Primary Products
Our primary products include Absorbable PAPolymer Osteosynthesis Devices made of a proprietary material compositing of polyamide material.6 (PA6), hydroxyapatite (HA) and poly(methyl methacrylate-co-N-vinylpyrrolidone) (P(MMA-co-NVP)). These advanced materials are used in surgical screws, binding wires, rods and related medical devices for the treatment of orthopedic trauma, sports-related medical treatment, cartilage repair, and related treatments, and reconstructive dental procedures. Our devices are Self-Reinforced, Bio-absorbable, Brady-degradablepolymer orthopaedic internal fixation devices. Our PA Screws have completed clinical trials and are pendingscrews received approval byfrom the China Food and Drug Administration of China (“CFDA”); in April 2018; and our PA Binding Wires are under clinical trials; and our PA Mini-Screws are under animal test.
Product Characteristics:
The theory of Brady-degradable PA absorbableCompany’s new and unique material is based on water dissolution, that is, the material is broken down by body fluids in a predictablehas ideal mechanical properties with similar strength, toughness, tensile strength and carefully engineered fashion. As a bone fracture heals, the supporting implant is designed to degrade from the outerflexibility etc. to the inner layers, inducing newhuman bone. Its elasticity, toughness and high fatigue resistance can effectively stabilize fractures without causing stress shielding. Its strong biocompatibility includes: no inflammation, no pyrogen, no cytotoxicity, no subchronic systemic toxicity etc. Additionally, the biomaterials promotes the synthesis of matrix mature protein (ALP, collagen I, osteopontin, osteocalcin) gene expressions, via local transcription factors of osterix, Runx2 mRNA for a long time. Facilitating the continuous synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins required for cell mineralization, and bone generation in the gap lefttissue regeneration from an effective bio-interface integration.
The bone screw products produced by the degrading material. Eventually, new bone is formedmaterials have been proved to occupy all ofbe safe and reliable after clinical trials and long-term follow-ups spanning 10 years. Unlike metallic screws, they can be implanted for a long time without the space left by the degraded implant.need for a secondary removal surgery. Our biomedical composite material exhibit three key technological innovations:
Brady-degradable PA absorbable materials consist of enhanced fiber and high molecular polymers. It has high tensile, bending, and shear strengths, and is particularly suitable for patients with severe conditions, high tensile, bending, and shear strengths, and is particularly suitable for patients with severe conditions, such as fractures with light osteoporosis, severe soft tissue injury or bad blood supply, and so forth. This innovative material provides several benefits:
1. Reduces costs on all patient medical care,
2. Helps avoid the necessity for secondary surgery,
3. Enhances the performance of components constructed from these materials,
4. Improves the biological activity of components employing these materials,
5. Effectively controls the degeneration speed of the temporary support component.
| 1. | A notably reduced need for a secondary surgery to remove implant due to post-operative complications, therefore avoiding unnecessary risk and expense on all patient care; | |
| 2. | Enhancing the performance of the materials by manufacturing them to be easily fitted to each patient, forming an exact fit; | |
| 3. | Improving the biological activity of materials. Clinical trial results have shown that PA implants promote a progressive shift of load to the new bone creating micro-motion and thereby avoiding bone atrophy due to ‘stress shielding’; | |
| 4. | Reducing the chance of post-operative infection; | |
| 5. | Stimulate bone tissues to facilitate effective biological integration, benefitting the regeneration of bone; | |
| 6. | Ease of post-operative care i.e. no distortion during x-ray imaging; | |
| 7. | Simple and cost-effective to manufacture. |
The Company has developed six proprietary re-absorbable polymer fixation implant product lines, including screws, pins, tacks, rods and binding wires, which provide an alternative to metal implants and overcome the limitations of first generation re-absorbable fixation devices. The Company’s product range will ultimately cover the full gamut of components featuring self-reinforced, re-absorbable, biodegradable PA macromolecule polymer materials for implantation, including human orthopedic and dental applications, as well as veterinary applications.
Industry Development
The fracture fixation industry has developed through three generations of materials science:
The first generation internal-fracture fixation material:
The first generation internal-fracture-fixer components are usually made of stainless steel, titanium and alloy. Due to their high intensity, low costs and easy machining character, these components have achieved huge success in fracture treatment and remain the most widely used internal-fracture-fixer material. However, their prominent flaws are the huge difference between metal’s elasticity co-efficient, easily causing second-time bone fracture. The metallic ion can also cause tissue inflammation, and the need of a secondary surgery to have them taken out. These flaws stimulated the development of the degradable macromolecule material.
The second generation fracture fixation material:
The second generation bone-fracture-fixed components are made of degradable macromolecule material, such as PLLA, PGA and PDS, etc. The disadvantage of these components is rapid self-degeneration in early stages after the initial implant. For example, the strength of SR-PLLA decreases to 10-20Mpa after 4 weeks of implantation. Therefore, the second generation bone-fracture-fixed components can be only used to treat substantial spongiosa bone fractures.
The third generation fracture fixation material:
The third generation fracture fixation material, biodegradable fracture fixation components are currently under research by developed countries. There are many technical challenges to research in the third generation fracture fixation material field; for example, the materials must have a high degree of bio-compatibility and mechanical compatibility. They also must be of high biological activity, self-absorbable, and degeneration controllable.
Product Development
After careful deliberation, we selected the biodegradablepolymer screw as our first product to market. In order to replace the widely-used metal components, the new materials must meet multiple bio-consistency and mechanical-consistency requirements. Furthermore, they must also exhibit specific properties with respect to bio-activities, degradability, and controllable degradation speed. Although many macromolecule materials are degradable inside human body, relatively few provide the physical characters required for fracture fixation.
Development began with selection of macromolecule materials that exhibited the desired physical characters, leading, ultimately, to our selection of polyamide. In order to achieve the desired mechanical performance and degrading speed, various chemical and physical techniques were employed to modify the bio-degradable polyamide so as to synthesize the required new bio-degradable material. This phase of our research also entailed the selection of monomer class, polymerization conditions, the mensuration of polymer molecular weight, hydrophile capability, crystal capability, the mensuration and controlled degrading speed of the polymer, the mensuration and control of the mechanical performance of the polymer, and numerous other critical considerations.
