ZHONG SEN INTERNATIONAL TEA COMPANY
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF NOVEMBER 30, 2012
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and item 310 under subpart A of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal occurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading, have been included. Operating results for the six months ended November 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending May 31, 2013. 
 
Organization
 
Zhong Sen International Tea Company (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 30, 2008, in the State of Florida. The Company has the principal business objective of providing sales and marketing consulting services to small to medium sized Chinese tea producing companies who wish to export and distribute high quality Chinese tea products worldwide. The Company commenced business activities in August, 2008, when it entered into a related party Sales and Marketing Agreement with Yunnan Zhongsen Group, Ltd (YZG) (a/k/a Yunnan Zhongsen Commercial Forest Plantation Group Inc., a/k/a Yunnan Zhongsen Forest Co., Ltd.), a company located in Kunming, China, to provide sales and marketing consulting services for YZG’s tea and tea related business lines. 
 
Functional Currency
 
We reviewed the requirements as set forth in FASB ASC 830-10-55-4, "in those instances in which the indicators are mixed and the functional currency is not obvious, management's judgment will be required to determine the functional currency that most faithfully portrays the economic results of the entity's operations and thereby best achieves the objectives of foreign currency translation set forth in paragraph 830-10-10-2."  Paragraph 830-10-10-2 provides that the foreign currency translation must accurately reflect the reporting company's cash flows and equity when applying a rate change.   Both our functional and reporting currency is US Dollars. The Company uses the US Dollar as this is the economic environment of its operations. The Company maintains its bank account in US Dollars, pays invoices in US Dollars, and most agreements require the amounts to be settled in US Dollars. We therefore feel that the US Dollar is our functional currency.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the valuation of deferred taxes and the reserve for doubtful accounts.  Actual results could differ from those results.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue from marketing arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition.” In all cases, revenue is recognized at the time the commissions or fees have been earned, which is upon the completion of the sale and when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

 
6

 
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Credit Risk
 
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash accounts with maturities of 90 days or less and which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, as cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying balance sheet.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
The Company is required to estimate the collectability of its accounts receivable. The Company's reserve for doubtful accounts is estimated by management based on a review of historic losses and the age of existing receivables from specific customers. As of November 30, 2012 and May 31, 2012, the Company recorded a reserve for doubtful accounts of $32,640 and $32,640, respectively.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
During the six months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011 the Company recorded no sales and no changes to accounts receivable.  As of November 30, 2012 and May 31, 2012, accounts receivable has been fully reserved (see Accounts Receivable note above).
 
Stock Compensation
 
The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation for share based payments to employees.  The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505 for share based payments to Non-Employees
 
Segments
 
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.   
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments including accounts receivable, loans payable to shareholders, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.
  
Earnings Per Share
 
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” As of November 30, 2012 and November, 2011, there were no common share equivalents outstanding.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-11, Balance Sheet - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” to enhance disclosure requirements relating to the offsetting of assets and liabilities on an entity's balance sheet. The update requires enhanced disclosures regarding assets and liabilities that are presented net or gross in the statement of financial position when the right of offset exists, or that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement. The new disclosure requirements relating to this update are retrospective and effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The update only requires additional disclosures, as such, we do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In July, 2012, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2012-2, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other about Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” to reduce the cost and complexity of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by simplifying how an entity tests those assets for impairment and to improve consistency in impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories.  The amendments permit an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is greater than 50 percent more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test.  The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued.  Our Sales and Marketing Agreement with Related Party was fully impaired during the year ended May 31, 2011, and as such, we do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

The shares were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (See Note 3).
 
On April 11, 2012, the Company issued a one year 12% Convertible Debenture (“Debenture”) in the principal amount of $6,000, to an individual for the sole purpose of funding ongoing operations. The principal and accrued interest of the Debenture was convertible on October 11, 2012 into shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a conversion price of $0.01 per share.

