events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, should, expects,
plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, potential or
continue or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These
statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled
Risk Factors beginning on page 8 of this report, that may cause our or our
industrys actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be
materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of
activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law,
including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update
any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual
results.
Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) unless
otherwise stated and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles.
In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all references to "common
shares" refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
As used in this annual report, the terms "we", "us", "our", means Panglobal
Brands Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Mynk Corporation unless otherwise
indicated.
Corporate Overview and History
We were incorporated on March 2, 2005, under the laws of the State of Delaware,
under the name EZ English Online Inc. Since incorporation we were engaged in
the development of an online teacher training course to teach English as a
second language. Our principal offices are located 2853 E. Pico Blvd. Los
Angeles, CA 90023, and our telephone number is (323) 266 -6500.
On July 3, 2006, our common stock was approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin
Board.
On February 2, 2007, we affected a forward stock split of our authorized and
issued and outstanding shares on a six-for-one basis. The forward split resulted
in the increase of our authorized capital from 100,000,000 shares of common
stock with a par value of $0.0001 to 600,000,000 shares of common stock with a
par value of $0.0001.
On February 2, 2007, we completed a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary
Panglobal Brands Inc. As a result, we changed our name from EZ English Online
Inc. to Panglobal Brands Inc. Our subsidiary was incorporated on January 22,
2007, specifically for the purpose of the merger. The six-for-one forward stock
split, merger and name change became effective with our listing on NASDAQs OTC
Bulletin Board on February 6, 2007 and our trading symbol was changed to PNGB.
On May 11, 2007, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Mynk
Corporation. Mynk is now our wholly-owned, operating subsidiary. With the
acquisition of Mynk, we changed our business focus to that of our newly acquired
subsidiary and are now engaged in the business of the design, production and
sale of clothing and accessories. We intend to acquire and create brands for the
contemporary apparel market in the U.S. and international markets.

Our Current Business
Business Strategy
Our strategy is to build a series of apparel brands, consisting of mainly
womens apparel, and to build brand recognition by marketing our products to
fashion conscious consumers who shop in high-end boutiques and department stores
and who want to wear and be seen in the latest and most fashionable clothing and
accessories. We plan to update our product offerings continually to be seen as a
trend setter in fashionable clothing and accessories. We also are targeting the
junior market and design, have manufactured and sell junior denim, t-shirts,
dresses and other apparel. Lastly, based upon our branded products, we expect to
be offered the opportunity to manufacture private label womens apparel
including dresses, skirts and knit and woven tops.
We operate all of our apparel businesses through our wholly-owned subsidiary,
Mynk Corporation.
Our brands are aggregated into three major consumer market product groupings:
Sosik, Scrapbook and Contemporary.
The major consumer product groups are as follows:
SOSIK - Sosik designs, merchandises
and sells junior t-shirts, dresses, skirts and knit and woven tops and other
apparel manufactured in Asia. Junior apparel includes clothing for girls ages
14-22 as well as products for children ages 6-14. Sales of Sosik include
products that will be sold under private labels and commenced in October, 2007
and shipments commenced in January 2008. Approximately 52% of our revenue for
our fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 related to Sosik. Customers include
Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, Wet Seal, Ross, J.C. Penney, and Tillys.
SCRAPBOOK - Scrapbook, Scrapbook
Originals and Crafty Couture trademarks were acquired June 18, 2008. The
Scrapbook labels are aimed at junior (teen and early 20s) higher-end
contemporary markets and are known for mix and match prints and comfortable knit
fabrics. Scrapbook products can be found at better department stores and
boutiques. Major customers include Nordstroms, Dillards, Macys, Forever 21
and Hot Topic. The Crafty Couture label is lower priced and aimed at a younger
market, specifically early through late teens.
The following three product lines have been consolidated into the Contemporary
Group.
TEA AND HONEY - Tea and Honey designs,
merchandises and sells womens mid-priced contemporary dresses. Tea and Honey is
a more casual look for women ages 22-35 with a vintage feel easily convertible
for wear by the working woman by day and for evening wear, as well. Tea and
Honey products commenced sales in June 2008. We have decided to cease producing
new styles of Tea and Honey effective January 1, 2010 and all sales subsequent
to that date will relate to sales of existing products
HAVEN and PRIVATE LABEL - Based upon
our branded products, we started offering Haven lower priced dresses with
success and are beginning to be offered the opportunity by major department
stores to design, merchandise and manufacture private label womens apparel
including dresses, skirts and knit and woven tops. Our Haven shipments commenced
July, 2008 and include customers such as Nordstrom, Bloomingdales and
Macys.