Our next challenge was to identify a suitable bio-active inorganic material, and to optimize the compound and associated production conditions. It was critical that we could predict and control the bio-activities of the implanted fixture material, and to this end we used high grade and mature phosphate type bio-active materials, taking into account the preparation characteristics of the compound material, and the surface character requirements of the finished products. We also improved current technical parameters by modifying the surface character, thereby achieving critical control over the desired grain size and surface activities.
The third technological hurdle involved the actual preparation and utilization of the engineered compound in conjunction with a bio-active material. Hydronium bombardment of the surface, with spread and cover techniques, was employed during this critical step in the process. This had the effect of creating a well-knit bio-active membrane on the degradable polymer’s surface, and embedding a bio-active core inside the degradable polymer stick, so as to form the bio-active degradable compound material.
The final step entailed strengthening and shaping the processed compound by using directional extrusion and molding. Degradable acantha inoculators, fixation screws, orthopedics stuffing, enlace strings, and anti-conglutination membrane can all be manufactured, as needed, using this same technique.
Our company has studied and researched Polyamide, changing its chemical and physical properties to meet the above requirements. As a result of our research we have:
| 1. | Increased mechanical strength to 170Mpa. |
| 2. | Increased biological activities to accelerate bone cell substitution. |
| 3. | Extended the degeneration period during the implant. While the PA is degenerating layer by layer, the bone cells grow and take its place. |
Product Analysis
Our Company is researching and currently developing the capability of manufacturing several different kinds of human implant products including Artificial Lumbar Disc, Mini-Screws, Suture Anchors, reconstructive dental devices and other PA products. Currently the company has two production lines certified by the GMP regulations.
Our Company is constantly analyzing the market needs to develop suitable products. One of the company’s products is currently pending CFDA approval, two products are under clinical testsmanufactured in a 100,000 level GMP factory with stringent quality management system, workshop alongside a 10,000-level bacteria purification zone. The R&D, production and one product will start clinical tests.quality management capabilities satisfies the requirements of implantable medical device production management specifications, ISO9001 and ISO13485. Over the years, Shenzhen Changhua has developed a series of orthopedic internal fixation products such as bone screws, rib nails, tying lines and bone plates using a newly synthsized material, PPH (PA6-P(MMA-co-NVP)-HA)
Overview of PA Devices and Market in the US, China and Worldwide
FracturesAccording to Transparency Market Research, the global orthopedic device market will reach US$41.2 billion by the end of 2019, owing to multiple factors that are amongenabling it to progress at a CAGR of 15% from 2019 to 2023.
The key drivers of the most common orthopaedic problems. Thereglobal orthopedic devices market are estimated 1.5 million fracture cases each yearthe 2 factors below:
| 1. | Rapidly aging population | |
| 2. | High demand for painless treatments |
Growth in the United States alone (Riggsgeriatric population is primarily pushing demand for orthopedic solutions globally. Effects of aging, such as diminishing bone density and Melton 1995),weakening bones due to excessive loss of bone mass, make their presence felt from 35 years of age and the average citizen in a developed country can expect to sustain two fractures over the course of their lifetime. Fractures occur at an annual rate of 2.4 per 100 population. Men arebecome more likely to experience fractures (2.8 per 100 population) than women (2.0 per 100). In 1998, over 10.7 million fractures were seen by physicians in office-based practice (this included visits for follow-up care).Of these, approximately 8.6 million visits for fracture care (79.6%) were made to orthopaedic surgeons. When a fracture was referred to another physician, approximately 90.6% were referred to orthopaedic surgeons.(Data Source: National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey & American Academy of Orthopaedic).prominent after 55 years. By 2050, 1 billion or more people would be above 60 years old.
Hip fracture rates areIn addition, the demand more pain-free treatments and increasing throughout urban Asia. A landmark study from Beijing 2002–2006 indicates the hip fracture incidence in those aged over 50 years to be 229/100,000 per year in women and 129/100,000 per year in men. This study found the rates of age-specific hip fractures in those aged over 50 years increased by 58% in women and by 49% in men. The same study also compared hip fractures that occurred from 2002-2006 with those that had occurred previously from 1990-1992, and it was found that the adjusted age-specific rates of hip fracture over age 50 years increased 2.76-fold in women and 1.61-fold in men. The increasing rate of hip fractures is serious since they are associated with increased mortality. In Mainland China, 1.8 million new osteoporotic vertebral fractures occurred in 2006. Since the number of people aged older than 60 years issport related injuries and road accidents are expected to approach 438 million by 2050, it can be projected thatfuel the number of Chinese in this age group with osteoporotic vertebral fractures could reach 36.7 million and 48.5 million in 2020 and 2050, respectively.(Data Source: International Osteoporosis Foundation).
Global market size of orthopaedic medical devices reached 43.1 billion U.S. dollars in 2012. It maintained a 3.1% annual composite growth rate during 2012 to 2015 and reached 47.2 billion U.S. dollars in 2015. China will remain the fastest growing market in the next 10-15 years due to aging population, economic development and improvement of national health services. China has already overtaken Japanneed for orthopedic devices. However, stringent regulatory approval procedures as well as the second largesthigh cost of surgical procedures and these devices are the main reasons restraining market for orthopaedic medical devices with an annual growth, rateand making it a high-barrier of 15%. Current largest market USA has an annual growth rate of less than 3% and it is expected that China will overtake USA as the largest market in the future.

China’s Market for PA Devices
With a population of over 1.3 billion, China is the world’s most densely populated country and makes up of one-fifth of the world’s population. China’s population is nearly five times more than United States even though both roughly cover the same geographic area. There are 32 Provinces, Autonomous Regions, and Municipalities of Mainland China.
China’s orthopedic implant device industry is in a state of rapid market growth. With the acceleration of population aging, the improvement of medical policies, and an increase in people’s treatment awareness, China’s orthopedic implant medical device sector continues to boom, with a huge potential orthopaedic market base and developmental space. According to Frost & Sullivan, the compound growth rate of the orthopedic industry from 2008 to 2012 was 18.2%. In 2017, the market size reached 3.23 billion USD and by 2020, the market for PA devices depends on 3 major conditions:
In the first 50 years of the 21st century, China will have a growing aging population, while the total populationimplantable orthopedic consumables in China will continually increase. New and improved medical technologies will be rapidly developed and utilized throughout hospitals in China, and material optimization and product pricing is expected to directly stimulate increased sales.reach 4 billion US dollars.
