XERIANT, INC. - Annual Report: 2015 (Form 10-K)

Acquisition of Banjo & Matilda Pty Ltd.

Prior to the acquisition of Banjo & Matilda Pty Ltd. under the Exchange Agreement defined below, we were a development stage company without any operating revenues or earnings. Time and resources of the then-management was dedicated to organize the Registrant, obtain interim financing (including a public offering in December 2010 of a minimum of 1.5 million shares of common stock for $75,000 by former management of the Registrant), and develop a business plan.

On November 14, 2013, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with Banjo & Matilda Pty Ltd, ("Banjo & Matilda") and the shareholders of Banjo & Matilda ("B&M Shareholders"). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Banjo & Matilda was acquired, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours (the "Transaction"). There was no prior relationship between the Company and its affiliates and Banjo & Matilda and its affiliates.

In consideration for the purchase of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Banjo & Matilda under the Exchange Agreement, we issued B&M Shareholders an aggregate of 18,505,539 restricted shares of common stock of the Company.

On November 15, 2013, we entered into an employment agreement with the Banjo & Matilda co-founders: Brendan Macpherson, as the Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant, and Belinda Storelli Macpherson, as its Chief Creative Officer. Each employment agreement has an initial term of three years and will automatically renew for an additional term of three years. Either party may elect not to renew the Employment Agreement by written notice delivered to the other party no later than August 30^th of the final year of the term. In addition, either employee may terminate the employment agreement upon 30 days written notice.

On July 1^st 2015, the operations of Banjo & Matilda Pty Ltd were transferred to Banjo & Matilda (Australia) Pty Ltd. A wholly owned subsidiary of Banjo & Matilda Inc.

Company Overview

Banjo & Matilda was founded by Australian born Creative Director Belinda Storelli Macpherson in 2009, after an extensive career in publicity, fashion publishing and marketing. Prior company's where Belinda worked include Grazia, Harpers Bazaar and Maddison fashion magazines, major film studios including Warner Brothers, Universal Studios and Columbia Tri-Star Pictures; and, the Australian tourism industry marketing body Tourism Australia. Belinda also founded her own publicity firm "Global Artist" which she successfully sold to a larger group in 2002.

Belinda identified the emerging casualization of the luxury fashion market and combined her passion for cashmere, the Australian beach lifestyle and frustration over the lack of accessible quality cashmere to create a new, more relevant luxury brand. One that was born on line as a direct to consumer e-commerce model thereby eliminating the unnecessary margin's that department and specialty stores take, enabling the brand to focus on a luxury quality product, but without inflated luxury prices.

General Market issues; Market opportunity

The traditional apparel market sales model is experiencing significant changes due to the challenges physical store retailers are experiencing. This is negatively impacting fashion businesses which rely primarily on the traditional wholesale to retail sales due to lower sales, higher returns and discounts caused by struggling physical retailers. E-commerce spending in the apparel and luxury sectors has reached a critical mass which enables brands like Banjo & Matilda to build a direct to consumer e-commerce model which cuts out the unnecessary retail mark up to department and specialty stores and build a successful brand/business.

Total global apparel sales reached $1.1T+ in 2014 with personal luxury goods spending accounting for $260B, equal to approximately 25% of apparel sales. Online luxury goods sales are growing 4 times faster than physical store sales, reaching $15B in 2014, and are expected to triple through 2019.

Our Products

Banjo & Matilda offers a comprehensive line of luxury women's cashmere knitwear including sweaters and pants, and accessories such as cashmere scarves, slippers, eye-masks and travel blankets. Banjo & Matilda also collaborates with high profile artists or celebrities to create exclusive limited edition pieces. In 2013, we collaborated with singer Bryan Adams and prior collaborations include prominent businesswoman, television host, model and actress Elle Macpherson, British artist Tracey Emin and Australian singer/songwriter, model and actress Natalie Imbrugila and most recently Gwyneth Paltrow's successful lifestyle blog GOOP. The company is planning to expand its product lines to include broader lifestyle offering of apparel items, home products, menswear, children's apparel, and gifts.

Product Manufacturing

Banjo & Matilda use third party contract manufacturers rather than operating manufacturing facilities itself. All yarns and fabrics are sourced from reputable suppliers. Materials used are typically the highest grade that can be sourced. Banjo & Matilda works with a number of manufacturers; during fiscal 2015; no single manufacturer produced more than 35% of our products. Our manufacturers provide us with the speed to market necessary to respond quickly to changing trends and increased demand. We have developed a solid relationship with our manufacturers and take great care to ensure that they share Banjo & Matilda's commitment to quality and ethics. We do not, however, have any long-term agreements requiring us to use any manufacturer, and no manufacturer is required to produce our products in the long-term. We regularly secure and test new manufacturing partners and believe that the services of additional, or other, manufacturers and/or suppliers of our fabrics can continue to be obtained with little or no additional expense to us and/or delay in the timeliness of our production process.

