(3) | The proposed maximum offering price per share and the proposed maximum aggregate offering price have been estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act of 1933 on the basis of the average of the high and low prices of the common stock on the OTCQB on September 30, 2016, a date within five trading days prior to the date of the filing of this registration statement. | |

The registrant hereby amends this registration statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this registration statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the registration statement shall become effective on such date as the Commission, acting pursuant to said section 8(a), may determine.
Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Prospectus relating to the securities registered under this Registration Statement also relates to the registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration Nos. 333-209774) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2016.
The information in this Prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This Prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.
PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS | SUBJECT TO COMPLETION | DATED October 7, 2016 |
8,444,280 Shares of Common Stock
XFIT BRANDS, INC.
This Prospectus relates to the resale of up to 3,800,000 shares of the common stock of XFit Brands, Inc., a Nevada corporation, by GHS Investments, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“GHS”), a selling shareholder, pursuant to a Put Notice(s) under an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) that we have entered into with GHS. The Investment Agreement permits us to sell shares of our common stock to GHS by enabling us to put up to $5 million of common stock to GHS. The registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part covers the offer and possible sale of approximately $288,000 in common stock by GHS based on our September 30, 2016 closing market price of $0.09 per share. This Prospectus also relates to the resale of up to 2,544,280 shares of our common stock by PIMCO Funds: Private Account Portfolio Series: PIMCO High Yield Portfolio (“PIMCO”) to be issued upon exercise of a warrant issued to PIMCO to purchase an amount of shares of our common stock equal to ten percent (10%) of all shares of common stock then outstanding, at an exercise price of $1,500,000 for the full 10% of our common stock ($150,000 for each one-percent of common stock purchased), which expires on June 12, 2024, and 2,100,000 shares of our common stock by Kodiak Capital Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Kodiak”), which we previously put to Kodiak under a prior Equity Purchase Agreement which has been terminated by us prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of these shares of common stock offered by GHS, Kodiak or PIMCO. However, we will receive proceeds from the sale of securities pursuant to each Put Notice we send to GHS and we will receive up to $1,500,000 upon full exercise of the warrant by PIMCO. We will bear all costs associated with this registration.
The total amount of shares of common stock which may be sold to GHS pursuant to this Prospectus would constitute approximately 30% of our issued and outstanding common stock as of September 30, 2016, if all of the shares had been sold by that date. On September 30, 2016, the lowest trading price of our common stock was $0.09. Based on that price, and disregarding limitations on the number of shares GHS may hold at any given time and the maximum advance provisions of the Investment Agreement, the maximum number of shares of common stock which may be sold would be 3,800,000 shares, representing approximately 13.2% of the outstanding common stock if all shares were sold by that date.
GHS and Kodiak are “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with the resale of our common stock under their respective agreements with the Company. GHS will pay us the lower of (a) the lowest sale price of our common stock on the trading day following the date of our notice to GHS of our election to put shares pursuant to their Investment Agreement (the “Purchase Date”) and (b) the arithmetic average of the three lowest trading prices during the five trading days following the Purchase Date. The maximum number of shares that can be put to GHS is two times the average daily trading volume during the ten trading days prior to the Purchase Date. If the amount of the tranche exceeds the volume limitation, additional tranches will be delivered until the entire purchase amount is delivered. Each tranche, including the initial tranche, will trigger a new purchase price, and will be priced according to the purchase price definition.
There are no underwriting agreements in place.
Our shares of common stock are currently quoted on the OTC Markets Group (OTC.QB Tier) under the symbol “XFTB.” The closing price of our common stock on September 30, 2016 was $0.09.
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before buying any shares, you should carefully read the discussion of material risks of investing in our common stock in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6 of this Prospectus.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of anyone’s investment in these securities or determined if this Prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The Date of This Prospectus Is: _____________, 2016

Some of the statements contained in this Registration Statement are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 (the“Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the“Exchange Act”). The safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 does not apply to an issuer of penny stock, such as the Company. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our expectations and projections about future events and financial trends affecting the financial condition and/or operating results of our business. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties; particularly those risks and related to the development, manufacturing and sale of alternative fuel vehicles. There are important factors that could cause actual results to be substantially different from the results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Except as required by law, we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

General
XFit Brands, Inc. was incorporated in September 2014 under the laws of the State of Nevada. As used herein, the terms “we,” “us,” “XFIT,” and the “Company” refer to XFIT Brands, Inc. and its predecessors, subsidiaries, and affiliates, collectively, unless the context indicates otherwise. Our fiscal year end is June 30. Our principal office address is 25731 Commercentre Drive, Lake Forest, CA 92630 and our telephone number is (949) 916-9680.
Our principal business activity is the design, development, and worldwide marketing and selling of functional equipment, training gear, apparel, and accessories for the impact sports market and fitness industry. Our mission is to become a leading developer and marketer of functional fitness brands and products at retail and fitness outlets worldwide. Our products span the Impact Sports, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), High and low impact fitness and Cross Training, and other Action Sports and are marketed and sold under the Throwdown®, XFit Brands®, and Transformations™ brand names, which along with certain trade secrets are protected worldwide. Our products are marketed and sold through a range of different channels including gyms, fitness facilities, and directly to consumers via our internet website and through third party catalogues (which we refer to as our “Direct to Consumer”) through a mix of independent distributors and licensees throughout the world. All of our products are manufactured by a network of independent manufacturers, which satisfy our strict quality requirements. Virtually all apparel products are produced outside the United States, while equipment products are produced both in the United States and abroad.
We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with the requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and the exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We intend to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company.
2 |
Following this offering, we will continue to be an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of (1) the last day of the fiscal year during which we had total annual gross revenues of at least $1 billion (as indexed for inflation), (2) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of our initial public offering (February 11, 2015), (3) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt and (4) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer,” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (which we refer to as the “Exchange Act”).
We also qualify as a “smaller reporting company” under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, which is defined as a company with a public equity float of less than $75 million. To the extent that we remain a smaller reporting company at such time as we are no longer an emerging growth company, we will still have reduced disclosure requirements for our public filings, some of which are similar to those of an emerging growth company, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements.
Under U.S. federal securities legislation, our common stock could be “penny stock.” Penny stock is any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a potential investor’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve an investor’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person, and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, before any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination. Brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities, and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Background
Our company was founded in 2003 under the Throwdown name. Our initial focus was for development and sale of ramps for Action sports (Skate, Moto, other) and training and competition cages for the Mixed Martial Arts (“MMA”) industry and thereafter expanded into development and sales of training and protective gear for the MMA industry. In the past year, we have begun commercializing a significantly broader portfolio of cross training, fitness and other products capitalizing on the growth of the fitness, training, and exercise industry that has significantly expanded our business. In September 2014, we formed XFit Brands, Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TD Legacy, LLC to act as a holding company for our Throwdown operations. TD Legacy distributed the shares of XFit Brands held by it to its members on February 13, 2015 and then dissolved on September 22, 2015.

On November 26, 2014, we filed a registration statement for the distribution of 4,000,000 shares of our common stock then held by TD Legacy, LLC, our parent company on such date, to TD Legacy members as a liquidating distribution (the “Distribution”). The registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 9, 2015 and the Distribution occurred on February 13, 2015. TD Legacy, LLC was dissolved on September 22, 2015.
On March 28, 2016, the Board of Directors approved a 1-for-5 forward split of its outstanding shares of common stock (and proportional increase of its authorized common stock from 250 million shares to 1.25 billion shares) with a record date of April 14, 2016 and an effective date of April 15, 2016. Prior to the split, the Company had 4,118,500 shares issued and outstanding and after the split, the Company had 20,592,500 shares issued and outstanding. All references in this Prospectus to numbers of shares, and share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the 1-for-5 forward split, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

GHS Investment Agreement
This Prospectus relates to the resale of up to 3,800,000 shares of our common stock by GHS pursuant to a Put Notice(s) under the Investment Agreement. GHS will obtain our common stock pursuant to the Investment Agreement entered into by GHS and us, dated August 12, 2016.
Although we are not mandated to sell shares under the Investment Agreement, the Investment Agreement gives us the option to sell to GHS, up to $5,000,000 worth of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Shares”), over the period following effectiveness of the registration of which this Prospectus forms a part (the “Effective Date”) and ending thirty-six (36) months after the Effective Date. Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, we have the right to deliver from time to time a Put Notice to GHS stating the dollar amount of Put Shares (up to $500,000 under any individual Put Notice)(the “Put Amount”) that we intend to sell to GHS with the price per share based on the following formula: the lesser of (a) the lowest sale price for the Common Stock on the date of the Put Notice (the “Put Notice Date”); or (b) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest trading prices for the Company’s Common Stock during the five trading days following the Put Notice Date. The maximum number of shares that can be put to GHS is two times the average daily trading volume during the ten trading days prior to the closing of a put (the “Closing Date”). If the amount of the tranche of our outstanding shares exceeds the volume limitation, additional tranches will be delivered until the entire Purchase Amount is delivered. Each tranche, including the initial tranche, will trigger a new purchase price, and will be priced according to the purchase price definition. At the date of filing, we may not obtain the full $5,000,000 in funding based on the 3,800,000 shares being registered under this Registration Statement if the price of our common stock does not increase (and stay above) to $1.32, an increase of approximately 13,620% from the $0.09 market price on October 3, 2016. The $5,000,000 was stated as the total amount of available funding in the Investment Agreement because this was the maximum amount that GHS agreed to offer us in funding. There is no assurance that the market price of our common stock will increase in the future. Based on our stock price as of October 3, 2016, the registration statement covers the offer and possible sale under put notices of approximately $342,000 worth of our shares at a market price of $0.09.
In addition, there is an ownership limit for GHS of 9.99% of our outstanding shares.
On any Closing Date, we shall deliver to GHS the number of shares of the Common Stock registered in the name of GHS as specified in the Put Notice. In addition, we must deliver the other required documents, instruments and writings required. GHS is not required to purchase the shares unless:
● | Our Registration Statement with respect to the resale of the shares of Common Stock delivered in connection with the applicable Put shall have been declared effective. | |
● | at all times during the period beginning on the date of the Put Notice and ending on the date of the related closing, our common stock has been listed on the Principal Market as defined in the Investment Agreement (which includes, among others, the OTC Market: QB Tier) and shall not have been suspended from trading thereon. | |
● | we have complied with its obligations and is otherwise not in breach of or in default under the Investment Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or any other agreement executed in connection therewith; | |
● | no injunction has been issued and remains in force, and no action has been commenced by a governmental authority which has not been stayed or abandoned, prohibiting the purchase or the issuance of the Put Shares; and | |
● | the issuance of the Put Shares will not violate any shareholder approval requirements of the market or exchange on which our common stock is principally listed. |
GHS will not engage in any “short-sale” (as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO) of our common stock at any time during this Agreement. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement with GHS, we agreed to pay a fee equaling $250,000 or 5% of the Commitment Amount (the“Commitment Fee”) which shall be paid in installments of Fifty Thousand ($50,000) beginning on the earlier of (i) the Effective Date of this Registration Statement and (ii) January 1, 2017 and, the first Trading Day of each January, April, July and October thereafter until fully paid. Each installment of the Commitment Fee shall be paid either in cash or, at the election of the Company, in shares of Common Stock, which shall be deemed a put under the Investment Agreement. On August 12 2016, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with GHS requiring, among other things that we prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of the shares issuable to GHS under the Investment Agreement. As per the Investment Agreement, GHS’ obligations are not assignable.

PIMCO Warrant
On June 12, 2014, Throwdown Industries Holdings, LLC issued a warrant to purchase 10% of its equity at an exercise price of $1.5 million to PIMCO in consideration of the issuance of the delayed draw note payable to PIMCO in June 2014. The issuance was exempt under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We assumed all obligations under this warrant on November 26, 2014 and on November 26, 2014, we issued PIMCO a new warrant to purchase 10% of our equity at an exercise price of $1.5 million in exchange for the warrant originally issued by Throwdown Industries Holdings, LLC, which warrant was cancelled. Standard piggyback registration rights were provided under the warrant.
This Prospectus relates to the resale of up to 2,754,281 shares of our common stock by PIMCO upon exercise of the warrant held by them described above (which takes into account the shares of common stock issuable to GHS under their Investment Agreement being registered hereunder).
Kodiak Equity Purchase Agreement
This Prospectus relates to the resale of 2,100,000 shares of our common stock by Kodiak that were pursuant to a Put Notice(s) under an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Kodiak Agreement”) entered into by Kodiak and us, dated December 17, 2014. The Kodiak Agreement provided that we could put to them shares of common stock priced at 75% of the lowest closing bid price during the five trading days following the delivery of the put notice.

