Note 20 - Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2011 and through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has concluded that no subsequent events, other than those disclosed following, required disclosure in these financial statements.

On August 18, 2011, the Company completed a private placement pursuant to which it sold 2,998,267 units, each such unit consisting of 1 share of its common stock and a warrant to purchase 15% of 1 share of its common stock, at $1.50 per unit for $4.5 million. The warrants are immediately exercisable, expire on the third anniversary of their issuance and entitle the holders to purchase 449,740 shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.00 per share. The Company may call the warrants at $4.00 per share at any time after: (i) a registration statement registering the common stock underlying the warrants becomes effective; (ii) the common stock is listed on a national securities exchange; and (iii) the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $4.00. The Company paid the placement agent in the private placement commissions consisting of $449,740 and warrants, having the same terms and conditions as the warrants issued in the private placement, to purchase 449,740 shares of our common stock. The warrants issued in this private placement are exercisable for a fixed number of shares, solely redeemable by the Company and not redeemable by the warrant holders. Accordingly, these warrants are classified as equity instruments. The Company accounted for the warrants issued in the private placement based on the fair value method under ASC Topic 505, and the fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes model under the following assumptions: estimated life of 3 years, volatility of 122%, risk-free interest rate of 0.33% and dividend yield of 0%. No estimate of forfeitures was made as the Company has a short history of granting options and warrants. The fair value of the warrants issued to investors at grant date was $449,740, and the fair value of the warrants issued to the placement agent at grant date was $449,740. The Company received net proceeds of $3.86 million from this private placement. The commission and legal cost associated with this offering was $0.64 million.

On August 29, 2011, St. Joyal paid the Company $0.45 million of the $2.4 million owed to the Company by January 1, 2014, in exchange for its acquisition of 18.75% of the equity interest in Nova Furniture BVI pursuant to the shareholder agreement entered into by and between St. Joyal and Nova Furniture BVI on January 1, 2011.
