1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Winha International Group Limited ("Winha International") was incorporated in Nevada on April 15, 2013. The subsidiaries of the Company and their principal activities are described as follows:
Winha International and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the "Company". The Company retails local specialty products from different regions across China through its seven self-operated physical stores. The stores are supplemented by two restaurants, the first of which the Company opened in April 2015. In addition, the Company has granted 26 franchises to use the Company's tradename, store dress, and other resources. The Company plans to open additional stores and restaurants and add additional franchisees during fiscal 2017. The Company also plans to develop its website and mobile store, as it expands its sales platform. The Company's business model utilizes a multi-channel shopping platform to sell locally-produced food, beverages, and arts and crafts that are well-known across China. Through this comprehensive shopping platform, the Company will provide customers with access to a variety of local products that can typically only be found in local stores or markets in specific regions of China.
Until November 27, 2015, the Company operated its business through a variable interest entity, Zhongshan Winha Electronic Commerce Company Limited ("Zhongshan Winha"), which has two wholly owned limited liability subsidiaries, Zhongshan Supermarket Limited ("Zhongshan Supermarket") and Zhongshan Winha Catering Management Co., Ltd. ("Winha Catering"), as well as three incorporated branches. The Company had the controlling interest in Zhongshan Winha via its wholly owned subsidiary Shenzhen Winha Information Technologies Company Ltd. ("Shenzhen Winha") through a series of contractual arrangements. On November 27, 2015, the shareholders of Zhongshan Winha transferred their stock to Shenzhen Winha upon the exercise of its option to purchase all of the registered equity. The purchase price was $0.16. Zhongshan Winha, therefore, is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Shenzhen Winha.
In May 2015, C&V International Company Limited ("C&V"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Winha International, set up a wholly owned subsidiary, Australia Winha Commerce and Trade Limited ("Australian Winha"). In February 2016, Sanmei International Investment Co., Ltd ("Sanmei Investment"), a company incorporated in Anguilla on April 23, 2013, transferred 100% of its shares to Winha International. Subsequently, Winha International transferred the shares of C&V to Sanmei Investment, and C&V transferred the shares of Australian Winha to Sanmei Investment.
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
In March 2016, 40% of the 72,000,000 shares of Australian Winha were transferred from the sole shareholder of Sanmei Investment to the following individuals and entities, which have direct or indirect relationships with the major shareholder and consultants of the Company: 5% to Beijing Ruihua Future, 5% to Donghe Group, 7% to Zhuowei Zhong, 5% to Xinxi Zhong, 4% to Zhifei Huang and 3% to Chun Yan Winne Lam. Immediately after the transfer, 20,880,000 bonus shares were issued at no consideration for every existing share held as follows:
| | Percentage of Shares | | | Bonus shares issued | |
| | | | | | |
Zhuowei Zhong | | | 7 | % | | | 5,040,000 | |
Beijing Ruihua Future Investment Management Co. Ltd. | | | 5 | % | | | 3,600,000 | |
Donghe Group Limited | | | 5 | % | | | 3,600,000 | |
Xinxi Zhong. | | | 5 | % | | | 3,600,000 | |
Zhifei Huang | | | 4 | % | | | 2,880,000 | |
Chun Yan Winne Lam | | | 3 | % | | | 2,160,000 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total | | | 29 | % | | | 20,880,000 | |
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
In addition, 11 individuals, suppliers of Zhongshan Winha, were each sold 1% of Australian Winha shares for $0.0001 per share as follows:
| | Shares Sold | |
| | | |
Huizhen Li | | | 720,000 | |
Jianxin Cen | | | 720,000 | |
Zongxun Zhang | | | 720,000 | |

Weicheng Zheng | | | 720,000 | |
Ruicheng Li | | | 720,000 | |
| | | | |
Total | | | 7,920,000 | |
The effect of this transaction was to reduce the interest of the Company in its Australian subsidiary by 40%. The Company used the Australian Winha offering price for its initial public offering in Australia to approximate the fair value of the 40% stock issued. The Company recognized stock compensation to the shareholder and consultants of $19,695,000 and $2,188,000, respectively, during the year ended March 31, 2016 in general and administrative expenses.