Competitive Analysis
To the best of our knowledge, our Company is the only patent holder of PA technologies in China, as well as the only company carrying out Clinical Trials on PA productsreceived CFDA approval in China. At this time there are no similar products in this market (bio-degradable internal fixation devices that degrade without acids or other non-naturally occurring substances).market. Moreover, due to the nature of the regulatory environment, and the requirements and logistics of mounting a clinical trial, it would take any new competitor a minimum of three years to catch up to our lead in this area alone. Factoring in our established relationships with key customers, distributors, and regulators, as well as our ready-to-run production facilities, and our actual advantage is considerable longer than the 3 year regulatory advantage. This represents an invaluable window in which to firmly entrench our company as the preferred purveyor of self-reinforced, absorbable biodegradable PA components in the Chinese health care environment.
To reiterate, our company and product line offer several critical competitive advantages, specifically:
| ● | There are no similar patent registrations in China. | |
| ● | Our initial product, the PA Screw approved by the CFDA in 2018, has completed 100% of the required clinical trials, with a 100% success | |
| ● | We are the only company qualified and permitted to conduct clinical trials of other PA products by China’s CFDA. | |
| ● | We have a timing advantage over other companies in China, which would have to go through the preclinical testing before they could even apply for a permit to conduct actual clinical trials. | |
| ● | Under existing regulation structure, it will take at least 3 years for any competitor’s clinical trials to be completed, and total of 7 or more years to reach the point where we are now. |
Specific Competition
Competition in the medical implant device industry is intense both in China and in global markets. In orthopedics, ABMT’s principal competitors are the numerous companies that sell metal implants. ABMT competes with the manufacturers and marketers of metal implants by emphasizing the ease of implantation of the Company’s Self-Reinforced, Bio-absorbable, Brady-degradablepolymer implants, the cost effectiveness of such products, and the elimination of risks associated with the necessity of performing removal surgeries frequently required with less modern products.
WithinOur Polymer (PA) Bone Screw is the resorbable implantfirst of its kind among all polymer-based implantations and has no competitors due to the sophisticated manufacturing technologies and technique needed for its production.
According to the record from CFDA and our estimates, it will take at least 5 years for another medical device provider with similar technology to appear in the market. This is because much time will need to be spent on developing material compatibility, safety and undergoing clinical trials in reaching proper standards.
In addition, the current market ABMT is competingmainly saturated with other manufacturers of resorbable internal fixation devices primarily on the basis of the physiological strength of ABMT’s polymersmetallic compound bone screws, and the length ofmedical industry has been using it predominantly since the strength retention time demonstrated1900s. Not only is our invented material biologically stable and easily accepted by ABMT’s formulations. In order to replace the widely-used metal components, the new materials must meet numerous bioconsistency and mechanical-consistency requirements. Furthermore, they must also exhibit specific properties with respect to bio-activities, degradability, and controllable degradation speed. Although many macromolecule materials are degradable inside human body, relatively few provide the physical characters required for fracture fixation.it is also very versatile and therefore has a great market potential.
Our primary competition will be the generation-one and generation-two counterparts, which, despite their functional inferiority, enjoy the benefit of familiarity and an established manufacturing and marketing base. This competition comes from a number of entrenched players worldwide, including Acumed,DePuySynth, Zimmer Biomet Inc., Conmed Corp., Encore Orthopedics, Exactech, Inc., Johnson & Johnson, DePuy,Holdings Inc., Medtronic Sofamor Danek, Inc., Orthofix International N.V.,Plc, Smith and Nephew Plc, Stryker Corp., Synthes, Inion, Ltd. and others. Although many of these competitors have substantially greater resources upon which to draw, we are confident that the technological superiority of the more forward-looking product will ultimately equalize the playing field by orthopaedic innovation.
For the past 20 years, titanium has been the most widely used, and the most expensive material for fixing fractures (in both elective and emergency surgery). Although metal exhibits the desired strength and rigidity to allow the healing process to begin, there are a number of issues associated with using permanent titanium systems. Biodegradable plating systems deliver many of the benefits of their metal counterparts, without the disadvantages.
There are a number of marketers and manufacturers of PLA and PLLA—the first generation of Self-degradable, absorbable, orthopedic internal fixation devices in China. (Note: Titanium screws cost as much as $2200.)
Other foreign companies that produce PLA, PLLA or titanium, stainless products, but have less marketing in China are:
● DePuy (Johnson & Johnson)
● Medtronic
● Stryker Corp.
● Zimmer Biomet
● Smith & Nephew
● Inion
Product advantage and Market Opportunity:
| - | There are no similar patent registrations in China. |
| - | We are the only company |
| - | We have a timing advantage over other companies in China which would have to go through the preclinical testing for the CFDA permit on Clinical Trials. |
| - | Under existing regulation by CFDA, it will take at least 3-5 years to complete clinical trials for a new product similar to the Company’s PA Screw, which has finished all required clinical trials. |
Product Comparisons
Among many other advantages, a main advantage of ABMT’s proprietary PA technology is the elimination of the need for secondary surgery to remove an implantation device. Implant removal belongs to the most common elective orthopaedic procedures in industrial countries. In children, implant removal may be necessary to remove implants early to avoid disturbances to the growing skeleton, to prevent their bony immuring making later removal technically difficult or impossible, and to allow for planned reconstructive surgery after skeletal maturation (e.g., in case of hip dysplasia). In adults, pain, soft tissue irritation, the resumption of strenuous activities or contact sports after fracture healing, and the patient’s demand are typical indications for implant removal in clinical practice. However, implant removal requires a second surgical procedure in scarred tissue, and poses a risk for nerve damage and re-fractures.(cite: Hanson et al.BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders 2008)

2Implant removal belongs to the most common elective orthopaedic procedures in the industrial countries. In a frequently cited Finnish study, implant removal contributed to almost 30% of all planned orthopaedic operations, and 15% of all operations.(cite: (cite: Bostman O, Pihlajamaki H: Routine implant removal after fracture surgery: a potentially reducible consumer of hospital resources in trauma units.)
Towards the end of the last century, spinal and orthopedic implants evolved towards progressively stronger and stiffer devices, as it was presumed that increased construct rigidity would optimize the biological milieu and provide more rapid and robust healing and arthrodesis. For the past 20 years, titanium has been the most widely used, and the most expensive material for fixing fractures (in both elective and emergency surgery). More than 1,000 tons (2.2 million pounds) of titanium devices of every description and function are implanted in patients worldwide each year. Although metal exhibits the desired strength and rigidity to allow the healing process to begin, there are a number of issues associated with using permanent titanium systems.

