BANJO & MATILDA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION
All currencies represented in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are in United States Dollars (USD) unless specified as AUD (Australian Dollars).
Banjo and Matilda, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on December 18, 2009 under the name Eastern World Group, Inc. On September 24, 2013, its name was changed to Banjo & Matilda, Inc.
On November 14, 2013, Banjo & Matilda, Inc., entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with Banjo & Matilda, Pty Ltd., a corporation formed under the laws of Australia (the "Company") and the shareholders of the Company. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, at the closing of the transaction contemplated thereunder (the "Transaction"), the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Banjo & Matilda, Inc.
Banjo & Matilda Pty Ltd. was incorporated under the laws of Australia on May 27, 2009 and manufactures and sells cashmere fashion. Headquartered at Bondi Beach, the Aussie lifestyle of sun, sand and surf resonates innately with this label and its philosophy of low maintenance, style and comfort.
Banjo & Matilda USA, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 14, 2013 and is owned 100% by Banjo & Matilda, Inc.
The ultra-soft cashmere staples, pairing simplicity with cool sophistication has rapidly gained loyal customers worldwide positioning the label as the 'go-to' for contemporary cashmere products.
Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the share exchange is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the share exchange is equivalent to the issuance of stock by Banjo & Matilda Pty Ltd. for the net monetary assets of the Banjo & Matilda, Inc. accompanied by a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the share exchange will be identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except no goodwill will be recorded. Under share reverse takeover accounting, the post reverse acquisition comparative historical financial statements of the legal acquirer, Banjo & Matilda, Inc. are those of the legal acquiree, Banjo & Matilda Pty Ltd., which is considered to be the accounting acquirer. Share and per share amounts stated have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the merger.
As a result of the exchange agreement, the reorganization was treated as an acquisition by the accounting acquiree that is being accounted for as a recapitalization and as a reverse merger by the legal acquirer for accounting purposes. Pursuant to the recapitalization, all capital stock shares and amounts and per share data have been retroactively restated. Accordingly, the financial statements include the following:
(1) | The balance sheet consists of the net assets of the accounting acquirer at historical cost and the net assets of the legal acquirer at fair value. | |
(2) | The statements of operations include the operations of the accounting acquirer for the period presented and the operations of the legal acquirer from the date of the merger. |
Note 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP").
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Banjo & Matilda, Inc. ("Banjo" or "the Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries Banjo & Matilda Pty Ltd. and Banjo & Matilda USA, Inc., collectively referred to as the Company. All material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were eliminated in consolidation.
Exchange Gain (Loss)
During the six-month periodnine month periods ended DecemberMarch 31, 2015,2017 and 2016, the transactions of the Company were denominated in US Dollars. Some transactions were denominated in AUD and British pounds for the sales made outside US and for rent paid for the Australian store. Such transactions were converted to US$ on the date of transaction and the exchange gains or losses were recorded in the statement of operations. During the six-month period ended December 31, 2014, the transactions of the Company were denominated in foreign currency and were recorded in Australian dollar (AUD) at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occurred. Exchange gains and losses are recognized for the different foreign exchange rates applied when the foreign currency assets and liabilities are settled.

Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)
During the six-month periodnine month periods ended DecemberMarch 31, 2015,2017 and 2016, the transactions of the Company were denominated in US Dollars. All the transactions which were denominated in other currencies were converted to US$ on the date of settlement and the exchange gains and losses were recorded in the statement of operations. No change was recorded in the comprehensive income (loss). During the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, the accounts of the Company were maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in AUD. Such financial statements were translated into USD with the AUD as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, stockholder's equity is translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the statements of operations. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income as a component of shareholders' equity. There were no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of AUD to USD after the balance sheet date.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include collectability of accounts receivable, accounts payable, sales returns and recoverability of long-term assets.
Reportable Segment
The Company has one reportable segment. The Company's activities are interrelated and each activity is dependent upon and supportive of the other. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based on analysis of financial products provided as a single global business.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. Revenue generally is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists primarily of inventory costs, as well as warehousing costs (including the cost of warehouse labor), shipping, importation duties and charges, third party royalties, and product sampling.
Operating Overhead Expense
Operating overhead expense consists primarily of payroll and benefit related costs, rent, depreciation and amortization, professional services, and meetings and travel.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that were included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company follows FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (codified in FASB ASC Topic 740). When tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income.

