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 Belynda 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 30th of the final year of the term. In addition, either employee may terminate the employment agreement upon 30 days written notice.
On July 1st 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 founded in 2009, is a designer and retailer of its own branded cashmere apparel sold predominantly online via its web site banjoandmatilda.com. Banjo & Matilda is known as a modern luxury brand specializing in luxury casual cashmere knitwear which retails at a reduced price point as compared to the more traditional luxury brands of similar quality. It has an authentic brand heritage founded in Australia in 2009, encapsulating the iconic surf, sand, sun and healthy living lifestyle that Australia has become known for. Streamlining the production process by partnering with cashmere yarn producers in inner Mongolia (where 98% of the world’s cashmere originates), and manufacturing in specialist factories with deep knitting expertise, the Company sells directly to customers online, avoiding the typical costs of wholesale/retailer mark-up -- conveniently delivering a luxury quality product at an accessible price point.
Our Products
Banjo & Matilda offers a line of luxury women's cashmere knitwear including sweaters and pants, and accessories such as cashmere scarves, slippers, eye-masks and travel blankets.
Product Manufacturing
Banjo & Matilda use third party contract manufacturers rather than owning operating low margin 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 various manufacturers at any one time, with one manufacturer accounting for 10% or more of annual manufacturing costs; however, the Company believes that all of its manufacturers are replaceable without adversely affecting its business. Our manufacturers provide us with the speed to market necessary to respond quickly to changing trends and increased demand. While we believe that we have a good relationship with our manufacturers, we do not have any long-term agreements requiring us to use any manufacturer, and no manufacturer is required to produce our products pursuant to a long-term contract. We regularly secure and test new manufacturing partners and believe that the services of additional, or other, manufacturers and/or suppliers of our fabrics are available.
Product Distribution
The Company was founded as an e-commerce only direct to consumer model – distribution only online via its e-commerce store www.banjoandmatilda.com.
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.com.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.

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
History of Losses and Expectation of Future Losses
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we had a net loss of $838,381 and $1,066,746, respectively, and we expect losses in future periods. There can be no assurance that we will ever become profitable.
Our fiscal 2018 audited financial statements contain a going-concern qualification, raising questions as to our continued existence.
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Currently, the Company does not have sufficient cash, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operation costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company has reported accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2018, of $6,123,109. Further losses are anticipated as we continue in the development stage of our business. We will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of our equity and/or debt securities in order to implement our business plan. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in either situation in order to continue as a going concern. Failure to raise the required capital to fund operations, on favorable terms or at all, will have a material adverse effect on our operations, and will likely cause us to curtail or cease operations.
As a result, in their audit report contained in this Annual Report, our independent auditors expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As of the date of this Annual Report, we will require additional funds for fiscal 2018. If we cannot raise these funds, we may be required to cease business operations or alter our business plan. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
Our business plan requires additional capital, which we may be unable to raise on acceptable terms, if at all, in the future, which may in turn limit our ability to execute our business strategy.
As of June 30, 2018, we had a cash balance of $0 and negative working capital of $4,076,487. Our net loss of $838,381 in the year ended June 30, 2018 was mostly funded by proceeds raised from third-party financings.
We will need to raise working capital (or refinance existing short-term debt to long-term debt) to fund operations in the future. Future equity financings may be dilutive to our stockholders. Alternative forms of future financings may include preferences or rights superior to our common stock. Debt financings may involve a pledge of assets and will rank senior to our common stock. We have historically financed our operations through best-efforts private equity and debt financings. We do not have any credit or equity facilities available with financial institutions, stockholders or third party investors, and will continue to rely on best efforts financings. The failure to raise sufficient capital will likely cause us to cease operations.
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.
