NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc.’s (the “Company” or “Plandaí”) consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to recoverability and classification of recorded amounts of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to continue to execute its operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

Plandaí and its subsidiaries focus on the development and production of proprietary botanical extracts for the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries. The Company grows much of the live plant material used in its products on a 3,237 hectare (approx. 8,000 acre) estate it operates under a 49-year notarial lease in the Mpumalanga region of South Africa. Plandaí uses a proprietary extraction process that is designed to yield highly bioavailable products of pharmaceutical-grade purity. The first product brought to market was Phytofare™ Catechin Complex, a green-tea derived extract that has multiple potential wellness applications. Additional extracts utilizing citrus, artemisia, and cannabis are in various stages of development and testing. The Company’s principle holdings consist of land, farms and infrastructure in South Africa. The Company is actively pursuing additional financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained. Management believes these efforts will generate sufficient cash flows from future operations to pay the Company's obligations and realize positive cash flow. There is no assurance any of these transactions will occur.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying financial statements represent the results of operations for the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20152016 and DecemberMarch 31, 2014.2015. The Company has adopted the US dollar as the reporting currency for accounting and reporting purposes.

This summary of accounting policies for Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to form 10Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. Operating results for the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20152016 are not necessarily indicative of the final results that may be expected for the year ended June 30, 2016. For more complete financial information, these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2015 filed with the SEC.

Use of Estimates

The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and statement of operations for the year then ended. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for allowance for bad debts, collect ability of accounts receivable, amounts due to service providers, depreciation and litigation contingencies, among others.

Business Combinations and Acquisitions

The disclosure requirements for business combination and acquisitions are intended to enable users of financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of:

The Company discloses each material business combination in the period in which the business combination occurs. The Company also discloses information about acquisitions made after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued. Gains or losses arising from the deconsolidation of a business when the company loses control of that business are also disclosed. Acquisition costs incurred such as legal, advisory and consulting fees are expensed as incurred. In accordance with ASC 805-10-25-1, ASC 805-10-05-4 and IFRS 3.4, 5, the Company employs the Acquisition Method of accounting for routine acquisitions and combinations.

Net Loss Per Common Share

The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 260,Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted effect of all common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation plus the number of common shares, if any, that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding. For all periods diluted earnings per share is not presented, as potentially issuable securities are anti-dilutive.

In January 2014, the Company issued warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock which have a strike price of $0.01/share; however, since the Company incurred a loss for all periods presented, the warrants are considered anti-dilutive. During the year ended June 30, 2015, a total of 1,666,666 warrants were exercised utilizing a “cashless” option resulting in the issuance of 1,629,212 shares of restricted common stock, leaving 3,333,334 outstanding exercisable warrants as of DecemberMarch 31, 2015.2016.

Reclassifications

Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. There was no net impact on total assets, net (loss), comprehensive (loss) or the statement of cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

NOTE 3 – FIXED ASSETS

Fixed assets, stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation at DecemberMarch 31, 20152016 and June 30, 2015 consisted of the following:

The reduction in fixed assets results from a combination of depreciation expense and the fluctuation of the South African Rand against the U.S. Dollar, as all of the Company’s fixed assets are located in South Africa.

Depreciation expense

Depreciation expense for the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20152016 was $133,303$118,609 and $276,974,$393,678 compared to $46,404$46,695 and $92,763$139,517 for the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2014,2015, respectively. The Company did not commence depreciating the leasehold improvements, plant and equipment, and other fixed assets associated with the factory until they were placed in service, January 1, 2015. The difference between accumulated depreciation and depreciation expense results from the application of the currency adjustment (see Note 8).

NOTE 5 –NOTES PAYABLE

As of the dates presented, the long-term loan balances were as follows:

Notes Payable – other third party

Between November 25, 2013 and June 4, 2015, the Company issued a total of $6,500,000 in notes payable to a third party, the proceeds from which were used for working capital purposes. In July 2015, the Company issued a note payable for $400,000 to the third party in exchange for cash of $384,170 and payment of expenses on behalf of the Company of $15,830. The note bears interest at 6% per annum and was originally due February 1, 2016.