Product Distribution

We commenced our business as an e-commerce only direct to consumer model. In fiscal 2013 year we embarked on a strategic wholesale program to assist driving brand awareness and revenue growth in the Northern Hemisphere markets. Through the 2015 period in conjunction with our relocation to the US we scaled the wholesale business and operations reaching 200+ retail outlets, stocked in major department stores and key independent boutiques. As a result of this scaling, lower gross margins from wholesale sales, and general market conditions we withdrew from the wholesale distribution channel in January 2016 to focus on our core e-commerce model and strategy.

Competition

There is meaningful competition in the luxury apparel industry with emphasis on the brand image and recognition as well as product quality, style, and distribution. Banjo & Matilda successfully competes thanks to a premium and unique brand, unique designs, and attainable price points previously not available in the luxury product sector. This enables the brand to acquire and keep customers which would not typically purchase traditional luxury products due to the much higher price points. There are limited entrants into the market with similar cashmere focused e-commerce offerings which directly compete in terms of product quality and price point.

Intellectual Property

Banjo & Matilda has registered trademarks in Australia and the USA. We believe we own the material trademarks used in connection with the marketing, distribution and sale of all of our products in Australia, the United States, and Europe (and in the other countries in which our products are currently or intended to be either sold or manufactured). We also own the (i) website URL's including and associated to banjoandmatilda.com (as well as banjoandmatilda.au, banjoandmatilda.com, thesweaterexchange.com etc.), (ii) account "@BanjoMatilda" on Twitter, (iii) account "@Banjoandmatilda" on Instagram and (iv) Facebook page "Banjo & Matilda". We also maintain an account on Pinterest.com.

Employees

As of June, 2015 we had twelve employees located in Australia, Hong Kong and the United States. Since exiting the wholesale business, the employee count has been reduced as of June 1, 2016 to six located across Australia and the United States.

Key Management

Item 1A. Risk Factors

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. In evaluating us and our business, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included herein. The risks provided below may not be all the risks we face. If any of events described in the risks below actually occurs, our financial condition or operating results may be materially and adversely affected, the price of our common stock may decline, perhaps significantly, and you could lose all or a part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business

Any material disruption of our information systems could disrupt our business and reduce our sales. We are dependent on information systems to operate our e-commerce websites, process transactions, respond to guest inquiries, manage inventory, purchase, sell and ship goods on a timely basis and maintain cost-efficient operations. Any material disruption or slowdown of our systems, including a disruption or slowdown caused by our failure to successfully upgrade our systems, system failures, viruses, computer "hackers" or other causes, could cause information, including data related to customer orders, to be lost or delayed which could result in delays in the delivery of products to our retail and wholesale customers or lost sales, which could reduce demand for our products and cause our sales to decline. If changes in technology cause our information systems to become obsolete, or if our information systems are inadequate to handle our growth, we could lose retail or wholesale customers.