At DecemberMarch 31, 20152017 and 2014,2016, the Company had not taken any significant uncertain tax positions on its tax returns for periods ended DecemberMarch 31, 20152017 and prior years or in computing its tax provision for 2015.2016. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by the Company in its Federal and State tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The Company is subject to examination by U.S. Federal and State tax authorities from the period ended June 30, 20122013 to the present, generally for three years after they are filed.
The Company has been behind in filing its payroll tax returns and sales tax returns. The Company has recorded $1,580 as penalties for the late payment of taxes in the accompanying financials.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base across many markets, predominantly Australia, United States of America, United Kingdom, Europe and the Middle East. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited. In addition, Receivables that are factored through the Company's Receivable finance facility are guaranteed by the finance company that further mitigates Credit Risk.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks from, among other things, competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company's management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company's legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.
Cash and Equivalents
Cash and equivalents include cash in hand and cash in demand deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. At DecemberMarch 31, 20152017 and June 30, 2015,2016, the Company had $114,285$6,828 and $362,668$11,056 in cash in Australia and in the United States. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. The allowances for doubtful accounts as of DecemberMarch 31, 20152017 and June 30, 20152016 are $147,870$142,145 and $140,870$147,870 respectively.
Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value and allowance is made to write down inventories to market value, if lower. As of DecemberMarch 31, 20152017 and June 30, 2015,2016, the Company had outstanding balances of Finished Goods Inventory of $133,830$58,770 and $174,792$102,427 respectively.

As of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016, a reserve for Estimated Inventory Charges in the amount of $7,052 was established.
Property, Plant & Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. The estimated useful lives of our property and equipment are generally as follows: computer software developed or acquired for internal use, three to 10 years; computer equipment, two to three years; buildings and improvements, five to 15 years; leasehold improvements, two to 10 years; and furniture and equipment, one to five years.
As of DecemberMarch 31, 20152017 and June 30, 2015,2016, Plant and Equipment consisted of the following:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, "Financial Instruments," defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity," and ASC 815.
As of DecemberMarch 31, 20152017 and June 30, 2015,2016, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic net income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all the potential common shares, warrants and stock options had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted EPS is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for the outstanding options and the if-converted method for the outstanding convertible preferred shares. Under the treasury stock method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Under the if-converted method, convertible outstanding instruments are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later).

Intangible Assets
The Company records identifiable intangible assets at fair value on the date of acquisition and evaluates the useful life of each asset.
Finite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of software development capitalized. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis and are tested for recoverability if events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. These intangibles have useful lives ranging from 1 to 10 years. No events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment existed as of DecemberMarch 31, 2015.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company reported accumulated deficit of $3,504,729 as of December 31, 2015. The Company also incurred net losses of $402,724 and $216,323 for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively and had negative working capital for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. To date, these losses and deficiencies have been financed principally through the loans from related parties and from third parties.
In view of the matters described, there is substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern without a significant infusion of capital. We anticipate that we will have to raise additional capital to fund operations over the next 12 months. To the extent that we are required to raise additional funds to acquire properties, and to cover costs of operations, we intend to do so through additional offerings of debt or equity securities. There are no commitments or arrangements for other offerings in place, no guaranties that any such financings would be forthcoming, or as to the terms of any such financings. Any future financing will involve substantial dilution to existing investors.
Subsequent to the period ended December 31, 2015, the Company entered into an equity line funding agreement with Spider Investments, LLC to sell up to $1,500,000 of our common stock, subject to certain terms and conditions some of which are out of our control, including the (i) filing and obtaining effectiveness of a registration statement registering the issuance of our shares of common stock under the Act to be issued pursuant to the equity line and (ii) certain volume and other trading conditions of our common stock. The Company plans to file the registration statement and to obtain effectiveness thereof as soon as practicable.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15). The guidance in ASU 2014-15 sets forth management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern as well as required disclosures. ASU 2014-15 indicates that, when preparing financial statements for interim and annual financial statements, management should evaluate whether conditions or events, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This evaluation should include consideration of conditions and events that are either known or are reasonably knowable at the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, as well as whether it is probable that management’s plans to address the substantial doubt will be implemented and, if so, whether it is probable that the plans will alleviate the substantial doubt. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods and annual periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (ASU 2015-17), which changes how deferred taxes are classified on the balance sheet and is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2015-17 requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as non-current. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (ASU 2016-01), which requires equity investments that are not accounted for under the equity method of accounting to be measured at fair value with changes recognized in net income and updates certain presentation and disclosure requirements. ASU 2016-01 is effective beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases,” which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases, at the commencement date of each lease. This ASU requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments of this update should be applied using a modified retrospective approach, which requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The guidance simplifies accounting for share-based payments, most notably by requiring all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded as income tax benefits or expense in the income statement and by allowing entities to recognize forfeitures of awards when they occur. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and may be adopted prospectively or retroactively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard would have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” (“ASU 2016-12”), which amends the guidance in the new revenue standard on collectability, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax, and transition. The amendments are intended to address implementation issues and provide additional practical expedients to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the new revenue standard. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, which will be our interim period beginning January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods with that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, regarding ASC Topic 230 “Statement“Statement of Cash Flows.” This update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.
There were no other new accounting pronouncements during the six-monththree month period ended December 31,September 30, 2015 that we believe would have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or cash flow.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate the continuation of the company as a going concern. The Company reported accumulated deficit of $4,826,321 as of March 31, 2017. The Company also incurred net losses of $608,339 and $562,816 for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively and had negative working capital for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. To date, these losses and deficiencies have been financed principally through the loans from related parties and from third parties. In view of the matters described, there is substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern without a significant infusion of capital. We anticipate that we will have to raise additional capital to fund operations over the next 12 months. To the extent that we are required to raise additional funds to acquire properties, and to cover costs of operations, we intend to do so through additional offerings of debt or equity securities. There are no commitments or arrangements for other offerings in place, no guaranties that any such financings would be forthcoming, or as to the terms of any such financings. Any future financing will involve substantial dilution to existing investors.
Note 3 – TRADE RECEIVABLES
Trade receivables consist principally of accounts receivable from sales to small to medium sized businesses, principally in Australia, Europe and the United States. Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents management's estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable, as determined from a review of past due balances and other specific account data. The assessment includes actually incurred historical data as well as current economic conditions. Account balances are written off against the allowance when management determines the receivable is uncollectible.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is objective evidence that the consolidated entity or parent entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable may be impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Trade receivables that are past their normal payment terms are overdue and once 60 days past due are considered delinquent. Minimum payment terms vary by product. The maximum payment term for all products is 90 days. All trade receivables that are overdue are individually assessed for impairment.
The allowances for doubtful accounts as of DecemberMarch 31, 20152017 and June 30, 20152016 are $142,145 and $147,870 and $140,870 respectively.