HAUTEUR MYNK - Hauteur Mynk is a
trademarked brand name which sold selling premium denim jeans, skirts, dresses
and shorts. Hauteur Mynk had sales during the prior fiscal year, but is
currently dormant and current inventory has been depleted. . The Company decided
that the premium denim market was saturated with brands and decided to place
Hauteur Mynk on hold.
In each of our product groups, we purchase finished goods from numerous contract
manufacturers and to a lesser extent raw materials directly from numerous textile
mills and yarn producers and converters. We have not experienced difficulty
in obtaining finished goods or raw materials essential to our business in any
of our apparel product groups.
- 6 -
We outsource our warehousing and shipping functions to a third party warehousing
company designed to ship apparel products for multiple companies.
We maintain a company website at www.panglobalbrand.com where examples of our
products can be seen.
Consulting Agreement for Sosik Product Group
On August 20, 2007 we signed a consulting agreement with Lolly Factory, Inc. and
its sole shareholder, the Consultant, to provide sales and merchandising
consulting services for the Sosik and Juniors apparel divisions through December
31, 2010. We and the Consultant established sales targets totaling $30.0 million
for calendar year 2008, $45.0 million for calendar year 2009 and $60.0 million
for calendar year 2010. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, the Consultant
could have earned up to 1,500,000 additional common shares of Panglobal Brands
Inc. according to the following schedule:
|
(i)
|
500,000 shares upon meeting the sales target for calendar
year 2008;
|
|
(ii)
|
500,000 shares upon meeting the sales target for calendar
year 2009; and,
|
|
(iii)
|
500,000 shares upon meeting the sales target for calendar
year 2010.
|
The sales target for calendar year 2008 was not met, and, we did not accrue an
expense for shares payable to the Consultant for that year. At June 30, 2009 we
had not accrued an expense for shares payable for meeting the sales target for
2009.
On August 19, 2009 the Company and Lolly Factory LLC agreed to terminate the
Consulting Agreement. As an inducement for early termination, the Company:
|
(a)
|
Compensated Lolly Factory LLC for 2009 commissions earned
for the difference between the original 3.5% commission rate and the revised
commission rate of 2.6% instituted this year. The company agreed to pay
50% of the difference, which amounts to $42,940 in Common shares of the
Company at a valuation of $0.20 per share. The amount of $42,940 was charged
to expense in the period ending September 30, 2009 and the Company will
issue 214,700 shares to Lolly Factory LLC. As of September 30, 2009 the
company has not issued Common shares to Lolly Factory, LLC.
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
Compensated Lolly Factory LLC in Common shares of the
company based upon the original sales targets set for 2008 and 2009. For
the calendar year 2008, Lolly Factory LLC had approximately $12.5 million
in net sales versus a target of $30.0 million and the Company agreed to
pro-rata compensate Lolly Factory LLC 207,500 shares and recorded an expense
of $18,675 for the period ending September 30, 2009. For the calendar
year 2009, the Company will calculate the net sales attributed to Lolly
Factory LLC and pro rate the number of shares due based upon a target
of $45.0 for the full year. Through September 30, 2009, Lolly Factory
LLC has approximately $9.6 million in net sales and the Company will issue
107,000 shares and recorded an expense of $10,300 in the period ending
September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2009 the company has not issued
Common shares to Lolly Factory, LLC.
|
Manufacturing
We outsource all of our manufacturing to third parties on an order-by-order
basis. These contract manufacturers are found in Asia, Mexico and the United
States and they will manufacture our garments on an order-by-order basis. We
believe that we will be able to meet our production needs in this way. Although
the various fabrics that we intend to use in the manufacture of our products
will be of the high quality, they are available from many suppliers in the
United States and abroad.
- 7 -
Employees
As of February 5, 2010, we have 48 full-time employees: two (2) are executive,
nine (9) are design staff, fourteen (14) are production staff, thirteen (13) are
sewing staff, three (3) are sales staff, four (4) are customer service and
shipping staff and three (3) are accounting/administration staff. None of our
employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement, and we believe that
our relations with our employees are good.
