NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Joway Health Industries Group Inc. (referred to herein as “Joway Health”), its subsidiaries, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where Joway Health is deemed the primary beneficiary. Joway Health, its subsidiaries and VIEs are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, “we” and “us”.
 
Joway Health (formerly G2 Ventures, Inc.) was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas on March 21, 2003. On September 21, 2010, Joway Health entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange”) with the sole stockholder of Dynamic Elite International Limited. As a result of the Share Exchange, Dynamic Elite became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Joway Health and the stockholders of Dynamic Elite acquired approximately 76.08% of the issued and outstanding stock of Joway Health. The share exchange transaction resulted in the shareholders of Dynamic Elite acquiring a majority voting interest in Joway Health. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America require that the company whose shareholders retain the majority interest in the combined business be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. The reverse acquisition process utilizes the capital structure of Joway Health and the assets and liabilities of Dynamic Elite recorded at historical cost. On December 22, 2010, Joway Health changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from the State of Texas to the State of Nevada.
 
Dynamic Elite International Limited (referred to herein as “Dynamic Elite”) was incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on June 2, 2010 as a limited liability company (a BVI company). Dynamic Elite engages in manufacturing and distributing tourmaline products in China.

Joway Shengshi entered into a share acquisition agreement with Jingyun Chen, another stockholder of Joway Technology on July 25, 2010 to acquire the remaining 9.09% of the share of Joway Technology. As a result of the share acquisition, Joway Technology became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Joway Shengshi.

It engages in the distribution of Tourmaline Activated Water Machines, Tourmaline Wellness House for family use and Tourmaline Wellness House materials. Prior to July 9, 2010, Joway Shengshi owned 90% of Joway Decoration.

On September 16, 2010, prior to the share exchange, Junhe Consulting entered into a series of contractual agreements (the “Contractual Agreements”) with Joway Shengshi and Joway Shengshi’s owners. The following is a brief description of the Contractual Agreements entered into between Junhe Consulting and Joway Shengshi or Joway Shengshi’s owners

1. Consulting Services Agreement. Pursuant to the consulting services agreement between Junhe Consulting and Joway Shengshi, Junhe Consulting has the right to advise, consult, manage and operate Joway Shengshi, and collect and own all of the net profits of the Operating Entities.

2. Operating Agreement. Under the operating agreement between Junhe Consulting and Joway Shengshi, Junhe Consulting has the right to recommend director candidates and appoint the senior executives of Joway Shengshi, approve any transactions that may materially affect the assets, liabilities, rights or operations of Joway Shengshi, and guarantee the contractual performance by Joway Shengshi of any agreements with third parties, in exchange for a pledge by Joway Shengshi of its accounts receivable and assets.

3. Voting Rights Proxy Agreement. Under the voting rights proxy agreement between Joway Shengshi’s owners and Junhe Consulting, the owners of Joway Shengshi have vested their collective voting control over Joway Shengshi to Junhe Consulting and will only transfer their respective equity interests in Joway Shengshi to Junhe Consulting or its designee.

4. Option Agreement. Under the option agreement between Joway Shengshi’s owners and Junhe Consulting, the owners of Joway Shengshi have granted Junhe Consulting the irrevocable right and option to acquire all of their equity interests in Joway Shengshi.

5. Equity Pledge Agreement. Under the equity pledge agreement between Joway Shengshi’s owners and Junhe Consulting, the owners of Joway Shengshi have pledged all of their rights, titles and interests in Joway Shengshi to Junhe Consulting to guarantee Joway Shengshi’s performance of its obligations under the Consulting Services Agreement.

As a result of the Contractual Agreements, Joway Shengshi is effectively a variable interest entity of Junhe Consulting. Accordingly, the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary Junhe Consulting, consolidates Joway Shengshi’s results of operation, assets and liabilities in its financial statements.

In connection with the Share Exchange and as consideration for entering into the VIE Agreements the shareholders of Joway Shengshi, entered into a Call Option Agreement with the sole shareholder of Crystal Globe (the controlling shareholder of Dynamic Elite), pursuant to which the shareholders of Joway Shengshi have the right to purchase up to 100% of the shares of Crystal Globe at an aggregate price equal to $20,000 over the next three years. The Call Option vests as to 34% of the shares of Crystal Globe on April 2, 2011 and as to 33% on April 2 of 2012 and 2013. As a result, the shareholders of Joway Shengshi are now the indirect beneficial owners of the shares of the Company held by Crystal Globe.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The Company’s functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”); however, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars (“USD”). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to make the financial statements not misleading.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and the footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 which was filed on April 1, 2013.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Basis of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and controlled VIEs. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
 
Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, “Consolidation”, Joway Shengshi, as a VIE of Junhe Consulting, has been consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.

