PANGLOBAL BRANDS INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization and Nature of Operations
EZ English Online Corp, a
Delaware corporation (EZ English), was incorporated in the State of Delaware
on March 2, 2005. EZ English sold common stock pursuant to a registration
statement on Form SB-2 declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on February 28, 2006, and raised gross proceeds of approximately
$85,000. Through September 30, 2006, EZ English was a development stage company
offering a teacher training course to teach English as a second language over
the Internet.
Beginning in December 2006, in
conjunction with a new controlling shareholder acquiring approximately 79% of
the issued and outstanding common shares, EZ English began a program to
discontinue its existing business operations and prepare to enter the fashion
industry. On February 2, 2007, in order to better reflect its future business
operations and prepare for its acquisition of Mynk Corporation, a privately-held
Nevada corporation (Mynk), EZ English completed a merger with its wholly-owned
Delaware subsidiary, in order to effect a name change to Panglobal Brands Inc.
(Panglobal), and effected a six-for-one forward split of its outstanding
common stock. All common share amounts referred to herein are presented on a
post-split basis. All options referred to herein were issued on a post-split
basis.
Mynk was incorporated in Nevada
on February 3, 2006 to engage in the business of design, manufacture and
distribution of clothing and accessories throughout the United States and
Canada.
Unless the context indicates
otherwise, Panglobal and Mynk are hereinafter referred to as the Company. The
Company sells its products through a network of wholesale accounts. The Company
was considered a development stage company as defined in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development
Stage Enterprises until December 31, 2007, as it had not yet commenced any
material revenue-generating operations, did not have any material cash flows
from operations, and was dependent on debt and equity funding to finance its
operations. The Company recorded approximately $13.9 million in revenue in the
year ended September 30, 2008 and no longer considers its self a development
stage company.
Basis of Presentation
Interim Financial Information
The interim consolidated
financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management of the
Company, contain all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments),
necessary to present fairly the financial position at March 31, 2009, the
results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 and the
cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2009.
Operating results for the three
and six months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2009.
2. Business Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Going Concern and Plan of Operations
The Companys consolidated
financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going
concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. Prior to December 31, 2007 the
Company had been in the development stage. It generated approximately $13.9
million in revenues from operations for the year ended September 30, 2008 and
$11.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 but is still dependent
upon debt and equity financing which raises substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern. The Companys ability to continue as a going
concern is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations. As of
March 31, 2009, the Company had an accumulated deficit of ($16,284,766);
and negative working capital of ($2,542,319) and had incurred a net loss of ($1,913,732) and used net cash in operating activities of ($1,132,269) for the six months ended March 31, 2009. The accompanying financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
At March 31, 2009, the Company had five quarters of revenue-generating operations. Principal activity through December 31, 2007 related to the Companys formation, capital raising efforts and initial product design
and development activities. Revenue generating activities generated approximately $13.9 million in revenue for the period from January 1-September 30, 2008 and the Company has an order backlog of approximately $10.0 million in prospective
sales as of April 30, 2009. The Company has yet to generate any material cash flows from operations, and is essentially dependent on debt and equity funding from both related and unrelated parties to finance its operations.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Panglobal and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mynk Corporation. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, due from factor, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, loan from officer and convertible note payable to shareholders approximate
their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these items and/or the current interest rates payable in relation to current market conditions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At times, such cash and cash equivalents may exceed federally insured limits.
The Company has not experienced a loss in such accounts to date. The Company maintains its accounts with financial institutions with high credit ratings. The cash held by the factor is not included in cash and cash equivalents (see Note 5).
Accounts Receivable
The Company extends credit to customers whose sales invoices have not been sold to our factor based upon an evaluation of the customers financial condition and credit history and generally require no collateral.
Management performs regular evaluations concerning the ability of our customers to satisfy their obligations and records a provision for doubtful accounts based on these evaluations. Based on existing economic conditions and collection practices,
the Companys allowance for doubtful accounts has been estimated to be $400,232 and $544,176 at March 31, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risks
During the three months ended March 31, 2009 sales to three customers accounted for 15.5%, 14.5% and 11.1% of the Companys net sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, purchases from one supplier
totaled approximately $2,241,629. At March 31, 2009, one customer accounted for 61% of the Accounts Receivable, net of allowance. At March 31, 2009, three customers accounted for 21%, 16%, and 15%, respectively, of the Due From Factor.
Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined by the first-in, first-out method. The Company continually evaluates its inventories by assessing slow-moving product and records
mark-downs as appropriate. At March 31, 2009, inventories consisted of finished goods, work-in-process and raw materials.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged
to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or sold, the property accounts and related accumulated depreciation and amortization accounts are relieved, and any resulting gain or loss is included in operations.
Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets of five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the remaining life of the related lease, which has been
determined to be shorter than the useful life of the asset.
Trademarks and Intangibles
Effective with the Companys adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, since inception of the Company, intangibles (including
trademarks) with indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but instead tested for impairment. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets
may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized if future cash flows of the related assets are less than their carrying values.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles
Long-lived assets, including purchased intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of
assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by
the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Management has considered the net loss incurred
for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and has concluded that there is no impairment of long lived assets or intangibles at March 31, 2009.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of merchandise to its wholesale accounts when products are shipped and the customer takes title and assumes the risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is
reasonably assured, pervasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or otherwise determinable. Sales allowances are recorded as a reduction to revenue. Management has evaluated the effects of estimating and accruing for
sales returns in the current and prior periods and provides for an estimated allowance for returns.
Design and Development
Design and development costs related to the development of new products are expensed as incurred.
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs, consisting primarily of placement in publications, along with design and printing costs of sales materials when incurred. Advertising expense for the three months ended March 31,
2009 and 2008 amounted to $600 and $13,345, respectively. Advertising expense for the six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $1,100 and $21,821, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company records shipping and handling costs billed to customers as a component of revenue, and shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company for inbound and outbound freight are recorded in selling and
shipping expenses. Total shipping and handling costs amounted to $56,158 and $20,520 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Total shipping and handling costs amounted to $110,752 and $27,979 for the six
months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
Effective February 3, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R), a revision to SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123R requires that the Company measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity awards based on the grant date fair value of the awards, with the cost to be
recognized as compensation expense in the Company's financial statements over the period of benefit, which is generally the vesting period of the awards. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation cost for equity-based compensation for all new
or modified grants issued after February 3, 2006 (Inception).
The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with EITF No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for
Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, and EITF 00-18, Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees, whereas the value of the stock compensation
is based upon the measurement date as determined at either (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.
The Company will provide a valuation allowance for the full amount of the deferred tax asset since there is no assurance of future taxable income. Tax deductible losses can be carried forward for 20 years until
utilized.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN
48). FIN 48 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax
position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position
should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes,
accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements. The Company currently files or has in the past filed income tax
returns in the United States. The Company is subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years ending in 2006 and subsequently.
The Companys policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2009, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax
positions.
Loss per Common Share
Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective periods. Basic and diluted loss per common share are the same for all
periods presented because all warrants and stock options outstanding are anti-dilutive. The related party loan continues to be convertible to common shares and is not repaid at March 31, 2009, but the conversion is anti-
dilutive. The 2,884,612 shares of common stock issued to the founders of Mynk in conjunction with the closing of the reverse merger transaction on May 11, 2007 have been presented as outstanding for all periods presented.
3. Share Exchange Agreement and Private Placements
Share Exchange Agreement
As a result of the sale of the 10,610,226 shares of common stock in late February 2007 at a per share price of $0.45, and the acquisition of Mynk by Panglobal effective May 11, 2007, the Company has determined that the grant date fair value charge to operations for all stock options and other similar stock-based compensation that is amortizable over future periods should begin on May 11, 2007, since that is the date on which acquisition occurred and the period of benefit therefore began. Since the Company’s common stock traded on a very limited and sporadic basis prior to May 11, 2007, the Company has also determined that the best indicator of fair value of the Company’s common stock on May 11, 2007 was the $0.45 per share cash price paid by the investors in the recent private placement, who owned approximately 40% of the issued and outstanding shares of common on May 11, 2007.
Private Placements
On February 27, 2007, in anticipation of the Exchange, the Company sold an aggregate of 9,426,894 shares of its common stock to fifty accredited investors in an initial closing of its private placement at a per share
price of $0.45, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $4,242,103. Net cash proceeds to the Company, after the deduction of all private placement offering costs and expenses of $21,900, were $4,220,203.
