CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are projections in respect of future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “would,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: our product line; our business plan; the enforceability of our intellectual property rights; projections of market prices and costs; supply and demand for our products; future capital expenditures; our collaboration with Dwyane Wade, relationships with retailers, wholesalers and other business partners; ability to add new customer accounts; and future borrowings under the Joint Factoring Agreement with Wells Fargo. The material assumptions supporting these forward-looking statements include, among other things: our ability to obtain any necessary financing on acceptable terms; timing and amount of capital expenditures; the enforcement of our intellectual property rights; our ability to launch new product lines; retention of skilled personnel; continuation of current tax and regulatory regimes; current exchange rates and interest rates; and general economic and financial market conditions. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

CERTAIN TERMS USED IN THIS FORM 10-Q

 

Unless expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise, the terms “Naked,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in this document refer to Naked Brand Group Inc., a Nevada corporation, and, where appropriate, its wholly owned subsidiary.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

July 31, 2016

(Expressed in US Dollars)

(Unaudited)

 

1.Nature of Business

 

Naked Brand Group Inc. (the “Company”) is a manufacturer and seller of direct and wholesale men’s and women’s undergarments and intimate apparel in the United States and Canada to consumers and retailers through its wholly owned subsidiary, Naked Inc. (“Naked”). The Company currently operates out of New York, United States of America.

 

Effective August 10, 2015, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its common stock on the basis of 1:40. As such, the Company’s authorized capital was decreased from 450,000,000 shares of common stock to 11,250,000 shares of common stock and an aggregate of 53,278,818 shares of common stock issued and outstanding were decreased to 1,331,977 shares of common stock. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to such reverse stock split and all share and per share amounts have been adjusted accordingly.

 

Effective August 11, 2016, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 11,250,000 to 18,000,000 and to provide authority to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock.

 

2.Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its obligations and commitments in the normal course of operations. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

As of July 31, 2016, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, had incurred a net loss of $5,841,875 and had an accumulated deficit of $52,222,955 and expects to incur significant further losses in the development of its business, which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. To remain a going concern, the Company will be required to obtain the necessary financing to pursue its plan of operation. Management plans to obtain the necessary financing through the issuance of equity and/or debt. Should the Company not be able to obtain this financing, it may need to substantially scale back operations or cease business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

3.Basis of Presentation

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by management, without audit, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading and the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for fair presentation of statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the six months ended July 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 31, 2017.

 

The consolidated balance sheet at January 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP.

3.Basis of Presentation (continued)

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent audited financial statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2016.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company used several factors in identifying and analyzing reportable segments, including the basis of organization, such as differences in products and services, and geographical areas. The Company’s chief operating decision makers review financial information presented on a consolidated basis for the purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financing performance. Accordingly, the Company has determined that as of July 31, 2016 and 2015, there is only a single reportable operating segment.

 

The Company operates in one industry, the manufacture and sale of direct and wholesale undergarments. Revenues from external customers are all derived from customers located within North America as follows:

   Three months ended
July 31,
   Six months ended
July 31,
 
   2016   2015   2016   2015 
United States  $290,918   $275,515   $736,516   $454,591

   $293,011   $361,043   $740,638   $620,409 

 

At July 31, 2016, the net book value of long-lived assets all located within North America were as follows:

 

   July 31, 2016   January 31, 2016

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (“ASU 2014-12”). ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The Company adopted this standard on February 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have any effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”), which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset. In addition, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements: Amendments to SEC Paragraph Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting (“ASU 2015-15”), which permits entities to defer and present debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements as assets, and was adopted concurrently with ASU No. 2015-03. The Company adopted these standards on a retroactive basis on February 1, 2016. Adoption of these standards resulted in the reclassification of $15,058 in deferred financing costs at January 31, 2016 from assets to a deduction from the related debt liability.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Unless otherwise discussed, management believes the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). The new revenue recognition standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The premise of the guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 can be adopted by the Company either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. On April 1, 2015, the FASB decided to defer the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year. As a result, public entities would apply the new revenue standard to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 will explicitly require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosure in certain circumstances. The new standard will be effective for all entities in the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

3.Basis of Presentation (continued)

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”) which requires a company to change the measurement principal for inventory measured using the FIFO or average cost method from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. Treatment of inventory valued under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method is unchanged by this guidance. The new guidance will be applied prospectively and will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) - Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2015-15”). Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update provide that guidance. The amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term “substantial doubt,” (2) require an evaluation every reporting period, including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-17 eliminates the requirement to bifurcate deferred taxes between current and non-current on the balance sheet and requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 is effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments for ASU-2015-17 can be applied retrospectively or prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact for any period presented.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 provides guidance that addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 was issued as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative and affects all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The amendments in this update cover such areas as the recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies, the classification of those excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows, an accounting policy election for forfeitures, the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes and still qualify for equity classification and the classification of those taxes paid on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). The guidance would require lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right–of-use assets. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.

