    We cannot assure you that we can continue to operate profitably.

    Although we generated net income of $419,660 on revenues of $8,014,500for the year ended September 30, 2018, for the year ended September 30, 2019, we incurred a loss of $370,747 on sales of $1,354,000. Our gross margin for the year ended September 30, 2019 was 10%. We will not be able to operate profitably until and unless we are able to generate sufficient revenue so that our gross profit can cover our operating expenses. we cannot assure you that we be able to operate at a profit. We do not have any full-time employees and our chief executive officer, who provides his services on a part-time basis, has not received any salary. If we increase our operations and engage in selling, marketing and research and development activities, we will incur significant selling, general and administrative expenses. Unless we can significantly increase our revenue and gross profit or raise funds from other sources, including the sale or our equity securities, we may not be able to operate profitably. The lack of an active trading market in our common stock combined with our lack of sales and can materially impair our ability to raise money through the sale of equity securities. Further, to the extent that we are not able to sell our inventory before it becomes unsaleable because of its age, we would need to write off any unsaleable inventory which would materially impact our financial conditions, the results of our operations and our ability to raise funds.

    Our auditors' report includes a going concern paragraph.

    Our auditors' report on our financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 includes a going concern paragraph. At September 30, 2019, we have limited cash, had limited gross profit, which was significantly less than our operating expenses, and we incurred a loss from our operations for the year ended September 30, 2019. Although we hope to fund operations through increased sales and equity financing arrangements, our financial condition and the results of our operations as well as the lack of an active trading market in our stock and a market capitalization that is inconsistent with our financial performance make it less likely that we will be able to raise funds for capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    There is presently no active market for our common stock, which may make it difficult for you to sell your stock.

    Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB marketplace under the symbol ACBM. There is no active trading market for our common stock, and the OTC Markets website shows that there are many days on which there is no trading volume or very limited trading volume. Accordingly, even if a market develops, as to which we can give no assurance, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of our common stock, the ability of holders of our common stock to sell our common stock, or the prices at which holders may be able to sell our common stock. Further, if a market develops, it is likely that there will not be any significant float, with the result that the reported bid and asked prices may have little relationship to the price you would pay if you wanted to buy shares or the price you would receive if you wanted to sell shares.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Because our common stock is a penny stock, you may have difficulty selling our common stock in the secondary trading market.

    If a market for our common stock develops, it is likely that our common stock will fit the definition of a penny stock and therefore is subject to the rules adopted by the SEC regulating broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. The SEC rules may have the effect of reducing trading activity in our common stock making it more difficult for investors to purchase and sell their shares. The SEC's rules require a broker or dealer proposing to effect a transaction in a penny stock to deliver the customer a risk disclosure document that provides certain information prescribed by the SEC, including, but not limited to, the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker or dealer must also disclose the aggregate amount of any compensation received or receivable by him in connection with such transaction prior to consummating the transaction. In addition, the SEC's rules also require a broker or dealer to make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction before completion of the transaction. The existence of the SEC's rules may result in a lower trading volume of our common stock and lower trading prices. Further, some broker-dealers will not process transactions in penny stocks.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    We do not have any independent directors.

    We do not have any independent directors. Our sole director is Pao-Chi Chu, who is our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and principal stockholder. Because we have no independent director, we do not have any checks and balances on Mr. Chu, which may make it difficult for us to develop internal controls and to raise money in the financial markets.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    Our stock price may be volatile and your investment in our common stock could suffer a decline in value.

    As of the date of this annual report, there has no active trading activity in our common stock. There can be no assurance that any significant market, or any market, will ever develop in our common stock. Because of the low public float and the lack of trading volume, any reported prices may not reflect the price at which you would be able to sell shares if you want to sell any shares you own or buy shares if you wish to buy share. Further, stocks with a low public float may be more subject to manipulation than a stock that has a significant public float. The price may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following, in addition to the risks described above and general market and economic conditions: - our low stock price, which may result in a modest dollar purchase or sale of our common stock having a disproportionately large effect on the stock price; - the market's perception as to our ability to generate revenue and positive cash flow or earnings; - changes in our or securities analysts' estimate of our financial performance; - our ability or perceived ability to obtain necessary financing for our operations; - the perception of the future market for our products; - the anticipated or actual results of our operations; - changes in market valuations of other natural supplement companies; - any discrepancy between anticipated or projected results and actual results of our operations; - actions by third parties to either sell or purchase stock in quantities which would have a significant effect on our stock price; and - other factors not within our control.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Raising funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities could dilute the net tangible book value of the common stock and impose restrictions on our working capital.

    If we were to raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, either alone or in connection with a non-equity financing, the net tangible book value of the then outstanding common stock could decline. If the additional equity securities were issued at a per share price less than the market price, which is customary in the private placement of equity securities, the holders of the outstanding shares would suffer a dilution, which could be significant. We may have difficulty in raising funds through the sale of debt securities because of both our financial position, the lack of any collateral on which a lender may place a value, and the absence of any revenue or operations. If we are able to raise funds from the sale of debt securities, the lenders may impose restrictions on our operations and may impair our working capital as we service any such debt obligations. Further, it is not uncommon for investors who provide private funding to companies with weak financial positions, to require the issuer to issue convertible securities which are convertible at a discount to the market price at the time the convertible security is converted. Such securities typically have a materially adverse effect on the market price for the issuer's stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    Because of our chief executive officer's stock ownership, he has the power to elect all directors and to approve any action requiring stockholder approval.

    Mr. Pao-Chi Chu, our chief executive officer, owns 30,000,000 shares of common stock, representing approximately 62.8% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, Mr. Chu has the power, without the vote of any other stockholders, to elect all of our directors and take any action requiring stockholder approval, including any amendment to our certificate of incorporation, merger, sale of assets or other major corporate transaction. We do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
