Notes to CONSOLIDATED Financial Statements
Unaudited
1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION & ORGANIZATION |
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Lot78, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of the Company contained in Form 10-K filed with the SEC on January 21, 2014.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K have been omitted.
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Historically, sales of our products have been higher during the second and fourth quarters. As a result, our quarterly and annual operating results and comparable sales may fluctuate significantly as a result of seasonality. Accordingly, results for any one quarter or year are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other quarter or for any year, and comparable sales for any particular future period may decrease.
2. | GOING CONCERN |
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit since inception to June 30, 2014, of $2,704,498 which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company through debt and/or equity financing from third parties.
3. | FACTORING CREDIT FACILITY |
The Company as reported on 01/06/14 has a Purchase and Resale and a Recourse Factoring Agreement with Bibby Trade Services Ltd amounting to £600,000 ($998,220).
Under the terms of our factoring facility, the Company may obtain advances of up to 80 percent of eligible accounts receivable, subject to a 1.8 percent per fixed fee and a factors discount fee of 3.00% above the greater of LIBOR, the base rate quoted from time to time by Barclays Bank PLC (or its successors). The remainder of the twenty percent is held in a restricted cash reserve account, which is released to the Company upon payment of the receivable. Bibby has full recourse under the agreement to return any receivables for which funds have been advanced. As a result, the Company does not reduce its accounts receivable until Bibby has collected on the invoices that have been factored.
As at June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, amounts owed under the Recourse Factoring Facility were $93,468 and NIL, respectively.
6 |
4. | DEBT – RELATED PARTIES |
During the Nine months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received $277,486 from Cressida Investments LLC as a short term loan.
Short term loans from Cressida Investments LLC are unsecured and interest free.
Other differences in the loan values between September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2014 are due to foreign exchange translations.
Long-term loans from David Hardcastle are unsecured and are currently non-interest bearing. However, once the Company secures significant external financing, the long term loans begin accruing interest at bank rate plus 2% per annum and will be payable in quarterly installments over a 3 year period.
5. | CONVERTIBLE DEBT, DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES & FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
Convertible Debt – IIMG
Loans from Iceberg Investment Management Group (“IIMG”) are unsecured and accrue interest at a rate of 2.5% per annum. During the Nine months ended June 30, 2014, the Company repaid $41,018 to IIMG.
The balance payable to IIMG as at June 30, 2014, is $90,179. The notes were due on February 28, 2014 and April 30, 2014, however, pursuant to communication received from IIMG, it has been agreed that 10% of all future financing raised will be used to pay down the loans until all principal and accrued interest has been paid in full, unless the Company within its new debt arrangements has clauses which restricts it from paying down other debts.
At the option of IIMG, If the loans remain unpaid by the maturity date, all amounts are convertible into common stock of the Company at 80% of the Company’s volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) for the 5 previous days prior to execution of the promissory note.
As at June 30, 2014 $90,179 of the overall debt had been matured.
The Company has not received any communication from IIMG whether it wishes to activate the clause in converting this amount into common stock.
Convertible Debt – Embedded Derivatives
On August 30, 2013, the Company entered into an Unsecured Senior Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) with Banque Benedict Hentsch & Cie SA (“Banque Benedict”) for the principal sum of Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000) plus simple interest thereon at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Banque Benedict has the option at any time to convert the Note in whole into shares of the common stock of the Company at the conversion rate of $0.125 per share. Unless the Note is earlier converted, the total principal and unpaid interest is due on September 1, 2016.
On September 9, 2013, the Company entered into an Unsecured Senior Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) with Monument Assets & Resources Company Ltd (“Monument Assets”) for the principal sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) plus simple interest thereon at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Monument Assets has the option at any time to convert the Note in whole into shares of the common stock of the Company at the conversion rate of $0.125 per share. Unless the Note is earlier converted, the total principal and unpaid interest is due on September 1, 2016.
The above conversion notes contain a reset provision whereby the conversion price on the notes can be reduced based on future equity transactions of the Company. As a result, the conversion options were classified as derivative liabilities at their fair value on the date of issuance. The fair value of the derivative liabilities exceeded the principal amount of the notes, resulting in a full debt discount of $450,000, $338 of which has been amortized to interest expense to June 30, 2014.