The fluctuating cost of raw materials, particularly cashmere, could increase our cost of goods sold and cause our results of operations and financial condition to suffer. The fabric used to make our products is primarily cashmere, although we also use natural fibers, including cotton. Our costs for raw materials are affected by, among other things, weather, consumer demand, speculation on the commodities market, the relative valuations and fluctuations of the currencies of producer versus consumer countries and other factors that are generally unpredictable and beyond our control. Increases in the cost of raw materials, including petroleum or the prices we pay for our yarn, could have a material adverse effect on our cost of goods sold, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The apparel industry is heavily influenced by general macroeconomic cycles that affect consumer spending, and a prolonged period of depressed consumer spending could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. The apparel industry has historically been subject to cyclical variations, recessions in the general economy and uncertainties regarding future economic prospects that can affect consumer spending habits. Purchases of luxury items, such as our products, tend to decline during recessionary periods, when disposable income is lower. The success of our operations depends on a number of factors impacting discretionary consumer spending, including general economic conditions, consumer confidence, wages and unemployment, housing prices, consumer debt, interest rates, fuel and energy costs, taxation and political conditions. A continuation or worsening of the current weakness in the global economy or the economy in our key markets (Australia, the United States and Europe) may negatively affect consumer and wholesale purchases of our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Privacy breaches and other cyber security risks related to our e-commerce business could negatively affect our reputation, credibility and business. We are responsible for storing data relating to our customers and employees and rely on third parties for the operation of parts of our e-commerce website, banjoandmatilda.com, and for the various social media tools and websites we use as part of our marketing strategy. Our online store on our website is operated by a third-party provider. Consumers, lawmakers and consumer advocates alike are increasingly concerned over the security of personal information transmitted over the Internet, consumer identity theft and privacy. We require that our third-party service provider implements reasonable security measures to protect our customers' identity and privacy. We do not, however, control these third-party service providers and cannot guarantee that no electronic or physical computer break-ins and security breaches will occur in the future. Likewise, our systems and technology are subject to the risk of system failures, viruses, "hackers" and other causes that are out of our control. Any perceived or actual unauthorized disclosure of personally identifiable information regarding our customers or website visitors could harm our reputation and credibility, reduce our online sales, impair our ability to attract website visitors and reduce our ability to attract and retain customers, and potentially expose us to significant related liability. Finally, we could incur significant costs in complying with the multitude of local, national and foreign laws regarding the use and unauthorized disclosure of personal information (to the extent they are applicable). We also may incur significant costs in our implementation of additional security measures to comply with applicable laws and industry standards and to further protect customer data.

If our manufacturing contractors fail to use acceptable, ethical business practices, our business and reputation could suffer. We do not own or operate any manufacturing facilities. We use third-party contract manufacturers, mostly in China. We require our manufacturing contractors to operate in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations regarding working conditions, employment practices and environmental compliance. Additionally, we impose upon our business partners operating guidelines that require additional obligations in those three areas in order to promote ethical business practices, and our staff and third parties we retain for such purposes periodically visit and monitor the operations of our manufacturing contractors to determine compliance. However, we do not control our manufacturing contractors or their labor and other business practices. If one of our manufacturing contractors violates applicable labor or other laws, rules or regulations or implements labor or other business practices that are generally regarded as unethical in our markets, such as Australia, Europe or the United States, the shipment of finished products to us could be interrupted, orders could be cancelled, relationships could be terminated and our reputation could be damaged. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Due to the highly competitive nature of the apparel industry, our success depends on our ability to meet consumer demands, respond to fashion trends, and provide superior quality. There is intense competition in the sector of the apparel industry in which Banjo & Matilda participates. Banjo & Matilda competes with many other apparel companies, some of which are larger and have greater financial resources, more comprehensive product lines; longer-standing relationships with suppliers, manufacturers, and retailers; greater distribution and marketing capabilities; and, stronger brand recognition and loyalty than Banjo & Matilda. Our competitors' greater capabilities in these areas may enable them to better differentiate their products from Banjo & Matilda, withstand periodic downturns in the apparel industry, compete more effectively on the basis of price and production and more quickly develop new products. Management of Banjo & Matilda believes in order to be successful in this industry we must be able to evaluate and respond to changing consumer demand and taste and to remain competitive in the areas of style and quality while operating within the significant domestic and foreign production and delivery constraints of the industry.

Our inability to successfully manage the growth of our business may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We intend to continue our growth strategy to grow our online customer base and sales, wholesale customer base, expand our product offerings and add retail stores. Our ability to execute this growth strategy is subject to significant risks, some of which are beyond our control, including:

Our future success will be highly dependent upon our ability to manage successfully the expansion of our operations. Our ability to manage and support our growth effectively will be substantially dependent on our ability to implement adequate improvements to our financial, inventory, and management controls, and hire sufficient numbers of effective financial, accounting, administrative, and management personnel. We may not succeed in our efforts to identify, attract and retain such personnel.

We are already highly leveraged and our growth strategies require significant capital investments and may require us to seek external financing, which may not be available on terms favorable to us. Our business operations and growth strategies require substantial capital investments, the availability of which depends on our ability to generate cash flow from operations, borrow funds on satisfactory terms and raise funds in the capital markets. Our ability to arrange for financing to support our capital expenditures and the cost of such financing are dependent on numerous factors, including general economic and capital markets conditions, interest rates and credit availability from banks or other lenders, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, increases in interest rates or the failure to obtain external financing on terms favorable to us will affect our financing costs and our results of operations. We are already highly leveraged and rely on capital contributions and loans from our principal shareholders and third parties, including: the $250,000 Convertible Note from Raymond Key secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets, two loans from KBM Worldwide Inc. in the amount, collectively, of $148,600; a $1.5 million trade facility with Sallyport Commercial Finance, a factoring and asset-based lending company; and a Loan Facility Agreement with Harboursafe Holdings (which company is controlled by our chief executive officer, Brendan Macpherson) in the amount of approximately $963,000, secured by our intellectual property. We may not be able to obtain future financing in amounts or on terms acceptable to us.

