V MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND LIQUIDITY
V Media Corp., (“the Company”), originally known as Golden Key International Inc., and then China New Media Corp., is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1999.
Effective July 17, 2012, the Company changed its name from China New Media Corp. to V Media Corporation through a short form merger pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware by merging a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation in the merger. The Company, along with its subsidiaries and VIEs, is engaged in the sale, construction and operations of outdoor advertising displays and other alternative media business. The Company is headquartered in Dalian, the commercial center of Northeastern China and has subsidiaries in Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 filed with the SEC on September 27, 2013. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 may not be necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and VIEs. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and VIEs are eliminated upon consolidation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically funded our working capital needs from operations, advance payments from customers, bank borrowings, and capital from shareholders. Presently, our principal sources of liquidity are generated from our operations and loans from commercial banks and capital leases. Our working capital requirements are influenced by the level of our operations, the numerical and dollar volume of our sales contracts, the progress of our contract execution, and the timing of accounts receivable collections.
V MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing resources, including cash generated from operations, bank loans and bank notes payable and advances from customers will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for our current operations over the next twelve months. In order to fully implement our business plan and continue our growth, however, we will require additional capital either from our shareholders or from outside sources. Our long-term liquidity will depend on our ability to refinance our debts. The Company expects to be able to refinance its short term loans based on past experience and the Company’s good credit history. In July 2012, we signed an agreement with Bank of Asia, pursuant to which, the bank provides us with a RMB 22 million ($3.6 million) revolving credit line from July 25, 2012 to July 25, 2020. In May 2013, we signed another agreement with China Merchants Bank, pursuant to which the bank provides us with a RMB10 million ($1.6 million) revolving credit line from May 27, 2013 to May 26, 2014. We also have a line of credit from Bank of China in the amount of $3.48 million. Our major Shareholder, Mr. Guojun Wang will provide personal loans when necessary to provide us with sufficient liquidity for the next 12 months. For the six months ended December 31, 2013, cash provided by operating activities is $3,285,770.
NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of V Media Corp., its subsidiary, Hong Kong Fortune-Rich Investment Co., Ltd. (“Fortune Rich”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Dalian Guo-Heng Management & Consultation Co., Ltd. (“Dalian Guo-Heng”), as well as Dalian Guo-Heng’s variable interest entity and Dalian Vastitute Media Group Co., Ltd. (“V-Media Group”). The noncontrolling interests of the variable interest entities represent the minority stockholders’ interest in V-Media Group’s majority owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting years. Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets and the valuation of outstanding warrants and allowance of doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
V MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits with a bank with an original maturity of less than three months. Since a majority of the bank accounts are located in PRC, those bank balances are uninsured.
Restricted Cash
As of December 31, 2013, the Company had restricted cash of $3.1 million. $2.7 million of the restricted cash was associated with its bank acceptance notes payable. The banks require the Company to maintain a cash balance of a minimum of 50% of the balance of the notes payable as collateral (Note 10). The Company also has a letter of credit from the Bank of China in the amount of $3.48 million and was required to deposit $0.4 million of restricted cash in the bank.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for uncollectible amounts, as needed.
If facts subsequently become available to indicate that the allowance provided requires an adjustment, then the allowance will be adjusted. The allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $2,270,447 and $1,824,593 as of December 31 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Accounts are written off only after exhaustive collection efforts.

Fortune-Rich did not earn any income that was derived in Hong Kong since incorporation and therefore was not subject to Hong Kong Profit tax.

a) Income Tax
Dalian Guo-heng and V-Media Group are governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China concerning the private-run enterprises, which are currently subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25% on net income reported after appropriated tax adjustments. Because of different tax jurisdictions’ restriction, the V-Media Group and its subsidiaries of Shenyang, Wangluo, Tianjin, Beijing and Shanghai have loss carryovers that can only be used to offset their own future taxable income. The loss carry forward for those subsidiaries amounted to $3,292,031 and $4,081,411 as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively.