As defined in FASB ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilized the market data of similar entities in its industry or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities. |
Level 2 – | Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. |
Level 3 – | Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. |
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as at June 30, 2014.

The following table summarizes the changes in the derivative liabilities during the period ended June 30, 2014:
Fair value as of October 1, 2013 | $ | 434,464 |
Change in fair value | 356,010 | |
Ending balance as of June 30, 2014 | $ | 78,454 |
The gain on derivative liabilities of $356,010 in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations consists of the change in fair value of $356,010 noted above.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative liability and subsequent re-measurements. Included in the model are the following assumptions: stock price at valuation date of $0.025, exercise price of $0.125, dividend yield of zero, years to maturity of 2.18, risk free rate of 0.09 – 0.8 percent, and annualized volatility of 253.27 – 373.55 percent.
6. | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
As of June 30, 2014, the Company owed an officer $58,065 for accounting and consultancy fees.
7. | EQUITY |
During the Nine months ended June, 2014, the Company issued 723,334 shares of common stock valued at $26,306 for services rendered.

8. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
In November 2012, Anio Limited (now named Lot 78 UK Limited) entered into a Consulting and Services Agreement with Iceberg Investments Management Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation. This document includes a provision that Lot78 UK Ltd would pay a success fee of USD$770,000 on the closing of any financing in the amount exceeding $3,000,000. The amount of the success fee purportedly payable reduces if the financing is less than $3,000,000. For these purposes, Iceberg has confirmed that no success fee would be payable if the financing is less than $1,450,000 and $500,000 whether by equity or loan raised from or introduced by Banque Benedict Hentsch & CIE SA is excluded. If Iceberg is not successful in obtaining financing for the Company within 18 months of a potential merger or transaction there are provisions that Lot78 UK Ltd provide a convertible promissory note.
The Company is taking legal advice on this document, the enforceability of its provisions and reserves its position as to whether such fees will be payable under or pursuant to this document.
9. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PLAN OF OPERATION
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) contains forward-looking
statements that involve known and unknown risks, significant uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance
or achievements expressed, or implied, by those forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements
by the use of the words may, will, should, could, expects, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, intends, potential,
proposed, or continue or the negative of those terms. These statements are only predictions. In evaluating these statements,
you should consider various factors which may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the exceptions reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee
future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely
from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking
statements for any reason.
Overview
Lot78, Inc. (the “Company”) designs, markets, distributes, and sells apparel under the brand name "Lot78" to fashion-conscious consumers on four continents, including North America, Europe, Asia, and South America. We seek to be a trend setting leader in the design, marketing, distribution and sale of luxury street apparel. Our current collection is a full men’s and women’s contemporary ready-to-wear line which includes leather jackets, t-shirts, sweats, knitwear, accessories, jeans, chinos, and wool coats. We operate in three distinct but integrated segments: Wholesale, Consumer Direct and Core Services. Our Wholesale segment sells our products to industry-leading high-end global department stores, specialty retailers and boutiques; our Consumer Direct segment consists of e-commerce sales through our branded website located at www.lot78.com; and our Core Services segment provides product design, distribution, marketing and other overhead resources to the other segments.
Executive Summary
Our results for the current quarter has seen a steady growth in revenues to $225,893 in a quarter which generally is a quiet one. Due to the seasonality of our business, the majority of our sales are booked in second and fourth quarters of the year which co-incide with the Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter seasons. However, the Company is now looking into opening up further delivery windows to our customers, which in turn may result in steady revenue stream across all four quarters.
Plan of Operation
As of June 30, 2014, we had $79,957 of cash on hand. We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $255,008 during the three months ended June 30, 2014. These operating expenses were comprised of general and administrative expenses, professional fees, directors’ and consulting fees, and other miscellaneous expenses.
Our current cash holdings will not satisfy our liquidity requirements and we will require additional financing to pursue our planned business activities. We are in the process of seeking equity and or debt financing to fund our operations over the next 12 months.
If we cannot generate sufficient revenues to continue operations, we will suspend or cease our operations.
We do not expect the purchase or sale of any significant equipment and have no current material commitments.
Management believes that if subsequent placements are successful, we will generate sufficient sales revenue to cover our operating costs within the following twelve months thereof. However, additional equity and or debt financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all, and thus we could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements.

