NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008
Note 1 - ORGANIZATION
EFT Biotech Holdings, Inc. (“EFT Holdings” or “the Company”), formerly HumWare Media Corporation, GRG, Inc., Ghiglieri Corporation, Karat Productions, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 19, 1992.
On November 18, 2007, the Company issued an aggregate of 53,300,000 shares of its common stock in connection with a share exchange with the stockholders of EFT BioTech, Inc. (“EFT BioTech”), a Nevada Corporation formed on September 17, 2007 (the “Transaction”), pursuant to which EFT BioTech became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The 53,300,000 common shares issued represented approximately 87.01% of the Company’s common stock outstanding after the Transaction. Consequently, the stockholders of EFT BioTech, Inc. own a majority of the Company's common stock immediately following the Transaction, therefore, the Transaction is being accounted for as a "reverse acquisition", and EFT BioTech is deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the reverse acquisition. As EFT Holdings was a non-operating public shell corporation that acquired an operating company, this Transaction is treated as a capital transaction where the acquiring corporation issued stock for the net monetary assets of the shell corporation, accompanied by a recapitalization. The accounting is similar in form to a reverse acquisition, except that goodwill or other intangibles are not recorded
At its formation on September 17, 2007, EFT BioTech acquired EFT Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“BVI”) formed on August 22, 2007, pursuant to which EFT Limited (BVI) became a wholly-owned subsidiary of EFT BioTech. Since both EFT BioTech and EFT Limited (BVI) were under the common control, this acquisition represents a reorganization of entities under common control.
EFT Limited (BVI) has four wholly-owned subsidiaries: EFT, Inc., a California company formed on January 1, 2003, Top Capital, Ltd. (BVI), a BVI company formed on May 22, 2002, EFT (HK), Ltd., a Hong Kong (“HK”) company formed on November 1, 2006 and EFT International Ltd. (BVI), a BVI company formed on April 20, 2005, which it acquired all on November 14, 2007. As EFT Limited (BVI) and the four companies being acquired were under the common control, this acquisition also represents a reorganization of entities under common control. Top Capital, Ltd. (BVI) is the operating company that generates substantially all of the Company’s net income.
These reorganizations of entities under common control resulted in changes in the legal organization of these predecessors to EFT BioTech but did not result in changes in the reporting entity.
On October 20, 2008, EFT Investment Co., Ltd., a Taiwan company, was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of EFT Holdings.
The Company, through its subsidiaries, is engaged in the E-Business designed around the concept of Business-to-customer using the World Wide Web as its “storefront” and business platform to market, sell and distribute 43 American brand products consisting of 22 nutritional products, 18 personal care products, 2 automotive fuel additives, 1 home product and a portable drinking container.
Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The information furnished in the interim financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements included on Form-10.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
DECEMBER 31, 2008
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency
The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company’s operation in Hong Kong uses Hong Kong dollar (HKD) as its functional currency. The financial statements of the subsidiary are translated into U.S. Dollars (USD) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounts Standards (SFAS) No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate, stockholders equity are translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income as a Component of Stockholders Equity. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses are reflected in the income statement. During the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 there have been immaterial currency fluctuations between HKD and USD.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 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 from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains its accounts in banks, several of which exceed the federally insured limit. In aggregate, approximately $38.9 million were out of federally insured limit.
Available for sale securities
The Company’s investments in publicly traded equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value (based on quoted prices and market prices) using the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on investments are included in investment and other income, net when realized. Any impairment loss to reduce an investment’s carrying amount to its fair market value is recognized in income when a decline in the fair market value of an individual security below its cost or carrying value is determined to be other than temporary.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. The Company records a write-down for inventories which have become obsolete. The Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value and allowance is made for writing down the inventories to market value, if lower. Inventory consists of high tech nutritional, cosmetic, automotive maintenance and environmentally safe products.

DECEMBER 31, 2008
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives of:
Machinery and equipment | 3 years |
Office equipment and furniture | 3 years |
Automobile | 5 years |
Leasehold Improvements | Lease term |
For the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, depreciation expenses were $36,440 and $28,755, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the asset’s carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2008 there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, requires that the Company discloses estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short term maturity of these instruments.
