NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A – PRESENTATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS, AND GOING CONCERN

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the consolidated financial statements not misleading have been included.  Results for the three months ended September 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2014.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to make them comparable to the presentation for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
 
Nature of Business

China Ginseng Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of Nevada on June 24, 2004.

On November 24, 2004, the Company acquired 55% of Yanbian Huaxing Ginseng Industry Co. Limited (“Yanbian Huaxing”), which is located in China and, is in the business of farming, processing, distribution, and marketing of Asian Ginseng products.  In 2010, the Company ceased marketing ginseng and is presently utilizing the harvest to produce a ginseng beverage.  However, it continues to buy ginseng for the resale market.  In August 2005, the Company acquired the remaining 45% of Yanbian Huaxing. Yanbian Huaxing controls, through 20 year leases (the "Leases") granted by the Chinese Government, approximately 1,500 hectors (3,705 acres) of land used to grow ginseng.  The Company had no operations prior to November 24, 2004. These leases expire in 2024.

On August 24, 2005, the Company acquired Jilin Ganzhi Ginseng Produce Co. Limited, whose principal business is the manufacture of ginseng drinks.

On October 19, 2005, the Company incorporated a new company, Jilin Huamei Beverage Co. Limited (“Jilin Huamei”), which operates as a sales department for the Company’s canned ginseng juice and wine, which are produced by other subsidiaries of the Company.

On March 31, 2008, the Company acquired Tonghua Linyuan Grape Planting Co. Limited (“Tonghua Linyuan”) whose principal activity is the growing, cultivation and harvesting of a grape vineyard. The Company plans to produce wine and grape juice but to date has not commenced production. In June 2012, the Company decided to abandon the growing and harvesting of grapes due to the poor quality of recent harvests, which were not suitable for the production of wine or grape juice.  Instead, the Company began purchasing grapes in the open market to produce wine and grape juice and decided not to renew the Leases with the Chinese Government when the leases expire on December 31, 2013, since it no longer needs them for its business. On June 30, 2013, the Company sold the assets and liabilities of Tonghua Linyuan to a third party.

On March 2, 2012, the Company approved the incorporation of a new subsidiary, Hong Kong Huaxia International Industrial Co., Limited (“Hong Kong Huaxia”) in Hong Kong in order to sell health and specialized local products. Hong Kong Huaxia was incorporated in Hong Kong on March 18, 2012, and began operations in April 2012. Hong Kong Huaxia has registered 880,000,000 shares of 1 HKD par value stock in Hong Kong. None of the $113,443,000 (880,000,000 HKD) registered capital of Hong Kong Huaxia has been funded.

Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and activities of China Ginseng Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Yanbian Huaxing Ginseng Co. Limited, Jilin Huamei Beverage Co. Limited, Jilin Ganzhi Ginseng Products Co. Limited, Tonghua Linyuan Grape Planting Co. Limited and Hong Kong Huaxia International Industrial, Co. Limited. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Going Concern

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had net losses of $255,882 and $1,393,202 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $9,663,295 as of September 30, 2013, and there are existing uncertain conditions the Company foresees relating to its ability to obtain working capital and operate successfully. Management’s plans include the raising of capital through the debt and equity markets to fund future operations and the generation of revenue through its businesses. Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate sales revenue could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (UNAUDITED)

Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurance that the revenue will be sufficient to enable the Company to develop business to a level at which it will generate profits and cash flow from operations.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  However, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (UNAUDITED)
In September 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with three other companies to establish a new entity, Jilin Province Jiliang Beverage Investment Management Co., Ltd. (“Jilin Jiliang”). The purpose of Jilin Jiliang is to provide investment and project consultation. Under the agreement, the Company was required to invest a total of $81,237 (RMB 500,000) for a 10% interest in Jilin Jiliang by September 25, 2012. In September 2011, the Company invested $16,265 (RMB 100,000) in Jilin Jiliang. During the year ended June 30, 2013, Jilin Jiliang returned the $16,265 (RMB 100,000) investment to the Company

NOTE E – GINSENG CROPS

The Company’s business, prior to June 30, 2009, was primarily to harvest and sell fresh and dried ginseng. The growth period takes approximately 5 to 6 years before harvest can commence and up to 8 years for improved harvest and seedling yields. The Company is changing its business model to utilize the harvested ginseng to manufacture ginseng juice and other ginseng beverages. It commenced the juice operation in August 2011. The Company plants selects areas each year and tracks the costs expended each year by planting area. The Chinese government owns all of the land in China.

Currently, the Company has obtained leases from the Chinese government for approximately 1,500 hectors of land (approximately 3,705 acres) to grow ginseng, which were awarded in April and May 2005.  These leases are for 20 years and the management of the Company believes that the leases will be renewed as they expire in different areas.  However, there are no assurances that the Chinese government will continue to renew these leases in the future. The planting of new ginseng is dependent upon the Company’s cash flow and its ability to raise working capital.

The Company has planted approximately 287,984 square meters of land. The Company plans to plant over the next 5 years 100,000 square meters, representing approximately 20,000 square meters per year. In the succeeding five years, the Company plans to harvest approximately 60,945 square meters of ginseng. The harvest plan by year is as follows: 58,281 square meters in 2014 and 2,664 square meters in 2017.

In August 2012, a typhoon struck the Mudanjiang Ginseng farm destroying approximately 111,839 square meters of planted ginseng, which had an approximate value of RMB 6,754,675 ($ 1,075,640).

