FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This disclosure statement contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may”, “intend”, “will”, “could”, “would”, “expects”, “believe”, “estimate”, or the negative of these terms, and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Also, these forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this disclosure statement. Except for our ongoing obligation to disclose material information as required by federal securities laws, we do not intend to update you concerning any future revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this disclosure statement.

Actual results in the future could differ materially and adversely from those described in the forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including the substantial investment of capital required to produce and market films and television series, increased costs for producing and marketing feature films, budget overruns, limitations imposed by our credit facilities, unpredictability of the commercial success of our motion pictures and television programming, the cost of defending our intellectual property, difficulties in integrating acquired businesses, and technological changes and other trends affecting the entertainment industry.

PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company's Financial Statements for the three-month period ending June 30, 2014 are contained within the following pages. In compliance with regulations governing FORM 10-Q reports, the information contained within these financial statements is unaudited. Additional disclosures as are required for Current Reporting Status with the OTC Markets are included in this filing.

HANNOVER HOUSE, INC.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME & RETAINED EARNINGS

FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDING JUNE 30, 2014 (UNAUDITED)

* Company has elected to EXCLUDE International Sales Contracts and ventures for current and upcoming productions (including activities from the May, 2014 Cannes Film Festival), in order to recognize revenues as each film is fully funded and completed for delivery. Company retains the option to capture and recognize contract revenues for bonded productions, and to report same in upcoming quarters preceding delivery.

** VODwiz income during Q2 was derived entirely from mastering fees charged by Company to supplier partners as part of the on-boarding processes for the forthcoming consumer launch of the portal.

*** Revenues from co-production incentives for fully funded projects (“Legend of Belle Starr” and “Shadow Vision”) are commissionable, and can be recognized by Company; Net sums (less applicable 20% fee on co-productions) have been accrued as an obligation to the production entities for those films. International sales and co-production revenues for films not fully funded are not being recognized by Company at this time.

HANNOVER HOUSE, INC.

CONSOLIDATED AND GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDING JUNE 30, 2014 (UNAUDITED)

* All costs incurred by Hannover House regarding travel, accommodations, entertainment and marketing expenses associated with the Company’s attendance at the Cannes Film Festival and Marche Du Film in May, 2014, were prepaid by Maremanno Corporation as part of their strategic investment in the film, “Black Eyed Dog.” Maremanno is entitled to recoupment of these Cannes costs (approximately $29,650) from incoming international sales licenses written by Odyssey Pictures Corporation, as such revenues are received. Accordingly, these expenses do not appear on the HHSE summary of recoupable investments.

HANNOVER HOUSE, INC.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

JUNE 30, 2014 (UNAUDITED)

* Includes third-party financing proceeds designated specifically for use in new marketing ventures, and not for general purposes or payables.

** Accounts Receivable includes the gross contract values for fully-accepted, credit-worthy international presale agreements ($2,500,000), for which the net amount payable to producers / licensors is expensed on the liability detail. Company has retained previously recognized international presales and coproduction contracts, but has intentionally withheld recognition of new contracts and presales obtained during or after the Cannes Festival and Market, so that these revenues may be recognized at a later date, likely upon delivery of the subject films.

HANNOVER HOUSE, INC.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

JUNE 30, 2014 (UNAUDITED)

* Total Liabilities includes self-liquidating (self-funding) revenues from international presales and co-production incentives, which collectively represent $2,441,400.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that relate to future events or our future financial performance. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are subject to a number of uncertainties and risks including the Risk Factors identified in our Quarterly Form 10-Q for the three-month period ending June 30, 2014. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Hannover House, Inc. is sometimes referred to herein as "we," "us," "our" and the "Company."

The nature of the issuer’s business is driven by the operating entity, Hannover House, which is a full-service producer and distributor of entertainment products (i.e., feature films for theatrical, video, television and international distribution, and a publisher of books).

Hannover House, Inc., is a Wyoming Corporation. Truman Press, Inc., d/b/a “Hannover House” is an Arkansas Corporation.

Hannover House, Inc., f/k/a Target Development Group, Inc. (which was also formerly known as "Mindset Interactive Corp.") was registered as a corporation in Wyoming on January 29, 2009. Truman Press, Inc., d/b/a “Hannover House” was registered as a corporation in California on September 15, 1993, and re-registered in Arkansas effective June 2008. The Ecklan Corporation, registered on March 25, 1998, in the State of Texas, was the predecessor entity to Target Development Group, Inc.

The Company, Hannover House, Inc., as well as Truman Press, Inc., d/b/a “Hannover House” each have an effective fiscal year-end date of December 31.

Neither the Company, Hannover House, Inc., nor the operating entity, Truman Press, Inc., d/b/a “Hannover House” have ever been in bankruptcy. To the best of management’s knowledge, no predecessor entity has ever been in bankruptcy.

