RISK FACTORS

Investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this herein before making an investment decision.  If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.  You should also read the section entitled "Special Notes Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" below for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements as well as the significance of such statements in the context of this report.


RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We have a very limited operating history.Prior to the Sugarmade Acquisition, our Company was a “shell” company with no or nominal operations. Sugarmade-CA recently completed its funding and the related acquisition with our Company. Sugarmade-CA was formed in 2009 to market paper products manufactured from tree-free materials. Sugarmade-CA does not currently have significant operating revenues and has a very limited operating history. Because Sugarmade-CA has a limited operating history, we do not have any historical financial data upon which to base planned operations. Our historical financial information is not a reliable indicator of future performance or prospects.

The segments of the paper industry in which we operate are highly competitive and increased competition could affect our sales and profitability.We compete in different markets within the paper industry on the basis of the uniqueness of our products, the quality of our products, customer service, price and distribution. All of our markets are highly competitive. Our competitors vary in size and many have greater financial and marketing resources than we do. While we believe that our products offer unique advantages because of their tree-free composition, if we cannot maintain quality and pricing that are comparable to traditional products we may not be able to develop, or may lose, market share. In some of our markets, the industry’s capacity to make products exceeds current demand levels. Competitive conditions in some of our segments may cause us to incur lower net selling prices, reduced gross margins and net earnings.

Our tree-free products could encounter low consumer acceptance in our primary target markets, including our initial target market of North America.  The tree-free paper market in North America is relatively young with little publically available data on the size of the market in relation to the overall paper industry. There is only anecdotal data referencing the growing demand in the United States and abroad for paper products from tree-free sources. Our product is relatively new to consumers and does not have a significant sales history in many of our target markets.  Should our tree-free products not be accepted by consumers in these markets, particularly in the markets of our initial focus in North America, we could experience sales and operating results substantially less than we expect to achieve.  Such results could jeopardize our Company’s financial well-being and subject an investor to the loss of all or a portion of his investment in our Company.  

Our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by downturns in the target markets that we serve or reduced demand for the types of products we sell.Demand for our products is often affected by general economic conditions as well as product-use trends in our target markets. These changes may result in decreased demand for our products. The occurrence of these conditions is beyond our ability to control and, when they occur, they may have a significant impact on our sales and results of operations.Our products are comparably priced with paper products comprised of 30% recycled materials. Both our products and paper products comprised of 30% recycled materials are typically higher in cost than paper products made from virgin pulp wood. The inability or unwillingness of our customers to pay a premium for our products due to general economic conditions or a downturn in the economy may have a significant adverse impact on our sales and results of operations.

Changes within the paper industry may adversely affect our financial performance.Changes in the identity, ownership structure and strategic goals of our competitors and the emergence of new competitors in our target markets may harm our financial performance. New competitors may include foreign-based companies and commodity-based domestic producers who could enter our specialty markets if they are unable to compete in their traditional markets. The paper industry has also experienced consolidation of producers and distribution channels. Further consolidation could unite other producers with distribution channels through which we intend to sell our products, thereby limiting access to our target markets.

Any interruption in delivery from our only suppliersuppliers will impair our ability to distribute our products and generate revenues.We are dependent on a sole supplier—SCPC—third party contract manufacturers for the production of our products. We have no manufacturing facilities and we rely on SCPCthird party contract manufacturers to provide us with an adequate and reliable supply of products on a timely basis. Any interruption in the distribution from our sole supplierthese suppliers could affect our ability to distribute our products. Additionally, our sole supplier issuppliers are located outside of the United States in the PRC.People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Any legislation or consumer preferences in the United States or other countries



4




requiring products which are made in the United States or such other countries may have a material adverse impact on our sales and results of operations.

Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could limit the legal protections available for us to pursue any claim against SCPC,our third party contract manufacturers, and therefore our ability to protect our contract rights.We rely on SCPCthird party contract manufacturers for our supply of products. SCPC operatesThese third party suppliers operate entirely within the PRC. The PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involve uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to us in the event that we needed to bring a claim against SCPC.our suppliers. Courts in the PRC may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. The PRC does not have any treaties or other arrangements that provide for



3




the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments with the United States. So it is uncertain whether a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States. Any litigation we may try to bring in the PRC may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

If we fail to maintain satisfactory relationships with our larger customers, our business may be harmed.We do not have and are unlikely to enter into long-term fixed quantity supply agreements with our customers. Due to competition or other factors, we could lose future business from our customers, either partially or completely. Additionally, during our last fiscal year we produced certain batches of paper which did not meet the quality standards required by our customers which resulted in dissatisfaction by those customers.  This dissatisfaction may have also harmed our reputation and ability to sell our products to those customers and other customers in the future.  The future loss of one or more of our significant customers or a substantial future reduction of orders by any of our significant customers, or the unwillingness of a customer to purchase our products again due to concerns over the quality of the paper they previously purchased could harm our business and results of operations. Moreover, our customers may vary their order levels significantly from period to period and customers may not continue to place orders with us in the future at the same levels as in prior periods. In the event that in the future we lose any of our larger customers, we may not be able to replace that revenue source. This could harm our financial results.

The costs of complying with environmental regulations may increase substantially and adversely affect our consolidated financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.SCPC isOur Company’s third party contract manufacturers are subject to various environmental laws and regulations that govern discharges into the environment and the handling and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes. Environmental laws impose liabilities and clean-up responsibilities for releases of hazardous substances into the environment. However, many PRC laws and regulations are uncertain in their scope, and the implementation of such laws and regulations in different localities could have significant differences. In certain instances, local implementation rules and/or the actual implementation are not necessarily consistent with the regulations at the national level. We cannot assure you that the relevant PRC government authorities will not determine that SCPC hasour suppliers have failed to comply with certain laws or regulations. SCPCOur Company’s suppliers will likely continue to incur substantial capital and operating expenses in order to comply with current laws. Any future changes in these laws or their interpretation by government agencies or the courts may significantly increase SCPC’sour suppliers’ capital expenditures and operating expenses and decrease the amount of funds available for investment in other areas of their operations. In addition, SCPCour Company’s suppliers may be required to eliminate or mitigate any adverse effects on the environment caused by the release of hazardous materials, whether or not SCPCSCPC’s suppliers had knowledge of or were responsible for such release. SCPCOur suppliers may also incur liabilities for personal injury and property damages as a result of discharges into the environment. If costs or liabilities related to environmental compliance increase significantly for SCPC,our suppliers, such costs could be passed along to us in the form of higher prices paid for SCPC supplied materials. Our consolidated financial condition, liquidity or results of operations may be adversely affected in the event that we were forced to absorb such costs.

If SCPCour third party contract manufacturers were to suffer a catastrophic loss, unforeseen or recurring operational problems at any of its facilities, we could suffer significant product shortages, sales declines and/or cost increases.SCPC’sThe paper making and converting facilities of our third party suppliers as well as itstheir distribution warehouses could suffer catastrophic loss due to fire, flood, terrorism, mechanical failure or other natural or human caused events. If any of these facilities were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could disrupt our supply of products for sale, delay or reduce shipments and reduce our revenues. These expenses and losses may not be adequately covered by property or business interruption insurance. Even if covered by insurance, our inability to deliver our products to customers, even on a short-term basis, may cause us to lose market share on a more permanent basis.

Our ability to protect the intellectual property and proprietary technology related to the production of our products is uncertain. Our future success may depend on our ability to protect the proprietary rights and the intellectual property upon which our tree-free products are based.  SCPC holds several patents in the People’s Republic of China related to the production of tree-free paper, and under the terms of our supply agreement with SCPC, we have the right to request SCPC to file for counterpart patent protection in Sugarmade’s territories and for copyright protection for the name “Sugarmade,” but we have not yet made such requests. Should we



5




make such a request to SCPC, any patent applications may not be issued as patents, or may not be issued in a form that will be advantageous to us, or we may not be able to obtain copyright protection for the name “Sugarmade”.  Additionally, our Company is in the process of applying for a provisional patent in the US to protect its new formulation and process for its most recent tree free pulp and paper product. Any patents obtained in the future may be challenged by re-examination or otherwise invalidated or eventually be found unenforceable.  Both the patent application process and the process of managing patent disputes can be time consuming and expensive.  Even if any patents were to be granted, competitors may attempt to challenge or invalidate the patents, or may be able to design alternative techniques or devices that avoid infringement of the patents, or develop products with functionalities that are comparable to the tree-free products which we sell. In the event a competitor infringes upon our intellectual property rights, litigation to enforce such rights or to defend patents granted (or to be granted) against challenge, even if successful, could be expensive and time consuming and could require significant time and attention from our management. We may not have sufficient resources to enforce our intellectual property rights.


We may become involved in claims concerning intellectual property rights, and we could suffer significant litigation or related expenses in defending our or SCPC’s intellectual property rights or defending claims that we infringed the rights of others.We consider our licensed intellectual property to be a material asset. We may lose market share and suffer a decline in our revenue and net earnings if we cannot successfully defend one or more trademarks or patents we have secured or licensed. We do not believe that any of our products infringe the valid intellectual property rights of third parties. However, we may be unaware of intellectual property rights of others that may cover some of our products or services. In that event, we may be subject to significant future claims for damages. Any litigation regarding patents or other intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and could divert our management and key personnel from our business operations. Claims of intellectual property infringement might also require us to enter into licensing agreements which would reduce our operating margins, or in some cases, we may not be able to obtain license agreements on terms acceptable to us.

FINANCIAL RISKS

Our current business plan requires that our Company raise additional equity by the end of fiscal year 2012. We do not currently have sufficient revenues to cover our operating expenses and have never been profitable. We cannot be certain that our Company will ever generate sufficient revenues and gross margin to achieve profitability in the future.  Our business plan requires that our Company needs to raise additional equity by the end of our 2012 fiscal year end.  However, there are no arrangements in place for any such financing at this time.  We cannot provide any assurances as to whether we will be able to secure any necessary financing, or the terms of any such financing transaction if one were to occur.  Our failure to raise additional capital would seriously harm our business and operating results.  If we fail to raise additional capital by the end of 2012, our business will be materially and adversely affected and an investor could suffer the loss of a significant portion or all of his investment in our Company.

If we cannot establish profitable operations, we will need to raise additional capital to continue our operations, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and which may dilute your investment.We incurred a net loss for the yearthree months ended December 31, 2010September 30, 2012 of $598,481.nearly $629,000 and had negative cash flows from operations in excess of $245,000. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 we incurred a net loss of nearly $791,000 and had negative cash flows from operations of nearly $660,000.  Achieving and sustaining profitability will require us to increase our revenues and manage our product, operating and administrative expenses. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in achieving profitability. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to pay our expenses and our existing sources of cash and cash flows are otherwise insufficient to fund our activities, we will need to raise additional funds to continue our operations. We do not have any arrangements in place for additional funds. If needed, those funds may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. Furthermore, if we issue equity or debt securities to raise additional funds, our existing stockholders may experience dilution, and the new equity or debt securities may have



4




rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. If we are unsuccessful in achieving profitability and we cannot obtain additional funds on commercially reasonable terms or at all, we may be required to curtail significantly or cease our operations, which could result in the loss of all of your investment in our stock.

We are dependent upon our production credit borrowing arrangement with SCPC and Norco Sourcing (Hong Kong) Co. Ltd in order to fund our working capital and liquidity requirements.  We have signed an agreement with SCPC, and most recently secured a line of credit with Norco Sourcing(Hong Kong) Co. Ltd (“Norco”), to provide our Company with credit facilities to fund the production of our paper products.  Our plans going forward are dependent upon SCPC and Norcoin providing such financing upon the terms we have agreed to and there are currently no other alternate financing plans in place.  Should there be an interruption in either SCPC’s or Norco willingness or ability to provide such financing per the terms of the agreements, we could face a severe liquidity shortfall that could cause our Company’s operations to fail and which could consequently result in the loss of an investor’s investment with our Company.

We may not have the ability to pay our convertible notes when due.Between August and January15, 2013, our Company has issued convertible promissory notes totaling $500,000 which must be repaid by our Company within 9 months after their date of issuance.  Our Company does not have sufficient capital to repay the notes as of the date of this report, and may not have sufficient capital to repay the notes when due. Our Company’s inability to repay the notes when due would permit the note holders to exercise their default remedies against our Company which could have a material adverse effect on our Company.


Conversion of our convertible notes into common stock could result in additional dilution to our stockholders.Upon satisfaction of certain conversion conditions (including conditions outside of our control, such as the closing of a financing), the notes may be converted into shares of Company common stock by the note holders.  If shares of our common stock are issued due to conversion of some or all of the convertible notes, the ownership interests of existing stockholders would be diluted.


Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that theour Company will continue as a going concern. We have generated losses to date and have limited working capital. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their recent audit report included herein.for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.  If we cannot generate the required revenues and gross margin to achieve profitability or obtain additional capital on acceptable terms, we will need to substantially revise our business plan or cease operations and an investor could suffer the loss of a significant portion or all of his investment in our Company.


Fluctuations in exchange rates could adversely affect our cost of goods sold and consequently our profit margins.The price we pay for product from SCPCour third party suppliers in China will be directly affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and the Chinese Renminbi ("RMB") and between those currencies and other currencies in which our sales may be denominated. Because substantially all of our product purchases will be from SCPCour suppliers in China, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the RMB will affect the prices that we effectively pay for product.Sinceproduct. Since July 2005, the RMB has no longer been pegged to the U.S. dollar. Although the People's Bank of China regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to prevent significant short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate, the RMB may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the medium to long term. Moreover, it is possible that in the future PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the RMB exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.Very limited hedging transactions are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions. While we may enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these transactions may be limited, and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure at all.

As we transition from a Company with insignificant revenues to what we hope will be a Company generating substantial revenues, we may not be able to manage our growth effectively, which could adversely affect our operations and financial performance.The ability to manage and operate our business as we execute our growth strategy will require effective planning. Significant rapid growth could strain our internal resources, leading to a lower quality of customer service, reporting problems and delays in meeting important deadlines resulting in loss of market share and other problems that could adversely affect our financial performance. Our efforts to grow could place a significant strain on our personnel, management systems, infrastructure and other resources. If we do not manage our growth effectively, our operations could be adversely affected, resulting in slower growth and a failure to achieve or sustain profitability.


We do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and we may never pay dividends and, consequently, the only opportunity for investors to achieve a return on their investment is if a trading market develops and investors are able to sell their shares for a profit or if our business is sold at a price that enables investors to recognize a profit.We currently intend to retain any future earnings to support the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors after taking into account various factors, including but not limited to our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time. In addition, our ability to pay dividends on our common stock may be limited by state law. Accordingly, we cannot assure investors any return on their investment, other than in connection with a sale of their shares or a sale of our business. At the present time there is a limited trading market for our shares. Therefore, holders of our securities may be unable to sell them. We cannot assure investors that an active trading market will develop or that any third party will offer to purchase our business on acceptable terms and at a price that would enable our investors to recognize a profit.