On February 28, 2007, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,183,332 shares of its common stock to nine accredited investors in a second closing of the private placement at a per share price of $0.45, resulting in
aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $532,499. Net cash proceeds to the Company were also $532,499.
Stephen Soller, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, purchased 291,666 shares in the private placement for $131,250. Craig Soller, the brother of Stephen Soller and a consultant to the Company, purchased
244,444 shares of common stock in the private placement for $110,000. Three Mynk shareholders also purchased an aggregate of 299,999 shares in the private placement for $134,500.
On October 23, 2007, the Company closed a private placement of 2,871,759 units for gross proceeds of $2,153,818. Each unit was sold for $0.75 and consists of one common share and one common share purchase
warrant. Each common share purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase, if exercised, one additional common share of our company at a price of $1.00 per common share until October 23, 2008 and at $1.50 per common share if exercised
during the period from October 24, 2008 until the warrants expire on October 23, 2009.
On July 11, 2008, the Company closed a private placement, selling 8,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share for proceeds of $4,000,000. The Company issued 560,000 shares pursuant to the
exemption from registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933 provided by Section 4(2), Section 4(6) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act to four (4) investors who are accredited investors within
the respective meanings ascribed to that term in Rule 501(a) under the 1933 Act. The Company issued 7,440,000 shares to eighteen (18) non U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933) in an offshore transaction
relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
On February 6, 2009, the Company raised $370,000 in a private placement selling 3,700,000 units consisting of 3,700,000 common shares at a price of $0.10 per share plus 1,850,000 warrants to purchase common
shares at a price of $0.25 per share. The warrants are exercisable for twelve months. The Company issued 3,700,000 shares to four (4) non U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933) in an offshore
transaction relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Stock Options
On January 18, 2007, in anticipation of the closing of the Exchange and Private Placements, the Company granted to Felix Wasser, the Companys Chief Financial Officer, a stock option to purchase an aggregate of
250,000 shares of common stock, exercisable for a period of five years at $0.30 per share, with one quarter vesting every six months through January 18, 2009. The fair value of this option, as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model, was determined to be $97,500 ($0.39 per share), and was being charged to operations ratably from May 11, 2007 through January 18, 2009. Felix Wasser resigned as an officer of the Company on August 21, 2007 and no
further charges to operations were recorded. Vesting has ceased and the 250,000 options have been cancelled.
On February 12, 2007, in anticipation of the closing of the Exchange and Private Placements, the Company granted to Stephen Soller, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, stock options to purchase an aggregate of
1,800,000 shares of common stock, exercisable for a period of five years at $0.30 per share, with one-sixth vesting every six months through February 12, 2010. The fair value of this option, as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model, was determined to be $702,000 ($0.39 per share), and is being charged to operations ratably from May 11, 2007 through February 12, 2010. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 the Company recorded a charge to
operations of $63,818 with respect to this option. During the six months ended March 31, 2009 the Company recorded a charge to operations of $127,636 with respect to this option.
The fair value of these stock options were calculated using the following Black-Scholes input variables: stock price on date of grant - $0.45; exercise price - $0.30; expected life 4.67 4.75 years;
expected volatility -125%; expected dividend yield - 0%; risk-free interest rate 5.0% .
On February 12, 2007, in anticipation of the closing of the Exchange and Private Placements, the Company granted to two consultants stock options to purchase an aggregate of 375,000 shares of common stock exercisable
for a period of five years at $0.45 per share, with one-third of the options vesting annually on each of February 11, 2008, February 11, 2009 and February 11, 2010. The fair value of these options, as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model, was initially determined to be $142,500 ($0.38 per share). The fair value of such options is being charged to operations ratably from May 11, 2007 through February 11, 2010. In accordance with EITF 96-18, options
granted to consultants are valued each reporting period to determine the amount to be recorded as an expense in the respective period. On March 31, 2009 the fair value of these options, as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model, was determined to be $0.07 per share, which resulted in a charge to operations of $795 during the three months ended March 31, 2009. As the options vest, they will be valued on each vesting date and an adjustment will be recorded for
the difference between the value already recorded and the then current value on the date of vesting. On October 31, 2007 the relationship of one of the consultants with the Company ended and options to exercise 250,000 shares of common stock have
been cancelled at that time and previously calculated compensation in the amount of $34,205 had been reversed during the three months ended December 31, 2007. Accordingly, there will be no further non-cash compensation expenses charged relating
to those 250,000 options.
On February 12, 2007, the fair value of the aforementioned stock options was calculated using the following Black-Scholes input variables: stock price on date of grant - $0.45; exercise price - $0.45; expected
life 4.75 years; expected volatility - 125%; expected dividend yield - 0%; risk-free interest rate 5.0% . On September 30, 2007, the fair value of the aforementioned stock options was calculated using the following Black-Scholes input
variables: stock price of grant - $1.02; exercise price - $0.45; expected life 4.625 years; expected volatility - 125%; expected dividend yield - 0%; risk-free interest rate 5.0%
On August 7, 2007, the Company granted a consultant a stock option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock exercisable for a period of one year at $0.45 per share, all of which were fully vested upon issuance,
for past services through June 2007. The fair value of this option, as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined to be $69,000 ($0.69 per share), and was charged to operations at June 30, 2007. At June 30,
2008, the Company agreed to extend the exercise period by one year. The fair value of the one year extension, as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was determined to be $35,000 ($0.35 per share), and was fully
charged to operations at June 30, 2008.
On October 23, 2007, the Company granted to Charles Lesser, the Companys Chief Financial Officer, stock options to purchase an aggregate of 480,000 shares of common stock, exercisable for a period of five years at
$0.75 per share, with 10,000 shares vesting monthly commencing January 1, 2008 through December 1, 2011. The fair value of this option, as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined to be $355,200
($0.74 per share), and is being charged to operations ratably from November 1, 2007 through December 1, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 the Company recorded a charge to operations of $21,312. During the six months ended
March 31, 2009 the Company recorded a charge to operations of $42,624.
The fair value of these stock options were calculated using the following Black-Scholes input variables: stock price on date of grant - $0.88; exercise price - $0.75; expected life 4.25 4.50 years;
expected volatility -125%; expected dividend yield - 0%; risk-free interest rate 5.0% .
On October 23, 2007, the Company granted to Charles Lesser, the Companys Chief Financial Officer, Incentive stock options to purchase an aggregate of 660,000 shares of common stock, exercisable for a period of
five years at $0.75 per share, with 132,000 shares vesting on December 1, 2007 and 11,000 shares vesting monthly commencing January 1, 2008 through December 1, 2011. The fair value of this option, as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes

Share Purchase Agreements
In anticipation of the closing of the Exchange and Private Placements, additional compensatory transactions were entered into pursuant to various Share Purchase Agreements between Jacques Ninio, the controlling
shareholder of Panglobal at that time, and the Chief Executive Officer and certain other consultants. Since these transactions were intended to benefit the Company and were entered into by an affiliate of the Company, the Company has recorded these
transactions on its consolidated financial statements as follows:
On February 12, 2007, Stephen Soller, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, purchased 519,250 shares of common stock from two former founding shareholders of Mynk at a price of $0.325 per share. The fair value
of this transaction was determined to be in excess of the purchase price by $64,904 ($0.125 per share), reflecting the difference between the $0.325 purchase price and the $0.45 private placement price, and was charged to operations
on May 11, 2007.
On February 12, 2007, Stephen Soller, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, acquired the beneficial rights to 1,800,000 shares of common stock from Jacques Ninio, the controlling shareholder of Panglobal at that
time, at a price of $0.0001 per share. Pursuant to a related Escrow Agreement, the shares are to vest and be released to Mr. Soller at the rate of 600,000 shares every six months beginning on August 12, 2007, provided that Mr. Sollers
underlying employment agreement has not been terminated. The fair value of this transaction, as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined to be $810,000 ($0.45 per share), reflecting the difference between
the $0.0001 purchase price and the $0.45 private placement price, and is being charged to operations ratably from May 11, 2007 through August 11, 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company recorded a charge to operations
of $0.