Other Comprehensive Income
 
Other comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during the period from transactions and other events, excluding the changes resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners, and is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit. Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the accumulated balance of foreign currency translation adjustments.
 
Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
The Company's operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC's economy. The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC, and no deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
Level 1—defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
Level 2—defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
 
Level 3—defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, other receivable, accounts payable, other payable, and amounts due from related parties generally approximate their fair market values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For financial reporting purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at any point during the period of the financial statements presented. Balances at financial institutions or state-owned banks within the PRC are not covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. On a periodic basis, the Company reviews the composition of the accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these allowances. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, based on a review of its outstanding balances, the Company allowance for doubtful accounts had a zero balance, respectively.

Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, as determined by the specific identification method on contract level (for each individual contract, inventories cost flow are determined by weighted-average method), or the net realizable value, which is determined on selling prices less any further costs expected to be incurred for completion and disposal. The Company regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine whether a valuation allowance is required. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, the Company has no reserves for inventories.
 
Advances to suppliers
 
Advances to suppliers represent the cash paid in advance for inventory items or construction in progress. The advance payments are meant to ensure preferential pricing and delivery. The amounts advanced under such arrangements totaled $376,995 and $276,953 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
 
Long-term Investments
 
Investments in which the Company has a 20% to 50% interest are accounted for by the equity method. Under the equity method the carrying value of the investment is adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share of the investee’s income or loss.
 
Investments in which the Company has less than a 20% interest are accounted for by the cost method. Under the cost method, investments are carried at cost and income is recorded when dividends are received from those investments.
 
Property, Plant, and Equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and include expenditures that substantially increase the useful lives of existing assets.
 
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
 
Building
20 years
Operating Equipment
10 years
Office furniture and equipment
3 or 5 years
Vehicles
10 years
 
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to expenses as incurred. Significant renewals and betterment to buildings and equipment are capitalized. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the useful life or the life of the lease.
 
Intangible assets
 
Intangible assets mainly consist of land use rights. All land located in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to any individual or company. The land use rights granted to the Company are being amortized using the straight-line method over the lease term of 50 years. Other intangible assets are software programs that are amortized over their estimated useful life of 10 years.
 
 
12

 
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed annually as to whether their carrying value has become impaired, pursuant to the guidelines established in FASB ASC 360. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from the related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation and amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. The Company did not record any impairment loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

With respect to sales of product to both franchisee and non-franchisee customers, the Company prepares product shipments upon the receipt of a customer’s purchase order. Sales prices are based on fixed price lists that are different depending on whether the price list is for a franchisee customer or for non-franchisee customers. The Company recognizes revenue when the product is shipped. The Company does not sell product to any customers with a right of return as defined in ASC 605-15-25-4. Sales are presented net of value added tax (VAT).

For Tourmaline Wellness House sales, the Company recognizes revenue under the completed contract method. Customers contact the Company with requests to construct a Wellness House. The Company and the customer enter into a contract, at which time the customer pays a deposit of at least one-half of the sales price. A contract is considered completed when all significant costs have been incurred and the project has been accepted by the customer. The contracts have a place for the customer to sign indicating their acceptance of the completed Wellness House. At this time the customer will also pay any remaining balance on the contract. The Company recognizes the full contract revenue at this point. Contract costs consist primarily of materials and labor costs. The construction period of a Wellness House generally does not exceed five days.
 
Shipping costs
 
Shipping costs are included in selling expenses and totaled $6,152 and $8,148 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $13,867 and $32,335 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law and associated legislations of the PRC. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes, which is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. ASC 740 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, of which the timing and amount are uncertain.
 
According to ASC 740, the evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition.

NOTE 11 - FRANCHISE REVENUES
 
The Company enters into franchising agreements to develop retail outlets for the Company's products. The agreements provide that franchisees will sell Company products exclusively at a predetermined retail price. In exchange the Company provides them with geographic exclusivity, discounted products, training and support. The agreements also require franchisees to adhere to certain standards of product merchandising, promotion and presentment. The agreements also prohibit franchisees from selling competitor’s products. The agreements do not require any initial franchise fees from the franchisees, nor do they require the franchisees to pay continuing royalties. The agreements do not require the franchisees to purchase any minimum levels of product, but do require that they make at least one purchase during each year. The Company does not act to manage the franchisees’ levels of product. Franchisees hold periodic conferences, assisted by the Company’s marketing department, to promote product awareness and the introduction of new products. The franchising agreements are generally for terms of three years and are renewable at the mutual agreement of both parties. The franchising agreements are cancelable at the Company’s discretion if franchisees violate the terms of the agreements.