Our net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forward is limited. We have recorded a valuation allowance amounting to our entire net deferred tax asset balance due to our lack of a history of earnings, possible statutory limitations on the use of tax loss carry-forwards generated in the past and the future expiration of our NOL. This gives rise to uncertainty as to whether the net deferred tax asset is realizable. Internal Revenue Code Section 382, and similar California rules, place a limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be offset by carry-forwards after a change in control (generally greater than a 50% change in ownership). As a result of these



7




provisions, it is likely that given our acquisition of Sugarmade-CA, future utilization of the NOL will be severely limited. Our inability to use our Company’s historical NOL, or the full amount of the NOL, would limit our ability to offset any future tax liabilities with its NOL.

CORPORATE AND OTHER RISKS

Limitations on director and officer liability and indemnification of our Company’s officers and directors by us may discourage stockholders from bringing suit against an officer or director. Our Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide, with certain exceptions as permitted by governing state law, that a director or officer shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law, or unlawful payments of dividends. These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing suit against a director for breach of fiduciary duty and may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation brought by stockholders on our behalf against a director.


We are responsible for the indemnification of our officers and directors. Should our officers and/or directors require us to contribute to their defense, we may be required to spend significant amounts of our capital. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on behalf of our Company. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures, which we may be unable to recoup. If these expenditures are significant, or involve issues which result in significant liability for our key personnel, we may be unable to continue operating as a going concern.


Our executive officers, directors and insider stockholders beneficially own or control a substantial portion of our outstanding common stock, which may limit your ability and the ability of our other stockholders, whether acting alone or together, to propose or direct the management or overall direction of our Company.Additionally, this concentration of ownership could discourage or prevent a potential takeover of our Company that might otherwise result in an investor receiving a premium over the market price for his shares. A substantial portion of our outstanding shares of common stock is beneficially owned and controlled by a group of insiders, including our directors and executive officers. Accordingly, any of our existing outside principal stockholders together with our directors, executive officers and insider shareholders would have the power to control the election of our directors and the approval of actions for which the approval of our stockholders is required. If you acquire shares of our common stock, you may have no effective voice in the management of our Company. Such concentrated control of our Company may adversely affect the price of our common stock. Our principal stockholders may be able to control matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors, mergers or other business combinations. Such concentrated control may also make it difficult for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock in the event we merge with a third party or enter into different transactions which require stockholder approval. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.


Certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation may make it more difficult for a third party to effect a change-of-control.Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the Board of Directors without further action by the stockholders. These terms may include preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of any preferred stock could diminish the rights of holders of our common stock, and therefore could reduce the value of such common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with, or sell assets to, a third party. The ability of the Board of Directors to issue preferred stock could make it more difficult, delay, discourage, prevent or make it more costly to acquire or effect a change-in-control, which in turn could prevent our stockholders from recognizing a gain in the event that a favorable offer is extended and could materially and negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

We are dependent for our success on a few key executive officers. Our inability to retain those officers would impede our business plan and growth strategies, which would have a negative impact on our business and the value of your investment. Our success depends on the skills, experience and performance of key members of our management team. Each of those individuals may voluntarily terminate his employment with theour Company at any time. Were we to lose one or more of these key executive officers, we would be forced to expend significant time and money in the pursuit of a replacement, which would result in both a delay in the implementation of our business plan and the diversion of limited working capital. We do not maintain a key man insurance policy on any of our executive officers.

CAPITAL MARKET RISKS


Our common stock is thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.There is limited market activity in our stock and we are too small to attract the interest of many brokerage firms and analysts. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading



6




market for our common stock will develop or be sustained. While we are trading on OTC Markets, the trading volume we will develop may be limited by the fact that many major institutional investment funds, including mutual funds, as well as individual investors follow a policy of not investing in OTC stocks and certain major brokerage firms restrict their brokers from recommending OTC stocks because they are considered speculative, volatile, thinly traded and the market price of the common stock may not accurately reflect the underlying value of our Company. The market price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses, announcements of new products or services by us, significant sales of our common stock, including “short” sales, the operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable to us, and news reports relating to trends in our markets or general economic conditions.


The application of the “penny stock” rules to our common stock could limit the trading and liquidity of the common stock, adversely affect the market price of our common stock and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares.As long as the trading price of our common stock is below $5 per share, the open-market trading of our common stock will be subject to the “penny stock” rules, unless we otherwise qualify for an exemption from the “penny stock” definition. The “penny stock” rules impose additional sales practice requirements on certain broker-dealers who sell securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse). These regulations, if they apply, require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks. Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination regarding such a purchaser and receive such purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. These regulations may have the effect of limiting the trading activity of our common stock, reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock and increasing the transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common stock as compared to other securities. The stock market in general and the market prices for penny stock companies in particular, have experienced volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our stock, regardless of our operating performance. Stockholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include 1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; 2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; 3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; 4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and 5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.


We may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms, which could have a material adverse impact on the market value of our common stock.Security analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our common stock since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. The absence of such coverage limits the likelihood that an active market will develop for our common stock. It will also likely make it more difficult to attract new investors at times when we require additional capital.


We may be unable to list our common stock on NASDAQ or on any securities exchange. Although we may apply to list our common stock on NASDAQ or the American Stock Exchange in the future, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the initial listing standards, including the minimum per share price and minimum capitalization requirements, or that we will be able to maintain a listing of our common stock on either of those or any other trading venue. Until such time as we qualify for listing on NASDAQ, the American Stock Exchange or another trading venue, our common stock will continue to trade on OTC Markets or another over-the-counter quotation system where an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In addition, rules promulgated by the SEC impose various practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities that fail to meet certain criteria set forth in those rules to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, these rules may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect the liquidity of our common stock. It would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.

Future sales of our equity securities could put downward selling pressure on our securities, and adversely affect the stock price.There is a risk that this downward pressure may make it impossible for an investor to sell his or her securities at any reasonable price, if at all. Future sales of substantial amounts of our equity securities in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could put downward selling pressure on our securities, and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus includes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are those that predict or describe future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. You can generally identify forward-looking statements as statements containing the words "believe," "expect," "will," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "project," "plan," "assume" or other similar expressions, or negatives of those expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. All statements contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus regarding our future strategy, future operations, projected financial position, estimated future revenues, projected costs, future prospects, the future of our industries and results that might be obtained by pursuing management's current plans and objectives are forward-looking statements.

You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our forward-looking statements are based on the information currently available to us and speak only as of the date on the cover of this prospectus, or, in the case of forward-looking statements in documents incorporated by reference, as of the date of the date of the filing of the document that includes the statement. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these matters or how they may affect us. Over time, our actual results, performance or achievements will likely differ from the anticipated results, performance or achievements that are expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, and such difference might be significant and materially adverse to our security holders. Except with respect to our obligation to provide amendments for material changes to the Prospectus during the duration of the offer and sale of our common stock by the selling stockholders, we do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to update any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any statements to reflect new information or future events or developments.

We have identified some of the important factors that could cause future events to differ from our current expectations and they are described in this prospectus under the caption "Risk Factors," above, and elsewhere in this prospectus which you should review carefully. Please consider our forward-looking statements in light of those risks as you read this prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS

This prospectus covers 6,048,700shares6,068,700shares of our common stock, which may be sold from time to time by the selling stockholders.  Should the holders of the warrants exercise all of their warrants to purchase shares of our common stock for a cash payment, the cash proceeds to be received by the Company would total $4,278,400,$4,308,400, although there can be no assurance that the warrant holders will exercise all or any of their warrants or that (as allowed) they will not choose to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. AnyCurrently, since we do not forecast the need for significant acquisitions of property and equipment in order to advance our Company’s viability and since we have no outstanding debt above vendor accounts payable and small balances of other current liabilities and since we do not know if or when warrant holders would exercise their warrants through cash payment, we have no planned uses for any cash proceeds willthat would be usedreceived upon the exercise of outstanding warrants.  Therefore, such proceeds (should they be received) would likely be maintained by the Company for working capitalin the form of cash and general corporate purposes.short-term investments until such time as a better opportunity should arise to put such funds to better use.

The quotes represent inter-dealer prices, without adjustment for retail mark-up, markdown or commission and may not represent actual transactions.  The trading volume of our securities fluctuates and may be limited during certain periods.  As a result of these volume fluctuations, the liquidity of an investment in our securities may be adversely affected.

Holders

As of August 1, 2011, January 29, 2013, we estimate that there were approximately 900 stockholders of record of our common stock.      

Dividends

We have never declared or paid a cash dividend.  Any future decisions regarding dividends will be made by our Board of Directors.  We currently intend to retain and use any future earnings for the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  Our Board of Directors has complete discretion on whether to pay dividends, subject to the approval of our stockholders.  Even if our Board of Directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant.  

Equity Compensation Plans

On May 5, 2011, our Board of Directors adopted the Diversified Opportunities, Inc. 2011 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the “Plan”).    On May 20th, the plan was approved by a vote of the majority of our shareholders. The Plan is intended to promote the interests of our Company by “providing eligible person with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an incentive for them to remain in the service of the Corporation.”  The Plan is divided into two separate equity programs: 1) a stock option grant program; and 2) a stock issuance program.  The maximum number of shares available to be issued under the Plan is currently 1,500,000 shares, subject to adjustments for any stock splits, stock dividends or other specified adjustments which may take place in the future.  

The Plan is administered by our Company’s Board of Directors.  Persons eligible to participate in the Plan are: 1) employees; 2) non-employee members of our Company’s Board of Directors; and 3) consultants and other independent advisors who provide services to our Company or its subsidiary Sugarmade – CA.  All grants under the Plan are intended to comply with the requirements under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and activities under the Plan will be administered accordingly.  Options granted under the Plan are evidenced by agreement between the recipient and our Company, subject to the following general provisions: 1) the exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value per share of our Company’s common stock on the date of grant (110% in the case of 10% or greater shareholders); and 2) the term of stock options shall be limited to a maximum of ten years.  A complete description of the Plan is included as an exhibit to this Current Report.

BUSINESS

We are a distributor of paper products that are derived from non-wood sources.  We are parties to an Exclusive License and Supply Agreement (“LSA”) with Sugar Cane Paper Company (“SCPC”), a company located in the People’s Republic of China.  SCPC is a contract manufacturer and a holder of intellectual property rights and patents in the area of developing and manufacturing paper from non-wood sources.  Under the LSA, we hold the exclusive right to market, distribute and manufacture SCPC’s proprietary products in Europe, North, Central and South America, Australia and in other designated territories in the world.  We also obtained the rights (within the designated territories) to the SugarmadeSugarmade™ brand name and trademarks.    Historically, Sugarmade has leveraged this relationship and corresponding agreement to initially insure production and management of its products. Presently, Sugarmade has been able to diversify its manufacturing and process management options to include other third party contract manufacturers.  As of June 30, 2012, our Company wrote off the value of the LSA which was reported as an intangible asset in our prior annual and quarterly reports.

We believe that our Company has a unique advantage in the market to provide paper products derived from earth-friendly sources to much of the world’s population.  SCPC’scorporations and consumers alike.  Our third party contract manufacturers’ use of agricultural residuals, namely bagasse (derived from sugar cane) and bamboo, as opposed to wood products, significantly reduces its manufacturing carbon footprint, energy consumption, and attendant water pollution during the manufacture of its products.  This allows us to offer our unique, exclusive, tree-free paper products at price-parity equal to or less than current recycled fiber products already on the market.  Our products are unique and we believe offer an ideal solution for those consumers (both corporate and individual) seeking to meet their sustainability mandates or personal environmentally conscious goals, at a price that is equal to or less than current recycled products.  


Throughout 2012, our Company gained additional knowledge regarding manufacturing, quality control, process controls and vendor relationships with respect to the production of its paper products. Our Company has continued to refine and update its paper formulation and manufacturing processes to create an even higher quality paper that we believe to have broader applications in the US printing paper business. To accomplish this reformulation and process improvement, our Company worked directly and more closely with its third party contract manufacturers to align their processes with our updated and higher quality processes. We believe our Company now has more controls over quality, pricing, delivery and logistics, and is no longer solely dependent on SCPC for management of its manufacturing process.


Pulp and paper manufacturing processes have not changed significantly for decades.  Most equipment and processes used today are still based primarily on tree-based inputs and require massive amounts of resources including water, energy and caustic chemicals. Globally, pulp for“World consumption of paper and related uses is expected to continue to consume an increasing sharehas grown 400 percent in the last 40 years. Now nearly 4 billion trees or 35 percent of all wood production, from forty percent (40%)the total trees cut around the world are used in 1998 to an estimated nearly sixty percent (60%paper industries on every continent.” (Source: Sam Martin, “Paper Chase” September 10, 2011 (http:// www.ecology.com/2011/09/10/paper-chase/) over the next fifty years. During that same time span,) Over these last four decades, easily accessible and inexpensive sources of wood will continue disappearing.have continued to disappear.  Because of the rapid consumption of virgin forests in places as far apart as Canada and Southeast Asia, forest restoration has not been able to keep pace with the demand for wood products.


Loss of forests is not the only concern.  Deforestation has releasedreleases an estimated 1201.6 billion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2 - the major global warming gas) into the atmosphere.atmosphere every year.  Most people assume that greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere are caused by burning oil and gas. But in fact between 25 and 30 percent of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere each is caused by deforestation (Source: Christopher Matthews, “Deforestation causes global warming” September 4, 2006 (http://www.fao.org/newsroom/en/news/2006/1000385/index.html)). The pulp and paper industry is the third-largest industrial polluter in both Canada and the United States releasing an estimated 220 million pounds(Source: ”Reforming the Paper Industry” September 19, 2006 (http://www.nrdc.org/cities/living/paper/default.asp)).  Worldwide, pulp and paper is the fifth largest industrial consumer of toxic pollution into the air, ground and water each year.energy. In the United States paper-producing companies are the third-largest energy consumer.it is second (Source: Carolina D’Souza, “Paper Goes Green” July 16, 2009 (http://archive.gulfnews.com/articles/09/07/13/10330811.html)).  Our Company offers an alternative to this situation through our ability to provide the developed world paper products without utilizing the deforestation, pollution and resource waste of current paper producing methods.