NOTE F – AGREEMENTS WITH FARMERS
 
The Company has executed agreements with a number of local farmers to grow, cultivate and harvest ginseng utilizing the land leased from the government. The farming contracts commenced in January 2008. In connection with these agreements, the Company (1) leases sections of the ginseng farm land to the farmers at approximately $1.50 (RMB 10) per square meter per year, (2) provides the seeds and fertilizer to the farmers and clears the land of large debris, (3) pays the farmers a management fee of approximately $0.50 (RMB 4.00) per square meter per year, and (4) the farmers are required to produce 2kg of ginseng for each square meter that they manage. The Company pays the farmers the market price for their ginseng. If the harvest is below 2kg per square meter, the difference will be deducted from the total payment for ginseng purchased. If the harvest produces more that 2kg per square meter, the Company pays approximately $3.00 for every extra kilo. The Company records these agreements on a net basis by individual farmers. The Company has recorded a receivable from the farmers for the rental income of the leased ginseng farm land of $0 and $0 at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively. The Company has also recorded a long-term Payable to Farmers for the management fee due to the farmers.  The liability at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013 was $874,646 and $870,300, respectively. The receivable and payable balances for the respective areas will be settled at harvest time when the Company purchases the harvest at the current market value for ginseng.

NOTE K – PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are included in the Company’s tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

Deferred tax assets consist of the following at:

   
September 30,
   
June 30,
 
   
2013

Timing difference related to inventory provisions
  $ 8,894     $ 8,850

Valuation allowance
    (1,312,816 )     (1,376,771 )
Deferred tax asset
  $ 8,894     $ 8,850  

The deferred tax asset is the result of an inventory provision and related reserve. Under Chinese tax laws, the Company is not entitled to a deduction for the provision until the inventory is completely discarded. Accordingly, the liability has been recorded as an offset by a deferred tax asset representing a timing difference.

The Company has a net operating loss carry forward as follows:

  $ 5,251,262     $ 5,507,084  

The operating losses are available to offset future taxable income. The China net operating loss carryforwards can only be carried forward for five years and will commence expiring in 2013.  The Company does not file a consolidated tax return in China. Therefore, the profitability of the individual Chinese companies will determine the utilization of the carryforward losses. The U.S. carryforward losses are available to offset future taxable income for the succeeding 20 years and commence expiring in 2027.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
This Form 10−Q contains forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those set forth as a result of general economic conditions and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations relates to the operations and financial condition reported in the financial statements of China Ginseng Holdings Inc. for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements and related notes included in this report and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013. The analysis set forth below is provided pursuant to applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and is not intended to serve as a basis for projections of future events.
 
Company Overview

Our Company, China Ginseng Holdings Inc., was incorporated on June 24, 2004 in the State of Nevada.  The Company conducts business through its four wholly-owned subsidiaries located in China.  We have been granted 20-year leases to 3,705 acres of land by the Chinese government for ginseng planting and we control, through a lease, approximately 750 acres of grape vineyards. However, recent harvests of grapes showed poor quality for wine production, which indicates that the vineyards are no longer suitable for planting grapes for wine production. Therefore, we have decided not to renew our lease for the vineyards with the Chinese government upon expiration on December 31, 2013 and, going forward, we intend to purchase grapes from the open market in order to produce grape juice and wine.
 
Since our inception in 2004, we have been engaged in the business of farming, processing, distribution and marketing of fresh ginseng, dry ginseng, ginseng seeds, and seedlings.  Starting in August 2010, we have gradually shifted the focus of our business from direct sales of ginseng to canned ginseng juice production and wine production.
 
Since we shifted the focus of our business into the ginseng beverage business and the wine business, we have started to store our raw material and sell only a limited amount of our self-produced ginseng. We also purchase ginseng from outside sources, and then resell it to generate revenue, which sales are based on orders from the market. However, due to the global recession and local market conditions, demand for ginseng exports declined beginning in 2008, creating a significant oversupply in China. All those factors caused us to incur losses in 2012 and 2013. In addition, as our new business is in the initial stages, we need to spend capital to promote our new products and develop our marketing plan. There is no assurance that there will be sufficient demand for our beverages and wine to allow us to operate profitably initially, or at all. We have recurring operating losses and there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2013, the cash balance on hand for the Company was $82,208.
 
In order to meet the challenge, we raised capital to support our operation through a Regulation S private placement and we are recruiting distributors for ginseng beverage and wine products. In addition, we established Hong Kong Huaxia in Hong Kong as a sales company for health products and specialized local goods in March 2012. Hong Kong Huaxia was set up as a part of our adjusted marketing strategy so that we can explore the Asia market through Hong Kong Huaxia, while Jilin Huamei remains focused on domestic sales in China. The focus of Hong Kong Huaxia is the sale of our ginseng juice and wine in the Asia market. Hong Kong Huaxia is currently recruiting distributors for the Asia market in addition to its online shopping platform for direct sales of our ginseng juice and wine.

