Company Overview

 

Banjo & Matilda, Inc. is an aircraft design and development company focused on the emerging segment of the aviation industry of autonomous and semi-autonomous vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This segment of the aviation industry is attracting significant investment in the development of autonomous and semi-autonomous vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

 

The quintessence of contemporary aeronautical science and engineering, these mostly electric or hybrid-electric aircraft include small remotely controlled UAVs as well as larger passenger and cargo UAVs, which are targeting short-haul, on-demand transport of passengers and freight, called urban aerial mobility (UAM). The feasibility of these more lightweight and efficient aircraft designs is made possible through advances in composite materials, additive manufacturing (3D printing), miniaturization of electronics, computer processing speed, battery power and electromagnetic propulsion.

 

The UAV has become a viable, low cost alternative in many VTOL applications previously dominated by the helicopter, including aerial photography and videography. Among its advantages in aerial filming are its size, acoustics, low cost of operation, low altitude flying and superior maneuverability. Because of UAVs’ explosive growth over the past few years and the anticipated ubiquity in the future, new regulations are being formulated to allow their safe integration into low altitude civil airspace.

 

Stakeholders shaping this integration process include aircraft manufacturers, ridesharing companies, governmental regulatory agencies and civil transportation authorities, all of whom are working toward establishing standards and overcoming the variety of issues involved with its implementation. Key technologies impacting the development and implementation of this VTOL aircraft segment for fully autonomous applications include high speed (5G) data transmission and artificial intelligence. Also drawing interest is the development of VTOL and hover capable rotorcraft that can accomplish many of the civilian and military transport functions of a helicopter, but are faster, quieter, less complex to operate and safer on the ground. Helicopters have been around for over 80 years and have been improved significantly with advanced flight control systems but remain extremely complicated to fly and have performance limitations based on their fundamental flight principles. Due to a condition called retreating blade stall, also known as dissymmetry of lift, helicopters have a maximum forward speed of about 250 miles per hour. Additionally, helicopters produce high noise levels, due primarily to rotor blade vortex interaction and vibration, and have high operating costs.

 

The acquisition of American Aviation Technologies, LLC (“AAT”), which included the “Halo” patent, was undertaken to provide a foundation for the Company’s foray into aerospace industry. The “Halo” patent was issued in October 2019 after AAT had acquired all rights to the Halo aircraft design, including any prospective patents or applications for patents, through an intellectual property assignment by its inventor in 2018. As a scalable and multi-purpose platform, the aircraft’s size and capabilities can be expanded depending on the mission requirements, from a small frame UAV (or drone) to potentially a heavy lift cargo and even passenger transport aircraft, either manned or unmanned. Halo is expected to compete favorably with and exceed the performance of other VTOL aircraft in terms of speed, acoustics, maneuverability, efficiency, duration and safety.

 

The Halo platform is essentially a powered lift type of system with characteristics of tiltrotors and tiltwings and differs from rotorcraft such as the helicopter in its lift and forward propulsion mechanisms during horizontal flight, which has several advantages. Powered lift is one of seven main categories of aircraft classifications designated by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and is defined as “a heavier-than-air aircraft capable of vertical take off and landing (VTOL) and low speed flight that depends principally on engine-driven lift devices or engine thrust for lift during these flight regimes and on non-rotating airfoils for lift during horizontal flight.” In tiltrotors and tiltwings one or more powered rotors are used for both lift and forward propulsion, essentially combining the vertical take off and landing capability of a helicopter with the efficiency, range, speed and cruise altitude of a conventional fixed-wing aircraft. For vertical flight, the rotors are horizontally angled to provide thrust upwards, lifting in the manner that a helicopter rotor operates. As the aircraft gains speed and altitude, the rotors progressively rotate or tilt forward, either moving independently of the wing or integrated and moving with the wing, eventually becoming perpendicular to the fuselage of the aircraft and functioning similar to a propeller in a vertical plane of orientation. Following the transition from vertical to forward flight mode, the airfoil-shaped wing generates the aerodynamic forces for lift and the rotor supplies the thrust. The wing’s greater efficiency, in conjunction with the rotor positioning, assists these aircraft in achieving higher forward speeds than helicopters, which are limited due to retreating blade stall. Tiltrotors and tiltwings are also inherently quieter in forward flight.

Intellectual Property

 

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary AAT, acquired all intellectual property rights to the Halo aircraft, both domestically and internationally, including patents and applications for patents, on October 2, 2018. A Halo aircraft utility patent was filed on September 28, 2018, which is a continuation of U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 12/157,180, filed June 5, 2008, which claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 60/941,965, filed June 5, 2007, with both prior applications fully incorporated in their entireties and for all purposes. The Company received a Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office dated June 10, 2019 on the major claims in the patent application, and a patent was issued on October 22, 2019. The Company filed a design patent application on October 19, 2019 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for legal protection to cover the unique and distinct appearance or configuration of Halo, as well as file for trademarks to register the brand name and intended use, logo design and a few expressions.