All our products are manufactured from 100% tree-free agricultural waste residues such as bagasse and bamboo.  Both bagasse and bamboo contain significantly higher amounts of cellulose (2.5 times or more) than wood fiber. Additionally, both sugar cane and bamboo can be harvested in 7-10 months.months (Source: ”Sugarcane Growth Stages” April 08, 2009 (http://agropedia.iitk.ac.in/?q=content/sugarcane-growth-stages),Source: Phil Comer, “The Bamboo Growth Cycle” February 2, 2009).  This contrasts with trees that take a minimum of seven years before being ready for pulping and paper production. By utilizing bagasse and bamboo fibers for paper making, we can produce one ton of finished paper product for every one ton of raw material as contrasted to wood fiber which requires nearly four tons of raw material to produce one ton of finished products.products (Source: Phoebe Hall, “Words on Paper: Tree Free or Recycled?” May 11, 2005 (www.emagizine.com)).  Our process greatly reduces the carbon footprint and environmental damages from paper production.

History


Our Company was originally incorporated on June 5, 1986 in California as Lab, Inc. and later the same month, on June 24, 1986, changed its name to Software Professionals, Inc. On April 20, 1994, following the filing of a registration statement on Form S-1, our Company began quoting its stock on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol “SFTW”.  During this time our Company was in the software solutions business, developing, marketing, and supporting software products designed to automate the management of computer systems for commercial concerns.  On May 21, 1996, our Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation changing its name to Enlighten Software Solutions, Inc.  On October 23, 1998, our Company's common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market.  


During August 2001, our Company filed a Form 15 for the purpose of deregistering its securities.  On September 13, 2001, our Company filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 7, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of California.  On November 2, 2004, the Trustee filed its Report of Distribution and on January 4, 2005 a final decree was entered and the case was closed.  On or near July 10, 2007, we filed the requisite documents with the State of California for the purpose of reinstating our corporate charter.  In October 2007, Corporate Services International Profit Sharing Plan (“CSIPSP”) agreed to contribute $30,000 as paid-in capital to our Company, the entire amount of which was contributed in January 2008.  In consideration for the capital contribution, in October 2007 our Company issued to CSIPSP 225,000,000 shares of its common stock (pre-split, 9,000,000 post-split) representing approximately 97.83% of its common stock outstanding on that date.  On July 30, 2007, our Company through a series of transactions effectively reincorporated in the state of Delaware, while retaining the capital structure and number of shares outstanding of the previous California corporation.  On January 14, 2008, our Company officially changed its name to Diversified Opportunities, Inc.  On February 11, 2008, our Company enacted a reverse split of its common stock on a 1:25 basis and concurrently increased its authorized capital stock to 310,000,000 shares comprised of 300,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value and 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, $.001 par value.


Effective May 30, 2008, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated May 16, 2008 (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between QRSciences Holdings Limited (“QRSciences”), an Australian corporation (“QRSciences”) and CSIPSP, QRSciences purchased all of CSIPSP’s 9,000,000 shares of DVOP common stock (“Common Stock”) in exchange for the payment of $650,000 by QRSciences to CSIPSP. The 9,000,000 shares of DVOP common stock constituted 97.83% of the 9,199,192 shares of Company common stock outstanding at that time.  This purchase of CSIPSP’s shares by QRSciences resulted in a change of control. On April 13, 2010, QRSciences completed the sale of the 9,000,000 shares of our Company’s common stock which they owned to CT Partners, a California general partnership.


From the legal incorporation of Sugarmade-CA in March 2009 through October 2009, activities were primarily limited to exploring strategic alternatives and related negotiations in connection with what was to become its future operating business. On October 26, 2009, weSugarmade-CA (operating at the time as Simple Earth, Inc.) acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Sugarmade, Inc. (“SMI”), a California corporation incorporated to import, sell and distribute sustainable and environmentally friendly non-tree-based paper products. During 2010,SMI primarily sold its 100% tree free copy paper, as well as other 100% tree free paper products such as plates, bowls, napkins and toilet tissue.  SMI did not have a long history having been founded in May 2009, nor did it have significant sales of its products and was therefore in search of a sales outlet for its products when acquired by Sugarmade-CA.  


Sugarmade-CA acquired all of the outstanding common stock of SMI in exchange for: 1) cash totaling $340,000; 2) a note payable totaling $60,000 (subsequently forgiven in February 2011); and 3) 10% of the then outstanding common stock of our Company or 72,973 shares (with a nominal value at the date of acquisition of $.001 per share).  Additionally, we began doing business asare required to pay up to two additional earn-out payments of $200,000 to the seller of SMI: 1) if net income equals or exceeds $10 million in 2011; and/or 2) if net income exceeds $11 million in 2012.


In addition to minimal amounts of saleable inventory, SMI also had an exclusive license and supply agreement (“LSA”) with Sugar Cane Paper Company (“SCPC”) located in the People’s Republic of China.  SCPC is a contract manufacturer and a holder of intellectual property in the area of paper from non-wood sources.  Under the LSA (as subsequently amended), we obtained the exclusive right (as defined) to market, distribute and manufacture SCPC’s proprietary products in Europe, North and South America and in other designated territories in the world.  We also obtained the rights to the Sugarmade Inc. (“Sugarmade-CA”).brand name and trademarks and other provisions of the agreement with SCPC also inure to the benefit of our Company.  On February 1,17, 2011, Sugarmade-CA changed its legal nameSCPC forgave all amounts including accrued interest outstanding under the note payable due to Sugarmade, Inc. and dissolvedthem totaling $62,800.  We accounted for the SMI legal entity.  forgiveness as a capital contribution.  


On May 9,April 23, 2011, we entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Sugarmade-CA. Under the Companyterms of the Exchange Agreement, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Sugarmade-CA through a share exchange agreement.(the "Exchange").  On May 9, 2011, our Company completed the Exchange.  Our Company then changed its name from “Diversified Opportunities, Inc.” to “Sugarmade, Inc.”

Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, Sugarmade-CA’s shareholders exchanged all of their shares of stock on a one-for-one basis for an aggregate of 8,864,108 shares of our common stock.  In connection with the Exchange Agreement and effective at the closing of the Exchange transaction, our previous three principal shareholders agreed to enter into a Share Cancellation Agreement pursuant to which 8,762,500 shares held by them were canceled or redeemed in exchange for the Company’s payment of $210,000, the issuance of 200,000 warrants to purchase our common stock at $1.25 per share, and certain registration rights.  



The Industry and the Overall Market

Currently, the U.S. paperPulp and Paper industry is a $230estimated to be an almost $200 billion industry. The U.S. alone consumesis estimated to consume over 110100 million tons of paper products each year.year (Source: Martin, “Paper Chase”). Our areaareas of focus includesare (but SCPC’s manufacturing capabilities are not limited to):


Printing and writing paper (27% of total production);

Containerboard or corrugated boxes (29% of total production); and

Tissue (8% of total production).


Within each of these sectors, there are varying amounts of recycled materials that can be used in production. Tissue has an industry average of 45% recycled fibers. Containerboard averages 24% recycled fibers.  Printing and writing paper uses a scant 6% recycled fibers.fibers (Source: S. Kinsella et al, “The State of the Paper Industry”, 2007, Pg. 17.).  We see a significant market opportunity to leverage our capabilities to eliminate tree materials included in these products.


The advent of the Internet and email would at first sight seem to argue for decreased paper consumption.  Many (including industry experts) forecasted that these technologies would lead to substantial reductions in the level of paper consumption.  The reality has been the opposite. Paper sales have increased roughly four percent annually since the onset of the Internet age.  Worldwide, paper constitutes approximately 42% of the wood harvested in the world.world (Source: “Paper Listening Study – Question 64” (http://www.conservatree.org/paperlisteningstudy/Forests/question64.html)).  The U.S. alone consumes nearly 30% of the world’s paper

products.  The average American consumes over 700749 pounds of paper per year, including the paper products that are the focus of our market strategy.  strategy (Source: Martin, “Paper Chase”).


Paper is manufactured from three primary sources: 1) tree-based (i.e. virgin) materials; 2) recycled content (varying compositions of virgin and recycled) materials; and 3) tree-free materials. Tree-based paper is made from trees harvested from the forest, converted into pulp and bleached. Recycled (to varying percentages of composition) paper is a combination of virgin materials combined with previously used paper that undergoes an additional de-inking and bleaching process before further pulping process.  


Tree-free paper (our Company’s product offering) is made from fibrous materials that contain high levels of cellulose. The sources of tree-free products are agricultural byproducts, also called residuals.   As a byproduct, residuals do not require dedicated farmland.  Aside from preserving forest and farmland, residuals also greatly reduce environmental impact because of the reduction of water required in paper production, the decreased energy required to break down the cellulose in tree-based materials and a reduction of air pollution from the use of previously burned byproducts. Unlike competing manufacturers, our paper products are elemental chlorine free, meaning that we use chlorine dioxide (ClO2) instead of elemental chlorine (Cl) gas in our manufacturing process.  Elemental chlorine (Cl) gas produces dioxin (a“…produce toxic chlorinated organic compounds, including chloroform, a known carcinogen)carcinogen. These compounds are released into waterways as a by-product.  effluent from the bleaching process, where they produce environmental damage.” (Source: Scott Beckner, “  Paper Information and Resources: Chlorine-Free Paper” October 05, 2010 (http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/paper/chlorinefree/default.htm)).


Agricultural residual paper is produced from the waste by-products from a crop that has been harvested. While there are numerous crops that can be used for this, the ideal crops are bagasse (sugar cane), corn and wheat. The quality of these agricultural residual papers differs depending on the amount of cellulose that is present in the plant material. Depending on the strength of the fibers of the residual, a secondary material may have to be added to increase the strength of the final paper product. In some manufacturing processes, virgin or recycled pulp will be added to strengthen the paper. With our paper products, we combine bamboo with the bagasse pulp to give the strength necessary to produce the highest quality paper. The percentages of bamboo vary depending on products being produced (e.g. copy paper is 80% bagasse and 20% bamboo).produced.


The paper industry is the fourth largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions among U.S. manufacturing industries and contributes 9% of the manufacturing sector's carbon emissions.emissions (Dan Shaply, “15 Facts about the Paper Industry…” October 2, 2007 (http://www.thedailygreen.com/environmental-news/latest/7447)).

*Data from EDF Paper Calculator (Environmental Paper Network Paper Calculator. (http://www.papercalculator.org)) **Internal Sugarmade Statistics

We believe that trends in government, corporate and consumer awareness of the environmental impacts of paper production will increase demand for alternative paper supplies which are more environmentally friendly.  Within the market for environmentally friendly paper, we believe that our tree-free products are unique in their low carbon footprint.  In addition, our relationship with SCPC gives us access to experience in manufacturing tree-free paper and the ability to reach commercial scale quickly.  It is important to note that the tree-free paper market in North America is relatively young with little publically available data on the size of the market in relation to the overall paper industry. At this time, there is only anecdotal data referencing the growing demand in the United States and abroad for paper products from tree-free sources.


Our Partner SCPC: Capacity, License and Territory

SCPC is a 56 year-old paper products company and is among the largest bagasse and bamboo pulping companies in the world.  With over a half-century of experience, research, and business development effort, SCPC contends that it is the largest producer of 100% tree-free paper products in the Asian markets.  SCPCThrough our third party contract manufacturers, our Company converts plant material from the waste residuals of sugar cane (bagasse) and bamboo to commercial grade tree-free fibers.  SCPC’sOur Company’s processes are proprietary and patented and previously virtually all of its paper products were marketed and consumed in the Asian markets.  SCPC has been selling tree-free paper products into the Asian markets for over fifty years.proprietary.  


Under the LSA, we are the exclusive distributor for all of SCPC’s tree-free and bagasse-based products in the Americas, Europe, Australia and New Zealand (the “Territories”).  As its exclusive licensee, SCPC has also assigned us their relevant production



11




patents in the Territories.Our exclusive distribution and license agreement for the Territories has an initial term of 20 years with a renewable option at our discretion for an additional 20 years. Sugarmade has the right to request SCPC file for counterpart patent protection in Sugarmade’s territories and for copyright protection for the name “Sugarmade”, but we have not yet made such requests. We anticipate making such requests in the future.

 

SCPC provides us withThrough our third party contract manufacturers, our Company has access to readily available commercial scale having annualfor the production of tree-free paper production capacity of over 350,000 metric tons.  At current price levels, 350,000 metric tons of products represents the manufacturing capacity to support annual revenues up of to $420 million.products. Moreover, withbecause metric ton quantities of sugar cane and bamboo residual waste material are locally available (in China) to SCPC for tree-free pulp, we see little risk of product supply constraints.  We believe that our exclusivestrong vendor relationships, continuing relationship with SCPC, together with SCPC's intellectual property rightsour third party contract manufacturers, new processes and formulation and access to source materials provides us with a substantial barrier to entry for potential competitors.


 

While our Company is independent of SCPC, Clifton Leung the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of SCPC is an incominga member of our Board of Directors and significant shareholder of our Company.  We believe Mr. Leung’s involvement in our Company is invaluable both for his industry expertise and the attendant alignment of the interests of both SCPC and our Company.  We are neither a factory representative, commissioned sales agency nor simply a middleman.  We believe the LSA and our relationship and ongoing participation of SCPC’s Mr. Leung provides us assurances that we will not compete with others for the products manufactured by SCPC.

Production and Logistics

SCPC’sOur Company’s main third party contract manufacturing facility isfacilities are located in the city of Jiangmen and Goaming, in the province of Guangdong in the Peoples’ Republic of China.  ItsThese operations include pulping (from locally available bagasse and bamboo) and conversion (from pulp to finished product).  Based on discussions with SCPC management,assessment of our third party contract manufacturers’ capacities, we believe that SCPCSugarmade’s tree-free paper production, through current subcontractors is currently operating at roughly 28% capacity. Further, Sugarmade and SCPC are evaluating other pulping and conversion facilities to augment or replace the current subcontractors.

After transport from SCPC’sthe factory to the nearby port of Yan Tian, product is shipped to a warehouse located in Oakland, CA.CA or shipped directly to the customer.  We have contracted for a warehousing facility that we use as a staging area for shipments throughout the U.S. as well as storage for inventory sold regionally. The third party warehouse can inventoryhold up to 2,000 shipping containers or 1.44 million cases of copy paper.  

We have access toBetween June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2011, the Company has purchased, sold or otherwise used approximately 49.85 metric tons of tree-free paper.  For the year ended June 30, 2012, our Company purchased an extensive networkadditional 347 metric tons of third-party logistics companies.  If required, we are prepared to handle the moving and transporting of our products to customers anywhere in the U.S.tree-free paper.

Target Markets

Our initial target markets are office supply retailers, corporate entities and government agencies.  We are currently in advanced discussions with retailers and distribution channels that service the corporate market as well as a number of large government agencies.  A number of these potential distribution channels and customers are testing our products.  OurWe believe that our products' unique focus on sustainability and carbon footprint reduction has a significant appeal to these customers.    


