NATURALSHRIMP INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
NaturalShrimp Incorporated is a global shrimp farming company that has developed a technology to produce fresh, gourmet-grade shrimp reliably and economically in an indoor, re-circulating, saltwater facility. Our eco-friendly, bio-secure design does not rely on ocean water; it recreates the natural ocean environment allowing for high-density production which can be replicated
anywhere in the world.
Our self-contained shrimp aquiculture system allows for the production of Pacific White (Litopenaeus vannamei, formerly Penaeus vannamei) shrimp in an ecologically controlled fully contained and independent production system without the use of antibiotics or toxic chemicals.
The Company has developed several proprietary technology assets, including a knowledge base that allows the production of commercial quantities of shrimp in a closed system with a computer monitoring system that automates, monitors and maintains proper levels of oxygen, salinity and temperature for optimal shrimp production.
Our research and development facilities are located outside of San Antonio, Texas, and we hold a minority interest in a Norwegian company that owns and operates a similar shrimp production facility in Medina del Campo, Spain.
On November 26, 2014, Multiplayer Online Dragon, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“MYDR”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with NaturalShrimp Holdings, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“NSH” or the “Company”), pursuant to which MYDR was to acquire substantially all of the assets of NSH which assets consist
primarily of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of NaturalShrimp Corporation (“NSC”), a Delaware corporation, and NaturalShrimp Global, Inc. (“NS Global”), a Delaware corporation, and certain real property located outside of San Antonio, Texas (the “Assets”).
On January 30, 2015, MYDR consummated the acquisition of the Assets pursuant to the Agreement. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, MYDR effected a 1 for 10 reverse stock split, decreasing the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock from 97,000,000 to 9,700,000 and MYDR issued 75,520,240 shares of its common stock to NSH as consideration for the Assets.
As a result of the transaction, NSH acquired 88.62% of MYDR’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, NSC and NS Global became MYDR’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, and MYDR changed its principal business to a global shrimp farming company. All per share amounts reflected hereafter give effect to the 1-for-10 reverse split.
As a result of the controlling financial interest of the former stockholders of NSH, for financial statement reporting purposes, the asset acquisition has been treated as a reverse acquisition with NSH deemed the accounting acquirer and the Company deemed the accounting acquiree under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805-10-55 of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The reverse acquisition is deemed a capital transaction and the net assets of NSH (the accounting acquirer) are carried forward to the Company (the legal acquirer and the reporting entity) at their carrying value before the acquisition. The acquisition process utilizes the capital structure of the Company and the assets and liabilities of NSH which are recorded at their historical cost. The equity of the Company is the historical equity
of NSH.
In connection with MYDR’s receipt of approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), effective March 3, 2015, MYDR amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to “NaturalShrimp Incorporated” (the “Company”).
The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries including NaturalShrimp Corporation and NaturalShrimp Global, Inc.
As used in this report and unless otherwise indicated, the term “Company” refers to NaturalShrimp Incorporated and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Subsidiaries”). Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars.

Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted.
However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been made. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2016 (including
the notes thereto) set forth on Form 10-K. The Company uses as guidance Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).
Significant Accounting Policies
For reference to a complete list of significant accounting policies, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2016 (including the notes thereto) set forth on Form 10-K.
During the period ended June 30, 2016, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the three months ended June
30, 2016, the Company incurred losses from operations of $270,445. At June 30, 2016, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $29,112,536 and a working capital deficit of $5,320,800. These matters raise substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise the required additional capital or debt financing to meet short and long-term operating requirements. During the three months ended June 30, 2016,
the Company received net cash proceeds of $143,497 from the additional issuance of debt from a related party. Management believes that private placements of equity capital and/or additional debt financing will be needed to fund the Company’s long-term operating requirements. The Company may also encounter business endeavors that require significant cash commitments or unanticipated problems or expenses that could result in a requirement for additional cash. If the Company raises additional funds through
the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the Company’s common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and
materially restrict our operations. The Company is continuing to pursue external financing alternatives to improve its working capital position. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may have to cease operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – SHORT-TERM DEBT AND LINES OF CREDIT
On November 3, 2015 the Company entered into a short-term note agreement with Community National Bank for a total value of $50,000. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has drawn $50,000 on this short-term note.

short-term note is guaranteed by an officer and director. The balance of the line of credit at June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016 was $50,000.
The Company has a working capital line of credit with Community National Bank. On August 28, 2013, the Company renewed the line of credit for $30,000.