Collectively, these notes total $6,900,000 and $6,500,000 as of DecemberMarch 31 20152016 and June 30, 2015, respectively, and were due and payable twelve months after issuance. The Company subsequently renegotiated the due date on each of these notes to July 1, 2016. The Company is not required to make monthly payments on any of these notes. As of DecemberMarch 31, 20152016 and June 30, 2015, the Company recorded accrued interest pertaining to the outstanding notes payable in the amounts of $492,250$594,332 and $288,612, respectively.

Land and Agriculture Bank of South Africa

In June 2012, the Company, through the majority-owned subsidiaries of Dunn Roman Holdings, Inc., executed final loan documents on a 100 million Rand (approx. $6.5 million USD at current rates) financing with the Land and Agriculture Bank of South Africa (“Land Bank”). The total loan is comprised of multiple agreements totaling, between Green Gold Biotechnologies (Pty) Ltd. and Breakwood Trading 22(Pty) Ltd., 100 million rand (approx. $6.5 million USD at current exchange rates). The loans all bear interest at the rate of prime plus 0.5% per annum and are all due in seven years. In addition, the loans have a 25-month “holiday” in which no payments or interest are due until 25 months after the first draw down of funds. The loans are collateralized by the assets and operations, including the Senteeko lease, agriculture production and receivables of Dunn Roman Holdings, which is the African operating arm of Plandaí. In addition, Dunn Roman Holdings was required to grant a 15% profit share agreement to the Land Bank which extends through the duration of the loan agreements (7 years unless pre-paid). The profit share agreement extends only to profits generated by Dunn Roman Holdings exclusive of operations of Plandaí and outside of South Africa. By way of loan covenants, the borrowing entities are required to maintain a debt to equity ratio of 1.5:1, interest coverage ratio of 1.5:1, and security coverage ratio of 1:1, none of which are currently in compliance. However, the Company consistently notified the Bank of this situation and has requested written documentation as to the Bank’s intention. The Bank has provided documentation extending the “holiday” at least through December 2016. As of and through the date of this report, the Land Bank has not provided any notice of default or requested compliance with the terms of the loans.

During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of restricted common stock to three Dunn Roman shareholders in exchange for their shares of Dunn Roman Holdings which had been previously issued. The acquired Dunn Roman shares were then provided to third parties in order to comply with the BEE provisions associated with the loan from the Land Bank of South Africa, which required that 15% of Dunn Roman be owned by non-white South Africans. The Company has therefore determined to treat the value of the shares issued to acquire the Dunn Roman stock ($585,000, based on the value of shares on the date of issuance) as a cost of securing the financing and recorded as a loan discount which is amortized over the life of the loan (7 years). During the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20152016 the Company amortized $16,101 and $32,202,$48,303, respectively, leaving a debt discount balance of $343,485$327,384 at DecemberMarch 31, 2015.2016.

As of DecemberMarch 31, 2015,2016, a total of $6,778,061,$7,369,404, which includes capitalized accrued interest, was owed to the Land Bank. The proceeds were used to purchase fixed assets that are employed in South Africa to produce the Company’s botanical extracts, fund the rehabilitation of the Senteeko Tea Estate, including the repair of roads, bridges, and onsite management and farm worker housing, and the pruning, weeding and fertilizing of the plantation. As the 25-month holiday in which no payments or interest are due expired in July of 2014, the Company is required to make monthly payments of approximately 2,250,000 South African Rand (approximately $145,000 US Dollars). During the sixnine months ended December 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, the Company paid approximately $162,329 and accrued $382,115$559,088 in capitalized interest. Commencing August 2015, the Company ceased making payments to the Land Bank and has been in discussions to renegotiate the payment terms of the obligation. The Land Bank has been cooperative in this effort and has not expressed any intention to foreclose or accelerate the debt balances. Inasmuch as the Company is out of compliance with certain loan covenants including the non-payment of scheduled monthly amounts due under the various leases, the Company has elected to classify the entire balance owed to the Land Bank as “current” in the accompanying balance sheetsheets as of DecemberMarch 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015.

Future maturities of long-term debt are as follows:

NOTE 6 – NOTES PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES

On January 1, 2016, the Company borrowed £35,000 ($50,526 at March 31, 2016), from the son of Roger Baylis-Duffield, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the proceeds from which were used for general operating purposes. The note bears interest at the rate of 15% per annum, with interest due semi-annually, and the balance plus any accrued interest due and payable on December 31, 2016.