In addition, we sell our knitwear worldwide and purchases of our knitwear are made in foreign currencies and recorded in Australian dollars at exchange rates then in effect. We also transact business with wholesalers, retail outlets, manufacturers and distributors in various foreign countries, including China, Europe and the United States. Transactions are denominated in foreign currencies and recorded in Australian dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the time of each transaction. Exchange gains and losses are recognized for the different foreign exchange rates applied when the foreign currency assets and liabilities are settled. Any material fluctuations in exchange rates between the Australian dollar and these foreign currencies could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

We are required to make significant estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our financial statements and our estimates and assumptions may not be accurate. The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires our management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Critical estimates include, among other things, the collectability of accounts receivable, accounts payable, sales returns and recoverability of long-term assets. If our underlying estimates and assumptions prove to be incorrect, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially different from that reported in our financial statements.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock and Our Status as a Public Company

We may need to raise additional capital by sales of our common stock, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and your rights in us may be reduced. We will need to raise additional funds to expand our online sales, increase wholesale sales, expand our product lines and add retail stores. In order to satisfy our funding requirements, we may consider issuing additional debt or equity securities. If we issue equity or convertible debt securities to raise such additional funds, our existing stockholders may experience dilution, and the new equity or debt securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. If we incur additional debt, it may increase our leverage relative to our earnings or to our equity capitalization, requiring us to pay additional interest expenses and potentially lower our credit ratings. We may not be able to market such issuances on favorable terms, or at all, in which case, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products, execute our business plan, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures.

There is a limited public trading market for our common stock, which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.Our common stock is not listed on any exchange; it is quoted on the OTCQB quotation service. We have not engaged a broker-dealer to make a market in our common stock. There has been a limited trading market for our common stock in the past and there can be no assurance that a trading market in our shares of common stock will develop and be sustained. The trading market for securities of companies quoted on the OTCQB or other quotation systems is substantially less liquid than the average trading market for companies listed on Nasdaq or a national securities exchange. The quotation of our shares on the OTCQB or other quotation system may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential shareholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future. Holders of our common stock should be willing to hold onto their shares for a long period of time.

State securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you can sell the shares offered by this prospectus. Secondary trading in our common stock will not be possible in any state until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, the common stock in any particular state, the common stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for the common stock could be significantly impacted thus causing you to realize a loss on your investment.

Brendan Macpherson, our Chief Executive Officer, has significant influence over us, including control over decisions that require the approval of stockholders, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including a change of control. Brendan Macpherson, our Chief Executive Officer, owns significant portion of our outstanding shares of common stock, and 1,000,000 shares of super-voting preferred stock until his employment agreement expires or terminates, and consequently has effective control over our business, including matters requiring the approval of our stockholders, such as election of directors, approval of significant corporate transactions and the timing and distribution of dividends, if any, on our common stock. In addition, Mr. Macpherson controls our policies and operations, including, among other things, the appointment of management, future issuances of our common stock or other securities, the incurrence of debt by us, and the entering into of extraordinary transactions.

Mr. Macpherson may have interests that do not align with the interests of our other stockholders, including with regard to pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, and other transactions that, in his judgment, could enhance his equity value, even though such transactions might involve risks to our other stockholders. For example, Mr. Macpherson could cause us to make acquisitions that increase our indebtedness. Mr. Macpherson will have effective control over our decisions to enter into such corporate transactions regardless of whether others believe that any transaction is in our best interests. Such control may have the effect of delaying, preventing, or deterring a change of control of our company, could deprive stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of our company, and might ultimately affect the market price of our common stock.

We will incur significant costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance requirements, including establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting, and we may be exposed to potential risks if we are unable to comply with these requirements. As a public company we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, together with rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable market regulators. These rules impose various requirements on public companies, including requiring certain corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal controls for financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In particular, we must perform system and process evaluations and testing of our internal controls over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Compliance with Section 404 may require that we incur substantial accounting expenses and expend significant management efforts. We have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective due to material weaknesses identified in our internal controls over financial reporting. These material weaknesses include: lack of a full-time Chief Financial Officer with accounting expertise, lack of a formal review process and ineffective oversight due to the lack of an audit committee comprised of independent directors. Remediating these weaknesses will require the expenditure of capital to hire additional staff and other measures. If we cannot take steps to timely remediate the weaknesses in our internal controls, the market price of our stock could decline if investors and others lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements. Similarly, we could have difficulty attracting third-party lenders and market-makers in our common stock if such lenders or broker-dealers believe they cannot rely on our financial statements as materially accurate. In addition, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other applicable regulatory authorities.

