NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of operations

 

Panache Beverage Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on December 28, 2004 under the name as Biometrix International Inc. On May 30, 2007, the Company changed its name to BMX Development Corp. On September 6, 2011, the Company filed an Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Florida Secretary of State to change its name to Panache Beverage Inc. and believed the new name would more accurately reflect its business after a stock exchange transaction with Panache LLC, a New York Limited Liability Company.

 

On August 19, 2011, the Company completed a stock exchange transaction with Panache LLC (“Panache”).  Panache was organized as a limited liability company in the State of New York on February 9, 2010. Panache is an alcoholic beverage company specializing in development, global sales and marketing of spirits brands, and currently owns 65.5% ownership of Wodka LLC (“Wodka”), a New York Limited Liability Company organized on August 14, 2009. Upon its organization, Panache assumed ownership of Wodka from a related party. Wodka imports vodka under the brand name Wodka for wholesale distribution to retailers located throughout the United States and internationally.

 

The stock exchange transaction involved two simultaneous transactions:

 

The majority shareholder of the Company delivered 2,560,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Panache Members in exchange for total payments of $125,000 in cash and;

 

The Company issued to the Panache Members an amount equal to 17,440,000 new investment shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in exchange for one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding membership interest units of Panache from the Panache Members.

 

Alibi NYC, LLC (“Alibi”) was organized as a limited liability company in the State of New York on May 17, 2007 and remained dormant until it conducted its first business operations during the first quarter of 2012. Effective January 1, 2012, the members of Alibi transferred their interests to Panache Beverage, Inc. and Alibi became a 100% owned subsidiary of Panache Beverage, Inc. Alibi markets and distributes Alibi American Whiskey.

 

Basis of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Panache Beverage, Inc., Panache LLC, Wodka LLC and Alibi NYC, LLC (collectively, the “Company”). All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with both generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

 

Basis of presentation- (Continued)

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the interim financial information have read or have access to the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. The financial statements of the Company are presented in US dollars.

 

Accounting basis

 

The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end. Certain reclassifications were made to the 2011 financial statements presentation in order to conform to the 2012 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on reported income.

 

Revenue recognition

 

We recognize revenue when title and risk of loss pass to the customer, typically when the product is shipped. Some sales contracts contain customer acceptance provisions that grant a right of return. Under these provisions, customers can return products that are not merchantable and fit and suitable for their intended use, are not of the same premium quality as products currently in existence, or are defectively packaged, bottled or labeled. Customers may also return any product that does not comply with all applicable laws and regulations. We record revenue net of the estimated cost of sales returns and allowances. Gross revenue was reduced due to sales returns and allowances by $29,900 and $16,110 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Sales discounts were $25,701 and $3,271 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

From time to time the Company provides incentives to its customers in the form of free product. The costs associated with producing this product is included as an expense in costs of goods sold. No revenue is recognized with respect to such product giveaways. The Company did not give away any product during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and aggregated $444,998 and $496,915 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Wodka receives advertising services in the form of out of home media space from a related party who holds a non-controlling interest in Wodka. The Company recorded advertising expense and capital contributions from non-controlling interests of $340,796 and $438,884 in relation to this arrangement for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Other Significant Accounting Policies

 

Other significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 of the audited financial statements included in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and remain unchanged as of March 31, 2012.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Recently issued accounting standards

 

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its consolidated financial condition or the consolidated results of its operations.

NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

The Company grants customers standard credit terms as governed by the terms specified in the contracts. Our major customers receive payment credit terms that range between 60 and 65 days.

 

The Company evaluates the need of an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that management believes to be uncollectible. If actual collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. Based on management review of outstanding balances, no allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded as of March 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

Bad debt expense was $0 and $2,026 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

NOTE 3 – PREPAID EXPENSES

 

The Company has entered into various agreements with consultants whereby the Company issues common stock in exchange for consulting services. The Company values the common stock and the consulting services based on the closing price of its common stock on the date of the agreement or the negotiated value of the consulting services. The Company recognized $168,875 and $0 of professional fee expense in relation to these agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Prepaid expenses relating to these agreements were $177,187 and $101,563 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

NOTE 4 – FACTORING AGREEMENT

 

On June 10, 2011, the Company entered into a purchase and sale factoring agreement with a commercial factor whereby the Company sells certain accounts receivable to the factor. Under the terms of the agreement, the factor may, in its sole discretion, make advances to the Company of amounts representing up to 70% of the net amount of eligible accounts receivable up to a maximum of $1,000,000. On September 22, 2011, the factor increased the advance to 75% of eligible accounts receivable. On March 19, 2012, the factor reduced the advance to 70% of eligible accounts receivable. The factor's purchase of the eligible accounts receivable will be at a discounted fee which is deducted from the face value of each collection. The Discount Fee, is based on the number of days outstanding from the date of purchase. The Discount Fee will be; 2.50% if paid within 40 days, 3.34% if paid within 50 days, 4.18% if paid within 60 days, 5.00% if paid within 60 days, 5.84% if paid within 70 days, 6.68% if paid within 80 days, 7.50% if paid within 90 days and 2.0% for each 15 day period until the account is paid. Based on this arrangement, the Company is liable to the factor if the accounts receivable is not collected, and therefore the Company has accounted for cash received on factored receivables as a liability.

