Risk Factors
Risk Related to Nature's Miracle's Business and Industry, page 41
2.We note that you are "setting up a manufacturing facility of grow lights in Manitoba,
Canada and may set up additional manufacturing and assembly facilities in North
America." We also note that as of June 30, 2022, Megaphoton, a Chinese grow light
manufactured accounted for 81% of your vendor purchases. Please add risk factor
disclosure to discuss the potential risks that may arise by transitioning from low cost
Chinese manufacturing to higher cost U.S. and Canadian manufacturing.
3.We note that a significant portion of Nature's Miracle's products are purchased from
Megaphoton, Inc., a manufacturer of grow lights in China. Please add a risk factor that
discloses the risks to investors of having your primary supplier based China.
Our reliance on a limited base of suppliers for our products may result in disruptions to our
business..., page 48
4.We note that during the fiscal years 2021 and 2020 your five largest suppliers accounted
for 95% and 97% of your total dollar volume of the transactions between all of your
suppliers. We also note that Metaphoton, Inc. accounted for 46% and 69% of total vendor
purchases for the same periods, respectively. To the extent that you are dependent on one
or more suppliers, please identify the supplier(s) and describe the material terms of any
material agreements with these suppliers.

redemptions. Revise your disclosure to disclose the effective underwriting fee on a
percentage basis for shares at each redemption level presented in your sensitivity analysis
related to dilution.
Background of the Business Combination, page 89
6.We note your disclosure that "The private units are identical to the units sold in the IPO,
except that the private warrants are not redeemable so long as they are held by the
purchaser or its permitted transferees.” We also note your risk factor disclosure on page
65 indicating that "The private warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to
those of the warrants being sold as part of the LBBB Units, including with respect to
redeemability." Please revise this inconsistency or advise.

8.We note that LBBB intends that the Reincorporation will qualify as a “reorganization”
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Given the
parties' representation that U.S. Holders of Lakeshore securities generally should not
recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the Reincorporation, revise

9.We note your disclosure that "[you] are a global provider of equipment for the CEA

Nature's Miracle's Management's Discussion and Analysis ...
Results of Operations, page 143
10.It is unclear to us how the combination of Visiontech and Hydroman, as discussed on
pages 144 and 145, resulted in increased revenue, cost of revenue, and selling, general and
administrative expenses. Please revise Nature's Miracle's results of operations discussion,
in accordance with Item 303(b)(2) of Regulation S-K to provide clarity and to provide
greater insight to your investors regarding the underlying causes of increases or decreases
in the components of Nature's Miracle's net income.
11.In the discussion of Nature's Miracle's results of operations multiple factors are identified
as impacting your results of operations but no quantification of the contribution of each
factor to the material changes in the various line items were provided. For instance, on
page 144, Nature's Miracle attributes an increase in revenues mainly due to startup of its
Hydroman business and to fast light industry growth without quantifying the related
revenue growth arising therefrom. You also broadly attributed increases in costs of
revenues and general and administrative expenses mainly to several factors, which were
not quantified. Please refer to Item 303(b) of Regulation S-K and revise throughout to
discuss qualitatively and quantitatively such factors effecting material changes in line
items, including where material changes within a line items offset one another. In
addition, you should remove vague terms such as mainly in favor of specific
quantifications.

12.It appears from the disclosures on page F-28, that Visiontech and Hydroman purchased in
excess of 75% on Nature's Miracle's cost of goods sold from a current and a former related
party: UniNetGlobal, Inc. and Megaphoton. Further, we note from the penultimate
paragraph of page F-14 that "all purchases from UniGlobal Inc. are products originally
manufactured by MegaPhoton, Inc." In light of Nature's Miracle's reliance on these two
venders, tell us and disclose the following:
•The extent to which Nature's Miracle expects to source products and materials from
these two vendors to support future operations;
•The planned timeline for transitioning of product sourcing from China to North
American manufacturing operations;
•Any agreements and/or commitments to continue to source products from these
vendors in the future;
•The nature of the products supplied by these two venders, for example
whether finished goods and/or raw material are purchased;
•The extent to which you expect future North American manufacturing operations to
rely upon Chinese sources for raw materials and work-in-progress;
•Whether or not the acquisition costs of such products approximated competitive
prices offered by third parties, and if not how any material price discounts and/or
premiums provided impacted Nature's Miracle's results from operations and
•How transitioning from a low cost manufacturing environment such as China to
higher cost manufacturing environments in North American may affect your future
results.
Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 145
13.We note that Nature's Miracle's accounts receivable balance appears to have significantly
increased at December 31, 2021 and then again at June 30, 2022. We further note that
Nature's Miracle, Visiontech, and Hydroman entered into five factoring arrangements
subsequent to June 30, 2022. Please revise Nature's Miracle's discussion of liquidity and
capital resources in accordance with Items 303(b)(1) and 303(b)(1)(i) of Regulation S-K.
Analyze Nature's Miracle's ability to generate and obtain adequate amounts of cash to
meet its short and long term requirements and plans. Identify known trends,
commitments, and uncertainties, such as those related to accounts receivable aging and
collections that will result in and/or that are reasonably likely to result in Nature's
Miracle's income from operations increasing or decreasing in a material way. Include a
discussion of all factoring agreements and/or debt agreements entered into up to the date
of the filing.
14.Further, clearly address and quantify the cost of Nature's Miracle's factoring arrangements
and their impact on Nature's Miracle's future cash flows from receivables as amounts
borrowed are repaid. Address the reasons why Nature's Miracle's customers are slow to
pay amounts due and whether and when management expects receivables collection to
improve.

Note 1 - Nature of business and organization, page F-23
21.We note your statement that, "On June 1, 2022, Nature’s Miracle, Inc. entered into the
Share Exchange Agreements with the shareholders of Visiontech Group, Inc.
(“Visiontech”, a California Company) and Hydroman, Inc. (“Hydroman”, a California
Company), resulting in the shareholders of Visiontech and Hydroman becoming
the shareholders of Nature’s Miracle and Nature’s Miracle becoming the 100%
shareholder of Visiontech and Hydroman. The Company treated the transaction as a
reverse merger. Post reverse merger, shareholders of Visiontech and Hydroman own 40%
and 29% respectively of Nature’s Miracle, Inc." In this regard:
•Referring to your basis in accounting literature, tell us why you accounted for these
transactions as a reverse merger. We note there appears to be two transactions, one
with Visiontech and one with Hydroman. We also note neither Visiontech nor
Hydroman shareholders own more that 50% of Nature's Miracle Inc. post acquisition.
•Revise your corporate structure on page 140 to clearly disclose shareholders of
Visiontech and Hydroman and their ownership interest in Nature's Miracle, Inc.
•Your corporate structure on page 140 refers to acquisitions on May 2022 not June
2022. Please explain or revise accordingly.
22.We note that the Share Exchange agreement was entered into on June 1, 2022. It also
appears from the disclosure in the second paragraph of page F-23 that common control of
Visiontech and Hydroman was established upon consummation of the combination of
those two with Nature's Miracle, Inc. Tell us and disclose when the combination
transaction closed and control of Visiontech and Hydroman passed to Nature's Miracle.
Referring to your basis in accounting literature, tell us your consideration of how the
combinations with Visiontech and Hydroman was to be accounted for. Identify for us any
common ownership and/or common management that existed between Visiontech and
Hydroman prior to the combination transaction.
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of significant accounting policies

23.Clarify for us when and how Nature's Miracle adopted ASC 842 - Leases. Disclosure on
page 148 states that Nature's Miracle adopted ASC 842 on March 31, 2022. Disclosures

2020.
