ITEM 1

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Business Development

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 27, 2009. Effective January 22, 2013, we changed our name from Berkeley Coffee & Tea, Inc. to DTS8 Coffee Company, Ltd. Our articles of incorporation authorized the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of common stock each at a par value of $0.001. As of April 30, 2015, 34,791,666 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding.

On April 30, 2012, we acquired one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of DTS8 Holdings, a corporation organized and existing, since June 2008, under the laws of Hong Kong, People’s Republic of China, and which owns DTS8 Coffee, a wholly owned foreign subsidiary entity (“WOFE”) organized and existing in Shanghai under the laws of the People’s Republic of China. In March 2013, we completed the incorporation and licensing of DTS8 Huzhou, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of DTS8 Coffee.

In October 2012, we obtained an exclusive license from Coffee Holdings Company, Inc. to roast, market and sell Don Manuel brand 100% Colombian Coffee in the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Philippines, Myanmar, Indonesia, East Timor, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore and

Brunei. We pay a license fee for all coffee sold under the Don Manuel brand. The license is valid for five (5) years and will expire November 1, 2017. Don Manuel brand 100% Colombian coffee beans are grown at higher elevations and are artisan roasted to give a rich smooth-bodied coffee with sweet-toned syrupy notes and chocolate. The coffee has a balanced acidity and a smooth, clean finish.

We are a gourmet coffee roasting, marketing and wholesale distribution company. Our office and coffee storage facility is located in Shanghai, China. Our coffee roasting facility is located in Nanxun Town, Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. We market and sell gourmet roasted coffee to our customers in Shanghai, and other parts of China. We sell gourmet roasted coffee under the DTS8 Coffee, Don Manuel and private label brands through distribution channels that reach consumers at restaurants, multi-location coffee shops and offices.

We have never declared bankruptcy or been in receivership.

How to Communicate with Us

Our principal executive office is located at Building B, #439, Jinyuan Ba Lu, Jiangqiao Town, Jiading District, Shanghai, 201812, China, and our registered office is located at Suite H, 2248 Meridian Blvd, Minden, Nevada 89423. Our telephone number is 775-360-3031 or 011-86-18101819011 and electronic mail address is sean@dts8coffee.com or info@dts8coffee.com.

Our Business

Our core business revenue is derived from our coffee wholesale operations in China. DTS8 Holdings, through its subsidiaries DTS8 Coffee and DTS8 Huzhou, is in the business of roasting, marketing and selling gourmet roasted coffee to customers in Shanghai and other parts of China. We source coffee beans from around the world. We sell several varieties of gourmet roasted coffee under the “DTS8 Coffee” label through distribution channels such as multi-location coffee shops, restaurants and offices in China. As of April 30, 2015, approximately 90% of our revenue was derived from one customer. However, we anticipate that our reliance on one customer will decline in the future as we obtain new customers and increase our revenue.

The Don Manuel brand is widely distributed and sold in the United States, and its addition to our portfolio complements our DTS8 Coffee brand which is roasted, marketed and sold to customers in Shanghai and other parts of China. The combination of the Don Manuel and DTS8 Coffee brands allows for growth opportunities into select channels of distribution in China and different geographic territories and creates potential opportunities for the growth of our business.

We expect that our continuing and expanding revenue growth will come from bulk roasted coffee sales in China which offers opportunities to develop the DTS8 Coffee brand and to penetrate and capture new market segments. More specifically, our objectives are to align our coffee roasting strengths and product innovation capabilities to offer a distinctive “DTS8 Coffee” brand experience. Our expansion strategy will allow us to grow in a controlled manner by developing our own DTS8 Coffee brand and by enhancing our brand's image and reputation for quality across China. The combination of our brand, differentiated roasted coffee positioning based on superior quality, and our strategic expansion into select distribution channels in different geographic territories creates potential opportunities for growth. We believe that our commitment to quality will establish a high degree of repeat business and customer loyalty.

Principal Products

We believe that our products provide flavor and characteristics suited for Chinese consumers. We choose our raw coffee beans for their richness in aroma and flavor from coffee producers throughout the world. Our coffee beans are grown by farmers in Colombia, Brazil, Indonesia, Kenya, Guatemala, Papua New Guinea and Ethiopia. Our coffees are available for sale in standard sizes of 250g, 500g, and 1kg. In addition to our current three signature blends, we also sell Don Manuel and other blends under in-house labels. We market our coffees in two main categories: gourmet whole bean and private label whole bean. We also roast and market specific blends of roasted coffees on a private label basis. These private labels productions are based on individual arrangements with each customer.

Manufacturing

As of the date of this Report, we own and operate a coffee roasting factory in Nanxun Town, Huzhou, Zhejiang, China. We use a Probat coffee roasting machine. We use a profile roasting system to accurately program the coffee roasting curve by modifying heat levels that are applied at various intervals. It enables the coffee’s degree of acidity or bitterness be accurately controlled, and several taste profiles can also be created from the same green coffee blend. We use packaging bags made with a “Freshness Valve” to allow for a one-way flow of air to ensure that the coffee maintains freshness and remains fresh for a longer period of time.