The departure of our co-founders could have a material adverse effect on our business. We depend on the services and management experience of our co-founders, Belynda Storelli Macpherson and Brendan Macpherson, who have substantial experience and expertise in our business. In particular, Ms. Macpherson has provided design leadership to Banjo & Matilda since its inception. She is instrumental to our marketing and publicity strategy and is closely identified with both our brand and Company. Our ability to maintain our brand image and leverage the goodwill associated with Ms. Macpherson may be damaged if we were to lose her services. We have an employment agreement with Ms. Macpherson, but she has the right to terminate her employment agreement at any time upon 30 days written notice. The employment agreement contains a covenant not to compete, but it is only applicable if her severance payments equal at least $100,000 and is limited to six months’ duration and geographically to within a five-mile radius of any location where we design, manufacture or sell our knitwear. Accordingly, Ms. Macpherson could terminate her employment agreement with us and within a short time engage in a competing business, which could materially adversely affect us. In addition, the leadership of Brendan Macpherson, our Chief Executive Officer, has been a critical element of Banjo & Matilda's success. Mr. Macpherson also has the right, under his employment agreement with us, to terminate his employment at any time upon 30 days written notice. The loss of services of Mr. Macpherson and/or Ms. Macpherson or any negative public perception with respect to, or relating to, the loss of one or more of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
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. 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:
| · | the inherent uncertainty regarding general economic conditions; |
|
|
|
| · | our ability to obtain adequate financing for our expansion plans; |
|
|
|
| · | the degree of competition in new markets and its effect on our ability to attract new customers; and |
|
|
|
| · | our ability to recruit qualified personnel, in particular in areas where we face a great deal of competition. |
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. We may not be able to obtain future financing in amounts or on terms acceptable to us. The failure to obtain financing to fund operations, on favorable terms or at all, will have a material adverse effect on our operations and will likely cause us to curtail operations.
Fluctuations in exchange rates could adversely affect our business as well as result in foreign currency exchange losses in our U.S. dollar financials. During the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the transactions of the Company were denominated in US dollars. All the transactions which were denominated in other currencies were converted to US Dollars on the date of settlement and the exchange gains and losses were recorded in the statement of operations. No change was recorded in the comprehensive income (loss). However, international sales are subject to currency fluctuations which could impact revenues.
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 operate our business. 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 OTCPink quotation service. As of the date of this Form 10-K, our trading symbol has a “stop” designation meaning that we currently do not provide disclosure. We intend to bring our public disclosure current and to use our best efforts to remove this “stop” designation. 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 OTCPink 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 OTCPink 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.
The Registrant's board of directors designated a series of preferred stock without shareholder approval that has voting rights that adversely affect the voting power of holders of the Registrant's common stock and may have an adverse effect on its stock price. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides for the authorization of 100,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock. Pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, the Registrant's Board of Directors is authorized to issue such “blank check” preferred stock with rights that are superior to the rights of stockholders of the Registrant's common stock, including a conversion price then approved by our Board of Directors, which conversion price may be substantially lower than the market price of shares of the Registrant's common stock, without stockholder approval. In connection with the Registrant's employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer, Brendan Macpherson, the Board of Directors authorized 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with each share having 100 votes until Mr. Macpherson's employment agreement expires or terminates. The Registrant issued the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock to Mr. Macpherson pursuant to his employment agreement and, upon the filing of a certificate of designation for such preferred shares and the subsequent issuance of such shares, Mr. Macpherson gained voting control of the Registrant, which has a negative effect on the voting power of the holders of the Registrant's common stock and may cause its stock price to decline.
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.
Our management is not familiar with the United States securities laws. Our management is generally unfamiliar with the requirements of the United States securities laws, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Brendan Macpherson, does not possess accounting expertise which could adversely impact our ability to comply with legal, regulatory, and financial reporting requirements under the U.S. securities laws. Our management may not be able to implement programs and policies in an effective and timely manner to adequately respond to such legal, regulatory and reporting requirements, including the establishment and maintenance of internal control over financial reporting. Any such deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, which are necessary to maintain public company status, and could result in investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other regulatory authorities that could be costly, divert management's attention and disrupt our business. If we were to fail to fulfill those obligations, our ability to operate as a public company would be in jeopardy, in which event you could lose your entire investment in our Company. The Company utilized a third-party consultant to help with reporting in accordance with US GAAP and filing with SEC.