 

Market Opportunity

 

An emerging segment of the aviation industry attracting significant investment is the development of autonomous and semi-autonomous vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The quintessence of contemporary aeronautical science and engineering, these mostly electric or hybrid-electric aircraft include small remotely controlled UAVs as well as larger passenger and cargo UAVs, which are targeting short-haul, on-demand transport of passengers and freight, called urban aerial mobility (UAM). The feasibility of these more lightweight and efficient aircraft designs is made possible through advances in composite materials, additive manufacturing (3D printing), miniaturization of electronics, computer processing speed, battery power and electromagnetic propulsion. The UAV has become a viable, low cost alternative in many VTOL applications previously dominated by the helicopter, including aerial photography and videography. Among its advantages in aerial filming are its size, acoustics, low cost of operation, low altitude flying and superior maneuverability. Because of UAVs’ explosive growth over the past few years and their anticipated ubiquity in the future, new regulations are being formulated to allow their safe integration into low altitude civil airspace. Stakeholders shaping this integration process include aircraft manufacturers, ridesharing companies, governmental regulatory agencies and civil transportation authorities, all of whom are working toward establishing standards and overcoming the variety of issues involved with its implementation.

Helicopters have been around for over 80 years and have been improved significantly with advanced flight control systems but remain extremely complicated to fly and have performance limitations based on their fundamental flight principles. Due to a condition called retreating blade stall, also known as dissymmetry of lift, helicopters have a maximum forward speed of about 250 miles per hour. Additionally, helicopters produce high noise levels, due primarily to rotor blade vortex interaction and vibration, and have high operating costs. Most of the modernization activity in vertical lift aircraft design over the past few decades has been directed toward modification of existing platforms.

 

As a new, scalable aerial platform, Halo could potentially compete against virtually all categories of manned or unmanned aircraft and be used in a wide range of consumer, commercial or military applications. The most direct competition for Halo would be other VTOL capable aerial vehicles, which includes any rotorcraft or powered lift aircraft, including small remotely controlled consumer UAVs (or drones), large military UAVs, helicopters and tiltrotors.

The UAV industry has experienced remarkable growth worldwide over the past decade, and most dramatically over the past five years, across the military, civilian governmental and commercial sectors. Industry forecasters view the booming UAV market as early-stage with significant potential, and as a result, expect the strong performance to extend well into the foreseeable future. A November 2018 market study by Teal Group Corporation, a leading U.S. aerospace and defense market analysis firm, predicts that UAVs will be the most dynamic growth sector of the global aerospace industry, more than tripling over the next decade. Critical factors driving the market’s continuing fast-paced surge include worldwide military adoption of UAVs, increased use of UAVs in commercial and civil government applications, ongoing high capital investments in UAV technologies, consolidation of UAV businesses through acquisitions and synergistic partnerships, and the changing regulatory environment for UAVs’ operation in manned airspace. The commercial sector is forecast to register the fastest compound annual growth rate (CAGR), outpacing both the military and civilian sectors; however, military spending will continue to be dominant, representing over 70 percent of all UAV industry revenue.

 

The overwhelmingly dominant hardware manufacturer for consumer UAVs is DJI, a Chinese company with an estimated 74 percent global market share. For professional grade UAVs, their share is approximately 85 percent, according a survey by Skylogic Research. DJI reported revenues of $2.83 billion in 2017, which represents an 80 percent increase over the prior year. The next largest UAV manufacturer is another Chinese company, Yuneec, with an estimated 5 percent market share, followed by 3D Robotics, a U.S. company, and Parrot based in Paris, France. The U.S. is the largest UAV market in the world and will remain the largest for the foreseeable future. According to the FAA, there was around 1.1 million civilian UAVs in the U.S. at the beginning of 2018 based on registrations, which is projected to more than double in 2019, exceeding 2.4 million units.

 

The U.S. is the world’s leader in the deployment and development of military UAVs, with some of the most sought-after systems in the world. A decade of extensive operational work with UAVs has given the U.S. military tremendous experience with the architecture, design, and employment of UAV technology. Based on an assessment by Global Market Insights, the larger, higher value systems procured by the U.S. will drive the relative strength of the U.S. military market in the coming years. Military UAV manufacturing in the U.S. is lead by General Atomics and Northrop Grumman with over 50 percent of the market. Spurred by new venture capital funding, UAV startups are continuing to enter the market while existing companies are consolidating, introducing new products and components, and shifting toward software and end-to end-solutions for niche markets to maintain market relevance. As UAVs become more widely deployed and accepted, regulatory agencies will need to begin identifying and tracking them as with other aircraft, ultimately bringing them into the air traffic networks. While there are 195 countries in the world, each at a different stage of UAV implementation, the UAV industry will likely be dominated by the largest economies, led by the U.S., China, Japan, Germany and the U.K. India will become the fastest growing commercial market for UAVs, having legalized their use in December 2018. According to a 2016 report by Goldman Sachs, the total market for UAV technologies over the five-year period from 2016-2020 is projected at $100 billion. Approximately 70% of this figure, or $70 billion, would be linked to military activities, while the commercial business, which represents the fastest growth sector, is projected to reach $13 billion over this period. Leading the growth in the commercial sector are the construction and agriculture industries, which require UAVs for mapping, inspections, surveying and maintenance.

 

UAVs were originally developed by the military to provide aerial surveillance without risk to personnel and evolved into highly capable aircraft for deployment in a variety of missions, including combat, replacing more expensive aircraft. The foundational technologies pioneered and implemented in military UAV programs, as well as smartphone technology and other advancements within the past decade, have enabled UAVs to become powerful tools and a cost effective, reliable and safer option in an expanding list of business applications across almost every industry. Among the areas experiencing dramatic improvements in recent years are electric propulsion, batteries, navigation systems, computer processing, camera systems, stabilization equipment, imaging sensors and analytics software. Many companies, realizing the value of UAVs, are incorporating them into their business processes, through purchasing complete hardware and software packages or through third party service providers. The growing commercial use of UAVs has led to the FAA and other agencies to begin formulating standards and regulations, which will enable these aircraft to be identified by air traffic control and integrated into the National Airspace System. The benefits of UAV technology for commercial use will only be optimized, however, when both technological capabilities and regulations allow for fully autonomous operation beyond visual line of sight. Smart UAVs are the next big revolution in UAV technology, particularly with the arrival of 5G’s high-speed transmission across mobile networks. High-speed, secure wireless network connectivity, such as 5G, is required to safely expand UAV operations and unlock the true potential of UAVs in commercial applications. Latency, or transmission delay, is one of the technical issues, which has limited fully autonomous deployment but can be almost completely overcome through 5G.