Interest expense on the note was $750 and $750 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015,
respectively. At June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, accrued interest payable was $ 1,537 and $1,543 respectively.
Beginning in 2010, the Company started entering into several working capital notes payable with various shareholders of the Company for a total of $290,000 and bearing interest at 8%. The balance of these notes at June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016 was $30,000, and is classified as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016,
accrued interest payable was $900 and $800, respectively.
NOTE 7 – FEDERAL INCOME TAX
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740-10, which provides for an asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences, using currently enacted tax laws, attributed to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts calculated for income tax purposes.
9
For the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred net operating losses and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any deferred tax assets.
Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of losses, management believes it is more likely than not that any net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively.
In accordance with ASC 740, the Company has evaluated its tax positions and determined that there are no uncertain tax positions.
NOTE 8 – CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains cash balances at one financial institution. Accounts at this institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. As of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the Company’s cash balance did not exceed FDIC coverage.
NOTE 9 – REVERSE ACQUISITION
On November 26, 2014, Multiplayer Online Dragon, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“MYDR”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with NaturalShrimp Holdings, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“NSH”), pursuant to which MYDR was to acquire substantially all of the assets of NSH which assets consist primarily of all of the issued
and outstanding shares of capital stock of NaturalShrimp Corporation (“NSC”), a Delaware corporation, and NaturalShrimp Global, Inc. (“NS Global”), a Delaware corporation, and certain real property located outside of San Antonio, Texas (the “Assets”).
On January 30, 2015, MYDR consummated the acquisition of the Assets pursuant to the Agreement. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the MYDR issued 75,520,240 shares of its common stock to NSH as consideration for the Assets. As a result of the transaction, NSH acquired 88.62% of MYDR’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, NSC and NS Global became
MYDR’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, and MYDR changed its principal business to a global shrimp farming company.
There were no material relationships between the MYDR and NSH or between the Company’s or NSH’s respective affiliates, directors, or officers or associates thereof, other than in respect of the Agreement. Effective March 3, 2015, MYDR amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to “NaturalShrimp Incorporated”.
The Company evaluated this transactions using ASC 805-40 “Business Combinations Reverse Acquisitions”. Due to the change in control of the Company, this transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in accordance with ASC No. 805-40 whereby NSH was considered the accounting acquirer.

Corporate Overview
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 3, 2008 under the name “Multiplayer Online Dragon, Inc.” Effective November 5, 2010, we effected an 8 for 1 forward stock split, increasing the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock from 12,000,000 shares to 96,000,000 shares. On October 29, 2014, we effected a 1 for 10 reverse stock split, decreasing
the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock from 97,000,000 to 9,700,000.
On November 26, 2014, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with NaturalShrimp Holdings, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“NSH”), pursuant to which we agreed to acquire substantially all of the assets of NSH which assets consisted primarily of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of NaturalShrimp Corporation
(“NSC”), a Delaware corporation, and NaturalShrimp Global, Inc. (“NS Global”), a Delaware corporation, and certain real property located outside of San Antonio, Texas (the “Assets”).
On January 30, 2015, we consummated the acquisition of the Assets pursuant to the Agreement. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, we issued 75,520,240 shares of our common stock to NSH as consideration for the Assets. As a result of the transaction, NSH acquired 88.62% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, NSC and NS Global became our wholly-owned
subsidiaries, and we changed our principal business to a global shrimp farming company.
In connection with our receipt of approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), effective March 3, 2015, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to “NaturalShrimp Incorporated”.
We are a biotechnology company and have developed a proprietary technology that allows us to grow Pacific White shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei, formerly Penaeus vannamei) in an ecologically controlled, high-density, low-cost environment, and in fully contained and independent production facilities. Our system uses technology which allows us to produce a naturally-grown shrimp
“crop” weekly, and accomplishes this without the use of antibiotics or toxic chemicals. We have developed several proprietary technology assets, including a knowledge base that allows us to produce commercial quantities of shrimp in a closed system with a computer monitoring system that automates, monitors and maintains proper levels of oxygen, salinity and temperature for optimal shrimp production. Our initial production facility is located outside of San Antonio, Texas.
NS Global, a wholly owned subsidiary of NaturalShrimp Incorporated., owns 10% of NaturalShrimp International A.S. in Europe. Our European-based partner, NaturalShrimp International A.S., Oslo, Norway is responsible for the construction cost of their facility and initial operating capital.
The first facility built in Spain for NaturalShrimp International A.S. is GambaNatural de España, S.L. The land for the first facility was purchased in Medina del Campo, Spain and construction of the 75,000 sq. ft. facility and was completed in 2015. Medina del Campo is approximately seventy-five miles northwest of Madrid, Spain.
On June 15, 2015, we announced the expansion of our indoor shrimp operations. Since that time, we have continued to develop our indoor shrimp production system and expect to begin commercial shrimp sales in late 2016. Wholesale prices for the shrimp produced by the Company are expected to be between $9.00 to $12.00 per pound F.O.B, based on discussion with interested buyers.
On October 16, 2015, we formed Natural Aquatic Systems, Inc. (“NAS”). The purpose of the NAS is to formalize the business relationship between NaturalShrimp Incorporated and F&T Water Solutions LLC for the joint development of certain water technologies. The technologies shall include, but are not limited to, any and all inventions, patents, intellectual
property and know-how dealing with enclosed aquatic production systems worldwide. This includes construction, operation, and management of enclosed aquatic production, other than shrimp, facilities throughout the world, co-developed by both parties at our facility located outside of La Coste, Texas.