Changes in Derivative Liabilities

NOTE 78 – DEFERRED LEASE OBLIGATIONS

Plandaí’s subsidiaries have two long-term, material leases which either have escalating terms or included several months of “free” rent, including the 49-year notarial lease for the Senteeko Tea Estate.

NOTE 1112 – WARRANTS

On January 28, 2014, the Company signed an agreement with Diego Pellicer, Inc. under which the Company received a license to use the Diego Pellicer name and likeness on a future cannabis-based extract which is under development. As consideration for the license, the Company issued warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $0.01 per share. The Company computed the value of the warrants issued using the Black-Scholes method with the following assumptions:

The Company originally recorded a value of $5,749,985 as an asset. However, as the cannabis extract was still in development, the intangible licenses asset balance was deemed fully impaired as of June 30, 2014, leaving a zero asset balance. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment expense of $5,749,985. Should the cannabis extract come to market, the value of the license will be re-evaluated.

On November 10, 2015, the Company issued warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, such warrants expiring three years after issuance. The warrants were issued as part of a stock purchase agreement with a third party.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This statement includes projections of future results and "forward looking statements" as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements that are included in this Quarterly Report, other than statements of historical fact, are forward looking statements. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in these forward looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct.

BUSINESS

Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc., (the “Company”) through its acquisition of Global Energy Solutions, Ltd. and its subsidiaries, focuses on the farming of whole fruits, vegetables and live plant material and the production of proprietary functional foods and botanical extracts for the health and wellness industry. Its principle holdings consist of land, farms and infrastructure in South Africa.

The Company was incorporated, as Jerry's Inc., in the State of Florida on November 30, 1942. The Company catered airline flights and operated coffee shops, lounges and gift shops at airports and other facilities located in Florida, Alabama and Georgia. The Company's airline catering services included the preparation of meals in kitchens located at, or adjacent to, airports and the distribution of meals and beverages for service on commercial airline flights. The Company also provided certain ancillary services, including, among others, the preparation of beverage service carts, the unloading and cleaning of plates, utensils and other accessories arriving on incoming aircraft, and the inventory management and storage of airline-owned dining service equipment. In March of 2004 we moved our domicile to Nevada and changed our name to Diamond Ranch Foods, Ltd. Diamond Ranch Foods, Ltd. was engaged in the meat processing and distribution industry. Operations consisted of packing, processing, custom meat cutting, portion controlled meats, private labeling, and distribution of our products to a diversified customer base, including, but not limited to; in-home food service businesses, retailers, hotels, restaurants and institutions, deli and catering operators, and industry suppliers. On November 17, 2011, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Plandaí Biotechnologies, Inc. consummated a share exchange with Global Energy Solutions Corporation Limited, an Irish corporation. Under the terms of the Share Exchange, GES received 76,000,000 shares of Diamond Ranch that had been previously issued to Plandaí Biotechnologies, Inc. in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding capital of GES.  On November 21, 2011, the Company filed an amendment to the articles of incorporation to change the name of the Company to Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc. 

Plandaí and its subsidiaries focus on the development and production of proprietary botanical extracts for the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries. The Company grows much of the live plant material used in its products on a 3,237 hectare (approx. 8,000 acre) estate it operates under a 49-year notarial lease in the Mpumalanga region of South Africa. Plandaí uses a proprietary extraction process that is designed to yield highly bioavailable products of pharmaceutical-grade purity. The first product brought to market was Phytofare™ Catechin Complex, a green-tea derived extract that has multiple potential wellness applications. Additional extracts utilizing citrus, artemisia, and cannabis are in various stages of development and testing. The Company’s principle holdings consist of land, farms and infrastructure in South Africa.

The Company’s production facility in South Africa received its certificate of occupancy and operations on December 31, 2014. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company began shipping product to customers and recording sales. However, a hailstorm during the quarter destroyed a large percentage of the tea crop and there was insufficient time remaining in the growing season to yield another harvest. As a result, sales for the final quarter through December 31, 2014 were limited. Production recommenced in October 2015 with the commencement of harvest season.