If a trading market in our common stock ever develops, the market price of our common stock can become volatile, leading to the possibility of its value being depressed at a time when you may want to sell your holdings. If a trading market in our common stock develops, the market price of our common stock could become volatile. Numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate significantly. These factors include:

Securities class action litigation is often instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. Should this type of litigation be instituted against us, it could result in substantial costs to us and divert our management's attention and resources. Moreover, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock and other interests in our Company at a time when you want to sell your interest in us.

Our common stock is considered "a penny stock" and, as a result, it may be difficult to trade a significant number of shares of our common stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has adopted regulations that generally define "penny stock" to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. Since our common stock has been eligible for quotation on the OTC markets (such as the bulletin board), the market price of our common stock has been less than $5.00 per share. We expect the market price for our common stock will remain less than $5.00 per share for the foreseeable future and, therefore, may be a "penny stock" according to SEC rules. This designation requires any broker or dealer selling these securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These rules may restrict the ability of brokers or dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of investors hereunder to sell their shares. In addition, because our stock is quoted on the OTC markets, investors may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations of the stock and may experience a lack of buyers to purchase such stock or a lack of market makers to support the stock price.

As a former shell company, holders of restricted shares of our common stock cannot rely on Rule 144 to resell their shares until the conditions of the rule are met. Prior to the consummation of the Exchange Agreement, we were considered a shell company. As a result, we are subject to the provisions of Rule 144(i) which limit reliance on Rule 144 by shareholders owning stock in a shell company (or a former shell company). Under current interpretations, unregistered shares issued after we first became a shell company cannot be resold under Rule 144 until the following conditions are met:

Consequently, until the first anniversary of the filing of our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed November 18, 2013, reflecting that we ceased to be a shell company, holders of restricted shares of our common stock cannot rely on Rule 144 to sell such shares, and may do so then only if we have then filed all required Exchange Act reports during the preceding 12 months.

Item 2. Properties

The company currently subleases offices in Santa Monica United States as its principle operational headquarters and executive offices, occupying 600 square feet. at a monthly rental of $1,500. Banjo & Matilda (Australia) Pty Ltd leases a 1,076 square foot retail store located at 76 William Street, Paddington, New South Wales, Australia. Banjo & Matilda leases these premises on a month to month basis. The monthly fixed rent for this space is approximately $4,433 per month. Management believes that the facilities are adequate for the Company's current needs and for the foreseeable future. In addition management believes the terms of the leases are consistent with market standards and were arrived at through arm's-length negotiation.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We are not a party to any pending litigation and to our knowledge, no such litigation is contemplated or threatened. To our knowledge, none of our directors, officers, 5% shareholders or affiliates are party to any legal proceedings that would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
 

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Market Information

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol "BANJ" (prior to November 14, 2013 the stock was quoted under the symbol "ESRN"). The OTCQB is a quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices, and volume information in over-the-counter ("OTC") equity securities. An OTCQB equity security generally is an equity that is not listed or traded on Nasdaq or a national securities exchange. Because there has been no established trading market for our common stock, we have not presented any historical prices in this report.

Our fiscal year end changed from December 31 to June 30 in connection with the Exchange Agreement with Banjo & Matilda Ltd. in November 2013.

Our Transfer Agent

We have appointed Olde Monmouth Stock Transfer Company, with offices at 200 Memorial Parkway, Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey 07716, phone number 732-872-2727, as transfer agent for our shares of common stock. The transfer agent is responsible for all record-keeping and administrative functions in connection with our shares of common stock.

Holders

As of June 15, 2015, there are approximately 125 holders of record of our common stock and a total of 39,508,146 shares of common stock outstanding, without giving effect to 20,214,970 shares which are to be issued and the cancellation of 1,400,000 shares which Belinda and Brendan Macpherson have agreed to return to the Company.

Dividends

We have not declared any cash dividends, nor do we intend to do so. We are not subject to any legal restrictions respecting the payment of dividends, except that they may not be paid to render us insolvent. Dividend policy will be based on our cash resources and needs and it is anticipated that all available cash will be needed for our operations in the foreseeable future.