On February 12, 2007, the fair value of the aforementioned share purchases was calculated using the following Black-Scholes input variables: stock price on date of grant - $0.45; exercise price - $0.0001;
expected life 1.25 years; expected volatility - 125%; expected dividend yield - 0%; risk-free interest rate 5.0% . On May 11, 2007, the fair value of the aforementioned share purchases was calculated using the following Black-Scholes
input variables: stock price of grant - $0.45; exercise price - $0.0001; expected life 3 years; expected volatility - 125%; expected dividend yield - 0%; risk-free interest rate 5.0% . At June 30, 2007, the fair value of the
aforementioned share purchase was calculated using the following Black-Scholes input variables: stock price of grant - $1.02; exercise price - $0.0001; expected life 2.875 years; expected volatility - 125%; expected dividend yield -
0%; risk-free interest rate 5.0% .
On May 11, 2007, Craig Soller and David Long, two consultants to the Company, acquired the beneficial rights to 125,000 shares and 100,000 shares of common stock, respectively, from Jacques Ninio, the controlling
shareholder of Panglobal at that time, at a price of $0.0001 per share. Pursuant to related Escrow Agreements, the 225,000 shares are to vest and be released to the consultants at the rate of 75,000 shares annually beginning on May 11, 2008,
provided that the underlying consulting agreements have not been terminated. The fair value of these transactions, as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was initially determined to be $101,250 ($0.45 per share),
reflecting the difference between the $0.0001 purchase price and the $0.45 private placement price. In accordance with EITF 96-18, such compensation arrangements granted to consultants are valued each reporting period to determine the amount
to be recorded as an expense in the respective period. On March 31, 2009, the fair value of the transaction, as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined to be $0.07 per share, which resulted in a charge to
operations of $729 during the three months ended March 31, 2009. As the restricted shares vest, they will be valued on each vesting date and an adjustment will be recorded for the difference between the value already recorded and the then
current value on the date of vesting. On October 31, 2007 the relationship of one of the consultants with the Company ended and the right to acquire 100,000 shares of common stock has ceased and previously calculated compensation related to this
right to acquire 100,000 shares of common stock in the amount of $14,116 had been reversed during the three months ended December 31, 2007. Accordingly, there will be no further non-cash compensation expenses charged relating to those 100,000
shares.
On October 31, 2007, David Long, as part of a settlement agreement, acquired the beneficial rights to acquire 20,000 shares of common stock from Jacques Ninio, a shareholder of Panglobal, at a price of $0.0001 per
share. The 20,000 shares are to vest immediately. The fair value of this transaction, as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined to be $20,000 ($1.00 per share), reflecting the difference between the
$0.0001
purchase price and the $1.00 fair market value on October 31,
2007 and the amount of $20,000 was charged to operations during the three months
ended December 31, 2007.
On October 23, 2007, Charles
Lesser, the Companys Chief Financial Officer, acquired the beneficial rights to
250,000 shares of common stock from Jacques Ninio, the controlling shareholder
of Panglobal at that time, at a price of $0.0001 per share. Pursuant to a
related Escrow Agreement, the shares are to vest and be released to Mr. Lesser
according to the following schedule: 100,000 shares on June 30, 2008 and 75,000
shares on December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009, provided that Mr. Lessers
underlying employment status has not been terminated. The fair value of this
transaction, as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model,
was determined to be $220,000 ($0.88 per share), reflecting the difference
between the $0.0001 purchase price and the fair market value of $0.88 on October
23, 2007, and is being charged to operations ratably from November 1, 2007
through June 30, 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company
recorded a charge to operations of $33,000. During the six months ended March
31, 2009, the Company recorded a charge to operations of $66,000.
4. Accounts Receivable
The Company also sells goods to
some of its customers and assumes the credit risk. The Company has a receivable
in dispute for which the Company has provided an estimated allowance for
doubtful accounts, however, future events may change that estimate. Accounts
receivable, as presented in the balance sheet at March 31, 2009 and September
30, 2008 is presented below:

Changes to the allowance for
doubtful debts were ($142,352) and $270 for the three months ended March 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively.
5. Due from Factor
The Company uses a factor for
credit administration and cash flow purposes. Under the factoring agreement, the
factor purchases a portion of the Companys domestic wholesale sales invoices
and assumes most of the credit risks with respect to such accounts for a charge
of 0.75% of the gross invoice amount. The Company can draw cash advances from
the factor based on a pre-determined percentage, which is 75% of eligible
outstanding accounts receivable. The factor holds as security substantially all
assets of the Company and charges interest at a rate of prime plus 1.0% on the
outstanding advances. Effective October 27, 2008, the interest charge was
increased to prime plus 2%. At March 31, 2008, the Company had cash account in
the amount of $400,000 with the factor to be used as collateral for the loans
advanced. On May 5, 2008 the cash collateral was reduced to $300,000. The
Company is liable to the factor for merchandise disputes and customer claims on
receivables sold to the factor. The factoring agreement expires on March 4,
2009, but automatically renews unless cancelled by either side.
At times, our customers place
orders that exceed the credit that they have available from the factor. We
evaluate those orders to consider if the customer is worthy of additional credit
based on our past experience with the customer. If we decide to sell merchandise
to the customer on credit, we take the credit risk for the amounts that are
above their approved credit limit with the factor. As of March 31, 2009, the
amount of Due from Factor for which we bear the credit risk is $74,351.
For the three months ended March
31, 2009 and 2008, the Company paid a total of approximately $63,374 and $4,928,
respectively, of interest to the factor which is reported as a component of
interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. For the six months
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company paid a total of approximately
$121,750 and $4,928, respectively, of interest to the factor which is reported
as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of income.

8. Asset Purchase
On June 18, 2008, the Company
purchased certain assets, including trademarks and office equipment, originally
belonging to a company in foreclosure directly from the financial institution
holding a security interest in the foreclosed assets. The Company obtained a

property and customer information which it purchased.
The Company purchased the
following assets:
|
(a)
|
certain computers, office equipment and
furniture;
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
all intangible property, trademarks (or rights or claims therein);
|
|
|
|
|
(c)
|
all open and unshipped orders relating to Scrapbook and
Crafty Couture apparel products, all customer lists, and information
regarding customer requirements and
specifications.
|
The Company paid $1,200,000 as
consideration for both the purchase of the purchased assets and the release of
all claims or rights to the two trademarks, Scrapbook and Crafty Couture.
The purchase price was allocated as follows:

adjustment needs to be made.
Employment of Kelly Kaneda
The Company subsequently hired
Kelly Kaneda, the originator of the Scrapbook label at a salary of $150,000 per
year for the first 12 months, increasing by $25,000 per year for each of three
additional years. In addition, Mr. Kaneda shall receive a commission of one and
one-half percent (1.5%) on the net sales of the Scrapbook Division. Net sales
shall be defined as gross sales less discounts, markdowns, returns, losses for
uncollected accounts, and other allowances actually taken by customers. Mr.
Kaneda has received a signing bonus of 200,000 shares of restricted common
stock. The fair value of this transaction, as calculated pursuant to the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined to be $128,000 ($0.64 per
share), and, as these shares are fully vested, was charged to operations at June
30, 2008.
In each of the first four (4)
years of Mr. Kanedas employment commencing June, 2008, upon attainment of
specified sales targets, he shall receive restricted common stock in the amounts

Company. See Note 3 for transactions involving Craig Soller.
Convertible Note Payable to Shareholders
On March 3, 2008 the Company
entered into a Revolving Loan Agreement with two of the shareholders of the
Company, Sinecure Holdings, Inc. and Capella Investments, Inc. The loan allows
the Company to borrow and repay, on a revolving basis, up to an outstanding
amount of $750,000. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan bears
interest, payable monthly, at a rate of 8% per annum. The loan is secured by a
lien on the assets of the Company, except for factored receivables.
The Loan was due to be repaid in
full by November 30, 2008. As consideration for the loan, the Company agreed to
pay 68,180 of its Common shares as loan fees. At March 31, 2008, $500,000 was
advanced and the Company recorded an expense of $25,000 included in operating
expenses equivalent to the issuance of 45,454 shares of the Companys common
stock at the fair market value of $0.55 per share, the closing price of the
Companys common shares on the first advance date of February 26, 2008. The
Company drew a further advance on April 10, 2008 and recorded an expense in
general and administrative expenses of $23,863 equivalent to the issuance of
22,726 shares of its common stock at the fair market value of $1.05, the closing
price of the Companys common stock on April 10, 2008.