Although, we have generated only limited revenues from our ginseng beverage and wine businesses, we believe there is future potential to do so because (i) the China ginseng market is recovering now; (ii) the demand and the price is in an uptrend due to Chinese government restrictions on the amount of land available for ginseng farming (land under our Company’s control has not been affected by the government restrictions); (iii)  as of the date of this filing, we have already entered into binding agreements through our subsidiary Jilin Huamei with 5  distributors to distribute our  beverage in different cities and 1 distributor to distribute our ginseng beverage in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand; and (iv) we set up Hong Kong Huaxia to promote our products in the Asia Market and initiate online direct sales of our ginseng juice and wine.

As the impact of the shift in the focus of our business away from the ginseng business and into the ginseng beverage business and the wine business is uncertain and the shift represents a material change in our business, our past revenues and other financial results do not provide a meaningful basis for future performance and there is no guarantee that we will be able to attain profitability in the foreseeable future.

Our Subsidiaries

Our business in China is currently mainly conducted through three wholly-owned subsidiaries located in Northeast China: Yanbian Huaxia, Jilin Ganzhi and Jilin Huamei. On June 30, 2013, one of our subsidiaries in China, Tonghua Linyuan became a shell company and ceased operations pursuant to a sale of all of its assets and liabilities.  Below is the operational status of each of these businesses as of the date of this filing:
 
Yanbian Huaxing Ginseng Industry Co. Ltd. (“Yanbian Huaxing”) – Ginseng farming and sales.
 
 ●
On September 8, 2003, we and Jilin Dunhua Huaxing Ginseng Industry Co, Ltd. (“Dunghua Huaxing”, a PRC company) jointly and legally established Yanbian Huaxing as a joint venture company in which we held 25% equity interest and Dunhua Huaxing held 75% equity interest. We received a certificate of approval issued by the competent local approval authority on September 8, 2003, and a business license issued by the competent local registration authority on September 16, 2003. On November 24, 2004, we and Dunhua Huaxing adjusted the registered capital of Yanbian Huaxing and our respective shareholding percentage in Yanbian Huaxing, and, as a result, we then held 55% equity interest in Yanbian Huaxing. Subsequently in August 2005, we acquired the remaining 45% equity interest from Dunhua Huaxing at a purchase price of $164,000, pursuant to which we now hold 100% equity interest in Yanbian Huaxing and changed Yanbian Huaxing from a joint venture into a wholly foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”). The purchase price of the remaining interest of Yanbian Huaxia was based upon its registered capital of $364,000. In October 2005, we increased the registered capital of Yanbian Huaxing by putting in an additional $250,000 in order to meet the requirement for foreign owned enterprise requirement for tax purposes. Now, the registered capital of Yanbian Huaxing is $614,000. We have applied with the relevant PRC approval and registration authorities for each of the aforesaid changes and have obtained all applicable approvals and registrations for such changes, including a certificate of approval issued by the local approval authority and a renewed business license issued by the local registration authority certifying Yanbian Huaxing as a WFOE lawfully owned by us. Yanbian Huaxing is operated to plant ginseng, and our revenue in the past was mainly from the sales of ginseng produced and sold by Yanbian Huaxing. With the shift of business focus to canned ginseng juice, we have started to reserve the high quality grown ginseng for ginseng beverage production and sold only those not qualified to make ginseng juice. However, due to excessive rain in the year ended June 30, 2011, 90% of our grown ginseng was oxidized and sold to the market. During the year ended June 30, 2013, we were unable to reserve our grown ginseng for ginseng juice production, compared with 20% in the year ended June 30, 2012.
 
Jilin Ganzhi Ginseng Products Co. Ltd. (“Jilin Ganzhi”) – Produces canned ginseng juice.
 
On August 24, 2005, we acquired 100% equity interest in Jilin Ganzhi at a price of $95,691.  We received a certificate of approval issued by the competent local approval authority on May 31, 2006 and a business license issued by the competent local registration authority on June 19, 2006.  Subsequently, on September 26, 2007 and August 31, 2008, we increased Jilin Ganzhi’s registered capital by $50,000 and $20,000, respectively.  Now the registered capital of Jilin Ganzhi is $100,000. We applied with the relevant PRC approval and registration authorities for each of the aforesaid capital increases and have obtained all applicable approvals and registrations for such changes, including a renewed certificate of approval issued by the local approval authority and a renewed business license issued by the local registration authority certifying Jilin Ganzhi as a WFOE lawfully owned by us. Jilin Ganzhi is operated to process ginseng and produce canned ginseng juice. Jilin Ganzhi started production of canned ginseng juice in the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Tonghua Linyuan Grape Planting Co. (“Tonghua Linyuan”) – Grew grapes and produced wine through a winery producer until June 30, 2013, when Tonghua Linyuan became a shell company and ceased operations.
 
On January 15, 2008, we acquired 100% equity interest in Tonghua Linyuan from two PRC individual shareholders at a price of $1,000,000.  The price was determined by arm’s-length negotiations based upon the appraised net asset value of Tonghua Linyuan at the time of acquisition which was approximately $1,332,248. Tonghua Linyuan was operated to plant grapes and produce wine.  As of June 2013, the planned production of wine and grape juice had not commenced due to the poor quality of the harvests from Tonghua Linyuan in recent years, which were not suitable for the production of wine or grape juice; therefore, the Company decided to abandon the growing and harvesting of grapes.  On June 30, 2013, Tonghua Linyuan entered into a sale agreement with Mr. Wenkai Wang to transfer all assets and debts of Tonghua Linyuan to Mr. Wenkai Wang for $0 (zero) consideration, including the ownership of machinery and equipment, the right to the use of the plant and the debt of $2 million of Tonghua Linyuan, effective immediately. Mr. Wang has been engaged in wine sale business in Tonghua City for many years and does not have any material relationship with the Company, or any of its affiliates, or any director or officer of the Company, or any associate of any such director or officer, other than in respect of the sale of Tonghua Linyuan. Pursuant to the sale of all assets and debts, Tonghua Linyuan became a shell with no operations. We believe that it is in the best interest of the Company to dispose of the assets and debts of Tonghua Linyuan. Going forward, the Company will purchase grapes in the open market to produce wine and grape juice. Contracts entered into by Tonghua Linyuan with a winery producer for production of wine remain valid and will be fulfilled by Jilin Huamei.

