STUDIO II BRANDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION
Studio II Brands, Inc. (the Company) was formed on May 6, 1996 in the State of Florida. The Companys activities before February, 2011 were primarily directed towards the raising of capital and seeking business opportunities.
The Company has transitioned from its development stage to operational activities as of February 10, 2011. On February 10, 2011, the Company entered into and consummated a share exchange agreement with Hippo Lace Limited (HLL), a BVI corporation and Mr. Gu Yao (Gu), the sole stockholder of HLL to acquire Gus 100% interests of HLL and its wholly owned subsidiary, Legend Sun Limited (Legend Sun) a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Hong Kong and its principal activity is to provide catering services in Hong Kong. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company completed the closing of the exchange transaction under the terms of the Exchange Agreement and Supplementary Agreement on February 10, 2011 by issuing 2,291,100 shares of its Common Stock to Gu as consideration (i) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of HLL owned by Gu valued at $34,450 or approximately $0.015 per share, and (ii) to pay off the outstanding stockholder loan owed to Gu Yao by HLL. Accordingly, after completion of the transaction described above, the outstanding stockholder loan in the amount of $184,226 was owed by HLL to the Company.
On March 29, 2012, the Company through its subsidiary HLL entered into and consummated a stock purchase agreement with Sino Wish Limited (Sino Wish) and Ms Vivian Choi (Vivian), the sole stockholder of Sino Wish to (i) acquired Vivians 100% interests of Sino Wish which was incorporated and domiciled in Hong Kong as a Companys franchisee to operate Caffé Kenon restaurant at Tai Yau Plaza, Hong Kong, and (ii) repay the stockholders loan from Vivian to HLL. The purchase price for the acquisition of Sino Wish amounted to $280,000, and was determined through arms length negotiation. A total of $191,002 was paid through issuance to the seller of a total of 2,938,742 shares of common stock of the Company valued at $0.065 per share. Such shares were restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. The balance of the purchase price in the amount of $88,998 was payable through the assumption of the outstanding balance of a stockholder loan owed by Sino Wish to the seller. The stockholder loan assumed by HLL had been full repaid in four equal quarterly installments.
NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENTS PLANS
The Companys independent registered public accounting firms report on the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2013 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, they do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Companys minimal revenues, its dependency on continuing funding from its stockholders raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys business plan includes raising funds from outside potential investors. However, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so.
NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)
Basis of presentation
In the opinion of the management, our financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal, recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q in Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 1, 2013.

STUDIO II BRANDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(b)
Principles of consolidation
The balance sheets as of September 30 and March 31, 2013 include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, HLL, Legend Sun and Sino Wish. Additionally, the results of operations and cash flows include the operations of HLL, Legend Sun and Sino Wish from the date of acquisition. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(c)
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management of the Company 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Companys significant estimates include the reserves related to receivables, the recoverability and useful lives of long lived assets and realizable values for inventories.
(d)
Foreign currency translation
Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period; and the stockholders equity is translated at historical exchange rate. The related transaction adjustments are reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss) in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet.

Average six-months ended HK$:US$ exchange rate | $ 7.7575 | $ 7.7903 | - |
(e)
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Improvements to leased assets or fixtures are amortized over their estimated useful lives or lease period, whichever is shorter. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, which do not extend the useful life of the assets, are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation expense is recorded over the assets estimated useful lives or lease period, using the straight line method, at the following annual rates:
Furniture and equipment: 10% - 20%, per annum
Computer equipment: 10%, per annum
Leasehold improvements: over the lease term
(f)
Inventories
Inventories consist of finished goods which include food and beverage materials and products for catering service. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or market value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchases, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition and is assigned by using a first-in first-out basis. Market value is determined by reference to selling prices after the balance sheet date or to managements estimates based on prevailing market conditions. The management also regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine if a valuation allowance is required.