At any time after August 31,
2008, if there was an outstanding amount on the Loan, the lenders may convert,
by written notice, either a portion or the total amount of the outstanding loan
to common shares of the Company at a price per share equal to the lesser of:
|
a)
|
the average closing bid for the five (5) trading days
immediately preceding the first advance date of February 26, 2008;
or,
|
|
|
|
|
b)
|
the average closing bid price for the five (5) trading
days immediately preceding the notice of intent to
convert.
|
At March 31, 2009 the Company had an outstanding balance of $750,000 on the loan. On April 9, the Company agreed to convert $375,000 plus accrued interest to April 30, 2009 into common shares of the Company at a new conversion arrangement which is a conversion price of $0.10 per share. In addition, the Company agreed to issue one warrant to purchase one Common share for every two shares to be issued at an exercise price of $0.25 per warrant exercisable for twelve months from issuance. The conversion is effective April 30, 2009 and the Company authorized the issuance of 4,025,000 shares of Common stock and 2,12,5000 warrants.
During the three months ended
March 31, 2009, the Company incurred $15,000 in interest expense on the Loan.
The balance of the loan has not been repaid to date and may be recalled or
converted into shares at any time.
Revolving Loan Agreement Payable to Shareholder
On January 16, 2009 the Company
entered into a revolving loan agreement with Providence Wealth Management Ltd, a
British Virgin Islands Company (Providence), whereby Providence agreed to loan
the Company the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 for general corporate
purposes. The loan is issued as follows:
|
(i)
|
The first advance of $700,000 on the date of execution of
the loan agreement;
|
|
|
|
|
(ii)
|
subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, by
advance of up to an additional $300,000; and bearing interest at 9% per
annum on the outstanding principal, and repayable on or before July 31,

January 27, 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company
incurred $17,433 in interest expense on the Loan.
On June 12, 2008 the Company had
entered into a revolving loan agreement dated effective March 3, 2008, with
Sinecure Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, and Capella
Investments Inc., a Nevada company, whereby Sinecure and Capella agreed to loan
us the aggregate principal amount of $750,000 for general corporate purposes,

a security interest by way of priority security interest in our present and
after-acquired personal property and such other collateral described in the
Security Agreement in favor of Sinecure and Capella. On January 16, 2009 we
entered into a pari passu agreement with Providence, Sinecure and Capella,
whereby Panglobal, Providence, Sinecure and Capella agree that all security
interests issued will have equal priority and that the creation, registration,
filing and existence of the security interests will not constitute an event of
default under either of the two security agreements.
In connection with the Providence
loan agreement, the Company entered into a security agreement dated to be
effective back to March 3, 2008, with Providence, whereby the Company agreed to
create a security interest by way of priority security interest in our present
and after-acquired personal property and other collateral described in the
security agreement in favor of Providence.
The Providence loan may be
converted at any time after the first advance and before the maturity date into
common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.10 per share. In
addition, the Company agreed to issue one warrant to purchase one Common share
for every two shares to be issued at an exercise price of $0.25 per warrant
exercisable for twelve months from issuance. On April 9, 2009, Providence
offered to convert $187,500 of the loan plus accrued interest to April 30, 2009
into common shares of the Company. The conversion is effective

The Company is periodically
subject to various pending and threatened legal actions that arise in the normal
course of business. The Companys management believes that the impact of any
such litigation will not have a material adverse impact on the Companys
financial position or results of operations. On September 19, 2008, Mynk
Corporation, our wholly-owned subsidiary, sued Delias Inc., a customer, in the
Superior Court of the State of California, for goods shipped, but unpaid, in the
amount of $604,081.
13. Income Taxes
Potential benefits of income tax
losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than
not. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes as of
its inception. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 the Company is required to compute tax
asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits
of net operating losses have not been recognized in these consolidated financial
statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it
will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
The deferred tax benefit is
composed of the following:

As of March 31, 2009 unused net
operating losses equal to $13,379,000 are available for 17 years to offset
future years federal and state taxable income. SFAS 109 requires that the tax
benefit of such NOLs be recorded using current tax rates as an asset to the
extent management assesses the utilization of such NOLs to be more likely than
not. Based upon the Company's short term historical operating performance, the
Company provided a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF
OPERATION.
The following discussion should
be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and
the related notes for quarter ended March 31, 2009 and the factors that could
affect our future financial condition and results of operations. Historical
results may not be indicative of future performance.
Corporate Overview and History
We were incorporated on March 2,
2005, under the laws of the State of Delaware, under the name EZ English Online
Inc. Since incorporation, we were engaged in the development of an online
teacher training course to teach English as a second language.
On July 3, 2006, our common stock
was approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board.
On February 2, 2007, we affected
a forward stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding shares on a
six-for-one basis. The forward split resulted in the increase of our authorized
capital from 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 to
600,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001.
On February 2, 2007, we completed
a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary Panglobal Brands Inc. As a result, we
changed our name from EZ English Online Inc. to Panglobal Brands Inc. Our
subsidiary was incorporated on January 22, 2007, specifically for the purpose of
the merger. The six-for-one forward stock split, merger and name change became
effective with our listing on NASDAQs OTC Bulletin Board on February 6, 2007
and our trading symbol was changed to PNGB.
On May 11, 2007, we acquired all
of the issued and outstanding shares of Mynk Corporation. Mynk is now our
wholly-owned, operating subsidiary. With the acquisition of Mynk, we changed our
business focus to that of our newly acquired subsidiary and are now engaged in
the business of the design, production and sale of clothing and accessories. We
intend to acquire and create brands for the contemporary apparel market in the
U.S. and international markets.
Our Current Business
Business Strategy
Our strategy is to build a series
of apparel brands, consisting of mainly womens apparel, and to build brand
recognition by marketing our products to fashion conscious, affluent consumers
who shop in high-end boutiques and department stores and who want to wear and be
seen in the latest and most fashionable clothing and accessories. We plan to
update our product offerings continually to be seen as a trend setter in
fashionable clothing and accessories. We also are targeting the junior market
and design, have manufactured and sell junior denim, t-shirts, dresses and other
apparel. Lastly, based upon our branded products, we expect to be offered the
opportunity to manufacture private label womens apparel including dresses,
skirts and knit and woven tops.
We operate all of our apparel
businesses through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Mynk Corporation.
Our divisions are aggregated into
three major consumer market product groupings: -Sosik, Scrapbook and
Contemporary. The major consumer divisions are as follows:
SOSIK-Sosik designs, merchandises
and sells junior t-shirts, dresses, skirts and knit and woven tops and other
apparel manufactured in Asia. Junior apparel includes clothing for girls ages
14-22 as well as products for children ages 6-14. Sales of Sosik, including
products that will be sold under private labels for junior products commenced in
October, 2007 and shipments commenced in January 2008. Approximately 70% of our
revenue for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 and 53% for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 related to Sosik and and private label junior
products. Customers include Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, Wet Seal, Ross, J.C.
Penney, and Burlington Coat Factory.
24
SCRAPBOOK-Scrapbook and Crafty
Couture trademarks were acquired June 18, 2008. The Scrapbook label is aimed at
junior (teen and early 20s) higher-end contemporary markets and is known for
its mix and match prints and comfortable knit fabrics. Scrapbook products can be
found at better department stores and boutiques. Major customers include
Nordstroms, Dillards, Macys, Anthropologie, Top Shop (in London, UK), Forever
21 and Hot Topic. We have employed Kelly Kaneda, founder of the brand, to be the
new president of the Scrapbook division of Panglobal Brands, Inc. Crafty Couture
is less fashionable and aimed at a younger market, early through late teens.
The following four divisions have
been consolidated into the Contemporary Group.
TEA AND HONEY-Tea and Honey designs,
merchandises and sells womens mid-priced contemporary dresses. Tea and Honey is
a more casual look for women ages 22-35 with a vintage feel easily convertible
for wear by the working woman by day and for evening wear, as well. Tea and
Honey products commenced sales in June 2008 and will be manufactured in Asia.
Retail customers include Federated department store chains, Anthropologie and
boutiques. Competition includes Velvet, Ella Moss and A Common Thread.
HAVEN and PRIVATE LABEL - Based upon
our branded products, we started offering Haven lower priced dresses with
success and are beginning to be offered the opportunity by major department
stores to design, merchandise and manufacture private label womens apparel
including dresses, skirts and knit and woven tops. Our Haven shipments commenced
July, 2008 and include customers such as Nordsrom, Macys and Dillards.