An application whose implementation will be dependent upon the development of autonomous enabling technologies is the use of UAVs in delivery services, or logistics. This application field is receiving significant attention and investment worldwide, and progress is being made on several fronts. According to analysts at Research and Markets, the market for delivery UAV services is projected to reach $29.06 billion by 2027. UAVs have the potential to change last-mile delivery economics for smaller and lighter packages as they could replace many deliveries currently made by traditional delivery vehicles. Since UAVs are not constrained by road infrastructure and congestion, they can theoretically deliver packages faster than a car/truck from a close-by storage location. UAVs can fly over difficult terrain, water or rural areas with poor infrastructure in many cases, or take a much shorter route. Improving the speed of package delivery with lower cost of operation and environmentally friendly technology using unmanned aerial transport systems is currently an area of intense interest among major e-commerce and mass market retailers like Amazon and Walmart, tech giants like IBM and Google, and logistics companies like DHL and UPS. Even some fast food restaurant chains like Domino’s are looking at the potential for food delivery using UAVs. Leading aircraft manufacturers, including Boeing, Airbus and Bell, have become involved with designing these unmanned vehicles and systems for package and cargo transport and delivery, with several prototypes in the process of field-testing. Over the past few years, thousands of patents and applications for patents relating to UAV package delivery systems have been granted or filed. Halo plans to design delivery system architecture to meet the challenges of this emerging field of application.

 

In addition to participating in the small UAV market, the Company will also begin to look at developing larger, scaled-up aircraft using the Halo platform, both manned or unmanned, and other potential applications in aviation. Among the prospective VTOL applications for Halo is short-haul on-demand or scheduled passenger or cargo transport, called urban aerial mobility (UAM). Urban aerial transport vehicles are designed for efficient, low-altitude, inter- and intra-city flights through electrically powered VTOL aircraft (eVTOL). UAM is receiving the attention of major aircraft manufacturers like Airbus, Bell and Boeing, and transportation services companies like Uber, with several prototypes already built. There are an estimated 150 companies worldwide in the process of designing and developing these VTOL capable aircraft. The development timeline and budget for these more sophisticated types of Halo aircraft are significantly increased, due to the stringent testing and certification requirements. While the technology to develop, produce and fly these aircraft on a manned or semi-autonomous basis is available today, and a number of companies are well along in the process, the actual implementation will likely take many years due to lagging regulatory and infrastructure reforms. Most of the major issues related to regulations, airspace integration and infrastructure that will impact the rollout and penetration of these UAM systems are being addressed and seem to be moving in the right direction. Fully autonomous versions are dependent on real time data transmission, such as 5G technologies, and would be even further out. Given the expected lag in federal regulations, integration policies and infrastructure, the Company believes that Halo has the opportunity to become one of the early players in the urban aerial mobility (UAM) market, which may include air taxi service, personal air travel, air ambulance and cargo transportation. Anticipating the materialization of this new market, more than 150 companies worldwide, from well-established aircraft manufacturers to entrepreneurial entries, are in the process of designing and developing short and medium range VTOL-capable aerial vehicles for civilian on-demand and scheduled point-to-point urban transport. These companies want to be part of this emerging aviation segment that is considered to represent the next frontier in commercial aviation. According to a 2018 study by Booz Allen Hamilton, over $1 billion in investment has already been directed to these companies. The convergence of several key trends has enabled the viability of lightweight VTOL aircraft as an option in urban transit, if only on a limited or niche basis. An optimistic scenario by Goldman Sachs projected the demand for air taxis worldwide amounting to $70 billion annually by 2035, requiring an overall production capacity of 50,000 new aircraft a year. John Langford, President and founder of Boeing’s Aurora Flight Sciences, believes an operational air taxi system could make its debut in the mid-2020s.

 

Another VTOL market that may be targeted with the Halo platform is the more powerful long-range, heavy lift manned commercial or military transport aircraft, which is dominated by the helicopter. Halo aircraft designed for this market would be built for payload capacity, higher altitude and endurance, are likely to be powered by engines used for conventional manned aircraft with similar performance requirements. According to research firms ReportBuyer and GlobalData, the global helicopter market, which includes both military and commercial aircraft, was valued at $31.5 billion in 2017 and is projected to increase to $40.4 billion by 2027. The U.S. military’s Future Vertical Life (FVL) initiative, established in 2009, was a plan to replace the aging fleet of helicopters with a new family of next-generation rotorcraft.