Fair Value Measurements
Effective April 1, 2008, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various other accounting pronouncements. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or operating results.
Refer to Note 4, “Fair Value Measurements” for additional information on the adoption of SFAS No. 157.

Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123R ("SFAS 123R"), "Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123". SFAS 123R requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. The Company adopted SFAS 123R on April 1, 2006.
The Company did not issue any stock options to employees during the nine months ended December 31, 2008, therefore pro forma disclosures are not required.
The Company values the stock awards using the market price on or around the date the shares were awarded. The amount of compensation was included as a period compensation expense. For the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the stock-based compensations for shares awarded were $16,850 and $0, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue recognition policy is in accordance with the requirements of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition, (“SAB 104”), EITF 01-09, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products) (“EITF 01-09”) and other applicable revenue recognition guidance and interpretations. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectibility is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. Cash consideration given by the Company to its sales affiliates is considered to be a reduction of the selling prices of the Company's products, thus, is recorded as a reduction of revenue.
Warranty
The Company records warranty liabilities at the time of sale for the estimated costs that may be incurred under its limited warranty. The specific warranty terms and conditions vary depending upon the product sold, but generally include replacement over a period of six months. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of products currently under warranty, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims on those products, and cost per claim to satisfy the warranty obligation. The anticipated rate of warranty claims is the primary factor impacting the estimated warranty obligation. The other factors are less significant due to the fact that the warranty period is only six months and replacement is generally already in stock or available at pre-determined price. Warranty claims are relatively predictable based on historical experience of failure rates. If actual results differ from the estimates, the Company revises its estimated warranty liability.
Currently, the Company estimates its warranty expense as follows:
Products sold for |
| |
0-2 months | 2% of cost |
3-4 months | 1.5% of cost |
5-6 months | 1% of cost |
Shipping Costs
The Company’s shipping costs are included in cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income for all periods presented.

Advertising
Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs of promotion for corporate image and product marketing and costs of direct advertising. The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. For the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, advertising expenses were $87,630 and $1,232, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), on April 1, 2006 The Interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.
Earnings Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net income per share are excluded from the calculation.
Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. For the Company, comprehensive income for the periods presented is comprised of net income and unrealized gain/loss on marketable securities classified as available-for-sale.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions, but several of its bank accounts exceed the federally insured limit, thus are exposed to credit risk in the case of financial institutions failure. The Company’s accounts receivable is constantly at a marginal to zero dollar ($0) level and its revenues are derived from orders place by consumers located anywhere in the world over the Company’s designate internet portal. The Company maintains a zero dollar ($0) allowance for doubtful accounts and authorizes credits based upon its historical “sound and quality” after sales customer services provided to affiliates and customers. Historically, such customer services have been maintained in accordance with the management expectations. The Company routinely assesses the credits authorized to its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
Segment Reporting
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (SFAS 131), “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires use of the management approach model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.
As the Company offers a wide range of products through the World Wide Web, it is impractical for it to report revenues by segment.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In March 2008, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
On May 8, 2008, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which will provide framework for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. With the issuance of SFAS No. 162, the GAAP hierarchy for nongovernmental entities will move from auditing literature to accounting literature. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 162 on its financial position and results of operations.
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and will be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 141R on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

DECEMBER 31, 2008
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 4 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
On April 1, 2008, the Company adopted the effective portions of SFAS 157. In February 2008 the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which provides a one year deferral of the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Therefore, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 with respect to only financial assets and liabilities.
SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
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.
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

General
On November 18, 2007, EFT BioTech Holdings, Inc. (formerly HumWare Media Corporation) (the “Company”) issued an aggregate of 53,300,000 shares of its Common Stock in connection with a share exchange with EFT BioTech, Inc. (“EFT BioTech”), a Nevada corporation formed on September 18, 2007, pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of EFT BioTech in consideration for 53,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, representing 87.01% of the Company’s capital stock on a fully-diluted basis.