The Company periodically evaluates the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets, and reduces the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance to the extent it believes a portion will not be realized. The Company considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of the deferred tax assets, including its recent cumulative earnings experience, expectation of future income, the carry forward periods available for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors. For the three months ended December 31, 2013, management concluded the realization of PRC deferred tax assets is uncertain. Deferred tax assets amounted to $0.8 million and $1 million as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, which were fully reserved.
b) Business Tax
Dalian Guo-heng, Dalian Vastitude Media Group Co., Ltd. and its five subsidiaries are also subject to 5% business tax and related surcharges levied on advertising services in China.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview and Corporate History
We are one of the fastest growing outdoor advertising companies in China. We own and operate various outdoor media network and provide a full range of integrated outdoor advertising services to our clients, including art design, advertising publishing, daily maintenance and technical upgrading. We believe our well-diversified outdoor advertising media network and our ability to provide advertising services on an integrated basis allow us to target and satisfy client needs at all levels. Founded in 2000, we have grown steadily and expanded our media network into Shenyang, Tianjin, Beijing and Shanghai from our headquarters in Dalian.
Our principal executive offices are located at Golden Name Commercial Tower 8th floor, 68 Renmin Road, Zhongshan District, Dalian, P.R. China.
We provide clients with advertising opportunities through our diverse media platforms, which include four major proprietary channels: (1) Street Fixture and Display Network, which includes bus and taxi shelters; (2) Mobile Advertisement displayed on mass city transit systems, which includes displays on city buses, metro-trains and train stations; (3) Billboard and Large LED displays along the city’s streets and highways; and (4) our proprietary and patented multi-media system, “City Navigator.”
We have experienced sustainable business growth in recent years. The size of our network has grown significantly over the years since the commercial launch of our advertising network. As of December 31, 2013, the number of bus and taxi shelters on which we operate and carry our advertisements is 810; the number of buses that carry our mobile advertisements is 336; the number of mobile displays through Dalian metro-trains is 38. As of December 31, 2013, we have installed 52 “City Navigator” units across Dalian urban area, 3 mega-screen (126 square meters to 400 square meters, approximately 1,356 square feet to 4,306 square feet) LED screens and 8 metal billboards in Dalian, 4 LED screens in the business district in Shenyang, 2 indoor LED screen (22 square meters, approximately 237 square feet) in Tianjin Railway Station, 1 mega-screen (150 square meters, approximately 1,614 square feet) LED screen in Beijing and 5 outdoor billboards in Shanghai. On March 1, 2012, we also gained the operating right for one LED screen located at No. 1 Times Square in New York City in the United States for twelve months. We successfully extended the lease through August 31, 2014.
On July 17, 2012, our name was changed from China New Media Corp. to V Media Corporation through a short form merger pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware by merging a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation in the merger. Our trading symbol on the OTC Bulletin Board remains CMDI.OB.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
Domestic Spending and Urbanization
The demand for our advertising time slots is directly related to the outdoor advertising spending in northeast China. Advertising spending is largely determined by the economic conditions in our region. The Chinese government is aimed at building a domestic consumer-driven economy, which we believe, will continue to generate demand for outdoor advertising.
Expansion of Our Market Presence by Launching City Navigator ® Networks in Other Major Commercial Cities
We believe our proprietary multi-media advertising system – City Navigator ® Network is one of the most advanced outdoor advertising platforms available in China. This system combines the latest LED displaying technology, internet and WI-FI technology, and has proven to be very effective in our competition to get access to top tier cities such as Shanghai and Beijing.
By using wireless access technology, our LED displays at bus and taxi shelters are able to display real time programs at the control of our centralized computer systems. It consists of a Wi-Fi receiver, large-screen LED display, and web-based touch-screen kiosk which provide the public with information on various aspects of the city life, including travel, traffic, restaurants, shopping, hotels, business, medical and education. In addition, every City Navigator is equipped with Bluetooth, wireless access and printing technology. Users can either print the information or send the information to their cell phones or computers. As City Navigator® Network adopts Wi-Fi technology, users can enjoy its service from any area covered by its Wi-Fi signals. We are aggressively expanding our media platform by launching City Navigator ® Networks in our target cities, such as Tianjin, Qingdao and Shanghai, to create our own cross-region advertising network and enhance our advertising distribution capacity.