 

On December 22, 2011, the Company entered into a separate purchase and sale factoring agreement with a different commercial factor whereby the Company sells certain accounts receivable to the factor. Under the terms of this agreement, the factor makes advances to the Company of amounts representing up to 90% of certain accounts receivable. The factor purchases the accounts receivable at a $500 discount plus monthly compounded interest of 2% of the factored amount for the period the factored accounts receivable remain outstanding. Based on this arrangement, the Company is liable to the factor if the accounts receivable is not collected, and therefore the Company has accounted for cash received on factored receivables as a liability.

 

The combined balance due to the factors as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $87,203 and $317,293, respectively. Factor expense charged to operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $26,380 and $0, respectively.

 

NOTE 5 – LOANS PAYABLE – RELATED PARTIES

 

The Company had an outstanding loan payable to its chief executive officer, majority shareholder and former member of Panache LLC in the amount of $245,000 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

In order to induce a new member to purchase a membership interest, the related party agreed that the loan would not be repaid without unanimous Board approval. In addition, the loan would not become due and payable until all of the equity interests of Wodka, or substantially all of the assets of Wodka are sold to an unrelated third party.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Incubrands claimed commission fees of $191,778 incurred during the agreement period with a predecessor of the Company. Panache assumed this liability upon Panache’s creation in February 2010 and recorded $162,309 as a deemed distribution, since the liability was transferred from a related entity. The balance as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $171,778.

 

The Company rents furnished office space on a month-to-month basis. Rent expense was $3,080 and $2,825 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

 

NOTE 10 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

 

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company issued 280,000 shares of commons stock and 280,000 stock warrants for cash proceeds of $320,000. The Company used the Black Scholes model to bifurcate the value of the stock warrants from the common stock. The following weighted average assumptions were used in the Black Scholes calculation:

 

Risk free rate                0.2%
Expected dividend yield                0.0%
Expected volatility                76%
Expected life of options                1.16 years
Exercise price                $1.79
Stock price on issuance date                $1.53

 

Based on this calculation, the Company determined the value of the common stock was $253,074 and the value of the stock warrants was $66,926 at issuance.

On March 1, 2012, the Company modified 845,000 existing warrants to extend the expiration date. The Company used the Black Scholes model to determine the increase in value of the warrants caused by this modification. Based on this calculation, the Company determined that the modification increased the value of the warrants by $148,395 and therefore increased Common Stock – Warrants and decreased Additional Paid in Capital by $148,395.

The following table shows the warrant activity for the three months ended March 31, 2012:

NOTE 11 – NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

 

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31 2011, the non-controlling interests balance was $(235,601) and $(123,696), respectively, due to minority members owning 34.5% of the membership interests of Wodka.

 

Profits and losses are allocated to the members of Wodka in accordance with Wodka’s Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “Agreement”). Profits are allocated first to members in the amounts and proportions necessary to bring the members’ respective capital account balances in proportion to their percentage ownership interests and thereafter to the members pro rata in accordance with their percentage ownership interests. The Agreement allocates losses first to the members in an amount equal to the positive balances in their Capital Accounts until the balances in such accounts are reduced to zero and thereafter to the members pro rata in accordance with their respective percentage ownerships interests.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, $212,459 and $0, respectively, of Wodka’s net loss was allocated to Panache and $452,701 and $599,231, respectively, was allocated to noncontrolling interests.

NOTE 14 – GOING CONCERN

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

 

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,231,843. Management has taken certain actions and continues to implement changes designed to improve the Company’s financial results and operating cash flows. The actions involve certain cost-saving initiatives and growing strategies, including (a) reductions in operating expenses; and (b) expansion of the business model into new markets. Management believes that these actions will enable the Company to improve future profitability and cash flow in its continuing operations through March 31, 2013.

History

 

As used herein the terms "We", the "Company", "Panache", the "Registrant," or the "Issuer" refers to Panache Beverage Inc., its subsidiaries and predecessors, unless indicated otherwise. We were incorporated in the State of Florida on December 28, 2004 under the name Biometrix International Inc. On May 30, 2007, we changed our name to BMX Development Corp. On September 6, 2011, we filed an Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Florida Secretary of State to change our name to Panache Beverage Inc. and believed the new name would more accurately reflect our business operations after a stock exchange transaction with Panache LLC, a New York Limited Liability Company.

