FORM 10 DISCLOSURES

As disclosed elsewhere in this report, on April 19, 2013, Havana Furnishings, Inc. (the "Company", or "HVFI" acquired NuZee Co., Ltd. ("NuZee") for stock. Item 2.01(f) of Form 8-K states that: if the registrant was a shell company, as we were immediately before the acquisition transaction disclosed under Item 2.01, then the registrant must disclose the information that would be required if the registrant were filing a general form for registration of securities on Form 10.

Accordingly, we are providing below the information that would be included in a Form 10, if we were to file a Form 10.  Please note that the information provided below relates to the combined enterprises after the acquisition of NuZee.

ITEM 1.01           ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On April 19, 2013, Havana Furnishings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company") entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement") with NuZee Co., Ltd., a California corporation ("NuZee"), and the NuZee shareholders (the "NuZee Shareholders"). Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, we agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of NuZee's common stock in exchange for the issuance by our Company of 33,733,333 shares of our common stock to the NuZee Shareholders.  As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, NuZee became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company now carries on the business of NuZee as its primary business.  The Share Exchange Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and conditions to closing.  The closing of the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Closing”) occurred on April 19, 2013 (the “Closing Date”).

As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement:

(a)each outstanding NuZee Share was cancelled, extinguished and converted into and became the right to receive a pro rata portion of Company Shares which equaled the number of NuZee Shares held by each NuZee Shareholder multiplied by the exchange ratio of 1:1 (the “Exchange Ratio”), rounded, if necessary, up to the nearest whole share.  Based on the Exchange Ratio, as a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, the NuZee Shareholders own a total of 33,733,333 restricted shares of common stock of the Company.

(b)Haisam Hamie irrevocably cancelled a total of 4,000,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company.

A description of the specific terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement is set forth in the Share Exchange Agreement filed herewith as Exhibit 2.01.

ITEM 2.01          COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

THE MERGER

The information provided in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K related to the aforementioned Share Exchange Agreement is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, (i) our principal business became the business of NuZee; and (ii) NuZee became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  As the NuZee Shareholders obtained the majority of the outstanding shares of the Company through the acquisition, the acquisition is accounted for as a reverse merger or recapitalization of the Company.  As such, NuZee is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes.

As of the date of the Share Exchange Agreement, there were no material relationships between the Company and NuZee or between the Company and any of NuZee’s respective affiliates, directors, or officers, or associates thereof, other than in respect of the Share Exchange Agreement.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

As used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, all references to “we”, “our” and “us” for periods prior to the closing of the Exchange refer to NuZee Co., Ltd. as a privately owned company, and for periods subsequent to the closing of the Exchange, refer to the Company and its subsidiaries (including NuZee).

HISTORY

NuZee Co. Ltd. was incorporated in the State of California in November, 2011 and is headquartered in San Diego, California.  NuZee was started by its Chairman Mr. Masa Higashida, after the devastating tsunami that hit Japan in March 2011.  At the time, Mr. Higashida’s singular goal was to provide safe bottled drinking water to help in the recovery effort. That humanitarian effort led to the establishment and launch of NuZee.

Since its inception, NuZee has engaged in the importation and distribution of bottled spring water from New Zealand.  On September 17, 2012, NuZee purchased all rights to the proprietary formula for an energy drink from its creator, Travis Gorney of Point Blank Beverage, Inc.  NuZee currently produces and markets its energy drink under the name "Torque."   In addition, NuZee is exploring the importation and distribution of a line of natural skincare products.  NuZee is expanding its operations across the United States by delivering products that fit one or more of the following product categories: “Protection”, “Performance”, and “Pristine.”  The mission of NuZee is to produce and/or market products in these three product categories that satisfy the needs of consumers who demand high quality products with natural and organically sourced ingredients packaged for convenience and “on-the-go” use.

As described above, on April 19, 2013, NuZee entered into the Share Exchange Agreement with Havana Furnishings, Inc. "Havana") whereby NuZee became a wholly owned subsidiary of Havana.  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, Havana has Filed Amended Articles of Incorporation to change its name to NuZee, Inc.  The Amended Articles shall become effective on May 2, 2013.

PRODUCTS

NuZee's focus is in three product categories: “Protection”, “Performance”, and “Pristine.”

5

 

Performance Category - Energy Drinks

In 2012, NuZee purchased all rights to a proprietary formulation for the energy supplement drink it markets under the name "Torque."   The Company’s Torque product has launched in select markets and is being tested using a variety of consumer promotions to gain shelf-space in retail distribution.  The Company plans to expand the product line to include new flavors and derivatives to address unmet market demand.

NuZee plans to distribute its performance products through a traditional two-step distribution channel of wholesalers and distributors to retailers.  The Company is building out a national footprint of stores with plans to eventually have more than 50,000 store-fronts operational using a combination of convenience, grocery, and mass merchant chains.

The Energy Supplement product category, which falls into the NuZee Performance Category, is enjoying sustainable growth for existing and new entrants.  The U.S. energy supplement market surpassed $1 Billion in Sales in 2011 (Source:  Forbes, 2012)  and is growing at or above the  beverage industry average growth rate according to independent research by Nielsen. 

The market is currently dominated by Living Essentials, LLC who distributes and markets 5-Hour Energy® with more than 90 percent market share followed by a handful of smaller companies.   Management believes that if it executes on its product and distribution plans it can solidify a meaningful market share percentage in categories not presently addressed by current competition.

NuZee maintains an efficient cost structure by employing contract manufacturers to source its proprietary formulated performance products allowing for flexible scale and growth.  NuZee’s primary suppliers include multiple bottlers, ingredient suppliers, and co-packers located across the United States.   In exchange for developing our proprietary energy blend NuZee has entered into a verbal agreement to purchase its raw materials from one of its beverage architect for a period of three (3) years.