Jilin Huamei Beverage Co. Ltd. (“Jilin Huamei”) - Markets our canned ginseng juice and wine.
 
 ●
We incorporated Jilin Huamei as a WFOE on October 17, 2005. We received a certificate of approval issued by the competent local approval authority on October 17, 2005 and a business license issued by the competent local registration authority on October 19, 2005 certifying Jilin Huamei as a WFOE lawfully owned by us. The registered capital of Jilin Huamei is $200,000.  Jilin Huamei operates as a sales department for our canned ginseng juice and wine, which are produced by our other subsidiaries. We plan to recruit one general distributor for our canned ginseng juice and one general distributor for our wine in each big city in China through Jilin Huamei. We commenced sales of our ginseng beverage in October 2010 and Jilin Huamei started generating revenue in November 2010. As of the date of this filing, Jilin Huamei has five (5) general distributors for our ginseng beverage and one (1) general distributor for our wine. Jilin Huamei established one (1) sale branch office in Jiangsu Province from the period of June 2011 to May 2013. The Company decided to cease operating this branch because we did not have many sales from this branch and we did not have enough cash to support its operations. As of September 30, 2013, Jilin Huamei also conducts the purchase of grapes from the open market for the production of our own wine.  

Hong Kong Huaxia International Industrial Co., Ltd. (“Hong Kong Huaxia”) – Sells health products and specialized local goods
 
Hong Kong Huaxia was incorporated by us on March 18, 2012, as a wholly-owned subsidiary to sell health products and specialized local goods. The registered capital of Hong Kong Huaxia is HKD 880,000,000 (approximately $113,443,000), which has not been funded by the Company. Hong Kong Huaxia began operations in April 2012.
 
Our Products

Previously, through Yanbian Huaxing, we focused on the farming, processing, distribution and marketing of Asian and American Ginseng and related byproducts in the following varieties:

 
·
Fresh Ginseng: For pharmaceutical, health supplement, cosmetic industry and fresh consumption.

 
·
Dry Ginseng: Dried form for pharmaceutical and health supplement consumption.

 
·
Ginseng Seeds: Selling of ginseng seeds.

 
·
Ginseng Seedling: Selling of ginseng seedling.
  
Also through Yanbian Huaxing, we obtained 20-year leases to 3,705 acres of land approved by the local government for ginseng growing on June 12, 2005, and we have developed 3% of the land resources.
 
Since August 2010, we have gradually shifted our business focus from direct sales of ginseng and ginseng byproducts to the production and sale of canned ginseng juice and wine. We have started reserving most of the ginseng produced by Yanbian Huaxing for use in the planned production of canned ginseng juice and grape juice produced by Tonghua Linyuan for use in the production of wine. Meanwhile, as there is a higher standard for ginseng used in canned ginseng juice, we are able to sell some of the ginseng produced by Yanbian Huaxing, which is not qualified for use in canned ginseng juice to the market through Yanbian Huaxing. Although we have shifted our business focus to the production and sale of ginseng juice and wine, we still receive orders for ginseng and its byproducts because of our reputation in the industry for selling high-quality ginseng. We intend to maintain this part of our business even though it is no longer our business focus. In addition, if we receive large orders for ginseng and/or ginseng byproducts, we will directly purchase ginseng and/or ginseng byproducts from the market if we can get a lower price of the products. This part of sale of ginseng is generated on an order-to-order basis and conditioned on whether we can get a lower price for such demanded products in the market.

Through Jilin Ganzhi, we produce two types of canned ginseng juice:

 
·
Ganzhi Asian Ginseng Beverage

 
·
Ganzhi American Ginseng Beverage
  
In addition to canned ginseng juice, we also shifted our business to focus on wine production. Prior to the sale of the assets and debts of Tonghua Linyuan, we grew and crushed the grapes from our vineyards and had the juice reserved. In the future, we will purchase grapes in the open market to produce wine and grape juice. We contracted with Jinyuanshan Winery for the final production and bottling of the wine and commenced wine production through Jinyuanshan Winery in March 2011 and sales in April 2011. All of our wines are sold through Jinlin Huamei and Hong Kong Huaxia.

We produce and sell three types of wine:
 
 
·
Bingqing Ice Wine

 
·
Pearl in the Snow (Red Wine)

 
·
Linyuan Hong Wine (Red Wine)

New Focus of Our Business

Canned Ginseng Juice

To produce canned ginseng juice, we take ginseng juice extracted from fresh ginseng as the main material and add natural extracts like xylitol, citric acid and steviosides as subsidiary ingredients. We have farming technicians periodically inspect farmers to ensure they follow our growing guidelines to control the quality of the fresh ginseng, and when we need to purchase fresh ginseng from the market for production of ginseng juice, we limit our choice to the highest quality of fresh ginseng. We use low residue pesticide and biodegradable fertilizer for ginseng planting. We use xylitol instead of sugar to lower calories, which also does not cause products to have a sour taste.