Promotion of Our Brand Name to Attract a Wider Client Base and Increase Revenues
We promote our brand name, [国域无疆]TM, through both our own media channels and public channels in North China. We believe that the enhancement of public awareness to our brand name will help broaden our client base, especially in the new marketplace such as Shenyang and Tianjin. As we expand our advertising client base and promote public’s awareness to our brand, demand for time slots and advertising space on our network will continue to grow.
Upgrade of Our Outdoor Billboard Network with New Digital Display Technology
We intend to capitalize recent advances in digital display technology, especially mega-screen LED displays, to meet major institutional clients’ needs. Because the LED displays can be linked through centralized computer systems to instantaneously change static advertisements, and are highly visible even during bright daylight, it improves the advertising effects markedly. We plan to build more mega-screen (100 square meters to 500 square meters, approximately 1,076.4 square feet to 5,382 square feet) LED displays at premier locations in our marketplace.
As we continue to expand our network, we expect to face a number of challenges. We have expanded our network rapidly, and we, as well as our competitors, have occupied many of the most desirable locations in Dalian. In order to continue expanding our network in a manner that is attractive to potential advertising clients, we must continue to identify and occupy desirable locations and to provide effective channels for advertisers. In addition, we must react to continuous technological innovations in the use of wireless and broadband technology in our network, and changes in the regulatory environment, such as the regulations allowing 100% foreign ownership of PRC advertising companies and new regulations governing cross-border investment by PRC persons.
We believe that our business model and success in our regional market give us a considerable advantage over our competitors. Our future growth will depend primarily on the following factors:
● | Overall economic growth in China, which we expect to contribute to an increase in advertising spending in major urban areas in China where consumer spending is concentrated; |
● | Our ability to expand our network into new locations and additional cities; |
● | Our ability to expand our sales force and engage in increased sales and marketing efforts; |
● | Our ability to expand our client base through promotion of our services; |
● | Our ability to expand our new systems including large-screen LED display network and City Navigator® Networks. |

Revenue
Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2013 were $5,487,565, a decrease of $534,653 or 8.9%, from $6,022,218 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the revenue decrease in Shenyang, Shanghai and Dalian district, offset by revenue increases in Beijing, Tianjin and US district.
The overall decrease of revenue is due to the change of business strategy. Instead of chasing high revenue, we are more focusing on expanding our profitable business units and segments and downsizing those segments and subsidiaries continuously incurring loss.
The other reason for the decrease of revenue is because we lost some real estate clients in this quarter when service term expired. The real estate industry is still under financial pressure thus lowered advertisement budget. We are now developing new customers from banking, food and beverage and other industries to make up the market share loss. We expected that the revenue for the near future will be increased from these customers.
For the three months ended December 31, 2013, sales in Dalian district, accounted for 69.9% of our total sales, a decrease of $1,247,320, or 24.5%, to $3,834,192 from $5,081,512 for the three months ended December 31, 2012.
For three months ended December 31, 2013, sales in Tianjin district increased by 14,860, or 6.7%, to $237,249 from $222,389 for the three months ended December 31, 2012.
Sales in Shanghai District decreased $251,733 or 99.9% to $146 from $251,879 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The Company is downsizing Shanghai office due to the continuous loss incurred for the past periods.
Sales in Shenyang district decreased $202,951 or 44.1% to $257,696 from $460,647 for the three months ended December 31, 2013.

The decrease in cost of revenue was in proportionate with the decrease of revenue, which was primarily attributable to: (i) Increase in depreciation in the amount of $0.08 million due to increase of property plant and equipment. (ii) The increase in billboard rights of approximately $0.07 million due to increase of billboard rights obtained. (iii) The increase of labor and raw material costs was about $0.59 million.

Revenue
Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2013 were $11,139,156, a decrease of $364,025 or 3.2%, from $11,503,181 for the six months ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the revenue increase in Dalian, Shenyang, Tianjin and Shanghai district, offset by revenue increases in Beijing and US district.
The overall decrease of revenue is due to the change of business strategy. Instead of chasing high revenue, we are more focusing on expanding our profitable business units and segments and downsizing those segments and subsidiaries continuously incurring loss.
