General
We are a distributor of paper products that are derived from non-wood sources. Our third party contract manufacturers’use of agricultural residuals, namely bagasse (derived from sugar cane) and bamboo, as opposed to wood products, significantly reduces its manufacturing carbon footprint, energy consumption, and attendant water pollution during the manufacture of its products. This allows us to offer our unique, exclusive, tree-free paper products at price-parity equal to or less than current recycled fiber products already on the market. Our products are unique and we believe offer an ideal solution for those consumers (both corporate and individual) seeking to meet their sustainability mandates or personal environmentally conscious goals, at a price that is equal to or less than current recycled products.
At the end of our fiscal year, the Company had minimal operations pending significant restructuring. Consistent with our minimal operations was the resignation of all management and the Board of Directors (Board) except Clifton Kuok Wai Leung our Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Our company is now focusing on funding, combinations and acquisition opportunities.
On July 16, 2014 the Company entered into an agreement to acquire City of Industry, California based SWC Group, Inc., a California Corporation, which does business as CarryOutSupplies.com (CarryOut), which was pending, but not limited to, the Company performing due diligence and executing a final Acquisition and Share Exchange Agreement (“Pending Acquisition”). The Board of Directors of the Company ratified such documents on October 26, 2014. CarryOut is a producer and wholesaler of custom printing and generic paper products to more than 2,000 takeout restaurant establishments, see www.carryoutsupplies.com. CarryOut had revenues of approximately $9,000,000 for calendar 2013.
Effective October 26, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company executed the final Acquisition and Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) ratifying the Pending Acquisition. Under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement the Company will issue Thirty Five Million (35,000,000) common shares of the Company to the holders of CarryOut in exchange for all of the outstanding shares in CarryOut. The number of Company shares exchanged shall be modified to Forty Million (40,000,000) shares Thirty (30) days after the effective date of this Share Exchange Agreement should CarryOut demonstrate revenues for the three (3) month period ending June 30, 2014 did not fall below a level equal to 70% of the revenues for the three (3) month period ending June 30, 2013. The number of shares exchanged shall be modified to Seventy One Million (71,000,000) Seventy Five (75) days after the effective date of this Share Exchange Agreement should CarryOut demonstrate revenues for the three (3) month period ending September 30, 2014 did not fall below a level equal to 70% of the revenues for the three (3) month period ending September 30, 2013.

Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis is intended as a review of significant factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes presented herein. In addition to historical information, the following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed in this annual report.
Overview and Financial Condition
Discussions with respect to our Company’s operations included herein refer to our operating subsidiary, Sugarmade –CA. Our Company purchased Sugarmade-CA on May 9, 2011. We have no operations other than those of Sugarmade-CA. Information with respect to our Company’s nominal operations prior to the Sugarmade Acquisition is not included herein.
Results of Operations
Our company reduced its net loss by $2,056,637 to $2,264,770 from $4,321,407 for the year ended June 30, 2013 compared to June 30, 2012. The decrease in net loss compared to the prior year period is to due to the following:
Revenue
Our revenue, net for the year ended June 30, 2013 was $241,398 compared to $141,750 for the year ended June 30, 2012 due to the addition of new customers in the current fiscal year.
Cost of Goods Sold
Total cost of goods sold decreased $50,111 from $307,671 for the year ended June 30, 2012 to $257,560 for the year ended June 30, 2013. Cost of goods sold consists of two parts: materials and freight costs and provision for inventory obsolescence.
Materials and freight costs for the year ended June 30, 2013 was $188,109 compared to $111,791 for the same period one year ago. The material and freight costs for the year ended June 30, 2013 was in line with the increase in revenues in the current fiscal year.
Cost of goods sold in fiscal 2012 includes a provision for inventory obsolescence totaling $195,880 resulting from inventory quality issues we discovered during the three months ended June 30, 2012. It was our management’s assessment that based on a thorough review of the inventory and the extent of the quality issues discovered, our Company’s inventory was materially impaired. Upon further analysis and estimations of our inventory’s future marketability, we recorded a charge for inventory obsolescence. For the year ended June 30, 2013, the cost of goods sold also reflected a charge for inventory obsolescence totaling $69,451 for the anticipated loss from discounted sales of slow moving inventory.