Operating expenses decreased $314,994 from $544,122 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to $229,128 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of 58%. The primary reason for the change is the decrease in professional fees and the decrease in other general and administrative expenses associated with the reverse acquisition transaction in comparison to the
current period.
Liquidity, Financial Condition and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $3,700 and a working capital deficiency of $5,320,800, as compared to cash equivalents on hand of $6,158 and a working capital deficiency of $4,836,356 as of March 31, 2016. The increase in working capital deficiency is mainly due to an increase in accounts payable for the period ended March 31, 2016.

The decrease in current assets is mainly due to a decrease of in cash and equivalents. The increase in current liabilities is primarily due to increase in accounts payable, related party accrued interest, short-term promissory note and line of credit and notes payable related party. Management is attempting raise more capital in order to increase the Company’s cash
position and pay down current liabilities.

Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents |
$(2,458) |
$(4,362) |
The decrease in net cash used in operating activities in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in June 30 2015, mainly relates to a decrease in operating expenses. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities is mainly due to a decrease in cash flows from financing activities, namely proceeds from sale of common stock in the previous
period reduced by issuance of debt from a related party in the current period.
Given our cash position of approximately $3,700 as of June 30, 2016, management believes that our cash on hand and working capital are not sufficient to meet our current anticipated cash requirements through 2016.
13
Notes Payable-Related party
On January 1, 2016 the Company entered into a notes payable agreement with NaturalShrimp Holdings, Inc., a shareholder. Between January 16, 2016 and June 29, 2016 the Company borrowed $262,352 under this agreement. The note payable has no set monthly payment or maturity date with a stated interest rate of 2%.
Going Concern
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this annual report on Form 10-Q have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has accumulated losses through the period to June 30, 2016 of $29,112,536, as well as negative cash flows from operating activities. Presently, the Company does not have sufficient
cash resources to meet its plans in the twelve months following June 30, 2016. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives in order to finance our research and development activities and general and administrative expenses. These alternatives include raising funds through public or private equity markets and either through institutional or retail investors. Although there is no
assurance that the Company will be successful with our fund raising initiatives, management believes that the Company will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors and existing shareholders.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. If the Company raises additional funds
through the issuance of equity, the percentage ownership of current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to its common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict its future plans for
developing its business and achieving commercial revenues. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may have to cease operations.
Future Financing
We will require additional funds to implement our growth strategy for our business. In addition, while we have received capital from various private placements and credit lines that have enabled us to fund our operations, these funds have been largely used to develop our processes, although additional funds are needed for other corporate operational and working capital
purposes. Therefore, we will need to raise an additional $1,700,000 to cover all of our operational expenses over the next 12 months. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing
on a timely basis should it be required, or generate significant material revenues from operations, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our financial statements included herein for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 and in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. We believe that the accounting policies below are critical for one to fully
understand and evaluate our financial condition and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Any recently issued accounting pronouncements are more fully described in Note 1 to our financial statements included herein for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 or in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2016.

Not Applicable
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation
of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act), as of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the
Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon their evaluation, our management (including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2016, based on the material weaknesses defined below:
(i) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and
(ii) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.
Our management feels the weaknesses identified above have not had any material effect on our financial results. However, we are currently reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures related to these material weaknesses and expect to implement changes in the next fiscal year, including identifying specific areas within our governance, accounting and financial reporting
processes to add adequate resources to potentially mitigate these material weaknesses.
Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal
control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Management believes that despite our material weaknesses set forth above, our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three month period ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We know of no material proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder is a party adverse to our company or our Subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to our company or our Subsidiaries.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors included in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 that was filed on July 14, 2016, in addition to other information contained in those reports and in this quarterly report