The following is a summary of the risk factors that we believe are most relevant to our business. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider the following to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties. We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
RISK FACTORS RELATED TO THE OFFERING
Existing stockholders may experience significant dilution from the sale of our common stock pursuant to the GHS Investment Agreement.
The sale of our common stock to GHS in accordance with the Investment Agreement may have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. As a result, our net income per share could decrease in future periods and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we exercise our put options, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to GHS in order to exercise a put under the Investment Agreement. If our stock price decreases, then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution for any given dollar amount raised through the Offering.
The perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares, which may cause a decline in the price of our common stock. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common stock.
The issuance of shares pursuant to the GHS Investment Agreement may have a significant dilutive effect.
Depending on the number of shares we issue pursuant to the Investment Agreement, it could have a significant dilutive effect upon our existing stockholders. Although the number of shares that we may issue pursuant to the Investment Agreement will vary based on our stock price (the higher our stock price, the less shares we have to issue) the information set out below indicates the potential dilutive effect to our stockholders, based on different potential future stock prices, if the full amount of the Purchase Agreement is realized.
Dilution based upon common stock put to GHS and the stock price discounted to GHS purchase price equal to the lower of the (a) lowest trading price on the date of the Put Notice and (ii) the average of the three lowest trades during the five days following the Put Notice. The example below illustrates dilution based upon a $.07 market price (on October 3, 2016 and other increased/decreased prices (without regard to GHS’ 9.99% ownership limit):

GHS has entered into similar agreements with other public companies and may not have sufficient capital to meet our put notices.
GHS has entered into similar investment agreements with other public companies, and some of those companies have filed registration statements with the intent of registering shares to be sold to GHS pursuant to such investment agreements. We do not know if management at any of the companies who have or will have effective registration statements intend to raise funds now or in the future, what the size or frequency of each put request would be, if floors will be used to restrict the number of shares sold, or if the investment agreement will ultimately be cancelled or expire before the entire number of shares are put to GHS. Since we do not have any control over the requests of these other companies, if GHS receives significant requests, it may not have the financial ability to meet our requests. If so, the amount of available funds may be significantly less than we anticipate.
We are registering an aggregate of 3,800,000 shares of common stock to be issued under the GHS Investment Agreement. The sale of such shares could depress the market price of our common stock.
We are registering an aggregate of 3,800,000 shares of common stock under the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part for issuance pursuant to the GHS Investment Agreement. The sale of these shares into the public market by GHS could depress the market price of our common stock.
We May Not Have Access to the Full Amount under the Investment Agreement.
The lowest trading price of our common stock was $0.09 on September 30, 2016. There is no assurance that the market price of our common stock will increase from its current level (and stay above) $1.32, which is the price required for us to obtain the full $5 million under our agreement with GHS based on the 3,800,000 shares being registered. The entire commitment under the Investment Agreement is for $5,000,000. Therefore, we may not have access to the remaining commitment under the Investment Agreement under this Registration Statement if the share price of our common stock does not increase by approximately 1,467% from the market price on October 3, 2016.
Since our common stock is thinly traded it is more susceptible to extreme rises or declines in price, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price paid.
Since our common stock is thinly traded its trading price is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to extreme fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including (but not necessarily limited to):
● | the trading volume of our shares; | |
● | the number of securities analysts, market-makers and brokers following our common stock; | |
● | changes in, or failure to achieve, financial estimates by securities analysts; | |
● | new products or services introduced or announced by us or our competitors; | |
● | actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results; | |
● | conditions or trends in our business industries; | |
● | announcements by us of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; | |
● | additions or departures of key personnel; | |
● | sales of our common stock and | |
● | general stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly-traded, and particularly microcap, companies. |

Investors may have difficulty reselling shares of our common stock, either at or above the price they paid for our stock, or even at fair market value. The stock markets often experience significant price and volume changes that are not related to the operating performance of individual companies, and because our common stock is thinly traded it is particularly susceptible to such changes. These broad market changes may cause the market price of our common stock to decline regardless of how well we perform as a company. In addition, there is a history of securities class action litigation following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities. Although there is no such litigation currently pending or threatened against the Company, such a suit against us could result in the incursion of substantial legal fees, potential liabilities and the diversion of management’s attention and resources from our business. Moreover, and as noted below, our shares are currently quoted on the OTC Link (OTC.QB tier) and, further, are subject to the penny stock regulations. Price fluctuations in such shares are particularly volatile and subject to manipulation by market-makers, short-sellers and option traders.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
Expanding our brand into new categories or territories may be difficult and expensive, and if we are unable to successfully expand into these categories or territories as expected, our brand may be adversely affected, and we may not achieve our planned sales growth.
Our growth strategy includes the expansion of our brand into new categories or territories, including the fitness, training, and exercise industry. Products that we or our licensees introduce in these new markets may not be successful with the consumers we target. Our brand may also fall out of favor with our current customer base as we expand our products into new markets. In addition, if we, or our licensees, are unable to anticipate, identify or react appropriately to evolving consumer preferences, our sporting goods equipment sales and license revenues may not grow as fast as we plan or may decline and our brand image may suffer.
Achieving market acceptance for new products will likely require us to exert substantial product development and marketing efforts, which could result in a material increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue. There can be no assurance that we will have the resources necessary to undertake these efforts or that these efforts will sufficiently increase our sporting goods equipment sales and license revenues. Material increases in our selling, general and administrative expenses could adversely impact our results of operations.
Our products face intense competition.
XFIT is a fitness products company and the relative popularity of various sports and fitness activities and changing design trends affect the demand for our products. The fitness industry is highly competitive in the United States and on a worldwide basis. We compete with a significant number of other product, equipment, and apparel suppliers to the fitness industry, many of whom have:
● | significantly greater financial resources than us; | |
● | more comprehensive product lines; | |
● | longer-standing relationships with suppliers, manufacturers and retailers; | |
● | broader distribution capabilities; | |
● | stronger brand recognition and loyalty than we have, and | |
● | the ability to invest substantially more on product advertising and sales. |
Our competitors’ greater capabilities in the above areas may enable them to better differentiate their products from ours, gain stronger brand loyalty, withstand periodic downturns in the apparel and fitness equipment and product industries, compete more effectively on the basis of price and production, and more quickly develop new products.

Failure to maintain our reputation and brand image could negatively impact our business.
Our brand has international recognition, and our success depends on our ability to maintain and enhance our brand image and reputation. We could be adversely impacted if our brand is tarnished or receives negative publicity. In addition, adverse publicity about regulatory or legal action against us could damage our reputation and brand image, undermine consumer confidence in us, and reduce long-term demand for our products, even if the regulatory or legal action is unfounded or not material to our operations.
In addition, our success in maintaining, extending, and expanding our brand image depends on our ability to adapt to a rapidly changing media environment, including our increasing reliance on social media and online dissemination of advertising campaigns. Negative posts or comments about us on social networking websites could seriously damage our reputation and brand image. If we do not maintain, extend, and expand our brand image, then our product sales, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Failure to obtain high quality endorsers of our products could harm our business.
We establish relationships with professional athletes and sports leagues and associations to develop, evaluate, and promote our products, as well as establish product authenticity with consumers. If certain endorsers were to stop using our products, our business could be adversely affected. In addition, actions taken by either the athletes or the sports leagues and associations associated with our products that harm the reputations of those athletes, could also seriously harm our brand image with consumers and, as a result, could have an adverse effect on our sales and financial condition. In addition, poor performance by our endorsers, a failure to continue to correctly identify promising athletes or sports leagues and associations to use and endorse our products, or a failure to enter into cost-effective endorsement arrangements with prominent athletes could adversely affect our brand, sales, and profitability.
Failure of our licensing partners to preserve the value of our licenses could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The risks associated with our own products also apply to our licensed products in addition to any number of possible risks specific to a licensing partner’s business, including, for example, risks associated with a particular licensing partner’s ability to do the following:
● | obtain capital; | |
● | manage its labor relations; | |
● | maintain relationships with its suppliers; | |
● | maintain the quality and marketability of products bearing our trademarks; | |
● | manage its credit risk effectively; | |
● | meet its financial obligations to us; and | |
● | maintain relationships with its customers. |
The failure of our licensing partners to successfully operate their businesses or to perform in a manner consistent with our desired business practices could result in a decrease in our revenues generated from sales of our licensed products and the loss of goodwill which could impact our financial results and cause a material adverse effect on our business.