Quality Control
We intend to establish a quality control program to ensure that our products
meet our high quality standards. We intend to monitor the quality of our fabrics
prior to the production of garments and inspect prototypes of each product
before production runs commence. We also plan to perform random on-site quality
control checks during and after production before the garments leave the
contractor. We also plan to conduct final random inspections when the garments
are received in our distribution centers. We believe that our policy of
inspecting our products at our distribution centers and at the vendors
facilities will be important to maintain the quality, consistency and reputation
of our products.
Competition
The apparel industry is intensely competitive and fragmented. We compete against
other small companies like ours, as well as large companies that have a similar
business and large marketing companies, importers and distributors that sell
products similar to or competitive with ours.
We believe that our competitive strengths consist of the detailing of the
design, the quality of the fabric and the superiority of the fit.
Government Regulation and Supervision
Our operations are subject to the effects of international treaties and
regulations such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). We are also
subject to the effects of international trade agreements and embargoes by
entities such as the World Trade Organization. Generally, these international
trade agreements benefit our business rather than burden it because they tend to
reduce trade quotas, duties, taxes and similar impositions. However, these trade
agreements may also impose restrictions that could have an adverse impact on our
business, by limiting the countries from whom we can purchase our fabric or
other component materials, or limiting the countries where we might market and
sell our products.
Labelling and advertising of our products is subject to regulation by the
Federal Trade Commission. We believe that we are in compliance with these
regulations.
Information Systems
We believe that high levels of automation and technology are essential to
maintain our competitive position and support our strategic objectives and we
plan to invest in computer hardware, system applications and networks to provide
increased efficiencies and enhanced controls.
Trademarks
We own numerous trademarks for all of our brands including Sosik, Scrapbook,
Scrapbook Originals, Crafty Couture, Crafty by Scrapbook Tea and Honey, Haven,
Nela and have applications pending for the balance of our branded apparel
products.
Marketing
We market our products directly through our sales staff as well as through
showrooms which carry multiple lines of apparel products. In addition we attend
industry trade shows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Much of the information included in this annual report includes or is based upon
estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements. Such
forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and
our management in connection with our business operations. While these
forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are
made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of
our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from
any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions, or other future
performance suggested herein. We undertake no obligation to update
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after
the date of such statements.
Such estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements involve
various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution readers of this
annual report that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the
future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to
differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections
or other forward-looking statements. In evaluating us, our business and any
investment in our business, readers should carefully consider the following
factors.
Risks Related to our Business
Our continued operations depend on current fashion trends.
If our products and designs are not considered fashionable or desirable by
enough consumers, then our business could be adversely affected.
The acceptance by consumers of our products and design is important to our
success and competitive position, and the inability to continue to develop and
offer fashionable and desirable products to consumers could harm our business.
We cannot be certain that our high-fashion clothing and accessories will be
considered fashionable and desirable by enough consumers to make our operations
profitable. There are no assurances that our future designs will be successful,
and any unsuccessful designs could adversely affect our business. If we are
unable to respond to changing consumer demands in a timely and appropriate
manner, we may fail to establish or maintain our brand name and brand image.
Even if we react appropriately to changes in consumer preferences, consumers may
consider our brand image to be outdated or associate our brand with styles that
are no longer popular. Should trends veer away from our style of products and
designs, our business could be adversely affected.
We may be unable to achieve or sustain growth or manage our
future growth, which may have a material adverse effect on our future operating
results.
We cannot provide any assurances that our business plan will be successful and
that we will achieve profitable operations. Our future success will depend upon
various factors, including the strength of our brand image, the market success
of our current and future products, competitive conditions and our ability to
manage increased revenues, if any, or implement our growth strategy. In
addition, we anticipate significantly expanding our infrastructure and adding
personnel in connection with our anticipated growth, which we expect will cause
our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars
and which may cause our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase
as a percentage of revenue. Because these expenses are generally fixed,
particularly in the short-term, operating results may be adversely impacted if
we do not achieve our anticipated growth.
Future growth may place a significant strain on our management and operations.
If we experience growth in our operations, our operational, administrative,
financial and legal procedures and controls may need to be expanded. As a
result, we may need to train and manage an increasing number of employees, which
could distract our management team from our business. Our future success will
depend substantially on the ability of our management team to manage our
anticipated growth. If we are unable to anticipate or manage our growth
effectively, our operating results could be adversely affected.
We face intense competition, including competition from
companies with significantly greater resources than ours, and if we are unable
to compete effectively with these companies, our business could be harmed.