Currently, there are about 10 kinds of ginseng drinks on the market; all of them are imported from Korea.  Based on our market research, the price range for those products is RMB 4  to RMB 30 per can (about  $0.60-$4.51).
 
The most important component of ginseng is ginsenoside. Based upon reading our competitors’ product labels, all of their ginseng drinks are blended after extracting ginsenosides through chemical methods. The chemical extraction of ginsenosides will cause damage to its nutritional components. Our technology is different from the traditional method used by our competitors.  We squeeze-out the natural juice from fresh ginseng so as to preserve freshness and nutrition in the final product. 

Squeezing is not commonly used in canned ginseng juice because it requires fresh ginseng, the preservation of which is very difficult. Fresh ginseng rots very fast. The harvest time concentrates in September and October, which is a fairly short period. After that, one can only buy dried ginseng from the market such as sun-dried ginseng from which we cannot squeeze juice. However, our drink formula uses refrigerated ginseng as a raw material to produce canned ginseng juice, which enables us to maintain its freshness and nutrition in our final products. The drink formula for our ginseng beverages is a registered patent approved by the Chinese government, patent number ZL 03111397.6.  This patent was issued on January 23, 2008 and expires 20 years after issuance.

This is the reason we store our fresh ginseng in refrigerated warehouse space. We are currently renting a refrigerated warehouse (-20 degrees Celsius) to store all fresh ginseng inventory necessary for production of the ginseng beverages.   Monthly rent for refrigerated warehouse is RMB 4,500 (about  $676.86). We commenced production in August 2010 and sales in October 2010, which was reflected in our financial statement for the three months ending December 31, 2010. We initiated our sales of canned ginseng juice in China, and we plan to expand our business to overseas markets in 2014 or 2015. Our Ganzhi Ginseng Beverage costs approximately $2.21 per 1600 ml bottle, and our American Ginseng Beverage costs approximately $2.66 per 1600 ml bottle. However, as we are in the initial stage of the ginseng beverage business, we cannot assure the demands for our ginseng beverage will be profitable in the short term and there is no guarantee that we will be able to generate the revenue from ginseng beverage business.
 
We own the production plant for ginseng juice.  The plant is certified by the Chinese government as a Good Manufacturing Process facility, which is required for our production of these products.  Good Manufacturing Process standards cover organization and personnel, building and facilities, equipment, materials, hygiene and sanitation, validation, documentation, production management, quality management, production distribution and recall, complaints and adverse reactions report, and self-inspections.

Wine
 
Our grapes grow on 750 acres of land leased from a group of individual farmers, paying approximately $37.50 per acre a year for 15 years.  This lease expires on December 31, 2013.   However, recent harvests from our vineyard showed poor quality indicating the vineyard is no longer suitable for the production of wine. We decided to abandon the growing and harvesting of grapes and not to renew the lease of the land when it expires. We will now purchase grapes in the open market to produce wine. 

We started production of wine in March 2011 and sales in April 2011. Through Tonghua Linyuan, we have a written production agreement with Tonghua Jinyuanshan Winery (“Jinyuanshan Winery”) to produce Pearl in Snow Wine and Bingqing Ice Wine for us from May 20, 2012 to May 19, 2017. Pursuant to the sale of all assets and liabilities of Tonghua Linyuan on June 30, 2013, the contract with Jinyuanshan Winery was fulfilled by our subsidiary, Jilin Huamei. Under the terms of the agreement, we provide Jinyuanshan Winery with grape juice, bottling supplies and packaging supplies, and Jinyuanshan Winery produces and bottles the wine with a charge of approximately $0.16-0.24 per bottle (approximately $0.16 a bottle for processing red wine and approximately $0.24 per bottle for processing ice wine). We have another written production agreement with Jinyuanshan Winery through Tonghua Linyuan (replaced by Jilin Huamei since June 30, 2013) to produce Linyuan Hong Wine for us at a charge of approximately $0.16 per bottle from May 20, 2012 to May 19, 2017. The agreement contains similar terms as the production written agreement we have with Jinyuanshan Winery for producing Pearl in Snow Wine and Bingqing Ice Wine.

Distribution

We intend to recruit one general distributor for our products of ginseng beverage and wine in every city in China through Jilin Huamei.  The city level distributor can recruit the second level distributors.  In addition to recruiting general distributors, in some major cities, Jilin Huamei will establish sale branch offices to facilitate the local sales. Our direct sales will target customers of high-end retailers such as supermarkets, pharmacies, hotels, gift shops, entertainment centers, tourists attractions, airport and high-speed trains, etc.
 
We started negotiating distribution and sales agreements with potential general distributors. We are using the same distribution agreement for our general distributors although specific terms might differ based upon negotiations we have with each distributor. In specific regard to our ginseng juice business, we have signed five (5) distributors through Jilin Huamei as of the date of this filing. As for the distribution of our wine, we have signed one (1) distributor through Jilin Huamei as of the date of this filing.

In addition, as a part of our adjustment to our marketing strategy for our ginseng juice and wine, we established Hong Kong Huaxia in March 2012. Hong Kong Huaxia recruits distributors to sell wine and ginseng juice outside of China in Asia Markets and to build and maintain an online shopping platform through which to take orders directly from end user customers.
 