8.Factoring Line of Credit

 

i)Capital Business Credit

 

On June 11, 2015, the Company entered into a factoring agreement (the “CBC Factoring Agreement”) with Capital Business Credit LLC (“CBC”) whereby the Company could borrow the lesser of (i) $750,000 or (ii) the sum of up to 80% of trade receivables, 60% of finished goods inventory and 100% of any accepted side collateral, under the terms and conditions as outlined in the CBC Factoring Agreement. A director and officer of the Company provided side collateral of $500,000 to support a portion of the borrowings and guaranteed repayment of the Company’s indebtedness and performance of its obligations under the CBC Factoring Agreement. The facility was secured by a general security interest over all of the Company assets and interests. The term of the agreement was for a period of one year and would automatically renew for additional one year terms, unless terminated at any time by CBC or by the Company prior to such renewal, with thirty days’ prior written notice. During the six months ended July 31, 2016 the Company did not renew the CBC Factoring Agreement with CBC.

 

On June 14, 2016, the Company entered into a Joint Factoring Agreement (the “Joint Factoring Agreement”) with Wells Fargo. The Joint Factoring Agreement with Wells Fargo replaces the CBC Factoring Agreement, which was terminated effective on the same date.

 

ii)Wells Fargo

 

Under the terms of the Joint Factoring Agreement, the Company may assign eligible accounts receivable (the “Accounts”) to Wells Fargo in exchange for loans and advances (each such loan or advance, an “Advance”) up to an aggregate amount (the “Borrowing Base”) not to exceed the lesser of (i) $6,000,000 or (ii) the sum of up to 80% of trade receivables deemed eligible by Wells Fargo plus (A) the lesser of up to (x) 50% of the value, calculated at the lower of cost or market, of finished goods, warehoused inventory deemed eligible by Wells Fargo or (y) $500,000, plus (B) the lesser of (x) up to 75% of marketable securities held in a blocked security account, subject to an account control agreement in favor of Wells Fargo (the “Securities Account”); provided, however, that at any time when the market value of the securities held in such Securities Account is below $1,067,000, then the value of such securities for purposes of calculating the Borrowing Base will be $0 or (y) $200,000, less any reserves that Wells Fargo may establish from time to time.

 

In connection with Wells Fargo’s services under the Joint Factoring Agreement, Wells Fargo receives a commission equal to the Factoring Commission Percentage (as defined in the Joint Factoring Agreement) multiplied by the gross invoice amount of each Account purchased, which is charged to the Company’s account on the date a related Advance is made. During the initial term of the Joint Factoring Agreement, Wells Fargo will receive minimum commissions equal to $24,000, $36,000 and $50,000 during the first, second and third year, respectively.

 

The Company bears the risk of credit loss on the Accounts, except where Wells Fargo provides credit approval in writing on such Account. The Advances will bear interest on the daily net balance of any moneys owed at a rate of LIBOR plus 3%. All obligations under the Joint Factoring Agreement, including the Advances (collectively, the “Obligations”), are payable on demand and may be charged by Wells Fargo to the Company’s account at any time.

 

The Obligations are secured by a continuing security interest in all assets, properties, and rights of the Company, wherever located, whether owned as of the date of the Joint Factoring Agreement or subsequent thereto. The term of the Joint Factoring Agreement is for three years and will automatically renew, unless terminated at any time by Wells Fargo with thirty days’ written notice, or by the Company prior to such renewal, with sixty days’ prior written notice.

8.Factoring Line of Credit – (continued)

 

ii)Wells Fargo – (continued)

 

The Joint Factoring Agreement contains covenants that are customary for agreements of this type. The failure to satisfy covenants under the Joint Factoring Agreement or the occurrence of other specified events that constitute an event of default could result in the termination of the Joint Factoring Agreement and/or the acceleration of the repayment obligations of the Company. The Joint Factoring Agreement contains provisions relating to events of default that are customary for agreements of this type.

 

The Company has accounted for invoices sold to the Wells Fargo under the Joint Factoring Agreement as a sale of financial assets.