Increased revenues in the Nine month and three month period ended June 30, 2014 can be attributed to an increased customer base as a result of taking on Archetype Showroom as an agent for our US market and Four Marketing UK and Four Marketing International for our existing and new UK, European and Rest of the World market.
Our core customers revenue for the periods have been steadily increasing across all markets together with new customers coming onto our books for the current quarter and the next quarter, wherein we have opened new doors for the FW14 season.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were $235,247 compared to $69,082 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Cost of goods sold represented 104% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 75% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. This increase in COGS as a percentage of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014 can be attributed to selling a great proportion of our out of season stock to discount retailers in the UK. In the current quarter these were sold to TJX Europe a subsidiary of TJX Inc and Brand Outlet.
For the Nine months ended June 30, 2014, cost of goods sold were $748,152 compared to $246,239 for the corresponding period in 2013. Cost of goods sold represented 76% of sales for the Nine months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 82% for the Nine months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in COGS for the Nine months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same corresponding period for 2013, can be attributed to better prices being negotiated prices with our Italian factories and extra discounts being given due to the increase in our orders.
Expenses
Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014, expenses were $255,008, compared to $170,455 for the three month ended June 30, 2013 an increase of 50%. This increase is mainly attributable to , larger sample costs due to an increasing expansive collection, the cost of employing a CFO, increased personnel due to the expansion of operations and commissions payable to Four Marketing and Archetype Showrooms. This increase has been necessary to expand our operations and the corresponding effect can be seen in the increased turnover.
For the Nine months ended June 30, 2014 expenses were $980,634, compared to $565,207 for the corresponding period in 2013 an increase of 73%. This increase can be attributed to , larger sample costs due to an increasing expansive collection, increased travel costs for Spring/Summer 2014 and Autumn/Winter 2014 sales, and increased personnel due to the expansion of operations.

For the period ended June 30, 2014, net cash used in operating activities was $542,039 as a result of changes in our working capital, a net loss of $432,826 and a non cash derivative gain of $356,010.
For the period ended June 30, 2014, net cash provided by financing activities was $331,389 as a result of proceeds from debt of $277,486, repayment of convertible debt of $41,018 and change in our factoring facility with our factoring company of $94,921.
We will require additional funds to fund our budgeted expenses in the future. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. For the period ended June 30, 2014 we have managed to raise $277,486 through debt financing. There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on their investment in our common stock. Furthermore, we may continue to be unprofitable. We will need to raise additional funds in the future in order to proceed with our budgeted expenses. Additionally, there is no assurance that any party will advance additional funds to us in order to enable us to sustain our plan of operations or to repay our liabilities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Growth of our operations will be based on our ability to internally finance from operating cash flows, and the ability to raise funds through equity and/or debt financing to increase sales and production. Our primary sources of liquidity are: (i) cash from sales of our products; and (ii) financing activities. Our cash balance as of June 30, 2014 is $79,957.
Our Company has funded some of its operations through debt financing with related party transactions.
Inflation
The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.
Going Concern
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, our Company has a comprehensive loss of $235,963 and an accumulated deficit of $2,704,498. Our Company intends to fund operations through operational cash flow and equity/debt financing arrangements. These sources may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the future. In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As at June 30, 2014, the Company had a commitment of €106,659.91 ($145,529.24) pertaining to a Letter of credit with our factory in Italy for goods to be delivered in the next quarter.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare for financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2014, due to the material weaknesses resulting from the Board of Directors not currently having any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on January 21, 2014, for a complete discussion relating to the foregoing evaluation of Disclosures and Procedures.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