Gross Margin
-7- |
Gross margin was a negative $16,162 for the year ended June 30, 2013 compared to a negative margin of $165,921 for the year ended June 30, 2012. The overall negative gross margin for both years resulted from the provision for inventory discussed above. We had a positive gross margin from sales before our provision for inventory obsolescence in both fiscal 2013 and 2012.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses totaled $1,784,490 and $3,817,320 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Included in these expenses were payroll and related expenses of $1,049,087 and $1,255,462 during the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Included in our payroll and related expenses are charges for share based compensation totaling $149,692 for the year ended June 30, 2013 and $204,404 for the year ended June 30, 2012. Consulting expenses totaled $206,929 and $1,880,747 during the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as we released some of our professional consultants in fiscal 2013 in order to reduce spending and ameliorate our liquidity issues. Included in consulting expenses are noncash charges for the issuance of common stock for services totaling $98,383 and $1,633,900 as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Legal and auditing expenses totaled $85,298 during the year ended June 30, 2013 and $104,783 as of June 30, 2012.
Amortization of License and Supply Agreement
We recognized amortization of our license and supply agreement with Sugar Cane Paper Company (SCPC) totaling $nil and $18,403 during the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The amortization represented the recognition of the cost of the SCPC agreement over its initial twenty year term on a straight line basis. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, our management determined the value of the license and supply agreement with SCPC had been impaired as a result of changes in our manufacturing processes, enhancements to our product formulation and the limitations on our production credit facility. During the year ended June 30, 2012, our company diversified our manufacturing and process management options to include other third party contract manufacturers. Additionally, we developed a new formulation for the tree-free pulp, which has improved our overall paper quality. Finally, we have been working to secure additional credit options to allow us to produce paper for inventory purposes and for sale to distribution partners. Based on this assessment, the fair value of the remaining intangible asset was deemed negligible and as such the entire intangible asset totaling $318,983 was charged to operations during the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Interest Expense and Interest Income
Interest expense totaled $646,566 for the year ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $2,156 for the year ended June 30, 2012. Interest expense in fiscal 2013 resulted from expenses incurred in connection with $186,000 of promissory notes payable and $525,000 of convertible notes payable from related and third parties. Interest expense in 2012 was primarily the result of expenses incurred in connection with a note payable to a bank with an outstanding balance totaling $150,000 from December 2011 through June 20, 2012. Interest income totaled $487 and $1,376 during the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability
During the year ended June 30, 2013, we had a change in fair value of derivative liability of $181,961, compared to $nil for the year ended June 30, 2012, with the significant difference primarily related to the addition of $525,000 convertible promissory notes from related and third parties as well as the change in the fair value of our common stock during the year ended June 30, 2013.
Net Loss
Net loss totaled $2,264,770 and $4,321,407 during the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net noncash amounts included in our net loss in both years were $673,936 and $2,374,401, respectively. Non-cash amounts reflected primarily issuances of warrants with convertible notes, fair value change in derivative liability, and share based compensation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-8- |
We have primarily financed our operations through the sale of unregistered equity, warrants and convertible notes payable. As of June 30, 2013, our Company had cash totaling $159,381 current assets totaling $380,942 and total assets of $388,946. We had total liabilities of $2,466,409 (all current) and negative working capital of $1,234,015. Stockholders’ equity reflected a deficit of $2,077,463.
Net cash used by operating activities was $1,017,719 for the year ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $1,194,515 from the comparable figure of $2,212,234 for the year ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in net cash used by operating activities was related to cutback in operating expenses and increase in payables and accrued expenses.
Net cash flows from investing activities for year ended June 30, 2012 resulted from equipment and furniture purchases totaling $6,868. We had no net cash flows from investing activities for the year ended June 30, 2013.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $985,000 for the year ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $804,438 for the year ended June 30, 2012. The net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2013 was primarily attributed to the proceeds from promissory notes, convertible debts, and borrowings from the line of credit with SCPC. For the year ended June 30, 2012, net cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to proceeds from the sales of our common stock and cash provided from a note payable with our bank.