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:
| · | our earnings releases, actual or anticipated changes in our earnings, fluctuations in our operating results or our failure to meet the expectations of financial market analysts and investors; |
|
|
|
| · | changes in financial estimates by us or by any securities analysts who might cover our stock; |
|
|
|
| · | speculation about our business in the press or the investment community; |
|
|
|
| · | significant developments relating to our relationships with our wholesale customers or suppliers; |
|
|
|
| · | stock market price and volume fluctuations of other publicly traded companies and, in particular, those that are in our industry; |
|
|
|
| · | customer demand for our products or luxury goods in general; |
|
|
|
| · | investor perceptions of our industry in general and Banjo & Matilda in particular; |
|
|
|
| · | the operating and stock performance of comparable companies; |
|
|
|
| · | general economic conditions and trends; |
|
|
|
| · | changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretation or principles; |
|
|
|
| · | loss of external funding sources; |
|
|
|
| · | sales of our common stock, including sales by our directors, officers or significant stockholders; and |
|
|
|
| · | additions or departures of key personnel. |
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.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings for use in the development of our business and for general corporate purposes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investments.
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 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:
| · | We cease to be a shell company; |
|
|
|
| · | We remain subject to the Exchange Act reporting obligations; |
|
|
|
| · | We file all required Exchange Act reports during the preceding 12 months; and |
|
|
|
| · | At least one year has elapsed from the time we filed our “Form 10 information” reflecting the fact that we ceased to be a shell company. |
Consequently, 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.
The Company terminated its subleased facilities in Santa Monica United States as its principle operational headquarters and executive offices as of June 30, 2017. Banjo & Matilda (Australia) Pty Ltd leased a 1,076 square foot retail store located at 76 William Street, Paddington, New South Wales, Australia until September 2017, which was then terminated. Management believes that the facilities were adequate for the Company's needs and has no additional need for the foreseeable future. In addition, management believes the terms of the leases were consistent with market standards and were arrived at through arm's-length negotiation.
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.

Market Information
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCPink quotation under the symbol “BANJ.”
Shares of our common stock have historically been thinly traded, and currently there is no active trading market for our common stock. As a result, our stock price as quoted by the OTCPink may not reflect an actual or perceived value. The following table sets forth the approximate high and low bid prices for our common stock for the last two fiscal years and interim periods. The quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

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.
11 |
Table of Contents |
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.
There can be no assurance that the Registrant's common stock will qualify for exemption from the Penny Stock Rule. Even if the Registrant's common stock were exempt from the Penny Stock Rule, the Registrant would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock, if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.
Rule 144
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:
| · | The registrant ceases to be a shell company; |
|
|
|
| · | The Registrant remains subject to the Exchange Act reporting obligations; |
|
|
|
| · | The Registrant files all required Exchange Act reports during the preceding 12 months; and |
|
|
|
| · | At least one year has elapsed from the time the Registrant files “Form 10 information” reflecting the fact that the Registrant ceased to be a shell company. |
Consequently, until the Company becomes current in its Exchange Act filings, 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
During the first and second quarter of 2015, the Company issued 21,039,970 shares of the Company stock for $450,799 or approximately $0.02 per share to five investors.
During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company issued 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for settlement of an outstanding vendor balance amounting to USD $27,123.

The sales and issuances of the securities described above were made pursuant to the exemptions from registration contained in to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Regulation D under the Securities Act and Regulation S under the Securities Act. Each purchaser represented that such purchaser’s intention to acquire the shares for investment only and not with a view toward distribution. We requested our stock transfer agent to affix appropriate legends to the stock certificate issued to each purchaser and the transfer agent affixed the appropriate legends. Each purchaser was given adequate access to sufficient information about us to make an informed investment decision. Except as described in this prospectus, none of the securities were sold through an underwriter and accordingly, there were no underwriting discounts or commissions involved.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data.
Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited and unaudited financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should specifically consider the various risk factors identified in this Report that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
Financial Results
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, 2018 and 2017. 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.
During the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the transactions of the Company were denominated in US Dollars. All the transactions which were denominated in other currencies were converted to US Dollars on the date of settlement and the exchange gains and losses were recorded in the statement of operations. No change was recorded in the comprehensive income (loss). 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 Australian Dollars to US Dollars after the balance sheet date.
Executive summary
The fiscal year 2018 represented the winding down of operations for the company after the strategic review the company commenced in the September 2017 quarter.