Coffee Bean Suppliers

Coffee is an agricultural crop that undergoes price fluctuations and quality differences depending on the weather and economic and political conditions in coffee-producing countries. We purchase coffee from coffee brokers who supply us with quality green bean coffees from different countries. We depend upon outside trading companies and exporters for their supply of coffee. We need to maintain our coffee blends and require a continuous supply of similar coffee in the future. Accordingly, we routinely negotiate with the exporters or trading companies to purchase coffee tied to the specific New York “C” futures coffee contract market prices for future deliveries of coffee. The New York “C” futures coffee contract trades on the New York Coffee, Sugar & Cocoa Exchange. The quality of the coffee is determined by testing the grades of coffee and by cup tasting for flavor. We do not depend on any one broker/exporter to supply all of our coffee because a disruption in the supply from one broker/exporter may not be able to be remedied quickly and cost effectively.

Potential Customers in China of Roasted Coffee

The Chinese coffee market is characterized by a gradual shift in demand towards gourmet whole bean and ground coffee products from instant coffee. The trend towards discovering richer coffee taste can be seen in the current proliferation of coffee café’s across China. The demand for better-quality and richer-tasting coffee is also increasing at home, work and restaurants. China has experienced 15% to 20% annual growth in the consumption of coffee. Led initially by Starbucks, consumers in China are learning to drink and appreciate coffee beverages. As a result, more gourmet coffee cafe chain stores are opening all over China. We offer consumers in China several varieties of gourmet coffees. Our DTS8 Coffee is sold in coffee shops, restaurants and offices in China. We sell high quality gourmet coffee to individual coffee shops which are roasted in small batches on private label basis.

Pricing and Competition

Our DTS8 Coffee brand of gourmet roasted coffees competes directly against other local and imported coffees sold at coffee retailers, discount stores and a growing number of coffee stores. Many coffee companies, like Starbucks, Costa, Illy, Coffee Beanery and Tea, and Gloria Jean, are operating retail outlets and sell whole bean coffees through these channels. The gourmet specialty market is highly competitive and contains competitors with substantially greater financial, marketing and operating resources than we have. We are targeting the growing segment of coffee drinkers by offering these consumers the opportunity of drinking quality gourmet coffee.

We also compete directly against all other coffee brands in the Chinese marketplace. We face competition from a number of large multi-national consumer product companies like Nestle Inc., as well as local coffee bean companies. Competition in the coffee market is becoming increasingly intense as relatively low barriers to entry encourage new competitors to enter the market. We believe that our customers choose based upon the quality and variety of the coffee. We believe consumers differentiate coffee brands based on freshness as an element of coffee quality. To our knowledge, few significant competitors focus on custom roasting and product freshness in the same manner as we do.

Government Regulations

As of the date of this Report, our management is unaware of any other federal or state laws and regulations in the United States that would apply to our operations and coffee business. We have a Nevada State Business License that expires on March 31, 2016.

In Shanghai and Huzhou, Zhejiang, China, our coffee roasting operations are subject to various governmental laws, regulations and licenses. These governmental authorities include federal, state and local, health, sanitation, and other departments that have jurisdiction over our operations. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with all such laws and regulations and have obtained all material licenses that are required for the operation of our business, including but not limited to the following: Business License, Tax Registration Certificate, National Industrial Products Production License, The People’s Republic of China Consignees and Consignors of Import and Export Goods Customs Declaration Registration Certificate, Certificate of Approval for Establishment of Enterprises with Investment, Financial Registration for Enterprises with Foreign Investment Registration and State Administration of Foreign Exchange License. We are not aware of any environmental regulations that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our operations.

ITEM 7

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

For the year ended April 30, 2015, our revenue from fresh roasted coffee grew by 19%, which is consistent with growth in revenue we experienced for the year ended April 30, 2014. Chinese consumers now choose coffee more by its original country and flavor instead of the coffee brand which is similar to the trend of coffee consumption habits in Western countries. In China, the improving coffee culture and the popularity of coffee shops in bigger cities is increasing the awareness and sale of fresh roasted coffee. As a roaster of gourmet coffee from several coffee producing countries, we are well positioned in Shanghai, China, with our roasting facility to participate in the development and evolution of the new coffee drinking culture in China. Fresh roasted coffee is only available at a limited number of premium food service establishments and hotels. The opening of new coffee cafes and fast food restaurants has increased coffee sales in China due to the adoption of modern lifestyles and affluence within the country. The evolution in the taste and buying habits of Chinese consumers is creating the development of a robust coffee market.

During the year, we opened a sales office in Shanghai to assist with our increased marketing initiatives. We participated with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce of Shanghai to celebrate Canada Day in Shanghai on June 27, 2015, as an “in-kind” sponsor. We plan to begin roasting and selling fair trade and organic certified coffees in order to take advantage of the growing markets for those products in Shanghai. These coffees are produced by farmers who cultivate less than 3 hectare farms and harvest 1,000-3,000 pounds of coffee per year. During the year, we also continued our strategy to market the DTS8 Coffee brand as fresh roasted premium gourmet coffee to customers in China. In China, the country of origin of coffee beans is receiving increased attention from coffee drinkers. This bodes well for our Don Manuel brand 100% Colombian and other premium roasted gourmet coffee. We are committed to high quality standards, the importance of origin and respect for coffee farmers. Our marketing efforts, combined with the growth of gourmet coffee shop chains in Shanghai, China, are expected to increase the sales of our fresh roasted coffee. The combination of the Don Manuel and DTS8 Coffee brands allows for additional growth opportunities of our business into select channels of distribution in China and other geographic territories.