Our capital requirements going forward will consist of financing our operations until we are able to reach a level of revenues and gross margins adequate to equal or exceed our ongoing operating expenses. Other than the production credit facility with our suppliers and borrowings from related and third parties, we do not have any credit agreement or source of liquidity immediately available to us.
Given estimates of our Company’s future operating results and our credit arrangements with our suppliers, we are currently forecasting that we will need to secure additional financing to obtain adequate financial resources to reach profitability. As of the date of this report, we estimate that the cash necessary to implement our current business plan for the next twelve months is approximately $1,000,000. As of the date of this report, we had a cash balance of approximately $159,381. However, we cannot provide any assurances that the cash required to implement our current plan will not exceed our estimated amount of $1,000,000, or that we can achieve profitability with the estimated amounts we determined above, or that we will ever achieve profitability.
Based on our need to raise additional funds to implement our business plans for the next twelve months, we have included a discussion concerning the presentation of our consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis in the notes to our financial statements and our independent public accountants have included a similar discussion in their opinion on our financial statements through June 30, 2013. We will be required in the near future to issue debt or sell our Company’s equity securities in order to raise additional cash, although there are no arrangements in place for any such financing at this time. We cannot provide any assurances as to whether we will be able to secure the necessary financing, or the terms of any such financing transaction if one were to occur. The failure to secure such financing could severely curtail our plans for future growth or in more severe scenarios, the continued operations of our Company.
Critical Accounting Policies Involving Management Estimates and Assumptions
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
-9- |
We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) No. 605, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when we have evidence of an arrangement, a determinable fee, and when collection is considered to be probable and products are delivered. This generally occurs upon shipment of the merchandise, which is when legal transfer of title occurs. In the event that final acceptance of our product by the customer is uncertain, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. We currently have a consignment arrangement with one of our customers. We record revenue on consignment goods when the consigned goods are sold by the consignee and all other above mentioned revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Cash received in connection with the sales of our products prior to their being recognized as revenue is recorded as deferred revenue.
Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods paper and paper-based products ready for sale and is stated at the lower of cost or market. We value inventories using the weighted average costing method. We regularly review inventory and consider forecasts of future demand, market conditions and product obsolescence. If the estimated realizable value of our inventory is less than cost, we make provisions in order to reduce its carrying value to its estimated market value. As noted above, during fiscal 2013, our Company became aware of slow moving inventory that has been held at various stores. To prevent overstocking of old inventory, management decide to sell the slow moving inventory at a sales price below cost and proposed a reserve amount for the expected loss from the discounted sales. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, our Company became aware of quality issues surrounding its copy paper products. As a result of these quality issues, our Company determined the inventory value was impaired and recorded a reserve for inventory obsolescence totaling $195,880 at June 30, 2012.
Valuation of Long-lived Assets
We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, we compare the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. For the year ended June 30, 2012, it was determined that our Company’s intangible assets value were impaired resulting in the complete write-down of the intangible asset. As a result of the write-down, our Company recorded a charge totaling $318,983 which is included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2012. For the year ended June 30, 2013, our Company had no impairment expense related to our long-lived assets.
Derivative Instruments
The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations under non-operating income (expense).
Our Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Refer to note 6 for details.
Stock Based Compensation
Stock based compensation cost is measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the stock-based award, and will be recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award). We estimate the fair value of employee stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing Model. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options will include the exercise price of the award, the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant, the expected option term, the risk free interest rate at the date of grant, the expected volatility and the expected annual dividend yield on our common stock.