The other reason for the decrease of revenue is because we lost some real estate clients in this quarter when service term expired. The real estate industry is still under financial pressure thus lowered advertisement budget. We are now developing new customers from banking, food and beverage and other industries to make up the market share loss. We expected that the revenue for the near future will be increased from these customers.
For six months ended December 31, 2013, sales in Dalian district, accounted for 73.9% of our total sales, decreased by $1,167,506, or 12.4%, to $8,229,536 from $9,397,042 for the six months ended December 31, 2012. The decrease is mainly from our construction services and network services. Our construction service and network services generated limited revenue for us in this year due to intensive competition we faced in the market.
Sales in Tianjin district decreased by 63,328, or 18.4%, to $280,564 from $343,892 for the six months ended December 31, 2012. Sales in Shanghai District decreased $413,148 or 89.3% to $49,645 from $462,793 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. Revenue decreases in Tianjin and Shanghai is due to more intense competition in those markets. Due to more billboards are constructed near Shanghai airport highway and Tianjin commercial area where our billboards are located, we are facing fierce competition and lost some contracts.
Sales in Shenyang district decreased $174,454 or 29.8% to $410,818 from $585,272 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. With a new billboard near train station in Shenyang area at the end of this quarter, we expect more revenue this year comparing to last year.
Sales in Beijing district increased by $536,746, or 75.2%, to $1,250,928 from $714,182 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. Beijing subsidiary signed a new client, Wanning Baoan Real Estate Company, bringing RMB200,000 ($32,644) revenue each month.
Sales in the US increased $917,665 from none for the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared with six months ended December 31, 2012. The Company signed several contracts for its leased Time Square Billboard since January 2013, including a one-year contract valued at $900,000 effective January 1, 2013 and several short-term contracts.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2013 was $8,637,195, a decrease of $881,316 or 9.3%, from $9,518,511 for the same period ended December 31, 2012. Decrease in cost of revenue is due to: (a) a reduction of rental cost of about $260,000 as the company increased its own bus shelters and outdoor billboards; (b) a reduction in production costs of about $150,000 related to our efforts to streamline ads production process and use more expert production staff; (c) less advertising fees in current quarter since we used more of our own production work. We experienced higher labor costs due to our hiring of expert ads production staff and higher material charges due to price increases, but the effect is offset by savings noted above.

Gross Profit
Our gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2013 increased by $517,291 or 26.1% to $2,501,961 from $1,984,670 for the same period in 2012. The increase in gross profit was due to the decrease in cost of revenue during the six months ended December 31, 2013. Management is actively enforcing cost-saving measures which lead to decreases of cost and expenses in current quarters. With lower rental costs and production costs, we were able to improve our gross margin. Our gross margin during the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were 22.5% and 17.3%, respectively.
We are currently monitoring our operational segments and adjusting our business strategy. We are focusing our resources on the profitable segments and downsize our non-profitable subsidiaries. We had decreased revenue but our gross margin increased. Also, the revenue generated from our Time square billboard improved our overall gross margin compared to last year, when no revenue was generated from that billboard.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses, totaled $2,713,591 during the six months ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $765,244 or 22.0%, compared to $3,478,835 for the same period ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in SG&A expenses is mainly due to the Company’s write off of two-months prepaid rent on the Time Square LED which amounted to $560,000 and was recorded as general and administrative expense in the first quarter of 2012.
Other Expenses
For the six months ended December 31, 2013, we had total other expenses of $353,800, an increase of $227,539 or 180.2%, compared with the other expenses of $126,261 during the same period of 2012. The increase in other expense was mainly due to the $248,854 decrease in subsidy income during the period.
Interest expense on our bank loans for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, amounted to $551,775 and $540,422, respectively.