To date, our core business revenue has been derived from direct coffee wholesale in China. We expect our growth to result from the sale of bulk roasted gourmet coffee, which offers opportunities to develop the DTS8 Coffee brand and to penetrate and capture new market segments. Our market penetration strategies are: (a) consistently selling only the highest quality roasted Arabica coffee; (b) providing a superior and consistent level of customer service; and (c) strategic expansion into select channels of distribution including hotels, restaurants, specialty grocery and gourmet food stores, chain supermarkets and convenience stores, and food and beverage caterers. Our expansion strategy will allow us to grow in a controlled manner by developing our own DTS8 Coffee brand and by enhancing the brand’s image and quality reputation. The combination of our brand,

differentiated roasted coffee positioning based on superior quality, and our strategic expansion into select distribution channels in different geographic territories creates potential opportunities for growth. We also believe that our commitment to quality will establish a high degree of repeat business and customer loyalty.

Review of Operations for the Years Ended April 30, 2015 and April 30, 2014

Results of Operations

Revenue for the year ended April 30, 2015 was $368,977 compared to $310,003 for the year ended April 30, 2014. The increase of approximately 19% is attributable to a general increase in sales volume throughout the year to our existing and new wholesale customers. Cost of sales were $241,316 and $184,225, respectively, and our gross margins for the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 were $127,661 (35% of sales) and $125,778 (41% of sales). The gross margin decline for the 2015 year was due to the increased cost of sales resulting from higher raw coffee prices during the year and an increase in occupancy costs due to the higher lease cost of our roasting factory. In 2014, the gross margin was higher resulting from lower cost of sales due to lower raw coffee prices.

Our general and administrative expenses were $828,430 and $1,030,962 during the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014. Our expenses for the year ended April 30, 2015 were lower as we issued shares at a fair market value of $339,000 for consulting services compared to shares issued at fair market value of $591,400 for consulting services during the prior year. In 2015, we expensed $339,000 in consulting fees, being the fair market price for the issuance of 2,220,000 shares of common stock, whereas in 2014, we expensed $495,400 in consulting fees and $96,000 in legal fees, being the fair market price for the issuance of 2,185,000 shares of common stock. A goodwill impairment adjustment of $3,010,758 was also expensed during the year ended April 30, 2015, as we concluded that such a charge was reasonable following the occurrence of events indicating that some goodwill had been impaired. Our goodwill impairment adjustment during the year ended April 30, 2014 was $1,391,979.

Our marketing expenses were $26,498 and $28,565 during the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014. During the year ended April 30, 2015, we disposed of fixed assets and incurred a loss of $1,015. In 2014, we disposed of a vehicle and realized a gain on disposal of $17,566.

During the year ended April 30, 2015, we terminated our 19% equity interest in a joint venture company, Don Manuel (Shanghai) Investment Management Co. Ltd., incorporated to own, manage and operate Café De La Don Manuel branded coffee cafes throughout China. The $55,000 we paid for the initial investment was written off as loss on investment. In 2015, we incurred convertible note payable interest expenses of $651. Our losses for the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 were $3,794,691 and $2,308,163, respectively, and our currency translation adjustments resulted in losses of $1,113 and $2,534, respectively. Consequently, our comprehensive losses for the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 were $3,795,804 and $2,310,697. Our net loss per share for those years was $0.12 per share on weighted average with 32,973,473 basic and diluted shares for the most recent year, compared to a loss of $0.09 per share on weighted average with 26,825,155 basic and diluted shares for the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Provided below is selected financial data about us for the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014. Our financial statements and notes thereto are included in this Report under “Financial Statements”.


		April 30, 2015		April 30, 2014
Cash	$	85,665	$	33,339
Total assets	$	286,277	$	3,231,147
Total liabilities	$	1,067,286	$	834,852
Stockholders’ equity deficit	$	781,009	$	2,396,295

As of April 30, 2015, we had $85,665 in cash, receivables of $78,551, inventory of $58,150 and prepaid expenses of $9,004, while our accounts payable and accruals were $240,334, loans from related parties were $772,952 and we had a convertible note payable of $54,000. Goodwill was zero due to an impairment charge of

$3,010,758, and the net value of our machinery, plant and equipment was $54,907. Our paid in capital was $7,057,409 and shareholders’ equity deficit was $781,009. Since our inception on March 27, 2009, we have incurred accumulated losses of $7,867,478 and our other comprehensive loss from currency translations was $5,731 as of April 30, 2015.

As of April 30, 2014, we had $33,339 in cash, receivables of $69,526, inventory of $36,647 and prepaid expenses of $8,459, while our accounts payable and accruals were $104,460 and loans from related parties were $730,460. Goodwill net of impairment was $3,010,758 and the net value of our machinery, plant and equipment was $72,418. Our paid in capital was $6,442,992 and shareholders’ equity was $2,396,295. Since our inception on March 27, 2009, we incurred accumulated losses of $4,072,787 and our other comprehensive loss from currency translations was $4,618 as of April 30, 2014.