Development Strategy

 

The Company plans to introduce the Halo platform as a small, high-performance UAV, which would primarily be used for consumer and commercial applications and operate under Part 107 of FAA regulations. The strategy for initially manufacturing a mini-UAV version of Halo includes low regulatory and certification hurdles, reduced development costs, a relatively short timeline to market, and proof of concept validation, which will assist in the development of future scaled up models. The initial design features a globular, high visibility medial fuselage, designed for hemispherical viewing. Improved safety on the ground, low noise levels and the ability to operate in more confined environments are among Halo’s many advantages over typical open rotor UAVs. Another variant of Halo, intended mainly for military applications, would have a wedge-shaped aerodynamic fuselage for greater speed and stealth. Halo aircraft used for military purposes will likely be developed in coordination with the Department of Defense (DOD), with mission-specific transport, offensive or defensive capabilities and integrated within the military’s existing air support structure. The niche opportunities for Halo may include ISR operations, communications relay or even tactical weapons delivery. According to its FY 2019 budget request, the DOD is looking specifically for UAVs that can improve the situational awareness of small units and that are able to perform complex missions in urban environments such as reconnoitering a building.

 

The Company will follow commonly accepted aircraft development processes and methods in the design and engineering of Halo. After outlining the specific performance objectives of Halo as a small UAV, the Company’s multidisciplinary engineering team will concentrate its efforts on further developing the conceptual design, concentrating on fundamental aerodynamics and the main structural and mechanical components of the aircraft. Using a project management approach, the goal is to complete the conceptual design through a digital mock-up within six months, and a more detailed design and functioning prototype by the end of the following 12 months. Computer-generated 3D modeling and simulations will be used to configure a basic functioning aircraft that will lift, hover, and transition to forward flight, as well as help determine if modifications will be needed to the airframe or movable surfaces to promote stability and maneuverability. In the next phase of design, the team (internal and external) will focus on developing the supporting systems, including propulsion, navigational and control systems, payloads, and optimization of all elements of the aircraft. The analysis involved in this level of the development process will include CFD (computational fluid dynamics), MBD (multi-body dynamics) and FEA (finite element analysis) to determine the aircraft’s performance under various conditions. The Company intends to build a series of consumer mini-sized UAV prototypes, which will be fabricated, revised and field tested over several months to demonstrate proof of concept. After the design is finalized, the Halo UAV will be considered for the wide-ranging needs in each of the potential VTOL UAV market segments, which will be prioritized based on the opportunities. With a working model, the Company can seek strategic alliances, joint ventures or licensing agreements for certification, manufacturing and distribution of particular aircraft for the various respective applications.

Although the Company’s intellectual property dates back to 2008, the Company has only been operating for just over one year. The Company will need to continue building its team to complete the preliminary design phase of the aircraft. Since these individuals will not have worked together, there will likely be personnel changes as the development process proceeds, which may cause disruptions in workflow. The Company’s new location will require proper implementation of security protocols, IT infrastructure, a project management system, policies and procedures, in addition to meeting the demanding reporting requirements as a new public company. These challenges will place additional demands on management’s time, which may create temporary delays in the development process.

 

The Company anticipates significant operating losses into the future and additional capital may be required.

 

Since the Company is still in the process of developing a new type of aircraft there is no revenue and there will be significant operating losses into the foreseeable future. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the capital that will be required to sustain operations. Furthermore, any equity or debt financings, if available at all, may be on terms which are not favorable to the Company (and therefore its shareholders) and, in the case of a new equity offering by the Company, existing shareholders will be diluted unless they purchase their proportionate share of the equity offering. If adequate capital is not available on economically viable terms and conditions, the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition may be materially, adversely affected.

 

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to accomplish the design and engineering needed to demonstrate that the aircraft can operate as planned.

 

Because of unanticipated technological hurdles or the inability to assemble a qualified team to address these challenges, the Company may not be able to meet the aircraft’s performance objectives that are needed to be competitive in the various targeted markets.

 

The development timeline for the aircraft could expand.

 

Due to unexpected challenges, the length of time to develop the aircraft may become expanded, causing cost overruns and potentially demanding the infusion of large amounts of capital and other financing, which may not be available. Because of the long timeline, there is also uncertainty regarding the uniqueness or advantages of the aircraft at the time it is introduced into the market.

 

The aerial platform is still being developed and specific market applications have not been finalized.

 

Because we are in an early stage of development, there is no certainty as to which market applications will be prioritized and targeted for the aircraft, as well as the associated timelines and costs involved when the Company reaches that point of determination after the platform has been proven. There is no assurance that the required selling price of our aircraft or its various models will be competitive.

 

The company will face significant industry competition.

 

Our aircraft will compete with hundreds of domestic and international aircraft companies, many well capitalized, including some who are among the largest aerospace companies in the world, developing VTOL aircraft. The Company could face significant competition from companies who have developed or are developing alternative technologies that could render our aircraft less competitive than planned. Many existing potential competitors are well-established, have or may have longer-standing relationships with customers and potential business partners, have or may have greater name recognition, and have or may have access to substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources.

The Company is dependent on key personnel.

 

The success of the Company depends on its ability to identify, hire, train and retain highly qualified, specialized and experienced management and technical personnel. In addition, as the Company enters new phases in the development process, it will need to hire additional highly skilled personnel. Currently, competition for personnel with the required knowledge, skill and experience is intense, and the Company may not be able to attract, assimilate or retain such personnel. The inability to attract and retain the necessary managerial and technical personnel could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

 

Operations could be adversely affected by interruptions from suppliers of components that are beyond the Company’s control.

 

Whenever possible, the Company intends to use tested and certified systems, components and parts developed and manufactured by third-party suppliers. Our aircraft development could be adversely affected by interruptions in the supply of these components. If any of these third parties experience difficulties, it may have a direct negative impact on our development of the aircraft.

 

Success of the Company is dependent upon it keeping pace with the advances in technology.