 

Factor expenses and interest charged to operations during the three and six months ended July 31, 2016 were $5,907 and $11,736, respectively (2015: $10,353 and $10,353, respectively). At July 31, 2016, an amount of $234,982 (January 31, 2016: $527,711) was owing under the terms of the Joint Factoring Agreement, for advances made to the Company, net of repayments of such advances through the sale of factored receivables.

The Notes were secured by a general security interest in the present and future assets of the Company. The principal amounts outstanding were accruing interest at a rate of 6% per annum, calculated and payable quarterly and were due on October 1, 2016. The principal amounts, and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, were convertible into common stock at any time at the option of the Lenders at a conversion price of $10.00 per share.

 

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the Company repaid all principal and accrued and unpaid interest amounts due under the Notes in their entirety and as such, these Notes are no longer outstanding.

 

During the three and six months ended July 31, 2016, the Company recorded $8,293 and $15,058, respectively (2015: $7,198 and $14,254, respectively) in financing charges in respect of the amortization of fees incurred in connection with the issuance and modification of these Notes.

 

Senior Secured Convertible Debentures

 

During 2014, we entered into subscription agreements with several investors in connection with a brokered private placement offering for aggregate gross proceeds of $7,309,832 through the sale of 292 units at a price of $25,000 per unit (the “2014 Private Placement Offering”). Each unit consisted of (i) a Debenture and (ii) warrants to purchase 4,167 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, subject to certain adjustment as set out in the warrant agreements. In connection with the closing of the 2014 Private Placement Offering, we issued Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $7,309,832.

 

Upon completion of a public offering on December 23, 2015, the outstanding aggregate principal amount and interest due under the Debentures, was automatically converted into shares of the Company’s common stock.

These financial statements give retroactive effect to such reverse stock split and all share and per share amounts have been adjusted accordingly.

 

Effective August 11, 2016, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 11,250,000 to 18,000,000 and to provide authority to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock.

The warrants were issued during the six months ended July 31, 2016.

 

2014 Stock Option Plan

 

On June 6, 2014, the Company’s board of directors approved a 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), which provides for the grant of stock options, restricted shares, restricted share units and performance stock and units to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. Stockholder approval of the plan was obtained on August 21, 2014.

 

The maximum number of our common shares reserved for issue under the plan is 2,750,000 shares subject to adjustment in the event of a change of the Company’s capitalization (as described in the 2014 Plan). As a result of the adoption of the 2014 Plan, no further option awards will be granted under any previously existing stock option plan. Stock option awards previously granted under previously existing stock option plans remain outstanding in accordance with their terms.

 

The 2014 Plan is administered by the board of directors, except that it may, in its discretion, delegate such responsibility to a committee of such board. The exercise price will be determined by the board of directors at the time of grant. Stock options may be granted under the 2014 Plan for an exercise period of up to ten years from the date of grant of the option or such lesser periods as may be determined by the board, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms of the 2014 Plan. At July 31, 2016, 667,101 (January 31, 2016: 607,101) options remained available for issuance under the 2014 Plan.

11.Stockholders’ Equity (continued)

 

During the three and six months ended July 31, 2016, the Company recognized a total fair value of $1,654,549 and $2,925,910, respectively (2015: $1,234,627 and $2,452,511, respectively) of stock based compensation expense relating to the issuance of stock options in exchange for services. An amount of $4,633,540 in stock based compensation expense is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting term of these options to February 2019.

 

The fair value of each option award was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions:

 

   2016   2015 
Expected term of stock option (years) (1)   5.00    6.36 
Expected volatility (2)   67.70%   125.14%
Stock price at date of issuance  $2.50   $5.20 
Risk-free interest rate   1.16%   1.75%
Dividend yields   0.00%   0.00%

 

(1) As the Company has insufficient historical data on which to estimate the expected term of the options, the Company has elected to apply the short-cut method to determine the expected term under the guidance of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110.

 

(2) As the Company has insufficient historical data on which to estimate expected future share price volatility, the Company has estimated expected share price volatility based on the historical share price volatility of comparable entities.

11.Stockholders’ Equity (continued)

 

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of 479,757 warrants exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $4.84 per share for a period of seven years from the date of issuance, pursuant to negotiated consulting and endorsement agreements. The weighted average grant date fair value of these warrants at issuance was $4.67 for an aggregate grant date fair value of $2,239,000, based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions: expected term 7 years, expected volatility 158.04%, expected dividend yield 0.00%, risk free interest rate 2.09%. Stock based compensation is being recorded in the financial statements over the vesting term of three years from the date of grant. The Company recognized stock based compensation expense of $15,717 and $(112,406) during the three and six months ended July 31, 2016, respectively (2015: $114,225 and $114,225, respectively) in connection with warrants granted.