During the year ended April 30, 2015, we financed our operations by selling shares of common stock and a convertible note. Our ability to continue with our business is subject to our ability to continue generating additional revenue and obtaining equity financing to fund our working capital. To fund our ongoing operations, we may be forced to find alternate sources of financing, which at this time cannot be assured.

As of the date of this Report, we have not incurred any coffee related research and development expenses and do not plan to incur any research or development expenses in the future.

Going Concern

Our accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred material recurring losses from operations. As of April 30, 2015, we had an accumulated deficit, limited cash and unprofitable operations. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenue and cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis. Any failure to generate revenue and profits will raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We plan to retain any cash we earn in order to develop our business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies & Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make a variety of estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and (2) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the future resolution of the uncertainties increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates and assumptions based upon actual results may have a material impact on our results of operation and/or financial condition. We have identified certain accounting policies that we believe are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 4 to the financial statements included in this Report.

Revenue Recognition

We derive our revenue from sale of roasted coffees. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery occurs, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably

assured. Coffees are considered delivered when title and risk have been transferred to the customer. Retail sales are recorded when payment is tendered at point of sale. Wholesale sales are recorded upon delivery of coffee to the customers.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line or accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives of property, plant and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are five to ten years for equipment. We evaluate the recoverability of property and equipment when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. We determine impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets to their respective carrying amounts. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Replacements and betterments are capitalized. The cost and related reserves of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations.

Receivables

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the net realizable value and do not bear interest. No allowance for doubtful accounts was made during the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, based on management’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable. We evaluate our allowance for doubtful accounts based upon knowledge of our customers and their compliance with credit terms. The evaluation process includes a review of customers' accounts on a regular basis. The review process evaluates all account balances with amounts outstanding 60 days and other specific amounts for which information obtained indicates that the balance may be uncollectible. As at April 30, 2015, and 2014, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts. We do not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to our customers.

Goodwill

Upon the acquisition of DTS8 Holdings on April 30, 2012, we recognised $4,402,737 of goodwill. Goodwill is the excess of the acquisition cost of DTS8 Holdings on April 30, 2012, over the cost of net identifiable assets over the fair value of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. The test is performed more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. Impairment is tested by comparing fair value of the goodwill to its carrying value. Any excess of carrying value over fair value is charged to earnings in the period in which impairment is determined. The Financial Accounting Standard ASU 2011-08 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Testing Goodwill for Impairment” allows us to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. We would not be required to calculate the fair value unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. There are a number of events and circumstances for us to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. Management completed this review by following the steps in ASC 350-20-35-3C to evaluate the fair value of the goodwill. As part of the review of the goodwill and on the understanding that examples included in ASC 350-20-35-3C are not exhaustive lists of items that should be considered, management considered all known events, and circumstances that could trigger an impairment of goodwill. Estimating fair value is performed by utilizing various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow. The impairment review is highly judgmental and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions have a significant impact on the amount of any impairment charge recorded. Discounted cash flow methods are dependent upon assumptions of future sales trends, market conditions and cash flows of each reporting unit over several years. Actual cash flows in the future may differ significantly from those previously forecasted. Other significant assumptions include growth rates and the discount rate applicable to future cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors

DTS8 Coffee Company, Ltd.

Shanghai, China

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DTS8 Coffee Company, Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of April 30, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the 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 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 financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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 consolidated financial position of DTS8 Coffee Company, Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of April 30, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

DTS8 COFFEE COMPANY, LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

APRIL 30, 2015 AND 2014

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

DTS8 Coffee Company, Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 27, 2009. Effective January 22, 2013, the Company changed its name from Berkeley Coffee & Tea, Inc. to DTS8 Coffee Company, Ltd. On April 30, 2012, the Company acquired one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of DTS8 Holdings Co., Ltd. (“DTS8 Holdings”), a corporation organized and existing since June 2008 under the laws of Hong Kong, and which owns DTS8 Coffee (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“DTS8 Coffee”), a wholly owned foreign subsidiary entity (“WOFE”) corporation organized and existing in Shanghai since January 19, 2009, under the laws of the People’s Republic of China.

In March 2013, the Company established a 100% owned subsidiary of DTS8 Coffee called DTS8 Coffee (Huzhou) Co. Ltd. (“DTS8 Huzhou”) in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, which is approximately a two hour drive from Shanghai. DTS8 Huzhou is a coffee roaster equipped with the standard procedures to ensure that it meets regulatory requirements for food safety and sanitation in China.

DTS8 Holdings, through its subsidiaries DTS8 Coffee and DTS8 Huzhou, is a gourmet coffee roasting, marketing and wholesale distribution company. The Company’s office and coffee storage facility is located in Shanghai, China, and its coffee roasting facility is located in Nanxun Town, Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. The Company is in the business of roasting, marketing and selling gourmet roasted coffee to customers in Shanghai and other parts of China. It sells gourmet roasted coffee under the “DTS8 Coffee” label and other labels through distribution channels that reach consumers at restaurants, multi-location coffee shops, and offices.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying audited annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-K and Article 8 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the results for the years presented.