Penny Stock Regulations

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define so-called "penny stocks" to be an equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. The Registrant's common stock is a "penny stock" and is subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, or the Penny Stock Rule. This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market, thus possibly making it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in penny stock, of a disclosure schedule required by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.

Rule 144

Prior to completion of the closing under the Exchange Agreement, the Registrant was considered a shell company. As a result, the Registrant is subject to the provisions of Rule 144(i) which limit reliance on Rule 144 by shareholders owning stock in a shell company (or a former shell company). Under current interpretations, unregistered shares issued after the Registrant first became a shell company cannot be resold under Rule 144 until the following conditions were met:

Consequently, until the first anniversary of the filing of the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed November 18, 2013, holders of the Registrant's common stock cannot rely on Rule 144 to sell restricted shares of common stock,and may do so then only if we have then filed all required Exchange Act reports during the preceding 12 months.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

The Registrant does not have any equity compensation plans and accordingly there are no shares authorized for issuance under an equity compensation plan.

Issuer Purchases of Our Equity Securities

No repurchases of our common stock were made by our company or its affiliates during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. There have been no recent sales of unregistered securities by us which have not already been reported in an 8-K or 10-Q.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of the results of operations constitutes management's review of the factors that affected the financial and operating performance for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014. 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.

Executive summary

For the financial year ended June 30, 2015, we grew total revenue by 22% to $2,756,459 from $2,264,264 in 2014 (or 31% on a constant currency exchange rate basis) while relocating our head office to Los Angeles in conjunction with a listing on the OTCQB in the United States. Importantly, we increased our e-commerce sales by 42% from $611,532 to $867,153 year over year, and re-positioned our company to take full advantage of our e-commerce channel.

Expansion of our wholesale business in the US and Northern Hemisphere markets increased our brand awareness and customer discovery. Once customers discovered the brand and product, a portion of these new customers converted to e-commerce purchasers, where it is more convenient for them to purchase online and there is a greater selection of product available.

As a result of our wholesale expansion and general wholesale/retail market conditions, we invested more than we had budgeted and incurred greater than forecast losses as a result. This resulted from a combination of lower wholesale margins driven by retail market conditions, significantly increased overheads to support wholesale growth, and a one-time write down of sample inventory produced to build a pipeline of product to expand our sales representation in the outlets that carried products.

In January 2016, we withdrew from the wholesale sales channel to exclusively focus on our e-commerce channel. Even though we incurred losses in wholesale, we considered this an investment in building a core US e-commerce customer base which now represents approximately 30% of online sales. Further reinforcing our decision to withdraw from wholesale, we recorded our first monthly profit in March 2016 being our first full month with no wholesale related overheads.

Although we have made the decision to forego unprofitable revenue in the short term in wholesale, the wholesale business we built to date has been instrumental in positioning us to become a successful e-commerce business & brand in the USA by getting our brand exposed to key retailers, customers and the press. If appropriate in the future, we may re-enter the wholesale business, but it is unlikely.

We have experienced strong growth in core e-commerce KPI's including web site traffic, average transaction value, and growth in email and social media subscriber bases. We have growing brand awareness and a high value customer base, $1MM or more in run rate revenue, a pipeline of developed product, and 7 years of experience in product development, sourcing, e-commerce, and operations. We have also demonstrated the ability to achieve a strong ROI on our digital marketing investment, which means we can efficiently deploy future capital injected to maximize e-commerce sales and build firm value.

As a result, we now have a disruptive e-commerce business model which has the potential to be significantly more valuable than a traditional apparel business.

Valuations for these new e-commerce models vary widely but can command firm valuations of 4 to 5 times annual revenue or more.

2015 Financial Highlights

Revenue

FY2015 Revenue increased 31% to $2,735,367 compared to FY2014 on a constant currency basis. In January 2015 we relocated our operations from Sydney Australia to Los Angeles to enable us to be closer to, and capture a higher share of the lucrative US market. We expanded our team managing wholesale from 1.5 people to 4. Implemented a wholesale ERP system, set up a local US 3PL distribution center to support wholesale distribution.

E-commerce

Online sales increased 42% to $867,153 on a constant currency basis despite the focus of building and supporting the wholesale business. This focus on wholesale limited growth in our online business during the period. Meaningfully higher growth rates and revenue could have been achieved.

Retail (Paddington Australia)

Store sales increased 19% to $281,578. We maintain our store in Paddington Australia because of the higher margin retail sales and we continue to use the resources to manage Australian customer support for online sales, and where possible local shipping & returns to/from Australian based customers.