HAUTEUR MYNK-Hauteur Mynk is a
trademarked brand name selling premium denim jeans, skirts, dresses and shorts.
Mynk had sales during the fiscal year, but is currently dormant and only accepts
orders on current inventory. The Company decided that the premium denim market
was saturated with brands and decided to place Hauteur Mynk on hold.
We anticipate no significant
change in our products lines or new apparel industry divisions during the fiscal
year to end on September 30, 2009. In all of our divisions, we purchase finished
goods from numerous contract manufacturers and to a lesser extent raw materials
directly from numerous textile mills and yarn producers and converters. We have
not experienced difficulty in obtaining finished goods or raw materials
essential to our business in any of our apparel business divisions.
We outsource our warehousing and
shipping functions to a third party warehousing company designed to ship apparel
products for multiple companies.
We maintain a company website at
www.panglobalbrand.com where examples of our products can be seen.
Consulting Agreement for Sosik Division
On August 20, 2007 we signed a
consulting agreement with Lolly Factory, Inc. and its sole shareholder
(Consultant) to provide sales and merchandising consulting services for the
Sosik and Juniors apparel divisions through December 31, 2010. Consulting fees
totaling $452,125 were payable between September 2007 and June 2008 and have
been fully paid at September 30, 2008. In addition, under the consulting
agreement, as amended, the Consultant shall earn a 3.15% commission on the
Sosik/Junior divisions net sales. We recorded sales commission expense of
$62,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Consultant also earned
100,000 of our common shares payable each month from September, 2007 to June,
2008, up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 common shares.
We and the Consultant established
sales targets totaling $30.0 million for calendar year 2008, $45.0 million for
calendar year 2009 and $60.0 million for calendar year 2010. The Consultant can
earn up to 1,500,000 additional common shares of Panglobal Brands Inc. according
to the following schedule:
|
(i)
|
500,000 shares upon meeting the sales target for calendar
year 2008;
|
|
|
|
|
(ii)
|
500,000 shares upon meeting the sales target for calendar
year 2009; and,
|
|
|
|
|
(iii)
|
500,000 shares upon meeting the sales target for calendar
year 2010.
|
25
The sales target for calendar
year 2008 was not met, and, we did not accrued an expense for shares payable to
the Consultant for that year. At March 31, 2009 we have not accrued an expense
for shares payable for meeting the sales target for 2009.
Manufacturing
We outsource all of our
manufacturing to third parties on an order-by-order basis. These contract
manufacturers are found in Asia, Mexico and the United States and they will
manufacture our garments on an order-by-order basis. We believe that we will be
able to meet our production needs in this way. Although the various fabrics that
we intend to use in the manufacture of our products will be of the high quality,
they are available from many suppliers in the United States and abroad.
Employees
As of May 15, 2009, we have 43
full-time employees: two (2) are executive, seven (7) are design staff, thirteen
(13) are production staff, eleven (11) are sewing staff, four (4) are sales
staff, four (4) are customer service and shipping staff and two (2) are
accounting/administration staff. None of our employees are subject to a
collective bargaining agreement, and we believe that our relations with our
employees are good.
Quality Control
We intend to establish a quality
control program to ensure that our products meet our high quality standards. We
intend to monitor the quality of our fabrics prior to the production of garments
and inspect prototypes of each product before production runs commence. We also
plan to perform random on-site quality control checks during and after
production before the garments leave the contractor. We also plan to conduct
final random inspections when the garments are received in our distribution
centers. We believe that our policy of inspecting our products at our
distribution centers and at the vendors facilities will be important to
maintain the quality, consistency and reputation of our products.
Competition
The apparel industry is intensely
competitive and fragmented. We compete against other small companies like ours,
as well as large companies that have a similar business and large marketing
companies, importers and distributors that sell products similar to or
competitive with ours.
We believe that our competitive
strengths consist of the detailing of the design, the quality of the fabric and
the superiority of the fit.
Government Regulation and Supervision
Our operations are subject to the
effects of international treaties and regulations such as the North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). We are also subject to the effects of
international trade agreements and embargoes by entities such as the World Trade
Organization. Generally, these international trade agreements benefit our
business rather than burden it because they tend to reduce trade quotas, duties,
taxes and similar impositions. However, these trade agreements may also impose
restrictions that could have an adverse impact on our business, by limiting the
countries from whom we can purchase our fabric or other component materials, or
limiting the countries where we might market and sell our products.
Labelling and advertising of our
products is subject to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission. We believe
that we are in compliance with these regulations.
Information Systems
We believe that high levels of
automation and technology are essential to maintain our competitive position and
support our strategic objectives and we plan to invest in computer hardware,
system applications and networks to provide increased efficiencies and enhanced
controls.
26
Trademarks
We own numerous trademarks for
all of our brands including Sosik, Scrapbook, Crafty Couture, Tea and Honey,
Haven, Nela and Hauteur Mynk and have applications pending for the balance of
our branded apparel products.
Marketing
We market our products directly
through our sales staff as well as through showrooms which carry multiple lines
of apparel products. In addition we attend industry trade shows.

The decrease in our working
capital of $1,016,744 is primarily due to a loan payable to shareholders of

On October 23, 2007, we closed a
private placement of 2,871,759 units for gross proceeds of $2,153,819. Each unit
was sold for $0.75 and consists of one common share and one common share
purchase warrant. Each common share purchase warrant entitles the holder to
purchase, if exercised, one additional common share of our company at a price of
$1.00 per common share until October 23, 2008 and at $1.50 per common share if
exercised during the period from October 24, 2008 until the warrants expire on
October 23, 2009.
On March 3, 2008, we entered into
a Revolving Loan Agreement with two of our shareholders. The loan allows us to
borrow and repay, on a revolving basis, up to an outstanding amount of $750,000.
The outstanding principal balance of the Loan bears interest, payable monthly,
at a rate of 8% per annum. The Loan was due to be repaid in full by November 30,
2008. At March 31, 2009, we had an outstanding balance of $750,000 on the loan
which may be called or converted into shares at any time. On April 9, 2009 we
agreed to convert $375,000 plus accrued interest to April 30, 2009 into our
common stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share. In addition, we agreed to
issue one warrant to purchase one Common share for every two shares to be issued
at an exercise price of $0.25 per warrant exercisable for twelve months. The
conversion is effective April 30, 2009 and we authorized the issuance of
4,025,000 shares of Common stock and 2,12,5000 warrants.
We raised $4,000,000 in a private
placement selling 8,000,000 of its common shares at a price of $0.50 per share
which officially closed on July 10, 2008; but is reflected at June 30, 2008 as
cash had been received by the Company at quarter-end. We issued 560,000 shares
pursuant to the exemption from registration under the United States Securities
Act of 1933 provided by Section 4(2), Section 4(6) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation
D promulgated under the 1933 Act to four (4) investors who are accredited
investors within the respective meanings ascribed to that term in Rule 501(a)
under the 1933 Act. We issued 7,440,000 shares to eighteen (18) non U.S. persons
(as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933) in an
offshore transaction relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933.
On January 16, 2009 we entered
into a revolving loan agreement with Providence Wealth Management Ltd, a British
Virgin Islands company, whereby Providence agreed to loan us the aggregate
principal amount of US$1,000,000 for general corporate purposes. The first
advance of $700,000 occurred on January 16, 2009 and a second advance of
$300,000 occurred on January 27, 2009.
The loan may be converted at any
time after the first advance and before the maturity date into our companys
shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share. In addition, we
agreed to issue one warrant to purchase one Common share for every two shares to
be issued at an exercise price of $0.25 per warrant exercisable for twelve
months. On April 9, the borrower offered to convert $187,500 of the loan plus
accrued interest to April 30, 2009 into our common shares. The conversion is
effective April 30, 2009 and we authorized the issuance of 2,124,330 shares of
Common stock and 1,062,165 warrants.
There are no assurances that we
will earn the funds required for our continued operation. If we do not earn the
required revenues, then we will have to seek another source of financing, likely
through the sale of more shares of our common stock or borrowing money. There
can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us
28
when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on
commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional
financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations
as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the
operation of our business.