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared to present the consolidated statements of financial position, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and consolidated cash flows of the Company for the years ended April 30, 2015, and 2014, for inclusion in the Company’s Form 10-K for purposes of complying with the rules and regulations of the SEC as required by Article 8 of Regulation S-X. The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) using Company specific information where available and allocations and estimates where data is not maintained on the Company specific basis within its books and records. Due to the allocations and estimates used to prepare the financial statements, they may not reflect the financial position, cash flows and results of operations of the Company in the future or its operations, cash flows and financial position.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues, goodwill impairment and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. This reclassification has resulted in no changes to the Company’s accumulated deficit or net loss presented.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of the business. The Company has incurred material losses from operations. At April 30, 2015, the Company had an accumulated deficit in addition to limited cash, limited revenue and unprofitable operations. For the years ended April 30, 2015, and April 30, 2014, the Company sustained net losses. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenue and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis.

NOTE 4 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to US GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Basis of Preparation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared to present the consolidated statements of financial position, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and consolidated cash flows of the Company for the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, and have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, DTS8 Holdings Co., Ltd., DTS8 Coffee (Shanghai) Co., Ltd, and DTS8 Coffee (Huzhou) Co. Ltd. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues, goodwill impairment and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. As of April 30, 2015 and 2014, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held by major financial institutions located in the People’s Republic of China, which management believes are of high credit quality. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. The Company generally does not require collateral for accounts receivable and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts of accounts receivable if necessary.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents comprise certain highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. As at April 30, 2015 and 2014, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash only.

Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value and do not bear interest. No allowance for doubtful accounts was made during the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 based on management’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable. The Company evaluates its allowance for doubtful accounts based upon knowledge of its customers and their compliance with credit terms. The evaluation process includes a review of customers’ accounts on a regular basis. The review process evaluates all account balances with amounts outstanding for more than 60 days and other specific amounts for which information obtained indicates that the balance may be uncollectible. As of April 30, 2015 and 2014, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost for inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The cost includes all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale and putting them in a sellable condition. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, the management makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to current or committed inventory levels. The Company estimates the demand requirements based on market conditions, forecasts prepared by its customers, sales contracts and orders in hand. In addition, the Company estimates net realizable value based on intended use, current market value and inventory aging analyses. The Company writes down inventories for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and their estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Inventories principally consist of green coffee beans, roasted coffee beans and packing supplies.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use. Depreciation is provided on straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as set out below. Major remodels and improvements are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for impairment of property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets in accordance with ASC 360, “Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of”, which requires the Company to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability when there is event or circumstance that indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable (when carrying amount exceeds the gross, undiscounted cash flows from use and disposition) and is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the asset’s (or asset group’s) fair value. There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014.

Impairment of Goodwill

Upon the acquisition of DTS8 Holdings on April 30, 2012, the Company recognised $4,402,737 of goodwill. Goodwill is the excess of the acquisition cost of DTS8 Holdings on April 30, 2012, over the cost of net identifiable assets over the fair value of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. The test is performed more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. Impairment is tested by comparing fair value of the goodwill to its carrying value. Any excess of carrying value over fair value is charged to earnings in the period in which impairment is determined. The Financial Accounting Standard ASU 2011-08 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Testing Goodwill for Impairment” allows the Company to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company would not be required to calculate the fair value unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. There are a number of events and circumstances for the Company to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. Management must complete this review by following the steps in ASC 350-20-35-3C to evaluate the fair value of the goodwill. As part of the review of the goodwill and on the understanding that examples included in ASC 350-20-35-3C are not exhaustive lists of items that should be considered; management must consider all known events, and circumstances that could trigger an impairment of goodwill. Estimating fair value is performed by utilizing various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow. The impairment review is highly judgmental and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions have a significant impact on the amount of any impairment charge recorded. Discounted cash flow methods are dependent upon assumptions of future sales trends, market conditions and cash flows of each reporting unit over several years. Actual cash flows in the future may differ significantly from those previously forecasted. Other significant assumptions include growth rates and the discount rate applicable to future cash flows.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current receivables and payables qualify as financial instruments. Management concluded the carrying values are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and if applicable, their stated interest rate approximates current rates available. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. It is management’s opinion that as of April 30, 2015 and 2014, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented on the balance sheet. This is attributed to the short maturities of the instruments and that interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective balance sheet dates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenue from the sale of roasted coffee. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery occurs, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Coffees are considered delivered when title and risk have been transferred to the customer. Retail sales are recorded when payment is tendered at the point of sale. Wholesale sales are recorded upon delivery of coffee to the customers. In the People’s Republic of China, a value added tax (“VAT”) of 17% on invoiced amount is collected on behalf of tax authorities. Revenues represent the invoiced value of goods sold, net of VAT.

Advertising and Promotion Costs

Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not incur any advertising costs.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Valuation allowances are provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain. The provision for income taxes represents current taxes payable net of the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Comprehensive Income

The Company has adopted ASC 220, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which requires inclusion of foreign currency translation adjustments, reported separately in its statement of stockholders’ equity, in other comprehensive income. During the periods presented, other comprehensive income includes cumulative translation adjustment from foreign currency translation.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is United States dollars (“USD”). The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries DTS8 Coffee and DTS8 Huzhou in the People’s Republic of China is Chinese currency Renminbi (“RMB”). Since RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies, all foreign exchange transactions involving RMB must take place either through the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”) or other institutions authorized to buy and sell foreign exchange. The exchange rate adopted for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange quoted by the PBOC.

The Company maintains its financial statements in the functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the respective periods.