Net Loss Attributable to the Company
Net loss attributable to the Company was $696,877 for the six months ended December 31, 2013, as compared with the net loss of $1,850,341 during the six months ended December 31, 2012, representing a decrease of 62.3%. The decrease in net loss was mainly attributed to our decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Comprehensive Loss Attributable to the Company
Our business operates primarily in Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), but we report our results in U.S. Dollars. The conversion of our accounts from RMB to U.S. Dollars results in translation adjustments. As a result of a currency translation adjustment gain, our comprehensive loss was $160,555 during the six months ended December 31, 2013, as compared with $286,853 during the six months ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of 44%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically funded our working capital needs from operations, advance payments from customers, bank borrowings, and capital from shareholders. Presently, our principal sources of liquidity are generated from our operations and loans from commercial banks and capital leases. Our working capital requirements are influenced by the level of our operations, the numerical and dollar volume of our sales contracts, the progress of our contract execution, and the timing of accounts receivable collections.
Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing resources, including cash generated from operations, bank loans and bank notes payable and advances from customers will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for our current operations over the next twelve months. Management is actively enforcing cost-saving measures which lead to a decrease of cost and expenses in the current quarter. In order to fully implement our business plan and continue our growth, however, we will require additional capital either from our shareholders or from outside sources. Our long-term liquidity will depend on our ability to refinance our debts. Based on our past experience, we usually can negotiate with the bank to renew our loans on an annual basis. The Company expects to be able to refinance its short term loans based on past experience and the Company’s good credit history. In July 2012, we signed an agreement with Bank of Asia, pursuant to which the bank provides a RMB 22 million ($3.6 million) revolving credit line from July 25, 2012 to July 25, 2020. In May 2013, we signed another agreement with China Merchants Bank, pursuant to which the bank will provide a RMB10 million ($1.6 million) revolving credit line to us from May 27, 2013 to May 26, 2014. We also have a line of credit from Bank of China in the amount of $3.48 million. Additionally, our major Shareholder Mr. Guojun Wang will provide personal loans when necessary to provide us with sufficient liquidity for the next 12 months.
We are currently monitoring our operational segments and adjusting our business strategy. In order to focus our resources towardsour profitable subsidiaries and segments. We are downsizing our non-profitable subsidiaries. We may not renew billboard rentals, which did not bring us enough cash flow in the past. Instead, we invest in business segments that have higher gross margins. Thus, in this quarter, we had decreased revenue but had higher gross margins, which lead to increased cash provided from operating activities. For the six months ended December 31, 2013, cash provided by operating activities is $3,285,770, compared to $1,958,972 provided by operating activities in the same period of 2012.
As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $1,418,426, a decrease of $729,895 from $2,148,321 as of June 30, 2013, mainly due to more spending on the new billboard use rights.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $3,285,770 for the six months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $1,326,798 from the net cash provided by operating activities of $1,958,972 for the six months ended December 31, 2012. The increase was mainly due to decrease in the net loss of $1,028,864 and increase of deferred tax provision of $366,265, depreciation and amortization of $625,126 account receivable of $316,596 and other current assets of $230,106, offset by decrease of advance to suppliers of $389,151, taxes payable of $279,390 and other payable of $753,456.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended December 31, 2013 was $4,806,978 as compared to net cash used of $3,106,824 for the six months ended December 31, 2012. Cash used in investing activities in the current period was primarily for acquisitions of new outdoor advertising platforms to expand our existing advertising network.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
For the six months ended December 31, 2013, net cash provided by financing activities was $761,747 as a result of i) net repayments of third party loans of $916,729; ii) Net proceeds from short-term bank loans of approximately $1.96 million, iii) net repayment of long-term loans of $336,715. Net cash provided by financing activities was $606,417 for the six months ended December 31, 2012, primarily due to proceeds from short-term bank loans of $618,958 and acceptance notes payable of $3,853,411 which were partially offset by a $2,973,107 allocation to restricted cash.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Impact of Accounting Pronouncements

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of our processes and the effect on the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The purpose of this evaluation is to determine if, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively such that the information, required to be disclosed in our reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (i) was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In light of the material weaknesses that were identified and described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2013.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, we have
● Continued our search for an experienced internal control manager for the Company to lead the testing and implementation of our accounting and internal control procedures.
● Established a work plan to update the Company’s internal control procedures and policies.
● Developed a preliminary staff training program to all employees involved which objective is to enhance the staff’s awareness of the Company’s updated accounting policies and procedures and familiarity with US GAAP and SEC rules and regulations.
There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