STUDIO II BRANDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(g)
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are shown net of allowance for doubtful accounts. During the period, there were no bad debts incurred and no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded as of September 30 and March 31, 2013. The allowance for doubtful accounts considers a number of factors, including collection experience, current economic trends, estimates of forecasted write-offs, aging of the accounts receivable portfolios, industry norms, regulatory decisions and other factors. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes any historical bad debts, customer concentrations, and customer credit worthiness. Managements policy is to record a reserve primarily on a specific identification basis. Accounts are written off after collection efforts are exhausted.
(h)
Security deposits
Security deposits mainly consist of five months rental and management fee security deposits, electricity and water meter deposits for company owned restaurants.
(i)
Cash
Cash consist of cash on hand and at banks. The Companys cash deposits are held with financial institutions located in United States and Hong Kong. Management believes these financial institutions are of high credit quality.
(j)
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and the fair value of liabilities assumed in an acquisition. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)-350-30-50 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets requires the testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually. The Company tests goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter each year. Goodwill impairment is computed using the expected present value of associated future cash flows. There was no impairment of goodwill as of September 30 and March 31, 2013.
(k)
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets are comprised of property and equipment. Pursuant to the provisions of ASC360-10, Property, plant and equipment, long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable by comparing the undiscounted cash flows associated with the assets to their carrying amounts. If such a review indicates an impairment, the carrying amount would be reduced to fair value.
Based on the Companys assessment, there were no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate any impairment of long-lived assets as of September 30 and March 31, 2013.
(l)
Accounts payable and accrued expenses consist of the following:

(m)
Fair value measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.
The carrying values of cash, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and short-term borrowings from related party approximate fair values due to their short maturities.
There was no asset or liability measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30 and March 31, 2013.
(n)
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be effective when the differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company follows ASC 740 which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in the tax return. This ASC section also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures.
(o)
Other comprehensive income
The Company has adopted ASC 220 Comprehensive Income. This statement establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income consists of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