Third parties may claim that we are infringing their intellectual property rights, and these claims may be costly to defend, may require us to pay licensing fees, damages, or other amounts, and may prevent, or otherwise impose limitations on the manufacture, distribution or sale of our products.
From time to time, third parties may claim that we are infringing on their intellectual property rights, and we may be found to infringe those intellectual property rights. While we do not believe that any of our products infringe the valid intellectual property rights of third parties, we may be unaware of the intellectual property rights of others that may cover some of our current or planned new products. If we are forced to defend against third party claims, whether or not the claims are resolved in our favor, we could encounter expensive and time consuming litigation which could divert our management and key personnel from business operations. If we are found to be infringing on the intellectual property rights of others, we may be required to pay damages or ongoing royalty payments, or comply with other unfavorable terms. Additionally, if we are found to be infringing on the intellectual property rights of others, we may not be able to obtain license agreements on terms acceptable to us, and this may prevent us from manufacturing, marketing or selling our products. Thus, these third party claims may significantly reduce the sales of our products or increase our cost of goods sold. Any reductions in sales or cost increases could be significant, and could have a material and adverse effect on our business.
Our business is affected by seasonality, which could result in fluctuations in our operating results.
We experience moderate fluctuations in aggregate sales volume during the year. Historically, revenues in the first and fourth calendar quarters have slightly exceeded those in the second and third calendar quarters. However, the mix of product sales may vary considerably from time to time as a result of changes in seasonal and geographic demand for particular types of apparel and equipment. In addition, our customers may cancel orders, change delivery schedules, or change the mix of products ordered with minimal notice. As a result, we may not be able to accurately predict our quarterly sales. Accordingly, our results of operations are likely to fluctuate significantly from period to period. This seasonality, along with other factors that are beyond our control, including general economic conditions, changes in consumer preferences, weather conditions, availability of import quotas, and currency exchange rate fluctuations, could adversely affect our business and cause our results of operations to fluctuate. Our operating margins are also sensitive to a number of additional factors that are beyond our control, including manufacturing and transportation costs, shifts in product sales mix, and geographic sales trends, all of which we expect to continue. Results of operations in any period should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.
Failure to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our business.
We utilize trademarks on nearly all of our products and believe that having distinctive marks that are readily identifiable is an important factor in creating a market for our goods, in identifying us, and in distinguishing our goods from the goods of others. We consider our XFit Brands®, Throwdown®, and Transformations™ trademarks to be among our most valuable intangible assets. Throwdown®, for example is registered in thirty-nine (39) countries.
We believe that our trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual property rights are important to our brand, our success, and our competitive position. In the future, we may encounter counterfeit reproductions of our products or that otherwise infringe on our intellectual property rights. If we are unsuccessful in challenging a party’s products on the basis of trade secret misappropriation or trademark, or other intellectual property infringement, continued sales of these products could adversely affect our sales and our brand and result in the shift of consumer preference away from our products.
The actions we take to establish and protect trademarks, and other intellectual property rights may not be adequate to prevent imitation of our products by others or to prevent others from seeking to block sales of our products as violations of proprietary rights.
We take various actions to prevent confidential information from unauthorized use and/or disclosure. Such actions include contractual measures such as entering into non-disclosure agreements. Our controls and efforts to prevent unauthorized use and/or disclosure of confidential information might not always be effective.
In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect or allow enforcement of intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. We may face significant expenses and liability in connection with the protection of our intellectual property rights outside the United States, and if we are unable to successfully protect our rights or resolve intellectual property conflicts with others, our business or financial condition may be adversely affected.
11 |
Potential liability exposure in our equipment business may have a material adverse effect on the consumer demand for our products.
Our equipment is exposed to an inherent risk of potential product liability claims as MMA, boxing, and fitness training are high-risk activities that involves physical contact. A judgment against us due to an alleged failure or defects of our equipment could lead to substantial damage awards. We currently maintain product liability and excess liability insurance with maximum coverage of one million dollars ($1,000,000) and one million dollars ($1,000,000), respectively, for each occurrence. If a successful claim is brought against us in excess of, or outside of, our insurance coverage, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition. Although we invest resources in research and development and every attempt is made to ensure the safety of our products, claims against us may arise and, regardless of their merit or eventual outcome, these claims may have a material adverse effect on the consumer demand for our products.
We are subject to data security and privacy risks that could negatively affect our results, operations or reputation.
Hackers and data thieves are increasingly sophisticated and operate large-scale and complex automated attacks. Any breach of our network may result in the loss of valuable business data, misappropriation of our consumers’ or employees’ personal information, or a disruption of our business, which could give rise to unwanted media attention, materially damage our customer relationships and reputation, and result in lost sales, fines, or lawsuits.
Failure of our contractors or our licensees’ contractors to comply with local laws, and other standards could harm our business.
We work with third party contractors to manufacture our products, and we also have license agreements that permit unaffiliated parties to manufacture or contract for the manufacture of products using our intellectual property. From time to time, the contractors that manufacture our products and our licensees that make products using our intellectual property may not comply with applicable environmental, health, or safety standards for the benefit of workers, or other applicable local laws, or our licensees may fail to enforce such standards or applicable local law on their contractors. Significant or continuing noncompliance with such standards and laws by one or more contractors could harm our reputation or result in a product recall and, as a result, could have an adverse effect on our sales and financial condition.
We rely on third party contract manufacturers.
Our equipment and apparel are supplied by approximately nine (9) factories located in three (3) countries. We do not own or operate any of our own manufacturing facilities and depend upon independent contract manufacturers to manufacture all of the products we sell. Our ability to meet our customers’ needs depends on our ability to maintain a steady supply of products from our independent contract manufacturers. If one or more of our suppliers were to close or sever their relationship with us or significantly alter the terms of our relationship, we may not be able to obtain replacement products in a timely manner, which could have a material adverse effect on our sales, financial condition, or results of operations. Additionally, if any of our contract manufacturers fail to make timely shipments, do not meet our quality standards, or otherwise fail to deliver us product in accordance with our plans, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We depend on key personnel, the loss of whom would harm our business.
Our future success will depend in part on the continued service of key executive officers and personnel. We do not currently have employment agreements with any of our executive officers. The loss of the services of any key individual could harm our business. Our future success also depends on our ability to recruit, retain, and motivate our personnel sufficiently, both to maintain our current business and to execute our strategic initiatives. Competition for employees in our industry is intense and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.
12 |
We may incur significant costs to be a public company to ensure compliance with U.S. corporate governance and accounting requirements and we may not be able to absorb such costs.
We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect these costs to approximate at least $100,000 per year, consisting of at least $55,000 in legal, $40,000 in audit, and $5,000 for financial printing and transfer agent fees. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We may not be able to cover these costs from our operations and may need to raise or borrow additional funds. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. In addition, we may not be able to absorb these costs of being a public company which will negatively affect our business operations.
However, for as long as we remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We intend to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.”
We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” as of the following June 30.
We are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
We expect our quarterly results to fluctuate, which may adversely affect our stock price.
We expect that our quarterly results will fluctuate significantly. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not meaningful. Additionally, if our operating results in one or more quarters do not meet securities analysts’ or your expectations, the price of our common stock could decrease.
Failure to raise additional capital to fund future operations could harm our business and results of operations.
As of June 30, 2016, we had a cash balance of $6,829, a working capital deficit of $674,956 and an accumulated deficit of $7,793,257. In addition, for the year ended June 30, 2016, we have incurred losses from operations of $1,213,529 and a net loss of $1,782,766. We believe that we are able to fund our immediate operations, working capital requirements, and debt service requirements with existing working capital, cash flows generated from operations, our new factoring arrangement and additional borrowings under our delayed draw note. However, we will likely require additional financing in order to fully implement our business plans and strategy, including any product acquisition or expansion plans. In August 2016 we entered into a new investment agreement with GHS which could potentially provide up to $5 million in additional financing over the three-year term of the GHS Investment Agreement. In the event that our cash flows from operations are insufficient to fund our operations, working capital requirements, and debt service requirements, we would need to raise additional capital, either by borrowing more money, if possible, or by selling our securities or seeking out joint venture opportunities. Any additional borrowing or significant capital expenditures may require the written consent of the PIMCO Fund. We may not be successful in raising additional financing as and when we need it. If we are unable to obtain additional financing in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms, our operating results and prospects could be adversely affected.
13 |
If our costs and expenses are greater than anticipated and we are unable to raise additional working capital, we may be unable to fully fund our operations and to otherwise execute our business plan.
Should our costs and expenses prove to be greater than we currently anticipate, or should we change our current business plan in a manner that will increase or accelerate our anticipated costs and expenses, the depletion of our working capital would be accelerated. To the extent it becomes necessary for us to raise additional cash in the future as our current cash and working capital resources are depleted, we will seek to raise it through the public or private sale of debt or equity securities, funding from joint-venture or strategic partners, debt financing or short-term loans, or a combination of the foregoing. We may also seek to satisfy indebtedness without any cash outlay through the private issuance of debt or equity securities. Other than our delayed draw note with the PIMCO Fund, our factoring arrangement with Crown Financial, LLC and our Investment Agreement with GHS, we currently do not have any binding commitments for, or readily available sources of, additional financing. We cannot give you any assurance that we will be able to secure the additional cash or working capital we may require to continue our operations.
If we were unable to satisfy our obligations under our delayed draw note, our business would be adversely affected.
We have issued a senior secured promissory note in the amount of $2,712,787, which is secured by all of our assets. This promissory note is due on July 12, 2017. If we were unable to pay this debt at maturity or if we otherwise default on our obligations thereunder, the PIMCO Fund could exercise its rights and remedies under the promissory note and related note purchase agreement and security agreement, which could include foreclosing on all of our assets. Any such action would have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.
If our costs and expenses are greater than anticipated and we are unable to raise additional working capital, we may be unable to fully fund our operations and to otherwise execute our business plan.
Should our costs and expenses prove to be greater than we currently anticipate, or should we change our current business plan in a manner that will increase or accelerate our anticipated costs and expenses, the depletion of our working capital would be accelerated. To the extent it becomes necessary for us to raise additional cash in the future as our current cash and working capital resources are depleted, we will seek to raise it through the public or private sale of debt or equity securities, funding from joint-venture or strategic partners, debt financing or short-term loans, or a combination of the foregoing. We may also seek to satisfy indebtedness without any cash outlay through the private issuance of debt or equity securities. Other than our delayed draw note with the PIMCO Fund, our factoring arrangement with Crown Financial, LLC and our Investment Agreement with GHS, we currently do not have any binding commitments for, or readily available sources of, additional financing. We cannot give you any assurance that we will be able to secure the additional cash or working capital we may require to continue our operations.
If we require additional capital and even if we are able to raise additional financing, we might not be able to obtain it on terms that are not unduly expensive or burdensome to the company or disadvantageous to our existing stockholders.
If we require additional capital and even if we are able to raise additional cash or working capital through the public or private sale of debt or equity securities, funding from joint-venture or strategic partners, debt financing or short-term loans, or the satisfaction of indebtedness without any cash outlay through the private issuance of debt or equity securities, the terms of such transactions may be unduly expensive or burdensome to us or disadvantageous to our existing stockholders. For example, we may be forced to sell or issue our securities at significant discounts to market, or pursuant to onerous terms and conditions, including the issuance of preferred stock with disadvantageous dividend, voting or veto, board membership, conversion, redemption or liquidation provisions; the issuance of convertible debt with disadvantageous interest rates and conversion features; the issuance of warrants with cashless exercise features; the issuance of securities with anti-dilution provisions; and the grant of registration rights with significant penalties for the failure to quickly register. If we raise debt financing, we may be required to secure the financing with all of our business assets, which could be sold or retained by the creditor should we default in our payment obligations.
14 |
We are obligated to develop and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting. We may not complete our analysis of our internal control over financial reporting in a timely manner, or these internal controls may not be determined to be effective, which may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.
We are required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment includes disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting, as well as a statement that our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
Complying with Section 404 requires a rigorous compliance program as well as adequate time and resources. As a result of developing, improving and expanding our core information technology systems as well as implementing new systems to support our sales, engineering, supply chain and manufacturing activities, all of which require significant management time and support, we may not be able to complete our internal control evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. Additionally, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable to assert that our internal controls are effective. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which would have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES
You may not be able to sell your shares if you need money.
Our common stock is traded on the OTC Markets (QB Marketplace Tier), an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities. During the three months preceding the date of this Prospectus, the average daily trading volume of our common stock was approximately 26,028 shares. We consider our common stock to be “thinly traded” and any last reported sale prices may not be a true market-based valuation of the common stock. Stockholders may experience difficulty selling their shares if they choose to do so because of the illiquid market and limited public float for our common stock.
We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which stockholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interests and similar matters.
We have not yet adopted any corporate governance measures and, since our securities are not yet listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required to do so. We have not adopted corporate governance measures such as an audit or other independent committees of our board of directors as we presently do not have a sufficient number of independent directors. In the future, we may seek to establish an audit and other committees of our board of directors. It is possible that if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.

Outstanding shares that are eligible for future sale could adversely impact a public trading market for our common stock, if a public market develops.
Approximately 45% of the shares of our common stock are subject to Rule 144 as control securities. The amount of shares which are available for sale in the public market, should such a market be developed, could result in a depression of our stock price until such time, if ever, that an active and liquid market for our common stock is developed. The amount of restricted shares which are available for sale in the public market, should such a market be developed, with or without the liquidation of those shares, could result in a depression of our stock price until such time, if ever, that an active and liquid market for our common stock is developed and the restricted shares are liquidated by their owners.
You may face significant restrictions on the resale of your shares due to state “blue sky” laws.
Each state has its own securities laws, often called “blue sky” laws, which (1) limit sales of securities to a state’s residents unless the securities are registered in that state or qualify for an exemption from registration, and (2) govern the reporting requirements for broker-dealers doing business directly or indirectly in the state. Before a security is sold in a state, there must be a registration in place to cover the transaction, or it must be exempt from registration. The applicable broker-dealer must also be registered in that state.
We do not know whether our securities will be registered or exempt from registration under the laws of any state. A determination regarding registration will be made by those broker-dealers, if any, who agree to serve as market makers for our common stock. We have not yet applied to have our securities registered in any state. There may be significant state blue sky law restrictions on the ability of investors to sell, and on purchasers to buy, our securities. You should therefore consider the resale market for our common stock to be limited, as you may be unable to resell your shares without the significant expense of state registration or qualification.
If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Markets which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Approximately 45% of the shares of our common stock are subject to Rule 144 as control securities. The amount of shares which are available for sale in the public market, should such a market be developed, could result in a depression of our stock price until such time, if ever, that an active and liquid market for our common stock is developed. The amount of restricted shares which are available for sale in the public market, should such a market be developed, with or without the liquidation of those shares, could result in a depression of our stock price until such time, if ever, that an active and liquid market for our common stock is developed and the restricted shares are liquidated by their owners.
The application of the “penny stock” rules could adversely affect the market price of our common shares and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the following:
● | that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and | |
● | the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. |
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must do the following:
● | obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and | |
● | make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. |
16 |
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
● | sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and | |
● | that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. |
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our securities and cause a decline in the market value of our securities.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
We do not intend to pay dividends.
We have not paid any cash dividends to date and do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future on our common stock. Our agreement with PIMCO prevents us from paying cash dividends.
Our common stock price is likely to be highly volatile, which may subject us to securities litigation thereby diverting our resources which may affect our profitability and results of operation.
The market price for our common stock is likely to be highly volatile as the stock market in general. The following factors will add to our common stock price’s volatility:
● | actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results; | |
● | announcements by us of acquisitions; | |
● | additions or departures of our key personnel; and | |
● | sales of our common stock. |
Many of these factors are beyond our control. These factors may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, plaintiffs have initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.
Our officers and directors collectively own a substantial portion of our outstanding common stock, and as long as they do, they may be able to control the outcome of stockholder voting.
Our officers and directors are collectively the beneficial owners of approximately 45% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of the date of this Prospectus. Accordingly, these stockholders, individually and as a group, may be able to control us and direct our affairs and business, including any determination with respect to a change in control, future issuances of common stock or other securities, declaration of dividends on the common stock and the election of directors.
17 |
Our officers and directors control a significant percentage of our outstanding stock, which could result in a conflict of interest.
Our officers and directors are collectively the beneficial owners of approximately 45% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of the date of this Prospectus. Accordingly, these stockholders, individually and as a group, may be able to control us and direct our affairs and business, including any determination with respect to a change in control, future issuances of common stock or other securities, declaration of dividends on the common stock and the election of directors.
This concentrated control could delay, defer, or prevent a change of control, merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets that our other stockholders support, or conversely this concentrated control could result in the consummation of such a transaction that our other stockholders do not support. Our board members owe a fiduciary duty to our stockholders and must act in good faith in a manner they reasonably believe to be in the best interests of our stockholders. As stockholders, even controlling stockholders, our officers and directors are entitled to vote their shares, in their own interests, which may not always be in the interests of our stockholders generally, which is therefore a potential conflict of interest.
We have the ability to issue additional shares of our common stock and shares of preferred stock without asking for stockholder approval, which could cause your investment to be diluted.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors to issue up to 1,250,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The power of the Board of Directors to issue shares of common stock, preferred stock or warrants or options to purchase shares of common stock or preferred stock is generally not subject to stockholder approval. Accordingly, any additional issuance of our common stock, or preferred stock that may be convertible into common stock, may have the effect of diluting your investment.
By issuing preferred stock, we may be able to delay, defer, or prevent a change of control.
Our Articles of Incorporation permits us to issue, without approval from our stockholders, a total of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors can determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to, or imposed upon, the shares of preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series. It is possible that our Board of Directors, in determining the rights, preferences and privileges to be granted when the preferred stock is issued, may include provisions that have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, discouraging bids for our common stock at a premium over the market price, or that adversely affect the market price of and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.
Securities analysts may not cover our common stock and this may have a negative impact on our common stock’s market price.
The trading market for our common stock may depend on the research and reports that securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. There is no guarantee that securities analysts will cover our common stock. If securities analysts do not cover our common stock, the lack of research coverage may adversely affect our common stock’s market price, if any. If we are covered by securities analysts, and our stock is downgraded, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases to cover us or fails to publish regularly reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

