NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2014

Note 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to U.S. GAAP rules and regulations for presentation of interim financial information. Therefore, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. Current and future financial statements may not be directly comparable to the Company’s historical financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2014 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Form10-K. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2015.

When used in these notes, the terms "Company," "we," "our," or "us" mean Banjo & Matilda, Inc. and its subsidiary.

Note 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Exchange Gain (Loss)

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the transactions of the Company were denominated in foreign currency and were recorded in Australian dollar (AUD) at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occurred. Exchange gains and losses are recognized for the different foreign exchange rates applied when the foreign currency assets and liabilities are settled.

Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The accounts of the Company were maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in AUD. Such financial statements were translated into USD with the AUD as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, stockholder’s equity is translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the statements of operations. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income as a component of shareholders’ equity. There were no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of AUD to USD after the balance sheet date.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include collectability of accounts receivable, accounts payable, sales returns and recoverability of long-term assets.

Reportable Segment

The Company has one reportable segment. The Company’s activities are interrelated and each activity is dependent upon and supportive of the other. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based on analysis of financial products provided as a single global business.

Liquidity Matters

Based upon its current projection of revenue, management believes that its current cash position and available financing provide sufficient resources and operating flexibility through at least the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that projected revenue growth and improvement in operating results will occur or that the Company will successfully implement its plans. In the event cash flow from operations is not sufficient, additional sources of financing will be required in order to maintain the Company’s current operations. Whereas management believes it will have access to other financing sources, no assurance can be given that such additional sources of financing will be available on acceptable terms, on a timely basis or at all.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. Revenue generally is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of inventory costs, as well as warehousing costs (including the cost of warehouse labor), shipping, importation duties and charges, third party royalties, and product sampling.

Operating Overhead Expense

Operating overhead expense consists primarily of payroll and benefit related costs, rent, depreciation and amortization, professional services, and meetings and travel.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income tax. Under the liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are provided based on the difference between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities measured by the current enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which these differences are expected to reverse.

The Company has adopted accounting standards for the accounting for uncertain income taxes. These standards provide guidance for the accounting and disclosure about uncertain tax positions taken. Management believes that all of the positions taken in its federal and states income tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination.

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had not taken any significant uncertain tax positions on its tax returns for 2013 and prior years or in computing its tax provision for 2014.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base across many markets, predominantly Australia, United States of America, United Kingdom, Europe and the Middle East. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited. In addition, Receivables that are factored through the Company’s Receivable finance facility are guaranteed by the finance company that further mitigates Credit Risk.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks from, among other things, competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

Cash and Equivalents

Cash and equivalents include cash in hand and cash in demand deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. At December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the Company had $11,132 and $33,367 in cash in Australia and not covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. There were no allowances for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014.

Inventory

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value and allowance is made to write down inventories to market value, if lower. As of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, inventory only consisted of the following:

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. The estimated useful lives of our property and equipment are generally as follows: computer software developed or acquired for internal use, three to 10 years; computer equipment, two to three years; buildings and improvements, five to 15 years; leasehold improvements, two to 10 years; and furniture and equipment, one to five years.

As of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, fixed assets consisted of the following:

Depreciation was $1,311 and $2,180 for three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Depreciation was $2,003 and $3,527 for six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815.

As of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic net income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all the potential common shares, warrants and stock options had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted EPS is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for the outstanding options and the if-converted method for the outstanding convertible preferred shares. Under the treasury stock method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Under the if-converted method, convertible outstanding instruments are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later).

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for three and six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings or losses of the entity. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, basic and diluted loss per share are the same since the calculation of diluted per share amounts would result in an anti-dilutive calculation.

Intangible Assets

The Company records identifiable intangible assets at fair value on the date of acquisition and evaluates the useful life of each asset.

Finite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of software development capitalized. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis and are tested for recoverability if events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. These intangibles have useful lives ranging from 1 to 10 years. No events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment existed as of December 31, 2014.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no new accounting pronouncements during the three months ended December 31, 2014 that the Company believes would have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or cash flow.

Note 3 – GOING CONCERN

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,313,606 as of December 31, 2014.

While the Company is attempting to improve operations and generate profits, the Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate profits provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 – OTHER ASSETS

Other assets consist of the following as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014:

Note 5 – OTHER RECEIVABLE

Other receivable consist of the following as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014:

Note 6 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets consist of the following as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014:

The intangible assets are amortized over 1 to 10 years. Amortization expense was $1,709 and $1,096 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively. Amortization expense was $4,286 and $2,980 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively.

Amortization for the Company’s intangible assets over the next five years from December 31, 2014 is estimated to be:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report and with the financial statements and notes thereto for and as at the year ended June 30, 2014 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on October 14, 2014. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Company background

On November 14, 2013, we, then known as Banjo & Matilda, Inc., a Nevada corporation, consummated a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange”) with Banjo & Matilda Pty Ltd, a corporation organized under the laws of Australia (“Banjo & Matilda”) and the shareholders of Banjo & Matilda (“B&M Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Banjo & Matilda, making it our wholly-owned subsidiary.

The Share Exchange was accounted for as a recapitalization of Banjo & Matilda effected by a share exchange, where Banjo & Matilda is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Consequently, the historical consolidated financial statements of Bano & Matilda, the Australian entity, are now the historical financial statements of Banjo & Matilda, Inc., the reporting company. The net assets and liabilities of Banjo & Matilda, Inc., as of the date of the consummation of the Share Exchange were brought forward at their book value and no goodwill was recognized. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to “we,” “us, “our company” and the like, for periods prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange should be understood to be references to Banjo & Matilda, the Australian entity and, from and after the consummation of the Share Exchange to the ongoing reporting company and its subsidiaries.