Product Pricing

The heightened environmental consciousness among society’s leaders and the general public (often referred to as the “Green Movement”) has spurred product marketers, distributors and wholesalers to seek better green alternatives to provide to their commercial, corporate, and retail clients.  We believe that this movement creates a unique and timely opportunity to gain market share as the sole commercial provider of 100% tree-free paper products.  


While paper products made from tree-free sources are typically more costly than traditional virgin tree sources, we have made and intend to continue to make significant strides to narrow this cost gap.  Our goal is to provide the paper needs of a rapidly increasing share of the market through competitive pricing, uncompromising quality and the ability to produce our product to specific customer specifications.  



16




Our products are priced competitively with products from recycled sources.  We believe this is a compelling price point, since ‘green’ products are often priced at a significant premium compared to the ‘non-green’ offerings.  

Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility ("CSR") is the practice of corporate self-regulation integrated into an organization’s business model.  CSR takes into account the impact of business decisions on the environment, society, consumers, employees, stakeholders and other members of public sphere. The Company proactively promotes the public’s interest by encouraging community growth and development, and voluntarily eliminating practices that harm the public sphere.  Through the deliberate inclusion of public interest into corporate decision-making, and honoring the triple bottom line, People, Planet, and Profitability, we hope to better our communities for generations to come.


B-Corporation Status

Our Company has been certified as a “B Corp” by B Lab.The B Corporation certification is a validation process that requires companies to report and verify that they meet the sustainable and stewardship goals that B Lab sets forth to become a B Corporation. The certification process includes requirements that we have certain internal policies and procedures, such as allowing employees to donate up to 45 hours per year of their time for community service, and other reporting, governance and management practices intended to promote social and environmental responsibility. The certification process does not require that we change our bylaws, articles or the legal rights or remedies of our shareholders.  Our Company B Corp status has been fully recertified effective August 2012.  We are one of only two publically held companies to earn this certification.  B Corporation certification lasts for a period of two years.


Intellectual Property

In conjunction with SCPC, we rely on a combination of trademark, patent laws, trade secrecy laws and contractual provisions to protect ours and SCPC’s intellectual property rights.  SCPC holds several patents in the People’s Republic of China related to the production of tree-free paper. Sugarmade has the right to request SCPC to file for counterpart patent protection in Sugarmade’s territories and for copyright protection for the name “Sugarmade,” but we have not yet made such requests. We anticipate making such requests in the future. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us to protect these proprietary rights will be adequate or that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate our trademarks, trade secrets or similar proprietary rights.  In addition, there can be no assurance that other parties will not assert infringement claims against us, noror that we may have to pursue litigation against other parties to assert our rights.  Any such claim or litigation could be costly and we may lack the resources required to defend against such claims.  In addition, any event that would jeopardize our proprietary rights or any claims of infringement by third parties could have a material adverse affecteffect on our ability to market or sell our brands, and profitably exploit our products.

Competition

We face competition from traditional paper manufacturers as well as other manufacturers that claim to produce environmentally friendly products.  Paper is a mature industry with a number of manufacturers with significant capital resources, distribution channels and entrenched customer accounts.  We compete against traditional paper manufacturers primarily based on our environmental benefits.  As discussed above, our products compete well in terms of reduced environmental impact.  Our products are generally more expensive than paper manufactured from virgin wood.  Some customers will pay a premium for "green" or environmentally friendly paper, provided that the price is a reasonable premium, and the products are of comparable quality.  We also believe that we provide comparable quality as compared to virgin wood products in our product applications.  Currently, we are priced competitively with recycled paper products.  If there were a significant reduction in the cost of virgin wood based products, or if our costs of products were to rise significantly, it would reduce our ability to compete.


There are a number of manufacturers deploying different techniques to develop environmentally sensitive paper products.  WeBased on feedback from customers and potential customers of environmentally sensitive paper products, we classify these manufacturers into the following four distinct categories:

 



13




1.

Companies focused on very limited niche markets with limited distribution potential or limited access to commercial supply quantities.  In general, companies in this group find their products are too expensive for massive consumer scaled tree-free commodity products (e.g. Living Tree Paper Company, TreeFrog, Environmental Pulp and Paper Company Limited).




17




2.

Companies that in addition to employing bagasse or bamboo in their products, also include wood fillers, post-consumer waste and wood pulp or fiber whose products are not truly tree-free (e.g. Canefields, Terradigm, New Leaf Paper Company and Quena Paper Company).


3.

Companies producing a tree-free paper product employing wheat, corn, bananas or kenaf fiber.  These materials have not proven to yield a commercially successful product for scalable quantities.quantities (e.g. Echo Paper Store, Natures Paper Company, Banana Paper Company, and Vision Paper Company).


4.

Companies employing tree-free competitive products that are unable to meet standard quality requirements (e.g. “jam-free" copy paper) (e.g. Shangi Hongtuo,ShangiHongtuo, Ltd.).


We believe the products we acquire from SCPC and their contract manufacturers are the only commercially scalable tree-free paper products able to meet U.S. customer product quality specifications (moisture content, multi-sheet feeding, etc.).In.In addition, we believe that our competitors lack economical access to the hundreds of thousands of metric tons of bagasse and bamboo available to SCPC.  Through SCPC, we believe we can supply commercial quantities of our products.

Regulation

SCPC isSCPC’s contract manufacturers are subject to extensive regulation by various Chinese national and local agencies concerning compliance with environmental control statutes and regulations.  The major environmental regulations applicable to SCPCSCPC’s contract manufacturers include:

The Environmental Protection Law of the PRC

The Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution

Implementation Rules of the Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution

The Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution

Implementation Rules of the Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution

The Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Solid Waste Pollution

The Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Noise Pollution  

SCPC isSCPC’s contract manufacturers are also subject to periodic inspections by local environmental protection authorities.  SCPC hasSCPC’s contract manufacturers have received certifications from the relevant PRC government agencies in charge of environmental protection indicating that their business operations are in material compliance with the relevant PRC environmental laws and regulations.  To our knowledge, SCPC isSCPC’s contract manufacturers are not currently subject to any pending actions alleging any violations of applicable PRC environmental laws.

These regulations impose limitations (including but not limited to effluent and emission limitations) on the discharge of materials into the environment as well as require SCPCSCPC’s contract manufacturers to obtain and operate in compliance with conditions of permits and other governmental authorizations.  Future regulations could materially increase SCPC’s contract manufacturers’ capital requirements and certain of their operating expenses in future years. Such increases in SCPC’s contract manufacturers’ required outlays to comply with such regulation could result in higher costs being passed to our Company and could have a negative effect on the competitiveness of our product offerings.  

Our Employees

We have approximately sevensix full-time employees as of June 30, 2011 and two contracted positions.January 15, 2013.  None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements.  


Backlog

We do not have any material order backlog as of the date of this Current Report.registration statement.   


Seasonality

We do not expect that our business will experience significant seasonality.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Our corporate offices are located at 2280 Lincoln Avenue, San Jose, California 95125, where we lease approximately 1,560 square feet of office space. This lease is for a term of 38 months and commenced in February 2011. The current monthly rental payment including utilities and operating expenses for the facility is approximately $3,700.$4,700. We believe this facility is in good condition and adequate to meet our current and anticipated requirements.

Our company utilizes third party warehousing providers in California, Washington, Texas, and Massachusetts to store its products.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time and in the course of business, we may become involved in various legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief.  The amount of the ultimate liability, if any, from such claims cannot be determined.  However, there are no legal claims currently pending or threatened against us that in the opinion of our management would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Cost of goods sold

Total cost of goods sold increased by $248,588 from $59,083 for the year ended June 30, 2011 to $307,671 for the year ended June 30 2012.  Cost of goods sold totaled $53,483 in 2010 (there were no corresponding amounts in 2009).  Included in costsfiscal 2012 includes a provision for inventory obsolescence totaling $195,880 resulting from inventory quality issues we discovered during the three months ended June 30, 2012.  It was our management’s assessment that based on a thorough review of the inventory and the extent of the quality issues discovered, our Company’s inventory was materially impaired. Upon further analysis and estimations of our inventory’s future marketability, we recorded a charge for inventory obsolescence.   For the year ended June 30, 2011, the cost of goods sold were materials and freight costs totaling $35,944 as well asalso reflected a charge for inventory obsolescence totaling $17,539.  $32,634 resulting from a package redesign impacting the entire on hand inventory at that time.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $480,156$3,817,320 and $130,042 in 2010$3,072,306 for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2009,2011, respectively.  Included in these expenses were payroll and related expenses of $183,591$1,255,462 and $22,860$1,148,252 during the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Included in 2010our payroll and 2009, respectively.related expenses are charges for share based compensation totaling $204,404 for the year ended June 30, 2012 and 99,737 for the year ended June 30, 2011.  Consulting expenses totaled $170,892 in 2010$1,880,747 and $10,030 in 2009,1,545,912 during the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, while legal and auditing expenses totaled $45,964$104,783 and $86,691$141,056 during the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Included in 2010consulting expenses are noncash charges for the issuance of common stock for services totaling $1,633,900 for the year ended June 30, 2012 and 2009, respectively.  Warehousing$2,027,938 for the year ended June 30, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have primarily financed our operations from our inception in March 2009 through the sale of unregistered equity, warrants and convertible notes payable.  As of March 31, 2011,September 30, 2012, our Company had cash totaling $8,636,$188,697, current assets totaling $17,527$327,556 and total assets of $557,384 (including $341,990$336,317. We had current liabilities totaling $631,795 and total liabilities of $837,592, with a negative working capital of $304,239.  Stockholders’ equity reflected a deficit of $501,275

Net cash used by operating activities was $245,584 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $413,876 from the comparable figure of $659,4690 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The decrease of net cash flows used in intangible assetsoperation activities resulted from the increase in our liabilities and accrued compensation costs.  

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we did not have cash flows from investing activities, and only minor activities for the three months ended September 30, 2011 related to the licensepurchase of computer and supply agreement with SCPC).  We had total current liabilities of $269,282 and a working capital deficiency of $251,755.  Total liabilities were $1,297,932 (including $172,750 and $693,900 of subscriptions and notes payable, respectively, subsequently converted into common stock), resulting in a stockholders’ deficiency of $740,548 at March 31, 2011.  Our stockholder deficiency was cured with the cash receipts and conversions of notes payable that took place from April 2011 through the date of this report.  related equipment.

Subsequent to March 31, 2011, we converted notes payable with a principal balance of $693,900 into 252,070 shares of our common stock.  Beginning in April 2011, we also sold 2,185,600 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 2,185,600 shares of common stock to investors in exchange for net proceeds totaling $2,652,000 (gross proceeds of $2,732,000, less issuance costs of $80,000).  Additionally, we made a cash payment totaling $210,000 to two shareholders of DVOP in exchange for shares previously owned by them.  On May 9, 2011 (the closing date of the Sugarmade Acquisition), we had a cash balance totaling approximately $1,738,000 (amount is net of operating expenses incurred and paid by the Company through the date of closing) and notes payable totaling $262,000.  The balanceissuances of notes payable and related accrued interest were repaid by June 3, 2011.convertible notes payables.  

Our Company has entered into an operating credit facility of up to $20 million with SCPC whereby we are able to finance the purchase of all of our Company’s products for resale from them on an interest-free basis.  Qualifying orders placed with SCPC are not required to be paid for by our Company until up to thirty days after we receive payment from our customers.  This credit facility allows us to grow our business quickly without the capital constraints posed by the need for financing our working capital requirements.

Our capital requirements going forward will consist of financing our operations until we are able to reach a level of revenues and gross margins adequate to equal or exceed our ongoing operating expenses.  Other than the operatingnotes payable discussed above, borrowings from our bank and the production credit facility with SCPC,our suppliers, we do not have any credit agreement or source of liquidity immediately available to us.

Given estimates of our Company’s future operating results and our credit arrangements with SCPC,our suppliers, we are currently forecasting that we havewill need to secure additional financing to obtain adequate financial resources to reach profitability.  As of the date of this report, we estimate that the cash necessary to implement our current business plan for the next twelve months is approximately $2,500,000.  As of September 30, 2012, we had a cash balance of approximately $188,697.  However, we cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to raise additional funds to meet our cash needs; that the cash required to implement our current plan will not exceed our estimated amount of $2,500,000; or that we can achieve cash flow break-even.  Weprofitability with the estimated amounts we determined above, or that we will ever achieve profitability.

Based on our need to raise additional funds to implement our business plans for the next twelve months, we have nevertheless included a discussion concerning the presentation of our financial statements on a going concern basis in the notes to our financial statements and our independent public accountants have included a similar discussion in their opinion on our financial statements through December 31, 2010.  

Should we not achieve our forecasted operating results or should strategic opportunities present themselves such that additional financial resources would present attractive investing opportunities for our Company, we may decideJune 30, 2012.  We will be required in the near future to issue debt or sell our Company’s equity securities in order to raise additional cash.  Therecash, although there are no firm arrangements in place for any such financing at this time.  We cannot provide any assurances as to whether we will be able to secure anythe necessary financing, or the terms of any such financing transaction if one were to occur.  The failure to secure such financing could severely curtail our plans for future growth or in more severe scenarios, the continued operations of our Company.  

Capital Expenditures

Our current plans do not call for our Company to expend significant amounts for capital expenditures for the foreseeable future beyond relatively insignificant expenditures for office furniture and information technology related equipment as we add employees to our Company.  SCPC producesWe are however continually evaluating the production processes of our products thatthird party contract manufacturers to determine if there are investments we marketcould make in their processes to achieve manufacturing improvements and significant cost savings.  Any such desired investments would require additional cash above our warehousing facilities are contracted for with third parties (and therefore do not require us to make capital purchases in this area).current forecast requirements.

Critical Accounting Policies Involving Management Estimates and Assumptions

Use of estimates


The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.


Revenue recognition


We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) No. 605,Revenue Recognition.  Revenue is recognized when we have evidence of an arrangement, a determinable fee, and when collection is considered to be probable and products are delivered.  This generally occurs upon shipment of the merchandise, which is when legal transfer of title occurs.  In the event that final acceptance of our product by the customer is uncertain, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met.  We currently have a consignment arrangement with one of our customers. We record revenue on consignment goods when the consigned goods are sold by the consignee and all other above mentioned revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied.   Cash deposits received in connection with the sales of our products prior to their being recognized as revenuedelivered is recorded as deferred revenue.


During the year ended June 30, 2012, we became aware of quality issues surrounding our copy paper products.  We were able to trace the reported problems with paper quality back to manufacturing issues with our third party contract manufacturer.  Our Company has since implemented additional quality assurance procedures both during and at the completion of the production processes.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, our Company had limited sales as we focused our efforts on producing replacement product for customers who had been impacted by the paper quality issues.