 

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the Company issued 137,180 share purchase warrants in connection with an underwritten public offering, which closed December 23, 2015.

 

Certain of the warrants granted during the year ended January 31, 2016 become exercisable only under certain anti-dilution performance conditions contained in the warrant agreement. The fair value of these warrants at issuance was calculated to be $168,500 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: expected term 7 years, expected volatility 153.00%, expected dividend yield 0.00%, risk free interest rate 2.11%. No stock-based compensation has been recorded in the financial statements as none of the performance conditions have been met.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Overview

 

We are an apparel and lifestyle brand company that is currently focused on innerwear products for women and men. Under our flagship brand name and registered trademark “Naked®”, we design, manufacture and sell men’s and women’s underwear, intimate apparel, loungewear and sleepwear through retail partners and direct to consumer through our online retail store www.wearnaked.com. We have a growing retail footprint for our innerwear products in premium department and specialty stores and internet retailers in North America, including accounts such as Nordstrom, Dillard’s, Bloomingdale’s, Amazon.com, Soma.com, Saksfifthavenue.com, barenecessities.com and others.

 

During the quarter ended July 31, 2016, our net sales decreased by $68,032, or 18.8% over the comparative quarter ended July 31, 2015. Net sales decreased primarily as a result of above average sales in the comparative period from the launch of our expanded and redesigned men’s collections in that period, which resulted in high initial bulk up orders, and the fulfillment of backup orders which had built up in anticipation of the new collections. In the current period, sales to department stores accounted for approximately 32% of total sales, as compared to 46% in the comparative quarter ended July 31, 2015. Sales of our women’s products at new accounts have been strong, however these sales were offset by a decrease in our men’s sales from Nordstrom in the current period, as a result of a reduction by Nordstrom in replenishment orders aimed at reducing overstocked in-store inventory and a store closure which resulted in a return of in-store merchandise.

 

We sell all our collections through our ecommerce store (www.wearnaked.com), which sales channel saw a modest decrease in net sales to approximately $74,139 for the three-month period ended July 31, 2016, from $76,955 for the three-month period ended July 31, 2015. However, for the six-month period, our ecommerce sales increased to $165,775 for the six-month period ended July 31, 2016 from $98,505 for the six-month period ended July 31, 2015, due to the launch of our ecommerce store in the second quarter of the comparative fiscal year. During the three-month period ended July 31, 2016, direct to consumer ecommerce sales accounted for 25% of total sales, as compared to 21% in the comparative quarter ended July 31, 2015. The increase in ecommerce sales as a percentage of total sales is attributable to lower total sales in the second quarter ended July 31, 2016 compared to the comparative quarter, as a result of reduced sales from wholesale accounts, as discussed above.

 

Sales to specialty store accounts constituted approximately 16% of sales in the current quarter, as compared to 22% in the comparative quarter. We expect to add new wholesale customer accounts as a result of the launch of our women’s collections and expect sales of women’s products to continue to increase throughout the year as a result of the addition of new customer accounts as well as marketing and promotional activities to support these channels, along with our direct ecommerce sales.

 

During the quarter ended July 31, 2016, we sold off some out of season and overstock inventory through off price sales channels. Sales to off price customers accounted for approximately 17% of total net sales during the three months ended July 31, 2016, as compared to 0% during the three months ended July 31, 2015.

 

During the quarter ended July 31, 2016, men’s products constituted 53% of total sales and women’s products constituted 47% of total sales. Going forward, we expect the majority of our growth to be driven by our recently launched women’s collections, as we anticipate that these products will become more widely distributed. In addition, the women’s market is substantially larger than the men’s market. However, we also expect to see growth in our men’s products. We believe several factors will contribute to the growth of our men’s business: 1) the reduction of suggested retail prices for our core men’s underwear products which we completed in May 2016 to increase sell through rates; 2) the launch of the Wade X Naked collection in the Fall of 2016; 3) the introduction of new underwear and loungewear products for men introduced in the second fiscal quarter; and 4) the expected addition of new wholesale customer accounts. As an example of new customer accounts that can contribute to men’s sales growth, we received a $250,000 purchase order in May 2016 for a product test of a single style of our men’s underwear from a major retail store chain. We shipped this order in August, 2016 and, if the test is successful, see significant opportunity for sales growth through this new channel partner. During the six-month period ended July 31, 2016, we also sold off some overstock of men’s inventory through off price sales channels.