Investment Agreement / Registration Rights Agreement with GHS
On August 12, 2016 we entered into an “at the market” Investment Agreement GHS. Although we are not mandated to sell shares under the Investment Agreement, the Investment Agreement gives us the option to sell to GHS up to $5,000,000 worth of our common stock (“Shares”), over the period following effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Effective Date”) and ending thirty-six (36) months after the Effective Date. Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, we have the right to deliver from time to time a Put Notice to GHS stating the dollar amount of Put Shares (up to $500,000 under any individual Put Notice)(the “Put Amount”) that we intend to sell to GHS with the price per share based on the following formula: the lesser of (a) the lowest sale price for the Common Stock on the date of the Put Notice (the “Put Notice Date”); or (b) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest trading prices for the Company’s Common Stock during the five trading days following the Put Notice Date. The maximum number of shares that can be put to GHS is two times the average daily trading volume during the ten trading days prior to the closing of a put (the “Closing Date”). If the amount of the tranche exceeds the volume limitation, additional tranches will be delivered until the entire Put Amount is delivered. Each tranche, including the initial tranche, will trigger a new purchase price, and will be priced according to the purchase price definition.
20 |
On any Closing Date, we shall deliver to GHS the number of shares of the Common Stock registered in the name of GHS as specified in the Put Notice. In addition, we must deliver the other required documents, instruments and writings required. GHS is not required to purchase the shares unless:
● | Our Registration Statement with respect to the resale of the shares of Common Stock delivered in connection with the applicable Put shall have been declared effective. | |
● | at all times during the period beginning on the date of the Put Notice and ending on the date of the related closing, our Common Stock has been listed on the Principal Market as defined in the Investment Agreement (which includes, among others, the OTC Market: QB Tier) and shall not have been suspended from trading thereon. | |
● | we have complied with our obligations and we are not otherwise not in breach of or in default under the Investment Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or any other agreement executed in connection therewith; | |
● | no injunction has been issued and remains in force, and no action has been commenced by a governmental authority which has not been stayed or abandoned, prohibiting the purchase or the issuance of the Put Shares; and | |
● | the issuance of the Shares will not violate any shareholder approval requirements of the market or exchange on which our Common Stock is principally listed. |
In addition, there is an ownership limit for GHS of 9.99% of the total outstanding shares.
GHS will not engage in any “short-sale” (as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO) of our Common Stock at any time during this Agreement. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement with GHS, we agreed to pay a fee equaling $250,000 or 5% of the Commitment Amount (the “Commitment Fee”) which shall be paid in installments of Fifty Thousand ($50,000) beginning on the earlier of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) January 1, 2017 and, the first Trading Day of each January, April, July and October thereafter until fully paid. Each installment of the Commitment Fee shall be paid either in cash or, at the election of the Company, in shares of Common Stock, which shall be deemed a put under the Investment Agreement. On August 12, 2016, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with GHS requiring, among other things that we prepare and file with the SEC the Registration Statement on Form S-1 of which this is a part covering the resale of the shares issuable to GHS under the Investment Agreement. As per the Investment Agreement, GHS’ obligations are not assignable.
The foregoing descriptions of the Investment Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Investment Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part which are incorporated herein by reference
As described below, we currently have an Equity Purchase Agreement with Kodiak pursuant to which we can put shares to Kodiak. The pricing to us under the Investment Agreement is better than the Kodiak agreement and we intend to terminate the Kodiak agreement immediately prior to the Effective Date.
Equity Purchase Agreement/Registration Rights Agreement with Kodiak
On December 17, 2014, we entered into the Equity Purchase Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement with Kodiak Capital Group, LLC in order to establish a possible source of funding for us.
Under the Investment Agreement, Kodiak has agreed to provide us with up to $5,000,000 of funding during the period which began on March 23, 2016 and would end on December 31, 2016. A total of • shares were put to Kodiak under the Kodiak agreement.
21 |
Under the Kodiak agreement, we may request a put by sending a put notice to Kodiak, stating the amount of the put. During the five trading days following a notice, we will calculate the amount of shares we will sell to Kodiak and the purchase price per share. The number of shares of Common Stock that Kodiak shall purchase pursuant to each put notice shall be determined by dividing the amount of the put by the purchase price.
The purchase price per share of common stock will be set at seventy-five percent (75%) of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock during the pricing period, which is five consecutive days following a put notice.
There is no minimum amount we can put to Kodiak at any one time. However, the maximum amount of any individual put is $500,000. Upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company shall deliver instructions to its transfer agent to issue shares of Common Stock to Kodiak free of restrictive legends on or before each closing date.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Kodiak and its affiliates shall not be issued shares of our common stock that would result in its beneficial ownership equaling more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock.
Kodiak will not engage in any “short-sale” (as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO) of our common stock at any time during this Agreement. On December 17, 2014, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Kodiak requiring, among other things, that we prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering the shares issuable to Kodiak under the Investment Agreement.
As per the Investment Agreement, none of Kodiak’s obligations thereunder are transferrable and may not be assigned to a third party.
In conjunction with the GHS Investment Agreement, we intend to terminate the Kodiak Agreement prior to the Effective Date.
PIMCO
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of up to 2,544,280 shares by PIMCO, including the shares they which they will receive upon exercise of the warrant held by them. However, we may receive up to $1.5 million upon full exercise of the warrant by them. We have prepared the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part, and we are paying the costs of the registration statement. We are solely responsible for the content of the registration statement and of this Prospectus.
Manner of Sale
We have not engaged an underwriter for the offering made by either GHS, Kodiak or PIMCO. Each of GHS, Kodiak and PIMCO has advised us that none of them have engaged an underwriter for the offering. We expect each of GHS, Kodiak and PIMCO to make their own decisions as to if and when to sell their shares and, in general, to place their respective shares in their individual accounts at their own securities broker-dealers and request the entry of sell orders against their stock positions.
GHS, Kodiak and PIMCO, may sell their shares in open market or block transactions or otherwise in accordance with the rules of the OTC Markets, or in private transactions, at prices related to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. GHS, Kodiak and PIMCO may effect such transactions by selling shares to or through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from selling stockholders for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they sell as principal or both. Upon any sale of shares offered hereby, selling stockholders and participating broker-dealers or selling agents may be deemed to be “underwriters” as that term is defined in the Securities Act, in which event any discounts, concessions or commissions they receive, which are not expected to exceed those customary in the types of transactions involved, or any profit on re-sales of the shares by them, may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
22 |
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
Each of GHS, Kodiak and PIMCO may sell its shares in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, or at negotiated prices. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by any of GHS, Kodiak or PIMCO. However, we will receive proceeds from the sale of securities pursuant to each Put Notice we send to GHS and we will receive up to $1,500,000 upon full exercise of the warrant by PIMCO.
Trading in our securities is subject to penny stock considerations. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.
State Securities - Blue Sky Laws
There is no public market for our common stock, and there can be no assurance that any market will develop in the foreseeable future. Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities regulations or laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as “Blue Sky” laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the Blue Sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state Blue-Sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. Accordingly, investors may not be able to liquidate their investments and should be prepared to hold the shares of our common stock for an indefinite period of time.
Selling security holders may contact us directly to ascertain procedures necessary for compliance with Blue Sky Laws in the applicable states relating to sellers and/or purchasers of our shares of common stock.
We have applied for listing in Mergent, Inc. Securities Manual which provides us with “manual” exemptions (as described below) in approximately 33 states as indicated in CCH Blue Sky Law Desk Reference at Section 6301 entitled “Standard Manuals Exemptions.”
Thirty-three states have what is commonly referred to as a “manual exemption” for secondary trading of securities such as those to be resold by selling security holders under this Prospectus. In these states, so long as we obtain and maintain a listing in Mergent, Inc. or Standard and Poor’s Corporate Manual, secondary trading of our common stock can occur without any filing, review or approval by state regulatory authorities in these states. These states are Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming. We cannot secure this listing, and thus this qualification, until after the Registration Statement, of which this Prospectus forms a part, is declared effective. Once we secure this listing, secondary trading can occur in these states without further action.
We currently do not intend to and may not be able to qualify our common stock for resale in other states which require shares to be qualified before they can be resold by our security holders.

Limitations Imposed by Regulation M
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, any person engaged in the distribution of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our common stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of such distribution. In addition and without limiting the foregoing, each selling security holder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the associated rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of our common stock by the selling security holders. We will make copies of this Prospectus available to the selling security holders and will inform them of the need for delivery of copies of this Prospectus to purchasers at or prior to the time of any sale of the shares offered hereby. We assume no obligation to so deliver copies of this Prospectus or any related Prospectus supplement.
General
XFit Brands, Inc. was incorporated in September 2014 under the laws of the State of Nevada. As used herein, the terms “we,” “us,” “XFIT,” and the “Company” refer to XFit Brands, Inc. and its predecessors, subsidiaries, and affiliates, collectively, unless the context indicates otherwise. Our fiscal year end is June 30. Our principal office address is 25731 Commercentre Drive, Lake Forest, CA 92630.
Our principal business activity is the design, development, and worldwide marketing and selling of functional equipment, training gear, apparel, and accessories for the impact sports market and fitness industry. Our mission is to become a leading developer and marketer of functional fitness brands and products at retail and fitness outlets worldwide. Our products span the Impact Sports, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), High and low impact fitness and Cross Training, and other Action Sports and are marketed and sold under the Throwdown®, XFit Brands®, and Transformations™ brand names, which along with certain trade secrets are protected worldwide. Our products are marketed and sold through a range of different channels including gyms, fitness facilities, and directly to consumers via our internet website and through third party catalogues (which we refer to as our “Direct to Consumer”) through a mix of independent distributors and licensees throughout the world. All of our products are manufactured by a network of independent manufacturers, which satisfy our strict quality requirements. Virtually all apparel products are produced outside the United States, while equipment products are produced both in the United States and abroad.
We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with the requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and the exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We intend to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company.
We will continue to be an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of (1) the last day of the fiscal year during which we had total annual gross revenues of at least $1 billion (as indexed for inflation), (2) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of our initial public offering under our Prospectus dated February 11, 2015, (3) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt and (4) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer,” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (which we refer to as the “Exchange Act”).
We also qualify as a “smaller reporting company” under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which is defined as a company with a public equity float of less than $75 million. To the extent that we remain a smaller reporting company at such time as are no longer an emerging growth company, we will still have reduced disclosure requirements for our public filings some of which are similar to those of an emerging growth company including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements.

Background
Our company was founded in 2003 under the Throwdown name. Our initial focus was for development and sale of ramps for Action sports (Skate, Moto, other) and training and competition cages for the Mixed Martial Arts (“MMA”) industry and thereafter expanded into development and sales of training and protective gear for the MMA industry. In the past year, we have begun commercializing a significantly broader portfolio of cross training, fitness and other products capitalizing on the growth of the fitness, training, and exercise industry that has significantly expanded our business. In September 2014, we formed XFit Brands, Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TD Legacy, LLC to act as a holding company for our Throwdown operations. TD Legacy distributed the shares of XFit Brands held by it to its members on February 13, 2015 and then dissolved on September 22, 2015.