 

The Company’s systems and components may be impacted by rapid changes in technology, including the emergence of new industry standards and practices that could require the Company to make modifications to its platform. Some of these technologies may include autonomy and AI (artificial intelligence). The performance of the Company will depend, in part, on its ability to continue to enhance its existing technology or develop new technology that addresses the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of the market, license leading technologies and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost effective basis. The development of the Company’s proprietary technology entails significant technical as well as business risks. The Company may be unsuccessful in using new technologies effectively or adapting its systems or other proprietary technology to the requirements of emerging industry standards. If the Company is unable to adapt to these changes and demands, the results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

 

The Company could face liability or disruption from security breaches.

 

The Company’s development process involves the storage of critical, secure and proprietary information. The Company’s computer infrastructure is potentially vulnerable to both physical and electronic invasions, such as cyberattacks and security breaches. The Company will be required to expend significant capital and other resources to defend against and lessen or correct the adverse effects of these invasions. Any such invasion could result in significant damage to the Company. A person who is able to circumvent the security measures employed by the Company could capture proprietary information; alter or destroy the information of the Company; or cause interruptions of the operations of the Company.

 

Misappropriation of the intellectual property and proprietary rights of the Company could impair the competitive position of the Company.

 

The success of the Company will depend to some extent upon is proprietary patented technology. The legal protections available to the Company can afford only limited protection, and these means of protecting the intellectual property of the Company may be inadequate. The Company relies and will continue to rely on patent, trademark, trade secret and copyright laws, confidentiality agreements, employment agreements, work for hire agreements, and technical measures to protect its intellectual property. The Company cannot assure that the steps taken by it will prevent misappropriation of its technology or that the agreements entered into for that purpose will be enforceable. Effective trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every jurisdiction in which the Company’s products and services are made available online. The intellectual property of the Company may be subject to even greater risk in foreign jurisdictions, as the laws of many countries do not protect intellectual property to the same extent as the laws of the United States. As part of its confidentiality procedures, the Company generally will enter into agreements with its employees and consultants and limit access to its trade secrets and technology. The Company cannot assure or assume, however, that former employees will not seek to start or enhance other competing products or services to the detriment of the Company, its business, results of operations and financial condition. Nevertheless, management believes that the technical and creative skills of its personnel, continued development of its proprietary systems and technology, as well as brand name recognition and development are more essential in establishing and maintaining a competitive market position.

Despite efforts to protect its proprietary rights, unauthorized persons may attempt to copy aspects of its products or services or to obtain and use information that the Company regards as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of its proprietary rights is difficult and requires constant attention. The Company may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and police its intellectual property rights. The Company may not be able to detect infringement and may lose its competitive position in the market before it is able to ascertain any such infringement. In addition, competitors may design around the Company’s proprietary technology or develop competing technologies.

 

Intellectual property litigation has become prevalent in the software field. Such litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce the intellectual property rights of the Company, to protect its trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others or to defend against claims of infringement by the Company. Other companies, including competitors, may obtain patents or other proprietary rights that would prevent, limit or interfere with the ability of the Company to make, use or sell its products and services. Any such litigation by or against the Company, whether the claims are valid or not, could result in the Company incurring substantial costs and diversion of resources, including the attention of senior management. If the Company is unsuccessful in such legal proceedings, the Company could be subjected to significant damages; be required to license technology that is critical to the operations of the Company, if a license is available at a cost which the Company can pay; or be required to develop replacement technologies at substantial cost to the Company in money and time. Any of these results could materially and adversely affect the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

 

Many of the regulations involving planned applications of our aircraft are still being established.

 

The USDOT, FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and other agencies at the federal, state and local levels are beginning to address some of the numerous certification, regulatory and legal challenges associated with urban air mobility. A comprehensive set of standards and enforcement procedures for these new transport systems will need to be developed. Urban mobility aircraft and their operators must undergo rigorous testing and certification, which may require new or modified airworthiness certification standards. These aircraft will also need to comply with existing regulations or be the subject of new regulations to cover their activities. Current regulations govern operating BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight), passenger transport, operating over people and public streets, privacy, transporting commercial cargo across state lines and instrument-based flight. The integration of UAM into the National Airspace System and air traffic management is a critical factor, requiring a remote identification process for these aircraft. The FAA’s Unmanned Aircraft System Integration Pilot Program (IPP) will provide certification necessary to operate UAVs for certain applications. It is uncertain how new or changed laws and regulations will affect the introduction of our aerial platform into the marketplace. The time and costs involved in obtaining these certifications and regulatory compliance may adversely impact the development process.

 

There are demanding regulatory requirements involved in producing, testing and certifying an aircraft.

 

Once the aircraft has gone through the detailed design phase, prototype manufacturing and flight testing, certification by the FAA will be required. The process to obtain such certification is expensive and time consuming and has inherent engineering risks. These include testing for structural strength and fatigue resistance under various conditions, flight tests to assess stability and handling, performance under various extremes controllability, and failure safety. Delays in FAA certification will likely result in the Company incurring increased costs in attempting to correct any issues, and the Company will not be permitted to deliver any aircraft until it has obtained the necessary certification.

 

We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

We currently anticipate that we will retain all future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any payment of cash dividends will depend upon our financial condition, capital requirements, earnings and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

Our stock may be subject to certain risks associated with low-priced stocks.