 

Our products are sold in North America; however, we believe our products appeal to men and women around the globe. We are currently exploring international distribution relationships for our Naked and Wade X Naked products and we anticipate that we will commence selling a limited number of products in markets such as Europe, Asia, and Central and South America starting in 2017.

 

 

23 

 

 

Our industry is subject to seasonality of buying, which can affect revenue and cash flows. For men, there are generally two distinct buying seasons in the apparel industry: Fall/Winter season, which falls into the third to fourth quarters of our fiscal year and Spring/Summer season, which falls into the first to second quarters of our fiscal year, with some potential shipments at the last quarter. The women’s apparel buying markets are more frequent than men’s although we may elect to focus only on two main buying markets as we do for men’s products in order to optimize design and production cycles. As a result of growth and changes to our business with the introductions of a new product lines, the natural seasonality of our business had a reduced effect. Thus, historical quarterly operating trends may not be indicative of future performance because of new product launches and continued early stage sales growth. 

 

Subsequent to July 31, 2016, we launched our first collections of Wade X Naked, which became available for advance purchase during the quarter ended July 31, 2016. The Company started shipping these orders in September, 2016 through its direct to consumer channels, and received an initial order from Nordstrom.

 

In the future, we intend to expand the Naked brand on our own and through licensing partnerships into other apparel and product categories that can exemplify the mission of the brand, such as athleisure and activewear, swimwear, sportswear, hosiery, bedding and home products, and more.

 

Results of Operations

 

THREE Months Ended July 31, 2016 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2015

 

Revenues

 

During the quarter ended July 31, 2016, our net sales decreased by $68,032, or 18.8% over the comparative quarter ended July 31, 2015. Net sales decreased as a result of two major factors. First, we reported above average sales in the comparative period from the launch of our expanded and redesigned men’s collections in that period, which resulted in high initial bulk up orders, and the fulfillment of backup orders which had built up in anticipation of the new collections. Second, sales to one of our key customers, Nordstrom, decreased by $104,700 over the comparative quarter as a result of a reduction by Nordstrom in replenishment orders aimed at reducing in-store overstock, and a store closure which resulted in a large return of in-store merchandise.

 

Gross Margins

 

For the quarter ended July 31, 2016, we realized a gross margin of (67.2) %, compared to 38.1% in the quarter ended July 31, 2015. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to a large write down of overstocked men’s inventory, which is reflected in cost of sales, as well as significant sell offs of overstocked men’s inventory through off price sales channels, which was sold at reduced margins.

These stock based compensation charges relate to stock options issued to a new core management team and directors in June 2014 as part of certain incentive based compensation packages, and to new directors and advisors appointed in Fiscal 2016. The fair value of such awards is being recognized over their vesting terms.

  

24 

 

 

There was an overall increase in general and administrative expenses of 3.2% for the quarter ended July 31, 2016, compared to the quarter ended July 31, 2015. This increase is mostly attributable to an increase in salaries and benefits as a result of increased staffing levels commensurate with our increase in operations as well as increased stock based compensation charges associated with termination benefits. 

 

There were also increases in filing fees and rent, as further explained below.

 

Rent expense increased in the quarter ended July 31, 2016 as a result of an expanded team which warranted increased occupancy, however office and miscellaneous charges decreased as a result of the implementation of a fully integrated ERP system in the comparative quarter ended July 31, 2015.

 

Transfer agent, listing and filing fees have increased as a result of the up listing of our common stock to NASDAQ from the OTC markets, which exchange carries a higher annual listing fee, which amount is amortized over the related calendar year.

 

The increase in general and administrative expenses described above were partially offset by a decrease in consulting, directors’ fees, marketing, product development, and warehouse management costs.

 

Consulting fee expenses decreased as a result of negative stock option compensation charges recognized in the quarter ended July 31, 2016 for stock options issued to non-employees, which are being re-measured at each reporting period in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, the value of which decreased during the quarter ended July 31, 2016.

 

Directors fees consist entirely of non-cash charges, which decreased in the current period as a result of the appointment of advisors in the comparative period, which resulted in greater associated initial stock based compensation charges during that period.

 

Our marketing expenses decreased for the quarter ended July 31, 2016 as a result of the negotiation of vendor terms with our social media partner and a decrease in marketing expenses for merchandising consulting, photoshoots and promotional material from the comparative period in connection with the launch of new collections. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in marketing expense associated with our collaboration and endorsement agreement with Dwayne Wade, including advanced royalty charges.