23




Cash


From time to time, we may maintain bank balances in interest bearing accounts in excess of the $250,000 currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for interest bearing accounts (there is currently no insurance limit for deposits in noninterest bearing accounts).  We have not experienced any losses with respect to cash.  Management believes our Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash.


Accounts receivable


Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts, net of any estimated allowances for doubtful accounts.  We grant unsecured credit to our customers deemed credit worthy.  Ongoing credit evaluations are performed and potential credit losses estimated by management are charged to operations on a regular basis.  At the time any particular account receivable is deemed uncollectible, the balance is charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts.  Since we cannot necessarily predict future changes in the financial stability of our customers, we cannot guarantee that our allowance for doubtful accounts will be adequate.


From time to time, we may have a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due.  Any unanticipated change in a customer’s creditworthiness could have a material effect on our results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occurred.  Accounts receivable at September 30, 2012 was $2,145, which we expect to be collectible.


Inventory


Inventory consists of finished goods paper and paper-based products ready for sale and is stated at the lower of cost or market.  We value inventories using the weighted average costing method.  Our Company’s policy is to include as a part of inventory any freight incurred to ship the product from our contract manufactures to our warehouses.  Outbound freights costs related to shipping costs to our customers are considered period costs and reflected in selling, general and administrative costs.  Outbound freight costs to customers were minimal for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. We regularly review inventory and consider forecasts of future demand, market conditions and product obsolescence. If the estimated realizable value orof our inventory is less than cost, we make provisions in order to reduce its carrying value to its estimated market value.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, our Company became aware of quality issues surrounding its copy paper products.  As a result of these quality issues, we determined that the historical inventory values were not realizable and we recorded a reserve for inventory obsolescence.  The balance for this reserve totaled $195,880 at September 30, 2012.


Other current assets


Other current assets consist mainly of prepaid insurance, deposits and other related expenses.


Equipment


Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Items of equipment with costs greater than $1,500 are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3-7 years.


Intangible assets


We had valuation reserves against inventoryintangible assets related to the exclusive license and supply agreement (“LSA”) with Sugar Cane Paper Company.    During the year ended June 30, 2012, we performed a review of $17,539 at December 31, 2010 (none at December 31, 2009).the LSA including estimations of the likely future cash flows to be derived from the LSA.  Upon completing the review, it was management’s assessment that due to changes in our Company’s manufacturing process, enhancements to the product formulation and the limitations on the credit facility, the fair value of the intangible asset had been impaired to the level that the asset has negligible remaining value. As such, our Company recorded an impairment charge totaling $318,983 for the remaining value of the license and supply agreement as of June 30, 2012.  


Valuation of long-lived assets


We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, we compare the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.  Our management currently believes there is no impairmentAs noted above, for the year ended June 30, 2012, it



24




was determined that the carrying value of our long-lived assets. There canintangible assets should be no assurance, however,zero and we recorded an impairment charge for the full carrying value.


Income taxes

We provide for federal and state income taxes currently payable, as well as for those deferred due to timing differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income 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 of a change in income tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that market conditionsincludes the enactment date.


The accounting guidance for uncertainties in income tax prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the position will not changebe sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or demand for our products under development will continue. Eitherlitigation processes, based on the technical merits and a consideration of these could result in future impairment of long-lived assets.  the relevant taxing authority's widely understood administrative practices and precedents.


Stock based compensation


Future stockStock based compensation cost will beis measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the stock-based award, and will be recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award).  We will estimate the fair value of employee stock options granted using the Black-ScholesBlack-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing Model. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options will include the exercise price of the award, the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant, the expected option term, the risk free interest rate at the date of grant, the expected volatility and the expected annual dividend yield on our common stock.  We will use comparable public company data among other information to estimate the expected price volatility and the expected forfeiture rate.  There were no options or warrants issued or outstanding from our Company’s inception through December 31, 2010.Non-employee stock grant costs are measured and recognized upon completion of performance and tied to the contractual obligations of the parties we transact with.


Net lossLoss per share


We calculate basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing our net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without considering common stock equivalents.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income or net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents, such as options and warrants.  Options and warrants are only included in the calculation of diluted EPS when their effect is dilutive.

Corporate Governance

Leadership Structure

Prior to the consummation of the Exchange Agreement we had only one director who also served as our Chief Executive Officer. Following the Exchange Agreement, Scott Lantz will actacted as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  OurFollowing the expansion of our Board to seven board members, and the appointment of Stephan Pinto as Chairman, our Board of Directors does not havenow has a lead independent director. Our Board of Directors has determined that its leadership structure was appropriate and effective for the Company given its stage of operations.  In connection with the Exchange Agreement, we intend to establish a full Board of Directors, including a majority of independent directors.  We will re-evaluateMr. Lantz is currently our leadership structure once we have added additional members to our Board of Directors.President and Chief Executive Officer.

Board Committees

We presently do not have an audit committee and a compensation committee or nominating committee or committee performing similar functions, as our management believes that until this point it has been premature at the early stage of our management and business development to form an audit, compensation or nominating committee.  However, our new Board plans to form an audit, compensation and nominating committee in the near future. We envision that theThe audit committee will beis primarily responsible for reviewing the services performed by our independent auditors and evaluating our accounting policies and system of internal controls. We envision that theThe compensation committee will beis primarily responsible for reviewing and approving our salary and benefits policies (including stock options) and other compensation of our executive officers.  We presently do not have a nominating committee and do not foresee the need for such a committee at this time.  The responsibilities of the nominating committee would be primarily responsible for nominating directors and setting policies and procedures for the nomination of directors. The nominating committee would also be responsible for overseeing the creation and implementation of our corporate governance policies and procedures. Until these committees are established,there is a need for a nominating committee, these decisions will continue to be made by our Board of Directors.

Director Independence

The Board has determined that Messrs. Leung, Salzberg, JensenLeong, Michon and RoffmanKearney are independent as the term "independent" is defined by the rules of NASDAQ Rule 5605.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each Selling Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholders”) of the common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the OTC MarketsBulletin Board or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.  These salesThe selling stockholders may besell these shares of common stock from time to time in one or more transactions, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at fixedprevailing market prices or negotiated prices.at prices otherwise negotiated.  A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

·

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

·

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

·

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

·

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

·

privately negotiated transactions;

·

settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

·

broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

·

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

·

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

·

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.


The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA NASD Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASD IM-2440.  

In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume.  The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.  The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares.  The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.  

Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder.  In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus.  There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.



2633




We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect.  The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution.  In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person.  We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

Our authorized capital stock consists of 300,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock and 10,000,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock.  We are incorporated in the United States of America in the state of Delaware.  

Common Stock

We are authorized to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value.  Each share of common stock entitles a stockholder to one vote on all matters upon which stockholders are permitted to vote.  Common stock does not confer on the holder any preemptive right or other similar right to purchase or subscribe for any additional securities issued by us and is not convertible into other securities.  No shares of common stock are subject to redemption or any sinking fund provisions.  All the outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.  Subject to the rights of the holders of the preferred stock, the holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to dividends out of funds legally available when and as declared by our Board of Directors.  In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive, ratably, the net assets available to stockholders after payment of all creditors and any liquidation preference on outstanding preferred stock.

Preferred Stock

We may issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value in one or more classes or series within a class as may be determined by our Board of Directors, who may establish, from time to time, the number of shares to be included in each class or series, may fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such class or series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof.  Any preferred stock so issued by the Board of Directors may rank senior to the common stock with respect to the payment of dividends or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us, or both.  

No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding.  The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

Options and Warrants

As of June 30, 2012 we have outstanding options and warrants to purchase up to 4,328,562 shares of common stock.  Included in this amount are two-year warrants to purchase up to 2,185,600 shares of our common stock issued in connection with sales of our common stock during the year ended June 30, 2011 and 40,000 outstanding warrants issued in connection with the sale of our common stock during the year ended June 30, 2012, as well as warrants to purchase 632,500 shares of common stock issued for consulting and advisory services, almost all at an exercise price of $1.50.  The number of shares and exercise price are subject to adjustment in the case where the Company declares a stock dividend or split.  We also issued warrants to purchase up to 200,000 shares of our common stock to three selling shareholders of our Company in connection with our reverse merger.  These warrants have a three year life and are exercisable at $1.25 per share, subject to adjustment in the case where the Company declares a stock dividend or split.  Additionally, warrants to purchase 189,000 shares of common stock were issued to non-executive employees.

As of June 30, 2012, we have a total of 1,081,462 incentive and nonqualified stock options granted and outstanding under the Plan.   All of the options have terms of five to 10 years with expiration dates between April 27, 2016 and January 13,, 2022.  The options vest at various schedules with the latest vesting over four years.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION
OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, our Board of Directors may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock. Any additional issuance of common stock or the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of impeding or discouraging the acquisition of control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, including a transaction in which our stockholders would receive a premium over the market price for their shares, and thereby protects the continuity of our management.  Specifically, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the Board of Directors was to determine that a takeover proposal was not in our best interest, shares could be issued by the Board of Directors without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover by:


·

diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group;


·

putting a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the incumbent board of directors; or


·

effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover.

 

The Delaware Corporations and Associations Act (“Delaware Corporate Law”), with certain exceptions, permits a Delaware corporation to indemnify a present or former director or officer of the corporation (and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities) for liabilities, including legal expenses, arising by reason of service in such capacity if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed, to the best interests of the corporation, and in any criminal proceeding if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. However, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be made with respect to any matter as to which such director or officer shall have been adjudged liable, except in certain limited circumstances.

 

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that we shall indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by Delaware Corporate Law. The indemnification provided by Delaware Corporate Law and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is not exclusive of any other rights to which a director or officer may be



32




entitled.  The general effect of the foregoing provisions may be to reduce the circumstances under which an officer or director may be required to bear the economic burden of the foregoing liabilities and expense.

 

We may also purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any director or officer that may cover claims for which we could not indemnify such person.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court's decision.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMACCOUNTANTS


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sugarmade, Inc. and Subsidiary (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2010June 30, 2012 and 20092011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficitequity (deficiency) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the period from March 2, 2009 (inception) to December 31, 2009.years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.  


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sugarmade, Inc. and Subsidiary,Subsidiaries, at December 31, 2010June 30, 2012 and 2009,2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the yearyears then ended, December 31, 2010 and the period from March 2, 2009 (inception) to December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses since inception and has a deficiency in stockholders’ equityan accumulated deficit at December 31, 2010.June 30, 2012.  These and other factors discussed therein raise a substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to those matters are also described in Note 1.  The Company’s ability to achieve its plans with regard to those matters, which may be necessary to permit the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business, is uncertain.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Summary of significant accounting policies


Nature of business


Sugarmade, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “us” or “the/our Company”) wasis a publicly traded company incorporated in the state of California on March 2, 2009 under theDelaware.  Our previous legal name Simple Earth,was Diversified Opportunities, Inc.  On October 26, 2009, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock ofOur Company, Sugarmade, Inc. (“SMI”) and during 2010 we began doing business asoperates through our subsidiary, Sugarmade, Inc.  On February 1, 2011, we changed the legal name of our Company to Sugarmade, Inc. and dissolved the SMI legal entity., a California corporation (“Sugarmade-CA”).  Our Company is principally engaged in the business of marketing and distributing environmentally friendly non-tree-based paper products.  We are parties to an Exclusive License and Supply Agreement (“LSA”) with Sugar Cane Paper Company (“SCPC”), a company located in the People’s Republic of China.  SCPC and their contract suppliers produce our products and is a holder of intellectual property rights and patents in the area of developing and manufacturing paper from non-wood sources.  We also obtained the rights (within the designated territories) to the Sugarmade brand name and trademarks.  Sugarmade-CA’s primary product is 100% tree-free copy paper in various sizes, however our Company plans to offer other tree-free paper products in the near future.


Basis of presentation


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as promulgated in the United States of America.


Principles of consolidation


TheThese consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SMI.Sugarmade-CA.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.


Going concern


OurThe Company sustained continued operating losses during the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, in which it has not been successful, and/or obtaining additional financing from its shareholders or other sources, as may be required.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that wethe Company will continue as a going concern.  Such assumption contemplatesconcern; however, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.   However, we have incurred significant net losses, have a net working capital deficiency and have a deficiency of stockholders’ equity as of and through December 31, 2010.  These factors among others raise aabove condition raises substantial doubt about ourthe Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  We are dependent upon sufficient future profitable operations and additional sales of debt or equity securities in order to meet our operating cash requirements.  Barring our generation of revenues in excess of our costs and expenses or our obtaining additional funds from equity or debt financing, we will not have sufficient cash to continue to fund the operations of our Company through December 31, 2011.  Thesedo so. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that mightmay result fromshould the outcome of this uncertainty.Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


We have taken significant stepsManagement is endeavoring to lessen this uncertainty including: 1)increase revenue generating operations.  While priority is on generating cash from operations through the completion of a sale of common stock and warrants in April 2011 that netted our Company cash proceeds totaling $2,083,000; and 2) the conversionCompany’s products, management is also seeking to raise additional working capital through various financing sources, including the sale of notes payable outstanding totaling $693,900  into common stock of our Company.  While we believe that these actions have provided the Company with necessary operating capital, there can be no assurance that we willCompany’s equity and/or debt securities, which may not require future infusions of capital and that such financings will be available on acceptablecommercially reasonable terms, orif at all.  If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue our business as desired and our operating results will be adversely affected.  In addition, any financing arrangement may have potentially adverse effects on us and/or our stockholders.  Debt financing (if available and undertaken) will increase expenses, must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting our operating flexibility.  If we issue equity securities to raise additional funds, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the current holders of our common stock.


Use of estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.


Revenue recognition


We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) No. 605,Revenue Recognition.  Revenue is recognized when we have evidence of an arrangement, a determinable fee, and when



F-7


Sugarmade, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Financial Statements



collection is considered to be probable and products are delivered.  This generally occurs upon shipment of the merchandise, which is when legal transfer of title occurs.  In the event that final acceptance of our product by the customer is uncertain, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. We currently have a consignment arrangement with one of our customers. We record revenue on consignment goods when the consigned goods are sold by the consignee and all other above mentioned revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied.   Cash received in connection with the sales of our products prior to their being recognized as revenue is recorded as deferred revenue.


CashDuring fiscal 2011, our Company changed the product packaging of its copy and cash equivalentsprinting paper, rendering the then existing inventory as obsolete and resulting in the write-off of the remaining inventory as of March 31, 2011.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, our Company sold its remaining inventory as a one-time sale to a retailer specializing in the liquidation of excess inventory.  As a result for the year ended June 30, 2012, our sales revenues and cost of goods sold reflect the sale of this liquidated inventory with no corresponding cost of goods sold.


