ARISTOCRAT GROUP CORP.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

APRIL 30, 2016


Note 1. General Organization and Business


Aristocrat Group Corp. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we”, “our”), a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on July 20, 2011. Our year-end is July 31.


On October 17, 2012, we formed Luxuria Brands LLC as a wholly owned subsidiary. On January 10, 2013, we formed Level Two Holdings, LLC as our wholly owned subsidiary. On January 15, 2013, we formed Top Shelf Distributing, LLC (“Top Shelf”) as our wholly owned subsidiary.


Top Shelf is focused on developing our distilled spirits line of business and currently markets and sells RWB Ultra Premium Handcrafted Vodka (“RWB Vodka”).


Note 2. Going Concern


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the nine months ended April 30, 2016, the Company had a net loss of $1,661,397 and negative cash flow from operating activities of $833,506. As of April 30, 2016, the Company had negative working capital of $1,447,443. Management does not anticipate having positive cash flow from operations in the near future.


These factors raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.


The Company does not have the resources at this time to repay its credit and debt obligations, make any payments in the form of dividends to its shareholders or implement its business plan. Without additional capital, the Company will not be able to remain in business.


Management has plans to address the Company’s financial situation as follows:


In the near term, management plans to continue to focus on raising the funds necessary to implement the Company’s business plan. Management will continue to seek out debt financing to obtain the capital required to meet the Company’s financial obligations. There is no assurance, however, that lenders will continue to advance capital to the Company or that the new business operations will be profitable. The possibility of failure in obtaining additional funding and the potential inability to achieve profitability raise doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


In the long term, management believes that the Company’s projects and initiatives will be successful and will provide cash flow to the Company, which will be used to finance the Company’s future growth. However, there can be no assurances that the Company’s planned activities will be successful, or that the Company will ultimately attain profitability. The Company’s long-term viability depends on its ability to obtain adequate sources of debt or equity funding to meet current commitments and fund the continuation of its business operations, and the ability of the Company to achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations to sustain its operations.


Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Interim Financial Statements


The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2015 and notes thereto and other pertinent information contained in our Form 10-K the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).


- 8 -



The results of operations for the nine month period ended April 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending July 31, 2016.


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.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


For the purpose of the financial statements, cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents were $3,042 and $7,411 at April 30, 2016 and July 31, 2015, respectively.


Inventory


Inventory consists solely of finished goods, which consist entirely of bottled vodka. Inventory is recorded at weighted average cost.


Revenue Recognition


The Company follows ASC 605, Revenue Recognition recognizing revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.


Sales of RWB Vodka are recognized when the product has been delivered to the purchaser.


Earnings (Loss) per Common Share


The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per common share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. The basic earnings (loss) per common share are calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per common share are calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first of the year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.


In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. The Company’s convertible debt is considered anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss for the nine months ended April 30, 2016 and 2015. For the three months ended April 30, 2016 and 2015, potentially issuable shares as a result of conversions of convertible notes payable have been excluded from the calculation. At April 30, 2016, the Company had 172,379,610 potentially issuable shares upon the conversion of convertible notes payable and interest.


Financial Instruments


The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.


FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:


- 9 -



Level 1 -

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 2 -

Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

 

Level 3 -

Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.


Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of April 30, 2016. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms that is not significantly different from its stated value.


Significant Concentrations

For notes convertible at a discount to the market price, we use a 5-day volume weighted average to determine the market price.


The Company evaluated the terms of the new notes in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 - 40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock and determined that the underlying common stock is indexed to the Company’s common stock. The Company determined that the conversion features did not meet the definition of a liability and therefore did not bifurcate the conversion feature and account for it as a separate derivative liability. The Company evaluated the conversion feature for a beneficial conversion feature. The effective conversion price was compared to the market price on the date of the note and was deemed to be less than the market value of underlying common stock at the inception of the note. Therefore, we recognized discounts for beneficial conversion features of $521,122, $161,937 and $127,693 on October 31, 2015, January 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016, respectively. The discount is amortized over the life of the notes using the effective interest method. The discount is amortized at effective interest rates of 192%, 192% and 317%, respectively. The beneficial conversion feature was recorded as increase to additional paid-in capital and a discount to the convertible note.


The Company amortized $597,548 and $329,354 of the discount on the convertible notes payable to interest expense during the nine months ended April 30, 2016 and 2014.


Conversions into Common Stock


During nine months ended April 30, 2016, the holder of our convertible promissory note dated October 31, 2013, elected to convert $31,436 of accrued interest into 1,744,300 shares of common stock at a rate of $0.02 per share.


During nine months ended April 30, 2016, Bloise International, elected to convert $5,611 of accrued interest into 14,029 shares of common stock at a rate of $0.40 per share.

Note 8. Commitments


During the nine months ended April 30, 2016 and 2015, KMDA has provided office space and certain administrative functions to the Company under a management services agreement. The services provided include a furnished executive suite, use of office equipment and supplies, accounting and bookkeeping services, treasury and cash management services, financial reporting, and other support staffing requirements. As a part of the services provided to the Company, KMDA receives the advances from the lender (See Note 5.) and disburses those funds to the Company. During the nine months ended April 30, 2016 and 2015, KMDA billed the Company $153,826 and $163,978, respectively, for those services. At April 30, 2016, $22,269 was owed for these services.


We rent office space in Las Vegas, Nevada; Houston, Texas and Vancouver, British Columbia. We also rent warehouse space in Houston, Texas. All leases are short-term with expiration dates of one year or less from the origination date.