STUDIO II BRANDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(p)
Revenue recognition
Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold or services provided. Revenue is recognized when all the following criteria are met:
(i)
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.
(ii)
Services have been rendered.
(iii)
The sellers price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and
(iv)
Collectability is reasonably assured.
Revenue from sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold. Franchise fee income on the annual fee for sublicensing of the brand name and trademark Caffe Kenon and the 10% management fee on eligible monthly net income of subfranchisee are recognized after granting the non-exclusive rights and all contractual obligations are performed and report of net income from subfranchisee respectively.
(q)
Employee benefits
The Company operates a Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme (the "MPF Scheme") under the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance for those employees employed under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance. The MPF Scheme is a defined contribution scheme, the assets of which are held in separate trustee-administered funds. The Companys contributions to the scheme are expensed as incurred and are vested in accordance with the schemes vesting scales.
(r)
Segment information
The Company uses the management approach in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Companys chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Companys operating segments. Management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by monthly revenue and operating results of the two operating subsidiaries and the newly subfranchised store in Hong Kong. As such, management has determined that the franchise and subfranchise operations in Hong Kong are two operating segments. As the Companys operations and customers are principally all located in Hong Kong, no geographic information has been presented.
(s)
Commitments and contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings that relate to a wide range of matters, including among others, contracts breach liability. The Company records accruals for such contingencies based upon the assessment of the probability of occurrence and, where determinable, an estimate of the liability. Management may consider many factors in making these assessments including past history, scientific evidence and the specifics of each matter.
As of September 30 and March 31, 2013, the Companys management has evaluated all such proceedings and claims. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
(t)
Recent accounting pronouncements
There is no recently issued accounting pronouncements adopted by the Company. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Corporate history
Studio II Brands, INC. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on May 6, 1996. The Company was formed as a blank check or shell company for the purpose of seeking, investigating, and, if warranted, acquiring one or more properties or businesses. From inception to February 10, 2011, the Company remained in the development stage. The Companys only activities during this period were organizational activities, compliance with SEC reporting obligations, and seeking a suitable business acquisition.
On February 10 2011, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Hippo Lace Limited, a BVI corporation (HLL), which was incorporated in December, 2009. As a result of completion of this share exchange transaction, HLL became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Also, as more fully described below, HLLs subsidiary, Legend Sun Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (Legend Sun), which HLL acquired in February, 2010, became our operating subsidiary.
The Company completed the share exchange transaction with HLL in order to acquire the business operations carried on through its subsidiary, Legend Sun, and with the intent of focusing our business activity exclusively on those operations.
On March 29 2012, the Company acquired through its subsidiary all of the issued and outstanding shares of Sino Wish Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (Sino Wish), which was incorporated in November, 2009 and became the franchisee of the Company to operate Caffé Kenon restaurant at Tai Yau Plaza, Hong Kong in March, 2010. As a result of completion of this share exchange transaction, Sino Wish became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
19
Corporate Structure
The Chart below depicts our corporate structure. As depicted below, Studio II Brands owns 100% of Hippo Lace Limited and Hippo Lace Limited owns 100% of Legend Sun Limited and Sino Wish Limited.
Current operations
Through the Companys operating subsidiaries, Legend Sun and Sino Wish, the Company is in the business of operating coffee shop restaurants under the tradename Caffe Kenon. The Company currently owns and operates two Caffé Kenon coffee shops located in Hong Kong which have been in operation since June, 2009 and March, 2010 respectively. These shops are operated under the terms of a franchise agreement between HLL and Sizegenic Holdings Limited (Sizegenic), a British Virgin Islands corporation. The Company has entered into a subfranchise agreement with Golden Spring Limited (GSL) in September 2013, pursuant to which GSL operates a Caffe Kenon restaurant in Hong Kong, and pays the Company franchise and management fees. Therefore, as of the fourth quarter of calendar year 2013, the Company has a total of two owned Caffe Kenon stores in Hong Kong and one subfranchised Caffe Kenon store in Hong Kong.
Sizegenic entered into an International Exclusive Distribution and Promotion Agreement (the Café Centro Agreement) with Café Centro Brazil Wurzburger Vittorio &C. S.a.s., an Italian corporation (Café Centro) on June 26, 2009, pursuant to which Sizegenic has the exclusive right to distribute and sell coffee products supplied by Café Centro and the exclusive license to use the brand name and trademark Caffe Kenon in business operations for a period of ten (10) years within the region consisting of Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and China. On February 10, 2010 and April 1, 2012, Sizegenic entered into franchise agreements with HLL pursuant to which HLL was
20
granted the right to operate a Caffe Kenon restaurant at 38 Yiu Wa Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong and shop no. 208 and 209 of the 2nd floor of the Tai Yau Plaza shopping center in Wanchai, Hong Kong, respectively.
At the two Company-owned restaurants and the subfranchise restaurant they offer Italian-style espresso drinks using Kenon brand coffee imported from Italy. They also serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with a moderately-priced Italian style standard menu which includes pizza, spaghetti, risotto, salads, sandwiches and desserts. In addition, Caffé Kenon Bistro serves periodic specialty meals in addition to the standard menu items. The Company seeks to establish restaurant locations in shopping and commercial areas with significant foot traffic and with easy access to underground railroad or other public transportation. Our restaurants are designed comfortably with seating areas for customers around a counter area which includes display cases for pastries and other items and a work area where staff prepare espresso drinks. The Company uses a modern stylish design for the interior with a flexible combination of tables and chairs designed to allow us to host various types of events and to accommodate a total of approximately 50 and 80 guests, respectively.
Future Plan of Operations
The Companys future plan of operations is to seek to continue to expand by adding additional Café Kenon locations in Hong Kong and in China. Some of the new locations may be Company owned and operated as franchises of Sizegenic, and some may be subfranchise operations from which the Company receives franchise and management fees. The Company also plans to seek possible investment and business opportunities in different potential restaurant and catering service business segments including hotpot and traditional Chinese cuisine restaurants, and possible investment and business opportunities related to ownership and operation of a coffee farm and production of our own brand of packed coffee beans and canned coffee to be sold to wholesale and retail customers. The Company will require additional working capital in order to open new Company owned Café Kenon locations or to pursue other potential investment and business opportunities, and there is no assurance that such additional working capital funding will be available, or will be available on terms which are acceptable to the Company.
In September 2013, the Company entered into a subfranchise agreement with Golden Spring Limited (GSL), a copy of which is filed as an Exhibit to this report on Form 10-Q, pursuant to which GSL is authorized to operate a Caffe Kenon restaurant in Hong Kong. The terms of the subfranchise agreement is 3 years with an option to extend for an additional 3 years. Management is currently in negotiations with another potential subfranchisee on terms of a subfranchise agreement in Hong Kong for the operation of another Caffe Kenon. Management will continue to seek opportunities in Hong Kong to build strong networks and brandnames.
Our management is actively seeking business opportunities in various regions in China, including Beijing, Shanghai and Sichuan Province. As a result of Chinas economic development, accelerated urbanization process and the change of household consumption habits, peoples demand for restaurant/catering services is increasingly growing. Management believes that the Company can apply its previous experience providing restaurant/catering services in Beijing to explore business opportunities in China. The potential plans include acting as a franchisor, operating Company-owned restaurants, and entering in to joint venture to operate restaurants with potential business partners.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
A summary of significant accounting policies is provided in Note 3 to our financial statements included in our filing on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, and filed with the SEC on July 1, 2013. Our officers and directors believe that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables the Company to provide useful and reliable financial information about the Companys operating results and financial condition.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires our officers and directors to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results will differ from those estimates.
Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2012
The following discussion regarding unaudited results of operation relates to the business operations which are carried on through our operating subsidiaries, Legend Sun and Sino Wish.