Effective January 1, 2010, Target Development Group, Inc., acquired all of the shares of Truman Press, Inc., d/b/a “Hannover House” in a stock-swap agreement. The details of this acquisition venture are described in detail within the information statement posted on the OTC Markets Disclosure Statement of December 14, 2009.

Over the past four years, the Company has defaulted on several loan or credit obligations, but none representing a material event to the Company or falling outside of the ordinary course of business. As previously disclosed through the Company's filings with the OTC Markets, the Company had incurred debt relating to the theatrical releasing costs of the film "Twelve" (debt obligations were accrued with Andersons, AOL, Bedrock Ventures, 42 West, Technicolor, Tribune Ent. and others). As of December 31, 2013 the Company had reduced the cumulative total of the outstanding debt balances for this film from an original gross of $4.2-million (inclusive of obligations to the production company / licensor), down to less than $850,000 as of this reporting period. Other significant obligations of the Company include "P&A" for the release of the film, "Hounddog" (Weinreb loan), "P&A" for the release of "All's Faire In Love" (NBCal Loan), producer / licensor obligations to Interstar Releasing, Fantastic Films and E.E. Smith, all of which are itemized or otherwise included within the Company's financials.

As of 6-30-2014, there were no further changes of “control”.

As of 6-30-2014, there were no increases of 10% or more of the same class of outstanding equity securities.

During the quarterly reporting period ending 6-30-2014, the Company did not issue any new shares.

The Company has not experienced any delisting of the issuer’s securities. As of the 6-30-2014, there were no current, past, pending or threatened legal proceedings or administrative actions that could have a material effect on the issuer’s business, financial condition or operations other than those items specifically described hereunder or otherwise disclosed in OTC Markets Filings. As of 6-30-2014 and remaining true through the date of this filing, there were no past or pending trading suspensions by a securities regulator. The legal proceedings, whether past, pending or threatened, all fall under the guidelines of being within the ordinary course of business, and are disclosed in detail in this filing or incorporated within previously filed disclosures with the OTC Markets.

Business of Issuer -- The SIC Codes most closely conforming to the Company’s business activities are: 7822 (Services – Motion Picture & Video Tape Distribution) and 2731 (Books: Publishing). The Company is currently operating. At no time has the Company ever been a “shell company” as defined in the guidelines.

Through the operating entity of “Hannover House,” the Company is actively involved with the production, acquisition and distribution of entertainment products into the USA and Canadian markets, including theatrical films, home video releases, rights licenses of films and videos to Video-On-Demand platforms and television, as well as book publishing (including printed editions and electronic “E-Book” formats).

FILMS & VIDEOS – Most of the film and video titles that are distributed by the Company are “acquired” or otherwise licensed from third-party suppliers, often production companies or media companies seeking to expand their income and market reach through a relationship with Hannover House. Some of the properties distributed by the Company are “sales agency” ventures, in which the Company performs certain sales & marketing functions on behalf of the owners of the properties, as opposed to having the Company actually purchase or otherwise license rights into the property. Historically, most of the titles sold by the Company were under such “sales agency” ventures. However, beginning in 2010 with the merger of Hannover House and Target Development Group, Inc., the Company began moving away from “sales agency” ventures and pursuing actual rights-licensing / acquisition structures for new titles. Beginning in 2013, the Company began exploring options to finance higher-profile films through private equity, international presales, co-production ventures, tax structures and other financing tools. The goal of the Company’s activities in developing and producing higher profile films is to dramatically increase the Company’s revenues and balance sheet without unreasonably encumbering cash or debt resources.

BOOKS / E-BOOKS – The Company remains active in the acquisition and licensing of publishing rights to printed books and e-Books. The gross margins earned by the Company in the release of Books are generally much higher than the margins derived from the release of Film and Video properties; however, the upside revenue potential for books is usually not as high as the potential for Films. So the Company seeks to maintain a balance in its release slate of high-margin book properties, with high-revenue Film and Video properties.

The use of the term "Company" refers to the combined entities, as reported on a consolidated basis, of Hannover House, Inc., Truman Press, Inc., d/b/a “Hannover House” and Bookworks, Inc. (a special purpose entity utilized for Screen Actors Guild activities and productions). Each of the corporate entities files separate income tax returns with the federal government and respective states of registration; however, financial statements and reports, as of January 1, 2010, refer to the combined and consolidated results of all entities. Hannover House, Inc. is the publicly-traded entity for all operating divisions. Truman Press, Inc., d/b/a “Hannover House” is the operating and releasing division entity for all consumer products. Bookworks, Inc., is a special purpose entity established for the servicing of book and publishing ventures, and more recently, used for Screen Actors Guild productions.

As of 6-30-2014 and remaining true through the date of this filing, the Company does not foresee any probable or existing governmental regulations as having an adverse or material impact to the operations.