While the Company started in 2009 as an e-commerce only brand, it embarked upon a strategic brand building wholesale distribution program in 2013. In 2015 the Company made the decision to exit this distribution channel due to the increasing issues that apparel and luxury goods brands were facing in working with retailers via wholesale. The Company experienced lower margins, carried higher risks and viewed an uncertain future due to the increasing difficulties occurring in the physical retail landscape. In 2016 the Company began to focus fully on its higher value, higher margin, lower risk direct-to-consumer e-commerce centric business model. Over the course of 2016 and 2017 the company failed to raise adequate funds to fund this pivot and scale the business, and as a consequence has had to scale back its operations to conserve capital.
Given the lack of operating capital available to continue to build the Banjo & Matilda brand and e-commerce sales, the company has chosen an opportunity to deliver value to shareholders via a proposed merger with American Aviation Technologies LLC, effective April 18, 2019.
Fiscal 2018 Results of Operations Compared with Fiscal 2017
Revenues
Sales decreased from $629,969 to $79,665 for fiscal 2018 compared with fiscal 2017. Cost of sales commensurately decreased from $193,409 to $22,199 in the same period. The decrease in sales and cost of sales were caused by the wind down in operations and related decrease in sales due to lack of new inventory.
13 |
Table of Contents |
Gross Margins
Gross margins decreased from $436,560 to $57,466, for the fiscal 2018 period compared with the fiscal 2017 period. The reduction in gross margins were directly attributed to the reduction in sales volume.
Expenses
Total operating expenses decreased 52% from $1,099,388 to $523,583, for the fiscal 2018 period compared with the fiscal 2017 period. The reduction in operating expense was driven by the wind down in operations.
Net Loss
Net loss and comprehensive net loss decreased 21% from $1,066,746 to $838,381 for the fiscal 2018 period compared with the fiscal 2017 period. The reduction in operations resulted in the reduced loss.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2018, we had a cash balance of $0 and negative working capital of $4,076,487. Our net loss of $838,381 in the year ended June 30, 2018 was mostly funded by proceeds raised from financings. We will need to raise working capital (or refinance existing short-term debt to long-term debt) to fund operations. Future equity financings may be dilutive to our stockholders. Alternative forms of future financings may include preferences or rights superior to our common stock. Debt financings may involve a pledge of assets and will rank senior to our common stock. We have historically financed our operations through best-efforts private equity and debt financings. We do not have any credit or equity facilities available with financial institutions, stockholders or third party investors, and will continue to rely on best efforts financings. The failure to raise sufficient capital will likely cause us to cease operations.
During the fiscal year 2018, our operating activities used $52,336 of net cash compared to using $193,364 of net cash flow in our operating activities during fiscal 2017. This difference primarily resulted from the cessation of sales and operations.
During fiscal 2018, net cash provided by financing activities was $47,845 compared with $186,799 of net cash provided by financing activities in fiscal 2017. This was due to no additional funding being secured.
Commitments for Capital Expenditures
We do not have substantial commitments for capital expenditures. 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 if we grow, the rate of growth of these expenses should be less than the rate of growth of our revenue. Further, if 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 growth in our revenues will require additional equity which, if available, will dilute the interests of our current shareholders. We do not anticipate an increase in the rate of growth of our operating expenses this year due to, among other factors, the fact that our operations are winding down.
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
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make 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 revenues and expenses during the period covered by the financial statements. Actual results could differ from estimates. Significant estimates include collectability of accounts receivable, valuation of inventory, sales return and recoverability of long-term assets.
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.
14 |
Table of Contents |
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists primarily of inventory costs, as well as warehousing costs (including the cost of warehouse labor), importation duties and charges.
Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or net realizable value. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value and allowance is made to write down inventories to market value, if lower. All inventory was sold or written off as June 30, 2018.
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. As of June 30, 2018 all doubtful accounts have been written off.
Exchange Gain (Loss)
During the period ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the transactions of the Company were denominated in US Dollars. Some transactions were denominated in AUD and British pounds for the sales made outside US and for rent paid for the Australian store. Such transactions were converted to US Dollars on the date of transaction and the exchange gains or losses were recorded in the statement of operations. Exchange gains and losses are recognized for the different foreign exchange rates applied when the foreign currency assets and liabilities are settled.
Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)
During the period ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the transactions of the Company were denominated in US Dollars. All the transactions which were denominated in other currencies were converted to US Dollars on the date of settlement and the exchange gains and losses were recorded in the statement of operations. No change was recorded in the comprehensive income (loss). 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, net of tax, as a component of shareholders' equity. There were no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of Australian Dollars to US Dollars after the balance sheet date.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15). The guidance in ASU 2014-15 sets forth management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern as well as required disclosures. ASU 2014-15 indicates that, when preparing financial statements for interim and annual financial statements, management should evaluate whether conditions or events, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This evaluation should include consideration of conditions and events that are either known or are reasonably knowable at the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, as well as whether it is probable that management’s plans to address the substantial doubt will be implemented and, if so, whether it is probable that the plans will alleviate the substantial doubt. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods and annual periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (ASU 2015-17), which changes how deferred taxes are classified on the balance sheet and is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2015-17 requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as non-current. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (ASU 2016-01), which requires equity investments that are not accounted for under the equity method of accounting to be measured at fair value with changes recognized in net income and updates certain presentation and disclosure requirements. ASU 2016-01 is effective beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases,” which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases, at the commencement date of each lease. This ASU requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments of this update should be applied using a modified retrospective approach, which requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The guidance simplifies accounting for share-based payments, most notably by requiring all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded as income tax benefits or expense in the income statement and by allowing entities to recognize forfeitures of awards when they occur. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and may be adopted prospectively or retroactively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard would have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” (“ASU 2016-12”), which amends the guidance in the new revenue standard on collectability, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax, and transition. The amendments are intended to address implementation issues and provide additional practical expedients to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the new revenue standard. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, which will be our interim period beginning January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods with that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, regarding ASC Topic 230 “Statement of Cash Flows.” This update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” which addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company has elected for early adoption of this guidance during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance that eases certain documentation and assessment requirements of hedge effectiveness and modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessment. Some of the modifications include the ineffectiveness of derivative gain/loss in highly effective cash flow hedge to be recorded in OCI, the change in fair value of derivative to be recorded in the same income statement line as hedged item, and additional disclosures required on the cumulative basis adjustment in fair value hedges and the effect of hedging on financial statement lines for components excluded from the assessment. The amendment also simplifies the application of hedge accounting in certain situations to permit new hedging strategies to be eligible for hedge accounting. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, our fiscal 2020. Early adoption is permitted and the modified retrospective transition method should be applied. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
There were no other new accounting pronouncements during the year period ended June 30, 2018 that we believe would have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
Not applicable.
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.
At June 30, 2018, 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, 2018, 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.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; (iii) provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and (iv) provide reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
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, 2018. 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:
| · | Lack of a full-time Chief Financial Officer. We do not have a dedicated full-time Chief Financial Officer in charge of our financial reporting. Financial reporting is performed by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Brendan Macpherson. Mr. Macpherson does not possess accounting expertise. |
|
|
|
| · | Lack of formal review process. We do not possess a formal, multi-level process with respect to our financial reporting. |
|
|
|
| · | Ineffective oversight. We do not have an audit committee comprised of independent directors to oversee our financial reporting and internal control over financial reporting. |
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. 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, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.

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, 2017.
Code of Ethics
The Registrant has adopted a 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.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End
For the year ended June 30, 2018, 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
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.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
In July 2013, Banjo & Matilda entered into a loan facility agreement with Harboursafe Holdings, an affiliate of our chief executive officer. As of June 30, 2018, the principal amount owed under the loan facility was $123,141, bearing interest at the rate of 15% per annum (an aggregate of $55,998 of accrued interest as of June 30, 2018), which loan has matured and is currently due on demand. To secure the loan, Banjo & Matilda granted Harboursafe Holdings a security interest in the intellectual property acquired by Banjo & Matilda under the intellectual property sale agreement pursuant to which Banjo & Matilda acquired numerous clothing designs from Harboursafe Holdings.
In November 2013, Raymond Key made an unsecured loan to Banjo & Matilda. The loan matured in December 2013, and in January 2014, the Company issued Raymond Key a one-year secured convertible note in the principal amount of $250,000 (the “Convertible Note”) in consideration of the rollover of the November 13, 2013 note and an additional loan of $150,000. As of June 30, 2018, the Company owed Mr. Key a principal amount of $320,729, and the Convertible Note bears interest at the rate of 22% per annum (an aggregate of $172,826 of accrued interest was also owed as of June 30, 2018). All or any portion of the principal amount of the Convertible Note and all accrued interest is convertible at the option of the holder into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $.05 per share. The Company's obligation under the Convertible Note is secured by a first lien on substantially all of its assets, including its inventory, receivables, trademarks and trade names.
