JOWAY HEALTH INDUSTRIES GROUP INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Joway Health Industries Group Inc. (referred to herein as “Joway Health”), its subsidiaries, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where Joway Health is deemed the primary beneficiary. Joway Health, its subsidiaries and VIEs are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, “we” and “us”.

Joway Health (formerly G2 Ventures, Inc.) was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas on March 21, 2003. On September 21, 2010, Joway Health entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange”) with the sole stockholder of Dynamic Elite International Limited. As a result of the Share Exchange, Dynamic Elite became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Joway Health and the stockholders of Dynamic Elite acquired approximately 76.08% of the issued and outstanding stock of Joway Health. The share exchange transaction resulted in the shareholders of Dynamic Elite acquiring a majority voting interest in Joway Health. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America require that the company whose shareholders retain the majority interest in the combined business be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. The reverse acquisition process utilizes the capital structure of Joway Health and the assets and liabilities of Dynamic Elite recorded at historical cost. On December 22, 2010, Joway Health changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from the State of Texas to the State of Nevada.

Dynamic Elite International Limited (referred to herein as “Dynamic Elite”) was incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on June 2, 2010 as a limited liability company (a BVI company). Dynamic Elite engages in manufacturing and distributing tourmaline products in China. Its wholly owned subsidiary, Tianjin Junhe Management Consulting Co., Ltd. was incorporated on September 15, 2010 in Tianjin, People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Other than the equity interest in Junhe Consulting, Dynamic Elite does not own any assets or conduct any operations.

Tianjin Junhe Management Consulting Co., Ltd. (referred to herein as “Junhe Consulting”) conducts its business through Tianjin Joway Shengshi Group Co., Ltd. that is consolidated as a variable interest entity.

Tianjin Joway Shengshi Group Co., Ltd. (referred to herein as “Joway Shengshi”) was incorporated in PRC on May 17, 2007. Joway Shengshi is currently owned 99% by Jinghe Zhang, the Company’s current CEO and President and 1% by Song Baogang. Joway Shengshi engages in manufacturing and distributing tourmaline products in China. Shenyang Joway Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., Tianjin Joway Decoration Engineering Co., Ltd. and Tianjin Oriental Shengtang Trading Import & Export Trading Co., Ltd are subsidiaries of Joway Shengshi.

Shenyang Joway Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to herein as “Joway Technology”) was originally named Liaoning Joway Technology Engineering Co., Ltd. which was incorporated on March 28, 2007 in PRC. The name was changed on June 22, 2011. It engages in the distribution of Tourmaline Activated Water Machines and the construction of Tourmaline Wellness Houses. Prior to July 25, 2010, Joway Shengshi owned 90.91% of Joway Technology. Joway Shengshi entered into a share acquisition agreement with Jingyun Chen, another stockholder of Joway Technology on July 25, 2010 to acquire the remaining 9.09% of the share of Joway Technology. As a result of the share acquisition, Joway Technology became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Joway Shengshi.

Tianjin Joway Decoration Engineering Co., Ltd. (referred to herein as “Joway Decoration”) was incorporated on April 22, 2009 in PRC. It engages in the distribution of Tourmaline Activated Water Machines, Tourmaline Wellness House for family use and Tourmaline Wellness House materials. Prior to July 9, 2010, Joway Shengshi owned 90% of Joway Decoration. Joway Shengshi entered into a share acquisition agreement with Jingyun Chen, another stockholder of Joway Decoration on July 9, 2010 to acquire the remaining 10% of the shares of Joway Decoration. As a result of the share acquisition, Joway Decoration became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Joway Shengshi. Jingyun Chen is currently the General Manager of Joway Decoration.