As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately 500,000 Affiliates enrolled in our Affiliate program. When a customer joins our Affiliate program, the customer is given a membership number. We have a reward system whereby Affiliates earn monetary rewards for products purchased by other persons who join our Affiliate program and who were introduced to our Affiliate program by the Affiliate. The reward earned is a percentage of the purchase price of the products purchased by the referred customer. When the second customer joins our Affiliate Program, he/she is required to furnish the first Affiliate’s number. When the second Affiliate introduces a third Affiliate to the Company, the second Affiliate as well as the first Affiliate earn rewards. This reward system continues for each additional Affiliate.
Affiliates are not required to buy products, recruit others, attend meetings or report to us. We offer educational classes to our Affiliates for a nominal fee where they can learn more about our products and how to use them. Affiliate rewards are issued in the form of a reward card. Rewards are credited in U.S. Dollars and can be withdrawn in local currency at an automated teller machine (ATM) in the country of the Affiliate. By using this method, we eliminate cumbersome accounting chores such as issuing checks and reconciling bank statements. This method helps us to keep our accounting staff smaller than it would be if we used a check payment method, thereby saving operating expenses.
We require payment in full in U.S. Dollars prior to shipment. At period end, we recognize cash received where orders have not been shipped as a liability. We report unshipped orders as a liability under unearned revenues. Revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectibility is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. Cash consideration given by the Company to its sales to Affiliates is considered to be a reduction of the selling prices of the Company's products, thus, is recorded as a reduction of revenue. Affiliates may return defective merchandise for an exchange or refund.
Our products are manufactured by third party American vendors and are packaged under the EFT brand. EFT packages clearly state that the products are made in the United States. We do not have any contracts or agreements with any American merchants to produce or market our products at this time. We order our products directly from American vendors on as needed basis. EFT does not manufacture any products.

Distribution of Our Products
Our products are sold exclusively on the Internet. Customer orders are filled using the following general process:
| · | We buy finished products from several American vendors and in some instances, boxes for packaging from China. We do not manufacture any products; |
| · | We have the completed products sent to our fulfillment center located in the City of Industry in California; and cit |
| · | We then ship our products to our distribution center in Hong Kong. |
We buy finished products from American vendors who manufacture EFT products for us. The product formulations, delivery systems (spray), packages, packaging design and labels are products EFT created and are formulated or manufactured under EFT control.
We do not copy right or patent the products, as it would be prohibitively expensive for a competitor to duplicate the process without a ready market to sell hundreds of thousands of products into. To date, we have not encountered any competitor who has products similar to ours. additionally, we are not fully dependent upon any one manufacturer supplier for 100% of any single product. A disruption by one supplier could be quickly replaced by a second manufacturer.
Government Regulation
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not have a premarket approval system for our products. However, the FDA may in the future determine to regulate our products or the ingredients included in our products as drugs or biologics. If certain of our products are deemed to be drugs or biologics, we would be required to conduct clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of these products in order to continue to market and sell them. In such event, we may not have sufficient resources to conduct any required clinical trials, and we may not be able to establish sufficient efficacy or safety data to resume the sale of these products. Any inquiries by the FDA or any foreign regulatory authorities into the regulatory status of our products and any related interruption in the marketing and sale of these products could severely damage our brand reputation and image in the marketplace, as well as our relationships with customers, which would harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Seasonality
Our business is not seasonal in nature.
We believe that the Business to Commerce -business is robust and that consumers have become more confident in ordering products, like ours, over the internet. However, the nutritional supplement and cosmetic e-business markets have and continue to become increasingly competitive and are rapidly evolving. Barriers to entry are minimal and current and new competitors can launch new websites at a relatively low cost. Many competitors in this area have greater financial, technical and marketing resources than our Company. Continued advancement in technology and increasing access to that technology is paving the way for growth in direct marketing. We also face competition for consumers from retailers, duty-free retailers, specialty stores, department stores and specialty and general merchandise catalogs, many of which have greater financial and marketing resources than we have. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we believe that we are well-positioned within the Asian consumer market with our plan of supplying American merchandise brands to consumers and that our exposure to both the Asian and American cultures gives us a competitive advantage.