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.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Banjo & Matilda, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Banjo & Matilda, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
/S/ Farber Hass Hurley LLP
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2015.

BANJO & MATILDA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION
All currencies represented in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are in United States Dollars (USD) unless specified as AUD (Australian Dollars).
Banjo and Matilda, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on December 18, 2009 under the name Eastern World Group, Inc. On September 24, 2013, its name was changed to Banjo & Matilda, Inc.
On November 14, 2013, Banjo & Matilda, Inc., entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with Banjo & Matilda, Pty Ltd., a corporation formed under the laws of Australia (the "Company") and the shareholders of the Company. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, at the closing of the transaction contemplated thereunder (the "Transaction"), the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Banjo & Matilda, Inc.
Banjo & Matilda Pty Ltd. was incorporated under the laws of Australia on May 27, 2009 and manufactures and sells cashmere fashion. Headquartered at Bondi Beach, the Aussie lifestyle of sun, sand and surf resonates innately with this label and its philosophy of low maintenance, style and comfort.
Banjo & Matilda USA, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 14, 2013 and is owned 100% by Banjo & Matilda, Inc.
The ultra-soft cashmere staples, pairing simplicity with cool sophistication has rapidly gained loyal customers worldwide positioning the label as the 'go-to' for contemporary cashmere products.
Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the share exchange is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the share exchange is equivalent to the issuance of stock by Banjo & Matilda Pty Ltd. for the net monetary assets of the Banjo & Matilda, Inc. accompanied by a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the share exchange will be identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except no goodwill will be recorded. Under share reverse takeover accounting, the post reverse acquisition comparative historical financial statements of the legal acquirer, Banjo & Matilda, Inc. are those of the legal acquiree, Banjo & Matilda Pty Ltd., which is considered to be the accounting acquirer. Share and per share amounts stated have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the merger.
As a result of the exchange agreement, the reorganization was treated as an acquisition by the accounting acquiree that is being accounted for as a recapitalization and as a reverse merger by the legal acquirer for accounting purposes. Pursuant to the recapitalization, all capital stock shares and amounts and per share data have been retroactively restated. Accordingly, the financial statements include the following:
(1) | The balance sheet consists of the net assets of the accounting acquirer at historical cost and the net assets of the legal acquirer at fair value. | |
(2) | The statements of operations include the operations of the accounting acquirer for the period presented and the operations of the legal acquirer from the date of the merger. |

Note 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company reported an accumulated deficit of $6,123,109 as of June 30, 2018. The Company also incurred net losses of $838,381 for the year ended June 30, 2018, and had $4,076,487 in negative working capital. Sales have declined to $79,665 and gross profit has declined to $57,466 for the year ended June 30, 2018 To date, these losses and deficiencies have been financed principally through the loans from related parties and from third parties. In view of the matters described, there is substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern without a significant infusion of capital. We anticipate that we will have to raise additional capital to fund operations over the next 12 months. To the extent that we are required to raise additional funds to acquire properties, and to cover costs of operations, we intend to do so through additional offerings of debt or equity securities. There are no commitments or arrangements for other offerings in place, no guaranties that any such financings would be forthcoming, or as to the terms of any such financings. Any future financing will involve substantial dilution to existing investors.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP").
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Banjo & Matilda, Inc. ("Banjo" or "the Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries Banjo & Matilda Pty Ltd. and Banjo & Matilda USA, Inc., collectively referred to as the Company. All material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were eliminated in consolidation.
Exchange Gain (Loss)
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the transactions of the Company were denominated in US Dollars. Some transactions were denominated in AUD and British pounds for the sales made outside US and for rent paid for the Australian store. Such transactions were converted to US$ on the date of transaction and the exchange gains or losses were recorded in the statement of operations. The exchange gains or losses were immaterial for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.
Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the transactions of the Company were denominated in US Dollars. All the transactions which were denominated in other currencies were converted to US$ on the date of settlement and the exchange gains and losses were recorded in the statement of operations. No change was recorded in the comprehensive income (loss).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include collectability of accounts receivable, accounts payable, sales returns and recoverability of long-term assets.