During calendar year 2009 (and specifically limited to activities for Truman Press, Inc., d/b/a “Hannover House”), the Company invested approximately $15,000 on activities that could be characterized as ‘research and development.’ During the calendar year of 2010, and under the consolidated reporting of all entities, the Company invested approximately $20,000 on projects and activities that could be characterized as ‘research and development.’ During the calendar year of 2011 and under consolidated reporting of all entities, the Company invested approximately $166,000 on projects and activities that could be characterized as ‘research and development.’ (specifically, the production of feature film / video products). During 2012, the Company invested approximately $287,114 on production projects / R&D assignable; during 2013, the Company made no new investments in production or activities that would be R&D assignable.

The Company has not incurred any non-negligible costs relating to compliance with environmental laws, whether to federal, state or local.

As of 6-30-2014, the Company had 7 full-time employees.

The nature of products and services offered:

The nature and extent of the issuer’s facilities include a primary office and warehouse combo unit (under lease from Elder Properties, Springdale, AR), comprising approximately 6,000 square feet.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Investment in the Company's Stock bears similar risks as may exist with other stocks trading on the OTC Markets board. The trading price for Company's Stock Shares can vary significantly based upon a variety of factors unrelated to the Company's actual value or revenue achievements. On an accrual basis, the Company is generating profits each quarter, with regular DVD and Blu-Ray product sales supplemented with long-term receivables for Subscription Video-On-Demand and Television sales. However, on a cash-flow basis, the Company's cash resources are often strained by immediate and long-term debt obligations. Some investors and shareholders have expressed discomfort with the Company's persistently tight cash position, which has been the result of balancing ongoing operational needs with debt management and new release activities against product cash flows. Conversely, many shareholders have also expressed resistance to the concept of issuing equity shares under "debt conversion" structures, which would relieve much of the cash-flow burdens but would result in a dilution of shareholder equity. Accordingly, management has worked to find the best balance of maximizing shareholder value and return, while minimizing equity dilution activities. There can be no assurance that ongoing cash flow from product sales will, by itself, be sufficient to meet the Company's combined operational, debt-management and growth needs. To address the Company's cash position, management has initiated an agreement with an Accounts Receivable-based lender, to accelerate cash flow from current product sales and thus facilitate faster growth into new areas (such as the Company's "VODwiz.com" streaming venture), as well as to provide working capital to enable the Company's Film and Television Rights Library to be more efficiently exploited.

While there are no material threats at present to the Company's ongoing viability, there can be no assurance that the majority of long-term creditors will continue to comply with debt reduction and installment payment agreements. And while the Company continues to generate DVD and Blu-Ray sales to major retailers (and Video-On-Demand contracts through the major VOD portals), there can be no assurance that current and past sales performance will continue into the future. The remedies available to the Company for continued viability and growth are revenues from product sales and licenses, credit arrangements (both with lenders and suppliers) and stock-equity opportunities (ranging from shelf-registration of new shares to "debt-conversion" ventures to alleviate the cash-flow burden from older, qualifying payables). Investment in the Company's Stock Shares bears significant risks, as well as significant upside potential. The "Price-Earnings Ratio" for publicly-traded entertainment stocks in the Company's area of activity results in an average P/E rate of 22-times. The current P/E ratio for Company's s(Hannover House's) is 3.7, suggesting that the shares are currently trading at a price that is undervalued by a factor of approximately 5-times when compared to the industry average.

Trading volume in Company's stock is averages approximately 1,243,400 shares per day, suggesting that investments in the Company's stock may not be as easily or quickly resold as some other stock offerings.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures - Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These rules refer to the controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of June 30, 2014, the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and President of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such controls and procedures continued to be effective as of June 30, 2014.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, also evaluated whether any changes occurred to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such control. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during the period covered by this report.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

As of June 30, 2014, the Company was not involved in any open or non-adjudicated litigation matters.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than as set forth in this FORM 10-Q filing, there are no specific risk factors relating to the Company's securities that are not universally applicable to other equities trading on the OTC Markets.

Key Man / Principals - The Company is reliant upon the continued employment and work performance of the two, principal managers, Eric Parkinson (CEO) and D. Frederick Shefte (President). As an accommodation to benefit the Company's cash flow, both Parkinson and Shefte have been deferring a majority of their salaries. Additionally, as has been required by many third-party program suppliers, Parkinson has often been listed as a "key man" to the rights licenses or sales venture agreements for specific acquisitions, due to his successful home video sales track record.

The cessation of employment by either Parkinson or Shefte for any reason could have a material and negative impact on the Company, as current cash flows would not facilitate the hiring of comparably qualified executives, and the loss of Parkinson as "key man" could result in multiple title agreement cancellations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Not applicable to Issuer.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

Not applicable to Issuer.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Not applicable to Issuer.

Item 5. Other Information.