Net Loss Per Share
-10- |
We calculate basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing our net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without considering common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income or net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents, such as options and warrants. Options and warrants are only included in the calculation of diluted EPS when their effect is dilutive.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sugarmade, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that we considered appropriate under the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Sugarmade, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring operating losses and negative cash flow since inception and has financed its working capital requirements through issuance of common stock and convertible notes payable from related and third parties. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | Summary of significant accounting policies |
Nature of business
Sugarmade, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “us” or “the/our Company”) is a publicly traded company incorporated in the state of Delaware. Our previous legal name was Diversified Opportunities, Inc. Our Company, Sugarmade, Inc. operates through our subsidiary, Sugarmade, Inc., a California corporation (“Sugarmade-CA”). Our Company is principally engaged in the business of marketing and distributing environmentally friendly non-tree-based paper products. We are parties to an Exclusive License and Supply Agreement (“LSA”) with Sugar Cane Paper Company (“SCPC”), a company located in the People’s Republic of China. SCPC and their contract suppliers produce our products and is a holder of intellectual property rights and patents in the area of developing and manufacturing paper from non-wood sources. We also obtained the rights (within the designated territories) to the Sugarmade brand name and trademarks. Sugarmade-CA’s primary product is 100% tree-free copy paper in various sizes, however our Company plans to offer other tree-free paper products in the near future.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as promulgated in the United States of America.
Principles of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sugarmade-CA. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Going concern
The Company sustained continued operating losses during the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, in which it has not been successful, and/or obtaining additional financing from its shareholders or other sources, as may be required.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management is endeavoring to increase revenue generating operations. While priority is on generating cash from operations through the sale of the Company’s products, management is also seeking to raise additional working capital through various financing sources, including the sale of the Company’s equity and/or debt securities, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue our business as desired and our operating results will be adversely affected. In addition, any financing arrangement may have potentially adverse effects on us and/or our stockholders. Debt financing (if available and undertaken) will increase expenses, must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting our operating flexibility. If we issue equity securities to raise additional funds, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the current holders of our common stock.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
-17- |
Revenue recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) No. 605, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when we have evidence of an arrangement, a determinable fee, and when collection is considered to be probable and products are delivered. This generally occurs upon shipment of the merchandise, which is when legal transfer of title occurs. In the event that final acceptance of our product by the customer is uncertain, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. We currently have a consignment arrangement with two of our customers. We record revenue on consignment goods when the consigned goods are sold by the consignee and all other above mentioned revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Cash received in connection with the sales of our products prior to their being recognized as revenue is recorded as deferred revenue.
Revenue is recognized on the sale of a product when the product is shipped, which is when the risk of loss transfers to our customers, and collection of the sale is reasonably assured. A product is not shipped without an order from the customer and the completion of credit acceptance procedures. Accounts receivable are reviewed periodically for collectability. Balances outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to trade accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, we maintained allowances for bad debts of $28,000 and $1,220, respectively.
Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of amounts held as bank deposits and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company had no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2013 and 2012.
From time to time, we may maintain bank balances in interest bearing accounts in excess of the $250,000 currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for interest bearing accounts (through December 31, 2012 there is no insurance limit for deposits in noninterest bearing accounts). We have not experienced any losses with respect to cash. Management believes our Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts, net of any estimated allowances for doubtful accounts. We grant unsecured credit to our customers deemed credit worthy. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed and potential credit losses estimated by management are charged to operations on a regular basis. At the time any particular account receivable is deemed uncollectible, the balance is charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts. Since we cannot necessarily predict future changes in the financial stability of our customers, we cannot guarantee that our allowance for doubtful accounts will be adequate.
From time to time, we may have a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due. Any unanticipated change in a customer’s creditworthiness could have a material effect on our results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occurred. Gross accounts receivable at June 30, 2013 totaled $42,249 while our allowance for doubtful accounts was $28,000. As of June 30, 2012, our Company had accounts receivable of $18,700 with an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,220.
Equipment
Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Items of equipment with costs greater than $1,500 are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3-7 years.
Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods paper and paper-based products ready for sale and is stated at the lower of cost or market. We value inventories using the weighted average costing method. Our Company’s policy is to include as
-18- |
a part of inventory any freight incurred to ship the product from our contract manufactures to our warehouses. Outbound freights costs related to shipping costs to our customers are considered period costs and reflected in selling, general and administrative costs. Outbound freight costs to customers totaled $71,433 and $67,862 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We regularly review inventory and consider forecasts of future demand, market conditions and product obsolescence. If the estimated realizable value of our inventory is less than cost, we make provisions in order to reduce its carrying value to its estimated market value. As noted above, during fiscal 2013, our Company became aware of slow moving inventory that has been held at various stores. To prevent overstocking of old inventory, management decide to sell the slow moving inventory at a sales price below cost and increased the reserve for the expected loss from the discounted sales totaling $28,600 ($195,880 as of June 30, 2012).
Intangible assets
Intangible assets relate to the exclusive license and supply agreement (“LSA”) with Sugar Cane Paper Company. During the year ended June 30, 2012, we performed a review of the LSA including estimations of the likely future cash flows to be derived from the LSA. Upon completing the review, it was management’s assessment that due to changes in our Company’s manufacturing process, enhancements to the product formulation and the limitations on the credit facility, the fair value of the intangible asset had been impaired to the level that the asset has negligible remaining value. As such, our Company recorded a write down totaling $318,983 for the remaining value of the license and supply agreement as of June 30, 2012. We did not have any intangible assets as of June 30, 2013.
Valuation of long-lived assets
We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, we compare the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. For the year ended June 30, 2012, it was determined that our Company’s intangible assets value were deemed impaired resulting in the complete write-down of the intangible assets. As a result of the write-down, our Company recorded a charge to operations totaling $318,983. We have nominal long-lived assets as of June 30, 2013.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 - unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
Derivative Instruments
The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations under non-operating income (expense).
Our Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current
-19- |
based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Refer to note 6 for details.
Income taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their perspective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
As a result of the implementation of certain provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax position, as defined, ASC 740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspect of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. We adopted the provisions of ASC 740 as of October 2, 2008, and have analyzed filing positions in each of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as open tax years in these jurisdictions. We have identified the U.S. federal and California as our “major” tax jurisdictions and generally, we remain subject to Internal Revenue Service examination of our 2013 U.S. federal income tax returns. However, we have certain tax attribute carryforwards which will remain subject to review and adjustment by the relevant tax authorities until the statute of limitations closes with respect to the year in which such attributes are utilized.
We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740. In addition, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 740. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes. We have no interest or penalties as of June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Stock based compensation
We periodically issue stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. We account for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, whereas the award is measured at its fair value at the date of grant and is amortized ratably over the vesting period. We account for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with ASC Topic 505, “Equity”, whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.
Loss per share
We calculate basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing our net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without considering common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income or net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents, such as options and warrants. Options and warrants are only included in the calculation of diluted EPS when their effect is dilutive.
Concentration of risk
Customers
During fiscal year 2013 and 2012, our Company had earned net revenues of $241,398 and $141,750, respectively. A significant portion of our Company’s revenue is derived from a small number of customers. For the year ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, sales to one of our Company’s customers accounted for 69% and 72% of net sales, respectively. As our Company continues to expand its distribution relationships, we expect to see our sales dispersed among a broader number of customers.
-20- |
Suppliers
For the year ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, all of our tree free paper products were purchased from SCPC and their contract manufacturers. We are presently diversifying our manufacturing and process management options to include other third party contract manufacturers for current and future production needs.
Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements
Effective January 2013, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). The amendments in ASU 2011-11 require the disclosure of information on offsetting and related arrangements for financial and derivative instruments to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. Amendments under ASU 2011-11 will be applied retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after January 1, 2013. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-07, Presentation of Financial Statements (Top 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting. The objective of ASU No. 2013-07 is to clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting and to provide principles for the measurement of assets and liabilities under the liquidation basis of accounting, as well as any required disclosures. The amendments in this standard is effective prospectively for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. We are evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2013-07 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
2. Note Payable Due to Bank
During October 2011, we entered into a revolving demand note (line of credit) arrangement with HSBC Bank USA, with a revolving borrowing limit of $150,000. The line of credit bears a variable interest rate of one quarter percent (0.25%) above the prime rate (3.25% as of June 30, 2013). This borrowing facility is renewed annually and our Company maintains a separate HSBC demand deposit account with a balance equal to the outstanding borrowing. In the event the deposit account is not established or minimum balance maintained, HSBC can charge a higher rate of interest of up to 4.0% above prime rate. As of June 30, 2013, the loan’s interest rate was three and one half percent (3.5%) and our Company has drawn down $150,000 loan balance on the line. The note is payable on demand.