Our Business
We are engaged in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing and the planned future marketing of self-reinforced, re-absorbable biodegradablebiomaterial internal fixation devices. We hold one medical device permit from the China Food and Drug Administration (“CFDA”) for our product - polymer orthopaedic internal fixation screws and two patents issued by the State Intellectual Property Office of the P.R.C. (“SIPO”). Our polyamide materials, their uses and manufacturing processes are protected by Patent No. ZL971190739. A new patent, no. ZL971190739, isNo. ZL201410647464.1 titled “Bone Fracture Plate Made of High Polymer Materials” was granted to us in January 2018. Our polyamide materials are used in producing screws, binding wires, rods and related products. These products are used in a variety of applications which includeincluding orthopedic trauma, sports related medical treatment, or cartilage injuries, and reconstructive dental procedures. Our products are biodegradableAt this time, our company is the sole patent holder and market permit holder of PA technologies in China, as well as the only company currently engaged in clinical trials, manufacturing and marketing for PA orthopaedic internal fixation devices whichin the PRC. Our products are made of a very unique material called PolyamidePA6-P(MMA-CO-NVP)-HA (“PA”). Our PA products, such as screws, rods, and binding wires, rods, suture anchors and rib-pins consist of enhanced fibers and high molecular polymers which are designed to facilitate quick healing of complex fractures in many areas of the human skeletal system.
Our products offer a number of significant advantages over existing metal implants and the first generation of degradable implants (i.e. PLLA) for patients, surgeons and other customers including:
| 1. | A notably reduced need for a secondary surgery to remove implant due to post-operative complications, therefore avoiding unnecessary risk and expense on all patient care; | |
| 2. | Enhancing the performance of the materials by manufacturing them to be easily fitted to each patient, forming an exact fit; | |
| 3. | Improving the biological activity of materials. Clinical trial results have shown that | |
| 4. | Reducing the chance of post-operative infection; | |
| 5. | ||
| 6. | Ease of post-operative care i.e. no distortion during x-ray imaging; | |
| 7. | Simple and cost-effective to manufacture. |
Our products are designed to replace the traditional internal fixation device made of stainless steel and titanium and overcome the limitations of previous generations of products such as PLA and PLLA. Our laboratory statistics show that our PA products have a higher mechanical strength, last longer in degradation ratio and are more evenly absorbed form outer layer inwards as compared with similar materials such as PLA and PLLA. Thus PA allows increased restoration time for bone healing and re-growth. The Company’s PA Degradable and Absorbable Screw (“PA Screw”) and Degradable and Absorbable Binding Wire (“PA Binding Wire) are currently being tested in human trials under permitpolymer orthopaedic internal fixation screws received approval from the China Food and Drug Administration (“CFDA”). As of October 31, 2017, the Company completed 83 successful PA Screw trial cases, and 57 successful PA Binding Wire. Upon the completion of these trials the Company has already exceeded China CFDA’s requirement on PA Screw trial. The Company’s CFDA Application for its PA Screw is at the final stage of the CFDA Review Process. in April 2018.
CFDA Application Process and Approval for PAPolymer Screws
The Company first submitted its application for PA Screws to the CFDA formally SFDA, in 2008. The application has been withheld by the CFDA pending additional clinical trial cases. This is due to the amended CFDA regulations, which unlike previous regulations require the applicant to specify the position on the body where the clinical trial is carried out. Our amended CFDA application has specified the ankle fracture as the body part of our clinical trial. This is because bones around this part carry most of the body weight. As of October 31, 2011, we have completed all additional clinical trials required by the CFDA with 100 percent success rate. As of October 31, 2017, the company’s CFDA Application is at the final stage of the CFDA Review Process.
In March 2013, The State Food and Drug Administration of the PRC (“SFDA”), China’s medical device market regulatory agency, underwent a reorganization that saw much of China’s food and drug regulatory powers consolidated into the agency, elevating it back to a ministerial-level agency directly under the State Council. The new name for the agency is China State Food and Drug Administration (“CFDA”). The name change meant the CFDA reports directly to China’s State Council and has broader authority to oversee medical device as well as food and drug sectors. This reorganization leads to a more streamlined and efficient registration process for medical devices in China. Since the reorganization, the CFDA has issued series of circulars and guidelines to help applicants. Following the CFDA guidelines, the Company has improved its GMP facilities, updated its Technical Documentation System to cover key areas such as Clinical Trial, Manufacturing Process, R&D, Monitoring and Quality Control. Due to the uniqueness of our material, there arewere no established CFDA Product Standards that we cancould follow during our application process for our PA Screws. To establish our own Product Standards, the Company hashad been carrying out extra tests. The Company has submitted its Product Standards and supplementary reports to the CFDA in 2014. In December 2016, the Company received a notice from the CFDA requesting supplementary report as part of currentthe review process. The Company completed the supplementary report and submitted it to the CFDA in June 2017. The CFDA has not requested further information from the Company.
TheIn April 2018, the Company’s production lines are fully operational. We have been producing productsapplication for further researches, testing and product quality control improvements. Followingits PA Screws was approved by the CFDA final approval, the company will be earning revenues in the same quarter that its application is approved. The Company has been renovating its Shenzhen GMP facility to meet new China Food and Drug Administration (“CFDA”) regulations and in preparation for CFDA’s approval of the Company’s PA Screws product. The facility upgrade was expected to take three months but we estimate the completion date to be earlier.(Medical Device Certification Number: 20183460133).
Clinical Trials on Other Products
Currently, weThe Company has completed a total of 83 successful clinical human trial cases, including 71 cases on ankle fractures and 57 successful PA Binding Wire trial cases. We have been conducting clinicalhuman trials for PA Binding Wires at the 6 state level hospitals authorizedrecognized by the CFDA for clinical trials in different cities throughout China,China; including Nanchang, Changsha, Luoyang, Nanning and Tianjin. We have successfully completed all 60 clinical human trial cases required by the CFDA,The cities and we have completed 42 comparison cases. CFDA regulations require each successfulprovinces where our clinical trial case tohospitals are based will be accompanied by a trial case that uses a different productthe initial target regions on our marketing plan. These regions are both densely populated and have experienced high or above medium economic growth. The clinical trials for comparison reasons. We intendedthe Company’s PA Screws have been completed with 100 percent success rate. Having gained CFDA approval for PA Screws, the Company is planning to start CFDA Application Process for our PA Binding Wires when we completeclinical trials on series of orthopaedic products the remaining 18 comparison cases.