The following chart illustrates the Company's current corporate structure.

Basis of Accounting and Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis.
Until November 27, 2015, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and Zhongshan Winha, its VIE, for which it was deemed the primary beneficiary. On November 27, 2015, the VIE structure was terminated upon Shenzhen Winha exercising its option to purchase all of the registered equity of Zhongshan Winha. Shenzhen Winha became the sole owner of Zhongshan Winha. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
All consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars ("US Dollar" or "US$" or "$").
Foreign Currency Translation
Almost all Company assets and operations are located in the PRC. The functional currency for the majority of the Company's operations is the Renminbi ("RMB"). For Winha International Investment Holdings Company, the functional currency for the majority of its operations is the Hong Kong Dollar ("HKD"). For Australian Winha, the functional currency is the Australian Dollar ("AUD"). The Company uses the United States Dollar ("US Dollar" or "US$" or "$") for financial reporting purposes. The financial statements of the Company have been translated into US dollars in accordance with FASB ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters."

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain 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 periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses as of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016 of approximately $110,000 and $174,000, respectively, mainly represent the prepayments for decoration expenses of the Company's new stores.
Advances from Customers
Advances from customers represents prepaid cards purchased by customers at our retail locations. We believe that prepaid cards are principally purchased for gift purposes and usually used quickly. Accordingly the Company records the related obligation as a current liability.
Advances from customers was $1,254,490 and $769,814 as of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively.
Website Development Costs
The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with ASC 350-50, "Accounting for Website Development Costs", wherein website development costs are segregated into three activities:
1. | Initial stage (planning), whereby the related costs are expensed. |
| |
2. | Development stage (web application, infrastructure, graphics), whereby the related costs are capitalized and amortized once the website is ready for use. Costs for development content of the website may be expensed or capitalized depending on the circumstances of the expenditures. |
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Website Development Costs (continued)
3. | Operating stage, whereby the related costs are expensed as incurred. Upgrades are usually expensed, unless they add additional functionality. |
The Company has a website and ongoing website development costs of $43,338 and $45,676 as of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The online sales platform is currently in use and the related costs are being amortized over five years. Amortization expense was $1,403 and $206 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the following channels:
a) | Retail stores - The Company recognizes sales revenue from its seven retail stores, net of sales taxes and estimated sales returns at the time it sells merchandise to the customer. Customer purchases of shopping cards are not recognized as revenue until the card is redeemed when the customer purchases merchandise by using the shopping card. |
| |
b) | Custom-made sales - The Company started "Custom-made" sales in August 2014. The target customers are commercial customers who can order online or in the Company's local stores and make full payment on site. All orders are forwarded to Zhongshan Winha immediately, which arranges the delivery. Revenue from the sale of products is recognized upon delivery to customers provided that there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, and the sales price is fixed and determinable. Revenue generated from custom-made sales was $9,816,177 and $4,608,664, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. |
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue Recognition (continued)
c) | Franchise and management fees |
| |
During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company commenced franchising the use of the Company's trademark, name identification and other business resources. The franchisee is required to pay franchise fees and management fees to Zhongshan Winha. Franchise fee revenue from franchise sales is recognized only when all material services or conditions relating to the sale have been substantially performed or satisfied by the Company. The franchise and management fees recognized by the Company were $1,492,731 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and are included in revenue. |
Zhongshan Winha grants certain commercial customers limited rights to return products and provides price protection for inventories held by resellers at the time of published price reductions. Zhongshan Winha establishes an estimated allowance for future product returns based upon historical return experience when the related revenue is recorded and provides for appropriate price protection reserves when pricing adjustments are approved.
Zhongshan Winha's return policy allows customers to return their merchandise in the original box and/or packaging within 7 days of purchase. The Company has not experienced material returns.

FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement," specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). In accordance with ASC 820, the following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 Inputs – Inputs based on prices or valuation techniques that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements.
Inventory
Inventory, comprised principally of merchandise and food products, is stated at the lower of cost or market. The value of inventory is determined using the weighted average cost method.