 

Product development costs have decreased because the Company incurred higher product development costs in the comparative quarter ended July 31, 2015, in connection with the launch of our women’s collections.

 

Warehouse management expenses decreased in the quarter ended July 31, 2016 as compared to the quarter ended July 31, 2015 as a result of the engagement of a new third party warehouse, at a lower cost. 

 

Other income and expenses

 

We incurred interest expenses of $17,353 for the quarter ended July 31, 2016 as compared to $246,651 for the same period in 2015. This decrease in interest is attributable to the conversion of long term debt in December 2015, in connection with the public offering of our common stock.

 

Financing and accretion charges were $8,627 for the quarter ended July 31, 2016 compared to $45,041 for the quarter ended July 31, 2015. Financing and accretion expenses in the comparative period related mostly to the accretion of debt discounts associated with the long term debt, which was converted to shares of common stock in December 2015.

 

25 

 

 

Net loss and comprehensive loss

 

Our net loss for the quarter ended July 31, 2016 was $3,301,780, or $(0.54) per share, as compared to a net loss of $3,139,632, or $(2.71) per share, for the quarter ended July 31, 2015. The most significant factor for the increase in net loss in the current period is a result of the decrease in gross margin, as described above. The most significant factor for the decrease in net loss per share is due to the increased number of shares outstanding compared to the comparative period, as a result of the public offering of common stock and conversion of debt to common stock in December 2015.

 

SIX Months Ended July 31, 2016 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2015

 

Revenues

 

During the six-month period ended July 31, 2016, our net sales increased by $120,229, or 19.4% over the comparative six-month period ended July 31, 2015. Net sales increased significantly primarily as a result of our first shipments of women’s sleepwear, loungewear and intimate apparel collections to select department store and specialty store accounts during the first quarter of the current fiscal year. These increases were partially offset by reduced sales to one of our key customers, Nordstrom, as a result of a reduction by Nordstrom in replenishment orders aimed at reducing overstocked in-store inventory and a store closure which resulted in a large return of merchandise

 

Gross Margins

 

For the six-month period ended July 31, 2016, we realized a gross margin of (7.7) %, compared to 33.1% in the six-month period ended July 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a large write down of overstocked men’s inventory reflected in cost of sales, as well significant sell offs of overstocked men’s inventory through off price sales channels, which are at reduced margins.

These stock based compensation charges relate to stock options issued to a new core management team and directors in June 2014 as part of certain incentive based compensation packages, and to new directors and advisors appointed in Fiscal 2016. The fair value of such awards is being recognized over their vesting terms.

  

There was an overall increase in general and administrative expenses of 8.2% for the period ended July 31, 2016, compared to the period ended July 31, 2015. This increase is mostly attributable to an increase in salaries and benefits as a result of increased staffing levels commensurate with our increase in operations, as well as increased stock based compensation charges, described above.

 

26 

 

 

There were also increases in marketing costs, filing fees, rent, and warehouse management costs as further explained below.

 

Our marketing expenses increased significantly for the period ended July 31, 2016 as a result of the engagement of a digital media consultant engaged in media relations, media database building, and coordination and the execution of promotional efforts, including our social media presence. We also incurred significant marketing expenses for merchandising consulting, photoshoots and promotional material in connection with the launch of new collections, and expenses associated with our collaboration and endorsement agreement with Dwayne Wade, including advanced royalty charges, photoshoots and promotional materials.

 

Filing fees have increased as a result of the up listing of our common stock to NASDAQ from the OTC markets, which exchange carries a higher annual fee, which amount is amortized over the related calendar year.

 

Rent expense increased in the period ended July 31, 2016 as a result of an expanded team which warranted increased occupancy, however office and miscellaneous charges decreased as a result of the implementation of a fully integrated ERP system in the comparative period ended July 31, 2015.

 

Warehouse management expenses overall increased in the period ended July 31, 2016 as compared to the period ended July 31, 2015 in connection with the large increase in inventory as a result of our new and expanded collections, and as a result of the increase in direct-to-consumer online sales, which have higher shipping and handling costs. Warehouse management fees are expected to decrease going forward, as a result of the engagement of a new third party warehouse, which is at a lower cost.

 

The increase in general and administrative expenses described above were partially offset by a decrease in consulting, directors’ fees, product development, and professional fees.

 

Consulting fee expenses decreased as a result of negative stock option compensation charges recognized in the period ended July 31, 2016 for stock options issued to non-employees, which are being re-measured at each reporting period in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, the value of which decreased during the period ended July 31, 2016.

