Management Discussion and Analysis
Sales revenues, net
Sales revenues, net increased to approximately $145,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $119,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to an increase in product sales demand. Sales revenues, net excludes revenue from shipping charges and reflects the deduction of commission expense. The Company’s policy is to pay commissions to Affiliates upon receipt of sales orders even before revenue can be recognized. In addition, sales orders dropped from $ 360,820 to $37,600 which caused commission expense to decrease to $23,900 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $195,550 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
The Company’s revenue recognition policy is in accordance with the requirements of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB 104”), ACT Topic 605, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s products) and other applicable revenue recognition guidance and interpretations. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonable assured. Transportation income is generated form transporting passengers and cargo and is recognized at the time when passengers and cargo are conveyed to the destination port. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. Commissions paid to the Company’s affiliates are considered to be a reduction of the selling prices of its products, and are recorded as a reduction of revenue.

Management Discussion and Analysis
Sales revenues, net of commission expense, decreased to approximately $750,000 for the year ended March 31, 2015 from approximately $1,488,000 for the year ended March 31, 2014 primarily due to a decline in sales demand from the Company’s Affiliates. The Company’s policy is to pay commissions to its Affiliates upon receipt of the sales orders even though revenue is not recognized by the Company until later when the products are delivered. In addition, sales orders dropped from $2.6 million to $1.3 million which caused the associated commission expense to decrease to approximately $799,000 for the year ended March 31, 2015 from approximately $1,506,000 for the year ended March 31, 2014.
Commissions paid to the Company’s Affiliates are considered to be a reduction of the selling prices of its products, and are recorded as a reduction of revenue.

Sales revenues, net
Sales revenues, net decreased to approximately $263,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 from approximately $348,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 primarily due to a decline in sales demand from the Company’s Affiliates. Sales revenues, net excludes revenue from shipping charges and reflects the deduction of commission expense. The Company’s policy is to pay commissions to Affiliates upon receipt of sales orders even before revenue can be recognized. In addition, sales orders dropped from $601,000 to $460,000 which caused commission expense to decrease to $270,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 from $366,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013.
The Company’s revenue recognition policy is in accordance with the requirements of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB 104”), ACT Topic 605, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s products) and other applicable revenue recognition guidance and interpretations. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonable assured. Transportation income is generated form transporting passengers and cargo and is recognized at the time when passengers and cargo are conveyed to the destination port. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. Commissions paid to the Company’s affiliates are considered to be a reduction of the selling prices of its products, and are recorded as a reduction of revenue.
Loss from disposal of Excalibur
The Company recorded a loss of approximately $2,623,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2014 due to the approximately $9.7 million loss arising from the write-off of the Company’s total receivable from Excalibur. The loss was offset by an approximately $7 million gain resulting from the deconsolidation of Excalibur arising from the Company’s loss of its shareholding rights in Excalibur.

Sales revenues, net
Sales revenues, net decreased to approximately $119,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from approximately $511,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to a decline in sales demand from the Company’s Affiliates. Sales revenues, net excludes revenue from shipping charges and reflects the deduction of commission expense. The Company’s policy is to pay commissions to Affiliates upon receipt of sales orders even before revenue can be recognized. In addition, sales orders dropped from $561,000 to $361,000 which caused commission expense to decrease from $317,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $196,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
The Company’s revenue recognition policy is in accordance with the requirements of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB 104”), ACT Topic 605, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s products) and other applicable revenue recognition guidance and interpretations. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonable assured. Transportation income is generated form transporting passengers and cargo and is recognized at the time when passengers and cargo are conveyed to the destination port. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. Commissions paid to the Company’s affiliates are considered to be a reduction of the selling prices of its products, and are recorded as a reduction of revenue.
Income/(loss) from discontinued operations
Following the disposal of the Ocean LaLa in March 2014, the operating results associated with the transportation business have been classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements. The Company recorded a loss of approximately $29,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2014, mainly due to interest expense accrued for the Euro 2 million arbitration award payable to Ezone ( refer to Note 17 – Litigation), compared to a loss of approximately $152,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2013, mainly due to higher depreciation, payroll and other operating expenses in the same period last year.