For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries DTS8 Coffee and DTS8 Huzhou in the People’s Republic of China are maintained in RMB and translated into USD. Balance sheet accounts with the exception of equity are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, income and expense accounts are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period and the equity accounts were stated at their historical exchange rate.

Adjustments resulting from the translation or RMB to USD, included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholder’s equity, were losses of $ 5,731 and $4,618 as of April 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The exchange rates used for foreign currency translation were as follows (USD$1 = RMB):


Period Covered	Balance Sheet Date Rates	Annual Average Rates
Year ended April 30, 2015	6.1137	6.1454
Year ended April 30, 2014	6.1580	6.1483

Related Parties

A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments, such as convertible note payable, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. The Company had no dilutive securities as of April 30, 2015 and 2014. For the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, basic and diluted loss per share was the same due to the Company’s loss position.

Stock Issued for Services

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718 which requires companies to measure the cost of services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based upon the grant-date fair value of the award. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Stock-based compensation awards to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-50.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. This ASU affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets. This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchanged for those goods or services. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period”. The amendments in the ASU require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December

15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. The amendments in the ASU provide guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”. The amendments in the ASU are intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs and require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 7 – GOODWILL

On April 30, 2012, the Company’s acquisition of DTS8 Holdings resulted in recording of goodwill of $4,402,737. As detailed in ASC 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill”, the Company tests for goodwill impairment at end of its fiscal year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. On April 30, 2015 and 2014, in accordance with ASC 350-20-35-3A, the Company performed a test for goodwill impairment. Management completed a qualitative analysis to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting entity is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. To complete this review, management followed the steps in ASC 350-20-35-3C to evaluate the fair value

of the goodwill. As part of management’s review of the goodwill and on the understanding that examples included in ASC 350-20-35-3C are not exhaustive lists of items that should be considered, management considered all known events, and circumstances that could trigger an impairment of goodwill. Management concluded that events rose indicating impairment of the goodwill during the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014. The general economic conditions in Shanghai, China, are considered positive. However, the events indicating impairment included the Company’s inability to raise large public or private equity financing in the United States. The Company’s ability to access capital to fund its business operations remained weak and challenging during the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014. The differing cultures, consumer preferences, corruption, anti-Chinese sentiments, diverse uncertain government regulations, tax systems and currency regulations are business risks impacting the Company’s current operations. In addition, there are no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional new license, permits or other approvals on a cost-effective basis or in a timely manner to prevent disruption to its business and operations in Huzhou and Shanghai, China. In addition, the Company has limited revenue and accumulated losses. It requires working capital to fund its business, and be successful in generating increased revenue. Accordingly, based on a qualitative assessment it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount of the goodwill. Management carried the second step of the impairment testing procedure. It included determining the recoverable amount, book value and fair value of the reporting unit. Estimating fair value is performed by utilizing various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow. The impairment review is highly judgmental and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions have a significant impact on the amount of any impairment charge recorded. Discounted cash flow methods are dependent upon assumptions of future sales trends, market conditions and cash flows of each reporting unit over several years. Actual cash flows in the future may differ significantly from those previously forecasted. Other significant assumptions include growth rates and the discount rate applicable to future cash flows. Based on this evaluation, the recorded goodwill value exceeded the implied value of the goodwill. Accordingly, management recognized $3,010,758 and $1,391,979 of goodwill impairment loss for the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. It is possible that the assumptions used by management related to the evaluation may change or that actual results may vary significantly from management's estimates.

Changes in the carrying amount of the goodwill for the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:


April 30, 2013	Goodwill, net of impairment	$4,402,737
	Impairment charge for the year ended April 30, 2014	$(1,391,979)
April 30, 2014	Goodwill, net of impairment	$3,010,758
	Impairment charge for the year ended April 30, 2015	$(3,010,758)
April 30, 2015	Goodwill, net of impairment	-

NOTE 12 – CONCENTRATION RISK

The Company conducts business in China. Consequently, any political, economic and social unrest and/or instability in China may adversely affect the Company’s business operations. In particular, instability in the supply of raw green beans to China could result in a decrease in the availability of coffee beans needed for the continued operation and growth of the Company’s business. It could also lead to an increase in the purchasing costs and increased operating costs. This may adversely affect the Company’s business.

As of April 30, 2015, approximately 90% of the Company’s revenue and accounts receivables were derived from one customer. The Company anticipates that the reliance on one customer will decline in the future as it obtains new customers and increases its revenue.

NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES

Hong Kong

DTS8 Holdings was incorporated in Hong Kong and, under the current Hong Kong Inland Revenue Ordinance, the Company is subject to 16.5% income tax on its taxable income generated from operations in Hong Kong. For the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, no provision for Hong Kong tax has been made as DTS8 Holdings has no taxable income generated from operations in Hong Kong during the year.

People’s Republic of China

The Company’s subsidiaries DTS8 Coffee, a WOFE corporation organized and existing in Shanghai under the laws of the People’s Republic of China, and DTS8 Huzhou, a corporation organized and existing in Nanxun, Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, are governed by the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “EIT Law”). The Company is subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements. The EIT Law also imposes a withholding income tax of 10% on dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to its immediate holding company outside of China, if such immediate holding company is considered as a non-resident enterprise without any establishment or place within China or if the received dividends have no connection with the establishment or place of such immediate holding company within China, unless such immediate holding company’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement. According to the arrangement between Mainland China and Hong Kong Special

Administrative Region on the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Prevention of Fiscal Evasion in August 2006, dividends paid by a foreign-invested enterprise in China to its direct holding company incorporated in Hong Kong will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of no more than 5% (if the foreign investor owns directly at least 25% of the shares of the FIE).

