangements. If the legal structure and contractual arrangements were found to be in violation of PRC laws and regulations, the PRC government could, among others: ● revoke business and operating licenses of Etao’s PRC subsidiary and VIE; ● levy fines on Etao’s PRC subsidiary and VIE; ● shut down services of Etao’s PRC subsidiary and VIE; ● discontinue or restrict Etao’s PRC subsidiary and VIE’s operations in China; ● impose conditions or requirements with which Etao’s PRC subsidiary and VIE may not be able to comply; ● require Etao or Etao’s PRC subsidiary and VIE to restructure the relevant ownership structure or operations; ● restrict or prohibit Etao’s use of the proceeds of the additional public offering to finance Etao’s business and operations in China; and ● take other regulatory or enforcement actions that could be harmful to Etao’s or Etao’s PRC subsidiary and VIE’s business. Etao’s ability to conduct its business may be negatively affected if the PRC government were to carry out of any of the aforementioned actions. As a result, Etao may not be able to consolidate its VIE in its consolidated financial statements as it may lose the ability to exert effective control over the VIE and their respective shareholders and it may lose the ability to receive economic benefits from the VIE. Etao, however, does not believe such actions would result in the liquidation or dissolution of Etao, its PRC subsidiaries and VIE. The interests of the shareholders of VIE may diverge from that of Etao and that may potentially increase the risk that they would seek to act contrary to the contractual terms, for example by influencing VIE not to pay the service fees when required to do so. Etao cannot assure that when conflicts of interest arise, shareholders of VIE will act in the best interests of Etao or that conflicts of interests will be resolved in Etao’s favor. Etao believes the shareholders of VIE will not act contrary to any of the contractual arrangements and the exclusive option agreements provide Etao with a mechanism to remove the current shareholders of VIE should they act to the detriment of Etao. Etao relies on certain current shareholders of VIE to fulfill their fiduciary duties and abide by laws of the PRC and act in the best interest of Etao. If Etao cannot resolve any conflicts of interest or disputes between Etao and the shareholders of VIE, Etao would have to rely on legal proceedings, which could result in disruption of its business, and there is substantial uncertainty as to the outcome of any such legal proceedings.

in conformity with U.S. GAAP which contemplates continuation of the Company on a going concern basis. The going concern basis assumes that assets are realized, and liabilities are settled in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed in the financial statements. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had a net working capital deficit of $7,625,158, accumulated deficit of $907,539,304, and net loss of $896,677,759. The factors give rise to substantial doubt to the Company’s ability to continue as going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to market and sell its products and services and sustainable profit margins and to generate positive operating cash flows. Management’s plan is to continue improve operations by leveraging its distribution channels from its diverse subsidiaries across the entire healthcare ecosystem in order to generate sustainable profits and positive cash flows. The Company merged with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) and plan to raise additional capital through the private and public markets by using the SPAC as a financial platform. Management believes that the valuation and liquidity brought by a merger will allow for the Company to re-organize its debt and raise additional capital to expand operations to generate re-occurring sustainable profits and positive working capital. If the Company is not able to continue generating profits and positive operating cash flows, raise additional capital, or complete a merger with the SPAC, there is the risk that the Company may become insolvent. |