However, the global economy is currently undergoing a period of unprecedented volatility, and the future economic environment may continue to be less favorable than that of recent years. This has led, and could further lead, to reduced consumer spending in the foreseeable future, and this may include spending on nutritional and beauty products and other discretionary items, like our products. In addition, reduced consumer spending may drive us and our competitors to decrease prices. These conditions may adversely affect our industry, business and results of operations and may cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, at December 31, 2008, the Company had $39,364,100 cash on hand, increased from $15,165,620 at Mach 31, 2008, and a stockholders’ equity of $60,487,748 at December 31, 2008 compared to $1,739,428 at March 31, 2008. We believe we have enough capital to fund our operations during the next 12 months. To date, we have funded our operations primarily from sales to our Affiliates and through private equity financings. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to improve sales volume and in our ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect.
Our products are sensitive to business and personal discretionary spending levels and tend to decline or grow more slowly during economic downturns, including downturns in any of our major markets. In the last nine months, our sales were $22,984,940 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 compared to $12,993,810 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and our profits from $18,892,359 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 to $10,891,805 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. We believe these decreases are due to the current worldwide recession. The current worldwide recession is expected to adversely affect our sales and liquidity for the foreseeable future. Although we have mitigated decreases in sales by lowering our levels of inventory to preserve cash on hand, we do not know when the recession will subside and when consumer spending will increase from its current depressed levels. Even if consumer spending increases, we are not sure when consumer spending will increase for our products.
In March 2008, we commenced a private placement of Units exclusively to non-U.S. residents at a purchase price of $3.80 per Unit under the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, afforded the Company under Regulation S thereunder due to the fact that offers and sales were only made to non U.S. residents. The offering was conducted on a best-efforts basis. The original offering was up to 10,000,000 but was increased due to the terms of the Private Placement Memorandum.
Each Unit consisted of one share of Common Stock and one Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock at $3.80 per share until the second anniversary date of the date of issuance. The Warrants are redeemable, on a pro rata basis, by the Company at a purchase price of $0.0001 per share within 30 days from the tenth (10th) consecutive trading day that the closing sales price, or the average of the closing bid and asked price in the event that the Company’s Common Stock trades on the OTCBB or any public securities market within the U.S., is at least $11.
The private placement closed in multiple offerings and it terminated on October 25, 2008 and the Company sold an aggregate of 14,890,040 Units for net proceeds of $56,582,152 consisting of a total of 14,890,040 shares of Common Stock and 14,890,040 Warrants. As of the date hereof, none of the warrant have been exercised and none of the warrants have been redeemed.
The table below sets forth management’s used and currently planned allocation of the net proceeds of the offering.
Proceeds from Sale of Units | |
Category: | | Amount (USD$): | | | Percentage of Net Proceeds: | |
Loan to Excalibur International Marine Corporation (1) | | $ | 22,760,000 | | | | 40 | % |
Marketing Development (2) | | | 20,000,000 | | | | 35 | % |
Business Development (2)(3) | | | 13,822,152 | | | | 25 | % |
TOTAL | | $ | 56,582,152 | | | | 100 | % |
| (1) | Completed and described below. |
| (2) | Currently planned. The allocation of these net proceeds of the Offering represents our best estimate based upon our present plans and certain assumptions regarding general economic and industry conditions and our future revenues and expenditures. We reserve the right to reallocate these proceeds within the above-mentioned categories or to other purposes if management believes it is in our best interests. We will not however use any of the net proceeds to pay any debt or other obligations owed to any party or management without the consent of the Placement Agent. |
| (3) | We anticipate using funds from the Private Placement for investments and acquisitions to allow us to grow our existing business operations and to enter into additional territories. To date, we have not located any acquisition targets nor do we have any commitments for capital expenditures, other than Excalibur. We believe that due to the current global economic recession, there might be material opportunities for us to acquire smaller companies at discount prices. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in doing so. Our expansion will rely to a great degree on global economic conditions and perceived future changes. Until such time, we intend to retain our cash reserves to fund our operations. |

On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews inventory levels in each country for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable items, as compared to future demand requirements and the shelf life of the various products. Based on this review, the Company records inventory write-downs when costs exceed expected net realizable value. Historically, the Company estimates of the obsolete or unmarketable items have been insignificant.
SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs,” (“SFAS 151”) which clarifies that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) should be recognized as period charges, rather than as an inventory value. This standard also requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The Company’s existing accounting policy for inventory valuation is generally consistent with this guidance, and therefore, the adoption of SFAS 151 did not have a significant impact on The Company’s 2007 and 2008 financial results.
Notes Receivables from Related Parties
Notes receivable consists of receivables from the Company’s investment in Excalibur, Taiwan, a related party. As of December 31, 2008, note receivable totaled $ 2.5 million and Yeuh-Chi Liu, a related party, in the amount of 1.567 million. The Company periodically reviews notes receivables for realiability and collectability, and recent account activities. If the Company’s estimates regarding estimated collectability are inaccurate or an unforeseen manner occurred, The Company may be exposed to a write-offs or bad debts. As of December 31, 2008, The Company does not have an allowance for bad debts.
Investment
The Company accounts for equity investments in entities in which it exercises significant influence but do not own a majority equity interest or control using equity method. The Company evaluates its equity investments for impairment whenever events and changes in business circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the equity investment may not be fully recoverable. On October 25, 2008, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, EFT Investment Co. Ltd., invested $19,193,000 in Excalibur International Marine Corporation for 49% of its ownership. The Company recorded this investment using equity method because of its significant influence over the entity.
Warrant
In March 2008, The Company commenced a private placement of Units exclusively to non-U.S. residents at a purchase price of $3.80 per Unit under the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, afforded the Company under Regulation S thereunder due to the fact that offers and sales were only made to non U.S. residents. The offering was conducted on a best-efforts basis and the placement agent was Buckman, Buckman & Reid, Inc., a registered broker/dealer (“Buckman”). The original offering was up to 10,000,000 but was increased by Buckman due to the terms of the Private Placement Memorandum.
Each Unit consisted of one share of Common Stock and one Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock at $3.80 per share until the second anniversary date of the date of issuance. The Warrants are redeemable, on a pro rata basis, by the Company at a purchase price of $0.0001 per share within 30 days from the tenth (10th) consecutive trading day that the closing sales price, or the average of the closing bid and asked price in the event that the Company’s Common Stock trades on the OTCBB or any public securities market within the U.S., is at least $11.
The Company accounted for the warrants as permanent equity in accordance with EITF 00-19 and recorded it in additional paid in capital.
Unearned Revenues
Unearned Revenues consist of amounts received in advance for goods and services to be delivered at a future date. The Company records the advances from customers as liability until the products are delivered.
Revenue
The Company receives payment by cash only for orders from customers or affiliates. Cash consideration given by the Company to its sales affiliates is considered to be a reduction of the selling prices of the Company’s products, thus, is recorded as a reduction of revenue. Sales revenue are recorded when the merchandise delivery is completed.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar and its operation in Hong Kong uses Hong Kong dollar (HKD) as its functional currency. An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Management must use judgment in determining an entity’s functional currency, assessing economic factors including cash flow, sales price, sales market, expense, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements. Impact from exchange rate changes related to transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency is recorded as a gain and loss in the statements of operations, while impact from exchange rate changes related to translating a foreign entity’s financial statements from the functional currency to its reporting currency, the U.S. dollar, is disclosed and accumulated in a separate component under the equity section of the balance sheets. Different judgments or assumptions resulting in a change of functional currency may materially impact The Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year. In addition, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating losses and tax credit carry-forwards. Management must make assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine the current provision for income taxes and the deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance to be recorded against a deferred tax asset. Management’s judgments, assumptions and estimates relative to the current provision for income tax take into account current tax laws, management’s interpretation of current tax laws and possible outcomes of current and future audits conducted by foreign and domestic tax authorities. Changes in tax law or management’s interpretation of tax laws and the resolution of current and future tax audits could significantly impact the amounts provided for income taxes in the financial statements. Management’s assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to the value of a deferred tax asset take into account predictions of the amount and category of future taxable income, such as income from operations. Actual operating results and the underlying amount and category of income in future years could render management’s current assumptions, judgments and estimates of recoverable net deferred taxes inaccurate. Any of the assumptions, judgments and estimates mentioned above could cause our actual income tax obligations to differ from the estimates, thus materially impact the financial position and results of operations.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2008, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
On May 8, 2008, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which will provide framework for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. With the issuance of SFAS No. 162, the GAAP hierarchy for nongovernmental entities will move from auditing literature to accounting literature. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 162 on its financial position and results of operations.