During the year ended June 30, 2012, we became aware of quality issues surrounding our copy paper products.  We consider all investmentswere able to trace the reported problems with paper quality back to manufacturing issues with our third party contract manufacturer.  Our Company has since implemented additional quality assurance procedures both during and at the completion of the production processes.  As a remaining maturityresult of three months or less at purchasethese issues, we processed refunds to be cash equivalents.  Cash equivalents primarily represent funds investedcustomers who had purchased our poor quality paper totaling $95,405, reflected in money market funds, bank certificatesour net sales of deposit and U.S. government debt securities whose cost equals fair market value.  At both December 31, 2010 and 2009, our Company had no cash equivalents.$141,750.  


Cash


From time to time, we may maintain bank balances in interest bearing accounts in excess of the $250,000 currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.Corporation for interest bearing accounts (through December 31, 2012 there is no insurance limit for deposits in noninterest bearing accounts).  We have not experienced any losses with respect to cash.  Management believes our Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents.cash.


Accounts receivable


Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts, net of any estimated allowances for doubtful accounts.  We grant unsecured credit to our customers deemed credit worthy.  Ongoing credit evaluations are performed and potential credit losses estimated by management are charged to operations on a regular basis.  At the time any particular account receivable is deemed uncollectible, the balance is charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts.  Since we cannot necessarily predict future changes in the financial stability of our customers, we cannot guarantee that our allowance for doubtful accounts will be adequate.


From time to time, we may have a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due.  Any unanticipated change in a customer’s creditworthiness could have a material effect on our results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occurred.  We had only insignificant amounts ofGross accounts receivable (currently classifiedat June 30, 2012 totaled $19,920 while our allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,220.   As of June 30, 2011, our Company had accounts receivable of $8,081 with other current assets) and no allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.accounts.


Inventory


Inventory consists of finished goods paper and paper-based products ready for sale and is stated at the lower of cost or market.  We value inventories using the weighted average costing method.  Our Company’s policy is to include as a part of inventory any freight incurred to ship the product from our contract manufactures to our warehouses.  Outbound freights costs related to shipping costs to our customers are considered period costs and reflected in selling, general and administrative costs.  Outbound freight costs to customers totaled $67,862 and $3,690 for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  We regularly review inventory and consider forecasts of future demand, market conditions and product obsolescence. If the estimated realizable value orof our inventory is less than cost, we make provisions in order to reduce its carrying value to its estimated market value.  As noted above, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, our Company became aware of quality issues surrounding its copy paper products.  As a result of these quality issues, we determined that the inventory value was impaired and we recorded a reserve for inventory obsolescence totaling $195,880 ($15,321 at June 30, 2011).  


Other current assets


Other current assets consist mainly of prepaid insurance, deposits and other related expenses.

Notes to Financial Statements



Equipment


Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Items of equipment with costs greater than $1,500 are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3-7 years.


Intangible assets


We have intangible assets related to the exclusive license and supply agreement (“LSA”) with Sugar Cane Paper Company.    During the year ended June 30, 2012, we performed a review of the LSA including estimations of the likely future cash flows to be derived from the LSA.  Upon completing the review, it was management’s assessment that due to changes in our Company’s manufacturing process, enhancements to the product formulation and the limitations on the credit facility, the fair value of the intangible asset had valuation reserves against inventorybeen impaired to the level that the asset has negligible remaining value. As such, our Company recorded a write down totaling $318,983 for the remaining value of $17,539 at December 31, 2010 (none at December 31, 2009).the license and supply agreement as of June 30, 2012.


Valuation of long-lived assets


We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, we compare the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.  Our management currently believes there is no impairmentFor the year ended June 30, 2012, it was determined that our Company’s intangible assets value were deemed impaired resulting in the complete write-down of the intangible assets.  As a result of the write-down, our long-lived assets. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for our products under development will continue. Either of these could result in future impairment of long-lived assets.  Company recorded a charge to operations totaling $318,983.


Income taxes

  

We provide for federal and state income taxes currently payable, as well as for those deferred due to timing differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income 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 of a change in income tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.


The accounting guidance for uncertainties in income tax prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits and a consideration of the relevant taxing authority's widely understood administrative practices and precedents.


Stock based compensation


Future stockStock based compensation cost will beis measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the stock-based award, and will be recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award).  We will estimate the fair value of employee stock options granted using the Black-ScholesBlack-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing Model. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options will include the exercise price of the award, the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant, the expected option term, the risk free interest rate at the date of grant, the expected volatility and the expected annual dividend yield on our common stock.  We will use comparable public company data among other information to estimate the expected price volatility and the expected forfeiture rate.  There were no options or warrants issued or outstanding from our Company’s inception through December 31, 2010.Non-employee stock grant costs are measured and recognized upon completion of performance and tied to the contractual obligations of the parties we transact with.


Net lossLoss per share


We calculate basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing our net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without considering common stock equivalents.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income or net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock

equivalents, such as options and warrants.  Options and warrants are only included in the calculation of diluted EPS when their effect is dilutive.  


Fair value of financial instruments


TheOur Company follows guidance for accounting for fair value accounting guidance definesmeasurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value as “the pricemeasurements of nonfinancial items that would be receivedare recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Additionally, our Company adopted guidance for fair value measurement related to sell an asset or paid to transfernonfinancial items that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.”nonrecurring basis. The definition is based on an exit price rather than an entry price, regardless of whether the entity plans to hold or sell the asset.  This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to prioritize inputsvaluation techniques used in measuringto measure fair value as follows:

Level 1:  Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;  

Level 2:  Inputs, other thanvalue. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:


•  

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that our Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.


•  

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; andindirectly.


Level 3:  Unobservable3 inputs in which there is littleare unobservable inputs for the asset or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Advertising


To the extent present in the future, we willWe expense advertising costs as incurred.  Advertising and promotion totaled $61,281 and $23,975 during the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  We have no existing arrangements under which we provide or receive advertising services from others for any consideration other than cash.  


Concentration


Customers


During fiscal year 2012, our Company’s earned net revenues of $141,750. A significant portion of our Company’s revenue is derived from a small number of customers.  For year ended June 30, 2012, sales to one of our Company’s customers accounted for 72% of net sales.  As our Company continues to expand its distribution relationships, we expect to see our sales dispersed among a broader number of customers.


Suppliers


For the year ended June 30, 2012, all of our tree free paper products were purchased from SCPC and their contract manufacturers.  We are presently diversifying our manufacturing and process management options to include other third party contract manufacturers for current and future production needs.


Litigation


From time to time, we may become involved in disputes, litigation and other legal actions.  We estimate the range of liability related to any pending litigation where the amount and range of loss can be estimated.  We record our best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable.  Where a liability is probable and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate in the range, we record a charge equal to at least the minimum estimated liability for a loss contingency when both of the following conditions are met: (i) information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and (ii) the range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements


Accounting standards promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) are subject to change.  Changes in such standards may have an impact on theour Company’s future financial statements.  The following are a summary of recent accounting developments.  


In June 2009,May 2011, the FASB issued additional guidance which requiresASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) of Fair Value Measurement – Topic 820.” The amendments in this update will allow an enterpriseentity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether its variable interest or interests give it is necessary to perform a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity.  The primary beneficiaryquantitative impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a variable interest entity is that the enterprise that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses ofan indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that could potentially be significantit is not more likely than not, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity.qualitative assessment.  The guidance also requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.  The new guidance wasamendments are effective for ourannual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. Since the Company beginning January 1, 2010 and had nodid not have indefinite-lived intangible assets, this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.


In October 2009,June 2011, the FASB, issued new accounting guidance for revenue recognition with multiple deliverables. The new guidance affectsAccounting Standards Update (“ASU”), 2011-05, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to present the determinationtotal of whencomprehensive income, the individual deliverables includedcomponents of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a multiple-element arrangement maysingle continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. It eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The ASU does not change the items which must be treated as separate units of accounting. Additionally, the guidance modifies the mannerreported in which the transaction considerationother comprehensive income, how such items are measured or when they must be reclassified to net income. This ASU is allocated across the separately identified deliverables by no longer permitting the residual method of revenue recognition in accountingeffective for multiple deliverable arrangements. Our Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2010interim and it had noannual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.


In January 2010,May 2011, the FASB issued revised authoritative guidance that requires more robust disclosures about the different classes of assetsASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and liabilities measured atDisclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, which converges common fair value the valuation techniquesmeasurement and inputs used, the activitydisclosure requirements in Level 3 fair value measurements,accordance with GAAP and the transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3.International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

Those disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements are were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is encouraged. The revised guidance was adopted as2011. Our adoption of January 1, 2010 andthis ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition of Sugarmade, Inc.  Sugarmade-CA and related financing activities


On October 26, 2009, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of SMI in exchange for: 1) cash totaling $340,000; 2) a note payable totaling $60,000; and 3) 10% of the then outstanding common stock of our Company or 72,973 shares (with a nominal value at the date of acquisition of $.001 per share).  Additionally, we are required to pay up to two additional earn-out payments of $200,000 to the seller of SMI: 1) if net income equals or exceeds $10 million in 2011; and/or 2) if net income exceeds $11 million in 2012.


In addition to minimal amounts of saleable inventory, SMI also had an exclusive license and supply agreement (“LSA”) with Sugar Cane Paper Company (“SCPC”) located in the People’s Republic of China.  SCPC is a manufacturer and a holder of intellectual property in the area of paper from non-wood sources.  Under the LSA (as subsequently amended), we obtained the exclusive right (as defined) to market, distribute and manufacture SCPC’s proprietary products in Europe, North and South America and in other designated territories in the world.  We also obtained the rights to the Sugarmade brand name and trademarks and other provisions of the agreement with SCPC also inure to the benefit of our Company.  


We accounted for the acquisition of SMI under the purchase method with the total consideration of $400,000 (the 72,973 shares issued at the time of the transaction had only a nominal fair value) allocated to: 1) the fair value of inventory of $31,942; and 2) the fair value of the LSA of $368,058.  We are amortizing the cost of the LSA over its twenty-year term and it is included in the accompanying balance sheet at its cost (net of accumulated amortization) at December 31, 2010 of $346,591 ($364,991 at December 31, 2009).  Amortization charged to operations in 2010 and 2009 totaled $18,400 and $3,067, respectively and future amortization of the LSA (barring future impairments) will be $18,400 per year through its term.  When accounting for the acquisition of SMI, we did not record the value of any future contingent earn-out payments as a liability nor as an increase to the value of the SMI assets acquired as we deemed that the likelihood of our Company’s attaining the required levels of profitability that would require such future payments was negligible.  


We also entered into an agreement with SCPC to provide a line of credit (“LOC”) for future purchases of product from SCPC.  Advances under the LOC will require that we possess valid purchase orders from non-related customers and repayments will be due thirty days after we receive payments from our customers for the related products financed.  Total borrowings under the agreement are limited to $20 million.  We have had no borrowings outstanding under the LOC through December 31, 2010.

Note receivable and amounts due from shareholder

On February 1, 2010, we advanced cash totaling $163,000 to a shareholder of our Company under a note receivable bearing interest at the rate of 14% per annum.  The note matures on December 31, 2012 and is secured by 60,370 shares of our Company’s common stock held by the shareholder.  Accrued interest due from the shareholder in connection with the notes totaled $18,413 at December 31, 2010.   Additionally, we advanced other amounts to the shareholder and to employees totaling $6,000 at both December 31, 2010 and 2009.

On March 2, 2009, the Company’s shareholders adopted the 2009 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the “2009 Plan”) and reserved 150,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2009 Plan.  The 2009 Plan provided for the issuance of both non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options (“ISOs”), and permitted grants to employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company.   Generally, stock option grants under this plan will vest over a period from four to five years and have a term not to exceed 10 years, although the Plan Administrator has the discretion to issue option grants with varying terms.   No stock or stock options have been issued under the 2009 Plan through December 31, 2010.

As of December 31, 2010, we had net operating loss carryforwards for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $682,000 for federal and California state income tax that may be offset against future taxable income.  The net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2024.  Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs.  Therefore, future issuances of our equity securities may limit the amount of NOL available to offset any future taxable income that our Company may generate in the future.  Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of an equivalent amount.  The items accounting for the difference between income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate and the provision for income taxes were as follows:

We performed an analysis of our previous tax filings and determined that there were no positions taken that we consider uncertain and therefore, there were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2010.  Future changes in the unrecognized tax benefit are not expected to have an impact on the effective tax rate due to the existence of the valuation allowance.  We estimate that the unrecognized tax benefit will not change within the next twelve months.  We will classify income tax penalties and interest, if any, as part of interest and other expenses in our statements of operations (we have incurred no interest or penalties through December 31, 2010).  We have open tax years for federal and state of 2009 through 2010.  Due to our significant net operating loss carryforwards, even if certain of our tax positions were disallowed, we do not believe we will be liable for the payment of taxes in the near future.  Consequently, we did not calculate the impact of interest or penalties on amounts that might be disallowed.

Issuance of common stock and warrants for cash

On March 7, 2012, our Company’s Board of Directors approved the sale of up to $1,500,000 of our Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase common stock at $2.25 per unit.  Each unit consists of (i) one share of our Company's common stock; and (ii) two-year term warrants to purchase the amount of shares of common stock equal to 80% of the number of units purchased.  Each warrant was issued with a fixed exercise price of $0.01 per share.  As of June 30, 2012, our Company raised $657,500 through the sale of 292,222 units and the commensurate exercise of 193,778 warrants for additional cash proceeds totaling $1,938.  

Issuance of common stock for services

In May 2011, we issued 500,000 shares of common stock subject to repurchase provisions to an individual as consideration for consulting services.  We recorded a prepaid stock compensation in connection with the shares granted totaling $400,000 based on the estimated value of the underlying shares of stock at the time of their issuance to the consultant.  The grant was originally scheduled to vest evenly on a monthly basis over two years through May 2013, however our Company vested all of the remaining unvested shares in December 2011.    The prepaid stock compensation from the grant was charged to operations at the fair market value of the vesting shares at the time of their vesting since the consultant’s performance was tied to the contractual vesting terms.  Prepaid stock compensation was originally amortized proportionally over the expected vesting term of the shares at the time the shares were vested, with the difference being recorded as additional paid-in capital.  For the year ended June 30, 2012, we recorded noncash charges totaling $1,547,000 in connection with this stock issuance which is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying statement of operations.  

On January 19, 2012, our Company issued 36,000 shares of restricted common stock to one of its board members in exchange for additional advisory services in the area of finance and financial reporting.  The shares vest over one year and any unvested shares are subject to repurchase by our Company should the recipient cease to provide for the contracted services.  For the fiscal year 2012, our Company incurred a charge totaling $66,900 related to this issuance.