We face intense competition in the apparel industry from other, more established
companies. A number of our competitors have significantly greater financial,
technological, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution resources
than we do. Their greater capabilities in these areas may enable them to better
withstand periodic downturns in the apparel industry, compete more effectively
on the basis of price and production and to develop new products in less time.
In addition, new companies may enter the markets in which we compete, further
increasing competition in the apparel industry.
- 9 -
We believe that our ability to compete successfully depends on a number of
factors, including the style and quality of our products and the strength of our
brand name, as well as many factors beyond our control. We may not be able to
compete successfully in the future, and increased competition may result in
price reductions, reduced profit margins, loss of market share and an inability
to generate cash flows that are sufficient to maintain or expand our development
and marketing of new products, which would adversely impact the trading price of
our common stock.
Our business could suffer if our manufacturers do not meet
our demand or delivery schedules.
Although we design and market our products, we outsource manufacturing to third
party manufacturers. Outsourcing the manufacturing component of our business is
common in the apparel industry and we compete with other companies for the
production capacity of our manufacturers. Because we are a small enterprise and
many of the companies with which we compete have greater financial and other
resources than we have, they may have an advantage in the competition for
production capacity. There is no assurance that the manufacturing capacity we
require will be available to us, or that if available it will be available on
terms that are acceptable to us. If we cannot produce a sufficient quantity of
our products to meet demand or delivery schedules, our customers might reduce
demand, reduce the purchase price they are willing to pay for our products or
replace our product with the product of a competitor, any of which could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations.
Government regulation and supervision could restrict our
business and decrease our profitability.
Any negative changes to international trade agreements and regulations such as
the North American Free Trade Agreement or any agreements affecting
international trade such as those made by the World Trade Organization which
result in a rise in trade quotas, duties, taxes and similar impositions or which
has the result of limiting the countries from whom we can purchase our fabric or
other component materials, or limiting the countries where we might market and
sell our products, could decrease our profitability.
Increases in the price of raw materials or their reduced
availability could increase our cost of sales and decrease our profitability.
The principal fabrics used in our business are cotton, synthetics, wools and
blends. The prices we pay for these fabrics are dependent on the market price
for raw materials used to produce them, primarily cotton. The price and
availability of cotton may fluctuate significantly, depending on a variety of
factors, including crop yields, weather, supply conditions, government
regulation, economic climate and other unpredictable factors. Any raw material
price increases could increase our cost of sales and decrease our profitability
unless we are able to pass higher prices on to our customers. Moreover, any
decrease in the availability of cotton could impair our ability to meet our
production requirements in a timely manner.
If we are unable to enforce our intellectual property rights
or otherwise protect our intellectual property, then our business would likely
suffer.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to protect and
preserve any intellectual property we develop or acquire, including copyrights,
trademarks, patents, service marks, trade dress, trade secrets and similar intellectual
property. We rely on the intellectual property, patent, trademark and copyright
laws of the United States and other countries to protect our proprietary rights.
However, we may be unable to prevent third parties from using our intellectual
property without our authorization, particularly in those countries where the
laws do not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States.
The use of our intellectual property or similar intellectual property by others
could reduce or eliminate any competitive advantage we may develop, causing
us to lose sales or otherwise harm our business. We may need to bring legal
claims to enforce or protect such intellectual property rights. Any litigation,
whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversions
of resources.
- 10 -
In addition, notwithstanding the rights we have secured in our
intellectual property, other persons may bring claims against us that we have
infringed on their intellectual property rights or claims that our intellectual
property right interests are not valid. Any claims against us, with or without
merit, could be time consuming and costly to defend or litigate and therefore
could have an adverse affect on our business. If any of these risks arise, our
business would likely suffer.
We do not have sufficient
funds to ensure that we can continue our operations. If we do not obtain
sufficient cash, we will go out of business and our shareholders will lose their
entire investment in our company.
We rely on proceeds from sales and loans or the sales of equity in our Company
to acquire funds. There is no guarantee that we will be able to earn enough
proceeds from sales or borrow enough money or sell enough shares of our company
to continue to pay for our operations.
If we cannot fund all of our future operations through revenue, we may choose to
raise money through sales of our equity securities. However, many investors have
recently seen large decreases in the value of various investments due to
declining share prices across many economic sectors. Because of this and other
market factors, if we choose to raise funds through the sale of our equity
securities, potential investors may be less likely to buy our equity securities
or we may be need to sell our equity securities at low prices, resulting in
fewer proceeds. This would make it difficult for us to raise adequate amounts to
fund our operations through the sale of our equity securities.