 

As of August 19, 2011, we entered into a Plan of Exchange (the “Agreement”), between and among us, Michael J. Bongiovanni (“Mr. Bongiovanni”), an individual shareholder and our former President / former Chief Executive Officer, Panache LLC (“Panache”), a New York Limited Liability Company, James Dale, an individual member and Manager of Panache, and the individual members of Panache (collectively the “Panache Members”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, two simultaneous transactions were consummated at closing, as follows: (i) Mr. Bongiovanni delivered 2,560,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. James Dale in exchange for total payments of $125,000 in cash and (ii) we issued to the Panache Members an amount equal to 17,440,000 new investment shares of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in exchange for one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding membership interest units of Panache from the Panache Members. Upon completion of the exchange, Panache became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Panache is currently 65.5% owner of Wodka LLC, a New York Limited Liability Company. All of these conditions to closing have been met, and we, Panache, the Panache Members and our Majority Shareholders declared the exchange transaction consummated on August 19, 2011. The transaction was treated for accounting purposes as a capital transaction and recapitalization by the accounting acquirer (Panache) and as a re-organization by the accounting acquiree (the Company).

 

Business Description of the Company

 

We began operating as a services provider regarding motor cycle repair and maintenance for customers located in and around the Charlotte, North Carolina area. Subsequent to the stock exchange transaction, we have continued operations of Panache, an alcoholic beverage company specializing in development, global sales and marketing of spirits brands, and are no longer engaged in the business of motor cycle repair services.

 

Panache was formed in November 2004 by James Dale as the import company of record for the premium vodka, 42 BELOW NZ. At that time, 42 BELOW was a publically traded company but lacked traction in the most important liquor markets in the world, including the United States. Panache provided the marketing solution for 42 BELOW, and it became a brand available in 19 strategically selected states and was over-performing in top tier image accounts a year later. By mid-2005 42 BELOW was a major player in the business and was being noticed in the United States by major suppliers.

 

After noticing that 42 BELOW has replaced Grey Goose in numerous key accounts, Bacardi added 42 BELOW to a list of top threats to Grey Goose in the US. Shortly thereafter 42 BELOW was formally approached for global acquisition. At this stage Panache was responsible for over 50% of the total annual cases sold globally and was among the key driving factors in the success of the brand. These agreements were purchased as part of the settlement and purchase of the 42 BELOW Public Company in December 2006.

 

During this time Panache was developing its current pipeline brands Alchemia Vodka and Alibi Bourbon with an eye toward developing a value brand, which became Wodka.

 

Today, Panache has developed a unique set of wholesale and retail relationships as well as sales and marketing infrastructure and proprietary partnerships that enable it to develop, roll out and exit its brands.

 

Panache is now focused on two additional brands, complimenting Wodka Vodka in its portfolio: Alchemia Infused Vodka and Alibi American Whiskey. Staying true to its credo, Panache developed Alchemia in parallel to the explosion of the epicurean craze. The premium, Polish rye vodka, is distilled three times and then infused, in oak barrels, with fresh ingredients to make its unique Chocolate, Ginger and Wild Cherry infusions. Alchemia’s infusions are a fresh escape for consumers who have been offered very little from a spirits world rife with the artificially flavored vodkas presently taking up store shelves and back bars. Panache is focused on making Alchemia a staple for any consumer whose palate demands just little more than chemical additives. Showing its propensity to stir up a little controversy, Panache is finishing test marketing for its latest creation, Alibi American Whiskey. While we could focus on the fact that Alibi is affordable premium Whiskey, distilled from Rye, aged four years in new American oak barrel — we think that's rather mundane. Alibi is an elixir for the flawed human spirit in all of us, a tonic for sin and an excuse for vulnerability. We created the spirit because we know mankind needs an out, a way to feel better about those poor decisions that will invariably be made. Everyone needs an Alibi. Panache Spirits’ goal is to continue to develop its portfolio of unique and diverse brands and is always working on the development of its next great brand.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2012 AND 2011

 

Revenues

 

Revenues were $368,483 and $433,180 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We generate our revenues from sales of distilled spirits. The revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of a sale exists, transfer of title has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Our sales arrangements are not subject to warranty. Gross revenue was reduced due to sales returns and allowances by $29,900 and $16,110 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The decrease in revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily due to the production delays at our supplier in Bialystok, Poland. The distillery experienced difficulties in supplying Wodka and Alchemia products due to a number of issues beyond its control. The production delays resulted in the backlog of 13 customer orders totaling $454,079 in gross sales. Based on the distillers’ most recent production schedule and our analysis, the entire backlog should be cleared by the end of the second quarter. As a result of resolving production issues and filling the backlog we project significantly higher sales in Q2 of 2012.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold included expenses directly related to selling our products. Product delivery, broker fees and direct labor are included in cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold was $258,129, or approximately 70% of revenue, and $229,681, or approximately 53% of revenue, during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

The increase in COGS as a percentage of revenue during the three month period ended March 31,2012 in comparison to the same period in 2011 is mostly due to a significant customer switching to direct shipments from Wodka's supplier. This change decreases profit margins, but reduces certain operating expenses resulting in improved long-term financial performance.