Industry Overview
According to recent information released by the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (“IHRSA”) and Statista, total global fitness club industry revenues increased to $81 billion in 2015 from $78.2 billion in 2014 and $74.1 billion in 2013. Total global fitness club memberships increased to 151 million in 2015 from 139 million in 2014 and 135 million in 2013. Total U.S. fitness club industry revenues increased to $25.8 billion in 2015 from $24.2 billion in 2014 and $22.4 billion in 2013. Total U.S. fitness club memberships covered 55.3 million persons in 2015. According to the IHRSA, the fitness industry is witnessing a shift in the exercise and preference of health club members. The club landscape now extends beyond the traditional, full-service fitness centers as studio concepts including boxing, yoga, Pilates, group cycling, barre, boot camps, cross training, Crossfit®, and personal training.
According to the IHRSA, two (2) significant developments are continuing to drive the growth experienced by the fitness industry: obesity continues in endemic proportions and the healthcare industry continues its trend towards prevention versus treatment. As the focus on exercise and overall healthy lifestyles continue to impact the health club industry, we believe the Company can benefit from these dynamics en route to accomplishing the Company’s mission of becoming the leading developer and marketer of functional fitness brands and products in retail and fitness outlets worldwide.
Products
We currently sell products in the following categories: (i) Functional Fitness Stations; (ii) Training and Protective Gear; (iii) Cages and Rings; (iv) Bag Rack Systems; (v) Apparel; (vi) Functional Training Equipment and Accessories and (vii) Fitness Training Programs.
Functional Fitness Stations. We offer an extensive array of fitness training stations including our XTC, CTC and UTC training equipment. Our fitness training stations have key features such as cantilever bag mounts, adjustable step-up platforms, dip bars, ladder system, adjustable Olympic bar rack, squat station, pull up rock station, medicine ball targets / storage, t-bar row, battle ropes, and weight horns. In addition, we recently started offering our mobile fitness training stations, which can be set up for mobile events such as mobile boot camps, community events, trade shows and outdoor competitions.
Training and Protective Gear. We offer a complete catalog of training and protective gear including MMA and boxing gloves, punching mitts, thai pads, body shields and heavy bags. We have designed and developed our products with input from athletes in the MMA industry. Further, our products have been approved for use by both MMA and boxing commissions.
Cages and Rings. Cages and Rings are our legacy products. We continue to offer an extensive portfolio of cages and rings in the MMA industry. We are a provider of the Octagon and other functional fitness equipment to Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Gyms. All of our cages and rings encompass our proprietary design with the flex zone floor and framing system to protect against injuries. Our cages are designed with high safety standards and have been in use in the MMA industry for over ten years.
Bag Rack Systems. Our bag rack systems are engineered for commercial grade usage with powder coated 4” square tubing, and oversized stainless steel eyebolts, carabineers and swivels. They feature an industry first bucket system and other options including hydraulically bent rolling monkey bars and the retractable bag on trolley and curtain system.
26 |
Apparel. We have a library of over 2,500 lifestyle tee apparel designs. In addition, we have beta tested a new line of athletic performance apparel with innovative technology such as heat displacement, and antibacterial.
Functional Training Equipment and Accessories. We produce a full portfolio of commercial grade products for dynamic movement and exercise, endurance and strength building including weight plates, kettle bells, resistance bands, weight bars and dumbbells, jump ropes, slam balls and plyometrix boxes used in cross training, and other similar high and impact fitness regimens. We are beginning expansion and sales of these retail products and other fitness accessories commercialized under the Throwdown Brand®.
Fitness Training Programs. We recently began offering fitness training programs offered under the Transformations™ brand name. These programs are designed to be used both in conjunction with our fitness training centers, bag racks and our functional fitness equipment.
Our Strengths
We believe the following competitive strengths and sources of sustainable competitive advantage that will enable the implementation of our growth strategies:
Strong Brand Association.We have been providing cages, equipment and protective gear to the MMA community for the past 13 years and enjoy a brand associated with quality, durability, and innovation. We are a provider of equipment to UFC Gym®, Crunch® Franchise Gyms and many of the leading commercial health club providers and have sponsored events and athletes with our products internationally. We believe our strong brand recognition (as well as our recent portfolio expansion discussed below) will enable us to establish a presence in sporting goods retail stores, to penetrate new markets, and to expand geographically to new channels including the United States retail market.
Portfolio of Products.We have an extensive suite of products and apparel for the fitness, and impact sports industry. We believe this extensive line of products will enable us to establish a presence in sporting goods retail stores and fitness facilities. Further, we believe that our recent expansion of our portfolio to include functional strength and conditional equipment as well as fitness training programs enables us to provide a one-stop shop for major gym operators and fitness outlets to allow us to capitalize on the growth of the broader cross training workout concepts.
Culture of Performance Based Innovation. We have provided significant innovation to products in the MMA and training products including improving safety of the MMA cages with our SlamTec flooring, to various use of unique surfaces like T-Flex. In addition, we have implemented multiple protective and training gear improvements in gloves, bags, and pads, which we believe has increased use of our products. Our UTC-K2 two-story fitness training stations are, to our knowledge, the first of their kind, and the Company expects to continue developing new innovations to expand our line of products, which will also strengthen our portfolio of brands, range of intellectual property and intangible assets, and market value. Our innovation has further strengthened the value of our brands, which we expect will enable us to establish a presence in sporting goods retail stores and our entry into new markets.
Key Relationships. We are currently a provider of equipment and cages for all UFC Gym® corporate locations, are the exclusive supplier of CTC Fitness Training Stations and related fitness accessories for all Crunch® Franchise Gyms, and we have a significant relationship with other industry leading health club chains. In addition, our brands are now sold in over 20 countries and we continue to sponsor international athletes and events, which maintains visibility and strengthens our reputation. We believe our current relationships will foster new partnerships and will bolster our efforts to secure new licensing relationships.
Global Sourcing Network. We have established a global network of manufacturers both directly and through licensing relationships. We currently have supply relationships with manufacturers in the US, Pakistan and China. Our international direct ship program benefits our international distribution points on several levels including, but not limited to, reduction in lead time to meet demand as well as savings related to duties, taxes, and transportation.
27 |
Social Media Footprint. Throwdown has a strong digital footprint among Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and YouTube which foster presences and engagement. Our strong social media footprint is instrumental in promoting the Throwdown brand, which we believe could be helpful in establishing a presence in sporting goods retail stores and further penetrating our presence in fitness facilities. We are establishing a social media presence for the newly formed “XFit Brands” corporation as well.
Intellectual Property. We have an extensive collection of registered global trademarks. In addition, we have a large collection of proprietary functional fitness designs, equipment, and systems for which we intend to file provisional patents. These intellectual assets and specifically the global trademarks, serve to both protect the brand and we believe may attract strategic licensees.
Experienced Management Team. Our management team possesses substantial experience in the consumer goods and products industry. The strength and passion of our current dynamic and talented leaders coupled with the senior management expansion plans underway will enable both continued success and more rapid growth. Our senior management team has worked together for over five years and believe that the teams’ experience has enabled us to anticipate and respond effectively to industry trends and competitive dynamics, better understand our consumer base, and build strong customer relationships.
Our Growth Strategy
Key elements of our growth strategy include the following:
Expand our presence in the exercise and fitness training community. Our initial entry into the fitness products market with the introduction of our training stations (Cross Training Center, Ultimate Training Center and Combat Training Centers) has been well received. In addition, major gym operators have expressed a desire for us to provide a one-stop-shop for all their functional fitness equipment needs and programming. We believe that our recent portfolio expansion to include products for the exercise and fitness training industry, including jump ropes, medicine balls, resistance bands, ropes, kettle bells, agility ladders, push / pull sleds, dumbbells, rings, Olympic weights, and plyometric boxes as well as fitness and exercise programs will enable us to significantly continue to expand our presence in the fitness training community and will also allow us to provide a complete fitness portfolio for gym operators and retail stores.
Leverage our core credibility and heritage. Our products have been used in the MMA industry for over 10 years and we are a product supplier to the UFC Gyms®. We intend to leverage our reputation of product quality and innovation in the MMA industry to establish a meaningful position within both domestic and international sporting goods retailers as well as increasing our presence in the training industry. We have an extensive retail ready portfolio of products and have recently started targeting national sporting goods retailers. We believe our reputation for quality and durable products will facilitate our ability to establish a position with sporting goods retail stores. We believe our new line of products for the exercise and training segment of the fitness industry will be attractive to both retail stores and fitness facilities.
Develop Strategic Alliances. We intend to cultivate and execute key licensing partnerships with highly qualified licensees to build brand awareness and increase brand value by extending the Throwdown Brand into complementary product categories and international markets. We will continue to seek qualified partners to license our current Throwdown products in locations where we do not have a geographic presence, similar to our license arrangement with a Brazilian company. In addition, we will also seek to license the Throwdown brand for market segments in which we do not have a presence or expertise, such as headwear, eyewear, footwear, or nutritional products.
Acquiring other fitness industry related products to leverage our asset base, manufacturing infrastructure, market presence and experienced personnel.We currently have a manufacturing and distribution infrastructure in place and a reputation for providing quality products for the MMA and fitness industries. Accordingly, we will look to acquire additional fitness industry related products, brands and companies to take advantage of our infrastructure, capabilities and global customer base. Many of the competitors in this industry are smaller, private, entrepreneurial-based companies that are undercapitalized, underscaled, or looking for monetization which we believe would facilitate our strategy. The cost of acquiring new fitness related products will range from $100,000 for small products or companies to $600,000 for medium size companies to in excess of $1 million for large size operations. In February 2015, we acquired certain exercise and fitness programs under the Transformations brand name and we will continue to seek out additional opportunities. We expect to fund the purchase of any product via a combination of cash, equity and earn-out consideration. We expect to be able to fund the cash portion of any acquisition from either an additional drawdown from our PIMCO facility, under our investment agreement with GHS Investments, LLC, issuance of debt/equity securities or a combination of the foregoing.
28 |
Sales
We currently sell our products through a number of channels, including business-to-business, through distributors and licensees, and direct to consumer via the internet and third party catalogues. We are a supplier of fitness related products to many leading health clubs, and we are continuing to seek penetration of the fitness facility market with the development and launch of our fitness products targeting the exercise and training segment of the fitness industry. We actively ship to over 20 countries through relationships with international distributors. We are also actively seeking to establish relationships with select national sporting goods retailers for the sale of our products.
Manufacturing
Our products are supplied by nine manufacturing factories located in three countries – the United States, Pakistan and China.
The primary raw materials used to manufacture our products are leather, synthetic fabrics, wood and steel tubing as well as other various materials. We buy our raw materials from several independent suppliers. Our third party manufacturers are required to maintain quality control procedures and supervisors inspect our goods and equipment for defects throughout the manufacturing process and finishing stage.
Marketing
Historically, we have marketed our products through a variety of methods, including athlete and event sponsorship, look books, third party catalogues, and magazine advertisements. Recently, we have also relied on establishing a social media presence to generate awareness for our products, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube.
We intend to focus our marketing strategies on the following areas for our Throwdown Brand:
Consumer: We will seek to deploy consistent brand messaging and campaigns i.e. “That’s How I Throwdown” and “Let’s Throwdown” to build engagement with our consumers using a combination of marketing mediums including but not limited to catalog and digital marketing, social networks, mobile app, rewards programs, print, point-of-sale marketing, public relations, and sponsorship and event participation. We expect to utilize these channels to also distribute content, education in our efforts to build the global awareness, purchase intent, conversion, and ultimately, demand through brand loyalty.
Influencers: We intend to expand our network of influencers, including coaches, trainers, top athletes, and brand ambassadors to generate brand awareness.

Concentration of Accounts
As of June 30, 2016, our top three customers accounted for 51.9% of our total revenues being Crunch Franchising, LLC (33.7%), CA Management Co., Ltd (9.6%) and Eye Fitness (8.7%). Two customers accounted for 90% of our accounts receivable, being Crunch Franchising, LLC ($127,512/71%), and 24 Hour Fitness USA, Inc. ($33,060/19%). As of June 30, 2015, two customers accounted for 88% of our accounts and royalties receivable, being Crunch Franchising, LLC ($72,889/43%), and Partner Business ($75,000/45%). We have written agreements with all of the 2016 customers. As of June 30, 2016, three vendors accounted for 44% of our accounts payable being American Express ($116,310/16%), Everblooming Industrial Limited ($111,094/15%), and Wells Fargo Bank ($95,462/13%). As of June 30, 2015, three vendors accounted for 68% of our accounts payable, being Indeglia & Carney ($51,465/12%), Lynam Industries ($203,394/46%), and Wells Fargo Bank ($46,683/10%). We have written agreements with a majority of the 2016 vendors. We expect our customer and vendor concentration to decrease as we expand our business.
Competition
The fitness equipment, product and apparel industry is highly competitive on a worldwide basis. The intense competition and the rapid changes in technology and consumer preferences in the markets for fitness equipment, products and apparel constitute significant risk factors in our operations.
We compete with a significant number of other equipment and apparel suppliers to the fitness industry, many of whom have the following:
● | Significantly greater financial resources than us; | |
● | More comprehensive product lines; | |
● | Longer-standing relationships with suppliers, manufacturers, and retailers; | |
● | Broader distribution capabilities; | |
● | Stronger brand recognition and loyalty; and | |
● | The ability to invest substantially more in product advertising and sales. |
Our competitors’ greater capabilities in the above areas may enable them to better differentiate their products from ours, gain stronger brand loyalty, withstand periodic downturns in the apparel and fitness equipment and product industries, compete effectively on the basis of price and production, and more quickly develop new products.
Intellectual Property
We utilize trademarks on nearly all of our products and believe having distinctive marks that are readily identifiable is an important factor in creating a market for our goods, in identifying our brands and the Company, and in distinguishing our goods from the goods of others. We consider our Throwdown®, and Transformations™ trademarks to be among our most valuable intangible assets. Throwdown®, for example is registered in thirty-nine (39) countries. Trademarks registered in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. generally have a duration of ten years depending on the jurisdiction and are generally subject to an indefinite number of renewals for a like period on appropriate application.
We also rely on trade secret protection for our confidential and proprietary information, including more than 25 facets related to design and processes for our equipment. We seek to enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, partners, and suppliers.
Employees
As of September 30, 2016, we had approximately ten full-time employees. Management considers its relationship with employees to be excellent. None of our employees are represented by a union. We have never experienced a material interruption of operations due to labor disagreements.
Environmental Laws
We have not incurred and do not anticipate incurring any expenses associated with environmental laws.

We are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. We are party to claims and litigation that arise in the normal course of business. To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of our executive officers or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or any of our companies or our company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