If we are unable to fund all of our operations through revenues or the sale of
our equity securities, then we may choose to borrow money to pay for some of our
operations. A tightening of credit conditions has also been experienced in the
economy recently. Because of the recent credit crisis, it is possible that we
would not be able to borrow adequate amounts to fund our operations on terms and
at rates of interest we find acceptable and in the best interests of our
company.
If we cannot fund our planned operations from revenue, the sale of our equity
securities or through incurring debt on acceptable terms, then we will likely
have to scale down or cease our operations. If we scale down our operations, our
share price would likely decrease and if we cease our operations, shareholders
will lose their entire investment in our company.
The recent weakening of economic conditions in the U.S. and
around the world could have harmful effects on our business. If these harmful
effects cause us to scale down our operations, then our share price will likely
decrease. If these harmful effects cause us to cease our operations, then our
shareholders will likely lose their entire investment in our company.
The recent weakening of economic conditions in the U.S. and around the world,
including in the financial services and real estate industries, could have
harmful effects on our business. Weakening economic conditions generally lead to
less money being spent on clothing across the industry as a whole. Competition
for these limited resources will likely become more intense. If consumers spend
less and do not choose to spend their limited funds on our clothes, we will earn
less revenue and we will not be able to fund our future operations through
revenues from sales. If we have to cease our operations, then our shareholders
will likely lose their entire investment in our company
.
The recent weakening of economic conditions in the U.S. and
around the world could have harmful effects on the operations of our customers
and suppliers and the confidence of end consumers, all of which could cause our
operations to suffer and our revenues to decrease.
Some of our customers or suppliers could experience serious cash flow problems
due to the current economic situation. If our customers or suppliers attempt
increase their prices, pass through increased costs, alter payment terms or
seek other relief, our business may suffer from decreased sales to final consumers
or increased costs to us. If any of our vendors or suppliers go out of business,
we may not be able to replace them with other companies of the same quality
and level of service. If the quality of our products and promptness of delivery
deteriorates as a result, our revenue will likely decrease as retailers and
consumers would be less likely to choose our products out of those available
to them.
- 11 -
We do not expect that the difficult economic conditions are likely to improve
significantly in the near future, and further deterioration of the economy, and
even consumer fear that the economy will deteriorate further, could intensify
the adverse effects of these difficult market conditions.
We have a high concentration of sales to a number of key
department stores across all of our divisions. Loss of one of these key
customers would take time to replace and have a short term adverse impact on our
results of operations.
During the year ended September 30, 2009 sales to four customers accounted for
16.6%, 14.6%, 9.7% and 7.0% of our net sales. The acceptance by consumers of
our products and design is important to our success and competitive position,
and the loss of one of these key customers would have a short-term adverse impact
on our results from operations.
Risks Related to Our Company
We lack an operating history and have losses which we expect
to continue into the future. We have incurred a loss from operations and
negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance our future
operations will result in profitable revenues. If we cannot generate sufficient
revenues to operate profitably, we may suspend or cease operations.
As of September 30, 2009, our accumulated losses since inception amount to
$19,378,987. In its audit report dated February 12, 2010, our auditors stated
that we have incurred losses from operations and we have negative working
capital, stockholders (deficit) equity and negative cash flows from operations
which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
We will continue to incur expenses and may incur operating losses in the future.
We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in becoming or remaining
profitable in the future. Failure to become and remain profitable would cause us
to go out of business.
Our management found the following weaknesses in our
disclosure controls and procedures, which could result in accidental or
intentional misstatements. If any of these things happen, we and our investors
may lose money.
There is not adequate division or segregation of duties in our accounting
department that has three staff members, which includes the Chief Financial
Officer. Therefore our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent
accidental or intentional misstatements. This could cause our financial
reporting to be in error and to cause investors to make decisions based on
incorrect information. It could also cause us extra expense in having the
financial and disclosure documents redone and refilled. It also could allow
someone in the company to embezzle or improperly use funds. If any of these
things happen, then our company and our investors may lose money.
Risks Related to Our Securities
Our stock price is highly volatile and stockholders may be
unable to sell their shares, or may be forced to sell them at a loss.
The trading price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly since our
incorporation (March 2, 2005), and is likely to remain volatile in the future.
The trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in
response to many events or factors, including the following:
-
quarterly variations in our operating results;
-
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;
-
changes in market valuations or financial results of apparel companies;
-
announcements by us or our competitors of new products, or significant
acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures;
-
any deviation from projected growth rates in revenues;
- 12 -
-
any loss of a major customer or a major customer order;
-
additions or departures of key management or design personnel;
-
any deviations in our net revenue or in losses from levels expected by
securities analysts;
-
activities of short sellers and risk arbitrageurs; and,
-
future sales of our common stock.
The equity markets have, on occasion, experienced significant price and volume
fluctuations that have affected the market prices for many companies' securities
and that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these
companies. Any such fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our
common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. As a result,
stockholders may be unable to sell their shares, or may be forced to sell them
at a loss.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission imposes
additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in our shares which
are penny stocks, some brokers may be unwilling to trade them. This means that
you may have difficulty reselling your shares and this may cause the price of
the shares to decline.
Our shares are classified as penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Rules which impose additional sales
practice requirements on brokers/dealers who sell our securities in this
offering or in the aftermarket. For sales of our securities, the broker/dealer
must make a special suitability determination and receive from you a written
agreement prior to making a sale for you. Because of the imposition of the
foregoing additional sales practices, it is possible that brokers will not want
to make a market in our shares. This could prevent you from reselling your
shares and may cause the price of the shares to decline.
We do not intend to pay dividends and there will be less
ways in which you can make a gain on any investment in our company.
We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any
dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional
funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources
may likely prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not intend to
declare dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come
through appreciation of the stocks price.
The recent weakening of economic conditions in the U.S. and
around the world could have harmful effects on the operations of our customers
and suppliers and the confidence of end consumers, all of which could cause our
operations to suffer and our revenues to decrease.
Some of our customers or suppliers could experience serious cash flow problems
due to the current economic situation. If our customers or suppliers attempt
increase their prices, pass through increased costs, alter payment terms or seek
other relief, our business may suffer from decreased sales to final consumers or
increased costs to us. If any of our vendors or suppliers go out of business, we
may not be able to replace them with other companies of the same quality and
level of service. If the quality of our products and promptness of delivery
deteriorates as a result, our revenue will likely decrease as retailers and
consumers would be less likely to choose our products out of those available to
them.
We do not expect that the difficult economic conditions are likely to improve
significantly in the near future, and further deterioration of the economy, and
even consumer fear that the economy will deteriorate further, could intensify
the adverse effects of these difficult market conditions.
Our management beneficially own approximately 15% of the
shares of common stock may be able to control matters requiring approval by our
stockholders. The interests of management could conflict with those of other
investors, which could cause investors to lose all or part of their investments
in our company.
As of September 30, 2009, our directors and officers as a group beneficially
owned approximately 15% of our outstanding common stock. Therefore, our directors
and officers may be able to control matters requiring approval by our stockholders.
Matters that require the approval of our stockholders include the election of
directors and the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions.
Our directors and officers also have control over our management and affairs.
- 13 -
As a result of such control, certain transactions are effectively
not possible without the approval of our directors and officers, including,
proxy contests, tender offers, open market purchase programs or other transactions
that could give our stockholders the opportunity to realize a premium over the
then-prevailing market prices for their shares of our common stock. If the interests
of our directors and officers conflict with those of our investors, investors
could lose some or all of the potential benefit of their investment.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Our executive and head office is located at 2853 E. Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, CA.
This operating facility functions as our main operating facility and is adequate
for our needs.
Commencing October 1, 2007, we leased 499 square feet for three years as a sales
showroom for our Sosik division at California Market Center, 110 East Ninth
Street, Suite A0823, Los Angeles, CA 90079.
Commencing November 1, 2007, we leased 2,609 square feet for 5 years as a sales
showroom for our Nela/Mynk/Tea and Honey divisions at 250 West 39th Street, New
York, New York. We closed this sales showroom in July, 2009.

New York, New York.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Other than as described below, we know of no material, existing or pending legal
proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any
material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any
of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial
stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our
interest. The outcome of open unresolved legal proceedings is presently
indeterminable. Any settlement resulting from resolution of these contingencies
will be accounted for in the period of settlement. We do not believe the
potential outcome from these legal proceedings will significantly impact our
financial position, operations or cash flows.