Wholesale

Wholesale sales increased 35% on a constant currency basis.

In line with our strategy to build wholesale distribution and brand awareness to help promote our e-commerce channel, we continued our focus on expanding our wholesale customer base through the period prior to exiting the business in January 2016.

Since January 1 2016, international sales have increased to 32% of total e-commerce.

Gross Margins

During the FY2015 period Gross Margins decreased 5% points from 40% to 35% primarily as a result of thinner margins in our wholesale business. Best practice Gross Margins for larger apparel brands are in excess of 50% - most typically 55% -58%. A main driver of lower margins is the price points required to deliver the brands proposition of luxury products and non-luxury prices. Due to these retail price point targets, wholesale margins are heavily impacted. This also creates upward pressure on retail price points which erodes the brand proposition. With the withdrawal from the wholesale business channel this will improve margins significantly, and remove upward pressure on price points which will provide greater flexibility to deliver the brand proposition. In addition we have identified other opportunities to improve margins:

Expenses

During the FY2015 period total operating expenses increased from 92% from $1,375,475 to $2,636,568 which includes one-time expenses, finance costs, public company, depreciation and amortization: The key reasons for this increase was:

During the twelve months ended June 30, 2015, we used approximately $1,125,867 of net cash in our operating activities. This reflects our net loss from continuing operations of $2,004,722 and the source of cash which reflects the decrease in our trade receivables and inventory which decreased by $12,015 and $438,185, respectively, from June 30, 2014 to June 30, 2015.

During the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, we used approximately $868,660 of net cash in our operating activities. This reflects our net loss from continuing operations of $626,742 and the use of cash to increase our trade receivables and inventory which grew by $314,016 and $282,868, respectively, from June 30, 2013 to June 30, 2014.

Cash (Used) in Investing Activities

During the twelve months ended June 30, 2015, net cash used in investing activities of $3,600 primarily reflects purchases of fixed assets for $3,600.

During the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, net cash used in investing activities of $32,578 reflects the purchase of intangible assets of $24,220 and the purchase of fixed assets of $8,358.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

During the twelve months ended June 30, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities of $1,458,768 primarily reflects proceeds from issuance of common stock for $369,600, net proceeds from loans of $529,485 and an increase in trade financing of $512,016.

During the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, net cash provided by financing activities of $923,501 primarily proceeds from the issuance of stock of $290,000, net proceeds of loans of $639,133 and an increase in trade financing of $166,350.

Commitments for Capital Expenditures

We do not have substantial commitments for capital expenditures. All of our products are manufactured by third parties, enabling us to scale up operations without acquiring substantial production equipment. Although we will need to increase our design capabilities and augment our sales and administrative staff as we grow, the rate of growth of these expenses should be less than the rate of growth of our revenue. Further, we anticipate that as we expand our sales, the interest rates, fees and other expenses we pay to obtain credit, should be lower than those we incur presently. Of course, any substantial growth in our revenues will require additional equity which, if available, will dilute the interests of our current shareholders. We do anticipate a slight increase in the rate of growth of our operating expenses this year due to, among other factors, the fact that our historical financial statements do not include the expenses associated with being a public company.

Off Balance Sheet Items

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as "special purpose entities" (SPEs).

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

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 to be 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 samples.

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.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the 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.

Exchange Gain (Loss)

To date, the Company's transactions were denominated in foreign currency and were recorded in Australian dollars (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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no new accounting pronouncements during the year ended June 30, 2014 that we believe would have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company. 

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

Dismissal of Lichter, Yu & Associates, Inc. as Principal Accountant

On August 10, 2015, we advised Lichter, Yu & Associates, Inc. ("LY"), engaged on January 14, 2014, that it had been dismissed as our independent registered public accounting firm. The dismissal of LY was approved by our Board of Directors.

LY audited our consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and their report thereon did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

Engagement of Farber Hass Hurley LLP as Principal Accountant

On August 10, 2015, we engaged Farber Hass Hurley LLP ("FHH") as our registered independent public accountants for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. The decision to engage FHH was approved by our Board of Directors.

In connection with this change of registered independent public accountants, there were no disagreements between the Registrant and our former accountants, Lichter Yu & Associates LLP, of the type described in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, or any reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Registrant files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. In addition, the disclosure controls and procedures must ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial and other required disclosures.
 

On November 14, 2013, we acquired Banjo & Matilda, a closely-held privately owned Australian company whose operations were conducted in Australia, in a transaction treated as a reverse acquisition. At such time we adopted the system of disclosure controls and procedures of Banjo & Matilda as ours.