Overview
 
General
 
We develop, manufacture, market, distribute, and sell products, including knit goods, daily healthcare and personal care products, and wellness house and activated water machine products, that are coated, embedded or filled with tourmaline. Most of our products, such as clothing, bedding, and mattresses are purchased as finished products which we then coat and/or infuse with liquid or granular tourmaline using one or more of our manufacturing techniques. We conduct all of our operations in Tianjin City, China and distribute most of our products to more than 200 franchisees in China. Our franchisees, in turn, sell the products to their customers. All of our revenues to date have been generated by sales to customers located in the PRC.
 
All of our operations are conducted through Joway Shengshi and its three subsidiaries, Joway Technology, Joway Decoration, and Shengtang Trading. Joway Shengshi engages in the manufacturing and distribution of tourmaline health-related products such as knit goods, and daily healthcare and personal care products. Joway Technology and Joway Decoration engage in the manufacturing and distribution of activated water machines and wellness houses. We utilize our Shengtang Trading subsidiary to purchase raw materials, which are then sold to Joway Shengshi and Joway Decoration.
 
Beginning in 2009, we began to develop a franchise network to distribute our healthcare knit goods, daily healthcare products and personal care products. Through these franchisees, we were able to significantly increase sales of our healthcare knit goods segment and daily healthcare and personal care segment. In 2010, we began distributing our wellness house and activated water machine products through our franchise network.
 
Description of Selected Income Statement Items
 
Revenues. We generate revenue from sales of our Healthcare Knit goods Series, Daily Healthcare and Personal Care Series and Wellness House and Activated Water Machine Series.
 
Cost of goods sold.  Cost of goods sold consists of costs directly attributable to production, including the cost of raw materials, salaries for staff engaged in production activity, electricity, depreciation, packing materials, and related expenses.
 
Operating expenses.  Our total operating expenses consist of sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and traveling expenses of our marketing department employees, transportation expenses, and advertising expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries of our administrative department employees, payroll taxes and benefits, general office expenses and depreciation. We expect administrative expenses to continue to increase as we incur expenses related to costs of compliance with U.S. securities laws and regulations, and our reporting obligations thereunder, including increased audit and legal fees and investor relations expenses.
 
Other (expense) income.  Our other (expense) income consists primarily of interest income, subsidy income, other revenue from sales of obsolete equipment and other expenses related to the tax penalty amounts requested by PRC tax authority after a review of our 2012 tax filings of corporate income and value added tax (VAT).
 
Income taxes.  According to the revised Enterprise Income Tax Law effective as of January 1, 2008, the income tax rate of our PRC subsidiaries is generally 25%. Joway Health Industries Group Inc. was established under the laws of the State of Nevada and is subject to U.S. federal income tax and Nevada annual reporting requirements. No provision for income taxes in the United States has been made as the Company has no income taxable in the United States. The Company’s PRC subsidiaries expect to use their retained earnings to support their PRC operations, and do not expect to declare any dividends within the foreseeable future.

For The Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to September 30, 2012
 
Revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, revenue was $389,863 compared to $294,959 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $94,904 or 32.2%. This increase was mainly due to the increase in revenue from wellness houses and activated water machines. In the third quarter of 2012, we suffered a sales downturn caused by our enhanced enforcement of the terms of our franchise agreements and policies in 2012 and the slowdown of the Chinese economy.  From the second quarter of 2013, our sales were starting to recover after the completion of the rectification work on our franchisees.
 
Revenue from healthcare knit goods segment increased by $26,977 or 36.9% to $100,023 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $73,046 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This increase was mainly due to $0.02 million of increase in sales of our mattress products. Our mattress products were our best-selling products for the three months ended September 30, 2013, and the sales of our mattress increased sharper in the recovery period after the sharp decrease in the downturn period, compared to other products.

Our daily healthcare and personal care products were less affected in the downturn and recovery periods because the sales in our new products of this segment promoted in 2012 offset the influence.
 
Revenue from wellness houses and activated water machines increased by $64,905 or 63.8% to $166,711 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $101,806 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This increase was mainly due to $0.04 million of increase in sales of wellness house for family use. From March of 2013, we gave our franchisees more discounts on our wellness house for family use products, which increased the sales.
 