Auditor trail
Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Dismissal of independent registered public accounting firm.
On April 16, 2014, the Company notified Anderson Bradshaw PLLC (“Anderson Bradshaw”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, that Anderson Bradshaw would be dismissed as the Company's principal accountant for the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. Anderson Bradshaw’s dismissal became effective on April 16, 2014. The decision to change the accounting firm was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Audit Committee”).
The reports of Anderson Bradshaw on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
The Company has not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the subsequent interim periods through the effective date of the dismissal of Anderson Bradshaw, there was no disagreement on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope of procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Anderson Bradshaw, would have caused Anderson Bradshaw to make reference thereto in its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such periods.
There have been no reportable events as provided in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K during the Company’s fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and any subsequent periods through the effective date of the dismissal of Anderson Bradshaw.
The Company’s management has authorized Anderson Bradshaw to respond fully to the inquiries of the new independent registered public accounting firm regarding all matters.
The Company provided Anderson Bradshaw a copy of the disclosure set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and requested that Anderson Bradshaw furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of Anderson Bradshaw’s letter to the SEC is filed hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
(b) Engagement of new independent registered public accounting firm.
On April 16, 2014, the Company engaged Paritz & Company, P.A. (“Paritz”) to serve as its independent registered public accounting firm. During the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and during the subsequent interim period through the date of Paritz’s engagement, the Company did not consult with Paritz regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements by Partiz, in each case where written or oral advice provided by Paritz would be an important factor considered in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues, or (iii) any other matter that was the subject of a disagreement between the Company and Anderson Bradshaw or was a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, respectively. The decision to engage Paritz has been approved by the Audit Committee.

Investor Alert
Section 1 Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 15, 2012, EFT Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Letter”) from Meifu Development Co., Ltd. (“Meifu”), a company incorporated in the Republic of China (“Taiwan”), wherein Meifu served notice of a termination (as of that date) of its contracts with the Company for the purchase of an office building in Taipei, Taiwan (the “Taiwan Building”) and a purported forfeiture of the Company’s deposit of approximately $17.3 million (the “Deposit”). The Company is currently considering how to respond to the Letter.
On May 2, 2011, Jack Qin, as an agent, entered into agreements with Meifu and TransGlobe Life Insurance Inc. (“TransGlobe”) to purchase the Taiwan Building, which is under construction and expected to be completed by the end of 2013. On July 1, 2011 and July 7, 2011, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (EFT Investment Co. Ltd. (Taiwan)), as a party to the contract in place of Jack Qin, entered into two sets of agreements with the sellers of the office building that provided for substantially the same rights and obligations as the original May 2, 2011 agreements.
The total purchase price for the Taiwan Building, which consists of 14 floors and 144 parking spaces, is approximately $237.9 million. Pursuant to the terms of its agreements with Meifu and TransGlobe, the Company was obliged to pay the Deposit to Meifu, a separate deposit to Transglobe and to make twelve (12) installments (in various amounts) until the completion of the building project. The residual payment of approximately $164 million was due at the time of completion of the building project.
The latest payment to Meifu, in the amount of approximately $13.4 million purportedly due on January 20, 2012, was suspended by the Company due to, among other things, the failure of Meifu to comply with certain conditions precedent applicable to the agreements. Meifu has declared in the Letter that its contracts with the Company for the Taiwan Building have been terminated and that the previously paid Deposit is forfeited. The Company is currently considering how to respond to the Letter, and will take all steps to protect its rights.