Our current and primary suppliers for our Energy/Performance Products are:

·Flavorman (www.flavorman.com) is our "beverage architect" and provides our raw ingredients and formulation science

·Arizona Production and Packaging (www.azpack.com) is our co-packer

·Amcor Landsberg (www.landsberg.com) is our bottle and packaging supplier

As the energy related product line evolves NuZee plans to monitor and respond to any US FDA or individual state licensing authorities to maintain compliance regarding energy related food and beverage regulations.  As the company is currently in the development stage, our energy products did not contribute significantly to our revenues in FY 2012.  However, management believes that the energy products will become the dominate revenue producing product line on moving forward.

NuZee’s acquisition of Point Blank Beverage’s intellectual and proprietary property assisted the Company in acquiring an energy shot and beverage formula foundation that minimized its required capital investment and shorten its development time to market.  The Company expects to continue to invest in new derivative formulas through a partnership with its energy beverage architects.  The Company plans to recover its development cost over the product life cycle.  This approach to new product development will be applied to a new innovative line of energy based creamer supplement products called Coffee Blenders^TM.

6

 

NuZee will continue to monitor the social and public perception as well as the government compliance regulations associated with the energy product market.  To date, there are no specific FDA regulations or certification regarding the manufacturing and distribution of energy shots as they are currently classified as dietary supplements; as such the Company will continue comply with the general labeling regulations regarding dietary supplements.  For more information, see "Government Regulations" below.

Protection Category - Organic Skin Care

For NuZee, the Protection Category includes NuZee's skin care related products.  Both the NuZee Natural and NuZee Organic product lines are made in New Zealand and produced under strict oversight and requirements to comply with BioGro Certified Organic and the USDA Organic guidelines. 

Our Natural Skin Care line contains up to 98.6% all natural ingredients, and contains no synthetic color, ethyl alcohol, silicon oil or added paraben preservatives.   Our Organic Skin Care line contains up to 100% certified organic natural ingredients and contains no synthetic oils, added paraben preservatives, artificial fragrances, colors or Peg Emulsifiers.

The NuZee Natural and Organic Skin Care product lines are produced by CNS Laboratories New Zealand Ltd., using a proprietary formula exclusive to our distribution partner iSpring. All of our skin care products are purchased through iSpring, a New Zealand company owned by one of our Directors, Masa Higashida. iSpring has authorized NuZee to market the skin care products for North America distribution and private label opportunities globally.   .

In 2011, the organic skin care market in the United States surpassed more than $1.7 billion in annual sales and the entire category is growing at a rate of greater than 10% year over year, with projected sales at $5.8 Billion in 2016 (Source:  Kline Group, 2012)   NuZee is evaluating the market opportunity for the Skin Care business and plans to employ a strategy of working with established brands for custom private label programs rather than building a new brand in the United States. 

While the Company is currently in development stage, the revenues associated with our skin care product sales did not contribute to revenues in 2012.

Pristine Category – Bottled Water

 

The Company is proud of the source and origin of its NuZee artesian and sparkling water.  NuZee water is pure New Zealand spring water sourced from an unground Blue Spring that is revered for its minerality properties, clarity, and blue hues.  The water that flows from the Blue Spring is just to the east of Putaruru in the North Island of New Zealand and is rich in Silica (76g/Liter) a mineral that is prized for its health benefits.  The Plateau gathers rain that fell over 100 years ago which makes its way underground into layered aquifers within fractured rock and volcanic sand aquifers.  The water gushes out of the spring into the Waihou River at a rate of 42 cubic meters per minute (9,240 gallons per minute) and is a constant 11 degrees Celsius (51.8 degrees Fahrenheit) all year. 

7

 

The entire area is protected and cared for and the Blue Spring is recognized as one of the purest water acquirers in the world with a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) measured at 129 ppm parts per million. For example, filtered and treated tap water averages 200-400 ppm (US EPA Maximum Level is 500 ppm).   Source:   New Zealand Department of Conservation (http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/tracks-and-walks/bay-of-plenty/rotorua-lakes/te-waihou-walkway/); Hamilton & Waikato Tourism (http://www.hamiltonwaikato.com/things-to-do/articles/walking-hiking-biking/blue-spring-te-waihou-walkway); Putaruru Visitor Information (http://www.putaruru.co.nz/Things-to-Do/Walks).

NuZee is the exclusive U.S. distributor for NuZee bottled spring water, which is bottled in New Zealand and shipped to our distribution center in California.  Currently all bottled water products are purchased through iSpring, a New Zealand company owned by one of our Directors, Masa Higashida.   NuZee plans to work directly with its bottlers to improve efficiency and stream line processes whereby iSpring will source from NuZee. The NuZee Pristine products are currently in market trials to measure sell-through and fine-tune the business model.   Presently the Company plans to focus its water business sales to private label partners whereby only contracting with established brands that already have distribution and marketing capabilities as the cost of a new water entrant is capital intensive. The Company is pursuing a host of strategic partnerships with US based beverage firms that may materialize over the course of 2013.  

Through NuZee’s New Zealand water source/bottler partnership we are able to achieve license and certification with local and state government agencies.  The Company plans to continue to support its iSpring distribution partnership whereby iSpring utilitizes NuZee branding for its products sold throughout Asia with primary focus on Japan and South Korea.

While the Company is currently in development stage, the revenues associated with our bottled water product sales accounted for 86% of our revenue in 2012.

Government Regulations

The Company is complying with general regulations such as the product packaging and labeling requirements established by the FDA regarding our energy, water and skin care product lines. Notably, we have retained GreenbergTraurig a firm that specializes in regulatory and business practices in the food, cosmetic and dietary supplement industries to ensure compliance with statutes and regulations enforced by the Food and Drug Administration.  Specifically the Company is following the mandatory guidelines for Statement of Identity (Pursuant to 21 CFR 101.3), Class of Filing, Product Display Panel, Net Quantity of Contents Statement (NQCS), Supplement Disclaimer, Product Functional Claims among others. 

FDA Regulation — Dietary Supplements

The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, or DSHEA, amended the FDCA by establishing regulatory standards with respect to dietary supplements, and defining dietary supplements as a new category of food. Dietary supplements include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, nutritional supplements, herbs and botanicals intended for ingestion that are labeled as dietary supplements and are not represented for use as a conventional food or as a sole item of a meal or the diet. Under DSHEA, a firm that manufactures or distributes dietary supplements must determine that such products are safe and that any representations or claims made about the products are substantiated by adequate evidence to show that the claims are not false or misleading.

