EXPLANATORY NOTE:

The Company is furnishing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A in order to amend the previously filed Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 26, 2014. This Form 8-K/A Amendment No. 3 is being furnished to revise the disclosure under Item 4.02 “Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements of an Audit Related Report or Completed Interim Review” to provide additional information as required by Item 4.02 of Form 8-K.



SECTION 4 - MATTERS RELATED TO ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Item 4.02
Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
 
On March 26, 2013, EWSI entered into a set of agreements with XuFu (Shanghai) Co, Ltd, (“XuFu”) a company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and formerly known as Yazhuo, through which EWSI provides business development activities through its eVolve business unit headed by Daniel Feeney, Senior Vice President.  The interests in XuFu were initially consolidated on the Company’s interim financial statements as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”).  The contracts with XuFu enable the Company to legally operate in China to capitalize on the vast opportunity in that market for electronic waste disposal and other opportunities for EWSI brand development. The Company has analyzed the controls and processes in place at XuFu and has concluded that consolidation is not proper at this time pending implementation of appropriate financial systems and controls.  Based on these facts and circumstances, the Company has concluded that it should not have consolidated the interests of Xufu in the Company’s interim period financial statements during the year ended December 31, 2013.  To eliminate any doubt about the accounting treatment as of December 31, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors has suspended the VIE.  Accordingly, the Company has not consolidated Xufu in its consolidated financial statements to be published in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The Company will follow guidance in accordance with ASC 250 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” and take the necessary action as soon as practicable.