3. Production Line of Credit
As part of our agreement with SCPC for a production line of credit, SCPC has provided our Company with access to a portion of the overall credit line to allow us to purchase product for inventory purposes, without the need for customer purchase orders as a requirement to order product from its contract manufacturer. This portion production line of credit will initially be set at $300,000, bear interest at 5% interest per quarter and a 4% usage charge, and require payment 30 days after receipt of funds from our customer. The same repayment terms will remain in effect. As of June 30, 2013, the balance on the credit line totaled $274,000.
4. Convertible Note Payables
As of June 30, 2013, the Company extended to one year term for $525,000 of the convertible note payable issued between August 17, 2012 and March 31, 2013. These convertible notes would have been due prior to June 30, 2013.
Between August 17, 2012 and March 31, 2013, our Company issued a total of $525,000 in convertible promissory notes to eleven accredited investors, one of which is a member of our Board and another was a former member of our Board. The convertible promissory notes must be repaid by our Company within six months from the date of issuance; accrue interest at the rate of 14%; and are subject to conversion at the election of the investors at such time as our Company has raised a minimum of $500,000 in a subsequent equity financing. The conversion price will be the lower of 80% of the per share purchase price paid for by the new investors in the subsequent financing, or $0.50 per share. Unless these promissory notes are converted or repaid earlier, our Company must pay the note-holders the amount of the then accrued interest on the three, six, and nine month anniversaries of the issue date. As of June 30, 2013, the Company extended the maturity date of the notes to one year from the date of issuance.

In connection with the issuance of the promissory notes, the investors in the aggregate received two-year warrants to purchase up to a total of 78,750 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share, and two-year warrants to purchase up to a total of 131,250 shares of common stock at $0.01 per share. For purposes of accounting for the detachable warrants issued in connection with the convertible notes, the fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula. The value of all warrants granted at the date of issuance totaled $508,413 and was recorded as a discount to the notes payable. The amount will be amortized over the nine month term of the respective convertible note as additional interest expense.
5. Derivative Liabilities
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued a total of $525,000 14% convertible notes to twelve accredited investors. In connection with the issuance, each note holder received a two-year warrant to purchase up to a total of 131,250 shares of common stock at $0.01 per share and a two-year warrant to purchase up to a total of 78,750 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share. The Company recognized the conversion feature, the $0.01 warrant to purchase common stock and $0.50 warrant to purchase common stock were derivative liabilities. The derivative liabilities were valued using the weighted-average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model using the assumptions detailed below.

8. Stock Based Compensation
Results of operations for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 include share based compensation costs totaling $149,692 and $204,404, respectively charged to selling, general and administrative expenses. For purposes of accounting for stock based compensation, the fair value of each option and warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula. The following weighted average assumptions were used for the calculations during the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
2013 | 2012 | |
---|---|---|
Expected Term | 4.96 years | 5.09 years |
Weighted average volatility | 121.93% | 95.18% |
Forfeiture rate | 20% | 18.82% |
Risk-free interest rate | 2.02% | 2.06% |
Expected dividend rate | 0.00% | 0.00% |
The weighted average expected option and warrant term for director and employee stock options granted reflects the application of the simplified method set out in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110. The simplified method defines the life as the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted average vesting period for all options. We utilized this approach as our historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate an expected term. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our stock as well as those of a peer group. We estimated the forfeiture rate based on our expectation for future forfeitures and we currently expect substantially all options and warrants to vest. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at or near the time of grant. We have never declared or paid dividends and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.