As of April 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company was still in loss position; therefore no deferred tax liability was recognized related to the undistributed earnings subject to withholding tax.


	Year Ended April 30,
	2015		2014
Deferred tax assets
Net operating loss carrying forward	$	51,422	$	58,958
Total deferred tax assets		51,422		58,958
Valuation allowance		(51,422)		(58,958)
Net deferred tax assets	$	-	$	-

Net operating loss carry forward of the Company, amounted to $205,745and $248,819 for the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The net operating loss carry forwards are available to be utilized against future taxable income for years through fiscal period 2019. In assessing the reliability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of April 30, 2015 and 2014, deferred income tax assets represented the operating loss carry forward of the Company’s subsidiary, DTS8 Coffee. Management believes that the Company’s cumulative losses arising from recurring business in recent years constituted significant negative evidence that deferred tax assets would not be realizable and this evidence outweighed the expectations that the Company would generate future taxable income. Therefore, a full valuation allowance has been provided against the Company’s deferred income tax assets as of April 30, 2015 and 2014.

The Company accumulated losses for the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014; therefore no tax provision was provided. The reconciliation between the U.S. statutory income tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate is as below:


	Year Ended April 30,
	2015		2014

U.S. Federal income tax statutory rate		35%		35%
PRC statutory income tax rate (25%) difference		(10%)		(10%)

Effective tax rate		0%		0%

NOTE 14 – INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE COMPANY

Effective June 10, 2014, the Company owned a 19% equity interest in a joint venture company, Don Manuel (Shanghai) Investment Management Co. Ltd. (the “JV Company”), established in the Shanghai Tax Free Zone, to own, manage and operate Café De La Don Manuel branded coffee cafes throughout China. The agreement governing the creation and operation of the JV Company was dated May 27, 2014, and was valid until May 27, 2025. The registered capital of the JV Company is RMB 5 million (approximately $830,000). The Company’s share of the cash investment was $162,800 for the 19% equity interest. The Company paid $55,000 and the balance of $107,800 was payable in installments. The first café of the JV Company opened in October 2014 in the Bund area of Shanghai. Effective April 30, 2015, the Company relinquished its 19% equity interest in the JV Company due to disagreement with the JV Company shareholders. In addition, the Company forfeited $55,000 it paid as initial equity

contribution. There are no additional payments to be made by the Company. For the year ended April 30, 2015, the Company recorded $55,000 as loss on investment in joint venture.

NOTE 15 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE

On March 10, 2015, the Company issued a convertible note in the amount of $54,000. The note is due together with any interest on December 10, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company has to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance of the note at the rate of 8% per annum from March 10, 2015 until the Maturity Date. Any amount of principal or interest on the note which is not paid on the Maturity Date shall bear an interest at the rate of 22% per annum from the due date until the note is paid in full. The holder of the note shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is 180 days following the date of the note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the note, each in respect of the remaining outstanding principal amount of the note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company. The conversion price shall equal, subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Company, 61% multiplied by the market price of the average of the lowest three trading prices for the common stock during the 10 trading days prior to the conversion date.

In accordance with ASC 815-15, the Company analyzed the conversion option of the note for derivative accounting consideration. The Company determined that the conversion option of the note should be classified as a liability once the conversion option becomes effective after 180 days because there is no limit to the number of shares of common stock to be issued upon conversion of the note. As of April 30, 2015, the balance payable on the convertible note was $54,651 representing the principal amount of $54,000 plus accrued interest of $651.

NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In May 2015, the Company paid $98,140 of an outstanding loan payable to a consultant. The amount owed as of April 30, 2015 was $382,152, and after the payment, $284,012 remained outstanding, also see Note 8.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Our Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls

Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, April 30, 2015 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to us required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The internal control process has been designed, under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2015, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on this assessment, management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2015 was effective.

Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework.

This Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended April 30, 2015, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Mr. Tan was not the founder of Growers Direct and his involvement followed several changes in the management of Growers Direct. However, due to the recession it became impossible to obtain the necessary funding to restructure the debts of Growers Direct. Due to the limited availability of funding and existing recessionary conditions in the United States, Growers Direct did not have sufficient funding to continue its operations prior to Mr. Tan’s appointment as President.

Code of Ethics

Effective March 30, 2010, our board of directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, our President (being our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (being our principal financial and accounting officer and controller), as well as persons performing similar functions. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by us;

compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and

accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our personnel be accorded full access to our President and Chief Financial Officer with respect to any matter which may arise relating to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Further, all of our personnel are to be accorded full access to our board of directors if any such matter involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by our President or Chief Financial Officer.

In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly managers and/or supervisors, have a responsibility for maintaining our financial integrity, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal, provincial and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to his or her immediate supervisor or to our President or Chief Financial Officer. If the incident involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by the President or Chief Financial Officer, the incident must be reported to any member of our board of directors. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was filed with the SEC as an Exhibit to our Registration Statement on Form S-1. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request directed to: DTS8 Coffee Company, Ltd., Suite H, 2248 Meridian Blvd, Minden, Nevada 89423.