The Company is actively pursuing additional financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained. Management believes these efforts, combined with projected sales for fiscal 2016, will generate sufficient cash flows from future operations to pay the Company's obligations and realize positive cash flow. There is no assurance any of these transactions will occur

We will continue to seek to raise additional capital through the sale of common stock to fund the expansion of our Company. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the capital required and without additional funds we would be unable to expand our plant, acquire other companies, or further implement our business plan. In April 2012, through our subsidiary companies, we secured a 100 million Rand (approximately $8.3 million at current rate of exchange) financing with the Land and Agriculture Bank of South Africa which will be used to build infrastructure and further operations. During the sixnine months ended December 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we borrowed $400,000 from an unaffiliated third party under a promissory note due and payable July 1, 2016 and earning interest at 6% per annum. We also sold 5,764,6008,514,600 shares of our restricted common stock for net proceeds of $187,700.$293,660 and issued $290,000 in convertible debentures.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Plandaí has a proprietary technology that extracts a high level of bio-available compounds and phytonutrients from organic matter, including green tea leaves, citrus and many other plants. Various tests have been conducted over the past ten years using this technology to generate functional chemical compounds possessing nutritive properties that act effectively as preventive agents in the healthcare field. Polyphenols from green tea are an excellent source of antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic substances. The Company leases 3,237 hectares (approx. 8,000 acres) of agriculture land in Mpumalanga, South Africa, under a 49-year notarial lease, which includes over a thousand acres of cultivated green tea. In addition, the Company has recently completed a 100,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art extraction facility on site which came online in December 2014. Plandaí intends to use its plantation leases to focus on the farming of whole fruits, vegetables and live plant material and the production of proprietary botanical extracts for the health and wellness industry using its proprietary extraction technology and the extraction facility.

Many botanical extracts have demonstrated varying degrees of health benefits, and many pharmaceutical drugs are either derived directly from plant extracts or are synthetic analogs of phytonutrient molecules. Green tea leaf, for example, has shown promising in-vitro and animal model results as an anti-oxidant, with hundreds of different published studies demonstrating its potential usefulness in weight loss, anti-viral, anti-cancer, and anti-parasitic applications, amongst others.

The Company has commercialized the Phytofare^® catechin complex and is currently developing the Phytofare^® limonoid glycoside complex. The catechin complex is derived from green tea harvested locally on the Senteeko Tea Estate in Mpumalanga, South Africa, and then processed on a state-of-the-art extraction facility constructed onsite using funds obtained from the Land and Agriculture Bank of South Africa. The facility became operational in December 2014, with initial sales commencing in May 2015. The limonoid glycoside product is extracted from lemons which are sourced from local orchards in South Africa and then produced in the same factory that makes the green tea product. The Phytofare® Limonoid Glycoside Complex is scheduled be introduced to the market in late 2016.

On August 30, 2013, Plandaí entered into a license agreement with North-West University in Potchefstroom, South Africa, which granted the Company the exclusive right to use the University’s Pheroid^® technology to produce nano-entrapped botanical extracts for human and animal use. The Company believes that this technology will enable it to develop products with much higher absorption coefficients in both topical use and oral consumption.

During the previous year, the Company completed two separate human studies designed to test both the efficacy and bioavailability of its Phytofare^® catechin complex. The first study was a topical trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the extract on treating skin conditions associated with aging. Specifically, the study evaluated changes in skin elasticity, skin roughness and scaliness, and skin hydration and found that Phytofare^® demonstrated statistically significant benefits over placebo in all areas except skin elasticity, for which the length of the study was determined to be too short to render statistically reliable data.

The second clinical study, completed by North West University, Potchefstroom, South Africa, tested the oral bioavailability of Phytofare^® catechin complex in human subjects. The test results indicated that five times more Phytofare® extract was present in the blood with all eight catechins detected compared with just two catechins from the generic green tea extract. In addition, after 24 hours, the blood levels of catechins from the Phytofare^® extract were still higher than the highest level attained by the generic, which, after six hours, had disappeared from the blood. This study confirmed that Phytofare^® catechin complex delivers more catechins to the blood than generic extract and that those catechins remain present and viable at least four times longer.