In January 2016, the Company received a notice from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (the “TABC”) that an administrative case had been filed against the Company’s permit to distribute distilled spirits in the State of Texas. The TABC asserted that the Company’s private labeling contract to produce RWB Vodka resulted in unauthorized manufacturing activities by the Company. The TABC has issued a cease and desist order which prohibits the manufacturer from shipping additional RWB Vodka to the Company under their existing permit. The Company is not prohibited from selling the RWB Vodka which is already held in inventory. The Company resolved this matter by selling all of their existing inventory to a third-party distributor, surrendering their existing distribution permit and applying for a non-resident seller permit from the TABC. The non-resident seller permit was issued by the TABC in May 2016. Under the non-resident seller permit, the Company would be allowed to distribute its products through a third-party distributor instead of selling directly to retailers as had in the past.


Note 9. Subsequent Events


On May 19, 2016, a third party purchased $40,000 of principal from Vista View Ventures on our convertible promissory note dated April 30, 2015. We agreed to modify the terms of the note such that it now bears interest at 5% per year, and is convertible into common stock at a 49% discount to the lowest trading price over the preceding twenty trading days to the conversion date.


On the same date, the holder of the note discussed above elected to convert principal of $9,078 into 178,000 shares of common stock of the Company in accordance with the terms of the modified note.

Critical Accounting Policies


We prepare our Consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates and apply judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review our accounting policies and how they are applied and disclosed in our condensed consolidated financial statements.


While we believe that the historical experience, current trends and other factors considered support the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, actual results could differ from our estimates and such differences could be material.


For a full description of our critical accounting policies, please refer to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report for the year ended July 31, 2015 on Form 10-K.


Results of Operations


Nine months ended April 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2015.


Revenue


Revenue decreased to $65,385 for the nine months ended April 30, 2016, compared to $85,895 for the nine months ended April 30, 2015. The decline is largely due to reduced prices on our RWB Vodka product.


Cost of Goods Sold


Cost of goods sold decreased to $51,247 for the nine months ended April 30, 2016, compared to $70,550 for the comparable period in 2015. The decline is due to lower manufacturing costs.


Gross Profit


Gross profit decreased to $14,138 for the nine months ended April 30, 2016, compared to $15,345 for the nine months ended April 30, 2015. This was caused by the decrease in sales prices and manufacturing costs discussed above.


Sales and Marketing Expenses


We recognized sales and marketing expenses of $189,934 and of $387,786 for the nine months ended April 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We have reduced to the cost of our advertising and promotional spend as we have targeted more effective methods.


General and Administrative Expenses


We recognized general and administrative expenses $703,032 and of $711,158 for the nine months ended April 30, 2016 and  2015, respectively. The decrease was due to lower expenditure on professional fees and payroll expenses.


Interest Expense


Interest expense increased from $427,798 for the nine months ended April 30, 2015 to $782,569 for the nine months ended April 30, 2016. Interest expense for the nine months ended April 30, 2016 included amortization of discount on convertible notes payable in the amount of $597,548, compared to $329,354 for the comparable period of 2015. The remaining amount is the result of the Company entering into interest-bearing convertible notes payable.


Net Loss


We incurred a net loss of $1,661,397 for the nine months ended April 30, 2016 as compared to $1,511,397 for the comparable period of 2015. The increase in the net loss was primarily the result of increased interest expense.


- 14 -



Three months ended April 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2015.


Revenue


Revenue decreased to $29,053 for the three months ended April 30, 2016, compared to $34,885 for the three months ended April 30, 2015 as we earned less revenue per bottle of RWB Vodka.


Cost of Goods Sold


Cost of Goods Sold decreased to $20,665 for the three months ended April 30, 2016, compared to $32,583 for the comparable period in 2015. This is due to lower manufacturing costs for our RWB Vodka product.


Gross Profit


Gross profit increased to $8,388 for the nine months ended April 30, 2016, compared to $2,302 for the three months ended April 30, 2015 as a result of the decline in per unit revenue and lower manufacturing costs.


Sales and Marketing Expenses


We recognized sales and marketing expenses of $16,076 and $126,493 for the three months ended April 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This is a result of decreased expenses as we retarget our advertising.


General and Administrative Expenses


We recognized general and administrative expenses of $182,569 and $246,595 for the three months ended April 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The decline is due to lower professional fees.


Interest Expense


Interest expense increased from $137,730 for the three months ended April 30, 2015 to $236,834 for the nine months ended April 30, 2016. Interest expense for the three months ended April 30, 2016 included amortization of discount on convertible notes payable in the amount of $39,065, compared to $97,866 for the comparable period of 2015. The remaining difference is due to higher interest on our convertible notes payable, as we carried higher average debt balance this year.


Net Loss


We incurred a net loss of $427,091 for the three months ended April 30, 2016 as compared to $508,516 for the comparable period of 2015. The increase in the net loss was primarily the result of increased interest expense.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


At April 30, 2016, we had cash on hand of $3,042. The company has negative working capital of $1,447,443 . Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended April 30, 2016 was $833,506. Cash on hand is adequate to fund our operations for less than one month. We do not expect to achieve positive cash flow from operating activities in the near future. We will require additional cash in order to implement our business plan. There is no guarantee that we will be able to attain fund when we need them or that funds will be available on terms that are acceptable to the Company. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures as of April 30, 2016.


Additional Financing


Additional financing is required to continue operations. Although actively searching for available capital, the Company does not have any current arrangements for additional outside sources of financing and cannot provide any assurance that such financing will be available.


Off Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


This item is not applicable to smaller reporting companies.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of April 30, 2016. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of April 30, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: lack of a functioning audit committee; lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors; inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and, management is dominated by a single individual. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of April 30, 2016.


 

1.

As of April 30, 2016, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. Specifically, we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees our accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have 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. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.

 

 

 

 

2.

As of April 30, 2016, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.


Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, who is the same person, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.


Change in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting


There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to have a material effect, our internal controls over financial reporting.


PART II — OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered beneficial shareholder are an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to us.