8

 

DSHEA does not require manufacturers or distributors to seek approval from the FDA before producing or selling a dietary supplement unless the supplement contains one or more ingredients that are considered to be a “new dietary ingredient.” A “new dietary ingredient” is one that was not marketed in the United States before October 15, 1994. The manufacturer or distributor of a dietary supplement that contains a “new dietary ingredient” must provide the FDA with information, including any citations to published articles, demonstrating why the ingredient is reasonably expected to be safe for use in a dietary supplement at least 75 days before the dietary supplement is introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce. This requirement does not apply if the ingredient has been recognized as a food substance and is present in the food supply.

FDA regulations also require that certain information appear on dietary supplement labels, including the name of the dietary supplement, the amount of the dietary supplement, nutrition labeling, a complete list of ingredients and the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer or distributor.

The manufacturer, packer, or distributor of a dietary supplement must submit to the FDA any report it receives of a serious adverse event associated with the dietary supplement when used in the United States, accompanied by a copy of the label of the dietary supplement, no later than 15 business days after the report is received. A “serious adverse event” is an adverse event that results in death, a life-threatening experience, inpatient hospitalization, a persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or requires, based on a reasonable medical judgment, medical or surgical intervention to prevent such outcomes.

The FDA may take action to restrict use of a dietary supplement or to remove it from the marketplace if the agency believes the supplement presents a significant or unreasonable risk of illness or injury under conditions of use suggested in the labeling or under ordinary conditions of use. Under DSHEA, the FDA bears the burden of proof to show that a dietary supplement presents a significant or unreasonable risk of illness or injury. The FDA also may take enforcement action against a dietary supplement manufacturer or distributor for unlawful promotion of a dietary supplement, such as making claims that a supplement treats, prevents or cures a specific disease or condition. These claims would subject the dietary supplement to regulation as a drug product. If dietary supplements do not meet applicable requirements, the manufacturer may need to undertake a voluntary recall.

FDA Regulation — Skincare

Our cosmetic products are regulated for safety by the FDA, which requires that ingredients meet industry standards for non-allergenicity and non-toxicity. Performance claims for cosmetics may not be "therapeutic."

FDA Regulation — Bottled Water

The FDA regulates bottled waters as a food.  Our bottled water product must meet FDA requirements of safety for human consumption, labeling, processing, and distribution under sanitary conditions and production in accordance with the FDA "good manufacturing practices."  In addition, all drinking water products must meet Environmental Protection Agency standards established under the Safe Drinking Water Act for mineral and chemical concentration and drinking water quality and treatment which are enforced by the FDA. We also must meet state regulations in a variety of areas. These regulations set standards for approved water sources and the information that must be provided and the basis on which any therapeutic claims for water may be made.

Patents and Trademarks

NuZee has entered into an agreement to purchase TORQ ® and TORQ WRENCH^TM trademarks in the United States from the HydroPouch Corporation.  In addition, NuZee has received trademark registration for the TORQUE mark in New Zealand. Separately, NuZee has filed for trademark registration for Coffee Blenders^TM in preparation for a new derivative line of products.   A copy of the Trademark Purchase and License Agreement between NuZee Co., Ltd. And HydroPouch Corporation is attached as Exhibit 10.3.

Employees

We currently employ five (5) full-time employees with four (4) employees based in San Diego and one remote satellite employee.

RISK FACTORS

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY

We Will Be Reorganized as a Start Up Company

Havana Furnishings, Inc. is reorganizing to engage in a new and different business.  If successful, of which there is no assurance, the newly reorganized business, will still be deemed to be a start-up company that has generated a limited amount of revenue its inception. We expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to validate and market products in the future that will generate revenues or that any revenues generated will be sufficient for us to become profitable or thereafter maintain profitability.

We Have Limited Operating History Upon Which to Evaluate Our Potential for Future Success.

The Company has only a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of its business and prospects.  In addition, the Company’s revenue model is evolving and relies substantially on the assumption that the Company will be able to successfully complete development of and sell its products and services in the marketplace.  The Company’s prospect must be considered in light of the risk, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the earliest stages of development.  To be successful in the market, the Company must among other things:

·Complete development of and introduce functional and attractive product offerings;

·Attract and maintain distribution partners and their commitments;

·Establish and increase awareness of the Company’s brand and develop customer loyalty;

10

 

·Provide desirable products and services to customers at attractive prices;

·Establish and maintain relationships with manufacturing, sourcing and logistics partners and affiliates;

·Rapidly respond to regulatory and  governmental requirements;

·Be in compliance with changing FDA regulations;

·Maintain cross boarder commerce and distribution operations;

·Be in compliance with changes in import and export regulations, taxes and tariffs;

·Build operations and customer service structure to support the Company’s business; and

·Attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel.

The Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to achieve these goals and is failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.  Moreover, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding when the Company’s financial resources are exhausted.  The Company expects that its revenues and operating results will fluctuate in the future.  There can  be no assurance that any or all of the Company’s efforts will be successful. 

Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Has Expressed Substantial Doubt About Our Ability To Continue As A Going Concern.

Working capital at March 31, 2013 was of $14,660 and have recognized net loss of $730,458 for the cumulative period from November 9, 2011(inception) to March 31, 2013.  Although the Company has a revenue stream, it has only be operational for less than one year and has no historical operations to base our anticipated future cash flows. The future of our Company is dependent upon future profitable operations from the sales of our media. Our management will need to seek additional financing in the future in order to expand our operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our company's ability to continue as a going concern. Although there are no assurances that our plans will be realized, our management believes that we will be able to continue operations in the future.

Based on our current monthly expenses and product revenue contributions we forecast the business will only be able to sustain its current operating structure for  90-120 days without additional working capital.

Our Success is Dependent on Collaborative Arrangements.

The development and commercialization of the Company’s products and services depends in large part upon the Company’s ability to selectively enter into and maintain collaborative arrangements with manufacturers, distributors, partners, providers, etc.