The Company is actively pursuing research on additional botanical extracts that have known or suspected pharmaceutical properties. This research includes developing a non-psychoactive cannabinoid extract through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Plandaí Biotechnology- Uruguay, SA. This company has concluded its initial investigative research with live cannabis flower and leaf and intends to engineer a pilot scale system for processing and recovering the cannabinoid complex in a highly bioavailable format without psychoactive effects. The company was granted approval by the Uruguay Minister of Health in September 2014 to legally conduct cannabis research and development. In February 2015, a new decree imposed the further requirement of an additional license from the Institute for Regulation and Control of Cannabis (IRCCA). In May 2015, Plandaí received the license from IRCCA granting the necessary approvals under the new laws and now permitting the research to move forward. The Phytofare^® cannabinoid complex will be subjected to chemical profiling, as well as particle sizing and dosage. Independentin vitro and animal modelling will support the project’s prime objective by scientifically investigating in animals efficient free-radical scavenging, demonstrating improvements to a variety of human physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory. Despite the government approvals, there are still obstacles preventing the continuation of the Company’s research; namely, the inability to import the seeds and other research materials necessary. The Company is working with the Uruguay government to resolve these issues and research will recommence once resolved.

COMPETITION

The Company faces competition from a variety of sources. There are several large producers of farm products including green tea and there are numerous companies that develop and market nutriceutical products that include bio-available compounds including those from green tea and citrus extracts. Many of these competitors benefit from established distribution, market-ready products, and greater levels of financing. Plandaí intends to compete by producing higher quality and higher concentration extracts, producing at lower costs, and controlling a vertically integrated market that includes all stages from farming through production and marketing. The Company’s unique patent-pending technology, combined with the patented Pheroid^® technology, should provide several unique market advantages in the form of higher absorption, increased bioavailability, and lower dosage requirements.

CUSTOMERS

Plandaí markets its products through distribution companies who the sell to various nutriceutical and supplement companies that require high-quality bio-available extracts for their products. In certain countries where it is economically feasible, Plandaí sells direct to nutriceutical and supplement manufacturers. The Company presently has distribution agreements with representation worldwide and also sells direct to customers in South Africa.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2015,2016, the Company used cash in operating activities totaling $483,003,$828,813, which was primarily attributable to a loss from operations of $1,926,537$3,015,116 offset against several non-cash expense items such as depreciation of $277,367,$393,678, stock issued for services of $106,000,$273,350, deferred lease obligation of $176,271,$250,853, and interest expense of $382,115$559,529 which was added to the loan balance.

Included in current liabilities is $13,334,576$13,942,020 in notes payable, of which $4,694,576 is long-term debt that has been reclassified as current due to the Company being out of compliance with certain loan covenants.

PLAN OF OPERATION

The Company's long-term existence is dependent upon our ability to execute our operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing to fund payment of obligations and provide working capital for operations. In April 2012, the Company through majority-owned subsidiaries of Dunn Roman Holdings Africa (Pty) Limited, executed final loan documents,documents on a 100 million Rand (approx. $6.5 million at current rate of exchange) financing with the Land and Agriculture Bank of South Africa and began rehabilitating the Senteeko Tea Estate so that it can begin producing up to 20 metric tons of tea leaf per day commencing with the September 2015 growing season. The Company has also completed construction of the factory and associated equipment necessary to begin the extraction process on live botanical matter, including green tea and citrus, with the factory becoming operational in December 2014. The facility commenced processing green tea material for its Phytofare™ Catechin Complex in January 2015 and sales commenced in May 2015. In addition, the Company borrowed $6,900,000 from an unrelated third party and sold shares of restricted common stock to raise operating capital. Management anticipates that, over the coming several months, the Company will continue to need additional investment in the form of either debt or proceeds from the sale of stock until such time as it can generate sufficient cash flow from the sale of its products.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our financial statements, we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments.

Revenue recognition

The Company derives its revenue from the production and sale of bioavailable extracts in both raw material and finished product form. Revenues are recognized when product is ordered and delivered. Product shipped on consignment is not counted in revenue until sold. The Company also generates revenues from the sales of timber and produce generated on its estate in South Africa. Such revenues are recorded when the timber is transferred to the customer, which generally coincides with the receipt of payment. Finally, the Company receives income from a general store operated for the convenience of workers who live on-site.