The Company estimates an inventory allowance for excessive or unusable inventories. Inventory amounts are reported net of such allowances, if any. There was no allowance for excessive or unusable inventories as of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the price paid to acquire the asset, and any expenditure that substantially increases the asset's value or extends the useful life of an existing asset. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Major repairs and betterments that significantly extend original useful lives or improve productivity are capitalized and depreciated over the periods benefited. Maintenance and repairs are generally expensed as incurred.
The estimated useful lives for property, plant and equipment categories are as follows:
Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 3 to 5 years |
Leasehold improvements | Over the shorter of the remaining lease term or estimated useful life of the improvements. |
Motor vehicles | 5 years |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company applies FASB ASC 360, "Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses for long-lived assets. In accordance with ASC 360, long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company may recognize the impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to those assets. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for the periods presented.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"), which requires the recognition of deferred income taxes for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences for those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. ASC 740 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 ASC 740, the Company 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 would be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on the de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and accounting for interest and penalties associated with these tax positions. As of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the Company did not record any liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits.
The income tax laws of various jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate are summarized as follows:
United States
The Company is subject to United States tax at graduated rates from 15% to 35%. No provision for income tax in the United States has been made as the Company had no U.S. taxable income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
Anguilla
Sanmei International Investment Co, Ltd is incorporated in Anguilla and is governed by the income tax laws of Anguilla. According to current Anguilla income tax law, the applicable income tax rate for the Company is 0%.

Income Taxes (continued)
Australia
Winha Commerce and Trade Limited is incorporated in Australia. Pursuant to the income tax laws of Australia, the Company is not subject to tax on non-Australian source income.
Cayman Islands
C&V International Holdings Company Limited is incorporated in Cayman Islands and is governed by the income tax laws of the Cayman Islands. According to current Cayman Islands income tax law, the applicable income tax rate for the Company is 0%.
Hong Kong
Winha International Investment Holdings Company Limited is incorporated in Hong Kong. Pursuant to the income tax laws of Hong Kong, the Company is not subject to tax on non-Hong Kong source income.
PRC
Shenzhen Winha, Zhongshan Winha Electronic Commerce Company Limited together with Zhongshan Winha Catering Management Company Limited and Zhongshan Supermarket Limited are subject to an Enterprise Income Tax at 25% and each files its own tax return.
The Company computes net income (loss) per common share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share" ("ASC 260"). Under the provisions of ASC 260, basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the effect of any potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. There were no dilutive shares outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Accordingly, the number of weighted average shares outstanding as well as the amount of net income per share are presented for basic and diluted per share calculations for the period reflected in the accompanying consolidated statement of income and other comprehensive income.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Statutory Reserve
The Company's China-based subsidiaries and related entities are required to make appropriations of retained earnings for certain non-distributable reserve funds.
Pursuant to the China Foreign Investment Enterprises laws, the Company's China-based subsidiaries, are required to make appropriations from their after-tax profit as determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the PRC (the "after-tax-profit under PRC GAAP") to a general non-distributable reserve fund. Each year, at least 10% of each entities after-tax-profit under PRC GAAP is required to be set aside as a general reserve fund until the fund equals 50% of the registered capital of the applicable entity.
The statutory reserve fund is restricted as to use and can only be used to set-off against losses, expansion of production and operations and increasing registered capital of the respective company. The fund is not allowed to be transferred to the Company in terms of cash dividends, loans or advances, nor is it allowed for distribution except under liquidation.
The required transfer to the statutory reserve fund was $276,438 and $172,666, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period presented have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.
3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In April 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).'' This guidance supersedes current guidance on revenue recognition in Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition.'' In addition, there are disclosure requirements related to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No.2015-14 to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities by one year. For public business entities that follow U.S. GAAP, the deferral results in the new revenue standard are being effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (ASU 2015-17), which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. This accounting standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-16: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments ("ASU 2015-16"), which eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. ASU 2015-16 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. This accounting standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. The amendment in this ASU defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities for one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. This accounting standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)
In March 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2015-03 – Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30). This ASU addressed the simplification of debt issuance costs presentation by presenting debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt, consistent with debt discounts or premiums. This accounting standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2015-01 – Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20). This ASU addressed the simplification of income statement presentation by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. This accounting standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation
The Company records its investment in its subsidiaries under the equity method of accounting. Such investments are presented as "Investment in subsidiaries" on the condensed balance sheet and the subsidiaries' profits are presented as "Share of earnings from investment in subsidiaries" in the condensed statement of income.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. The parent only financial information has been derived from the Company's consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements.