Competitive Environment
 
The market for ginseng products and wine is highly competitive. Our operations may be affected by technological advances by competitors, industry consolidation, patents granted to competitors, competitive combination products, new products offered by our competitors, as well as new information provided by other marketed products and/or other post-market studies.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including the allowance for doubtful accounts, the saleability and recoverability of inventory, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
In addition, past financial results are not indicative of future performance due to our emphasis on further commercializing ginseng juice with our crops as raw materials and broadening our offering, such as wine sale. Furthermore, we cannot predict what future laws and regulations might be passed that could have a material effect on our results of operations. We assess the impact of significant changes in laws and regulations on a regular basis and update the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements when we deem it necessary.
 
Consolidated Financial Statements
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and activities of China Ginseng Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Yanbian Huaxing Ginseng Co. Limited, Jilin Huamei Beverage Co. Limited, Jilin Ganzhi Ginseng Products Co. Limited, Tonghua Linyuan Grape Planting Co. Limited and Hong Kong Huaxia International Industrial, Co. Limited. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Inventory

Our inventory consists of fresh and dried ginseng as well as formerly crushed grapes, and is stated at the lower of cost or market value.  Cost is determined using the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) Method.

Ginseng Crops and Grape Crops

The Company uses the full absorption costing method to value its ginseng crops.  Included in crop costs are seeds, labor, applicable overhead including depreciation, and supplies. Common costs are allocated in each period based upon the total number of hectors under cultivation during the period.
  
The carrying value of the ginseng crops is reviewed on a regular basis for any impairment in value using management’s best estimate as to expect future market values, yields and costs to harvest.  Costs accumulated on the acres expected to be harvested during the next fiscal year have been classified as a current asset.

On September 30, 2013 and 2012, there were no shipments of ginseng at customer locations awaiting inspection and approval that would be subject to invoicing.

Revenue Recognition

The Company processes ginseng and stores the stock for ginseng juice production.  Any grown ginseng that is not suitable for the beverage production is sold.  The Company also purchases ginseng from farmers for its resale business. Ginseng is planted in the Spring (March) and Fall (September) of each year and is generally harvested in September. It usually takes 6 years for a ginseng root to mature although senior maturity can be as long as 8 years.

Harvested ginseng can be sold in two ways: (1) fresh ginseng, which can be sold immediately and stored in refrigerators for up to 3 years, and (2) dried ginseng, which is processed and dried via sunlight and steam machines. Drying is a two-month process.  Dried ginseng can be stored up to 5 years. The Company has focused on selling dried ginseng as it is more profitable than selling fresh ginseng. The Company has also been storing fresh ginseng for future juice manufacturing.

When the Company sells ginseng, it receives orders prior to harvest.  For major customers, approximately 20% to 30% is paid upon delivery as payment in advance.  The balance is billed after the customer’s inspection process is completed, which can take up to 60 days.  Until the customer finalizes its inspection and deems the shipment acceptable, the shipment is still the property of the Company.  Upon customer completion of inspection and approval, the sale is then recognized and the balance of the invoice price is wired to the Company. For smaller sales, customers pick up the ginseng from the Company, pay in cash at time of pick up and receive an invoice with the appropriate sales tax applied and a cash acknowledgement. On these orders, revenue is recognized upon shipment/payment.
 
The Company has entered into several distribution agreements to sell ginseng juice and wine.  In accordance with these agreements, the distributors will advance funds to the Company for orders to be placed.  Upon the placement of orders by the distributor, the Company will ship the product to the distributor and title will pass to the distributor.  In relation to distribution agreements for ginseng beverages, it is the Company’s policy, commencing upon the execution of the distribution agreements, to allow the distributors to return all unsold products at the end of six (6) months from the shipment date should the product not be sold and the product has not exceeded the expiration date.  The Company is establishing history as to the quantity of the ginseng, which has been returned in order to determine if a reserve for returns and allowances is necessary.  To date, returns have been minimal. For each reporting period, the Company ascertains from each distributor its’ current on hand quantity and assesses the situation in order to establish a return allowance, if necessary.  As of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, all distribution sales had been sold to third parties.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable consists principally of trade receivables. When ginseng is shipped to a customer, the customer pays 20%-30% of the invoice and is entitled to an inspection process, which could take up to 60 days. Upon completion of the inspection and approval process, the customer notifies the company, and a sale is recorded. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents management’s estimate of the amount of probable credit losses, determined by reviewing past due balances and other information.  Account balances are written off against the allowance if management determines the receivable is uncollectible. The Company’s standard terms stipulate payment in 60 days and consider a receivable to be uncollectible after one year. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,507,992 and $664,976 at June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively.
 
Vineyard Development Costs

In June 2012, the Company decided to abandon the growing and harvesting of grapes due to the poor quality of recent harvests indicating that the vineyard land was no longer suitable for the production of wine or grape juice. Accordingly, the Company has abandoned the vineyard and recorded a charge to operations of $872,568, which is included under discontinued operations in the financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The Company has also decided not to renew its leases with the Chinese Government when it expires in December 2013.  Going forward, the Company will purchase grapes in the open market to produce wine and grape juice.
 