 

Expenses

 

Operating expenses were $1,387,835 and $686,490 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

The increase in operating expenses during the three month ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 was the result of Panache becoming a public company and its rapid growth. As a new public company Panache incurred substantial accounting and legal expenses, as well as financial consulting, research, and investor relations expenditures. However, substantial portion of these fees were paid in stock of Panache Beverage Inc. to alleviate pressure on cash reserves.

 

As part of its expansion and growth efforts, the Company has hired new employees and incurred higher employee compensation, executive recruiting, insurance, and T&E expenses in the first quarter of 2012. Management projects substantially lower operating expenses in the second quarter of 2012.

 

Net Income / (Loss)

 

The Company’s net (loss) income for stockholders was $(835,840) and $101,286 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The change in net income (loss) during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was attributable to the decrease in revenue, lower profit margins and higher operating expenses.

 

There can be no assurance that we will achieve or maintain profitability, or that any revenue growth will take place in the future.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash flows used in operating activities were $436.778 and $148,590 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Negative cash flows from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were due primarily to the net loss of $835,840, plus the loss allocated to non-controlling interests of $452,701 offset by non-cash advertising and consulting expenses of $560,796. Negative cash flows from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were due primarily to the loss allocated to non-controlling interest of $599,231 and an increase in accounts payable of $105,796 offset by net income available to stockholders of $101,286 and non-cash advertising expense of $438,884.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities in both 2012 and 2011 were due to the purchase of equipment.

 

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $388,715 and $160,720 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Positive cash flows from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 were due primarily to proceeds of $595,000 from sales of common stock offset by the net reduction of due to factor. Positive cash flows from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 were due primarily to net proceeds from notes payable of $127,250 and net proceeds from loans payable from related parties of $33,470.

 

We project that we will need additional capital of $1,200,000 to fund operations over the next 12 months.

 

Overall, we have funded our cash needs from inception through March 31, 2012 with a series of debt and equity transactions, primarily with related parties. If we are unable to receive additional cash from our related parties, we may need to rely on financing from outside sources through debt or equity transactions. Our related parties are under no legal obligation to provide us with capital infusions. Failure to obtain such financing could have a material adverse effect on operations and financial condition.

    

We had cash of $100,961 on hand as of March 31, 2012. Currently, we may not be able to sustain our capital needs because we do not have enough cash to fund our operations for the next six months. This is based on current negative cash flows from operating activities and net losses during the periods. We will then need to obtain additional capital through equity or debt financing to sustain operations for an additional year. Our current level of operations would require capital of approximately $1,200,000 per year. Modifications to our business plans may require additional capital for us to operate. For example, if we are unable to raise additional capital in the future we may need to curtail our number of product offers or limit our marketing efforts to the most profitable geographical areas. This may result in lower revenues and market share for us. In addition, there can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us when needed or available on terms favorable to us.

 

On a long-term basis, liquidity is dependent on continuation and expansion of operations, receipt of revenues, and additional infusions of capital and debt financing. Our current capital and revenues are insufficient to fund such expansion. If we choose to launch such an expansion campaign, we will require substantially more capital. The funds raised from this offering will also be used to market our products and services as well as expand operations and contribute to working capital. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing in the future, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital, our growth potential will be adversely affected and we will have to significantly modify our plans. For example, if we unable to raise sufficient capital to develop our business plan, we may need to:

 

·

 

Curtail new product launches

·

 

Limit our future marketing efforts to areas that we believe would be the most profitable.

 

Demand for the products and services will be dependent on, among other things, market acceptance of our products, our brands’ recognition, distilled spirits market in general, and general economic conditions, which are cyclical in nature. Inasmuch as a major portion of our activities is the receipt of revenues from the sales of our products, our business operations may be adversely affected by our competitors and prolonged recession periods.

  

Our success will be dependent upon implementing our plan of operations and the risks associated with our business plans. We specialize in development, global sales and marketing of spirits brands. We plan to strengthen our position in these markets. We also plan to expand our operations through aggressively marketing our products and our concept.