The following is required disclosure in connection with stock options and warrants (which resulted in share based compensation charges) as of June 30, 2013: 1) weighted average exercise price - $0.81; 2) weighted average remaining contractual term vested and outstanding options 74 months, respectively; 3) aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable options and warrants - $0.00 and $0.00, respectively; 4) weighted average grant date fair value of options and warrants granted - $1.14 per share; and 5) weighted average fair value of options and warrants vested - $1.48 per share.
On September 6, 2012, our Company’s Board of Directors approved the re-pricing of options and warrants granted to employees, active consultants and board members. The re-priced options and warrants had exercise prices ranging from $1.25 to $3.73. A total of 1,245,000 options and warrants were amended to reduce the exercise price to $0.53 per share, based on the most recent closing price for our Company’s common stock, which is deemed the fair market value as of that date. The result of re-pricing was insignificant and had nominal effect on the total compensation expense as of June 30, 2013.
The exercise prices for options and warrants granted and outstanding which resulted in stock based compensation charges was as follows at June 30, 2013:
Exercise Price Range | Number of options or warrants |
$0.25 - $0.50 | 100,000 |
$0.51 – $0.75 | 1,297,000 |
$0.76 - $1.00 | - |
$1.01 - $1.25 | 624,000 |
$1.26 - $2.00 | 32,500 |
$2.01 - $3.00 | - |
$3.01 - $4.00 | 1,462 |
$4.01 above | - |
2,054,962 |

Our NOL will begin to expire in 2024 for federal and state purposes and could be limited for use under IRC Section 382. We have recorded a valuation allowance against the entire net deferred tax asset balance due because we believe there exists a substantial doubt that we will be able to realize the benefits due to our lack of a history of earnings and due to possible limitations under IRC Section 382.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. and in the state of California with varying statutes of limitations. Our policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of our provision for income taxes. There were no accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2013. All operations are in California and the Company believes it has no tax positions which could more-likely-than not be challenged by tax authorities. We have no unrecognized tax benefits and thus no interest or penalties included in the financial statements.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of June 30, 2013 and 2012:
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
NOL carryover | $ | 10,431,855 | $ | 8,140,638 | ||||
Valuation allowance | (10,431,855 | ) | (8,140,638 | ) | ||||
Net deferred tax asset | $ | — | $ | — |
The income tax provision is summarized as follows:
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
Income tax benefit at statutory rate (35% and 34%, respectively) | $ | (3,551,149 | ) | $ | (2,767,817 | ) | ||
Valuation allowance | 3,551,149 | 2,767,817 | ||||||
$ | — | $ | — |
-27- |
At June 30, 2013, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $10 million that may be offset against future taxable income through 2024. No tax benefit has been reported in the June 30, 2013 and 2012 consolidated financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax position have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740.

Effective October 22, 2013, Henry Michon resigned as a director and committee member of the Board of our Company. At the time of Michon’s resignation, he was a board member and a committee member of the Compensation Committee of our Board. We believes that Michon’s resignation was a result of a disagreement with some members of the Board regarding certain board resolutions that were passed at the September 18, 2013 board meeting, which Michon believes were self-interested transactions. We explained to Michon that each of the resolutions was unanimously approved by the disinterested directors of our Company who were present at the board meeting on September 18, 2013, and that the approved transactions remove approximately $591,071 of debt from our balance sheet. Additionally, we believe that Michon’s resignation was also caused by differences of opinion between Michon and other Board members regarding the conduct of the Board, our minimal operations and other transactions not in the ordinary course of our business.
Effective October 10, 2013, Pinto resigned as the Chairman, Director of our Board and a committee member. At the time of Pinto’s resignation, he was a member of the Spending Committee and the Finance Committee of the Board. Our Board believes that Pinto’s resignation was a result of perceived differences of philosophical opinion between Pinto and some other members of the Board regarding the conduct of the Board, our Company’s minimal operations and other transactions not in the ordinary course of its business. Pinto resigned because these differences could result in a conflict of his interest as a stockholder and his position as a Board member representing our Company.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act and for assessing the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting 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.

In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls. Based on the results of this assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2013 due to the limited size of our staff and budget.