 

Our common stock is expected to continue to trade on the over-the-counter (OTC) market. The Company is a development-stage company with no present revenues, so the trading price of our common stock may remain below $5.00. So long as our common stock trades below $5.00 per share, the stock will be treated as a “penny stock.” Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to their established customers must deliver a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with investing in penny stocks prior to any transaction. Additional restrictions apply to broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally defined as an investor with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually or $300,000 together with a spouse). For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. The broker-dealer must provide such information to the customer orally or in writing before or with the written confirmation of trade sent to the customer. Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Broker-dealers may be discouraged from dealing with our common stock if they have to bear these additional burdens, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the common stock and the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares.

 

Our stock price is likely to be volatile.

 

The market price for our common stock will be influenced by many factors and will be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in our operating results and other factors such as investor perceptions of the prospects for the aircraft industry, especially as it relates to VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft, UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems), economic conditions, the financial markets, the regulatory environment, and/or changes in management.

 

There will be a substantial number of common shares eligible for future sale.

 

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, which closed on September 30, 2019, we have issued 3,126,832 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in the Exchange. Each preferred share is convertible into 1,000 common shares. Once converted, all of these common shares will constitute “restricted shares” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. All of these shares will become eligible for resale under Rule 144 commencing on the six-month anniversary of the closing of the merger. The sale, or availability for sale, for the foregoing shares could adversely affect the market price of our common stock or impair our ability to raise capital through future sales of our common stock.

 

Employees

 

As of June 30, 2019, we had 3 employees. Upon the Share Exchange Agreement of September 30, 2019, the Company had 2 employees.

 

Key Management

 

As of June 30, 2019, the management consisted of Belynda Storelli Macpherson, Brendan Macpherson, and David Whitcroft. Upon the Share Exchange Agreement of September 30, 2019, Ms. Storelli, Mr. Macpherson and Mr. Whitcroft resigned, Keith Duffy was appointed CEO, and Edward DeFeudis was appointed as Director.

Risks Related to Our Business

 

History of Losses and Expectation of Future Losses

 

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we had a net loss of $4,387,956 and $838,381, respectively, and we expect losses in future periods. There can be no assurance that we will ever become profitable.

 

Our fiscal year 2019 audited financial statements contain a going-concern qualification, raising questions as to our continued existence.

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company had no cash and $3,033,018 and $4,071,102 in negative working capital, respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had a net loss of $4,387,956 and $838,381, respectively. 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.

 

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 year 2019. 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, 2019, we had a cash balance of $0 and negative working capital of $3,033,018. Our net loss of $4,387,956 in the year ended June 30, 2019 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.

 

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 has authorized the designation of preferred stock without shareholder approval that have 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.

As a condition for the merger agreement between the Company and American Aviation Technologies LLC (“AAT”) entered into as of April 16, 2019 but deemed effective September 30, 2019, Mr. Macpherson agreed to cancel his employment agreement and return his 1,000,000 preferred shares to the treasury of the Company. The agreement was canceled and the shares were returned on September 30, 2019.

 

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement with American Aviation Technologies, LLC executed on April 16, 2019, the Board of Directors agreed to designate 3,500,000 Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 with 1,000 voting rights per share, and convertible into 1,000 Common Shares for each share of Series A Preferred. The Series A Preferred shares were designated by the Board of Directors on September 30, 2019.

 

The Series A Preferred Shareholders have 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.

 

The Series A Shares held by the ownership group of American Aviation Technologies, LLC owns significant portion of our outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Shares, 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, these shareholders control 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.

 

The Series A Shareholders 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 their judgment, could enhance their equity value, even though such transactions might involve risks to our other stockholders. For example, the Series A Shareholders could cause us to make acquisitions that increase our indebtedness. The Series A Shareholders 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.

 

 
16

 

Table of Contents

 

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

 

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

 

 

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.

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.

Penny Stock Regulations

 

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

 

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

 

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.

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.

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, 2019 and 2018. 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, 2019 and 2018, 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 2019 represented the winding down of operations for the company’s clothing businesses and a transition to its focus on the aerospace industry.

 

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 shifted focus to the aerospace industry and signed a Share Exchange Agreement with American Aviation Technologies LLC, on April 16, 2019. The Share Exchange was effective September 30, 2019.

Discontinued Operations

 

Total loss from operations of discontinued operations decreased 81% from $280,211 to $54,483, for the year ended June 30, 2019 compared with the year ended June 30, 2018. The reduction in expense was driven by the wind down in operations. The Company recorded a loss on disposition of discontinued operations in the amount of $3,883,952 for the year ended June 30, 2019.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss was $4,387,956 for the year ended June 30, 2019 compared to $838,381 for the year ended June 30, 2018. The increased net loss was due to the disposition of discontinued operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2019, we had a cash balance of $0 and negative working capital of $3,026,668. Our net loss of $4,387,956 in the year ended June 30, 2019 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 2019, our operating activities used $28,360 of net cash compared to using $52,336 of net cash flow in our operating activities during fiscal year 2018. This difference primarily resulted from the cessation of operations.

 

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

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company had no cash and $3,033,018 and $4,071,102 in negative working capital, respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had a net loss of $4,387,956 and $838,381, respectively. 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 Australia Pty Ltd. and Banjo & Matilda USA, Inc., collectively referred to as the Company. All material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s latest annual financial statements.

 

Exchange Gain (Loss)

 

During the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the transactions of the Company were denominated in US Dollars.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

During the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 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).

 

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 inter-related 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 a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company’s performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.

 

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 or general and administrative expenses. We had no selling expenses for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 operations.