Going Concern

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had net losses of $255,882 and $1,393,202 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $9,663,295 as of September 30, 2013 and there are existing uncertain conditions the Company foresees relating to its ability to obtain working capital and operate successfully. Management’s plans include the raising of capital through the debt and equity markets to fund future operations and the generating of revenue through its businesses. Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate sales revenues could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations.

Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenues will be sufficient to enable it to develop business to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  However, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard update to provide guidance on achieving a consistent definition of and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure concerning fair value as between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This accounting standard update is effective for the Company beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its Consolidated Financial Statements but does not expect it will have a material impact.
  
In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to provide guidance on increasing the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This accounting standard update eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity and requires that the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. It is also required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. This accounting standard update is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
  
In August 2011, the FASB approved a revised accounting standard update intended to simplify how an entity tests goodwill for impairment. The amendment will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. An entity no longer will be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. This accounting standard update will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2012, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to provide guidance on increasing the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This accounting standard update eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity and requires that the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. It is also required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The Company adopted this accounting standard effective July 1, 2011.

(1) Aoweisi cosmetic products and Ruiersui capsules are local products in Hong Kong, which were sold through Hong Kong Huaxia based on consumers’ orders. One of the main businesses of Hong Kong Huaxia, a wholly-own subsidiary of the Company, is to sell health and specialized local products; therefore the products sold by Hong Kong Huaxia may vary from time to time depending on market demand.

Our total revenue decreased from $503,772 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $62,393 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $441,380 or 88%. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to:

1.
Purchasing and Reselling Ginseng:  Our revenues from the resale of purchased ginseng based on orders we received from customer decreased from $502,451 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The Company had no sales in our business of reselling ginseng because of the typhoon damage in August; the Company anticipates that the market price of ginseng will increase in the near future, although there can be no guarantee.  We will resume reselling our ginseng when the prices increase.
   
2.
Ginseng Beverage Sales:  Compared to the amount of $1,321 in sales in the three months ended September 30, 2012, we had no revenue from our ginseng beverage sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013. This was due to our very limited cash position in the fiscal year 2013, which prevented us from promoting our ginseng beverage. In order to improve the sale of ginseng beverages, we plan to: 1) adjust our marketing strategy of ginseng beverages by applying a new reduced size ginseng beverage in the fiscal year 2014; 2) enhance the Hong Kong Huaxia sales force through training classes or hiring more experienced sales persons; 3) adjust our online shopping platform to make it  more accessible and convenient for customers; and 4) raise capital from third parties to fund the above-mentioned strategies.
 
We believe that we will be able to improve the sale of ginseng beverages through the foregoing changes and expect that sales of our ginseng beverage will rise to 70% of our revenue in the next five years. However, there is no assurance that our sales of the ginseng beverage will meet our expectation as the market conditions may change.
 
Meanwhile, the management team plans to look for appropriate business candidates for merger or acquisition in order to increase overall revenues of the Company through a diversification of products.

Our total cost of goods sold decreased from $500,439 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $6,654 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, which is a decrease of $493,785 or 99%. The primary reason for the decrease was that we incurred no cost of goods sold in purchasing ginseng for resale and ginseng beverage in the three months ended September 30, 2013, because we had no sales of ginseng and ginseng juice during the period.

Our cost of goods sold is comprised of purchased Aoweisi cosmetic products and Ruiersui capsules for resale, which is $1,459 and $5,195, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Gross Profit
 
Gross profit was approximately $55,739 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $3,333 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $52,406 or 1574%. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in the cost of goods.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Sales costs, general expenses and administrative expenses decreased from $333,508 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $260,335 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $73,173 or 22%.  The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in our operation expenses for Jilin Huamei and Yanbian Huaxin.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense decreased by $22,641 from $82,661 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $60,020 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, representing a 27% decrease.  The change in imputed interest for related party loans and the interest paid to bank loans for the Jilin Ganzhi building are the primary reasons for the decrease in interest expense.
 
 Income Tax Expense

We do not have any income tax expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2013, due to the operation loss of Yanbian Huaxin.

Net Loss

The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $255,882, an increase of $ 1,137,320 or 82% compared to a net loss of $1,393,202 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The primary reason for the increase in a net loss during the period ended September 30, 2013 was a significant decrease in sales.   
 
Other Comprehensive Income

We operate primarily in the PRC and the functional currency of our operating subsidiary is the Chinese Renminbi (”RMB”).  The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions.  No representation is intended to imply that the Renminbi amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into the U.S. Dollar at the rate on September 30, 2013, or at any other rate.

The value of the RMB against the U.S. Dollar may fluctuate and is affected by changes in political and economic conditions. Our revenues, costs and financial assets are mostly denominated in RMB whereas our reporting currency is denominated in the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, this may result in gains or losses from currency translation on our financial statements.

Adjustments resulting from the currency translations amounted to $22,227 and $43,408 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  We also have a comprehensive loss of $233,655 and $1,436,610 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The amount of assets and liabilities with the exception of equity for the three months ended September 30, 2013, were translated at 6.148  RMB to 1.00 USD as compared to 6.3410 RMB to 1.00 USD for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate.

Operating Activities

Cash flow provided by operating activities is $97,380 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the comparative period in 2012. This change was mainly the result of a decrease in net losses of $255,882 in addition to an increase in due from related parties of $36,333 and an increase in accounts receivable of $57,458, which were offset by an increase in accounts payable of $460,061.