Intangible and Long-Lived Assets

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, “Property Plant and Equipment”, which establishes a “primary asset” approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets on an annual basis to determine if there is an impairment on useful life or the ability of the Company to realize sufficient economic value over the course of the remaining useful life. The Company most recently evaluated its long-lived assets in connection with the preparation of its annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2015 and determined that there was no impairment.

Intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”. We assess the impairment of long-lived assets on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value is less than its carrying value. Factors that we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include poor economic performance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant negative industry, economic or company specific trends, changes in the manner of our use of the assets or the plans for our business, market price of our common stock, and loss of key personnel. The share exchange did not result in the recording of goodwill and there is not currently any goodwill recorded. In February 2014, the Company purchased a license from Diego Pellicer in exchange for warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The value of such warrants was capitalized as a License; however, since the Company has thus far not produced and sold a product that would benefit from the license, a reserve of 100% was recorded against the license.

Potential Derivative Instruments

We periodically assess our financial and equity instruments to determine if they require derivative accounting. Instruments which may potentially require derivative accounting are conversion features of debt and common stock equivalents in excess of available authorized common shares.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Non-Controlling Interest

Plandaí owns 100% of Dunn Roman Holdings—Africa, which in turn owns 74% of Breakwood Trading 22 (Pty, Ltd. and 84% Green Gold Biotechnologies (Pty), Ltd., in order to be compliant with the Black Economic Empowerment rules imposed by the South African Land Bank. While the Company, under the Equity Method of Accounting, is required to consolidate 100% of the operations of its majority-owned subsidiaries, that portion of subsidiary net equity attributable to the minority ownership, together with an allocated portion of net income or net loss incurred by the subsidiaries, must be reflected on the consolidated financial statements. On the balance sheet, minority interest has been shown in the Equity Section, separated from the equity of Plandaí, while on the income statement, the non-controlling shareholder allocation of net loss has been shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Currency Translation Adjustment

The Company maintains significant operations in South Africa, where the currency is the Rand. The subsidiary financial statements are therefore converted into US dollars prior to consolidation with the parent entity, Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc. US GAAP requires that the weighted average exchange rate be applied to the foreign income statements and that the closing exchange rate as of the period end date be applied to the balance sheet. The cumulative foreign currency adjustment is included in the equity section of the balance sheet. Since most of our assets and operations are in South Africa, as the dollar strengthens in comparison to the Rand, it reduces both the carrying value of our assets and the amount of our liabilities.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We Have Historically Lost Money and Losses May Continue in the Future

We have historically lost money.   The loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 was $9,582,457 and future losses are likely to occur.  Accordingly, we may experience significant liquidity and cash flow problems if we are not able to raise additional capital as needed and on acceptable terms.  No assurances can be given we will be successful in reaching or maintaining profitable operations.

We Will Need to Raise Additional Capital to Finance Operations

Our operations have relied almost entirely on external financing to fund our operations.  Such financing has historically come from a combination of borrowings and from the sale of common stock and assets to third parties.  We will need to raise additional capital to fund our anticipated operating expenses and future expansion.  Among other things, external financing will be required to cover our operating costs.  We cannot assure you that financing whether from external sources or related parties will be available if needed or on favorable terms.  The sale of our common stock to raise capital may cause dilution to our existing shareholders.  Our inability to obtain adequate financing will result in the need to curtail business operations.  Any of these events would be materially harmful to our business and may result in a lower stock price.

There is Substantial Doubt About Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern Due to Recurring Losses and Working Capital Shortages, Which Means that We May Not Be Able to Continue Operations Unless We Obtain Additional Funding

The report of our independent accountants on our June 30, 2015 financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph indicating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to recurring losses and working capital shortages.  Our ability to continue as a going concern will be determined by our ability to obtain additional funding and our ability to generated adequate revenues from the sale of our products.  Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Our Common Stock May Be Affected By Limited Trading Volume and May Fluctuate Significantly

There has been a limited public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for our common stock will develop.  As a result, this could adversely affect our shareholders' ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all.  Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations that could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance.  In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. Substantial fluctuations in our stock price could significantly reduce the price of our stock.