The Company has setup a joint research project with Sichuan University. The Company has completeddeveloped using the design and production of testing mini-screws using its patented PA material. This project is currently under way.
However, there can be no assurance that the company will be able to obtain any further clearances or approvals, if required, to market its products for their intended uses on a timely basis, if at all. Moreover, regulatory approvals, if granted, may include significant limitations on the indicated uses for which a product may be marketed. Delays in the receipt of or the failure to obtain such clearances or approvals, the need for additional clearances or approvals, the loss of previously received clearances or approvals, unfavorable limitations or conditions of approval, or the failure to comply with existing or future regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company has decided to take a new approach to clinical trials by outsourcing its clinical trial operations starting 2018. The Company believes that employing Contract Research Organizations (“CROs”) in future product development will help reduce costs and speed the process of bringing a product to market. By outsourcing tasks such as clinical trial management; monitoring; clinical laboratory services; data management, preparation of a submission to CFDA; regulatory affairs support etc., the Company can concentrate on other core tasks such as R&D and manufacturing.same unique biomaterial.
Government Regulation
Medical implant devices/products manufactured or marketed by the companyCompany in China are subject to extensive regulations by the CFDA. Pursuant to the related laws and acts, as amended, and the regulations promulgated there under (the “CFDA Regulations”), the CFDA regulates the clinical testing, manufacture, labeling, distribution and promotion of medical devices. The CFDA also has the authority to request repair, replacement, or refund of the cost of any device manufactured or distributed by the Company.
Under the CFDA Regulations, medical devices are classified into three classes (class I, II or III), the basis of the controls deemed necessary by the CFDA to reasonably assure their safety and efficacy. Under the CFDA’s regulations, class I devices are subject to general controls [for(for example, labeling and adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”) requirements]requirements) and class II devices are subject to general and special controls. Generally, class III devices are those which must receive premarket approval by the CFDA to ensure their safety and efficacy (for example, life-sustaining, life-supporting and certain implantable devices, or new devices which have not been found substantially equivalent to legally marketed class I or class II devices). The Company is classified as a manufacturer of class III medical devices. Current CFDA enforcement policy prohibits the marketing of approved medical devices for unapproved uses.
Before a new device can be introduced into the market in China, the manufacturer generally must obtain CFDA marketing clearance through clinical trials. Since the companyCompany is classified as a manufacturer of Class III medical devices, the companyCompany must carry out all clinical trials in pre-selected CFDA approved hospitals.
Manufacturers of medical devices for marketing in China are required to adhere to GMP requirements. Enforcement of GMP requirements has increased significantly in the last several years and the CFDA has publicly stated that compliance will be more strictly scrutinized. From time to time the CFDA has made changes to the GMP and other requirements that increase the cost of compliance. Changes in existing laws or requirements or adoption of new laws or requirements could have a material adverse effect on the company’sCompany’s business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the companyCompany will not incur significant costs to comply with applicable laws and requirements in the future or that applicable laws and requirements will not have a material adverse effect upon the company’sCompany’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Regulations regarding the development, manufacturing and sale of the company’sCompany’s products are subject to change. The Company cannot predict the impact, if any, that such changes might have on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Results of Operations
The “Results of Operations” discussed in this section merely reflect the information and results of Masterise and Shenzhen Changhua for the years ended October 31, 20172018 and 2016.2017.

The Company will market its products through a hybrid sales force comprised of a managed network of independent regional distributors/sales agents (80%) and direct sales representatives (20%) in China.
There are two ways the company will generate revenue, 1) through our nationwide and regional distributors and 2) through our direct sales channels.
Funding Needs
The Company estimates that it will need to raise minimum $900,000 over the next 12 months to bring its current products to market, and begin earning revenues. This amount may increase if we decide to start clinical trials on new products. Once we receive the CFDA permit forstart to market our PA Screw, our revenue will cover our expenditures. Otherwise, we will continue to rely on external investments and shareholder’s loans to meet our cash needs. While the Company has no outside sources of funding, the Company’s shareholders have committed to advance the Company funds as needed. There is a Letter of Continuing Financial Support signed between the Company and one of its major shareholders, Titan Technology Development Ltd.
China’s Marketing Analysis and Sales Strategy
We have established long term relationships with many hospitals and national distributors in China. Ms. Hui Wang, the Company’s CEO, has over 25 years’ sales experience in medical distribution. She will be in charge of our sales programs. Professor LIU, Shangli, our chief medical advisor for Greater China, is one of the highest ranked orthopedic doctors in China as well as being highly renowned in the rest of the world. He will assist the Company in nationwide product promotion and joint projects with associated academic institutions and medical schools.
During product development and clinical trial stages we developed close relationships with many major national hospitals. We expect these relationships to boost our revenue generation following CFDA final approval. In order to better serve our customers, including hospitals, distributors, patients and the general public, the Company will set up Regional Service Offices to provide technical support, product information, and customer aid service.
China’s market for PA devices depends on 3 major conditions:
- Patients
- Advanced technology level
- Performance and price of the materials
The demand for internal fixation medical devices has rapidly increased during the last decade. According to China Health Care Year Book 2013, the total revenue of Chinese orthopaedic hospitals in 2013 was US$1.28 billion with over 11.5 million patients. From 2009 to 2013, the market size of China’s orthopaedic devices has grown from US$1.1 billion to US$1.92 billion, and it is estimated to reach US$4 billion in 2020. China has overtaken Japan as the second largest market in the world. The Chinese market size for trauma treatment implant devices such as our PA Screw and PA Wire was US$1.88 billion in 2013 and US$2.12 billion in 2014 with a growth rate of 12.7%, it is estimated to grow to US$3.02 billion in 2017 and reach US$3.17 billion in 2018 with a growth rate of 11.6%. (Source: Shenwan Hongyuan SecutitiesSecurities research report).
China has gradually entered the Old Age Society. It is expected that there will be 245 million people over 60 years of age by 2020, and, according to the survey of 50 years old, the incidence of osteoporosis is as high as 60%, accompanied by osteoporosis, fracture, bone necrosis, disability and other diseases, resulting in continued high demand of orthopaedic implant medical devices. (Source: The UN; Shenwan Hongyuan SecutitiesSecurities research report).
Other factors such as new and improved medical technology will continue to rapidly grow throughout hospitals in China, and material optimization and product pricing is expected to directly stimulate double digits market growth rate in the near future in China.