There were no cash transactions in the US parent company during the three months ended June 30, 2016.
Restricted Net Assets
Under PRC laws and regulations, the Company's PRC subsidiaries are restricted in their ability to transfer certain of their net assets to the Company in the form of dividend payments, loans or advances. The restricted net assets of the Company's PRC subsidiaries amounted to approximately $11,050,554 as of March 31, 2016.
The Company's operations and revenues are conducted and generated in the PRC, and all of the Company's revenues being earned and currency received are denominated in RMB. RMB is subject to the foreign exchange control regulations in China, and, as a result, the Company may be unable to distribute any dividends outside of China due to PRC foreign exchange control regulations that restrict the Company's ability to convert RMB into US Dollars.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On June 27, 2016, the Company issued a notice to redeem the notes convertible into 750,000 and 6,750,000 shares of Australian Winha in accordance with the convertible note subscription agreements signed between the noteholders and the Company on September 1, 2015 and December 17, 2015. The principal and interest were paid to the noteholders on July 13, 2016.
In July 2016, the Company entered into agreements to lease approximately 117 acres of farm land from three individuals. The leases have a term of ten years, expiring in July 2026, and provide for annual payment of RMB735,880 (approximately USD$110,750), and a onetime payment for the crop that had been planted on the land, totaling RMB6,589,000 (approximately USD$992,000). The Company also entered into agreements to lease approximately 11 acres of farm land from another three individuals for the term of one year expiring in July 2017, with an annual payment of RMB1,458,850 (approximately USD$223,600).
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto. This section includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.
Events Affecting Consolidation
We operate our business in China through Zhongshan Winha. We expect that virtually all of our revenue will be derived from Zhongshan Winha. On August 1, 2013, our subsidiary, Shenzhen Winha, entered into a set of contractual agreements with Zhongshan Winha and its equity owners, including an exclusive business cooperation agreement, exclusive option agreement, loan agreement, share pledge agreement, power of attorney and spousal consents. Shenzhen Winha, through these arrangements, assumed operational control of Zhongshan Winha and became the primary beneficiary of those operations. As a result, Zhongshan Winha was considered a variable interest entity with respect to Shenzhen Winha and, as a result, from August 1, 2013 through November 27, 2015, the financial statements of Zhongshan Winha were consolidated with our Company's financial statements.
The control of our operations through these contractual arrangements created risks for our business. If Zhongshan Winha and its shareholders failed to perform their obligations under the contractual arrangements, or if we suffered significant delay or other obstacles in the process of enforcing these contractual arrangements, or if legal remedies under PRC laws that we relied on were not available or effective, our business and operations could have been severely disrupted, which could have materially and adversely affected our results of operations and our ability to generate revenue in the PRC and could have damaged our reputation. To avoid such risk, on November 27, 2015, Shenzhen Winha exercised its option to purchase the registered equity of Zhongshan Winha from the shareholders of Zhongshan Winha. Upon the exercise of the purchase option, Zhongshan Winha became a wholly owned subsidiary of Shenzhen Winha. The financial statements of Zhongshan Winha remain consolidated with our Company's financial statements, but now as a subsidiary.
In May 2015, C&V International Company Limited ("C&V"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Winha International, set up a wholly owned subsidiary, Australia Winha Commerce and Trade Limited ("Australian Winha"). In February 2016, 100% of the outstanding shares of Sanmei International Investment Co., Ltd ("Sanmei Investment"), a company incorporated in Anguilla on April 23, 2013, were transferred to Winha International Group Limited. Winha International Group Limited then transferred the shares of its wholly owned subsidiary, C&V, to Sanmei Investment.