(1) | On October 21, 2014, our Board of Directors and our sole stockholder adopted our 2014 Stock Incentive Plan. The purpose of our 2014 Stock Incentive Plan is to advance the best interests of the company by providing those persons who have a substantial responsibility for our management and growth with additional incentive and by increasing their proprietary interest in the success of the Company, thereby encouraging them to maintain their relationships with us. Further, the availability and offering of stock options and common stock under the plan supports and increases our ability to attract and retain individuals of exceptional talent upon whom, in large measure, the sustained progress, growth and profitability which we depend. The total number of shares available for the grant of either stock options or compensation stock under the plan is 3,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment. Our Board of Directors administers our plan and has full power to grant stock options and common stock, construe and interpret the plan, establish rules and regulations and perform all other acts, including the delegation of administrative responsibilities, it believes reasonable and proper. Any decision made, or action taken, by our Board of Directors arising out of or in connection with the interpretation and administration of the plan is final and conclusive. The Board of Directors, in its absolute discretion, may award common stock to employees of, consultants to, and directors of the Company, and such other persons as the Board of Directors or compensation committee may select, and permit holders of common stock options to exercise such options prior to full vesting therein and hold the common stock issued upon exercise of the option as common stock. Stock options may also be granted by our Board of Directors or compensation committee to non-employee directors of the Company or other persons who are performing or who have been engaged to perform services of special importance to the management, operation or development of the Company. In the event that our outstanding common stock is changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of merger, consolidation, other reorganization, recapitalization, combination of shares, stock split-up or stock dividend, prompt, proportionate, equitable, lawful and adequate adjustment shall be made of the aggregate number and kind of shares subject to stock options which may be granted under the plan. Our Board of Directors may at any time, and from time to time, suspend or terminate the plan in whole or in part or amend it from time to time in such respects as our Board of Directors may deem appropriate and in our best interest. As of June 30, 2016, we have not issued any shares under the plan and we have granted options to purchase 1,587,500 shares under the plan. |
37 |
Stock Option Grants
As of June 30, 2016, we have granted stock options to purchase 1,587,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent for our common stock is VStock Transfer, LLC, 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, NY 11598, telephone: (212) 828-8436.
Dividend Policy
We have not paid cash dividends on our common stock since our inception and we do not contemplate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.
Authorized Capital Stock
We are authorized to issue 1,250,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 per share.
Common Stock
As of September 30, 2016, 23,842,807 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding.
The holders of our common stock have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors and are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs. Our common stock does not provide the right to a preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights. Our common stock holders are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.
We refer you to our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, which are publicly available on the SEC website, and the applicable statutes of the State of Nevada for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our securities. All material terms of our common stock have been addressed in this section.
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors.
38 |
Preferred Stock
We are also authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock. Pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, our Board of Directors has the power, without further action by the holders of the common stock, to designate the relative rights and preferences of the preferred stock, and issue the preferred stock in one or more series as designated by the Board of Directors. The designation of rights and preferences could include preferences as to liquidation, redemption and conversion rights, voting rights, dividends, or other preferences, any of which may be dilutive of the interest of the holders of the common stock or the preferred stock of any other series. The Board of Directors effects a designation of each series of preferred stock by filing with the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Designation defining the rights and preferences of each series. Documents so filed are matters of public record and may be examined according to procedures of the Nevada Secretary of State, or copies may be obtained from us. Our Board of Directors has not designated any series or issued any shares of preferred stock at this time.
The ability of directors, without security holder approval, to issue additional shares of preferred stock could be used as an anti-takeover measure. Anti-takeover measures may result in you receiving less compensation for your stock.
The issuance of preferred stock creates additional securities with dividend and liquidation preferences over common stock, and may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control without further security holder action and may adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of common stock. In certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could depress the market price of the common stock.
Holders
As of the date of this Prospectus, we have approximately record stockholders.
Warrants
PIMCO Warrant
We have issued a warrant that allows the PIMCO Fund to purchase an number of shares of our common stock equal to ten percent (10%) of all shares of common stock then outstanding, at an exercise price of $1,500,000 for the full 10% of our common stock ($150,000 for each one-percent of common stock purchased). The warrant may be exercised in whole or in part and expires on June 12, 2024. Based on the current shares outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus, PIMCO would be entitled to receive 2,384,281 shares upon full exercise of the warrant as of September 30, 2016.
We issued piggyback registration rights to the PIMCO Fund relating to the shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant, subject to customary underwriter and other cut-backs and exclusions.
PIMCO Delayed Draw Note
On November 26, 2014, XFit Brands, Inc., Throwdown Industries Holdings, LLC, Throwdown Industries, LLC and Throwdown Industries, Inc. (collectively, “Obligor”) issued a delayed draw note to the PIMCO Fund in the amount of $1,500,000, which is secured by all of our assets, and we have the right, subject to certain terms and conditions, to increase the amount by $1,000,000, to a total of $2,500,000. The note bears interest at 14% per annum and matures on July 12, 2017. Interest in payable monthly in arrears, provided that if no event of default has occurred, Obligor can elect to pay cash interest on each payment date at 9%, with the additional unpaid interest due on such dates added to the principal balance, This note replaced the delayed draw note originally issued on June 12, 2014 by Throwdown Industries Holdings, LLC, Throwdown Industries, LLC and Throwdown Industries, Inc. On February 6, 2015, we drew an additional $500,000 under this facility to increase the principal amount payable (including the accrued interest added to the principal amount) under this note to $2,044,300 and on October 20, 2015, we drew the remaining $500,000 available under this facility to increase the amount payable under this note (with accrued interest) to $2,620,098. We issued 10,000 shares of our common stock to PIMCO as a loan fee in consideration of October 2015 draw down. A replacement note was issued on each draw down date to reflect the note increase.
39 |
Dividend Policy
It is unlikely that we will declare or pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to expand our operations. To date, we have paid no dividends on our shares of common stock and have no present intention of paying any dividends on our shares of common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment by us of dividends on the shares of common stock in the future, if any, rests solely within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, our earnings, capital requirements and financial condition, as well as other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. Our agreement with PIMCO prohibits the payment of cash dividends on our common stock.
Equity Compensation Plan Information
On October 21, 2014, our Board of Directors and our sole stockholder adopted the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan. The purpose of our 2014 Stock Incentive Plan is to advance the best interests of the company by providing those persons who have a substantial responsibility for our management and growth with additional incentive and by increasing their proprietary interest in the success of the company, thereby encouraging them to maintain their relationships with us. Further, the availability and offering of stock options and common stock under the plan supports and increases our ability to attract and retain individuals of exceptional talent upon whom, in large measure, the sustained progress, growth and profitability which we depend. The total number of shares available for the grant of either stock options or compensation stock under the plan is 3,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment. Our Board of Directors administers our plan and has full power to grant stock options and common stock, construe and interpret the plan, establish rules and regulations and perform all other acts, including the delegation of administrative responsibilities, it believes reasonable and proper. Any decision made, or action taken, by our Board of Directors arising out of or in connection with the interpretation and administration of the plan is final and conclusive. The Board of Directors, in its absolute discretion, may award common stock to employees of, consultants to, and directors of the Company, and such other persons as the Board of Directors or compensation committee may select, and permit holders of common stock options to exercise such options prior to full vesting therein and hold the common stock issued upon exercise of the option as common stock. Stock options may also be granted by our Board of Directors or compensation committee to non-employee directors of the Company or other persons who are performing or who have been engaged to perform services of special importance to the management, operation or development of the Company. In the event that our outstanding common stock is changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of merger, consolidation, other reorganization, recapitalization, combination of shares, stock split-up or stock dividend, prompt, proportionate, equitable, lawful and adequate adjustment shall be made of the aggregate number and kind of shares subject to stock options which may be granted under the plan. Our Board of Directors may at any time, and from time to time, suspend or terminate the plan in whole or in part or amend it from time to time in such respects as our Board of Directors may deem appropriate and in our best interest. As of September 30, 2016, we have not issued any shares under the plan, and there are options to purchase 1,587,500 shares under this plan.
Registration Rights
Kodiak Capital Equity Purchase Agreement/GHS Investment Agreement
On December 17, 2014, we entered into a registration rights agreement with Kodiak Capital, LLC under which we are obligated to register the shares to be acquired by Kodiak pursuant to that certain Equity Purchase Agreement dated December 17, 2014 under which Kodiak agreed to purchase up to $5 million of our common stock, subject to certain conditions. As of August 12, 2016 we had put • shares to Kodiak. While the Kodiak agreement will be terminated prior to the Effective Date of this Registration Statement, we will continue to have registration obligations to Kodiak under their Registration Rights Agreement.
On August 13, 2016, we entered into a registration rights agreement with GHS under which we are obligated to register the shares to be acquired by GHS pursuant to that certain Investment Agreement dated August 13, 2016 under which GHS agreed to purchase up to $5 million of our common stock, subject to certain conditions.
40 |
Piggyback Registration Rights
We issued piggyback registration rights (with standard carve-outs) to the PIMCO Fund relating to the shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise of their respective warrants, subject to customary underwriter and other cut-backs and exclusions.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Our Articles of Incorporation contain provisions that might have an anti-takeover effect. These provisions, which are summarized below, may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our company. They could also impede a transaction in which our stockholders might receive a premium over the then-current market price of our common stock and our stockholders’ ability to approve transactions that they consider to be in their best interests.
Our Articles of Incorporation permit our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock. We could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock which would grant to holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend coupons before dividends would be declared to holders of shares of our existing preferred stock and our existing preferred stock and common stock. Our current stockholders have no redemption rights. In addition, as we have a large number of authorized but unissued shares, our board of directors could issue large blocks of voting stock to fend off unwanted tender offers or hostile takeovers without further stockholder approval.
Transfer Agent
The transfer agent for our common stock is vStock Transfer, LLC, 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, NY 11598, telephone: (212) 828-8436.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of XFit Brands, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of XFit Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of XFit Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

XFit Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2016 and 2015
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
XFit Brands, Inc. (“XFit” or the “Company”) was incorporated on September 16, 2014 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The fiscal year of the Company is June 30. XFit’s principal business activity is the design, development, and worldwide marketing and selling of functional equipment, training gear, apparel and accessories for the impact sports market and fitness industry. Products are marketed and sold under the “Throwdown®” brand name to gyms, fitness facilities and directly to consumers via an internet website and through third party catalogues through a mix of independent distributors and licensees throughout the world.
These financial statements represent the consolidated financial statements of XFit and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries Throwdown Industries Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), Throwdown Industries, LLC (“TDLLC”), and Throwdown Industries, Inc. (“TDINC”). On September 26, 2014, XFit entered into a Contribution and Exchange Agreement with TD Legacy, LLC (“TD Legacy”) and Holdings under which TD Legacy contributed all of its membership interest in Holdings to XFit in exchange for the issuance by XFit of 20,000,000 shares of common stock to TD Legacy. The result of this transaction was that Holdings became a wholly owned subsidiary of XFit. The financial statements have been restated to reflect this conversion.
Forward Stock Split
On March 28, 2016, the Board of Directors approved a 1-for-5 forward split of its outstanding shares of common stock (and proportional increase of its authorized common stock from 250 million shares to 1.25 billion shares) with a record date of April 14, 2016 and an effective date of April 15, 2016. Prior to the split, the Company had 4,118,500 shares issued and outstanding and after the split, the Company had 20,592,500 shares issued and outstanding. All references in the consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements, numbers of shares, and share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the 1-for-5 forward split, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of XFit, Holdings, TDLLC and TDINC. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company also consolidates any variable interest entities (“VIEs”), of which it is the primary beneficiary, as defined within Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810. The Company does not have any VIEs that are required to be consolidated as of June 30, 2016 or 2015.
Use of Estimates
Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Among other things, management has estimated the collectability of its accounts receivable, the valuation of long-lived assets, and equity instruments issued for financing. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-6 |
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk include cash, accounts receivable, royalties receivable, revenue, and vendor concentrations. At times, the Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. Management monitors the credit rating and concentration of risk with these financial institutions on a continuing basis to mitigate risk.
The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable and royalties receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures.
As of June 30, 2016, our top three customers accounted for 51.9% of our total revenues being Crunch Franchising, LLC (33.7%), CA Management Co., Ltd. (9.6%) and Eye Fitness (8.7%). Two customers accounted for 90% of our accounts receivable, being Crunch Franchising, LLC ($127,512/71%), and 24 Hour Fitness USA, Inc. ($33,060/19%). As of June 30, 2015, two customers accounted for 88% of our accounts and royalties receivable, being Crunch Franchising, LLC ($72,889/43%), and Partner Business ($75,000/45%). We have written agreements with all of the 2016 customers. As of June 30, 2016, three vendors accounted for 44% of our accounts payable being American Express ($116,310/16%), Everblooming Industrial Limited ($111,094/15%), and Wells Fargo Bank ($95,462/13%).
As of June 30, 2015, three vendors accounted for 68% of our accounts payable, being Indeglia & Carney ($51,465/12%), Lynam Industries ($203,394/46%), and Wells Fargo Bank ($46,683/10%). We have written agreements with a majority of the 2016 vendors. We expect our customer and vendor concentration to decrease as we expand our business.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The Company determines the fair value of its financial instruments based on a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements under which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of observable or unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect management’s market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:
Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities. | |
Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. | |
Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value measurement. |
At June 30, 2014, the warrants issued in connection with the loan discussed in Note 3 were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3).
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts and royalties receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets
In accordance with ASC 350-30, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.
F-7 |
The Company had no such asset impairments at June 30, 2016 or 2015. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s products under development will continue. Either of these could result in future impairment of long-lived assets.
Revenue Recognition
Product sales are recognized upon shipment of inventory to customers. Royalty revenues are recognized upon the terms of the underlying royalty agreements, when amounts are reliably measurable and collectability is assured.
Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from product sales. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical losses and current economic conditions. On a continuing basis, management analyzes delinquent receivables, and once these receivables are determined to be uncollectible, they are written off against an existing allowance account. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts is not necessary as all accounts are considered fully collectible.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash on hand, cash in banks and other highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventory
Inventory, which primarily represents finished goods, is valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost has been derived principally using standard costs utilizing the first-in, first-out method. Write-downs for finished goods are recorded when the net realizable value has fallen below cost and provide for slow moving or obsolete inventory.
Loan Discounts and Loan Fees
The Company amortizes loan discounts over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. Costs associated with obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related loans using the effective interest method. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had $602,112 and $527,112 of total gross debt issuance costs, respectively. Amortization of the debt issuance costs was $203,975 and $146,038 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which was recorded as a component of interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes
In accordance with ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets. The Company established a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset in the future tax consequences. Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate.
F-8 |
The Company has adopted the provisions set forth in ASC Topic 740 to account for uncertainty in income taxes. In the preparation of income tax returns in federal and state jurisdictions, the Company asserts certain tax positions based on its understanding and interpretation of the income tax law. The taxing authorities may challenge such positions, and the resolution of such matters could result in recognition of income tax expense in the Company’s financial statements. Management believes it has used reasonable judgments and conclusions in the preparation of its income tax returns.
The Company uses the “more likely than not” criterion for recognizing the tax benefit of uncertain tax positions and to establish measurement criteria for income tax benefits. The Company has determined that it has no material unrecognized tax assets or liabilities related to uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2016 and 2015. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes in such uncertainties and judgments during the next 12 months.
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no accrual for interest or penalties on its consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities
The Company reports taxes collected, which are primarily sales tax, on a net basis.
Income (Loss) per Share
The basic (loss) income per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net (loss) income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the year. The diluted net (loss) income per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted average number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Diluted net (loss) income per share is the same as basic net (loss) income per share due to the lack of dilutive items. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had 2,354,756 and 2,263,060 dilutive shares outstanding, respectively, that are attributable to the PIMCO warrant, which have been excluded as their effect is anti-dilutive.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. The cost of property and equipment is depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Computer equipment and software | 3 years |
Furniture | 3 years |
Machinery | 3-5 years |
Prepaid Expenses
During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company issued 300,000 shares of its common stock valued at $300,000 to two key vendors in consideration of future inventory purchases. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has not utilized these vendor credits and the $300,000 is included in prepaid expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended June 30, 2016, we had consumed all of the credit with one vendor and had approximately $105,000 remaining with the other at year end.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $38,492 and $77,175 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and is included in sales and marketing expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
F-9 |
Shipping and Handling Fees
All amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling represent revenues and are reported as product sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling are reported within cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications were made to the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. There was no change to the previously reported net loss.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company has implemented all new accounting standards and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2015-03,Interest-Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs(“ASU-2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires companies to present debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying value of that debt liability. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is allowed for financial statements that have not been previously issued. Entities would apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods (i.e., the balance sheet for each period is adjusted). The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Subsequent Events
In accordance with ASC 855,Subsequent Events, the Company evaluated subsequent events through the date of this report, which was the date the consolidated financial statements were available for issue.