There is substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business
is dependent upon a combination of our ability to obtain further long-term
financing, the successful and sufficient market acceptance of any product
offerings that we may introduce, the continuing successful development of our
product offerings, and, finally, our ability to achieve a profitable level of
operations. At this time, we have a backlog for shipments of our products
extending through September 2009. The issuance of additional equity securities
by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our
current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be
available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

Off Balance-Sheet Arrangements
We use a factor for credit
administration and cash flow purposes. Under the factoring agreement, the factor
purchases a portion of our domestic wholesale sales invoices and assumes most of
the credit risks with respect to such accounts for a charge of 0.75% of the
gross invoice amount. We can draw cash advances from the factor based on a
pre-determined percentage, which is 75% of eligible outstanding accounts
receivable. The factor holds as
31
security substantially all our assets and charges interest at a
rate of prime plus 1.0% on the outstanding advances. Effective October 27, 2008,
the interest charge was increased to prime plus 2%. At March 31, 2008, we had
cash account in the amount of $400,000 with the factor to be used as collateral
for the loans advanced. On May 5, 2008 the cash collateral was reduced to
$300,000. We are- liable to the factor for merchandise disputes and customer
claims on receivables sold to the factor. The factoring agreement expires on
March 4, 2009, but automatically renews unless cancelled by either side.
At times, our customers place
orders that exceed the credit that they have available from the factor. We
evaluate those orders to consider if the customer is worthy of additional credit
based on our past experience with the customer. If we decide to sell merchandise
to the customer on credit, we take the credit risk for the amounts that are
above their approved credit limit with the factor. As of March 31, 2009, the
amount of Due from Factor for which we bear the credit risk is $74,351.
For the three months ended March
31, 2009 and 2008, we paid a total of approximately $63,374 and $4,928,
respectively, of interest to the factor which is reported as a component of
interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. For the six months
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we paid a total of approximately $121,750 and
$4,928, respectively, of interest to the factor which is reported as a component
of interest expense in the consolidated statements of income.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles used in the United States. Preparing financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates
and assumptions are affected by managements application of accounting policies.
We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and
assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated financial
statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.
Inventory is valued at the lower
of cost or market, cost being determined by the first-in, first-out method. We
continually evaluate our inventories by assessing slow moving current product as
well as prior seasons inventory. Market value of non-current inventory is
estimated based on historical sales trends for each category of inventory of our
companys individual product lines, the impact of market trends, an evaluation
of economic conditions and the value of current orders relating to the future
sales of this type of inventory.
Revenue from product sales is
recognized as title passes to the customer upon shipment. Sales returns and
allowances for the three months ended March 31, 2009 totaled $740,933,
approximately 14.3% of sales which included a write-off of receivables from
Mervyns Inc., in bankruptcy. We have accrued an additional $333,000 as of March
31, 2009 for estimated chargebacks and sales returns.
Accounts Receivable
The Company extends credit to
customers whose sales invoices have not been sold to our factor based upon an
evaluation of the customers financial condition and credit history and
generally require no collateral. Management
32
performs regular evaluations concerning the ability of our
customers to satisfy their obligations and records a provision for doubtful
accounts based on these evaluations. Based on historical losses, existing
economic conditions and collection practices, our allowance for doubtful
accounts has been estimated to be $400,232 at March 31, 2009. The Companys
credit losses for the periods presented have not significantly exceeded
managements estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risks
During the three months ended
March 31, 2009 sales to three customers accounted for 15.5%, 14.5% and 11.1% of
our net sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, purchases from one
supplier totaled approximately $2,241,629. At March 31, 2009, one customer
accounted for 61% of the Accounts Receivable, net of allowance. At March 31,
2009, three customers accounted for 21%, 16%, and 15%, respectively, of the Due
From Factor.
Inventory
Inventories are valued at the
lower of cost or market, with cost being determined by the first-in, first-out
method. The Company continually evaluates its inventories by assessing
slow-moving product and records mark-downs as appropriate. At March 31, 2009,
inventories consisted of finished goods, work-in-process and raw materials.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are
recorded at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements that extend
the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for
maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are
retired or sold, the property accounts and related accumulated depreciation and
amortization accounts are relieved, and any resulting gain or loss is included
in operations.
Depreciation is computed on the
straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets of five
years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the remaining life of the
related lease, which has been determined to be shorter than the useful life of
the asset.
Stock-Based Compensation
Effective February 3, 2006, we
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R), a revision to SFAS No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123R requires that we measure the cost
of employee services received in exchange for equity awards based on the grant
date fair value of the awards, with the cost to be recognized as compensation
expense in our financial statements over the period of benefit, which is
generally the vesting period of the awards. Accordingly, we recognize
compensation cost for equity-based compensation for all new or modified grants
issued after February 3, 2006 (Inception).
The Company accounts for stock
option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with
EITF No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than
Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, and
EITF 00-18, Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity
Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees, whereas the value of the stock
compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either (a) the
date at which a performance commitment is reached or (b) at the date at which
the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS No. 157), which establishes a formal framework for
measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No.
157 defines and codifies the many definitions of fair value included among
various other authoritative literature, clarifies and, in some instances,
expands on the guidance for
33
implementing fair value measurements, and increases the level
of disclosure required for fair value measurements. Although SFAS No. 157
applies to and amends the provisions of existing FASB and AICPA pronouncements,
it does not, of itself, require any new fair value measurements, nor does it
establish valuation standards. SFAS No. 157 applies to all other accounting
pronouncements requiring or permitting fair value measurements, except for: SFAS
No. 123R, share-based payment and related pronouncements, the practicability
exceptions to fair value determinations allowed by various other authoritative
pronouncements, and AICPA Statements of Position 97-2 and 98-9 that deal with
software revenue recognition. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on October 1, 2008
The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Companys
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159), which provides
companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at
fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to reduce both complexity in
accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by
measuring related assets and liabilities differently. Generally accepted
accounting principles have required different measurement attributes for
different assets and liabilities that can create artificial volatility in
earnings. SFAS No. 159 helps to mitigate this type of accounting-induced
volatility by enabling companies to report related assets and liabilities at
fair value, which would likely reduce the need for companies to comply with
detailed rules for hedge accounting. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation
and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies
that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and
liabilities. SFAS No. 159 requires companies to provide additional information
that will help investors and other users of financial statements to more easily
understand the effect of the companys choice to use fair value on its earnings.
SFAS No. 159 also requires companies to display the fair value of those assets
and liabilities for which the company has chosen to use fair value on the face
of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements
included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures
about fair value measurements included in SFAS No. 157 and SFAS No. 107. SFAS
No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of a companys first fiscal year
beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the
beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the company makes that
choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the
provisions of SFAS No. 157. The Company is currently assessing the potential
effect of SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial statements and has not
elected to adopt SFAS 159 at this time. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on
October 1, 2008 The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on
the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 141(revised 2007),
Business Combinations
, and SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements
. SFAS No.
141R improves reporting by creating greater consistency in the accounting and
financial reporting of business combinations, resulting in more complete,
comparable, and relevant information for investors and other users of financial
statements. SFAS No. 141R requires the acquiring entity in a business
combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the
measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and
requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the
information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect
of the business combination. SFAS No. 160 improves the relevance, comparability,
and transparency of financial information provided to investors by requiring all
entities to report non-controlling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the
same wayas equity in the consolidated financial statements. Moreover, SFAS No.
160 eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting for
transactions between an entity and non-controlling interests by requiring they
be treated as equity transactions. The two statements are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008 and management is currently evaluating
the impact that the adoption of these statements may have on our consolidated
financial statements.
In March 2008, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB No. 133, (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 is
intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced
disclosures of an entitys derivative instruments and hedging activities and
their effects on the entitys financial position, financial performance, and
cash flows. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,
(SFAS 133). SFAS 161 also applies to non-derivative hedging instruments and
all hedged items designated and qualifying under SFAS 133.
34
SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. SFAS 161 encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for periods prior to its initial adoption. We adopted SFAS 161 on November 15, 2008 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. FSP 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of FSP 142-3 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
As a result of the recent credit crisis, on October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That is Not Active.” This FSP clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active. The FSP addresses how management should consider measuring fair value when relevant observable date does not exist. The FSP also provides guidance on how observable market information in a market that is not active should be considered when measuring fair value, as well as how the use of market quotes should be considered when assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable data available to measure fair value. This FSP is effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. Revisions resulting from a change in the valuation technique or its application shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate in accordance with SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” Adoption of this standard had no effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
Management does not believe that
any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if
currently adopted, would have a material effect on our consolidated financial
statements.