Corporate Governance
The Company did not have sufficient and skilled accounting personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge and experience in the application of generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States of America commensurate with the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures requirements, which resulted in a number of deficiencies in disclosure controls and procedures that were identified as being significant.

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions and Director Independence
Transactions with Related Persons
Our Company reviews transactions between our Company and persons or entities considered to be related parties (collectively “related parties”). Our Company considers entities to be related parties where an executive officer, director or a 5% or more beneficial owner of our common stock (or an immediate family member of these persons) has a direct or indirect material interest. Transactions of this nature require the approval of our Board.
Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons
The following includes a summary of any transaction occurring since July 1, 2010, or any proposed transaction, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of our average total assets at year end for the two most recently completed fiscal years, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than compensation described under "Executive Compensation" above). We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm's-length transactions.
On November 27, 2012, our Company issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $100,000 to Leong, a current Director, as part of a financing involving seven accredited investors. The convertible promissory note must be repaid by our Company within 9 months from the date of issuance; accrues interest at the rate of 14%; and is convertible at the election of the note holder at such time as our Company has raised a minimum of $500,000 in equity in a subsequent equity financing, at the conversion price which is the lower of 80% of the per share purchase price paid for the securities by the investors in the subsequent financing, or $0.50 per share. Unless this promissory note is converted or repaid earlier, our Company must pay the note holder the amount of the then accrued interest on the three-month anniversary, six-month anniversary, and nine month anniversary of the issue date. In connection with the issuance of the promissory notes, Mr. Jensen received two-year warrants to purchase 3,750 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share, and two-year warrants to purchase 6,250 shares of common stock at $.01 per share.
On October 1, 2012, our Company obtained a $3 million dollar production line of credit line from Norco Sourcing (Hong Kong) Company Ltd (“Norco”). One of our directors, Leung, has an ownership interest in Norco. The line of credit will allow our Company to produce product for inventory purposes without the need for customer purchase orders as a requirement to order product from its contract manufacturer. The line of credit will bear interest at 9% per annum and require payment 60 days after shipment of the product. For the initial three to four months, the line will fund the full cost of the production, after which our Company will pay a 40% deposit for subsequent productions. Additionally, once our Company utilizes the line of credit, we will grant Norco 100,000 share of Common stock and warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Similarly, once our Company outstanding balance on the line exceeds $1,000,000 dollars, our Company will issue an additional 100,000 shares of stock and warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Finally, if our Company exceeds $2,000,000 balance on the line, our Company will again issue 100,000 shares of stock and warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.
On August 17, 2012, our Company issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $25,000 to C. James Jensen, one of our directors, as part of a financing involving seven accredited investors. The convertible promissory note must be repaid by our Company within 9 months from the date of issuance; accrues interest at the rate of 14%; and is convertible at the election of the note holder at such time as our Company has raised a minimum of $500,000 in equity in a subsequent equity financing, at the conversion price which is the lower of 80% of the per share purchase price paid for the securities by the investors in the subsequent financing, or $.50 per share. Unless this promissory note is converted or repaid earlier, our Company must pay the note holder the amount of the then accrued interest on the three month anniversary, six month anniversary, and nine month anniversary of the issue date. In connection with the issuance of the promissory notes, Jensen received two-year warrants to purchase 3,750 shares of common stock at $.50 per share, and two-year warrants to purchase 6,250 shares of common stock at $.01 per share.
Effective May 11, 2012, our Company entered into a Share Cancellation Agreement with Leung, a Director and shareholder of our Company, pursuant to which Leung agreed to the cancellation of 500,000 shares of Company common stock held by him. In consideration for the cancellation, our Company agreed to pay Leung $5,000 representing a price of $0.01 per share of common stock. Our Company accounted for this transaction as a purchase and immediate retirement of treasury shares. Effective June 30, 2012, Mr. Leung forgave the amount owed to him from the share cancellation agreement.
On January 19, 2012, our Board of Directors approved a grant of 36,000 shares of our Company’s common stock (subject to a 1 year repurchase option by our Company) to Ed Roffman, a director, for the provision of services to our Company in the areas of finance and public reporting. The shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.