NOTE 4 – SHORT TERM FINANCING
On May 3, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with a single accredited investor (“Investor”) under which it issued and sold to Investor a promissory note in the principal amount of $125,000 (the “Note”). The Note has a maturity date of December 31, 2016 and an original issue discount of $20,000. In addition, the Company agreed to pay Investor’s expenses in connection with the SPA and issuance of the Note of $5,000. Accordingly, the Company received net proceeds from Investor of $100,000, which proceeds were used for investor relation services.
So long as the Note is outstanding, upon any issuance of any security with any term more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that was not similarly provided to Investor in the Note or the SPA, then the Company will notify Investor of such additional or more favorable term and such term, at Investor’s option, shall become a part of the Note and/or SPA. The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms interest rates, and original issue discounts.
Interest shall not accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note unless an Event of Default occurs. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the outstanding balance of this Note shall bear interest at the lesser of the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. The Note has a prepayment deadline of November 3, 2016. Events of Default under the Note include failure to pay any amounts when due, including on the prepayment deadline, breach of covenants or representations and warranties or upon voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.
At any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Investor may, by written notice to the Company, declare all unpaid principal, plus all accrued interest and other amounts due hereunder to be immediately due and payable at an amount equal to 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note at the time of the default (“Mandatory Default Amount”); provided, however, that for an Event of Default for failure to pay the Note in full on the Prepayment Deadline, Investor will not accelerate the Note unless the Company fails to pay the Mandatory Default Amount (plus all accrued interest from and after the Event of Default) on the Maturity Date.
NOTE 5 – NOTE PAYABLE
The note payable is comprised of the following at:
June 30, | ||||||||
2016 | 2015 | |||||||
Note payable | $ | 2,712,787 | $ | 2,000,000 | ||||
Less: unamortized loan discount | (154,462 | ) | (277,070 | ) | ||||
Less: unamortized debt issuance costs | (79,605 | ) | (102,641 | ) | ||||
Total Note Payable, net | $ | 2,478,720 | $ | 1,620,289 |
On June 10, 2014, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with Pacific Investment Management Company (“PIMCO”) that authorized the issuance of up to $2,500,000. On June 12, 2014, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Note (“Note”) whereby the Company drew $1,500,000. The note bears interest at 14% and an effective interest rate of 21%. This Note is collateralized by all of the assets of the Company.
On February 6, 2015, the Company drew down an additional $500,000 of funds on the PIMCO Note Payable. Following the February 6, 2015 draw, the principal balance payable on the PIMCO note is $2,000,000, and the Company has an additional $500,000 available to draw on this loan facility. The full principal balance outstanding related to this note is due on July 12, 2017. Subsequently, the parties reached an agreement to treat the interest as Payment in Kind (PIK) and add the interest to the amount of the loan on a quarterly basis. This, in effect, increased the amount of the loan.
The Note includes various covenants, including but not limited to, having annual audited financial statements within 90 days of the end of the fiscal year. At June 30, 2016, the Company is in compliance with all covenants.
In connection with the Note, the Company granted warrants to acquire up to 10% of the Company’s capital stock based on an aggregate enterprise fair market value of $15.0 million. The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following variables: annual dividend yield of 0%; expected life of 10 years; risk free rate of return of 2.92%; and expected volatility of 0%. The Company estimated the value of the warrants to be $377,480, which is recorded as a loan discount and is being amortized under the effective interest method to interest expense over the term of the loan.
NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related Party Receivable
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a related party receivable of $100,000 from TD Legacy, the sole member of Holdings at that time. In June 2014, Holdings paid the balance of the $500,000 note payable to Windsor Court Holdings, LLC (“WCH”) and an additional $100,000 transaction fee on behalf of TD Legacy, which redeemed the 25% interest in Holdings from WCH to TD Legacy. The Company issued a $100,000 distribution to its sole member, TD Legacy, which eliminated the related party receivable during the year ended June 30, 2015. In 2016 there were no additional related party transactions.
F-11 |
Related Party Payable
As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company has $95,620 of salaries and bonuses payable to four of its officers and membership interest holders. These bonuses were to cover income taxes relating to equity issued during 2009.
NOTE 7 – LICENSING AGREEMENTS
On October 2, 2013, the Company entered into a license agreement with Dethrone Royalty Holdings, Inc. (“Dethrone”), pursuant to which the Company granted an exclusive, non-sub licensable and non-assignable right to Dethrone to use Company trademarks and other intellectual property. In consideration for the license agreement, the Company shall receive royalties of 10% of the net revenue generated by sales and other transfers of the licensed products during the term of the license agreement (subject to minimum requirement). In addition to the royalty payments, the Company received 5,437,603 shares of Dethrone’s common stock, at a trading value of $114,190, which was recorded as other income on the consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2014, the Company wrote down the shares to fair market value, which has been recorded as a loss on value of marketable securities on the consolidated statements of operations. The change was due to a decline in the fair value of the marketable security which, in the opinion of management, was considered to be other than temporary. This agreement was terminated on February 14, 2015. Total royalties related to this agreement were zero and $75,000 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
On April 10, 2014, the Company entered into a distribution and license agreement with Partner Business Importacao e Exportacao, LTDA, a Brazilian corporation (“Partner”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company granted a two-year, non-assignable, royalty-based license and right to use the trademarks and other intellectual property in the territory defined as Brazil. In consideration for the license agreement, the Company shall receive the greater of royalties of 10% of the net sales generated by sales and other transfers of the licensed products during the term of the license agreement or the minimum royalties outlined in the agreement. Total royalties related to this agreement were zero and $75,000 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
On March 26, 2015, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Eye Fitness Pty Ltd (“Eye Fitness”), an Australian Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company granted a two-year, non-assignable, distribution agreement for Australia and key accounts in the United Kingdom, Thailand and Singapore.

The total provision for income taxes, which consists of U.S. federal income and California Franchise taxes, consists of the following:

Based on the weight of available evidence, the Company’s management has determined that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Therefore, the company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets.
The components of net deferred tax assets recognized are as follows:

Total | $ | - | $ | - |
Due to uncertainties surrounding the Company’s ability to generate future U.S. taxable income to realize these assets, a full valuation allowance has been established to offset the net U.S. deferred tax asset.
The future utilization of the Company’s federal net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to an annual limitation, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code sections 382 and 383, as a result of ownership changes that may have occurred previously or that could occur in the future.
At June 30, 2016, the Company had federal income tax net operating losses of approximately $3.4 million. The federal net operating losses expire at various dates beginning in 2028. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and California. Tax years 2008 forward remain open to examination for the U.S. federal jurisdiction as a result of net operating loss carryforwards. Tax years 2009 forward remain open to examination by the state taxing authority.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of our operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto which appear elsewhere in this Prospectus. The results shown here in are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements, based on current expectations. All statements regarding future events, our future financial performance and operating results, our business strategy and our financing plans are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties. In many cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors could cause our actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. In evaluating these statements, you should specifically consider various factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Overview
XFit Brands, Inc. was incorporated in September 2014 under the laws of the State of Nevada. As used herein, the terms “we,” “us,” “XFIT,” and the “Company” refer to XFit Brands, Inc. and its predecessors, subsidiaries, and affiliates, collectively, unless the context indicates otherwise. Our fiscal year end is June 30.
Our principal business activity is the design, development, and worldwide marketing and selling of functional equipment, training gear, apparel, and accessories for the impact sports market and fitness industry. Our products are marketed and sold under our Throwdown®, XFit Brands®, and Transformations™ brand names to gyms, fitness facilities, and directly to consumers via our internet website and through third party catalogues (which we refer to as our “Direct to Consumer” operations) through a mix of independent distributors and licensees throughout the world. All of our products are manufactured by independent contractors. Our equipment and apparel products are produced both in the United States and abroad.
43 |
We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with the requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and the exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We intend to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company.
Results of Operations
For the next twelve months, our current operating plan is focused on the development and sale of fitness equipment, training and competition cages / rings, surfaces, athletic training and protective gear for the Mixed Martial Arts (“MMA”), fitness, training, and exercise industry.
Our long term growth strategy includes expanding our presence in the fitness, training, and exercise community; leveraging our MMA core credibility and heritage; developing strategic alliances; and acquiring other companies in the fitness, training, and exercise industry to leverage our asset base, manufacturing infrastructure, market presence, and experienced personnel.
As is discussed further in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below, we have limited funds to support our operations. Our continuation as a going concern subsequent to the year ended June 30, 2016 is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing to fund the continued operation of our business model for a long enough period to achieve profitable operations. Based on our current business plan, we currently estimate we will need up to an additional $750,000 of financing to execute our business plan over the next twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that such financing will be available or, if it is available, that we will be able to structure such financing on terms acceptable to us and that it will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements until we can reach a level of profitable operations and positive cash flows. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may be unable to continue as a going concern.
Year ended June 30, 2016 Compared to the Year Ended June 30, 2015:
Our revenue, operating expenses, and net income (loss) from operations for the year ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the twelve month period ended June 30, 2015 are set forth below.