Table of Contents

On September 16, 2010, prior to the share exchange, Junhe Consulting entered into a series of contractual agreements (the “Contractual Agreements”) with Joway Shengshi and Joway Shengshi’s owners. The following is a brief description of the Contractual Agreements entered into between Junhe Consulting and Joway Shengshi or Joway Shengshi’s owners:

1. Consulting Services Agreement. Pursuant to the consulting services agreement between Junhe Consulting and Joway Shengshi, Junhe Consulting has the right to advise, consult, manage and operate Joway Shengshi, and collect and own all of the net profits of the Operating Entities.

2. Operating Agreement. Under the operating agreement between Junhe Consulting and Joway Shengshi, Junhe Consulting has the right to recommend director candidates and appoint the senior executives of Joway Shengshi, approve any transactions that may materially affect the assets, liabilities, rights or operations of Joway Shengshi, and guarantee the contractual performance by Joway Shengshi of any agreements with third parties, in exchange for a pledge by Joway Shengshi of its accounts receivable and assets.

3. Voting Rights Proxy Agreement. Under the voting rights proxy agreement between Joway Shengshi’s owners and Junhe Consulting, the owners of Joway Shengshi have vested their collective voting control over Joway Shengshi to Junhe Consulting and will only transfer their respective equity interests in Joway Shengshi to Junhe Consulting or its designee.

4. Option Agreement. Under the option agreement between Joway Shengshi’s owners and Junhe Consulting, the owners of Joway Shengshi have granted Junhe Consulting the irrevocable right and option to acquire all of their equity interests in Joway Shengshi.

5. Equity Pledge Agreement. Under the equity pledge agreement between Joway Shengshi’s owners and Junhe Consulting, the owners of Joway Shengshi have pledged all of their rights, titles and interests in Joway Shengshi to Junhe Consulting to guarantee Joway Shengshi’s performance of its obligations under the Consulting Services Agreement.

As a result of the Contractual Agreements, Joway Shengshi is effectively a variable interest entity of Junhe Consulting. Accordingly, the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary Junhe Consulting, consolidates Joway Shengshi’s results of operation, assets and liabilities in its financial statements.

In connection with the Share Exchange and as consideration for entering into the VIE Agreements the shareholders of Joway Shengshi, entered into a Call Option Agreement with the sole shareholder of Crystal Globe (the controlling shareholder of Dynamic Elite), pursuant to which the shareholders of Joway Shengshi have the right to purchase up to 100% of the shares of Crystal Globe at an aggregate price equal to $20,000 over the next three years. The Call Option vests as to 34% of the shares of Crystal Globe on April 2, 2011 and as to 33% on April 2 of 2012 and 2013. As a result, the shareholders of Joway Shengshi will become the indirect beneficial owners of the shares of the Company held by Crystal Globe.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The Company’s functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”); however, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars (“USD”). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to make the financial statements not misleading.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and the footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 which was filed on March 30, 2012.

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and controlled VIEs. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, “Consolidation”, Joway Shengshi, as a VIE of Junhe Consulting, has been consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. Joway Shengshi’s sales are included in the Company’s total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with the Company’s, and the Company’s net income includes all of Joway Shengshi’s net income.

Based on the various Contractual Agreements, the Company is able to exercise control over the VIEs, and to obtain in full the economic benefits. Accordingly, the non-controlling interests have no economic interest in the VIEs.

Foreign Currency Translation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in USD. The functional currency of the Company is RMB. The consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at period-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Equity accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the equity transactions occurred. The resulting transaction adjustments are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net income.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC, and no deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

   

Level 1 – defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2 – defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

 

   

Level 3 – defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, other receivable, accounts payable, other payable, and amounts due from related parties generally approximate their fair market values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For financial reporting purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at any point during the period of the financial statements presented. Balances at financial institutions or state-owned banks within the PRC are not covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of the accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, the Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts.

Table of Contents

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, as determined by the specific identification method on contract level (for each individual contract, inventories cost flow are determined by weighted-average method), or the net realizable value, which is determined on selling prices less any further costs expected to be incurred for completion and disposal. The Company regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine whether a valuation allowance is required. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, the Company has no reserves for inventories.