In March 2016, C&V transferred the shares of Australian Winha to Sanmei Investment. Subsequently, Sanmei Investment transferred 29% of the outstanding shares of Australian Winha to persons and entities who were either affiliates of, or consultants to, the Company (5% to Beijing Ruihua Future, 5% to Donghe Group, 7% to Zhuowei Zhong, 5% to Xinxi Zhong, 4% to Zhifei Huang and 3% to Chun Yan Winne Lam), and transferred 11% of the shares of Australian Winha to persons who are suppliers to Zhongshan Winha. The effect of above transaction reduced the interest of the Company in its Australian subsidiary, and indirectly in Zhongshan Winha, by 40%.

Revenue
We commenced operations during the quarter ended June 30, 2014. During the year ended March 31, 2015, our revenue increased to $9,023,642 due to the opening of new retail stores and the initiation of custom-made sales. Our revenue continued to grow during fiscal year 2016, as recognition of our brand developed and we introduced additional revenue streams. During the year ended March 31, 2016, our total revenue increased to $42,442,485. In particular, during the year ended March 31, 2016 we sold 26 franchises and recognized revenue of $3,055,692, consisting of upfront franchise fees and monthly administrative fees.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we had total revenue of $13,917,834, representing an increase of 147% when compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The following table shows the components of revenue:
| | June 30, | | | June 30, | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Retail stores | | $ | 2,608,926 | | | $ | 1,032,229 | |
Custom-made | | | 9,816,177 | | | | 4,608,664 | |
Franchises | | | 1,492,731 | | | | - | |
Total | | $ | 13,917,834 | | | $ | 5,640,893 | |
Gross profit
Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 increased to $7,495,098 due to the dramatic increase in revenue. Our gross margin increased to 54% as compared to the 47% gross margin that we realized during the quarter ended June 30, 2015. However, gross profit, excluding franchise-related revenue, was only 43% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The reduction reflected the increased portion of our revenue attributable to our retail stores, which have lower margins than our custom-made sales. We expect our gross margin to change as additional revenue streams are added, although the direction will depend on the relative volume of high-margin revenue sources (e.g. custom made sales, franchising, online and mobile) versus lower margin sources (e.g. retail stores).
Operating Expenses
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses represent the labor cost for our marketing department and retail stores, as well as expenses directly related to our marketing efforts. Selling expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $560,612, an increase of 181% over the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Selling expenses increased primarily due to the expanded operations of our retail stores and the addition of a second restaurant in fiscal year 2016. We expect our selling expenses to increase in proportion to the number of additional retail stores and restaurants that we open.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 totaled $531,886, representing an increase of 48% from quarter ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to the expansion of our overall operations, including the introduction of franchise operations and a second restaurant. As we expand our operations, particularly as we initiate our multi-faceted marketing program, we expect general and administrative expenses to increase, reflecting the staffing requirements of more complex and expanded operations.
Net Income
After taking into account insignificant amounts of other income, we recorded pre-tax net income of $6,406,682 and $2,070,958 for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Corporate income in China is subject to income tax at a rate of 25%. Our provision for income taxes was $1,531,143 and $555,537 for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, primarily representing the enterprise income tax on the income of our Chinese operating entity. After deducting the income tax, we had a net income before non-controlling interests of $4,875,539 and $1,515,421, respectively, during the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. However, because of the 40% of Australian Winha that we do not own, we are required to allocate 40% of the net income (loss) realized by Australian Winha and its subsidiaries to the non-controlling interest. As a result, net income attributed to the non-controlling interests was $1,950,216 and $0 for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our net income attributable to the common stockholders of the Company (i.e. after the allocation to the non-controlling interest) was $2,925,323, representing $0.06 per share and $1,515,421, representing $0.03 per share, for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Our local currency, Renminbi, is our functional currency. All asset and liability accounts have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts have been translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Statements of income and other comprehensive income and cash flows have been translated using the average exchange rate for the periods presented. Adjustments resulting from the translation of our consolidated financial statements are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss). Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. For the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, foreign currency translation adjustments of $(925,980) and $100,082, respectively, have been reported as other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income (loss), respectively. The significant increase in the translation adjustments was due to the PRC's devaluation of its currency. Further devaluation could occur.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalent of $26,524,122, compared to $21,548,630 as of March 31, 2016. The increase of $4,975,492 in cash was approximately equal to our net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:
| | Quarter ended June 30, 2016 | | | Quarter ended June 30, 2015 | |
Net cash provided by operating activities | | $ | 5,929,199 | | | $ | 1,242,698 | |
Net cash (used in) investing activities | | $ | (2,265 | ) | | $ | (317,732 | ) |
Net cash provided by financing activities | | $ | 79,989 | | | $ | 482,434 | |
Our operations yielded $4,875,539 in net income and provided cash totaling $5,929,199, as the net income was supplemented by a $328,798 decrease in our inventory balance and an increase of $484,676 in our advance from customers balance.