Reportable Segment
The Company has one reportable segment. The Company's activities are interrelated and each activity is dependent upon and supportive of the other. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based on analysis of financial products provided as a single global business.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. Revenue generally is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Table of Contents |
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists primarily of inventory costs, as well as warehousing costs (including the cost of warehouse labor), and importation duties and charges.
Selling Expense
Selling expenses consist primarily of shipping and handling costs, relating to the delivery of products to customers, are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling expenses amounted to $3,686 and $112,822 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that were included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740. When tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income.
At June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had not taken any significant uncertain tax positions on its tax returns for periods ended June 30, 2018 and prior years or in computing its tax provision for 2017. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by the Company in its Federal and State tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The Company is subject to examination by U.S. Federal and State tax authorities from the period ended June 30, 2015 to the present, generally for three years after they are filed.
The Company has been behind in filing its payroll tax returns and sales tax returns. The Company has recorded $3,519 as penalties and $27,478 as interest for the late payment of taxes for the year ended June 30, 2018.

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 consolidated 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 June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, the Company had $0 and $4,491 in cash in Australia and in the United States. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. The allowance was written down during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. The allowances for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 are $0 and $135,956 respectively.
Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or net realizable value. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value and allowance is made to write down inventories to market value, if lower. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 all inventory balances were written down or sold. As of June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, the Company had outstanding balances of Finished Goods Inventory of $0 and $18,443 respectively.
As of June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, a reserve for Estimated Inventory Charges in the amount of $0 and $230 was established.

Property & Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. The estimated useful lives of our property and equipment are generally as follows: computer software developed or acquired for internal use, three to ten years; computer equipment, two to three years; buildings and improvements, five to fifteen years; leasehold improvements, two to ten years; and furniture and equipment, one to five years.
As of June 30, 2018, and June 30, 2017, Property and Equipment consisted of the following:

Depreciation was $2,144 and $9,246 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, 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 June 30, 2018, and 2017, 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)
The Company utilize FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include additional common shares available upon exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method, except for periods of operating loss for which no common share equivalents are included because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, issued as a new Topic, ASC Topic 606. The new revenue recognition standard supersedes all existing revenue recognition guidance. Under this ASU, an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2015-14, issued in August 2015, deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
In January 2016, The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Topic 825). ASU No. 2016-01 revises the classification and measurement of investments in certain equity investments and the presentation of certain fair value changes for certain financial liabilities measured at fair value. ASU No. 2016-01 requires the change in fair value of many equity investments to be recognized in net income. For non-public companies, ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-01 on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update addresses a diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other Topics. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We adopted this ASU in 2016 and the implementation did not have a material impact on our financial position or consolidated statement of operations.
F-12 |
Table of Contents |
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” which addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company has elected for early adoption of this guidance during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 on our consolidated financial statement.
In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance that eases certain documentation and assessment requirements of hedge effectiveness and modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessment. Some of the modifications include the ineffectiveness of derivative gain/loss in highly effective cash flow hedge to be recorded in OCI, the change in fair value of derivative to be recorded in the same income statement line as hedged item, and additional disclosures required on the cumulative basis adjustment in fair value hedges and the effect of hedging on financial statement lines for components excluded from the assessment. The amendment also simplifies the application of hedge accounting in certain situations to permit new hedging strategies to be eligible for hedge accounting. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, our fiscal 2020. Early adoption is permitted and the modified retrospective transition method should be applied. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
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 – TRADE RECEIVABLES
Trade receivables consist principally of accounts receivable from sales to small to medium sized businesses, principally in Australia, Europe and the United States. Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents management's estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable, as determined from a review of past due balances and other specific account data. The assessment includes actually incurred historical data as well as current economic conditions. Account balances are written off against the allowance when management determines the receivable is uncollectible.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is objective evidence that the consolidated entity or parent entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable may be impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Trade receivables that are past their normal payment terms are overdue and once 60 days past due are considered delinquent. Minimum payment terms vary by product. The maximum payment terms are extended to no more than 90 days by the Company. All trade receivables that are overdue are individually assessed for impairment.
The allowances for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2018 and 2017 are $0 and $135,956 respectively. The Company wrote down all receivables in the current fiscal year along with the associated allowance for doubtful accounts.