Advances to suppliers

Advances to suppliers represent the cash paid in advance for inventory items or construction in progress. The advance payments are meant to ensure preferential pricing and delivery. The amounts advanced under such arrangements totaled $436,338 and $377,028 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Investments

Investments in which the Company has a 20% to 50% interest are accounted for by the equity method. Under the equity method the carrying value of the investment is adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share of the investee’s income or loss.

Investments in which the Company has less than a 20% interest are accounted for by the cost method. Under the cost method, investments are carried at cost and income is recorded when dividends are received from those investments.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and include expenditures that substantially increase the useful lives of existing assets.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

Building

   20 years

Operating Equipment

   10 years

Office furniture and equipment

   3 or 5 years

Vehicles

   10 years

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to expenses as incurred. Significant renewals and betterment to buildings and equipment are capitalized. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the useful life or the life of the lease.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets mainly consist of land use rights. All land located in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to any individual or company. The land use rights granted to the Company are being amortized using the straight-line method over the lease term of 50 years. Other intangible assets are software programs that are amortized over their estimated useful life of 10 years.

Table of Contents

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed annually as to whether their carrying value has become impaired, pursuant to the guidelines established in FASB ASC 360. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from the related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation and amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. The Company did not record any impairment loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

With respect to sales of product to both franchisee and non-franchisee customers, the Company prepares product shipments upon the receipt of a customer’s purchase order. Sales prices are based on fixed price lists that are different depending on whether the price list is for a franchisee customer or for non-franchisee customers. The Company recognizes revenue when the product is shipped. The Company does not sell product to any customers with a right of return as defined in ASC 605-15-25-4. Sales are presented net of value added tax (VAT).

For Tourmaline Wellness House sales, the Company recognizes revenue under the completed contract method. Customers contact the Company with requests to construct a Wellness House. The Company and the customer enter into a contract, at which time the customer pays a deposit of at least one-half of the sales price. A contract is considered completed when all significant costs have been incurred and the project has been accepted by the customer. The contracts have a place for the customer to sign indicating their acceptance of the completed Wellness House. At this time the customer will also pay any remaining balance on the contract. The Company recognizes the full contract revenue at this point. Contract costs consist primarily of materials and labor costs. The construction period of a Wellness House generally does not exceed five days.

Shipping costs

Shipping costs are included in selling expenses and totaled $8,178 and $12,036 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law and associated legislations of the PRC. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes”, which is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. ASC 740 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, of which the timing and amount are uncertain.

According to ASC 740, the evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition.

As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no deferred tax assets or liabilities.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 changes the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements to ensure consistency between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-04 also expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This new guidance is to be applied prospectively. ASU 2011-04 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not materially expand its consolidated financial statement footnote disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which amends the current comprehensive income guidance. This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. Instead, we must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which amends the guidance in ASC 350-20, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Goodwill”. Under ASU 2011-08, entities have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit when testing goodwill for impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined, based on qualitative factors, to be more likely than not less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit, then entities are required to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Overview

General

We develop, manufacture, market, distribute, and sell products, including knit goods, daily healthcare and personal care products, and wellness house and activated water machine products, that are coated, embedded or filled with tourmaline. Most of our products, such as clothing, bedding, and mattresses are purchased as finished products which we then coat and/or infuse with liquid or granular tourmaline using one or more of our manufacturing techniques. We conduct all of our operations in Tianjin City, China and distribute most of our products to more than 200 franchisees in China. Our franchisees, in turn, sell the products to their customers. All of our revenues to date have been generated by sales to customers located in the PRC.

All of our operations are conducted through Joway Shengshi and its three subsidiaries, Joway Technology, Joway Decoration, and Shengtang Trading. Joway Shengshi engages in the manufacturing and distribution of tourmaline health-related products such as knit goods, and daily healthcare and personal care products. Joway Technology and Joway Decoration engage in the manufacturing and distribution of activated water machines and wellness houses. We utilize our Shengtang Trading subsidiary to purchase raw materials, which are then sold to Joway Shengshi and Joway Decoration.