 

 
27

 

Table of Contents

 

At June 30, 2019, the Company had not taken any significant uncertain tax positions on its tax returns for periods ended June 30, 2019 and prior years or in computing its tax provision for 2016. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by the Company in its Federal and State tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The Company is subject to examination by U.S. Federal and State tax authorities from the period ended June 30, 2017 to the present, generally for three years after they are filed.

 

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, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company had $0 and $0 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.

Table of Contents

  

Property, Plant & Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. The estimated useful lives of our property and equipment are generally as follows: computer software developed or acquired for internal use, three to 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. Property and equipment is categorized under assets of discontinued operations in the balance sheet. Additionally, depreciation expense would be included under loss from operations of discontinued operations in the statement of operations.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

On June 20, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 is intended to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share-based payments to nonemployees (for example, service providers, external legal counsel, suppliers, etc.). Under the new standard, companies will no longer be required to value non-employee awards differently from employee awards. Meaning that companies will value all equity classified awards at their grant-date under ASC 718 and forgo revaluing the award after this date. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on August 6, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Reclassification

 

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

 

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Banjo & Matilda, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Banjo & Matilda, Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2019, the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended, 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, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

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 audit. 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 audit 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.

 

Our audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Banjo & Matilda, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

All currencies represented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are in United States Dollars (USD) unless specified as AUD (Australian Dollars).

 

Banjo & Matilda, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on December 18, 2009 under the name Eastern World Group, Inc. and changed its name to Banjo & Matilda, Inc. on September 24, 2013 and is now located in Boca Raton, FL.

 

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

 

In consideration for the purchase of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Banjo & Matilda under the Exchange Agreement, we issued B&M Shareholders an aggregate of 24,338,872 restricted shares of common stock of the Company.

 

On November 15, 2013, we entered into an employment agreement with the Banjo & Matilda co-founders: Brendan Macpherson, as the chief executive officer of the Registrant, and 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.

 

Following the worldwide demise of the retail clothing business model, in June of 2017, Banjo & Matilda, Inc. began to seek out additional businesses to acquire as subsidiaries to expand and refocus its operations to generate more revenue and profit.

 

On September 20, 2017, Banjo & Matilda, Inc. entered into a Memorandum of Understanding for the acquisition of Spectrum King, LLC as a wholly-owned subsidiary, a pioneer of full spectrum LED grow lights, specialized in designing, manufacturing and selling high-end LED grow lights for indoor/greenhouse applications with both the Agriculture and Horticulture industries.

 

On March 19, 2018, Banjo & Matilda, Inc. entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Spectrum King, LLC, however this transaction failed to close.

 

On April 16, 2019, Banjo & Matilda, Inc. entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with American Aviation Technologies, LLC (“AAT”), an aircraft design and development company focused on the emerging segment of the aviation industry of autonomous and semi-autonomous vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

 

As part of this new direction, on June 28, 2019, Banjo & Matilda, Inc. executed a Bill of Sale, Assignment and Assumption Agreement with WNPAU Pty Ltd. for the disposition of the two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Banjo & Matilda (USA), Inc. and Banjo & Matilda Australia Pty LTD, which included the related assets and liabilities. As part of the agreement, WNPAU Pty Ltd. assumed $4,305 in combined assets of the subsidiaries in exchange for assuming $1,546,393 in liabilities of the subsidiaries. See Note 4.

On September 30, 2019, the Company completed the Share Exchange with American Aviation Technologies, LLC (“AAT”), an aircraft design and development company with a patented revolutionary aircraft design call “Halo.”

 

Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 Company’s financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company had no cash and $3,033,018 and $4,071,102 in negative working capital, respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had a net loss of $4,387,956 and $838,381, respectively. 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 consolidated 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 Australia Pty Ltd. and Banjo & Matilda USA, Inc., collectively referred to as the Company. All material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the company’s latest annual financial statements.

Table of Contents

 

Exchange Gain (Loss)

 

During the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the transactions of the Company were denominated in US Dollars.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

During the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 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).

 

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 inter-related 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 a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company’s performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.

 

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.

 

 
F-9

 

Table of Contents

 

Selling Expense

 

Selling expenses consist primarily of shipping and handling costs, relating to the delivery of products to customers, are classified as selling or general and administrative expenses. We had no selling expenses for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 operations.

 

At June 30, 2019, the Company had not taken any significant uncertain tax positions on its tax returns for periods ended June 30, 2019 and prior years or in computing its tax provision for 2016. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by the Company in its Federal and State tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The Company is subject to examination by U.S. Federal and State tax authorities from the period ended June 30, 2017 to the present, generally for three years after they are filed.

 

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, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company had $0 and $0 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.

 

Property, Plant & Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. The estimated useful lives of our property and equipment are generally as follows: computer software developed or acquired for internal use, three to 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. Property and equipment is categorized under assets of discontinued operations in the balance sheet. Additionally, depreciation expense would be included under loss from operations of discontinued operations in the statement of operations.

 

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:

 

 
F-11

 

Table of Contents

 

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.

 

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.

 

The following table sets for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

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.

 

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.

 

On June 20, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 is intended to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share-based payments to nonemployees (for example, service providers, external legal counsel, suppliers, etc.). Under the new standard, companies will no longer be required to value non-employee awards differently from employee awards. Meaning that companies will value all equity classified awards at their grant-date under ASC 718 and forgo revaluing the award after this date. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on August 6, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

Reclassification

 

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

Trade Financing – January 7, 2013

 

On January 7, 2013, the Company entered into a trade financing agreement with a financial institution in Australia with a maximum limit of AUD $200,000 at an interest rate of 20.95% per annum. Upon default of the loan, the Company reached a settlement with its obligation with the entity in the amount of AUD $165,523. Per the settlement, the amount was to be paid through application of its Export Market Development Grant and up to 25% of the Company’s store sales in Australia. As of June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, the outstanding balance of this financing was USD $49,454. However, the balance of this financing was included in the June 28, 2019 spin-off and therefore is not an obligation of the Company as of June 30, 2019.