Because we do not have written agreements with our beverage architect, we may be unable to effectively manufacture and distribute our products or distribute them at all, which would adversely affect our reputation and materially reduce our revenues.

We do not own or operate any manufacturing facilities.  Rather, we have an agreement with our beverage architect to formulate and manufacture our energy products.  Our agreement with our beverage architect has not yet been reduced to writing.  Because we do not have any written agreements in place, our beverage architect could refuse to supply some or all of our products, reduce the number of products that they supply or change the terms and prices under which they normally supply our products.  The occurrence of any such conditions will have a materially negative effect upon our reputation and our ability to distribute our products, which will cause a material reduction in our revenues.

11

 

Need of Additional Financing; Limited Resources. 

The Company’s financial resources are limited and the amount of funding that it will require developing and commercializing its products and technologies is highly uncertain.  Adequate funds may not be available when needed or on term satisfactory to the Company.  Lack of funds may cause the Company to delay, reduce and/or abandon certain or all aspects of its research and development programs. 

Early to Market Challenge is Critical.

The success of the Company is dependent on its ability to quickly get to market and establish an early mover advantage.  The Company must implement an aggressive sales and marketing campaign to solicit customers and strategic partners.  Any delay could seriously affect its ability to establish and exploit effectively its early-to-market-strategy.

We face intense competition within the premium bottled water market as well as from other beverage and energy supplement providers. If we are unable to compete effectively, our business could be harmed.

The premium bottled water market is highly competitive.  Our products currently represent less than 1% of this market.  Many of our competitors have greater financial, marketing and other resources than we currently do, and therefore may be able to devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products, generate national brand recognition or adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we can, which would put us at a competitive disadvantage.  Our competitors have products that have already gained wide customer acceptance in the marketplace and preferred shelf space at retail locations. 

Our products also compete with less expensive, non-premium bottled water products offered by major beverage bottling companies.  If consumers purchasing premium water switch to these non-premium alternatives, or other non-premium water alternatives such as residential countertop filtration systems, our business would be harmed.  If we are unable to meet the competition faced by our industry, our competitive position and our business could suffer.

Increases in transportation costs would reduce profit margins, negatively impacting profitability.

We deliver our bottled water products to retailors through a third party transportation provider on a delivered price basis. If the price of fuel increases, freight costs will increase. As a result, our freight cost is directly impacted by changes in fuel prices. Increases in fuel prices and surcharges and other factors have increased freight costs and may continue to increase freight costs in the future. The inflationary pressure of higher fuel costs and continued increases in transportation-related costs could have a material adverse effect on our profit margins and profitability.

The source of water for our business is a natural spring in New Zealand and any disruption in the flow of this spring, including exhaustion of the aquifers from which they flow, would have an adverse impact on our ability to operate.

All of our bottled water products originate from a natural spring in New Zealand. In the event there are geological shifts or other changes, natural or otherwise, that affect the flow of the spring, our ability to satisfy future customer demand and to meet our prior obligations for bottled water would be adversely affected, which would in turn adversely impact our business and results of operations. The deep aquifers from which our water springs are limited resources, and while we believe our water supply from these aquifers are more than sufficient to support our operations and any anticipated expansion thereof, we could at some point in the future experience water flow levels too low to make it economically feasible to collect, bottle and distribute our bottled water products.

12

 

We Have Not Yet Formed Any Strategic Partnerships or Agreements For Custom Private Labeling

As described above, we are pursuing a host of strategic partnerships for our Organic Skin Care and plan to employ a strategy of working iwth established brands for custom private label programs.  At this time, we are evaluating opportunities in these areas, and do not have any formal agreements with any established brands or other third parties.  If we are unsuccessful at establishing strategic partnerships and/or contracting with established brands for private labeling, our business will not expand as anticipated.

Risks Relating to Regulatory and Legal Issues

The bottled water industry is regulated at both the state and federal level.  If we are unable to continue to comply with applicable regulations and standards in any jurisdiction, we might not be able to sell our products in that jurisdiction, and our business could be seriously harmed.

The United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") regulates bottled water as a food.  Our bottled water must meet FDA requirements of safety for human consumption, labeling, processing and distribution under sanitary conditions and production in accordance with FDA "good manufacturing practices."  In addition, all drinking water must meet Environmental Protection Agency standards established under the Safe Drinking Water Act for mineral and chemical concentration and drinking water quality and treatment, which are enforced by the FDA. 

We also must meet state regulations in a variety of areas.  These regulations set standards for approved water sources and the information that must be provided and the basis on which any therapeutic claims for water may be made.  Failure to comply with such laws and regulations could result in fines against us, or, even in the absence of governmental action, loss of revenue as a result of adverse market reaction to negative publicity.  Any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business. We cannot

assure you that we have been or will at all times be in compliance with all regulatory requirements or that we will not incur material costs or liabilities in connection with regulatory requirements.

Our Officers and Directors Own a Majority of Our Outstanding Common Stock.   Investors May Find That Corporate Decisions Influenced By Our Directors Are Inconsistent With The Best Interests Of Other Stockholders

Our officers and directors currently own a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock.  Accordingly, they have power in deciding every aspect of our business, including the power to elect members of our Board of Directors.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK

Risks Relating to Low Priced Stocks

Although the Company's Common Stock is approved for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, there has only been little if any trading activity in the stock. Accordingly, there is no history on which to estimate the future trading price range of the Common Stock. If the Common Stock trades below $5.00 per share, trading in the Common Stock will be subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock (generally, any non-FINRA equity security that has a market price share of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions). Such rules require the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally defined as an investor with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually or $300,000 together with a spouse). For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Such information must be provided to the customer orally or in writing before or with the written confirmation of trade sent to the customer. Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in the Common Stock which could severely limit the market liquidity of the Common Stock and the ability of holders of the Common Stock to sell it.

The Market Price of Our Common Stock is Volatile, Leading to the Possibility of its Value Being Depressed at a Time When Shareholder May Want to Sell Their Holdings.