Beginning in 2009, we began to develop a franchise network to distribute our healthcare knit goods, daily healthcare products and personal care products. Through these franchisees, we were able to significantly increase sales of our healthcare knit goods segment and daily healthcare and personal care segment. In 2010, we began distributing our wellness house and activated water machine products through our franchise network.

For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 Compared to March 31, 2011

Revenue. Revenue was $790,632 compared to $1,699,038 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 (the “Prior Period”), a decrease of $908,406 or 53.5%. This decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in revenue from healthcare knit goods segment. Our main products are mostly durable consumables, including mattress products the useful life of which is typically three or more years. In 2010 most of our franchisees were new customers and had high initial demand for our main products. Our franchisees’ demand for our products may have been affected because of the large amount of our main products they purchased in 2010. Aimed at this situation, we are developing more fast consumables. For instance, we introduced a line of cosmetics and edible health products in December 2011. In addition, we strengthened the enforcement of the terms of our franchise agreements and policies in 2011 after focusing mostly on increasing franchise stores in 2010. As a result, the number of our franchisees increased more slowly in 2011. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, China’s gross domestic product increase by 8.1% and 9.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The slowdown in the economy of China has also affected the purchases of our products in general.

Revenue from the healthcare knit goods segment decreased by $755,699, or 68.4% to $349,918 from $1,105,617 for the Prior Period. This was mainly due to the decrease in sales of our mattress products. The sale of our mattress products decreased by 75%, from $0.8 million for the Prior Period to $0.2 million. Our mattress products are durable consumables, and our revenues may have been impacted by the large orders of this product from our franchisees in 2010.

Table of Contents

Revenue from daily healthcare and personal care products decreased by $167,349 or 53%, to $148,436 from $315,785 for the Prior Period. This was mainly due to a $0.1 million of decrease in sales of our scarf products. At the end of 2011, we introduced a line of cosmetics and edible health products to develop our fast consumable products. Our cosmetics and newly introduced edible health products contributed a $0.02 million of revenue.

Revenue from wellness houses and activated water machines increased by $14,642 or 5.3%, from $277,636 for the Prior Period to $292,278. This was primarily due to a $0.4 million of increase in sales of Foot Sauna Bucket, which was newly introduced in February 2011 and became our best-selling product in 2012.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold was $195,381 compared to $355,406 for the Prior Period, a decrease of $160,025 or 45%. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in sales.

Cost of goods sold for the healthcare knit goods segment decreased to $74,981 from $202,519 for the Prior Period, a decrease of $127,538 or 63%. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the cost of our mattress products as a result of the decrease in sales.

Cost of goods sold for the daily healthcare and personal care segment decreased to $40,307 from $68,393 for the Prior Period, a decrease of $28,086 or 41.1%. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in the cost of our scarf products as a result of the decrease in sales.

Cost of goods sold for our wellness house and activated water machine segment decreased to $80,093 from $84,494 for the Prior Period, a decrease of $4,401 or 5.2%. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in cost of our activated water machine as a result of the decrease in sales.

Gross profit. Our gross profit decreased by $748,381 or 55.7% to $595,251, compared to $1,343,632 for the Prior Period. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in gross profit for healthcare knit goods segment and daily healthcare and personal care segment. Our gross margin was 75.3%, compared to 79.1% for the Prior Period. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease of gross margin in daily healthcare and personal care segment.

Gross profit of the healthcare knit goods segment decreased by $628,161 or 69.6% to $274,937 compared to $903,098 for the Prior Period. This decrease was mainly due to the decreased sales of our mattress products. The gross margin of our healthcare knit goods segment declined from 81.7% for the Prior Period to 78.6%. This decrease was mainly due to the increase of sales in our products which have lower gross margins.