 

Directors fees consist entirely of non-cash charges, which decreased in the current period as a result of the appointment of advisors in the comparative period, which resulted in greater associated initial stock based compensation charges during the period.

 

Product development costs have decreased in the current period because the Company incurred higher product development costs in the comparative period ended July 31, 2015 in connection with the launch of our women’s collections.

 

Professional fees decreased in the current period as a result of financing related activities in the comparative period ended July 31, 2015.

 

Other income and expenses

 

We incurred interest expenses of $36,469 for the period ended July 31, 2016 as compared to $361,356 for the same period in 2015. This decrease in interest is attributable to the conversion of long term debt, in connection with the public offering of our common stock.

 

Financing and accretion charges were $15,391 for the period ended July 31, 2016 compared to $205,272 for the period ended July 31, 2015. Financing and accretion expenses in the comparative period related mostly to the accretion of debt discounts associated with the long term debt, which was converted to shares of common stock in December 2015 in connection with the public offering of our common stock.

 

27 

 

 

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015, in connection with a private placement offering, we issued convertible debentures and warrants, each of which were convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock. These embedded conversion features and warrants were subject to a registration rights agreement which, as a result of the terms of such agreement, triggered the requirement to account for these instruments as derivative financial instruments. As a result of the application of these accounting rules, which required these derivative financial instruments to be carried at fair value, we recorded a mark to market gain of $708,900 during the period ended July 31, 2015 in correlation with fluctuations in the price of our common stock. During the period ended July 31, 2015, we obtained a waiver from all of the holders of these instruments waiving certain registration obligations of our Company and, as such, these instruments are no longer required to be accounted for in this manner and no such charges exist in the period ended July 31, 2016.

 

Net loss and comprehensive loss

 

Our net loss for the six months ended July 31, 2016 was $5,841,875, or $(0.96) per share, as compared to a net loss of $4,949,668, or $(4.49) per share, for the six months ended July 31, 2015. The most significant factor for the increase in net loss in the current period is a result of the non-cash income related to the fair value mark to market adjustment recorded in the comparative period, as described above. The most significant factor for the decrease in net loss per share is due to the increased number of shares outstanding compared to the comparative period, as a result of the public offering of common stock and conversion of debt to common stock in December, 2015.

 

Liquidity and FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

Liquidity

 

Our cash requirements have been principally to fund working capital needs, development of new product lines and the procurement of inventory to support our growth.

 

As of July 31, 2016, the Company had cash totaling $736,406. The Company believes it does not have sufficient cash resources to fund its operations through the fourth quarter ending January 31, 2017 (fiscal 2017). During the six-month period ended July 31, 2016, the Company spent a significant amount of cash on the procurement of inventory. These inventory purchases were in part attributable to the launch of our new and expanded women’s collections, which sales to date have been strong. Significant cash was also spent on the procurement of additional men’s inventory in anticipation of growth in our men’s business as a result of the addition of key wholesale accounts. However, our men’s business did not grow at the rates or over the timeframes projected in connection with these new wholesale accounts. At the same time, we did not see the expanded retail footprint previously projected with one of our key customers, Nordstrom, and instead Nordstrom reduced its replenishment as part of its plan to reduce in-store inventory levels. As a result of these factors, we have adjusted our capital projections.

 

Management intends to continue to raise funds from equity and debt financings to fund our operations and objectives. However, we cannot be certain that financing will be available on acceptable terms or available at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing debt or equity securities or through bank financing, our existing stockholders may experience significant dilution. If we are unable to raise funds when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to significantly scale back, or discontinue, our operations.

 

Factoring Arrangement with Wells Fargo

 

On June 14, 2016, we entered into a Joint Factoring Agreement (the “Joint Factoring Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”). The Factoring Agreement with Wells Fargo replaces a factoring agreement with Capital Business Credit LLC, which was terminated effective on the same date.

 

Under the terms of the Joint Factoring Agreement, we may assign eligible accounts receivable (the “Accounts”) to Wells Fargo in exchange for loans and advances (each such loan or advance, an “Advance”) up to an aggregate amount (the “Borrowing Base”) not to exceed the lesser of (i) $6,000,000 or (ii) the sum of up to 80% of trade receivables deemed eligible by Wells Fargo plus (A) the lesser of up to (x) 50% of the value, calculated at the lower of cost or market, of finished goods, warehoused inventory deemed eligible by Wells Fargo or (y) $500,000, plus (B) the lesser of (x) up to 75% of marketable securities held in a blocked security account, subject to an account control agreement in favor of Wells Fargo (the “Securities Account”); provided, however, that at any time when the market value of the securities held in such Securities Account is below $1,067,000, then the value of such securities for purposes of calculating the Borrowing Base will be $0 or (y) $200,000, less any reserves that Wells Fargo may establish from time to time. 