The market price of our common stock can become volatile. Numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate significantly. These factors include:
   

·our earnings releases, actual or anticipated changes in our earnings, fluctuations in our operating results or our failure to meet the expectations of financial market analysts and investors; 

·changes in financial estimates by us or by any securities analysts who might cover our stock;

·speculation about our business in the press or the investment community; 

·significant developments relating to our relationships with our consultants and out-sourced contracting companies which will be utilized for most of exploration services; 

·stock market price and volume fluctuations of other publicly traded companies customer demand for our products; 

·investor perceptions of the entertainment industry in general and our Company in particular; 

·the operating and stock performance of comparable companies; 

·general economic conditions and trends; 

·announcements by us or our competitors of new products, significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or divestitures; 

·changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretation or principles; 

·loss of external funding sources; 

·sales of our common stock, including sales by our directors, officers or significant stockholders; and 

·additions or departures of key personnel.

Securities class action litigation is often instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. Should this type of litigation be instituted against us, it could result in substantial costs to us and divert our management's attention and resources.

Moreover, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock and other interests in our Company at a time when you want to sell your interest in us.

Because We Were a "Shell Company" Certain Investors in Our Company Will Not Be Able to Utilize Rule 144 to Sell Their Shares Until at Least One Year After We Cease To Be a Shell Company.

The Shares issued to investors in the Company cannot be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act until one year after the Company ceases to be a shell company. In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned restricted securities shares for at least six months, including persons who may be deemed "affiliates" of the Company, as that term is defined under the Securities Act, would be entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares or the average weekly trading volume of shares during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner-of-sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about the Company. A person who has not been an affiliate of the Company at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned his shares for at least one year, would be entitled under Rule 144 to sell such shares without regard to any volume limitations under Rule 144.

Havana Furnishings, Inc. was a shell company prior to filing this periodic report on Form 8-K and therefore a majority of its shareholders may not currently utilize Rule 144 to sell their shares. Rule 144 is not available for sales of shares of companies that are or have been "shell companies" except under certain conditions.  The Company  completed an acquisition and has removed its status as a shell company by filing this report on Form 8-K. Shareholders are able to utilize Rule 144 one year after the filing of this Form 8-K, assuming it files the documents it is required to file as a reporting company. Investors in the Company whose shares were registered in a registration statement will be able to sell their shares pursuant to said registration statement.

Potential Issuance of Additional Common and Preferred Stock.

The Company will be authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock. To the extent of such authorization, the board of directors of the Company will have the ability, without seeking stockholder approval, to issue additional shares of Common Stock in the future for such consideration as the board of directors may consider sufficient. The issuance of additional Common Stock in the future will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of the Common Stock offered hereby. The Company will also be authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, the rights and preferences of which may be designated in series by the board of directors. To the extent of such authorization, such designations may be made without stockholder approval. The designation and issuance of series of preferred stock in the future would create additional securities which would have dividend and liquidation preferences over the Common Stock offered hereby. In addition, the ability to issue any future class or series of preferred stock could impede a non-negotiated change in control and thereby prevent stockholders from obtaining a premium for their Common Stock. See "Description of Securities."

No Assurance of a Liquid Public Market For Securities.

Although the Company's shares of Common Stock are currently eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, there has been no  trading of our stock. There has been no long term established public trading market for the Common Stock hereto, and there can be no assurance that a regular and established market will be developed and maintained for the securities. There can also be no assurance as to the depth or liquidity of any market for the Common Stock or the prices at which holders may be able to sell the shares.

15

 

We Do Not Expect to Pay Dividends in the Foreseeable Future.

We do not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will reinvest any future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, investors will not receive any funds unless they sell their common stock, and stockholders may be unable to sell their shares on favorable terms or at all. Investors cannot be assured of a positive return on investment or that they will not lose the entire amount of their investment in our common stock.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

The following plan of operation provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition.  The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto.  This section includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance.  Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events.  You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.

Plan of Operations

Short Term Goals (12 Months)

Over the next 12 months, the Company’s growth plans include continuing efforts to:

·Build a network for our products by signing the top 3-5 distributors serving our retail segments;

·Increase points of retail product availability to number in the thousands of locations;

·Establish the NuZee brand as a leader in natural and organic Performance, Protective and Pristine products and supplements.

We also plan to hire seasoned sales and marketing professionals with working knowledge of the US channels that we wish to distribute and market our product within.  We have already started developing working relationships with key global and national brands in the beverage industry who would are interested in partnering on both a product and distribution level.  While these discussions are preliminary they provide alternate methods to launch products in the US.  

In order to build distribution the Company is first determining the total distribution launch cost among the potential channels as each has their own upfront and recurring cost structure.  Under investigation are the following company directed channels:

16

 

-Mass/Drug

-Grocery

-Convenience

-Sports/Specialty

-Military

-e-commerce

-Club/Other

-Discount/Liquidation

Each of the above is compared using a host of costing parameters not limited to the following: product slotting fees, overall margin requirements, market development fees, return/warranty allowances, broadcast advertising and promotional marketing plans, in-store and channel detailing, product sampling and customer demoing as well as transportation and logistics cost, cross dock fees, shelf-life expiration swaps, and initial and recurring inventory loading levels. 

In conjunction with the above channel assessment, the Company is also exploring custom and private labeling whereby the company licenses the product formulation, trademarks, and other assets in two ways:

1.       Retail Chains – for example manufacturer on behalf of Wal-Mart for product extensions of their Great Value and Equate private brands. 

2.       Product Brands – for example license to Maxwell House the Coffee Blender product as a new product line served through their existing and established distribution. 

The Company plans going forward include the following milestones:

Milestone	Timing	Est. Cost/Funding Source
1.Finalize Products & Pricing	April – June	$25,000 Sell of Equities
2.Hire Key Staff	May – July	$15,000/Mth Recurring Sell of Equities
3.Launch Market and Promotion Plan	June – Ongoing	$250,000-$500,000 Annually Sell of Equities + Product Contribution
4.Explore OEM/Private Label Opportunities	June – Ongoing	n/a
5.OEM Private Launch	TBD	TBD

If we are unable to receive funding our plans will be dramatically and negatively impacted such that we will prioritize go to market strategies based on reduced operations and available capital.    