As noted, we received loans of $103,382 from a stockholder who paid our professional fees in the United States and in Australia during the quarter ended June 30, 2016. With a portion of those loans, we paid Australian listing expenses of $23,393, which is classified as a financing activity. As a result, net cash provided by financing activities for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $79,989. For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, a capital contribution to our Chinese operating company of $489,601, partially offset by a repayment of shareholder loan of $7,167, resulted in net cash provided by financing activities of $482,434.
With the cash from operations and financing activities, we used only $2,265 to purchase fixed assets during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, which was classified as cash used in investing activities. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, we purchased fixed assets for $304,650 and spent $13,082 to further develop our website, resulting in total cash used in investing activities of $317,732.
We had working capital of approximately $20,000,000 as of June 30, 2016, an increase of approximately $4,000,000 compared to March 31, 2016. The increase was principally the result of the cash provided by operations.
Our debt obligations at June 30, 2016 consisted of $580,581 in stockholder loans payable on demand and convertible debt of $5,276,350 issued by Australian Winha, which matures during the next four months. Since our cash balance far exceeds our debt obligations, we believe that our capital resources will be adequate to fund our Company's operations for at least the next 12 mont
hs.
Transfer of Cash
According to PRC laws and regulations, in the event that we need to finance our PRC operations in the future, we are allowed to provide funding by means of capital contributions to Shenzhen Winha and/or loans to Zhongshan Winha. The loans would be subject to applicable government registration and approval requirements. We may not be able to complete the registration or obtain these government approvals on a timely basis. If we fail to complete such registration or receive such approvals, our ability to finance our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.
Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us. However, payment of dividends is subject to applicable regulatory requirements. Furthermore, cash transfers from our PRC subsidiaries to their parent companies outside of China are subject to PRC government control of currency conversion. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived by our PRC subsidiaries. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange ("SAFE") by complying with certain procedural requirements. As profits and dividends are current account items, any revenue generated in the PRC may be paid to shareholders outside of the PRC as profit or dividends without prior approval from SAFE so long as we comply with certain procedural requirements. However, the PRC government may also, at its discretion, restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders. Our inability to obtain the requisite approvals for converting RMB into foreign currencies, any delays in receiving such approvals or any future restrictions on currency exchanges may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiary to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy its foreign currency denominated obligations.
The Company currently intends to reinvest its earnings in expanding its operations and currently has no plans to pay any dividends.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In preparing our financial statements we are required to formulate working policies regarding valuation of our assets and liabilities and to develop estimates of those values. In our preparation of the financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, there were no estimates made which were (a) subject to a high degree of uncertainty and (b) material to our results.
Impact of Accounting Pronouncements
There were no recent accounting pronouncements that have or will have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Off Balance Sheet Transactions
We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule13a-15(e) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission) as of June 30, 2016. The evaluation revealed that there are material weaknesses in our disclosure controls, specifically:
· | We have not achieved the desired level of corporate governance with regard to identifying and measuring the risk of material misstatement. Because of our limited internal resources, we lack key monitoring mechanisms such as independent directors and audit committee to oversee and monitor the Company's risk management, business strategies and financial reporting procedures. |
| |
· | We have not designed and implemented controls to maintain appropriate segregation of duties in our manual and computer-based business processes which could affect the Company's purchasing controls, the limits on the delegation of authority for expenditures, and the proper review of manual journal entries. |
| |
· | Our accounting department personnel have limited knowledge and experience in US GAAP and reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). To remediate the material weakness, the management has hired an external consultant with extensive experience in US GAAP and reports to the SEC, who is responsible for assisting the Company with (i) the preparation of its financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and (ii) its periodic reports with the SEC. |
Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's system of disclosure controls and procedures was not effective as of June 30, 2016.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