The Company’s products are sensitive to business and personal discretionary spending levels and tend to decline or grow more slowly during economic downturns, including downturns in any of the Company’s major markets. The current worldwide recession is expected to adversely affect the Company’s sales and liquidity for the foreseeable future . Although the Company has mitigated decreases in sales by lowering its levels of inventory to preserve cash on hand, the Company does not know when the recession will subside and when consumer spending will increase from its current depressed levels. Even if consumer spending increases, the Company is not sure when consumer spending will increase for its products which will affect its liquidity

Comments & Business Outlook
Comments & Business Outlook
We believe that the Business to Customer business is robust and that consumers have become more confident in ordering products, like ours, over the internet. However, the nutritional supplement and cosmetic e-business markets have and continue to become increasingly competitive and are rapidly evolving. Barriers to entry are minimal and current and new competitors can launch new websites at a relatively low cost. Many competitors in this area have greater financial, technical and marketing resources than our Company. Continued advancement in technology and increasing access to that technology is paving the way for growth in direct marketing. We also face competition for consumers from retailers, duty-free retailers, specialty stores, department stores and specialty and general merchandise catalogs, many of which have greater financial and marketing resources than we have. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we believe that we are well-positioned within the Asian consumer market with our current plan of supplying American merchandise brands to consumers and that our exposure to both the Asian and American cultures gives us a competitive advantage. There can be no assurance that we will maintain our competitive edge or that we will continue to provide only American made merchandise.
However, the global economy is currently undergoing a period of unprecedented volatility, and the future economic environment may continue to be less favorable than that of recent years. This has led, and could further lead, to reduced consumer spending in the foreseeable future, and this may include spending on nutritional and beauty products and other discretionary items, like our products. In addition, reduced consumer spending may drive us and our competitors to decrease prices. These conditions may adversely affect our revenues and profits.
Our long-term plan is to use funds from the private placement and revenues earned for investments and acquisitions to allow us to grow our existing business operations and to enter into additional territories. To date, we have not located any acquisition targets nor do we have any commitments for capital expenditures, other than Excalibur. We believe that due to the current global economic recession, there might be material opportunities for us to acquire smaller companies at discount prices. There can be no assurances however that we will be successful in doing so. Our expansion will rely to a great degree on global economic conditions and perceived future changes. Until such time, we intend to retain our cash reserves to fund our operations.

Potential Valuation Scenarios
Previous valuation scenarios should not be relied upon, due to a recent significant decline in revenues and profitability .
The situation may be temporary:
Our Revenues decreased from $22,984,940 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 to $12,993,810 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 . Revenues decreased because of natural disasters that occurred in China from extreme cold, earth quakes, and monsoon and interruptions caused by delivery problems due to the Beijing Olympics.
The GeoTeam ® will monitor the next few quarters for signs of a rebound.

Research
Came public via a reverse merger. The company is still on the Pink Sheets. "After giving effect to the exchange, there will be approximately 61,256,900 shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding." (Source: Press November 8, 2007) Company issued guidance in November 2007 for the year ending December 2007 equating to 100% revenue growth and net income growth. The company did not give earnings per share (EPS) guidance. Using 61.2 million shares outstanding this would translate into $.36 EPS. The GeoTeam is still attempting to find out if guidance assumed any tax. We hope that there will be more information forthcoming soon, as the company recently hired an accounting firm to prepare audited financials. If guidance is taxed and if the company can continue its growth the stock may attract investor attention. The GeoTeam® also needs to get a better handle on capital and possible share needs.
Potential Valuation Scenarios
Trailing earnings per share (EPS): $0.36 Forward EPS: NA EPS past growth rate: 100% EPS future growth rate: NA The GeoTeam used 2007 guidance to derive EPS of $.36 in these scenarios. The company still has not reported 2007 results. We also assumed the company to be fully taxed . We will provide an update as soon as more information becomes available. Short Term (NOW) Scenarios Based on: P/E of 25 on four quarters trailing EPS: $9.00 P/E of 15 on four quarters forward EPS: NA* Long Term ( 12 Months Forward) Scenario Based on: P/E of 25 on four quarters forward EPS: NA* Alternate Scenarios Based on P/E to EPS Growth Comparison: Common rule of thumb that the P/E should equal the past EPS growth rate: $36.00 Common rule of thumb that the P/E should equal the future EPS growth rate: NA* *Estimates and/or guidance not currently available. These scenarios are not intended to be buy or sell investment advice, but are scenarios based on some commonly used investment guidelines.