Founded in 2008 by Sydney designer Belinda Storelli Macpherson and her husband, Ben Macpherson, Banjo & Matilda designs, manufactures, sells and distributes premium contemporary luxury knitwear. Our products principally consist of cashmere products targeted at the premium contemporary knitwear category. Knitwear represents approximately 30% of all apparel sales in the Northern Hemisphere, and there are very few knitwear only brands. By focusing exclusively on this market our company will have a large global sales opportunity.

We do not own any manufacturing facilities and rely upon third party contract manufacturers, mainly in China, to produce our products. Our products are distributed and sold through our website, www.banjoandmatilda.com, augmented by e-media campaigns and advertising; through our own branded store, and through wholesalers to major department stores and independent retailers. Our brand has experienced strong and consistent year-on-year revenue growth.

Our revenues are largely determined by the volume of products we sell and our ability to sell these products timely and at full, as opposed to discounted prices. Our cost of sales is largely determined by the price we pay to have our products manufactured, which, in turn, is determined by the quality of the fabrics used in our products and the intricacies of the manufacturing process. In addition to our cost of sales, our profitability is determined by such corporate and overhead items as marketing, payroll, administration and occupancy expenses, and the cost of financing used to increase our sales.

Results of Operations

The following discussion of the results of operations constitutes management’s view of the factors that affected the financial and operating performance for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. The Company has a June 30 fiscal year end. 

The accounts of Banjo & Matilda are maintained, and its consolidated financial statements are expressed, in Australian dollars.Such financial statements were translated into United States Dollars with the Australian Dollar as the functional currency to prepare the consolidated financial statements included in this Report. All assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the consolidated statements of operations. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ deficit.

Management summary for the three months ended December 31, 2014

Revenues grew by 144% from the corresponding quarter last year. However the full impact of adding additional wholesale accounts is not yet fully reflected in our sales. While the company has increased revenues, gross profit and gross margins, the company is still recording a loss while it is increasing resources to grow and achieve critical mass and profitability.

December 2014 Quarter Financial Highlights

Revenue:

Revenue continued to increase during the quarter by 144% to $1,038,418 compared to the same period prior year as new wholesale accounts were added and previously secured wholesale accounts impacted revenue. Online and retail sales increased as brand awareness, web site visitors and repeat customer transactions grew.

Wholesale sales increased 173% over the prior year, as a result of the increased number of retailers selling our products. Wholesale retail outlet "Doors" increased 1,017% to 201 from 18 at the end of December 2013.  Wholesale sales were 72% of total sales compared to 62% on the prior year.

Online sales through our e-commerce websites increased 21%, however visits increased 264% from the prior year, transaction volume increased 10%, and, Average Order Value (AOV) increased 14%.  Online sales were 26% of total sales compared with 23% for the same period prior year. E-commerce visit to sale conversion rates decreased as the company focused on its growing wholesale business, but we have now hired a senior director of e-commerce with significant experience in driving conversion rates and e-commerce marketing to capitalize on the significant growth in visits.

Retail sales increased 418% due to a more integrated e-commerce and physical store program where online orders can be made in store and vice versa, retail sales increased significantly as a significant portion of online sales were recorded through our retail store.

Total DTC sales (Direct to Consumer inclusive of e-commerce and physical stores) increased 69%.

Management summary for the six months ended December 31, 2014

December 2014 Six Months Financial Highlights

Revenue: 

Revenue for the six months ending December 31 2014 increased 87% to $1,785,181 compared to the same period prior year as the start of the wholesale program began to impact sales, and e-commerce grew based on our increased presence in North American retail outlets and resultant general brand awareness. 

Wholesale sales increased 94% over the prior year, as a result of the increased number of retailers selling our products. Wholesale retail outlet "Doors" increased 1,017% to 201 from 18 at the end of December 2013.  Wholesale sales were 70% of total sales compared to 61% on the prior year.

Online sales through our e-commerce websites increased 21%, however visits increased 207% from the prior year.  The significant increase in traffic, mainly due to the greater brand awareness through the growth of our wholesale distribution program, yet lower visitor to sale e-commerce conversion rates, primarily due to greater focus on our wholesale distribution program, represents a significant revenue opportunity by improving e-commerce conversion rates.

Our retail sales increased 55% through the period, and DTC sales (Direct to Consumer inclusive of e-commerce and physical store) increased 30%.  

Cost of Sales, Gross Profit and Gross Margin:

Gross Profit increased from 38% to 44% or $791,449 compared to the same period in the prior year. Increases are due to our ability to lower costs with increased volume.

LIQUIDITY and CAPITAL RESOURCES

We will continue to borrow to acquire inventory and fund sales. The rates at which we can acquire funds will directly impact our ability to operate profitably and generate positive cash flow.  In addition to relying upon debt, we will seek to raise equity to support our efforts to grow.  There is no assurance that debt or equity financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all, and, in all events, the sale of equity or instruments convertible into equity will dilute the interests of our current shareholders.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable as the Company is a smaller reporting company

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

At the end of the period covered by this report we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Brendan Macpherson, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation included an evaluation of our financial controls. Since our Chief Executive Officer also serves as our Chief Financial Officer and we do not have financial and accounting personnel thoroughly familiar with U.S. GAAP and U.S. securities laws and regulations, we have a deficiency in our financial controls. This deficiency in our financial controls and procedures constitutes a deficiency in our disclosure controls and procedures in that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified for each report and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. This deficiency will not be considered remediated until we hire accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge and experience concerning U.S. GAAP and the U.S. securities laws.

b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