The Company has advantages and more opportunities over others competitors due to:
- No other similar patent registrations in China.
- We are the only company qualifiedreceived market approval and permitted to perform PA clinical trials by the CFDA to the best of our knowledge.
- We have a timing advantage over other companies in China, which would have to go through the preclinical testing for the CFDA permit on clinical trials.
- Under new regulations by the CFDA, it will take at least 5-10 years for clinical trials of new materials.
- Our patented material will enables us to rapidly diversify our product line according to market trend and demand.

Income Tax
ABMT was incorporated in the United States and has incurred net operating loss for income tax purposes for 20172018 and 2016.2017. ABMT has net operating loss carry forwards for income taxes amounting to approximately $1,915,159$2,082,118 and $1,771,223$1,915,159 as of October 31, 20172018 and 20162017 respectively which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income. These carry forwards, will expire, if not utilized, commencing in 2029. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses appears uncertain due to the Company’s limited operating history and continuing losses. Accordingly, a full, deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset benefit has been recorded. The valuation allowance at October 31, 2018 and 2017 was $707,920 and 2016 was $478,790 and $442,806$651,154 respectively. The net change in the valuation allowance for 20172018 was an increase of $35,984.$56,766.
Masterise was incorporated in the BVI and under current law of the BVI, is not subject to tax on income.
Shenzhen Changhua was incorporated in the PRC and is subject to PRC income tax which is computed according to the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC. The income tax rate has been 25%. No income tax expense has been provided by Shenzhen Changhua as it is waiting for CFDA approval and it has incurred losses.
Net Loss
As reflected in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $7,679,298$8,632,618 at October 31, 20172018 that includes a net loss of $691,600$953,320 for the year ended October 31, 2017. We are in Clinical Trial phase and do not have a CFDA permit to produce, market or sell in China.
2018. We therefore do not have any revenue from inception to October 31, 20172018 but have to incur operating expenses for the upkeep of the Company and the clinical trials.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had a working capital deficit of $5,055,542$5,721,907 at October 31, 20172018 compared to a working capital deficit of $4,435,981$5,055,542 as of October 31, 2016.2017. Our working capital deficit increased as a result of the fact that we are in clinical trial phase, the company has put all resources to complete the clinical trials. We do not have a CFDA permit to produce, market or sell in China. We had no revenues during the year and that our sole source of financing came in the form of a loan from our related parties and stockholders.
Cash Flows
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $557,712$832,421 in the year ended October 31, 2017.2018. This amount was attributable primarily to the net loss after adjustment for non-cash items, such as depreciation and imputed interest on advances from directors.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
We recorded $760$64,405 net cash used in investing activities in the year ended October 31, 2017.2018. This amount reflected purchases of property and equipment, primarily for research and development to our facilities.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities in the year ended October 31, 20172018 was $557,751,$889,901, which represented advances from related parties.
Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements
Our ability to continue as a going concern and support the commercialization of current products is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing in the near term. We anticipate that such funding will be in the form of equity financing from sales of our common stock. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our business plan should we decide to proceed. We anticipate continuing to rely on advances from our related parties and stockholders in order to continue to fund our business operations
We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents at October 31, 2017,2018, will be insufficient to meet our cash needs. The management is actively pursuing additional funding and strategic partners, which will enable the Company to implement our business plan, business strategy, to continue research and development, manufacturing and marketing our products, clinical trials or further development that may arise.
Debt Conversion
On April 28, 2017, the Company entered into a debt conversion agreement with Titan Technology Development Ltd., pursuant to which the Company and Titan agreed to convert $100,000 of the accrued interest of the outstanding debt owed by the Company to Titan into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.05 per share. Pursuant to the terms of the Debt Conversion Agreement, on April 28, 2017, $100,000 of the accrued interest of TTD’s outstanding loan was converted into 2,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock.
Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $7,679,298$8,632,618 as of October 31, 20172018 that includes a net loss of $691,600$953,320 for the year ended October 31, 2017.2018. The Company’s total current liabilities exceed its total current assets by $5,055,542$5,721,907 and the Company used cash in operations of $557,712.$832,421.
These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent up the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management has taken steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is now pursuing additional funding and potential merger or acquisition candidates, which would enhance stockholders’ investment. Management believes that the above actions will allow the Company to continue operations through the next fiscal year.
As of October 31, 2017,2018, loans from the Company’s stockholder, two directors, three related parties and a non-related third party totaling $4,671,395$5,312,246 were provided to us for use as working capital. Management believes that such financing will allow us to continue operations through the next fiscal year. The Company is also actively pursuing a number of private placements funding which would ensure continued operations.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our investors.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited to those related to income taxes and impairment of long-lived assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions and factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Based on our ongoing review, we plan to adjust to our judgments and estimates where facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
We believe the following critical accounting policies are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and require our management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
| 1. | Property and equipment |
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis, less estimated residual value over the assets estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of the assets are 5 years.
| 2. | Long-lived assets |
In accordance with FASB Codification Topic 360 (ASC Topic 360), “Accounting for the impairment or disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets to determine that carrying values are not impaired.
Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. Impairment of the carrying value of long-lived assets would be indicated if the best estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset grouping is less than its carrying value. If an impairment is indicated, any loss is measured as the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value and is recognized in operating income. For the year ended October 31, 20172018 and 2016,2017, the company has not recognized any impairment charges.
| 3. | Fair value of financial instruments |
FASB Codification Topic 825(ASC Topic 825), “Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. The carrying amounts of other receivables and prepaid expenses, other payables and accrued expenses, due to a stockholder, directors and related parties approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of the instruments. The management of the Company is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial statements.
| 4. | Government grant |
Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company complies with any conditions attached to them and the grants will be received.
| 5. | Income taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes under the FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period included the enactment date.
| 6. | Research and Development |
Research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed as incurred.
| 7. | Foreign currency translation |
The financial statements of the Company’s subsidiary denominated in currencies other than US $ are translated into US $ using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into US $ using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. All exchange differences are recorded within equity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Business Combination: Clarifying the Definition of a Business
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-1 “Topic 805, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business”. The amendments in this update provide a screen to determine when a set is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. The amendments in this update affect all reporting entities that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business. Public business entities should apply the amendments in this update to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. All other entities should apply the amendments to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-1 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-4 “Topic 350: Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The amendments in this update eliminate step two of the goodwill impairment test and specifies that goodwill impairment should be measured by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Additionally, the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets should be disclosed. The amendments in this update are effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-4 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Share-based Compensation
In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance on changes to terms and conditions of share-based payment awards. The amendment provides guidance about which changes to terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The guidance is effective for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2018, including interim periods within that year.