NOTE 6 - GOING CONCERN
 
The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the six months ended November 30, 2012 the Company has a net loss of $92,698, a working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficiency of $254,167 and has an accumulated deficit of $12,416,256 as of November 30, 2012. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management continues to provide consulting services to the Company’s main customer and related party, YZG, in anticipation that economic conditions will improve and that YZG will be able to resume making payments under the Marketing Agreement. Management continues to actively seek additional sources of capital to fund current and future operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in continuing to raise additional capital and establish its business model. These unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
 
NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
On December 31, 2012, the exclusivity period related to the Letter of Intent was extended until January 31, 2013. (See Note 2)
 
On January 7, EverAsia Financial Group, Inc., a related party, loaned the Company $5,000 to fund ongoing operations.  The note is interest free and is payable on demand.

Item 2.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
 
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 relating to future events or our future performance. Actual results may materially differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and uncertainties set forth in this prospectus. Although management believes that the assumptions made and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there is no assurance that the underlying assumptions will, in fact, prove to be correct or that actual results will not be different from expectations expressed in this report.
 
BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Zhong Sen International Tea Company (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 30, 2008, in the State of Florida. The Company has the principal business objective of providing sales and marketing consulting services to small to medium sized Chinese tea producing companies who wish to export and distribute high quality Chinese tea products worldwide. The Company commenced business activities in August 2008, when it entered into a related party Sales and Marketing Agreement with Yunnan Zhongsen Group, Ltd (“YZG”) , a related party company located in Kunming, China (the “YZG Agreement”), to provide sales and marketing consulting services for YZG’s tea and tea related business lines.  During the year ended May 31, 2009, the Company exited the development stage.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATION
 
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended November 30, 2012 as Compared to the Three Months ended November 30, 2011
 
Total Revenues

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
As of November 30, 2012, we have assets of $365, consisting of cash of $365, and total liabilities of $254,532, consisting of accounts payable of $254,532.  As compared to May 31, 2012 we had assets of $40 consisting of cash of $40 and total liabilities of $224,509, consisting of accounts payable of $223,637, notes payable from related party of $50, convertible debenture payable (net of discount) of $822.
  
Cash and cash equivalents from inception to date have been insufficient to cover our expenses. Current cash on hand is insufficient to support our operations for the next twelve months. Therefore, we will require additional funds to continue to implement and expand our business plan during the next twelve months.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS
 
Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is focused on the following primary objectives.
 
 
1.
Attempt to find additional customers to purchase tea products from our contracted supplier, Yunnan Zhongsen Group, Ltd.;
 
2.
Raise capital through private debt or equity offerings; and
 
3.
Identifying potential candidates for merger or acquisition opportunities
 
Subject to the requisite financing, we believe that we can complete the following objectives within the time period specified:
 
Supply Agreements

In August 2008, we entered into a related party agreement with Yunnan Zhongsen Group, Ltd., or YZG, a Chinese company located in Kunming, Yunnan Province, People’s Republic of China (the “YZG Agreement”), which caused us to become YZG’s exclusive sales and marketing agent worldwide. Under the YZG Agreement, we are to receive a commission from YZG of 20% of their global sales, payable each month based on their sales figures, however no commissions have been earned since 2010.  On August 29, 2008, the effective date of the transaction, we issued 831,667 shares to approximately 4,200 shareholders in exchange for the sales and marketing agreement. Additionally, our former sole director and officer named a new board of directors, and hired new executive officers, and resigned his positions at the Company.  Due to operational and cash flow issues with YZG, a related party and our sole customer, management has determined that future collections under our marketing agreement are doubtful and stopped recording sales in the fourth quarter of 2010 related to this agreement.  It is doubtful that YZG will ever be able to perform under the YZG Agreement again.

Sales and Marketing
 
All sales are generated by external sales representatives at our related party main supplier, YZG. The tea products are positioned as high-end luxury products.  The 3,000 year history of these limited production, highly prized tea products will be essential in positioning and in differentiating them from the current American and European viewpoint of commercially produced tea, as well as setting it apart from much of the other tea products offered throughout Asia. The history, culture and ritual surrounding the production of the tea leaf and the ritual of the service and presentation of this luxury item will be exploited and are critical to the positioning of the product.
 