Audit Committee

Our board of directors performs the function of an audit committee and includes Sean Tan and Alexander Liang, neither of whom is considered to be independent. We will appoint additional independent directors to our board and committees in the future. We do not have any independent board members on our audit committee who are considered to be financial experts. We do not have an audit committee financial expert, or any committee or person performing a similar function. We currently have limited working capital and revenues. Management does not believe that it would be in our best interests at this time to retain independent directors to sit on an audit committee.

Board of Directors

As of the date of this Report, we have two directors on our board: Sean Tan and Alexander Liang. The directors are not considered to be independent. We plan to appoint additional independent directors to our board and committees in the future. Our directors are reimbursed for expenses, if any, for attendance at meetings of the board of directors.

To date, no security holders have made any such recommendations. Our directors perform all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees. Given the present size of our board it is not practical for us to have committees. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations we intend to expand the size of our board and allocate responsibilities accordingly

Corporate Governance

As of the date of this Report, no material changes were made to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.

We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada. Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 13

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Transactions with Related Persons

Related party transactions are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

Upon the acquisition of DTS8 Holdings on April 30, 2012, we assumed a loan from Sean Tan to DTS8 Holdings. As of April 30, 2015 and April 30, 2014, $120,000 and $120,000, respectively, was recorded as loan from related parties. Mr. Tan is our Chief Executive Officer and director. No interest payment was due. The loan bears no interest and has no fixed term of repayment. Mr. Tan has agreed not to demand payment within the next fiscal year.

On March 31, 2011, we entered into a management agreement with Mr. Tan to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Tan’s engagement commenced on March 1, 2011, and shall continue on a year-to-year basis until terminated by either party upon 60 days prior written notice to the other party. The monthly management fee payments of $6,000 to Mr. Tan are paid in arrears on the last day of each month. As of April 30, 2015, $110,000 of management fees was owed to Mr. Tan.

In February 2015, we paid $13,438 as a full and final payment for a loan from the spouse of Mr. Tan, which was recorded as loan from related parties. As of April 30, 2014, $13,143 was owed to the spouse of Mr. Tan.

On April 30, 2012, upon our acquisition of DTS8 Holdings, we assumed a loan payable of $382,396 owed by DTS8 Coffee to a consultant who provides accounting and financial reporting services to us through his company from time to time on a monthly basis. The amounts owed, as loan payable, as of April 30, 2015 and April 30, 2014, were $ 382,152 and $375,572, respectively. In May 2015, we paid $98,140 towards the outstanding loan payable. The amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing, has no fixed term of repayment, and is repayable on demand, and the consultant has agreed not to demand payment within the next fiscal year. In addition, for the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, we owed the consultant $160,800 and $118,900, respectively, for the consulting services provided by the consultant. Neither the consultant nor his company is a shareholder of the Company.

As of the date of this Report, there have been no other transactions or proposed transactions in the past two years in which we were or are a party to a transaction which has materially affected or will materially affect us in which any director, promoter, executive officer or beneficial holder of more than 10% of our outstanding common stock, or any of their respective relatives, spouses, associates or affiliates, has had or will have any direct or indirect material interest.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

We do not currently have any conflicts of interest by or among our current officers, director or advisors. We have established a Conflicts of Interest policy in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requiring officers and directors to take certain precautions and actions to protect us from potential risks that may arise from conflicts of interests between future officers, directors, vendors or customers. However, the Conflicts of Interest Policy contemplates a corporate structure that is not currently applicable to us and therefore is currently ineffective. In the future, we intend to appoint additional independent directors to our board of directors. Accordingly, conflicts of interest may arise which could influence these persons on evaluating possible acquisitions or in generally acting on our behalf as a result of their respective outside business interests. Directors are to act honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests. In addition, directors in a conflict of interest position are required to disclose certain conflicts to us and to abstain from voting in connection with the matter.

To assist us in minimizing future conflicts of interest, related-person transactions must be approved by our board of directors composed of independent directors, who will approve the transaction only if they determine that it is in our best interests. In considering the transaction, the board of directors will consider various factors, including, as applicable: (i) the related person’s interest in the transaction; (ii) the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the transaction; (iii) the approximate dollar value of the amount of the related person’s interest in the transaction without regard to the amount of any profit or loss; (iv) our business rationale for entering into the transaction; (v) the alternatives to entering into a related-person transaction; (vi) whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable to us than terms that could have been reached with an unrelated third party; (vii) the potential for the transaction to lead to an actual or apparent conflict of interest and any safeguards imposed to prevent such actual or apparent conflicts; (viii) the overall fairness of the transaction to us; (ix) valuations generated by independent third-party coffee brokers, if any, where the transaction in question is the purchase of coffee from a related party; and (x) any other information regarding the transaction or the related person in the context of the proposed transaction that would be material to investors in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction.

Director Independence

As of the date of this Report, we have two directors on our board, Sean Tan and Alexander Liang, neither of whom is considered to be independent. We plan to appoint additional independent directors to our board and committees in the future. We do not have any independent board members on our audit committee who are considered to be financial experts.