On May 31 2012, we issued 10,526 shares of restricted common stock to a public relations firm as part of their compensation for services in the area of public relations related strategy, processes and tactics.  For the year ended June 30, 2012, our Company recorded noncash charges totaling $20,000 related to this issuance.

Share surrender and Cancellation

Effective May 11, 2012, our Company entered into a Share Cancellation Agreement with Clifton Leung, a director and shareholder of our Company, pursuant to which Mr. Leung agreed to surrender  500,000 shares of Company common stock held by him.  In consideration for the surrender, our Company agreed to pay Mr. Leung $5,000 representing a price of $0.01 per share of common stock.  Our Company accounted for this transaction as a repurchase and cancellation of common stock.  Effective June 30, 2012, Mr. Leung forgave the amount owed to him from the share cancellation agreement.

Stock options

On April 27, 2011, our Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of the 2011 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the “2011 Plan”) and reserved 1,500,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2011 Plan.  The 2011 Plan provides for the issuance of both non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options (“ISOs”), and permitted grants to employees, non-employee directors and consultants of our Company.  Generally, stock option grants under the 2011 Plan will vest over a period of up to four years and have a term not to exceed 10 years, although the Plan Administrator has the discretion to issue option grants with varying terms and vesting periods.   

As of June 30, 2012, we have a total of 1,081,462 incentive and nonqualified stock options granted and outstanding under the Plan. All of our outstanding options have terms of between five and ten years.  During the year ended June 30, 2012, we recognized share based compensation expense totaling $134,783 related to stock options granted through that date.   


Other outstanding warrants


We have 2,185,600 outstanding warrants issued in connection with the sale of our common stock during the year ended June 30, 2011 and 40,000 outstanding warrants issued in connection with the sale of our common stock during the year ended June 30, 2012. During the year ended June 30, 2012, we recognized $69,621 in share based compensation expense related to previously issued warrants through that date.



Outstanding warrants from all sources have terms ranging from two to five years with certain of the warrants carrying registration rights of the underlying shares of common stock.  The number of shares of common stock subject to exercise and the exercise price of all options and warrants outstanding at June 30, 2012 is as follows:

Stock based compensation


Results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2012 include share based compensation costs totaling $204,404 charged to selling, general and administrative expenses.  For purposes of accounting for stock based compensation, the fair value of each option and warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula.  The following weighted average assumptions were used for the calculations during the year ended June 30, 2012:


Expected life (in years)

5.90 years

Weighted average volatility

95.18%

Forfeiture rate

18.82 %

Risk-free interest rate

2.06%

Expected dividend rate

- %


The weighted average expected option and warrant term for director and employee stock options granted reflects the application of the simplified method set out in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110. The simplified method defines the life as the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted average vesting period for all options. We utilized this approach as our historical share



F-14


Sugarmade, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Financial Statements



option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate an expected term. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our stock as well as those of a peer group. We estimated the forfeiture rate based on our expectation for future forfeitures and we currently expect substantially all options and warrants to vest. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at or near the time of grant. We have never declared or paid dividends and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.


As of June 30, 2012, $484,296 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock based compensation arrangements is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 9.2 months.  The following is required disclosure in connection with stock options and warrants (which resulted in share based compensation charges) as of June 30, 2012: 1) weighted average exercise price - $1.26; 2) weighted average remaining contractual term vested and outstanding options – 57.4 and 71.9 months, respectively; 3) aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable options and warrants - $0.00 and $0.00, respectively; 4) weighted average grant date fair value of options and warrants granted - $2.33 per share; and 5) weighted average fair value of options and warrants vested - $0.18 per share.

Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar California rules place a limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be offset by net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”) after a change in control (generally greater than a 50% change in ownership).  Transactions such as planned future sales of our common stock may be included in determining such a change in control.  These factors give rise to uncertainty as to whether the net deferred tax assets are realizable.  We have approximately $7,836,000 in NOL at June 30, 2012 that will begin to expire in 2024 for federal and state purposes and could be limited for use under IRC Section 382.  We have recorded a valuation allowance against the entire net deferred tax asset balance due because we believe there exists a substantial doubt that we will be able to realize the benefits due to our lack of a history of earnings and due to possible limitations under IRC Section 382.    A reconciliation of the expected tax benefit computed at the U.S. federal and state statutory income tax rates to our tax benefit for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

We file income tax returns in the U.S. and in the state of California with varying statutes of limitations.  Our policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of our provision for income taxes.  There were no accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2012.  All operations are in California and the Company

believes it has no tax positions which could more-likely-than not be challenged by tax authorities. We have no unrecognized tax benefits and thus no interest or penalties included in the financial statements.

Commitments and contingencies


Our Company leases its corporate office located at 2280 Lincoln Avenue, Suite 200, San Jose CA 95125 under a lease with a term beginning on February 1, 2011 and extending through April 2014.  Rent expense amounted to $50,895 and $11,091 for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Future annual lease amounts due under our lease agreement for our fiscal years ended June 30 total: $57,156- 2013 and $43,920- 2014


8.

Subsequent events


Between August 17, 2012 and September 18, 2012, our Company issued a total of $215,000 in convertible promissory notes to seven accredited investors, one of which was a member of our Board of Directors.  The convertible promissory notes must be repaid by our Company within 9 months from the date of issuance; accrue interest at the rate of 14%; and are convertible at the election of the investors at such time as our Company has raised a minimum of $500,000 in equity in a subsequent equity financing, at the conversion price which is the lower of 80% of the per share purchase price paid for the securities by the investors in the subsequent financing, or $0.50 per share.  Unless these promissory notes are converted or repaid earlier, our Company must pay the note holders the amount of the then accrued interest on the three, six, and nine month anniversaries of the issue date. In connection with the issuance of the promissory notes, the investors in the aggregate received two-year warrants to purchase up to a total of 32,250 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share, and two-year warrants to purchase up to 1,730,400a total of 53,750 shares of common stock at $0.01 per share.  The issuance of notes and warrants tothe investors was made in exchangereliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for net cash proceeds totaling $2,083,000 (gross proceedsthe offer and sale of $2,163,000, less commissionssecurities not involving a public offering, and related costs totaling $80,000).Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.


On August 24, 2012, our company issued 4 year warrants to purchase up to 50,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $0.50 per share to a third party consultant as part of the termination of their consulting services agreement for investor relations services.


On September 6, 2012, our Company’s Board of Directors approved the repricing of options and warrants granted to employees, active consultants and board members.  The repriced options and warrants had exercise prices ranging from $1.25 to $3.73.  A total of 1,245,000 options and warrants were amended to reduce the exercise price to $0.52 per share, based on the most recent closing price for our Company’s common stock, which is deemed the fair market value as of that date.


40On September 20, 2012, our Company issued 250,000 shares to a third party consultant in consideration for its services under the terms of a consulting agreement for investor relations and public communications services.  The issuance of shares was made in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering, and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.  

On October 1, 2012, our Company obtained a $3 million dollar production line of credit line from Norco Sourcing (Hong Kong) Company Ltd (“Norco”).  One of our directors, Clifton Leung, has an ownership interest in Norco.  The line of credit will allow our Company to produce product for inventory purposes without the need for customer purchase orders as a requirement to order product from its contract manufacturer.  The line of credit will bear interest at 9% per annum and require payment 60 days after shipment of the product.  For the initial three to four months, the line will fund the full cost of the production, after which our Company will pay a 40% deposit for subsequent productions.  Additionally, when our Company borrows under the line of credit, we are required to grant Norco100,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 100,000 shares of our Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.  Similarly, once our Company’s outstanding balance on the line exceeds $1,000,000, our Company is required to issue an additional 100,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Finally, if our Company exceeds $2,000,000 balance on the line, our Company is required to issue an additional 100,000 shares of stock and warrants to purchase up to 100,000 additional shares of stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

Summary of significant accounting policies


Nature of business

Sugarmade, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “us” or “the/our Company”) wasis a publicly traded company incorporated in the state of California on March 2, 2009 under theDelaware.  Our previous legal name Simple Earth,was Diversified Opportunities, Inc.  On October 26, 2009, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock ofOur Company, Sugarmade, Inc. (“SMI”) and during 2010 we began doing business asoperates through our subsidiary, Sugarmade, Inc.  On February 1, 2011, we changed the legal name of our Company to Sugarmade, Inc. and dissolved the SMI legal entity., a California corporation (“Sugarmade-CA”).  Our Company is principally engaged in the business of marketing and distributing environmentally friendly non-tree-based paper products.  We are parties to an Exclusive License and Supply Agreement (“LSA”) with Sugar Cane Paper Company (“SCPC”), a company located in the People’s Republic of China.  SCPC and their contract suppliers produce our products and is a holder of intellectual property rights and patents in the area of developing and manufacturing paper from non-wood sources.  We also obtained the rights (within the designated territories) to the Sugarmade brand name and trademarks.  Sugarmade-CA’s primary product is 100% tree-free copy paper in various sizes, however our Company plans to offer other tree-free paper products in the future.


Basis of presentation


We have prepared theThe accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principlesfootnotes necessary for completea comprehensive presentation of financial statements.  In theposition, results of operations, or cash flows.  It is management's opinion of our management,however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) consideredadjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operatingfinancial statement presentation.

These financial statements and related disclosures theretoshould be read in conjunction with our Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 inJune 30, 2012, which contains our Current Report on Form 8-K filedaudited financial statements and notes thereto, together with the SecuritiesManagement’s Discussion  and Exchange Commission on May 13, 2011.  Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, for the period ended June 30, 2012. The interim results for the period ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.


Principles of consolidation


The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include the accounts of our Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SMI.Sugarmade-CA.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.


Going concern


The Company sustained continued operating losses during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and for the year ended June 30, 2012.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, in which it has not been successful, and/or obtaining additional financing from its shareholders or other sources, as may be required.


Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.  Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.   However, we have incurred significant net losses, have a net working capital deficiency and have a deficiency of stockholders’ equity as of and through March 31, 2011.  These factors among others raise a substantial doubtour auditors raised concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.  We are dependent upon sufficient future profitable operationsconcern in their opinion on our financial statements at and additional sales of debt or equity securities in order to meet our operating cash requirements.  We believe that our Company’s sale of common stock and warrants for net cash proceeds totaling $2,652,000 through the date of this report and the conversion of notes payable totaling $693,900 to shares of our common stock subsequent to March 31, 2011 has generated sufficient cash to allow our Company (as management currently forecasts future operations) to operate through December 31, 2011.  However, there exists the possibility that additional funding might be required by our Company and that such funding will not be available at suitable terms or at all.year ended June 30, 2012.  These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that mightmay result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


Management is endeavoring to increase revenue generating operations.  While priority is on generating cash from operations through the outcomesale of this uncertainty.the Company’s products, management is also seeking to raise additional working capital through various financing sources, including the sale of the Company’s equity and/or debt securities, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms to our Company, or which may not be available at all.  If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue our business as desired and our operating results will be adversely affected.  In addition, any financing arrangement may have potentially adverse effects on us and/or our stockholders.  Debt financing (if available and undertaken) will increase expenses, must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting our operating flexibility.  If we issue equity securities to raise additional funds, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the current holders of our common stock.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Use of estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.


Revenue recognition


We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) No. 605,Revenue Recognition.  Revenue is recognized when we have evidence of an arrangement, a determinable fee, and when collection is considered to be probable and products are delivered.  This generally occurs upon shipment of the merchandise, which is when legal transfer of title occurs.  In the event that final acceptance of our product by the customer is uncertain, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met.  We currently have a consignment arrangement with one of our customers. We record revenue on consignment goods when the consigned goods are sold by the consignee and all other above mentioned revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied.   Cash deposits received in connection with the sales of our products prior to their being recognized as revenuedelivered is recorded as deferred revenue.


During the year ended June 30, 2012, we became aware of quality issues surrounding our copy paper products.  We were able to trace the reported problems with paper quality back to manufacturing issues with our third party contract manufacturer.  Our Company has since implemented additional quality assurance procedures both during and at the completion of the production processes.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, our Company had limited sales as we focused our efforts on producing replacement product for customers who had been impacted by the paper quality issues.





Cash and cash equivalents


We consider all investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at purchase to be cash equivalents.  Cash equivalents primarily represent funds invested in money market funds, bank certificates of deposit and U.S. government debt securities whose cost equals fair market value.  At both March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2010, our Company had no cash equivalents.


From time to time, we may maintain bank balances in interest bearing accounts in excess of amountsthe $250,000 currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.Corporation for interest bearing accounts (there is currently no insurance limit for deposits in noninterest bearing accounts).  We have not experienced any losses with respect to cash.  Management believes our Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents.cash.


Accounts receivable


Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts, net of any estimated allowances for doubtful accounts.  We grant unsecured credit to our customers deemed credit worthy.  Ongoing credit evaluations are performed and potential credit losses estimated by management are charged to operations on a regular basis.  At the time any particular account receivable is deemed uncollectible, the balance is charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts.  Since we cannot necessarily predict future changes in the financial stability of our customers, we cannot guarantee that our allowance for doubtful accounts will be adequate.


From time to time, we may have a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due.  Any unanticipated change in a customer’s creditworthiness could have a material effect on our results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occurred.  We had only insignificant amounts of accountsAccounts receivable (currently classified with other current assets) and no allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.at September 30, 2012 was $2,145, which we expect to be collectible.


Inventory


Inventory consists of finished goods paper and paper-based products ready for sale and is stated at the lower of cost or market.  We value inventories using the weighted average costing method.  Our Company’s policy is to include as a part of inventory any freight incurred to ship the product from our contract manufactures to our warehouses.  Outbound freights costs related to shipping costs to our customers are considered period costs and reflected in selling, general and administrative costs.  Outbound freight costs to customers were minimal for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. We regularly review inventory and consider forecasts of future demand, market conditions and product obsolescence. If the estimated realizable value orof our inventory is less than cost, we make provisions in order to reduce its carrying value to its estimated market value.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, our Company became aware of quality issues surrounding its copy paper products.  As a result of these quality issues, we determined



F-22


Sugarmade, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2012


that the historical inventory values were not realizable and we recorded a reserve for inventory obsolescence.  The balance for this reserve totaled $195,880 at September 30, 2012.


Other current assets


Other current assets consist mainly of prepaid insurance, deposits and other related expenses.


Equipment


Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Items of equipment with costs greater than $1,500 are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3-7 years.


Intangible assets


We had intangible assets related to the exclusive license and supply agreement (“LSA”) with Sugar Cane Paper Company.    During the year ended June 30, 2012, we performed a review of the LSA including estimations of the likely future cash flows to be derived from the LSA.  Upon completing the review, it was management’s assessment that due to changes in our Company’s manufacturing process, enhancements to the product formulation and the limitations on the credit facility, the fair value of the intangible asset had been impaired to the level that the asset has negligible remaining value. As such, our Company recorded an impairment charge totaling $318,983 for the remaining value of the license and supply agreement as of June 30, 2012.  