Our company suggests both direct sales and indirect sales through channel marketing to our client as the methods of getting the product to the worldwide consumer. Direct sales can occur in person, via the phone, the Internet or by mail. Indirect, or channel sales typically refers to sales through a reseller. A reseller can order from us directly, or from a wholesale distributor.  In any case, our compensation is directly affected by our client’s sales volume.
 
We suggest to our client, YZG that they can minimize channel conflicts by employing one or more of the following strategies:
 
      Segmentation of the product line;
 
      Establishment of limited or exclusive territories;
 
      Design price differentiation from direct sales and channels sales providing a cost incentive for the consumer to purchase from the reseller;
 
      Establishment of rotating promotions for resellers; and/or
 
      Design a tiered system that would establish reseller levels rewarding higher volume resellers with improved margins.
 
Based on our recommendations, YZG established and manage their channel marketing program worldwide by establishing a competitive reseller program, recruiting resellers, preparing proper reseller collateral, creating reseller kits, managing the reseller database using Partner Relationship Management (PRM) software, ensuring proper merchandising, ensuring adequate stocking levels, providing reseller education and managing seeding programs. The channel program allows this company to produce a large volume of sales utilizing its existing human resources. Direct sales can be managed mostly by technology through applications available through the Internet, such as, on-line stores with credit card processing portals to accumulate sales orders from direct sales. The proper implementation of these programs effectively eliminates the need for the hiring of additional staff for a significant period of time by the use of technology and the multiplication of resources by contracting with distributors or other resellers.

Revenue Model

Our revenue model contemplates a single form of revenue, but from multiple sources. We anticipate earning our revenue based on the success of our sales and marketing efforts provided to our related party tea producer, YZG. We are to earn a percentage of sales directly related to our efforts, though no commissions have been earned since 2010.  Management has determined that future collections under our related party Sales and Marketing Agreement are doubtful and stopped recording sales in the fourth quarter of 2010 related to this agreement.
  
Acquisition or Merger Candidates

We will attempt to locate and negotiate with a business entity for a combination with us. The combination will normally take the form of a merger, stock- for-stock exchange or stock-for-assets exchange. In most instances the target company will wish to structure the business combination to be within the definition of a tax-free reorganization under Section 351 or Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in locating or negotiating with any target company.

Employees
 
As of November 30, 2012, we have no employees.  Our officers and directors contribute their services at no cost to the Company.
  
GOING CONCERN
 
As reflected in the accompanying unaudited financial statements, we have a net loss of $92,698, a working capital deficiency of $254,167 and an accumulated deficit of $12,416,256 as of November 30, 2012.  This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital and implement our business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.  In June, 2012, a related party contributed $13,000 to the Company, and in October, 2012, our President contributed $50,000 to the Company.
 
We believe that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement our strategic plans provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
 
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report. 
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
 
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-11, Balance Sheet - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” to enhance disclosure requirements relating to the offsetting of assets and liabilities on an entity's balance sheet. The update requires enhanced disclosures regarding assets and liabilities that are presented net or gross in the statement of financial position when the right of offset exists, or that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement. The new disclosure requirements relating to this update are retrospective and effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The update only requires additional disclosures, as such, we do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In July, 2012, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2012-2, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other about Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” to reduce the cost and complexity of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by simplifying how an entity tests those assets for impairment and to improve consistency in impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories.  The amendments permit an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is greater than 50 percent more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test.  The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued.  Our Sales and Marketing Agreement with Related Party was fully impaired during the year ended May 31, 2011, and as such, we do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
 
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (“SPE”s).
 
Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company.
 
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of continuing material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting.

As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2012, during the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2012, our management identified material weaknesses related to the lack of requisite U.S. GAAP expertise of our CFO. Additionally, we do not have an independent audit committee. This lack of expertise to prepare, evaluate and review our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP constitutes a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Until such time as we hire the proper internal accounting staff with the requisite U.S. GAAP experience, and we appoint qualified independent directors to the Board of Directors and audit committee, it is unlikely we will be able to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the latest fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