In June 2018, the scope of Topic 718 has been expanded to include sharebased payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and after December 15, 2019 for all other entities. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606.
The Company does not anticipate that adoption of this guidancethese guidances will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. Under the new standard, a good or service is transferred to the customer when (or as) the customer obtains control of the good or service, which differs from the risk and rewards approach under current guidance. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of the time value of money in the transaction price and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. In March, April and May 2016, the FASB issued three additional updates regarding identifying performance obligations and licensing, certain principal versus agent considerations and various narrow scope improvements based on practical questions raised by users. In September 2017, the FASB issued additional amendments providing clarification and implementation guidance. The guidance may be adopted through either retrospective application to all periods presented in the financial statements (full retrospective approach) or through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings at the effective date (modified retrospective approach). The guidance is effective for the fiscal periods beginning on January 1, 2018.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which modifies lease accounting for lessees to increase transparency and comparability by recording lease assets and liabilities for operating leases and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard, as amended by ASU 2018-01 and ASU 2018-11, is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 in its first quarter of the year ending October 31 2020. The Company expects its leases designated as operating leases in Note 6, “Commitments and Contingencies,” will be reported on the consolidated balance sheets upon adoption. However, the ultimate impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 will depend on the lease terms as of the adoption date.
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoptions of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on the financial condition or the results of operations.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as ofat October 31, 20172018 and 2016,2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the two-year period ended October 31, 2017,2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurringfrom losses from operationsoperation and has a significant accumulated deficit.deficits. The Company comes to have insufficient cash flows generated from operation and provided for development. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
| (A) | Organization |
Advanced Biomedical Technologies, Inc. (fka “Geostar Mineral Corporation” or “Geostar”) (“ABMT”) was incorporated in Nevada on September 12, 2006.
Shenzhen Changhua Biomedical Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Changhua”) was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on September 25, 2002 as a limited liability company with a registered capital of $724,017. Shenzhen Changhua is owned by two stockholders in the proportion of 70% and 30% respectively. Shenzhen Changhua plans to develop, manufacture and market self-reinforced, re-absorbable degradable PAhas been involved in the development of polymer screws, robsrods and binding tieswires for fixation on human fractured bones. The Company is currently involved in researching, manufacturing and conducting clinical trials on its products and intends to raise additional capital to produce and market its products commercially pending the approvalcommercially. The Company holds one Class III permit and one Class II permit from the China Food and Drug Administration (“CFDA”), formerly known as “SFDA”formally the State Food and Drug Administration (“SFDA”) of the PRC on its products.PRC. The Company holds two patents issued by the State Intellectual Property Office of the P.R.C. (“SIPO”). The Company has no revenue since its inception and, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915, “Development Stage Entities”, is considered a Development Stage Company.
Masterise Holdings Limited (“Masterise”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 31 May, 2007 as an investment holding company. Masterise is owned as to 63% by the spouse of Shenzhen Changhua’s 70% majority stockholder and 37% by a third party corporation.
On January 29, 2008, Masterise entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“the Agreement”) with a stockholder of Shenzhen Changhua whereupon Masterise acquired 70% of Shenzhen Changhua for US$64,100 in cash. The acquisition was completed on February 25, 2008. As both Masterise and Shenzhen Changhua are under common control and management, the acquisition was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control. Accordingly, the operations of Shenzhen Changhua were included in the consolidated financial statements as if the transactions had occurred retroactively.
On December 31, 2008, ABMT consummated a Share Exchange Agreement (“the Exchange Agreement”) with the stockholders of Masterise pursuant to which Geostar issued 50,000 shares of Common Stock to the stockholders of Masterise for 100% equity interest in Masterise.
Concurrently, on December 31, 2008, a major stockholder of ABMT also consummated an Affiliate Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Affiliate Agreement”) with thirteen individuals including all the stockholders of Masterise, pursuant to which the major stockholder sold a total of 5,001,000 shares of ABMT’s common stock for a total aggregate consideration of $5,000, including 4,438,250 shares to the stockholders of Masterise.
On consummation of the Exchange Agreement and the Affiliate Agreement, the 70% majority stockholder of Masterise became an 80.7% stockholder of ABMT.
On March 13, 2009, the name of the Company was changed from Geostar Mineral Corporation to Advanced Biomedical Technologies, Inc.
The merger of ABMT and Masterise was treated for accounting purposes as a capital transaction and recapitalization by Masterise (“the accounting acquirer”) and a re-organization by ABMT (“the accounting acquiree”). The financial statements have been prepared as if the re-organization had occurred retroactively.
Accordingly, these financial statements include the following:
| (1) | The balance sheet consisting of the net assets of the acquirer at historical cost and the net assets of the acquiree at historical cost. | |
| (2) | The statement of operations including the operations of the acquirer for the periods presented and the operations of the acquiree from the date of the transaction. |
ABMT, Masterise and Shenzhen Changhua are hereinafter referred to as (“the Company”).
| (B) | Principles of consolidation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of ABMT and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Masterise and its 70% owned subsidiary, Shenzhen Changhua. The noncontrolling interests represent the noncontrolling stockholders’ 30% proportionate share of the results of Shenzhen Changhua.
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
| (C) | Use of estimates |
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| (D) | Cash and cash equivalents |
For purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits with a bank with a maturity of less than three months. As of October 31, 20172018 and 2016,2017, all the cash and cash equivalents were denominated in United States Dollars (“US$”), Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) and Renminbi (“RMB”) and were placed with banks in the United States of America, Hong Kong and PRC. Balances at financial institutions or state-owned banks within the PRC are not freely convertible into foreign currencies and the remittance of these funds out of the PRC is subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by the PRC government.
| (E) | Property and equipment |
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis, less estimated residual value over the assets estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of the assets are 5 years.
| (F) | Long-lived assets |
The Company accounts for long-lived assets under the FASB Codification Topic 360 (ASC 360) “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. In accordance with ASC Topic 360, long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, when undiscounted future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover an asset’s carrying amount, the asset is written down to its fair value. The long-lived assets of the Company, which are subject to evaluation, consist primarily of property and equipment. For the years ended October 31, 20172018 and 2016,2017, the Company has not recognized any allowances for impairment.
| (G) | Fair value of financial instruments |
FASB Codification Topic 825 (ASC Topic 825), “Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. The carrying amounts of other receivables and prepaid expenses other payables and accrued liabilities and due to directors, a stockholder and related parties approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of the instruments. The management of the Company is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial statements.
| (H) | Income taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes under the FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period included the enactment date.