Valuation of long-lived assets


We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, we compare the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.  Our management currently believes there is no impairmentAs noted above, for the year ended June 30, 2012, it was determined that the carrying value of our long-lived assets. There canintangible assets should be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demandzero and we recorded an impairment charge for our products under development will continue. Either of these could result in future impairment of long-lived assets.  the full carrying value.


Income taxes

  

We provide for federal and state income taxes currently payable, as well as for those deferred due to timing differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income 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 of a change in income tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.


The accounting guidance for uncertainties in income tax prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits and a consideration of the relevant taxing authority's widely understood administrative practices and precedents.


Stock based compensation


Future stockStock based compensation cost will beis measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the stock-based award, and will be recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award).  We will estimate the fair value of employee stock options granted using the Black-ScholesBlack-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing Model. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options will include the exercise price of the award, the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant, the expected option term, the risk free interest rate at the date of grant, the expected volatility and the expected annual dividend yield on our common stock.  We will use comparable public company data among other information to estimate the expected price volatility and the expected forfeiture rate.  There were no options or warrants issued or outstanding from our Company’s inception through March 31, 2011.Non-employee stock grant costs are measured and recognized upon completion of performance and tied to the contractual obligations of the parties we transact with.

Net lossLoss per share


We calculate basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing our net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without considering common stock equivalents.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income or net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents, such as options and warrants.  Options and warrants are only included in the calculation of diluted EPS when their effect is dilutive.  


Fair value of financial instruments


The Company follows guidance for accounting for fair value accounting guidance definesmeasurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value as “the pricemeasurements of nonfinancial items that would be receivedare recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company adopted guidance for fair value measurement related to sell an asset or paid to transfernonfinancial items that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.”nonrecurring basis. The definition is based on an exit price rather than an entry price, regardless of whether the entity plans to hold or sell the asset.  This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to prioritize inputsvaluation techniques used in measuringto measure fair value as follows:

Level 1:  Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;  

Level 2:  Inputs, other thanvalue. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:


•  

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.


•  

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; andindirectly.


Level 3:  Unobservable3 inputs in which there is littleare unobservable inputs for the asset or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.  liability.

Concentration


Customers


For the three months ended September 30, 2012, our Company earned net revenues of $48,207. A significant portion of our Company’s revenue is derived from a small number of customers. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, sales to one of our Company’s customers accounted for 100% of net sales.


Suppliers


For the three months ended September 30, 2012, all of our tree free paper products were purchased from SCPC and their contract manufacturers.  



Litigation


From time to time, we may become involved in disputes, litigation and other legal actions.  We estimate the range of liability related to any pending litigation where the amount and range of loss can be estimated.  We record our best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable.  Where a liability is probable and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate in the range, we record a charge equal to at least the minimum estimated liability for a loss contingency when both of the following conditions are met: (i) information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and (ii) the range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements


Accounting standards promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) are subject to change.  Changes in such standards may have an impact on theour Company’s future financial statements.  The following are a summary of recent accounting developments.  


In June 2009,2011, the FASB, issued additional guidanceAccounting Standards Update (“ASU”), 2011-05, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires an enterpriseentity to determine whether its variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interestpresent the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a variable interest entity.  The primary beneficiarysingle continuous statement of a variable interest entity is thatcomprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. It eliminates the enterprise that has both (1) the poweroption to direct the activitiespresent components of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb lossesother comprehensive income as part of the entity that could potentiallystatement of changes in stockholders' equity. The ASU does not change the items which must be significantreported in other comprehensive income, how such items are measured or when they must be reclassified to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity.  The guidance also requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprisenet income. This ASU is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.  The new guidance was effective for our Companyinterim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2010 and had noafter December 15, 2011. This ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.


In October 2009,May 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidanceASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, which converges common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This ASU is effective for revenue recognition with multiple deliverables. The new guidance affects the determinationinterim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Our adoption of when the individual deliverables included inthis ASU did not have a multiple-element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting. Additionally, the guidance modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables by no longer permitting the residual method of revenue recognition in accounting for multiple deliverable arrangements. Our Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2010 and it had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.


In January 2010, the FASB issued revised authoritative guidance that requires more robust disclosures about the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the valuation techniques and inputs used, the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, and the transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3.  This A portion of this guidance (excepting disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements) is was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements are were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is encouraged. The revised guidance was adopted as of January 1, 2010 and did not have a material impact our consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition of Sugarmade, Inc.  Sugarmade-CA and related financing activities


On October 26, 2009, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of SMI from a shareholder and member of our Board of Directors in exchange for: 1) cash totaling $340,000; 2) a note payable totaling $60,000; and 3) 10% of the then outstanding common stock of our Company or 72,973 shares (with a nominal value at the date of acquisition of $.001 per share).  Additionally, we are required to pay up to two additional earn-out payments of $200,000 to the seller of SMI: 1) if net income equals or exceeds $10 million in 2011; and/or 2) if net income exceeds $11 million in 2012.


In addition to minimal amounts of saleable inventory, SMI also had an exclusive license and supply agreement (“LSA”) with Sugar Cane Paper Company (“SCPC”) located in the People’s Republic of China and controlled by the owner of SMI.  SCPC is a manufacturer and a holder of intellectual property in the area of paper from non-wood sources.  Under the LSA (as subsequently amended), we obtained the exclusive right (as defined) to market, distribute and manufacture SCPC’s proprietary products in Europe, North and South America and in other designated territories in the world.  We also obtained the rights to the Sugarmade brand name and trademarks and other provisions of the agreement with SCPC also inure to the benefit of our Company.  


We accounted for the acquisition of SMI under the purchase method with the total consideration of $400,000 (the 72,973 shares issued at the time of the transaction had only a nominal fair value) allocated to: 1) the fair value of inventory of $31,942; and 2) the fair value of the LSA of $368,058.  We are amortizing the cost of the LSA over its twenty-year term and it is included in the accompanying balance sheet at its cost (net of accumulated amortization) at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 of $341,990 and $346,591, respectively.  Amortization charged to operations in 2011 and 2010 totaled $4,601 and $4,176, respectively.  When accounting for the acquisition of SMI, we did not record the value of any future contingent earn-out payments as a liability nor as an increase to the value of the SMI assets acquired as we deemed that the likelihood of our Company’s attaining the required levels of profitability that would require such future payments was negligible.  On February 17, 2011, the owner of SCPC agreed to forgive the balance of the note payable and the accrued interest thereon.  We accounted for the forgiveness of the note payable due to this shareholder as a capital contribution during the three months ended March 31, 2011.  


We also entered into an agreement with SCPC to provide a line of credit (“LOC”) for future purchases of product from SCPC.  Advances under the LOC will require that we possess valid purchase orders from non-related customers and repayments will be due thirty days after we receive payments from our customers for the related products financed.  Total borrowings under the agreement are limited to $20 million.  We have had no borrowings outstanding under the LOC through March 31, 2011.

Note receivable and amounts due from shareholder

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we advanced cash totaling $163,000 to a shareholder of our Company under a note receivable bearing interest at the rate of 14% per annum ($109,000 through March 31, 2010).  The note was scheduled to mature on December 31, 2012 and was secured by 60,370 shares of our Company’s common stock held by the shareholder.  Accrued interest due from the shareholder in connection with the notes totaled $24,762 and $18,413 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.   On April 22, 2011, we forgave the principal balance and accrued interest outstanding on the note in exchange for the 59,962 shares of our common stock securing the note.

Stock Option Plan

On March 2, 2009, the Company’s shareholders adopted the 2009 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the “2009 Plan”) and reserved 150,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2009 Plan.  The 2009 Plan provided for the issuance of both non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options (“ISOs”), and permitted grants to employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company.   Generally, stock option grants under this plan will vest over a period from four to five years and have a term not to exceed 10 years, although the Plan Administrator has the discretion to issue option grants with varying terms.   No stock or stock options were issued under the 2009 Plan through March 31, 2011.


On April 27, 2011, our Company’s Board of Directors made modifications to the Plan, including the modification of the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan to 1,500,000 shares.

As of March 31, 2011, we had net operating loss carryforwards for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $880,000 for federal and California state income tax that may be offset against future taxable income.  The net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2024.  Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs.  Therefore, future issuances of our equity securities may limit the amount of NOL available to offset any future taxable income that our Company may generate in the future.  Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of an equivalent amount.  The items accounting for the difference between income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate and the provision for income taxes were as follows:

We performed an analysis of our previous tax filings and determined that there were no positions taken that we consider uncertain and therefore, there were no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2011.  Future changes in the unrecognized tax benefit are not expected to have an impact on the effective tax rate due to the existence of the valuation allowance.  We estimate that the unrecognized tax benefit will not change within the next twelve months.  We will classify income tax penalties and interest, if any, as part of interest and other expenses in our statements of operations (we have incurred no interest or penalties through March 31, 2011).  We have open tax years for federal and state of 2009 through 2011.  Due to our significant net operating loss carryforwards, even if certain of our tax positions were disallowed, we do not believe we will be liable for the payment of taxes in the near future.  Consequently, we did not calculate the impact of interest or penalties on amounts that might be disallowed.

vest evenly on a monthly basis over two years through May 2013, however our Company vested all of the remaining unvested shares in December 2011.    The prepaid stock compensation from the grant was charged to operations at the fair market value of the vesting shares at the time of their vesting since the consultant’s performance was tied to the contractual vesting terms.  Prepaid stock compensation was originally amortized proportionally over the expected vesting term of the shares at the time the shares were vested, with the difference being recorded as additional paid-in capital.  For the year ended June 30, 2012, we recorded noncash charges totaling $1,547,000 in connection with this stock issuance.

The simplified method defines the life as the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted average vesting period for all options. We utilized this approach as our historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate an expected term. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our stock as well as those of a peer group. We estimated the forfeiture rate based on our expectation for future forfeitures and we currently expect substantially all options and warrants to vest. The risk-free rate for periods

As of September 30, 2012, $372,464 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock based compensation arrangements is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 8.7 months.  The following is required disclosure in connection with stock options and warrants (which resulted in share based compensation charges) as of September 30, 2012: 1) weighted average exercise price - $0.78; 2) weighted average remaining contractual term vested and outstanding options – 56.3 and 69.7 months, respectively; 3) aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable options and warrants - $221,655 and $126,225, respectively; 4) weighted average grant date fair value of options and warrants granted - $0.27 per share; and 5) weighted average fair value of options and warrants vested - $0.18 per share.


On September 6, 2012, our Company’s Board of Directors approved the repricing of options and warrants granted to employees, active consultants and board members.  The repriced options and warrants had exercise prices ranging from $1.25 to $3.73.  A total of 1,245,000 options and warrants were amended to reduce the exercise price to $0.52 per share, based on the most recent closing price for our Company’s common stock, which is deemed the fair market value as of that date.  As a result of the repriced options and warrants, our company will be incurring additional stock based compensation totaling $31,450, recognized in the current and future periods over the remaining vesting periods related to the respective securities.  For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded additional stock based compensation expense totaling $13,859 related to the repriced options and warrants.


The exercise prices for options and warrants granted and outstanding which resulted in stock based compensation charges was as follows at September 30, 2012:

Income taxes


We currently estimate our Company’s book net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”) and deferred tax asset balance to total approximately $8,410,000 and $3,390,000, respectively, as of September 30, 2012.  Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar

California rules place a limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be offset by NOL’s after a change in control (generally greater than a 50% change in ownership).  Transactions such as planned future sales of our common stock may be included in determining such a change in control.  These factors give rise to uncertainty as to whether the net deferred tax assets are realizable.  Our in NOL will begin to expire in 2024 for federal and state purposes and could be limited for use under IRC Section 382.  We have recorded a valuation allowance against the entire net deferred tax asset balance due because we believe there exists a substantial doubt that we will be able to realize the benefits due to our lack of a history of earnings and due to possible limitations under IRC Section 382.    


We file income tax returns in the U.S. and in the state of California with varying statutes of limitations.  Our policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of our provision for income taxes.  There were no accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2012.  All operations are in California and the Company believes it has no tax positions which could more-likely-than not be challenged by tax authorities. We have no unrecognized tax benefits and thus no interest or penalties included in the financial statements.

Subsequent events


Between October 5, 2012 and November 12­, 2012, our Company issued a total $60,000 of additional convertible promissory notes to 3 accredited investors.  The terms of these convertible notes are identical to those noted in note 4 above.  In connection with the issuance of the promissory notes, the investors in the aggregate received two-year warrants to purchase up to a total of 9,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share, and two-year warrants to purchase up to a total of 15,000 shares of common stock at $0.01 per share.  The issuance of notes and warrants to the investors was made in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering, and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.


On October 11, 2012, our Company issued four-year warrants to purchase up to 50,000 shares of common stock to our outside legal counsel in relation to legal services as employees or consultantsprovided to the Company.  The warrants have vesting periods ranging between three monthswere issued at an exercise price of $0.50 per common share, at which time the market price of our Company’s common stock was $0.45 per share. The issuance of warrants was made in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and three years.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 24.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, our Board of Directors may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock. Any additional issuance of common stock or the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of impeding or discouraging the acquisition of control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, including a transaction in which our stockholders would receive a premium over the market price for their shares, and thereby protects the continuity of our management.  Specifically, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the Board of Directors was to determine that a takeover proposal was not in our best interest, shares could be issued by the Board of Directors without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover by:

 

·

diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group;


·

putting a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the incumbent board of directors; or


·

effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover.

 

The Delaware Corporations and Associations Act (“Delaware Corporate Law”), with certain exceptions, permits a Delaware corporation to indemnify a present or former director or officer of the corporation (and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities) for liabilities, including legal expenses, arising by reason of service in such capacity if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed, to the best interests of the corporation, and in any criminal proceeding if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. However, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be made with respect to any matter as to which such director or officer shall have been adjudged liable, except in certain limited circumstances.

 

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that we shall indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by Delaware Corporate Law. The indemnification provided by Delaware Corporate Law and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is not exclusive of any other rights to which a director or officer may be entitled. The general effect of the foregoing provisions may be to reduce the circumstances under which an officer or director may be required to bear the economic burden of the foregoing liabilities and expense.

 

We may also purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any director or officer that may cover claims for which we could not indemnify such person.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court's decision.

Item 17.   Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:

(1)   File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

(i)   Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii)   Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)   Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.

(2)   For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

(3)   File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

(b)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(c)   For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities.

Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
