PART I — REGISTRANT INFORMATION
| Avalon GloboCare Corp. |
| Full Name of Registrant |

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)
| ☒ | (a) | The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense; | |

| (c) | The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable. |
PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra Sheets if Needed)
Avalon GloboCare Corp. (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable to file the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense because it requires additional time to complete its financial statement preparation and review process. The Company’s recently completed acquisition of forty percent (40%) of all the issued and outstanding equity interests of Laboratory Services MSO, LLC (the “Laboratory Services Acquisition”) required additional time to assess the accounting and review for purposes of inclusion in the Form 10-Q. Although the assessment is not yet complete, the Company expects to report material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures.
The Company intends to file the Form 10-Q within the five-day grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION
| (1) | Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification | ||||
| Luisa Ingargiola | (732) | 780-4400 | |||
| (Name) | (Area Code) | (Telephone Number) | |||
| (2) | Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). | ||||
| Yes ☒ No ☐ | |||||
| (3) | Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? | ||||
| Yes ☒ No ☐ | |||||
| If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. | |||||
| The Company completed the Laboratory Services Acquisition in February 2023. Changes related to the Laboratory Services Acquisition, among other things, are expected to cause the Company’s results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, which will be described in further detail in the Form 10-Q, to include significant changes when compared to the Company’s results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022. The amounts that will be included in the results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 are subject to the ongoing assessment described above, and accordingly, the Company cannot, at this time, provide a reasonable estimate of the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023. | |||||