17

 

Long Term Goals (Five Years)

The Company believes that there will be significant expansion opportunities in existing markets through new products as well as in new regions outside of the United States in a combination of market development and product licensing.

The Company believes that our limited resources may pose a challenge to our expansion goals and therefore anticipates that it may require additional capital in future years to fund expansion. There can be no assurance that our expansion strategy will be accretive to our earnings within a reasonable period of time. However, the Company believes that it can improve its operational efficiencies and reduce the need for new capital by carefully managing the business based on the following economic fundamentals within accretive margin and cost contribution modeling.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Results of Operations

From inception on November 9, 2011 through December 31, 2012, we have accumulated losses of $604,573  We are presently in the start-up phase of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will be able to attain profitability.

From inception through December 31, 2012, we earned revenues of $36,825 from sales of our products and incurred operating expenses in the amount of $198,078.  These operating expenses included the research and the preparation of our business plan in addition to general and administrative expenses.  We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we further undertake our plan of operations. 

The increase will be attributed to costs associated with production, storage and delivery of our products as well as research and development of new products.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2012 we had cash (operating capital) of $13,508.  We have not attained profitable operations since inception.  We are relying on sales of our products to cover our costs over the next 12 months.  For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.  Based on our current monthly expenses and product revenue contributions we forecast the business will only be able to sustain its current operating structure for  90-120 days without additional working capital.

Our directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our board of directors. Our board of directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on our behalf other than services ordinarily required of a director.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards

We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

THE COMPANY

As of January 31, 2013, the Company received advances from its sole officer and director in the amount of $22,015 to pay for general operating expenses. The amounts due to the related party are unsecured and non-interest bearing with no set terms of repayment. As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement with the Company described above under Item 1.01 of this Report, the amounts owed to the Director were forgiven.

NUZEE

During the period from November 9, 2011 (inception) through September 30, 2012, NuZee purchased $10,454 of skin care products, for resale, from iSpring, which is a separate entity controlled by  NuZee’s majority shareholder and Director, Mr. Masa Higashida.   We operate with iSpring on a commercial level using purchase orders for our products.  We use verbal instructions and standard payment procedures for most orders of 50% payment upon order and 50% payment upon receipt based on CIF shipping.     Those items are included in inventory at September 30, 2012. 

NuZee has received advances, from its majority shareholder and Director, Masa Higashida, totaling, $150,014, due on demand, which are included with other liabilities on the Balance Sheet for the period ending September 30, 2012.  There are no other loan terms, and no formal contract or agreement.

During the period from October 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012, NuZee made a deposit of $139,661 towards the purchase of skin care products, for resale, from an entity controlled by NuZee’s majority shareholder.  Subsequent to this commitment, NuZee decided to focus a greater portion of its sales and marketing efforts on the energy drink market.  NuZee continues to explore the U.S. market opportunity for natural and organic skin care products based on our pricing, distribution and formulation.  However, considering the volatility and price sensitivity of the market, we  have provided a loss contingency against this deposit of $139,661 which is included in the cost of goods sold for the three months ending December 31, 2012. 

25

 

With regard to any future related party transaction, we plan to fully disclose any and all related party transactions in the following manner:

·           Disclosing such transactions in reports where required;

·           Disclosing in any and all filings with the SEC, where required;

·           Obtaining disinterested directors consent; and

·           Obtaining shareholder consent where required.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

We are not currently a “listed company” under SEC rules and are therefore not required to have a Board comprised of a majority of independent directors or separate committees comprised of independent directors. We consider Fernando Corona and Arata Matsushima independent directors as the term “independent” is defined by the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market.

REVIEW, APPROVAL OR RATIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item. 

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings.  Our agent for service of process in Nevada is National Registered Agents, Inc. of NV.

The Securities Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities' laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation.

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement.

We are subject to the penny stock rules, and disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock and stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.

Holders of Our Common Stock

As of April 22, 2013, as a result of the Share Exchange, we had 46 shareholders of record.

Stock Option Grants

To date, we have not granted any stock options.

Registration Rights

We have not granted registration rights to the selling shareholders or to any other persons.

            Our authorized common stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. The holders of our common stock:

Cash dividends

As of the date of this prospectus, we have not paid any cash dividends to our stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Pursuant to the Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. 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 of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 3.02          UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

The information provided in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K related to the aforementioned Share Exchange Agreement is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

On April 22, 2013, under the Share Exchange Agreement, we issued 33,733,333 shares of restricted common stock to the existing shareholders of NuZee Co., Ltd. With the issuance of the 33,733,333 shares to the NuZee Shareholders, they own a controlling interest in HVFI. See Item 5.01 - Changes in Control of Registrant below, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The shares of common stock referenced herein were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration afforded under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering, or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, or Regulation S for offers and sales of securities outside the United States.  The Share Exchange Agreement is an exempt transaction pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as the share exchange was a private transaction by the Company and did not involve any public offering.  Additionally, we relied upon the exemption afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act which is a safe harbor for the private offering exemption of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act whereby an issuer may sell its securities to an unlimited number of accredited investors, as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D.  Further, we relied upon the safe harbor provision of Rule 903 of Regulation S of the Securities Act which permits offers or sales of securities by the Company outside of the United States that are not made to “U.S. persons” or for the account or benefit of a “U.S. person”, as that term is defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S.

ITEM 4.01      CHANGES IN CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

(a)     Resignation of Independent Certifying Accountant

Effective April 23, 2013, MaloneBailey, LLP (the "Former Accountant") resigned as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

The reports of the Former Accountant regarding the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2011 and July 31, 2012 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the audit report of the Former Accountant on the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2011 and July 31, 2012 contained an explanatory paragraph which noted that there was substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

29

 

During the fiscal years ended July 31, 2011 and July 31, 2012, and during the period from July 31, 2012 to April 23, 2013, the date of resignation, (i) there were no disagreements with the Former Accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the Former Accountant would have caused it to make reference to such disagreement in its reports; and (ii) there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(l)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has provided the Former Accountant with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested that the Former Accountant furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements.  A copy of such letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(b)     Engagement of Independent Certifying Accountant

Effective April 23, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company engaged Anton & Chia, LLP ("A&C") as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company's financial statements for the Company's current fiscal year.