Adoption of New Accounting Policies
Effective January 1, 2007, we
adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,
an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN
48). FIN 48 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or
expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial
statements. Under FIN 48, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax
position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be
sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical
merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements
from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a
greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification,
interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and
requires increased disclosures. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 did not
have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. As of September
30, 2008, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be
recorded.
We currently files or has in the
past filed income tax returns in Canada and the United States. We are subject to
tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years ending in 2006 and
subsequently.
Our policy is to record interest
and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of March 31,
2009 , we have not accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax
positions.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls
and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commissions rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and
procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply
its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls
and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide
reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their
objectives.
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management found the following deficiency in our disclosure controls and procedures:
There is not adequate division or segregation of duties in our accounting department that has three staff members, which includes the Chief Financial Officer; and,
To compensate for the inadequate
segregation of duties, we have instituted a system of sign-offs and checks and
balances within the accounting department. Further, we are in the process of
implementing a series of closing procedures and checklists which must be
signed-off and verified.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our
internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal controls over financial reporting.
Certifications
Certifications with respect to
disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting
under Rules 13a-14(a) or 15d-14(a) of the Exchange Act are attached to this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
PART II-OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Other than as described below, we
know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company,
nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending
litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or
affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or
has a material interest adverse to our interest. The outcome of open unresolved
legal proceedings is presently indeterminable. Any settlement resulting from
resolution of these contingencies will be accounted for in the period of
settlement. We do not believe the potential outcome from these legal proceedings
will significantly impact our financial position, operations or cash flows.
On September 19, 2008 Mynk
Corporation, our wholly-owned subsidiary, sued Delias Inc., a customer in the
Superior Court of the State of California, for goods shipped, but unpaid, in the
amount of $604,081.
Elk Brands Manufacturing Company,
Inc. was suing Mynk Corporation, our wholly-owned subsidiary, for an alleged
payment owing of approximately $70,800, which amount was previously accrued and
is included in
36
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. The claim has now been
settled on February 2, 2009, with Mynk agreeing to pay $40,000 to Elk Brands in
four monthly payments of $10,000 each commencing February 28, 2009 and ending
May 31, 2009.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to our Business
Our continued operations depend on current fashion trends.
If our products and designs are not considered fashionable or desirable by
enough consumers, then our business could be adversely affected.
The acceptance by consumers of
our products and design is important to our success and competitive position,
and the inability to continue to develop and offer fashionable and desirable
products to consumers could harm our business. We cannot be certain that our
high-fashion clothing and accessories will be considered fashionable and
desirable by enough consumers to make our operations profitable. There are no
assurances that our future designs will be successful, and any unsuccessful
designs could adversely affect our business. If we are unable to respond to
changing consumer demands in a timely and appropriate manner, we may fail to
establish or maintain our brand name and brand image. Even if we react
appropriately to changes in consumer preferences, consumers may consider our
brand image to be outdated or associate our brand with styles that are no longer
popular. Should trends veer away from our style of products and designs, our
business could be adversely affected.
We may be unable to achieve or sustain growth or manage our
future growth, which may have a material adverse effect on our future operating
results.
We cannot provide any assurances
that our business plan will be successful and that we will achieve profitable
operations. Our future success will depend upon various factors, including the
strength of our brand image, the market success of our current and future
products, competitive conditions and our ability to manage increased revenues,
if any, or implement our growth strategy. In addition, we anticipate
significantly expanding our infrastructure and adding personnel in connection
with our anticipated growth, which we expect will cause our selling, general and
administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars and which may cause our
selling, general and administrative expenses to increase as a percentage of
revenue. Because these expenses are generally fixed, particularly in the
short-term, operating results may be adversely impacted if we do not achieve our
anticipated growth.
Future growth may place a
significant strain on our management and operations. If we experience growth in
our operations, our operational, administrative, financial and legal procedures
and controls may need to be expanded. As a result, we may need to train and
manage an increasing number of employees, which could distract our management
team from our business. Our future success will depend substantially on the
ability of our management team to manage our anticipated growth. If we are
unable to anticipate or manage our growth effectively, our operating results
could be adversely affected.
We face intense competition, including competition from
companies with significantly greater resources than ours, and if we are unable
to compete effectively with these companies, our business could be harmed.
We face intense competition in
the apparel industry from other, more established companies. A number of our
competitors have significantly greater financial, technological, engineering,
manufacturing, marketing and distribution resources than we do. Their greater
capabilities in these areas may enable them to better withstand periodic
downturns in the apparel industry, compete more effectively on the basis of
price and production and to develop new products in less time. In addition, new
companies may enter the markets in which we compete, further increasing
competition in the apparel industry.
We believe that our ability to
compete successfully depends on a number of factors, including the style and
quality of our products and the strength of our brand name, as well as many
factors beyond our control. We may not be able to compete successfully in the
future, and increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced profit
margins, loss of market share and an inability to generate cash flows that are
sufficient to maintain or expand our development and marketing of new products,
which would adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.
37
Our business could suffer if our manufacturers do not meet
our demand or delivery schedules.
Although we design and market our
products, we outsource manufacturing to third party manufacturers. Outsourcing
the manufacturing component of our business is common in the apparel industry
and we compete with other companies for the production capacity of our
manufacturers. Because we are a small enterprise and many of the companies with
which we compete have greater financial and other resources than we have, they
may have an advantage in the competition for production capacity. There is no
assurance that the manufacturing capacity we require will be available to us, or
that if available it will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. If we
cannot produce a sufficient quantity of our products to meet demand or delivery
schedules, our customers might reduce demand, reduce the purchase price they are
willing to pay for our products or replace our product with the product of a
competitor, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and operations.
Government regulation and supervision could restrict our
business and decrease our profitability.
Any negative changes to
international trade agreements and regulations such as the North American Free
Trade Agreement or any agreements affecting international trade such as those
made by the World Trade Organization which result in a rise in trade quotas,
duties, taxes and similar impositions or which has the result of limiting the
countries from whom we can purchase our fabric or other component materials, or
limiting the countries where we might market and sell our products, could
decrease our profitability.
Increases in the price of raw materials or their reduced
availability could increase our cost of sales and decrease our profitability.
The principal fabrics used in our
business are cotton, synthetics, wools and blends. The prices we pay for these
fabrics are dependent on the market price for raw materials used to produce
them, primarily cotton. The price and availability of cotton may fluctuate
significantly, depending on a variety of factors, including crop yields,
weather, supply conditions, government regulation, economic climate and other
unpredictable factors. Any raw material price increases could increase our cost
of sales and decrease our profitability unless we are able to pass higher prices
on to our customers. Moreover, any decrease in the availability of cotton could
impair our ability to meet our production requirements in a timely manner.
If we are unable to enforce our intellectual property rights
or otherwise protect our intellectual property, then our business would likely
suffer.
Our success depends to a
significant degree upon our ability to protect and preserve any intellectual
property we develop or acquire, including copyrights, trademarks, patents,
service marks, trade dress, trade secrets and similar intellectual property. We
rely on the intellectual property, patent, trademark and copyright laws of the
United States and other countries to protect our proprietary rights. However, we
may be unable to prevent third parties from using our intellectual property
without our authorization, particularly in those countries where the laws do not
protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. The use of our
intellectual property or similar intellectual property by others could reduce or
eliminate any competitive advantage we may develop, causing us to lose sales or
otherwise harm our business. We may need to bring legal claims to enforce or
protect such intellectual property rights. Any litigation, whether successful or
unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversions of resources. In
addition, notwithstanding the rights we have secured in our intellectual
property, other persons may bring claims against us that we have infringed on
their intellectual property rights or claims that our intellectual property
right interests are not valid. Any claims against us, with or without merit,
could be time consuming and costly to defend or litigate and therefore could
have an adverse affect on our business. If any of these risks arise, our
business would likely suffer.
The recent weakening of economic conditions in the U.S. and
around the world could have harmful effects on our business. If these harmful
effects cause us to scale down our operations, then our share price will likely
decrease. If these harmful effects cause us to cease our operations, then our
shareholders will likely lose their entire investment in our company.
The recent weakening of economic
conditions in the U.S. and around the world, including in the financial services
and real estate industries, could have harmful effects on our business.