 

In connection with Wells Fargo’s services under the Joint Factoring Agreement, Wells Fargo receives a commission equal to the Factoring Commission Percentage (as defined in the Joint Factoring Agreement) multiplied by the gross invoice amount of each Account purchased, which is charged to the Company’s account on the date a related Advance is made. During the initial term of the Joint Factoring Agreement, Wells Fargo will receive minimum commissions equal to $24,000, $36,000 and $50,000 during the first, second and third year, respectively.

 

28 

 

 

We bear the risk of credit loss on the Accounts, except where Wells Fargo provides credit approval in writing on such Account. The Advances bear interest on the daily net balance of any moneys owed at a rate of LIBOR plus 3%. All obligations under the Joint Factoring Agreement, including the Advances (collectively, the “Obligations”), are payable on demand and may be charged by Wells Fargo to the Company’s account at any time.

 

At July 31, 2016, there was approximately $435,000 available for advance under the Joint Factoring Agreement.

 

The Obligations are secured by a continuing security interest in all assets, properties, and rights of the Company, wherever located, whether owned as of the date of the Joint Factoring Agreement or subsequent thereto. The term of the Joint Factoring Agreement is for three years and will automatically renew, unless terminated at any time by Wells Fargo with thirty days’ written notice, or by us prior to such renewal, with sixty days’ prior written notice.

Commitments and capital expenditures

 

We do not anticipate that we will expend any significant amount on capital expenditures like equipment over the next twelve months or enter into any other material commitments.

Disclosure of Outstanding Share Data

 

As of September 14, 2016, there were 6,069,982 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. In addition, at September 14, 2016, the total dilutive securities outstanding, including options, warrants and shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt instruments was approximately 3,775,097 shares.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States (“GAAP”). 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 management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.

 

There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting policies and estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2016 as filed with the SEC on April 29, 2016.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

For a description of new applicable accounting pronouncements, see Note 3, Basis of Presentation, of the Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off balance sheet arrangements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and are not required to provide the information under this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of July 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information 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.

 

Changes in Internal Control

 

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management's evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, 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. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

We are not presently a party to any material litigation, nor to the knowledge of management is any litigation threatened against us that may materially affect us.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

In addition to the information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should also carefully review and consider the risk factors contained in our other reports and periodic filings with the SEC, including without limitation the risk factors contained under the caption “Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2016 that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The risk factors discussed in that Form 10-K do not identify all risks that we face because our business operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. Except as provided below, there have been no material changes in the significant factors that may affect our business and operations as described in “Item 1A—Risk Factors” of the Annual Report on 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2016, as amended.

 

We are heavily reliant on factoring arrangements.

 

On June 14, 2016, we terminated the Factoring Agreement with Capital Business Credit LLC. On that same day, we entered into a new joint factoring agreement with Wells Fargo. We plan to utilize credit under such agreement whereby we may sell our accounts receivables for immediate payment of a portion of the invoice amount and, in some instances, the ability to take additional cash advances. At this time, we believe this will be a key source of financing for the Company. If Wells Fargo suffered financial difficulty, or our relationship with Wells Fargo deteriorated, this could significantly impact our liquidity.

 

If we are unable to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, we may have to curtail our growth or cease our development plans and operations.

 

The operation of our business and our growth efforts will require significant cash outlays. We are largely dependent on outside capital to implement our business plan and support our operations. We anticipate for the foreseeable future that cash on hand and cash generated from operations will not be sufficient to meet our cash requirements, and that we will need to raise additional capital through investments to fund our operations and growth. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional working capital as needed on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to raise capital as needed, we may be required to reduce the scope of our growth efforts, which could harm our business plans, financial condition and operating results, or cease our operations entirely, in which case, you may lose all your investment. Financings, including future equity investments, if obtained, may be on terms that are dilutive to our stockholders, and the prices at which new investors would be willing to purchase our securities may be lower than the price at which you purchase your shares.

 

As of July 31, 2016, the Company had cash totaling $736,406. The Company believes that it does not have sufficient capital to fund its operations through the fourth quarter ending January 31, 2017.

 

Investors should be aware that the value of an investment in our company may go down as well as up. In addition, there can be no certainty that the market value of an investment in our company will fully reflect its underlying value.