The increase of $7,564, or approximately 3%, was mainly attributable to the new franchise and management fee income of $17,977, generated from its subfranchise during the period.

The decrease of $12,803, or approximately 3%, was mainly caused by temporary closure of one of the restaurant of Legend Sun for remodeling, which resulted in a decrease in customers.

Cost of revenues represents finished goods including food and beverage materials and products for catering services sold by our company-owned restaurants.

Cost of revenues represents finished goods including food and beverage materials and products for catering services sold by our company-owned restaurants.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012
The increase of operating expenses to $198,611 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to operating expenses of $172,703 for the same period for 2012, which represents an increase of $25,908 or approximately 15%, was mainly due to the increase in property rental due to renewal of the tenancy agreement for the premises of our restaurant at Tai Yau Plaza, and the increase in legal and professional fees which were mainly fees related to filing reports with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, the Company incurred more professional and audit fees during the period as compared to the same period of 2012.
Six Months Ended September 30, 2013 compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2012
The increase of operating expenses to $393,362 for the six months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to operating expenses of $324,684 for the same period for 2012, which represents an increase of $68,678 or approximately 21%, was for reasons similar to those mentioned above.
Net operating (loss)/income
Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012
As a result of the increase in operating costs, particularly the increase in rental expenses, there was an operating loss of $10,670 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared with a profit of $9,637 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Six Months Ended September 30, 2013 compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2012

Impact of Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have had an effect on our business and we expect that inflation or changing prices could materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. Our management will closely monitor the price change and make efforts to maintain effective cost control in operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash generated from operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2013 was $4,722. It mainly represents cash income from daily operations and the decrease in amount due from related party.
A stockholder of the Company, Cheung Ming, has paid expenses on behalf of the Company with no interest and without a fixed repayment term. Amounts payable to the aforesaid stockholder at September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, were $431,071 and $442,722, respectively. The payable is an internal source of liquidity for payment of operational expenses and to provide working capital. Possible external sources of liquidity may include loan borrowing from financial institutions or possible completion of a share exchange transaction to acquire potential and profitable businesses which can generate additional cash flow.
The Company believes that the existing cash and cash equivalents on hand together with approximately $7,000 monthly average net cash inflow generated from the Company-owned restaurants, will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the current level of operations and to sustain business operations at the current levels for the next twelve months.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, they do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Companys minimal revenues and its dependency on continuing funding from its stockholders, raise substantial double about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys business plan includes raising funds from outside potential investors. However, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so.
As of September 30, 2013, there were no material commitments for capital expenditures for business operations.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have identified a material weakness in connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2013 and have thus concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of these objectives. A "material weakness" is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The identified material weakness and control deficiency primarily related to absence of a Chief Financial Officer with appropriate professional experience with U.S. GAAP and SEC rules and regulations.
We believe that the material weakness and other control deficiencies we have identified are temporary because our management intends to hire a financial controller or financial manager with experience in U.S. GAAP accounting and SEC rules and regulations, but based on the current size and cashflow of the Company, we are not able to do so. Our management intends to conduct an assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure control and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting in the coming months if we acquire another operating business or assets, and re-consider the need for hiring a financial controller / finance manager.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the period ended September 30, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
