We are a fast-growing, specialty grocery retailer offering traditional Asian food and merchandise to modern U.S. consumers, in particular to members of Asian-American communities. We are committed to providing Asian fresh produce, meat, seafood, and other daily necessities in a manner that caters to traditional Asian-American family values and cultural norms, while also accounting for the new and faster-paced lifestyle of younger generations and the diverse makeup of the communities in which we operate. To achieve this, we are developing a center-satellite stores network. Since our formation in July 2019, we have acquired equity interests in four traditional Asian supermarkets in Los Angeles, California, and have been operating these four supermarkets as center stores. We define a “center store” as a full service store, similar to a traditional supermarket or grocery store covering a metro area, but with its own storage space to be used as a warehouse to distribute products to smaller satellite stores. The center stores target traditional Asian-American family-oriented customers with a variety of meat, fresh produce and other merchandise, while additionally stocking items which appeal to the broader community. Our management’s deep cultural understanding of our consumers’ unique consumption habits drives the operation of these traditional supermarkets. In addition to our three center stores, in December of 2021 we acquired a 10% equity interest, in a new grocery store in a young and active community in Alhambra, California (the “Alhambra Store”). We intend to acquire the remaining 90% equity interest in the Alhambra Store with a portion of the net proceeds from this offering. We acquired our interest in the Alhambra Store from Grace Xu, spouse John Xu, our chief executive officer. It is our intent that we will use a portion of the proceeds of this offering to acquire the remaining equity in the Alhambra Store. Our intention is that the Alhambra Store will serve as our first satellite store. The satellite stores in our network will be designed to penetrate local communities and neighborhoods with larger and growing concentrations of younger customers. Our merchandise includes fresh and unique produce, meats, seafood and other groceries which are staples of traditional Asian cuisine and which are not commonly found in mainstream supermarkets, including a variety of Asian vegetables and fruits such as Chinese broccoli, bitter melon, winter gourd, Shanghai baby bok choy, longan and lychee; a variety of live seafood such as shrimp, clams, lobster, geoduck, and Alaska king crab; and Chinese specialty products like soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, bean sprouts, Sriracha, tofu, noodles and dried fish. With an in-house logistics team and strong relationships with local and regional farms, we are capable of offering high-quality specialty perishables at competitive prices. Our customers have diverse shopping habits based on, among other factors, their age and lifestyle, and, through our partnerships with third-party vendors, we offer multiple shopping channels through integrated online and offline operations to accommodate for these habits. Along with creating an exciting and attractive in-store shopping experience, customers can choose to place orders on a third-party mobile app “Freshdeals24”, and an applet integrated into WeChat for either home delivery or in-store pickups offering our customers the option of a 100% cashier-less shopping experience. Our flexible shopping options are designed to provide customers with convenience and flexibility that best match their lifestyles and personal preferences. In April 2021, we entered into a series of agreements with JD E-commerce America Limited (“JD US”), the U.S. subsidiary of JD.com, including the Collaboration Agreement and Intellectual Property License Agreement (each as further described below).We are working closely with JD.com to build and update our own online apps to continue to specifically target and attract a wider variety of our customer base. The Company had cash on hand of $2.58 million and $0.90 million as of January 31, 2023 and April 30, 2022, respectively. The outstanding debt of the Company was $3.0 million and $3.3 million as of January 31, 2023 and April 30, 2022, respectively. As of April 30, 2022 and January 31, 2023 the Company was in violation of its debt service coverage ratio covenant on its loan with American First National Bank. The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to repay the outstanding $0.39 million loan with American First National Bank. While the Company has experienced challenges due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, inflation and rising supply chain costs and has historically operated at a net loss, it has been able to reduce its overall debt burden and increase cash on hand through a series of effective responses and steps, including price adjustment, developing more purchasing channels, working with third-party vendors who have more buying power to get products, and replacing shortage or hot products by other brands or alternatives. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected consumer behavior in many ways. For example, people may be less likely to shop in person and more likely to order groceries online for delivery or pickup, or people are more likely to cook and eat at home rather than eating in a restaurant. This shift in consumer behavior has brought a positive impact on our supermarkets’ revenue streams. Accordingly, our financial results for the years ended April 30, 2022 and 2021 and for the nine months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022 were not materially adverse impacted by inflation, supply chain disruption and the COVID-19 pandemic, our profit margins remain stable for these reporting periods. The principal stockholder of the Company has also made a commitment to provide financial support to the Company whenever necessary and intends to continue to provide support following the consummation of this offering. While our main focus is on targeting Asian-American communities and catering to both established Asian-American family values and the shifting needs of the younger generations, we also plan to opportunistically address other demographics and populations.