We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where there is greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, we have recorded the largest amount of tax benefit that may potentially be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where there is a 50% or less likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements.
| (I) | Research and development |
Research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed as incurred. Total expenditure on research and development charged to general and administrative expenses for the years ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 were $56,512 and 2016 were $48,053 and $57,300 respectively.
| (J) | Foreign currency translation |
The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. ABMT, Masterise and Shenzhen Changhua maintain their accounting records in their functional currencies of US$, HK$ and RMB respectively.
Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated to the functional currency at the approximate rates of exchange on the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the approximate rates of exchange at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the time the asset or liability was acquired. Exchange gains or losses are recorded in the statement of operations.
The financial statements of Masterise and Shenzhen Changhua (whose functional currency is HK$ and RMB respectively) are translated into US$ using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into US$ using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. All exchange differences are recorded within equity.
The exchange rates used to translate amounts in HK$ and RMB into US$ for the purposes of preparing the financial statements were as follows:
| October 31, | October 31, | |||
| Balance sheet items, except for share capital, additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficits, as of year end | US$1=HK$ | US$1=HK$ | ||
Amounts included in the statements of operations and cash flows for the year | US$1=HK$ | US$1=HK$ |
The translation lossgain and gainloss recorded for the years ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 were $262,770 and 2016 were $94,255 and $252,439 respectively.
No presentation is made that RMB amounts have been, or would be, converted into US$ at the above rates. Although the Chinese government regulations now allow convertibility of RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain. Hence, such translations should not be construed as representations that RMB could be converted into US$ at that rate or any other rate.
The value of RMB against US$ and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of US$ reporting.
| (K) | Other comprehensive loss |
The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from translation of the financial statements expressed in RMB and HK$ to US$ is reported as other comprehensive gain or loss in the statements of operations and stockholders’ deficit. Other comprehensive lossgain and gainloss for the years ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 were $262,770 and 2016 were $94,255 and $252,439 respectively.
| (L) | Loss per share |
Basic loss per share are computed by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and if the additional shares were diluted. There are no potentially dilutive securities as at October 31, 20172018 and October 31, 2016.2017.

| (N) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
Business Combination: Clarifying the Definition of a Business
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-1 “Topic 805, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business”. The amendments in this update provide a screen to determine when a set is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. The amendments in this update affect all reporting entities that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business. Public business entities should apply the amendments in this update to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. All other entities should apply the amendments to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-1 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-4 “Topic 350: Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The amendments in this update eliminate step two of the goodwill impairment test and specifies that goodwill impairment should be measured by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Additionally, the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets should be disclosed. The amendments in this update are effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-4 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Share-based Compensation
In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance on changes to terms and conditions of share-based payment awards. The amendment provides guidance about which changes to terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The guidance is effective for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2018, including interim periods within that year.
In June 2018, the scope of Topic 718 has been expanded to include sharebased payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and after December 15, 2019 for all other entities. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606.
The Company does not anticipate that adoption of this guidancethese guidances will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. Under the new standard, a good or service is transferred to the customer when (or as) the customer obtains control of the good or service, which differs from the risk and rewards approach under current guidance. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of the time value of money in the transaction price and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. In March, April and May 2016, the FASB issued three additional updates regarding identifying performance obligations and licensing, certain principal versus agent considerations and various narrow scope improvements based on practical questions raised by users. In September 2017, the FASB issued additional amendments providing clarification and implementation guidance. The guidance may be adopted through either retrospective application to all periods presented in the financial statements (full retrospective approach) or through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings at the effective date (modified retrospective approach). The guidance is effective for the fiscal periods beginning on January 1, 2018.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which modifies lease accounting for lessees to increase transparency and comparability by recording lease assets and liabilities for operating leases and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard, as amended by ASU 2018-01 and ASU 2018-11, is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 in its first quarter of the year ending October 31 2020. The Company expects its leases designated as operating leases in Note 6, “Commitments and Contingencies,” will be reported on the consolidated balance sheets upon adoption. However, the ultimate impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 will depend on the lease terms as of the adoption date.
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoptions of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on the financial condition or the results of operations.

ABMT was incorporated in the United States and has incurred net operating loss for income tax purposes for 20172018 and 2016.2017. ABMT has net operating loss carry forwards for income taxes amounting to approximately $1,915,159$2,082,118 and $1,771,223$1,915,159 as of October 31, 20172018 and 20162017 respectively which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income. These carry forwards, will expire, if not utilized, commencing in 2029. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses appears uncertain due to the Company’s limited operating history and continuing losses. Accordingly, a full, deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset benefit has been recorded. The valuation allowance at October 31, 2018 and 2017 was $707,920 and 2016 was $478,790 and $442,806$651,154 respectively.

8.CONCENTRATIONS AND RISKS
As at October 31, 2018 and 2017, 94% and 6% of the Company’s assets were located in the P.R.C. and the United States respectively.
As at October 31, 2016, 95% and 5% of the Company’s assets were located in the P.R.C. and the United States respectively.9.GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $7,679,298$8,632,618 as of October 31, 20172018 that includes a net loss of $691,600$953,320 for the year ended October 31, 2017.2018. The Company’s total current liabilities exceed its total current assets by $5,055,542$5,721,907 and the Company used cash in operations of $557,712.$832,421. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
To continue as a going concern, the Company is actively pursuing additional funding and strategic partners to enable it to implement its business plan. Management believes that these actions, if successful, will allow the Company to continue its operations through the next fiscal year.
10.SUBSEQUENT EVENT
The Company has evaluated the existence of significant events subsequent to the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events or transactions which would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

We believe our code of ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code. A copy of the code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to this report.
Disclosure Committee and Charter
We have a disclosure committee and disclosure committee charter. Our disclosure committee is comprised of all of our officers and directors. The purpose of the committee is to provide assistance to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer in fulfilling their responsibilities regarding the identification and disclosure of material information about us and the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of our financial reports. A copy of the disclosure committee charter is filed as an exhibit to this report.

Indemnification
Under our Bylaws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