Weakening economic conditions generally lead to less money being spent on
clothing across the industry as a whole. Competition for these limited
38
resources will likely become more intense. If consumers spend
less and do not choose to spend their limited funds on our clothes, we will earn
less revenue and we will not be able to fund our future operations through
revenues from sales.
If we cannot fund all of our
future operations through revenue, we may choose to raise money through sales of
our equity securities. However, many investors have recently seen large
decreases in the value of various investments due to declining share prices
across many economic sectors. Because of this and other market factors, if we
choose to raise funds through the sale of our equity securities, potential
investors may be less likely to buy our equity securities or we may be need to
sell our equity securities at low prices, resulting in fewer proceeds. This
would make it difficult for us to raise adequate amounts to fund our operations
through the sale of our equity securities.
If we are unable to fund all of
our operations through revenues or the sale of our equity securities, then we
may choose to borrow money to pay for some of our operations. A tightening of
credit conditions has also been experienced in the economy recently. Because of
the recent credit crisis, it is possible that we would not be able to borrow
adequate amounts to fund our operations on terms and at rates of interest we
find acceptable and in the best interests of our company.
If we cannot fund our planned
operations from revenue, the sale of our equity securities or through incurring
debt on acceptable terms, then we will likely have to scale down or cease our
operations. If we scale down our operations, our share price would likely
decrease and if we cease our operations, shareholders will likely lose their
entire investment in our company.
The recent weakening of economic conditions in the U.S. and
around the world could have harmful effects on the operations of our customers
and suppliers and the confidence of end consumers, all of which could cause our
operations to suffer and our revenues to decrease.
Some of our customers or
suppliers could experience serious cash flow problems due to the current
economic situation. If our customers or suppliers attempt increase their prices,
pass through increased costs, alter payment terms or seek other relief, our
business may suffer from decreased sales to final consumers or increased costs
to us. If any of our vendors or suppliers go out of business, we may not be able
to replace them with other companies of the same quality and level of service.
If the quality of our products and promptness of delivery deteriorates as a
result, our revenue will likely decrease as retailers and consumers would be
less likely to choose our products out of those available to them.
We do not expect that the
difficult economic conditions are likely to improve significantly in the near
future, and further deterioration of the economy, and even consumer fear that
the economy will deteriorate further, could intensify the adverse effects of
these difficult market conditions.
We have a high concentration of sales to a number of key
department stores across all of our divisions. Loss of one of these key
customers would take time to replace and have a short term adverse impact on our
results of operations.
During the three months ended
March 31, 2009 sales to three customers accounted for 15.5%, 14.5% and 11.1% of
our net sales. The acceptance by consumers of our products and design is
important to our success and competitive position, and the loss of one of these
key customers would have a short-term adverse impact on our results from
operations.
Risks Related to Our Company
We lack an operating history and have losses which we expect
to continue into the future. We have incurred a loss from operations and
negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance our future
operations will result in profitable revenues. If we cannot generate sufficient
revenues to operate profitably, we may suspend or cease operations.
Our inception date was February
3, 2006. We have a very short operating history upon which an evaluation of our
future success or failure cannot be made. As of March 31, 2009, our accumulated
losses since inception amount to $16,284,766. In its audit report dated January
8, 2009, our auditors stated that we have incurred a loss from
39
operations and negative cash flows from operations which raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We will continue to incur
expenses and may incur operating losses in the future. We cannot guarantee that
we will be successful in becoming or remaining profitable in the future. Failure
to become and remain profitable would cause us to go out of business.
Our Controls and Procedures are not effective, which could cause us to make inaccurate or late filings and for public trading of our shares to cease.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective. Without effective disclosure controls and other procedures, the information that is required to be disclosed in our company's reports filed with the SEC may not be recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. If we fail to file our required filings in an accurate and timely manner, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) may determine that our company no longer meets the listing requirements for the OTC Bulletin Board and remove our company from the OTC Bulletin Board quotations. If this happens, then market makers would no longer be able to enter quotations for our common shares through the OTC Bulletin Board and shareholders would likely be unable to sell their shares in the common stock of our company. This would cause them to lose their entire investment in our company.
Risks Related to Our Securities
Our stock price is highly volatile and stockholders may be
unable to sell their shares, or may be forced to sell them at a loss.
The trading price of our common
stock has fluctuated significantly since our incorporation (March 2, 2005), and
is likely to remain volatile in the future. The trading price of our common
stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many events or
factors, including the following:
-
quarterly variations in our operating results;
-
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;
-
changes in market valuations or financial results of apparel companies;
-
announcements by us or our competitors of new products, or significant
acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures;
-
any deviation from projected growth rates in revenues;
-
any loss of a major customer or a major customer order;
-
additions or departures of key management or design personnel;
-
any deviations in our net revenue or in losses from levels expected by
securities analysts;
-
activities of short sellers and risk arbitrageurs; and,
-
future sales of our common stock.
The equity markets have, on
occasion, experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have
affected the market prices for many companies' securities and that have often
been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. Any such
fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock,
regardless of our actual operating performance. As a result, stockholders may be
unable to sell their shares, or may be forced to sell them at a loss.
40
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission imposes
additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in our shares which
are penny stocks, some brokers may be unwilling to trade them. This means that
you may have difficulty reselling your shares and this may cause the price of
the shares to decline.
Our shares are classified as
penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and the Rules which impose additional sales practice requirements on
brokers/dealers who sell our securities in this offering or in the aftermarket.
For sales of our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability
determination and receive from you a written agreement prior to making a sale
for you. Because of the imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices,
it is possible that brokers will not want to make a market in our shares. This
could prevent you from reselling your shares and may cause the price of the
shares to decline.
We do not intend to pay dividends and there will be less
ways in which you can make a gain on any investment in our company.
We have never paid any cash
dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable
future. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided
for in our financing plan, our funding sources may likely prohibit the payment
of a dividend. Because we do not intend to declare dividends, any gain on an
investment in our company will need to come through appreciation of the stocks
price.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF
PROCEED
On February 6, 2009, we raised
$370,000 in a private placement selling 3,700,000 units consisting of 3,700,000
common shares at a price of $0.10 per share plus 1,850,000 warrants to purchase
common shares at a price of $0.25 per share. The warrants are exercisable for
twelve months.
We issued 3,700,000 shares to
four (4) non U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the
Securities Act of 1933) in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S
and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

exercise price of $0.25 per warrant exercisable for twelve months. The conversion is effective April 30, 2009 and we
authorized the issuance of 1,500,000 shares of Common stock and 750,000
warrants.
2. Change of registered public accounting firm
On January 8, 2009, Panglobal
Brands Inc. was notified that effective December 8, 2008, the personnel of
GrobsteinHorwath & Company LLP have joined with Crowe Horwath LLP (Crowe)
resulting in the resignation of Grobstein Horwath as independent registered
public accounting firm for our company. Crowe was appointed as our new
independent registered public accounting firm.
The audit reports of Grobstein
Horwath on the financial statements of our company as of and for the years ended
to September 30, 2007 and 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion or a
disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles. Grobstein Horwaths 2007 and 2006 audit
report relating to Grobstein Horwaths audit of our financial statements for the
fiscal years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 included an emphasis paragraph
relating to an uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
The decision to engage Crowe was
approved by our board of directors on January 8, 2009.
During our companys most two
recent fiscal years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and through January 8,
2009, we did not consult with Crowe on (i) the application of accounting
principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type
of audit opinion that may be rendered on our financial statements, and Crowe did
not provide either a written report or oral advice to us that was an important
factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing,
or financial reporting issue; or (ii) the subject of any disagreement, as
defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions,
or a reportable event within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K.
In connection with the audits of
our financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
and through the date of this current report, there were: (i) no disagreements
between our company and Grobstein Horwath on any matters of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Grobstein Horwath, would have caused Grobstein Horwath to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on our financial statements
for such years, and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning set forth in
Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
We have provided Grobstein
Horwath a copy of the disclosures in our Form 8-K and have requested that
Grobstein Horwath furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and
Exchange Commission stating whether or not Grobstein Horwath agrees with our
statements in this Item 4.01(a) . A copy of the letter dated January 30, 2009,
furnished by Grobstein Horwath in response to that request is filed as Exhibit
16.2 to our Form 8-K filed on February 4, 2009.