At June 30, 2015, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) of the Exchange Act) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of Brendan Macpherson our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on his evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, he concluded that at June 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective due to material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting discussed directly below.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because changes in conditions may occur or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 

Our management has conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Brendan Macpherson our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015. This evaluation was based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO, Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based upon such assessment, Brendan Macpherson concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective due to material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our material weaknesses relate to the following:

These weaknesses are due to the Company's historical lack of working capital to hire a full-time, dedicated Chief Financial Officer. The Company plans to hire a full-time Chief Financial Officer by June 30, 2017. Further, the Company intends to appoint additional Directors and form an audit committee comprised of independent directors.

This Report shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of the Registrant, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission do not require an attestation of the Management's report by our registered public accounting firm in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Controls

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information

None.

Each of our Directors is elected annually and serves until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. Our officers are elected annually and serve at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

Director Independence

We are not currently a "listed company" under SEC rules and are therefore not required to have a Board comprised of a majority of independent directors or separate committees comprised of independent directors. We currently do not have any independent directors as the term "independent" is defined by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Board Committees

Audit Committee

Our board of directors has determined that we do not have an audit committee financial expert serving on our board.

The Company has not appointed additional directors as it seeks to secure investment in the business and secure a suitable candidate to fulfill this role on the board. It plans to fulfill this role before the end of the fiscal 2015 year. The company also intends to appoint a full time CFO during the fiscal 2015 year who will also chair the audit committee.

Disclosure Committee

We have a disclosure committee and disclosure committee charter. Our disclosure committee is comprised of all of our officers and directors. The purpose of the committee is to provide assistance to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer in fulfilling their responsibilities regarding the identification and disclosure of material information about us and the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of our financial reports. A copy of the disclosure committee charter was filed as Exhibit 99.3 to the Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K filed on February 15, 2011.

Nominees

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Registrant's board.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC reports of their holdings of, and transactions in, our common stock. Based solely upon our review of copies of such reports and written representations from reporting persons that were provided to us, we believe that our officers, directors and 10% stockholders complied with these reporting requirements with respect to our fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

Code of Ethics

TheRegistranthasadopteda corporate code of ethics. The Registrant believes its code of ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code. A copy of the code of ethics is filed as Exhibit 14.1 to our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2011.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

The Registrant did not pay and cash or other compensation to its executive officers for the years ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2015.

The following summary compensation table set forth information concerning the annual and long-term compensation for services in all capacities to Banjo & Matilda for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 of those persons who were, at June 30, 2015, (i) the chief executive officer, (ii) the chief financial officer, (iii) managing director and (ii) the other most highly compensated executive officers of Banjo & Matilda, whose total compensation was in excess of $100,000 (the "named executive officers"):

Summary Compensation Table

Compensation of Directors

The Registrant did not pay and cash or other compensation to its directors for the years ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End

For the year ended June 30, 2015, no director or executive officer has received compensation from the Registrant pursuant to any compensatory or benefit plan. There is no plan or understanding, express or implied, to pay any compensation to any director or executive officer pursuant to any compensatory or benefit plan, although we anticipate that we will compensate our officers and directors for services to us with stock or options to purchase stock, in lieu of cash.

Executive Compensation Policies as They Relate to Risk Management

Banjo & Matilda has only recently become part of a public company. Its payment policies in respect of nearly all of its employees are still indicative of those associated with a private company in Australia. The Compensation Committee and Management have considered whether our compensation policies might encourage inappropriate risk taking by the Company's executive officers and other employees. The Compensation Committee has determined that the current compensation structure aligns the interests of the executive officers with those of the Company without providing rewards for excessive risk taking by awarding a mix of fixed and performance based or discretionary bonuses with the performance based compensation focused on profits as opposed to revenue growth.

Option Exercises and Fiscal Year-End Option Value Table

None of the named executive officers exercised any stock options during the year ended June 30, 2015, or held any outstanding stock options as of June 30, 2015.

Incentive Plan

The Registrant does not have any equity compensation plans.

On July 1, 2013, Banjo & Matilda entered into a Loan Facility Agreement pursuant to which Harboursafe Holdings made a loan of approximately $963,000 to Banjo & Matilda. The loan bears interest at 3% per annum and interest accrues daily. The loan was due on June 30, 2014. The loan is convertible into shares of Banjo & Matilda at any time prior to the due date. Interest on the loan is paid on the earlier of the (x) conversion of the loan into shares of Banjo & Matilda and (y) the due date of the loan.