During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and through the interim periods preceding the engagement of A&C, the Company (a) has not engaged A&C as either the principal accountant to audit the Company's financial statements, or as an independent accountant to audit a significant subsidiary of the Company and on whom the principal accountant is expected to express reliance in its report; and (b) has not consulted with A&C regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by A&C concluding there was an important factor to be considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(l)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event, as that term is described in Item 304(a)(l)(v) of Regulation S-K.

(c)        Subsequent Events

Subsequent to filing of the original Form 8-K on April 25, 2013, the Company dismissed Anton & Chia, LLP and re-engaged MaloneBailey, LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm.  Detailed information regarding the Company's re-engagement of MaloneBailey, LLP was included in the Company's Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 3, 2013.

ITEM 5.01          CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT

The information provided in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K related to the aforementioned Share Exchange Agreement is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01.

As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, the NuZee Shareholders own a total of 33,733,333 restricted shares of the Company, which represents 93.88% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock.  The Share Exchange Agreement is being accounted for as a "reverse acquisition," as the NuZee Shareholders own a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's capital stock immediately following the Closing of the Share Exchange Agreement. Accordingly, NuZee is deemed to be the acquirer in the reverse acquisition. After the Closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Board of Directors and management of the Company are comprised of NuZee’s management team and the operations of NuZee are the continuing operations of the Company.

30

 

ITEM 5.02        DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN DIRECTORS

On April 19, 2013, prior to the Closing Date of the Share Exchange Agreement referred to in Item 1.01 above and as a condition to the Closing, Haisam Hamie resigned as the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and sole member of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Additionally, on April 19, 2013, prior to the Closing Date of the Share Exchange Agreement and as a condition to the Closing, the Board increased the number of Directors from 1 to 5 and appointed the following to the Board of Directors:  Masa Higashida, Craig Hagopian, Satoru Yukie, Fernando Corona, and Arata Matsushima.  The Board also appointed the following officers:

            *          Craig Hagopian: President and Chief Executive Officer

            *          Satoru Yukie: Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer

Biographies for the above-mentioned Officers and Directors are set forth in Item 2.01above. 

ITEM 5.03        AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR

On April 23,  2013, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of Nevada.  As a result of the Amendment, the Company has changed its name with the State of Nevada from Havana Furnishings, Inc. to NuZee, Inc. The Amendment will be effective on May 3, 2013  A copy of the Amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.01.  The Company intends to change its fiscal year-end to that of NuZee Co., Ltd., which is September 30.

ITEM 5.06      CHANGE IN SHELL COMPANY STATUS

Reference is made to the disclosures set forth under Item 2.01 and 5.01 of this report, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference. As a result of the acquisition of NuZee Co., Ltd. pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement entered into on April 19, 2013, we are no longer considered a "shell company" (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as the Company now has significant non-cash assets. See Item 5.01 - Changes in Control of Registrant, above, which is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 8.01          OTHER EVENTS

The Company’s Board of Directors, having received the written consent of shareholders holding a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, approved: (i) an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the Company’s name from Havana Furnishings, Inc. to NuZee, Inc. (the “Corporate Name Change”); and (ii) a change to the Company’s OTC trading symbol from HVFI to NUZE, or if unavailable, to NZEE or NEWZ (the “Symbol Change”). Under Nevada corporation law, the consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power is effective as stockholders' approval.  We expect the Corporate Name Change and Symbol Change to be declared effective by FINRA on or before May 3, 2013.

Exhibit 99.01

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of

NUZEE Co., Ltd.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Nuzee Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2012, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from inception, November 9, 2011 to September 30, 2012.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 audit includes 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to the above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nuzee Co., Ltd. as of September 30, 2012, and the results of its operations and cash flows from inception November 9, 2011 to September 30, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has a loss from operations and an accumulated deficit of $285,058 at September 30, 2012. This consideration raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters, which are further described in Note 2, are to use its available borrowing capacity through its short-term credit facilities provided by related parties, raise additional debt or equity capital, and continue to progress towards commercial viability of its products. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NUZEE Co., Ltd.

 (A Development Stage Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2012

1. ORGANIZATION

Nuzee Co., Ltd.(“Company”) was incorporated on November 9, 2011 in California, and is registered to do business in California.   The Company is affiliated with international businesses that distribute the same products in Asia.  The Company is a start-up organization which intends to market and distribute primarily energy products. Additionally, while the Company primarily intends to purchase its proprietary products and resell, the Company may also engage in contract manufacturing, where the Company purchases raw materials, and retains a contract converter to process the raw materials into finished products for resale.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying audited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and include all the notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of the financial statements have been included.

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements. The Company is classified as a development stage enterprise under GAAP and has not generated any revenues from its principal operations as of September 30, 2012.

Development Stage and Capital Resources

Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, acquiring operating assets and raising capital. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in GAAP.  The Company has not generated  revenues from its principal operations, and there is no assurance of future revenues. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had an accumulated deficit from inception of $285,058.

The Company’s activities will necessitate significant uses of working capital beyond 2012. Additionally, the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the success of the Company’s continued marketing efforts and the status of competitive products. The Company plans to continue financing its operations with cash received from financing activities, more specifically from equity contributions.

While the Company strongly believes that its capital resources will be sufficient in the near term, there is no assurance that the Company’s activities will generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations without additional capital or if additional capital is needed, that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company.