Cost of Goods Sold. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, cost of goods sold was $146,114 compared to $107,285 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $38,829 or 36.2%.

Cost of goods sold for the daily healthcare and personal care segment increased to $40,211 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $31,416 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $8,795 or 28%.

This increase was mainly due to the increase in the cost of our wellness house for family use as a result of the increase in sales.
 
Gross profit. Our gross profit increased by $56,075 or 29.9% to $243,749 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $187,674 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This increase was mainly due to the increase in gross profit for healthcare knit goods segment and wellness houses and activated water machines segment.

The gross margins of healthcare knit goods segment increased from 65.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to 74% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increased output of our healthcare knit goods caused the lower cost rate and higher gross profit margin.
 
Gross profit of daily healthcare and personal care segment decreased by $5,773 or 6.5% to $82,918 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $88,691 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

The gross margin of daily healthcare and personal care segment decreased from 73.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to 67.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was mainly due to the decreased sales of our cosmetic products, which have higher gross profit margin.

This increase was mainly due to the increase in gross profit of wellness house for family use.

In our healthcare knit goods segment and wellness houses and activated water machines segment, most products are durable consumables which have three or more years of life cycle. Our franchisees’ demand for our products for the first half of 2013 may have been affected because of the large amount of our main products they purchased in the end of 2010. In addition, from the year of 2012, in order to concentrate on high-quality franchisees we strengthened the enforcement of the terms of our franchise agreements and policies after focusing mostly on increasing franchise stores in 2011. As a result, the number of our franchisees decreased compared to the number in 2012, which also caused a decrease in revenue.
 
Revenue from healthcare knit goods segment decreased by $412,632, or 67.4% to $199,915 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $612,547 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in sales of our mattress products.
 
Revenue from daily healthcare and personal care products decreased by $66,435 or 18.2% to $298,992 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $365,427 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This was primarily due to the decrease in sales of our cosmetic products.
 
Revenue from wellness houses and activated water machines decreased by $157,738 or 29.6% to $375,562 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $533,300 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in sales of Foot Sauna Bucket.
 
Cost of Goods Sold.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, cost of goods sold was $327,130 compared to $414,021 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $86,891, or 21%. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in sales.
 
Cost of goods sold for healthcare knit goods segment decreased to $54,804 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $147,992 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $93,188 or 63%. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the cost of our mattress products.

This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the cost of our cosmetic products.
 
Cost of goods sold for our wellness house and activated water machine segment increased to $174,118 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $166,348 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $7,770 or 4.7%. This increase was mainly due to the increase in the cost of our wellness houses for family use.

This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in gross profit for healthcare knit goods segment and wellness house and activated water machine segment. In addition, our gross margin decreased from 72.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to 62.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in gross profit for our mattress products. The gross margins of healthcare knit goods segment decreased from 75.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to 72.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The reduced output of our healthcare knit goods caused higher cost rate and lower gross profit margin.

This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in gross profit of our cosmetic products. Our gross margin of daily healthcare and personal care segment decreased from 72.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to 67.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in sales of our cosmetic products, which have higher gross margins.
 
Gross profit of the wellness house and activated water machine segments decreased by $165,508 or 45.1% to $201,444 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $366,952 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in sales of Foot Sauna Bucket. The gross margin of our wellness house and activated water machine segments decreased from 68.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to 53.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was mainly due to the more discount to our franchisees.
 
Operating expenses. Our total operating expenses consist of sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. Our total operating expenses decreased by $121,616, or 6.2%, from $1,960,187 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $1,838,571 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease of conference expenses and travel expenses. Operating expenses for healthcare knit goods segment decreased by $374,178 or 47.1% to $420,322 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $794,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Franchising
 
We enter into franchise agreements to develop retail outlets for our products. These agreements provide that franchisees will sell our products exclusively. In exchange, we provide them with geographic exclusivity, discounted products, training, and support. The agreements also require franchisees to adhere to certain standards of product merchandising, promotion, and presentment. The agreements do not require the franchisees to purchase any minimum levels of product, but do require that they make at least one purchase during each year. The agreements are generally for terms of three years and are renewable at the mutual agreement of both parties. The Agreements are cancelable at our discretion if franchisees violate the terms of the agreements.

The Company has sufficient liquidity from internal and external sources to meet the Company’s operating cash needs over the next 12 months even if Mr. Zhang and Shenyang Joway were to demand immediate repayment of the remaining balance under these loans and no longer wish to provide future loans to us.
 