The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income as a component of shareholders' equity. There were no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of AUD to USD after the balance sheet date.
Summary
Management is pleased with the continued operating improvements after implementing our new digital vertical strategy as outlined in March 2017. See a summary of the revised strategy at the end of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Unit economics and operating metrics continued to improve in the March 2017 quarter, demonstrating the potential of the business model.
The March Q3-17 operating results reflect the revised strategy and demonstrates underlying unit economics which position the company to leverage its new operating platform to efficiently drive profitability.
Revenue
Sales
The Company generated revenue of $133,408 during the three-months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $446,509 for the same period during the prior fiscal year, and $493,450 during the 9 months to March 31 compared to $2,058,876 for the same period during the prior fiscal year. The reduction in sales from is a result of eliminating our low margin wholesale sales channel per our new operating strategy adopted in 2016. While sales were down significantly in the Q3-17 vs Q3-16, the underlying online sales trend strengthened in the current quarter. The March quarter is traditionally the weakest period and online sales were down only marginally compared to the December 2016 quarter, which is traditionally the strongest quarter
Inventory
Management is highly focused on inventory efficiency. The March quarter revenue of $133,408 was generated utilizing an ending inventory value of $51,718 for the period compared to $129,272 ending inventory value in the December 2016 quarter, resulting in a significant (>200%) increase in inventory efficiency, stock turn and sell through. This represents a significant reduction in working capital requirements, and therefore meaningful improvement working capital leverage as the company scales.
Our inventory level remains low, and additional inventory in this quarter would have resulted in meaningfully higher sales (5). Requests by customers to be notified when out-of-stock items come back in-stock reached a peak in this period compared to all prior periods. Based on web site usage data, out of stock notification requests, and historical sales data, management believes sales could have been more than 50% higher during this period.
Repeat vs New customers
61% of sales were from returning customers during the quarter compared to 58% for the same period in the prior year.

Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)
CLV continued to improve through the quarter showing strong repeat purchasing behavior by customers. The top 100 customers have spent on average $4,603 each over their lifetime as a customer of the brand.
Net Promoter Score (NPS)
Our NPS increased 8% points during the quarter to 67% which is in the top 5% of NPS scores in the US (eg Apple 70%, Amazon 69%).
Gross Margins & Gross Profit
Product Margin
In this quarter (Q317) Product Margin was 68% compared to 55% in Q316. This also represents a continued improvement trend from the December 2016 quarter which was 67%.
The continual improvement in the last twelve months has been driven by our pivot to direct to consumer sales away from wholesale (low margin) revenue. We believe this is a sustainable product margin and will result in higher gross profit as other non-core expenses (packaging, duty, and freight) are improved.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased to $81,431 during the three-months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $125,422 for the same period during the prior fiscal year, and $307,931 for the nine-months to March 31, 2017, compared to $648,830 for the same period during the prior fiscal year as a result of lower sales due to the elimination of wholesale sales.
Expenses
Overall operating & financing expenses and overheads for the three-months to March 31 2017 increased by 15% as a result of timing of expenses, from $212,120 to $249,162 compared to the same period prior fiscal year, and reduced by 35% to $625,053 for the nine-months to March 31 2017 compared to $961,764 for the same period the prior fiscal year.
Marketing
There were no marketing related expenses during the quarter compared with $15,666 in the March Q3-16 quarter. With low levels of inventory, sales were driven by organic traffic to the web site(s) driven by referrals, and repeat purchasing from existing customers.

Employment & Staffing down 27.5%
Employment costs reduced as a result due to lower staff requirements inherent in the direct to consumer online model we have adopted, versus the staff and overhead intensive wholesale business model.
Freight & Logistics (including product fulfilment) - F&L improved from 27.4% of sales, to 19% of sales.
F&L costs as a percentage of revenue continues to improve with F&L fulfilment reducing from 27% of sales, to 19%. We expect to be able to decrease this expense over time with better shipping rates, higher levels of inventory in both our US and Australian fulfilment centres so that we incur less international freight costs when we are out of stock of an item in each country, and lower packaging costs.
Occupancy down 58%
Occupancy decreased as a result of lower staffing levels, and therefore less space required.
Outside services down 51%
Outside services costs were reduced by $22,380 as a result of less need for outside support in the new model and change in staffing levels.
Administrative costs down 42%
This $54,459 improvement was primarily driven by wage and outside service cost reduction.
Corporate expenses down 61% Due to savings in banking expenses and reduction in consulting expenses and a $5,725 improvement to our provision for doubtful debts total corporate expenses were reduced by $18,569
Financing costs
Financing and interest costs increased $9,507 to $88,444 vs $78,937 for the same quarter last year as a result of an increased level of debt.
Profit
Profit from operations
Operating Loss before corporate & public company related expenses, interest and financing costs and amortization expense for the three-months to March 31 2017 $137,996 vs $54,097 for the same period prior fiscal year, and increased marginally to $375,750 for the nine-months to March 31, 2017 from $349,422 for the same period the prior fiscal year. While operating profit decreased, it decreased less than the proportion of sales decrease underscoring the improvements in above line margins and unit economics improvements.

LIQUIDITY ANDand CAPITAL RESOURCES
We had a working capital deficit of $1,377,857 at December$3,093,199 as of March 31, 2015.2017. We will continue to borrow to acquire inventory and fund sales. The rates at which we can acquire funds will directly impact our ability to operate profitably and generate positive cash flow. In addition to relying upon debt, we will seek to raise equity to support our efforts to grow. There is no assurance that debt or equity financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all, and, in all events, the sale of equity or instruments convertible into equity will dilute the interests of our current shareholders. Future equity financings may be dilutive to our stockholders. Alternative forms of future financings may include preferences or rights superior to our common stock. Debt financings may involve a pledge of assets and will rank senior to our common stock. We have historically financed our operations through best-efforts private equity and debt financings. We do not have any credit or equity facilities available with financial institutions, stockholders or third party investors, and will continue to rely on best efforts financings. The failure to raise sufficient capital could cause us to cease operations.
Subsequent to the period ended December 31, 2015, the Company entered into an equity line funding agreement with Spider Investments, LLC to sell up to $1,500,000 of our common stock, subject to certain terms and conditions some of which are out of our control, including the (i) filing and obtaining effectiveness of a registration statement registering the issuance of our shares of common stock under the Act to be issued pursuant to the equity line and (ii) certain volume and other trading conditions of our common stock. The Company plans to file the registration statement within 30 days from the date hereof and to obtain effectiveness thereof as soon as practicable.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable as the Company is a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that 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 specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also 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.
At the end of the period covered by this report we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Brendan Macpherson, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation included an evaluation of our financial controls. Since our Chief Executive Officer also serves as our Chief Financial Officer and we do not have financial and accounting personnel thoroughly familiar with U.S. GAAP and U.S. securities laws and regulations, we have a deficiency in our financial controls. This deficiency in our financial controls and procedures constitutes a deficiency in our disclosure controls and procedures in that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified for each report and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. This deficiency will not be considered remediated until we hire accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge and experience concerning U.S. GAAP and the U.S. securities laws.
b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