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and will be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 141R on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
For our fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, 100% of our total sales consisted of sales outside of the United States, with less than 0% of total sales denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar. In addition, from time to time we execute intercompany loans with our foreign subsidiaries that are denominated in foreign currencies.
We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include the translation of local currency balances of our Company and foreign subsidiaries, intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in foreign currencies. It is our policy not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. We do not hedge our exposure to the translation of reported results of our foreign subsidiaries from local currency to United States dollars. A 10% adverse change in the underlying foreign currency exchange rates would not be significant to our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).

Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of as of December 31, 2008. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Regulation S Private Offering
In March 2008, we commenced a private placement of Units exclusively to non-U.S. residents at a purchase price of $3.80 per Unit under the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, afforded the Company under Regulation S thereunder due to the fact that offers and sales were only made to non U.S. residents. The offering was conducted on a best-efforts basis and the placement agent was Buckman, Buckman & Reid, Inc., a registered broker/dealer (“Buckman”). The original offering was up to 10,000,000 but was increased by Buckman due to the terms of the Private Placement Memorandum.
Each Unit consisted of one share of Common Stock and one Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock at $3.80 per share until the second anniversary date of the date of issuance. The Warrants are redeemable, on a pro rata basis, by the Company at a purchase price of $0.0001 per share within 30 days from the tenth (10th) consecutive trading day that the closing sales price, or the average of the closing bid and asked price in the event that the Company’s Common Stock trades on the OTCBB or any public securities market within the U.S., is at least $11.
The private placement terminated on October 25, 2008 and the Company sold an aggregate of 14,890,040 Units for net proceeds of $56,582,152 consisting of a total of 14,890,040 shares of Common Stock and 14,890,040 Warrants. As of the date hereof, none of the warrant have been exercised and none of the warrants have been redeemed.
The table below sets forth management’s used and currently planned allocation of the net proceeds of the offering.
Proceeds from Sale of Units | |
Category: | | Amount (USD$): | | | Percentage of Net Proceeds: | |
| | | | | | |
Loan to Excalibur International Marine Corporation (1) | | $ | 22,760,000 | | | | 40 | % |
Marketing Development (2) | | | 20,000,000 | | | | 35 | % |
Business Development (2)(3) | | | 13,822,152 | | | | 25 | % |
TOTAL | | $ | 56,582,152 | | | | 100 | % |
| (1) | See Liquidity Section. |
| (2) | Currently planned. The allocation of these net proceeds of the Offering represents our best estimate based upon our present plans and certain assumptions regarding general economic and industry conditions and our future revenues and expenditures. We reserve the right to reallocate these proceeds within the above-mentioned categories or to other purposes if management believes it is in our best interests. We will not however use any of the net proceeds to pay any debt or other obligations owed to any party or management without the consent of the Placement Agent. |
| (3) | We anticipate using funds from the Private Placement for investments and acquisitions to allow us to grow our existing business operations and to enter into additional territories. To date, we have not located any acquisition targets nor do we have any commitments for capital expenditures other than Excalibur. We believe that due to the current global economic recession, there might be material opportunities for us to acquire smaller companies at discount prices. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in doing so. Our expansion will rely to a great degree on global economic conditions and perceived future changes. Until such time, we intend to retain our cash reserves to fund our operations. |