Going Concern

Since inception, the Company has a cumulative net loss of $285,058. The Company currently has only limited working capital with which to continue its operating activities. The amount of capital required to sustain operations is subject to future events and uncertainties. The Company must secure additional working capital through the generation of revenues, loans, sale of equity securities, or a combination, in order to implement its business plans. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available in the future, or available on commercially reasonable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

F-6

 

The accompanying financial statements have been presented on the basis of the continuation of the Company as a going concern and do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

During 2012, the Company has generated revenue in the amount of $nil. Management has continued to manage its costs for 2013 to ensure appropriate funding is on hand for its operation. If the Company's 2013 projections are not met, the company will be required to decrease expenses and raise additional equity and/or debt financing, which may not be available at commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

Use of Estimates

In preparing these financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The estimated fair value of these instruments approximates its carrying amount due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2012.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high quality banking institutions. From time to time, the Company may maintain cash balances at certain institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit.

Revenue Recognition

The Company is in the development stage and has yet to realize revenues from planned operations. The Company will recognize revenue only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the products are delivered and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company has not recorded any sales transactions since inception.

Inventory

Inventory, consisting principally of products held for resale, is stated at the lower of cost, using the weighted average cost method or net realizable value.   The Company review inventory levels at least annual and records a valuation allowance when appropriate.  At September 30, 2012 the Company concluded there was an impairment to the carrying value of the inventory of $80,422 ($52,983 of skincare products and $27,439 of spring water), the amount reflected on the balance sheet is net of this adjustment. The inventory purchases were purchased from iSpring at the exchange amounts, not below or above market value, and the pricing of the inventory was at historical cost.  Our Director, Masa Higashida, is a majority owner of iSpring.

Equipment, net

Equipment is stated at cost. The Company depreciates equipment on a straight line basis.  Office Equipment is depreciated over a 3 year life, vehicles over a 5 year life, and other assets over a 10 year life.  Depreciation expense for the year ended September 30, 2012 was $124.  Repair and Maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Samples

The Company distributes samples of its products as a component of its marketing program.  Costs for samples are expensed at the time the samples are shipped.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 350-30 (formerly SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets), the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their then carrying values may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets

F-7

 

over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. The Company’s management currently believes there is no impairment of its long-lived assets. There can be no assurance however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s products under development will continue. Either of these could result in future impairment of long-lived assets. The Company acquired intellectual property during September 2012, the first test of impairment will be made prior to September 30, 2013.

Litigation

The Company is not aware of any claims or asserted litigation involving the Company as of September 30, 2012.

Income Taxes

As a result of the implementation of certain provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, (formerly FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109), (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined. ASC 740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes.

In 2012, the Company adopted Accounting for Uncertain Income Taxes under the provisions of ASC 740. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company did not recognize any additional liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the adoption of ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740. In addition, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 740. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes.

Our tax provision determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which they are earned, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 2012, the Company adopted ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 represents the converged guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) on fair value measurement. A variety of measures are included in the update intended to either clarify existing fair value measurement requirements, change particular principles requirements for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the FASB does not intend to change the application of existing requirements under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2011-04 was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Effective January 2012, the Company adopted ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). ASU 2011-05 is intended to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of accounting guidance in this area with that of the IASB. The amendments require that all nonowner changes in shareholders’ equity be presented in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of

F-8

 

Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (ASU 2011-12). ASU 2011-12 defers the provisions of ASU 2011-05 that require the presentation of reclassification adjustments on the face of both the statement of income and statement of other comprehensive income. Amendments under ASU 2011-05 that were not deferred under ASU 2011-12 will be applied retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). The amendments in ASU 2011-11 require the disclosure of information on offsetting and related arrangements for financial and derivative instruments to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. Amendments under ASU 2011-11 will be applied retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after January 1, 2013. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU 2011-11 will have on its financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive (ASU 2013-02). This guidance is the culmination of the FASB’s deliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments require disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income must be crossreferenced to other disclosures that provide additional detail. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of ASU 2013-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Ms. Jennifer Lopez Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Corporation Finance Washington, DC 20549 Via Edgar Only

Re:       NuZee, Inc.

            Form 8-K/A3 filed on September 13, 2013

Dear Ms. Lopez:

NuZee, Inc. (the "Company") hereby submits responses to comments and questions raised by the staff (the "Staff") of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in its letter dated September 26, 2013 (the “Comment Letter”) relating to the Company’s Current Report as amended on Form 8-K/A filed on September 13, 2013 ("Form 8-K/A3").

The Company’s responses are numbered to correspond to the Staff’s comments and are filed in conjunction with Amendment No. 3 to the Form 8-K ("Form 8-K/A4").  For your convenience, each of the Staff’s comments contained in the Comment Letter has been restated below in its entirety, with the Company’s response set forth immediately beneath such comment.

Risk Factors, page 10

Our success is dependent on collaborative agreements, page 11

1.We note your response to comment 2 of our letter dated August 29, 2013. Please revise your filing and discuss the risks, if any, associated with the lack of a finalized written agreement with your beverage architect. In this regard, it appears from your disclosure that your energy drink business is dependent on your agreement with the beverage architect. For example, we note your disclosure on page 6 that your beverage architect “provides [y]our raw ingredients and formulation science.”

Response

The Company has added a risk factor discussing the risks associated with the fact that we do not have a written agreement with our beverage architect.

Statements of Cash Flows, page F-5

2.We have reviewed your response to comment 3 in our letter dated August 29, 2013. Although you indicate that you revised your footnote disclosure, it does not appear that you have made any revisions. Accordingly, we re-issue our prior comment. Please address each of the following items:

·Although you indicate that the entire $80,422 inventory impairment during the period ended September 30, 2012 resulted from inventory purchased from related parties, we note that your related party footnote on page F-10 discloses only $10,454 of skin care products purchased from an entity controlled by your majority shareholder. Please disclose all related party transactions in the related party footnote and clearly disclose that the inventory impairment related to inventory purchased from a related party. Please disclose the names of all involved related parties and specify if they are entities controlled by your majority shareholder.

·Tell us if these inventory purchases were made at prices more or less favorable to you than available on the market including how you arrived at your conclusion.

Response

Omission of the amended footnote was in error.  The  Company has revised the footnotes to correct the omission.  With regard to the second prong of this comment, the Company was informed by Mr. Higashida that prices paid by us for inventory purchased from companies controlled by him were not more or less favorable to us, but rather, were market prices.

·   the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;

·   Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and