The increase in due from related parties was because of advanced expenses for our ginseng and beverage businesses, which were incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The increase in accounts payable was due to ginseng purchases during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in our accounts receivable represents the uncollected amounts from our increased credit sales during the three months ended September 30, 2013.
 
Investing Activities

We had no cash flow provided by (used in) investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Cash flow used in investing activities amounted to $272 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, which consisted of a purchase of office equipment of $272.  In July, 2012, the Company purchased a cell phone for the sales department.

 Financing activities

Cash flow used for the purpose of financing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2013, was $55,189, which primarily consisted of repayments of loans payable to related parties of $55,189.

Cash flows provided by financing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2012, was $119,892, primarily proceeds from loans payable to related parties of $119,892.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. We have historically financed our operation and capital expenditures through loans from related parties, including officers, directors and other shareholders of the Company and have raised capital through a Regulation S private placement as well. Our current activities are related to developing our new business strategy: the sale of ginseng juice and wine products.
 
As of September 30, 2013, there was no change in our loan payments compared with September 30, 2012 since the loans remained constant. As of September 30, 2013, we had an outstanding loan of RMB 2,000,000 (approximately $325,309) to Ji’An Qingshi Credit Cooperatives (“Ji’An Qingshi”). The principal terms of the loan are as follows:

 
1.
Type of Loan: Short Term Agriculture Loan
     
 
2.
Loan Purpose: Planting
     
 
3.
Loan Amount: Principal of RMB 2,000,000 (approximately USD $325,309 with an annual interest of 6.325%
     
 
4.
Loan Period:  From February 4, 2002 to February 4, 2003; Repayment due date was February 4, 2003
     
 
5.
Security: The loan is secured by the assets of Tonghua Linyuan including 14 carbon-steel storage cans, 16 high-speed steel storage cans, and 150 tons of grape juice.

We have not paid any principal or interest of the loan; however, Ji’An Qingshi verbally agreed in March 2008 not to call the loan. The material terms for the verbal agreement are: no principal or interest payments are required to be made until the Company is generating profits and interest continues to accrue until we repay the loan. On June 30, 2013, the Company disposed all of the assets and liabilities of Tonghua Linyuan to a third party and plans to dissolve Tonghua Linyuan which has become a shell with no operation.  The Company has retained $508,347 in contingent liability of Tonghua Linyuan for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
 
On August 30, 2012, we refinanced the 8 million RMB bank loan, which we obtained from Meihekou City Rural Credit Union on November 8, 2010, by obtaining a new loan of 8 million RMB (approximately $1,264,842) from the same lender.  The principal terms of the new 8 million RMB bank loan agreement are as follows:
 
 
Parties: Jilin Ganzhi Ginseng Products Co., Ltd (“Jilin Ganzhi”) and Meihekou City Rural Credit Union (“Meihekou Credit Union”);
 
 
Meihekou Credit Union granted a loan of RMB 8 million (approximately $ 1,264,842) to Jilin Ganzhi to be used in calling in and refunding; the term of the loan is 24 months from August 30, 2012 to August 29, 2014.

The loan carries a benchmark interest rate, which is the rate announced by the People’s Bank of China as an interest rate of the same type and class of loans at the date of the loan and changes with the adjustment of national bank rate.  Meihekou Credit Union calculates the interest on a monthly basis applying this annual floating rate, which is payable on the 21st day of each month. We paid interest of RMB 94,127 (approximately $14,838) on August 21, 2012. From September 2012 to June 30, 2013, we have not paid interest and we plan to pay all outstanding interest when we have sufficient cash.
 
 
Repay the principal by installments according to the following repayment plan: principal payment of RMB1M (approximately USD $159,096) on September 20, 2012, RMB 1 million (approximately $159,096) on August 29, 2013, RMB 1 million (approximately $159,096) on December 20, 2013 and RMB 5 million (approximately USD $795,481) on August 29, 2014.  The payment due in September 2012 was not made by the Company and the note is thus in default.
 
As of September 30, 2013, there was no change in our loan payments compared to September 30, 2012, since the loans remained constant.  Since the lender, Ji’An Qingshi Credit Cooperative has verbally agreed not to call the loan, we can repay this loan at our own discretion when funds are available. Thus, the debt in Tonghua Linyuan acquisition will not have an impact on our liquidity and capital resources before we start to repay the lender.
 
As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, we had notes payable of approximately $1,227,422  and $1,786,939 to related parties, respectively. These amounts are mainly due to the working capital demands of the business. Most of these related parties are our individual shareholders or immediate family members of our shareholders and friends of our shareholders.  The individuals loaned us interest free and unsecured funds, which have no specific repayment date.  The funds received are evidenced by receipt of cash acknowledgments.
 
As of September 30, 2013, we had no material commitments for capital expenditures other than for those expenditures incurred in the ordinary course of business. We plan to fund operations and capital expenditures with cash from operations as well as loans from major shareholders and management members and their affiliates. We might also pursue additional financings in the form of debt, equity or convertible security offerings. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such additional financing at acceptable terms to us, or at all.

(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
 
As of the end of our last fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2013 to cause the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Management conducted a similar evaluation as of the period covered by this Report and management again concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were similarly ineffective as of September 30, 2013.
 
(b)
Changes in internal control over financial reporting

Other than those disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ending June 30, 2013 that we continue to implement, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation management performed at the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