There is no Assurance of Continued Public Trading Market and Being a Low Priced Security may Affect the Market Value of Our Stock

To date, there has been only a limited public market for our common stock. Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCBB. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our stock. Our stock is subject to the low-priced security or so called "penny stock" rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities. The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock (generally, according to recent regulations adopted by the SEC, any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions that we no longer meet). For example, brokers/dealers selling such securities must, prior to effecting the transaction, provide their customers with a document that discloses the risks of investing in such securities. Included in this document are the following:

- the bid and offer price quotes in and for the "penny stock," and the number of shares to which the quoted prices apply,

- the brokerage firm's compensation for the trade, and

- the compensation received by the brokerage firm's sales person for the trade.

In addition, the brokerage firm must send the investor:

- a monthly account statement that gives an estimate of the value of each "penny stock" in the investor's account, and

- a written statement of the investor's financial situation and investment goals.

If the person purchasing the securities is someone other than an accredited investor or an established customer of the broker/dealer, the broker/dealer must also approve the potential customer's account by obtaining information concerning the customer's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. The broker/dealer must also make a determination whether the transaction is suitable for the customer and whether the customer has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be reasonably expected to be capable of evaluating the risk of transactions in such securities. Accordingly, the Commission's rules may limit the number of potential purchasers of the shares of our common stock.

Resale restrictions on transferring "penny stocks" are sometimes imposed by some states, which may make transaction in our stock more difficult and may reduce the value of the investment. Various state securities laws pose restrictions on transferring "penny stocks" and as a result, investors in our common stock may have the ability to sell their shares of our common stock impaired.

There can be no assurance we will have market makers in our stock. If the number of market makers in our stock should decline, the liquidity of our common stock could be impaired, not only in the number of shares of common stock which could be bought and sold, but also through possible delays in the timing of transactions, and lower prices for the common stock than might otherwise prevail. Furthermore, the lack of market makers could result in persons being unable to buy or sell shares of the common stock on any secondary market.

We Could Fail to Retain or Attract Key Personnel

Our future success depends in significant part on the continued services of Roger Baylis-Duffield, our President.  We cannot assure you we would be able to find an appropriate replacement for key personnel.  Any loss or interruption of our key personnel's services could adversely affect our ability to develop our business plan.  We have no employment agreements or life insurance on Mr. Duffield.  

Nevada Law and Our Charter May Inhibit a Takeover of Our Company That Stockholders May Consider Favorable

Provisions of Nevada law, such as its business combination statute, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company.  As a result, these provisions could limit the price some investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

Farming and Agriculture Represents a Significant Aspect of our Operations Which Can Be Affected by Adverse Weather Conditions

The manufacture of our products relies on the use of live plant material that requires our production facility to be located adjacent to the source of raw materials. Accordingly, it is impractical in most instances to import raw materials for production in the event natural disasters or adverse weather affects our crops. Hail, drought, flooding and fires are potential risks in our area, any or a combination of which could impact our ability to harvest raw materials and produce our extracts. We have been unable to obtain insurance covering crop failure or business interruption due to weather or disaster in South Africa and therefore do not carry this insurance coverage. As a result, if we are unable to harvest, it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our Primary Operations are in South Africa Which Does Not Presently Have Stable Utilities Infrastructure and Which Also Can Be Affected by Escalating Labor Rates and Other Overhead

Our production facility is located in rural South Africa. In recent years, South Africa in general has suffered from an unstable utilities infrastructure that, as a result, can cause temporary power blackouts. Since our factory is connected to the municipal power grid, a loss of power for an extended period of time can result in the loss of any product currently in production. Repetitive instances of power loss could materially impact our ability to produce finished products and impact our ability to continue as a going concern. We are in the process of installing backup generators to protect against power interruption, but these will not be operational until later in 2016. In addition, the South African legislation has the authority to regulate the wages paid to laborers and, in the past, has increased the base labor rates dramatically and without notice. While most of the labor we use is contracted through third parties, a sudden, significant increase in labor rates could have a short-term effect on our cost to produce finished goods and impact our cash flows.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Also, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures using the COSO integrated framework. Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of DecemberMarch 31, 20152016 to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the requisite evaluation that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