 

Trade Financing – August 14, 2014

 

On August 14, 2014, the Company entered into a trade finance agreement with an entity in the United States with a total maximum facility of $1,500,000 based on $1,000,000 towards sales invoiced and $500,000 towards purchase order financing. Original term was for 12 months with automatic renewal for each consecutive period thereafter with interest at base rate floor of 3.25% plus 4.5%. In the event of default, an additional 7% interest is added. As of June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, the Company had an outstanding balance of $128,468. The Company renewed the loan term indefinitely until full settlement occurs. As of June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, the Company had an accrued interest balance of $78,125 and $58,493, respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded interest expense in the amount of $19,532 and $19,531, respectively. However, the balance of this financing and related accrued interest was included in the June 28, 2019 spin-off and therefore is not an obligation of the Company as of June 30, 2019.

 

Trade Financing – November 2, 2016

 

On November 2, 2016, the Company entered into a merchant agreement with a capital funding group for a purchase price of $35,000 and purchased amount of $47,250. The Company amortized the excess of purchase amount over the purchase price, over the term of the financing of 21 months. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company cannot obtain future financing by selling receivables without consent from the lender. The Merchant holds a security interest in all accounts and proceeds. As of June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, the balance owed to the lender amounted to $17,981 and accrued interest of $18,663 and $11,667, respectively. The term has been extended indefinitely until full settlement occurs without penalty. For the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded interest expense in the amount of $6,996 and $7,000, respectively.

Accounting Considerations

 

The Company evaluated the agreements under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 generally requires the analysis embedded terms and features that have characteristics of derivatives to be evaluated for bifurcation and separate accounting in instances where their economic risks and characteristics are not clearly and closely related to the risks of the host contract. The embedded conversion features contained in the August 9, 2014 and December 12, 2014 were a variable conversion price and resulted in an embedded derivative and thus requiring bifurcation. The embedded conversion options in the remaining notes did not result in embedded derivatives that required bifurcation. Effective March 19, 2018, the note holder agreed to convert all outstanding principal and interest into 42,128 shares of Series A Preferred Stock upon the consummation of a merger. This settlement agreement eliminated the original derivative conversion terms. The note will now convert at a fixed rate plus any accrued interest.

 

The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was $87,689 and $58,570, respectively. The accrued interest balance was $9,962 and $5,413 as of June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. During the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded interest expense in the amount of $4,549 and $5,144, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 the principal and interest related to this loan was written down by $9,630 and $1,940, respectively, to accurately reflect the value of the conversion.

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

 

(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On October 15, 2019, our board of directors dismissed Farber Hass Hurley LLP (“FHH”), as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

FHH’s report on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

 

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no disagreements with FHH on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of FHH, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the financial statements for such year. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and the date of dismissal of FHH there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

(b) New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On October 15, 2019, our board of directors approved the engagement of Salberg & Company, P.A. (“SC”), as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm.

 

(c) New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

 

Effective December 4, 2019, the Company engaged BF Borgers CPA P.C. (“BF”), as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm. The engagement was approved by the Company’s board of directors.

 

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and during the period subsequent to June 30,2019 to the date of BF’s engagement, the Company has not consulted BF regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and either a written report was provided to the registrant or oral advice was provided that the new accountant concluded was an important factor considered by the registrant in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(o)(1)(iv)) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v)).

 

BF replaces Farber Hass Hurley LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm as disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 21, 2019 (the “Prior 8-K”). In the Prior 8-K, the Company incorrectly stated that Salberg & Company, P.A., was engaged as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm.

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, 2019, 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 Keith Duffy our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2019. 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, Keith Duffy 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, Keith Duffy. Mr. Duffy 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, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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.

Director Independence; Standing Committees

 

The Company believes that Mr. Duffy and DeFeudis, do not qualify as “independent directors” under the Nasdaq Stock Market’s listing standards, when they join the Board of Directors upon reconstitution of the Board as described in this Information Statement.

 

The Company’s common stock is traded on OTCPink under the symbol “BANJ,” and is delinquent in its SEC filings. The OTCPink trading platform does not maintain any standards regarding the “independence” of the directors for our Board of Directors, and we are not otherwise subject to the requirements of any national securities exchange or an inter-dealer quotation system with respect to the need to have a majority of our directors be independent.

 

The Company’s Board presently has no functioning standing committees. After the Exchange, the Company expects to adopt new charters for the various committees.

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.

 

Option Exercises and Fiscal Year-End Option Value Table

 

None of the named executive officers exercised any stock options during the year ended June 30, 2019, or held any outstanding stock options as of June 30, 2019.

Security Ownership

Each person known to the Company to own beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, either before or immediately after the merger.

 

Each of the post-Merger directors and executive officers of the Company.

 

All of our post-Merger directors and executive officers as a group.

 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Shares of common stock subject to any warrants or options that are presently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 26, 2020, are deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding the warrants or options, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The numbers reflected in the percentage ownership columns are based on a fully diluted basis of the Company’s common stock outstanding after a conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Shares. The persons named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.