Gross profit of the daily healthcare and personal care segment decreased by $139,263 or 56.3% to $108,129 compared to $247,392 for the Prior Period. This decrease was primarily due to the decreased sales of our scarf products. The gross margin of our daily healthcare and personal care segment declined from 78.3% for the Prior Period to 72.8%. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in sales of our scarf products, which have higher gross margins.

Gross profit of the wellness house and activated water machine segment increased by $19,043 or 9.9% to $212,185 compared to $193,142 for the Prior Period. This increase was mainly due to an increase in sales of Foot Sauna Bucket. The gross margin of our wellness house and activated water machine segment increased from 69.6% for the Prior Period to 72.6%. This increase was mainly due to a decline in the purchase costs of our wellness house for family use.

Operating expenses. Our total operating expenses consist of sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. Our total operating expenses decreased by $111,446, or 15.8%, from $705,744 for the Prior Period to $594,298. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in entertainment expenses and audit and attorney fees. Operating expenses for healthcare knit goods segment decreased by $246,956 or 48.4% to $263,025 from $509,981 for the Prior Period. Operating expenses for daily healthcare and personal care segment decreased by $34,087 or 23.4% to $111,575 from $145,662 for the Prior Period. Operating expenses for our wellness house and activated water machine segment increased by $169,597 or 338.5% to $219,698 from $50,101 for the Prior Period. This increase was due to increased marketing and management expenses in this segment. Beginning in 2011 we have been increasing our marketing and sales efforts on this segment.

Table of Contents

Income from operations. As a result of the foregoing, our income from operations was $953 compared to $637,888 for the Prior Period, a decrease of $636,935. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in sales.

Income taxes. Our income tax expenses were $3,448 compared to $222,376 for the Prior Period. This was mainly due to the decrease in income before income tax.

Net income. Our net income was $7,514 compared to $777,730 for the Prior Period. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in sales.

Franchising

We enter into franchise agreements to develop retail outlets for our products. These agreements provide that franchisees will sell our products exclusively. In exchange, we provide them with geographic exclusivity, discounted products, training, and support. The agreements also require franchisees to adhere to certain standards of product merchandising, promotion, and presentment. The agreements do not require the franchisees to purchase any minimum levels of product, but do require that they make at least one purchase during each year. The agreements are generally for terms of three years and are renewable at the mutual agreement of both parties. The Agreements are cancelable at our discretion if franchisees violate the terms of the agreements.

As of March 31, 2012, the total unpaid principal balance due Jinghe Zhang for advances made to Joway Shengshi was $57,697.

Shenyang Joway ceased operations at the end of 2009, although it still exists as a legal entity.

The Company has sufficient liquidity to meet the Company’s operating cash needs over the next 12 months if Mr. Zhang and Shenyang Joway were to demand immediate repayment of the remaining balance under these loans and no longer wish to provide future loans to us.

STATUTORY RESERVES

Pursuant to the laws and regulations of the PRC, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are required to allocate a portion of their after-tax income to statutory reserves funds. The minimum statutory reserves allocation is 10% of after-tax income until the reserves reach 50% of the entities’ registered capital or members’ equity. The reserve funds are not transferable to the Company in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. Thus, the reserve funds are not available for distribution except in liquidation. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had allocated $354,052 to statutory reserves.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting policies which require management to make significant estimates and judgments. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are

Table of Contents

believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the following reflect the more critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Joway Health, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and controlled VIEs. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810 “Consolidation,” Joway Shengshi, as a VIE of Junhe Consulting, have been consolidated in our financial statements. Joway Shengshi’s sales are included in our total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with ours, and our net income includes all of Joway Shengshi’s net income. Based on the various VIE Agreements, we are able to exercise control over the VIEs, and to obtain the full economic benefits. Accordingly, the non–controlling interests have no economic interest in the VIEs.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

With respect to sales of product to both franchisee and non-franchisee customers, we prepare product shipment upon the receipt of a customer’s purchase order. Sales prices are based on fixed price lists that are different depending on whether the price list is for franchisee customers or for non-franchisee customers. We recognize revenue when the product is shipped. We do not sell product to any customers with a right of return as defined in ASC 605-15-25-4. Sales are presented net of value added tax (VAT).