Revenues.Revenues consist of product sales and nominal royalties. Total revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 were $2,357,760, an increase of $318,521, or 15.6%, from $2,039,239 of total revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015. Product sales increased $508,547, or 27.7%, to $2,342,347 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 from $1,833,800 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in product sales is attributable to increased selling efforts and momentum during the twelve months ended June 30, 2016. Royalties from international distributors were $15,413 and $205,439 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in royalties is attributable to a lack of royalties from our Brazilian partner due to the current economic climate in Brazil.
Cost of Revenues. Total cost of revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 were $1,326,036, a decrease of $92,459, or 6.5%, from $1,418,495 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015. Cost of product sales during the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 were 56.6% as compared to 77.4% during the twelve months ended June 30, 2015. Cost of revenues decreased during the period due to a shift to lower cost manufacturers and improved supply chain management.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $410,980 to $1,031,724 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016, from a gross profit of $620,744 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in gross profit reflects the decrease in product cost of sales during the twelve months ended June 30, 2016. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2016, we realized a 43.4% gross profit on our product sales as compared to a 22.6% gross profit on product sales during the twelve months ended June 30, 2015.
General and Administrative Expenses.General and administrative expenses increased by $367,562, or 24.1%, to $1,891,832 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 from $1,524,270 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015. General and administrative expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 are comprised of salaries and wages of $463,322, professional fees of $289,255, office expenses of $3,391, insurance of $110,135, rent of $182,952, travel credit of $65,051, stock-based compensation of $144,433, SEC financial reporting expenses of $394,513, and other of $238,180. General and administrative expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 are comprised of salaries and wages of $370,007, professional fees of $194,359, office expenses of $4,988, insurance of $53,512, rent of $59,747, travel of $59,076, Capital Commitment fee of $197,314, SEC registration expenses, (including accounting, legal, audit and filing fees) of $435,855, and other of $149,412. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 is comprised of an increase in salaries and wages of $93,315, an increase in professional fees of $94,896, a decrease in office expenses of $1,597, an increases in insurance expense of $56,623, an increase of $123,205 in rent expense, an increase in travel of $6,575, an increase in stock based compensation of $144,433, a decrease in Capital Commitment Fees of $197,314, a decrease in SEC expenses of $41,342, and a net $88,768 increase in other general and administrative expenses. The overall in general and administrative expenses is attributable to an increase in salary and wages, increased rent, an increase in travel, decreased expenses for SEC registration fees, and an increase in other general and administrative expenses.
Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expense increased $30,371, or 9.4%, to $353,421 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 from $323,050 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015. This increase in sales and marketing expenses is commensurate with a net 27.7% increase in our product sales during the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 and cost reductions.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $187,256 to $569,237 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 from $381,981 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015. The increase is largely due to the increased interest expense on the increased balance of the delayed draw note with the PIMCO Fund during the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 and the amortization of loan discounts and loan fees.
Other Income.During the twelve months ended June 30, 2016, and the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 we realized zero and $14,762 other income, respectively.
45 |
Net Loss.Net loss increased by $181,971 or 11.9% to a net loss of $1,782,766 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 from a net loss of $1,593,795 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015. This increase in our net loss is primarily attributable to the increased operating expenses, which was offset by our increased revenues, as discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As presented in the consolidated financial statements, we incurred a net loss of $1,782,766 during the twelve months ended June 30, 2016, and losses are expected to continue in the near term. The accumulated deficit since inception is $7,793,257 at June 30, 2016. We have been funding our operations through private loans and the sale of equity interests in private placement transactions and the registered shares through Kodiak. See our discussion of our Credit Facility with PIMCO and our Equity Purchase Agreement with Kodiak Capital below. Our cash resources are insufficient to meet our planned business objectives without additional financing. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of our company to continue as a going concern.
Management anticipates that significant additional expenditures will be necessary to further develop our product lines and licensing relationships to expand product sales and royalty revenues before significant positive operating cash flows can be achieved. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital and to ultimately achieve sustainable revenues and profitable operations. At June 30, 2016, we had $6,829 of cash on hand. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with our cash from operating activities will not be sufficient to fund operations and expected growth through at least the next twelve months. These funds are insufficient to complete our business plan and as a consequence, we will need to seek additional funds, primarily through the issuance of debt or equity securities for cash to operate our business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in case of equity financing.
Management has undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining our operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These steps include (a) raising additional capital and/or obtaining financing; (b) executing contracts with international licensees; and (c) controlling overhead and expenses. There can be no assurance that we can successfully accomplish these steps and it is uncertain that we will achieve a profitable level of operations and obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available to us on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all.
In the event we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may elect or be required to seek protection from our creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely occurrence.
The success of our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining new customers for our products and new licensees to generate royalty revenues, and maintaining a break even or profitable level of operations. We have incurred operating losses since inception, and this is likely to continue in the near future. We believe that we are able to fund our immediate operations, working capital requirements, and debt service requirements with existing working capital, cash flows generated from operations, and in the short term, under our investment agreement with GHS.
46 |
Our financial requirements will be dependent upon the financial support through credit facilities and additional sales of our equity securities. There can be no assurance, however, that such financing will be available or, if it is available, that we will be able to structure such financing on terms acceptable to us and that it will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements until we can reach a level of profitable operations and positive cash flows. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may be unable to continue as a going concern. Although there are strong indications of interest, we currently have no firm commitments for any additional capital.
The downturn in the United States stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our shares of common stock or the debt securities may cause us to be subject to restrictive covenants. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we may have to curtail our operations.
Cash, total current assets, total assets, total current liabilities and total liabilities as of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, were as follows:
June 30, 2016 | June 30, 2015 | |||||||

At June 30, 2016, we had a working capital deficit of $674,956 compared to a working capital deficit of $192,757 at June 30, 2015. Current liabilities increased to $1,263,665 at June 30, 2016 from $914,460 at June 30, 2015, primarily as a result of increases in accounts payable, decreases in customer deposits, and increases in inventory.
Our operating activities used net cash of $776,633 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 compared to net cash used in operations of $677,292 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015. The net cash used in operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016, reflects a net loss of $1,782,766, decreased by $686,694 in non-cash charges and by $319,439 net increase in the working capital accounts. The net cash used in operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 reflects a net loss of $1,593,795, decreased by $417,861 in non-cash charges and by $498,642 net increase in the working capital accounts.
Our net cash used in investing activities was $18,803 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016, comprised of $9,465 of intangible asset acquisitions and $9,338 of equipment acquisitions. Our cash used in investing activities for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015, was $65,735 that included $11,896 in purchases of intangible assets and $53,839 of equipment costs.
Our net cash provided by financing activities for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 was $751,249, which consisted of $500,000 in cash proceeds from our October 2015 draw-down on the PIMCO Note Payable, $54,226 in proceeds from the Wells Fargo Bank line of credit, offset by payment of $19,227 on the Wells Fargo Bank line of credit, proceeds of the Company’s stock sales yielded $116,250, and short term borrowing from Kodiak provided $100,000. Our net cash provided by financing activities for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 was $433,720 resulting primarily from $500,000 in proceeds from the PIMCO delayed draw note facility. This amount was offset by $40,311 of payment of related party payable and $25,969 of debt issuance costs.
Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 3, 2016 and Promissory Note due December 31, 2016
On May 3, 2016, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with a single accredited investor (“Investor”) under which we issued and sold to Investor a promissory note in the principal amount of $125,000 (the “Note”). The Note has a maturity date of December 31, 2016 and an original issue discount of $20,000. In addition, we agreed to pay Investor’s expenses up to $5,000 in connection with the SPA and issuance of the Note. Accordingly, we received net proceeds from Investor of $100,000, which proceeds were used for investor relation services.
47 |
So long as the Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by us of any security with any term more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that was not similarly provided to Investor in the Note or the Securities Purchase Agreement, then we will notify Investor of such additional or more favorable term and such term, at Investor’s option, shall become a part of the Note and/or Securities Purchase Agreement. The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms interest rates, and original issue discounts.
Interest shall not accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note unless an Event of Default occurs. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the outstanding balance of this Note shall bear interest at the lesser of the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum. The Note has a prepayment deadline of November 3, 2016. Events of Default under the Note include failure to pay any amounts when due, including on the prepayment deadline, breach of covenants or representations and warranties or upon voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.
At any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Investor may, by written notice to us, declare all unpaid principal, plus all accrued interest and other amounts due hereunder to be immediately due and payable at the an amount equal to 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note at the time of the default (“Mandatory Default Amount”); provided, however, that for an Event of Default for failure to pay the Note in full on the Prepayment Deadline, Investor will not accelerate the Note unless we fail to pay the Mandatory Default Amount (plus all accrued interest from and after the Event of Default) on the Maturity Date.
Credit Facility
On June 10, 2014, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with PIMCO Funds: Private Account Portfolio Series: PIMCO High Yield Portfolio, a separate investment portfolio of PIMCO Funds, a Massachusetts business trust (“PIMCO”) that authorized the issuance of up to $2,500,000. On June 12, 2014, we entered into a Senior Secured Note (“Note”) whereby we drew $1,500,000. The note bears interest at 14% and matures on July 12, 2017. Interest is payable monthly in arrears, provided that if no event of default has occurred, Obligor can elect to pay cash interest on each payment date at 9%, with the additional unpaid interest due on such dates added to the principal balance, The note bears an effective interest rate of 21%. This Note is collateralized by all of our assets, subject to a priority perfected security interest granted under our factoring facility with Crown. The Note includes various covenants, including but not limited to, having annual audited financial statements within 90 days of the end of the fiscal year.
On February 6, 2015, we drew an additional $500,000 under this facility to increase the principal amount payable (including the accrued interest added to the principal amount) under this note to $2,044,300 and on October 20, 2015, we drew the remaining $500,000 available under this facility to increase the amount payable under this note (with accrued interest) to $2,620,098 as of October 20, 2015. We issued 50,000 shares of our common stock to PIMCO as a loan fee in consideration of the October 2015 draw down. A replacement note was issued on each draw down date to reflect the note increase.
Crown Financial, LLC Factoring Agreement
On August 3, 2016 we entered into an Agreement with Crown Financial, LLC which advances 80% of invoices approved and assumed by Crown for collection. Depending on the length of time taken to collect the invoices we will receive additional payments from Crown ranging from 18.25% if collected within 20 days to 0% if collected in 120 days. Crown has the right to require us to repurchase unpaid invoices outstanding for more than 120 days. PIMCO has waived its security interest in invoices assigned to Crown.
GHS Investment Agreement
On August 13, 2016 we entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with GHS Investments, LLC (“GHS”).
48 |
Although we are not mandated to sell shares under the Investment Agreement, the Investment Agreement gives us the option to sell to GHS, up to $5,000,000 worth of our common stock (“Shares”), over the period following effectiveness of the registration of a registration statement covering the resale of the Shares (the “Effective Date”) and ending thirty-six (36) months after the Effective Date. Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, we have the right to deliver from time to time a Put Notice to GHS stating the dollar amount of Put Shares (up to $500,000 under any individual Put Notice)(the “Put Amount”) that we intend to sell to GHS with the price per share based on the following formula: the lesser of (a) the lowest sale price for the Common Stock on the date of the Put Notice (the “Put Notice Date”); or (b) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest trading prices for the Company’s Common Stock during the five trading days following the Put Notice Date. The maximum number of shares that can be put to GHS is two times the average daily trading volume during the ten trading days prior to the closing of a put (the “Closing Date”). If the amount of the tranche of our outstanding shares exceeds the volume limitation, additional tranches will be delivered until the entire Purchase Amount is delivered. Each tranche, including the initial tranche, will trigger a new purchase price, and will be priced according to the purchase price definition.
In addition, there is an ownership limit for GHS of 9.99% of our outstanding shares.
On any Closing Date, we shall deliver to GHS the number of shares of the Common Stock registered in the name of GHS as specified in the Put Notice. In addition, we must deliver the other required documents, instruments and writings required. GHS is not required to purchase the shares unless:
● | Our Registration Statement with respect to the resale of the shares of Common Stock delivered in connection with the applicable Put shall have been declared effective. | |
● | at all times during the period beginning on the date of the Put Notice and ending on the date of the related closing, our common stock has been listed on the Principal Market as defined in the Investment Agreement (which includes, among others, the OTC Market: QB Tier) and shall not have been suspended from trading thereon. |
● | we have complied with its obligations and is otherwise not in breach of or in default under the Investment Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or any other agreement executed in connection therewith; | |
● | no injunction has been issued and remains in force, and no action has been commenced by a governmental authority which has not been stayed or abandoned, prohibiting the purchase or the issuance of the Put Shares; and | |
● | the issuance of the Put Shares will not violate any shareholder approval requirements of the market or exchange on which our common stock is principally listed. |
GHS will not engage in any “short-sale” (as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO) of our common stock at any time during this Agreement. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement with GHS, we agreed to pay a fee equaling $250,000 or 5%of the Commitment Amount (the“Commitment Fee”) which shall be paid in installments of Fifty Thousand ($50,000) beginning on the earlier of (i) the Effective Date of the Registration Statement and (ii) January 1, 2017 and, the first Trading Day of each January, April, July and October thereafter until fully paid. Each installment of the Commitment Fee shall be paid either in cash or, at the election of the Company, in shares of Common Stock, which shall be deemed a put under the Investment Agreement. On August 13, 2016, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with GHS requiring, among other things that we prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of the shares issuable to GHS under the Investment Agreement. As per the Investment Agreement, GHS’ obligations are not assignable.

Equity Purchase Agreement with Kodiak Capital LLC
On December 17, 2014, we entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (“Equity Purchase Agreement”) with Kodiak Capital LLC. The Equity Purchase Agreement provides us with a financing (the “Financing” ) whereby the registrant can issue and sell to Kodiak, from time to time, shares of our common stock (the “Put Shares” ) up to an aggregate purchase price of $5.0 million (the “Maximum Commitment Amount”) during the Commitment Period (as defined below). Under the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement, we have the right to deliver from time to time a Put Notice to Kodiak stating the dollar amount of Put Shares (up to $500,000 under any individual Put Notice) that we intend to sell to Kodiak with the price per share based on the following formula: seventy-five percent (75%) of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock during the period beginning on the date of the Put Notice and ending five (5) days thereafter. Under the Equity Purchase Agreement, we may not deliver the Put Notice until after the resale of the Put Shares has been registered pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additionally, provided that the Equity Purchase Agreement does not terminate earlier, during the period beginning on March 24, 2016 (the trading day immediately following the effectiveness of the registration statement) and ending December 31, 2016, we may deliver the Put Notice or Notices (up to the Maximum Commitment Amount) to Kodiak (the “Commitment Period”). In addition, in no event shall Kodiak be entitled to purchase that number of Put Shares which when added to the sum of the number of shares of common stock already beneficially owned by Kodiak would exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the applicable closing date.
The Equity Purchase Agreement also provides that we are not entitled to deliver a Put Notice, and Kodiak shall not be obligated to purchase any Put Shares, unless each of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) a registration statement has been declared effective and remains effective for the resale of the Put Shares until the closing with respect to the subject Put Notice; (ii) at all times during the period beginning on the date of the Put Notice and ending on the date of the related closing, our common stock has been listed on the Principal Market as defined in the Equity Purchase Agreement (which includes, among others, the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and the OTC Market Group’s OTC Link quotation system) and shall not have been suspended from trading thereon; (iii) we have complied with its obligations and is otherwise not in breach of or in default under the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or any other agreement executed in connection therewith; (iv) no injunction has been issued and remains in force, and no action has been commenced by a governmental authority which has not been stayed or abandoned, prohibiting the purchase or the issuance of the Put Shares; and (v) the issuance of the Put Shares will not violate any shareholder approval requirements of the market or exchange on which our common stock are principally listed.
The Equity Purchase Agreement will terminate when any of the following events occur: (i) Kodiak has purchased an aggregate of $5.0 million of our common stock, (ii) on December 31, 2016 or (iii) upon written notice from us to Kodiak.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(5) Each Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than Prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or Prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
i. Any preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
ii. Any free writing Prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
iii. The portion of any other free writing Prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
iv. Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