STATUTORY RESERVES
 
Pursuant to the laws and regulations of the PRC, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are required to allocate a portion of their after-tax income to statutory reserves funds. The minimum statutory reserves allocation is 10% of after-tax income until the reserves reach 50% of the entities’ registered capital or members’ equity. The reserve funds are not transferable to the Company in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. Thus, the reserve funds are not available for distribution except in liquidation. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had allocated $354,052 to statutory reserves.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting policies which require management to make significant estimates and judgments. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the following reflect the more critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
28

 
 
Basis of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Joway Health, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and controlled VIEs. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810 “Consolidation,” Joway Shengshi, as a VIE of Junhe Consulting, have been consolidated in our financial statements. Joway Shengshi’s sales are included in our total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with ours, and our net income includes all of Joway Shengshi’s net income. Based on the various VIE Agreements, we are able to exercise control over the VIEs, and to obtain the full economic benefits. Accordingly, the non–controlling interests have no economic interest in the VIEs.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
 
With respect to sales of product to both franchisee and non-franchisee customers, we prepare product shipment upon the receipt of a customer’s purchase order. Sales prices are based on fixed price lists that are different depending on whether the price list is for franchisee customers or for non-franchisee customers. We recognize revenue when the product is shipped. We do not sell product to any customers with a right of return as defined in ASC 605-15-25-4. Sales are presented net of value added tax (VAT).
 
We recognize revenue on the sale of our wellness houses under the completed contract method. At the time when we enter into a contract with a customer to build a wellness house, the customer pays a deposit of at least one-half of the sales price. We consider the contract to be completed when all significant costs have been incurred and the customer accepts the project in writing by signing in the appropriate place on the contract. At this time the customer will also pay any remaining balance on the contract. We recognize the full contract revenue at this point. Contract costs consist primarily of materials and labor costs. The construction period of a wellness house generally does not exceed five days.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable are carried at net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. Management reviews the composition of the accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customers’ credit worthiness, current economic trends, and changes in customer’s payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, as determined by the specific identification method on contract level (for each individual contract, inventories cost flow is determined by weighted-average method), or the net realizable value, which is determined on selling prices less any further costs expected to be incurred for completion and disposal. Management regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine whether a valuation allowance is required.
 
Property, Plant, and Equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and include expenditures that substantially increase the useful lives of existing assets.
 
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
 
Building
20 years
Operating Equipment
10 years
Office furniture and equipment
3 or 5 years
Vehicles
10 years
 
 
29

 
 
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to expenses as incurred. Significant renewals and betterment to buildings and equipment are capitalized. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the useful life or the life of the lease.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
 We do not anticipate that the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Not applicable.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in SEC Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. The purpose of this evaluation is to determine if, as of Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively such that the information, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, based on the material weakness described below:
 
We did not have sufficient skilled accounting personnel that are either qualified as Certified Public Accountants in the U.S. or that have received education from U.S. institutions or other educational programs that would provide enough relevant education relating to U.S. GAAP. The Company’s CFO and Financial Manager have worked for U.S. listed companies but have limited experience with U.S. GAAP and are not U.S. Certified Public Accountants. Further, our operating subsidiaries are based in China, and in accordance with PRC laws and regulations, are required to comply with PRC GAAP, rather than U.S. GAAP. Thus, the accounting skills and understanding necessary to fulfill the requirements of U.S. GAAP-based reporting, including the preparation of financial statements and consolidation, are inadequate, and determined to be a material weakness.
 
Remediation Initiative
 
 
 
We have started a training program in the principles and rules of U.S. GAAP, SEC reporting requirements and the application thereof. The program is provided by an independent training institution, for our finance and accounting personnel, including our Chief Financial Officer, Financial Manager and others.
 
 
 
We are in the process of designing a program to provide ongoing company-wide training regarding the Company’s internal controls, with particular emphasis on our finance and accounting staff.
       
 
 
We have implemented an internal review process over financial reporting to review all recent accounting pronouncements and to verify that the accounting treatment identified in such report have been fully implemented and confirmed by our internal control department.
 
 
 
In 2011 we established the position of internal audit manager. In September 2011, we hired an internal audit manager who implemented an internal review process over financial reporting to review all recent accounting pronouncements and to verify that the accounting treatments identified in such report have been fully implemented and confirmed by our internal control department. We are seeking a potential candidate who has sufficient experience in internal control and audit to fill the position vacated in July 2012 by the internal audit manager. As an alternative, we also consider hiring an external professional organization to undertake the work.
 
 
30

 
 
We believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the significant deficiencies identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