We recognize revenue on the sale of our wellness houses under the completed contract method. At the time when we enter into a contract with a customer to build a wellness house, the customer pays a deposit of at least one-half of the sales price. We consider the contract to be completed when all significant costs have been incurred and the customer accepts the project in writing by signing in the appropriate place on the contract. At this time the customer will also pay any remaining balance on the contract. We recognize the full contract revenue at this point. Contract costs consist primarily of materials and labor costs. The construction period of a wellness house generally does not exceed five days.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. We provide reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of the accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customers’ credit worthiness, current economic trends, and changes in customer’s payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, as determined by the specific identification method on contract level (for each individual contract, inventories cost flow is determined by weighted-average method), or the net realizable value, which is determined on selling prices less any further costs expected to be incurred for completion and disposal. Management regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine whether a valuation allowance is required.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and include expenditures that substantially increase the useful lives of existing assets.

Table of Contents

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

Building

   20 years

Operating Equipment

   10 years

Office furniture and equipment

   3 or 5 years

Vehicles

   10 years

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to expenses as incurred. Significant renewals and betterment to buildings and equipment are capitalized. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the useful life or the life of the lease.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 changes the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements to ensure consistency between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-04 also expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This new guidance is to be applied prospectively. ASU 2011-04 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not materially expand our consolidated financial statement footnote disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which amends the current comprehensive income guidance. This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. Instead, we must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which amends the guidance in ASC 350-20, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Goodwill.” Under ASU 2011-08, entities have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit when testing goodwill for impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined, based on qualitative factors, to be more likely than not less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit, then entities are required to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in SEC Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. The purpose of this evaluation is to determine if, as of Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively such that the information, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Table of Contents

Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, based on the material weakness described below:

We did not have sufficient skilled accounting personnel that are either qualified as Certified Public Accountants in the U.S. or that have received education from U.S. institutions or other educational programs that would provide enough relevant education relating to U.S. GAAP. The Company’s CFO and Financial Manager have worked for U.S. listed companies but have limited experience with U.S. GAAP and are not U.S. Certified Public Accountants. In addition, our Internal Audit Manager is not a U.S. Certified Public Accountant, has not attended U.S. institutions or extended educational programs that would provide enough of the relevant education relating to U.S. GAAP, and has limited experience with U.S. GAAP. Further, our operating subsidiaries are based in China, and in accordance with PRC laws and regulations, are required to comply with PRC GAAP, rather than U.S. GAAP. Thus, the accounting skills and understanding necessary to fulfill the requirements of U.S. GAAP-based reporting, including the preparation of financial statements and consolidation, are inadequate, and determined to be a material weakness.

Remediation Initiative

 

   

We will develop a comprehensive training and development plan, for our finance, accounting and internal audit personnel, including our Chief Financial Officer, Financial Manager, Internal Audit Manager and others, in the principles and rules of U.S. GAAP, SEC reporting requirements and the application thereof.

 

   

We will design and implement a program to provide ongoing company-wide training regarding the Company’s internal controls, with particular emphasis on our finance and accounting staff.

 

   

We have implemented an internal review process over financial reporting to review all recent accounting pronouncements and to verify that the accounting treatment identified in such report have been fully implemented and confirmed by our internal control department. In the future, we will continue to improve our ongoing review and supervision of our internal control over financial reporting.

We believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the significant deficiencies identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Since March 2012, we have been in the process of seeking a professional training institution to carry out our internal control training in order to meet the U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements. We have discussed with some institutions and plan to choose one institution to carry out our internal training starting in June, 2012.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting for the three months ended March 31, 2012 that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