On September 19, 2008 Mynk Corporation, our wholly-owned subsidiary, sued
Delias Inc., a customer in the Superior Court of the State of California, for
goods shipped, but unpaid, in the amount of $604,081. On January 26, 2010 the
Company and Delias agreed to a monetary settlement and signed a confidentiality
agreement.

September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively. The decrease in current
assets is primarily due to the decrease in inventory and management of factor
collections resulting in a lower amount of funds due from the factor.

at September 30, 2009. Current assets decreased as inventory was decreased and
due from factor decreased based on strong collections but we were unable to

As of September 30, 2009, we had $16,932 in cash. As a result of our plans to
reduce costs, we estimate that we will require $6,200,000 to carry out our
planned operations over the next 12 months. We have been able to decrease our
future operating expenses by consolidating staff positions, by terminating our
agreement with Lolly Factory LLC, and by dropping the Haven and Tea and Honey
product lines. In addition, we need to decrease our Accounts Payable by $1.0
million with our product vendors. We expect that most of those expenses will be
paid by the money we receive from our net sales. However, the current weakness
of the U.S. and world economies could have harmful effects on our business. This
year, we expect consumers to spend less money on clothing than they have spent
in recent years. Competition for these limited expenditures will likely become
more intense. If consumers spend less and do not choose to spend their limited
funds on our clothes, we will earn less revenue and we will not be able to fund
our future operations through revenues from sales. Further, we have $3.6 million
in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and vendors are beginning to shorten
credit terms and demand paydown of accounts payable, which we may be unable to
do without significant profitability or injection of new equity or debt capital.
If we are unable to pay for our operations with our revenues, we will need to
raise money by the sale of additional equity or debt securities or by borrowing
money.
There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when
needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable
terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis,
we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will
be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as
the continuation of our business is dependent upon a combination of our ability
to obtain further long-term financing, the successful and sufficient market
acceptance of any product offerings that we may introduce, the continuing
successful development of our product offerings, and, finally, our ability to
achieve a profitable level of operations. At this time, we have a backlog for
shipments of our products sales orders in excess $7.5 million for shipments
through June 2010. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could
result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current
stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be
available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Debt
On March 3, 2008, we entered into a Revolving Loan Agreement with two of our
shareholders. The loan allows us to borrow and repay, on a revolving basis,
up to an outstanding amount of $750,000. The outstanding principal balance of
the Loan bears interest, payable monthly, at a rate of 8% per annum. The Loan
was due to be repaid in full by November 30, 2008. On April 9, 2009 we agreed
to convert $375,000 plus accrued interest to April 30, 2009 into our common
stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share. In addition, we agreed to issue
one warrant to purchase one Common share for every two shares to be issued at
an exercise price of $0.25 per warrant exercisable for twelve months. The conversion
is effective April 30, 2009 and we authorized the issuance of 4,025,000 shares
of Common stock and 2,125,000 warrants.
On January 16, 2009 we entered into a revolving loan agreement with Providence
Wealth Management Ltd, a British Virgin Islands company, whereby Providence
agreed to loan us the aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000 for general
corporate purposes. The first advance of $700,000 occurred on January 16, 2009
and a second advance of $300,000 occurred on January 27, 2009. The loan may be
converted at any time after the first advance and before the maturity date into
our companys shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share.
In addition, we agreed to issue one warrant to purchase one Common share for
every two shares to be issued at an exercise price of $0.25 per warrant
exercisable for twelve months. On April 9, the borrower converted $187,500 of
the loan plus accrued interest to April 30, 2009 into our common shares.
On June 15, 2009, the Company entered into a convertible loan agreement, dated
for reference April 9, 2009, with 15 new lenders, whereby the lenders agreed
to loan the Company the aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000 bearing interest
at 9% per annum, compounded and payable bi-annually, on the outstanding principal,
and repayable on or before April 30, 2011. At the same time, the remaining outstanding
balance of US$1,187,500 under loan agreements with Sinecure Holdings Limited,
Peter Hough and Providence Wealth Management Ltd., (see above) was conformed
from the terms of those previous loan agreements to the same terms as the June
15, 2009 convertible loan agreement under the Pari Passu and Loan Modification
Agreement described below.
- 17 -
On November 24, 2009, we entered into a loan agreement with Providence Wealth
Management Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin
Islands, whereby Providence agreed to loan our company the aggregate principal
amount of US$290,000 bearing interest 9% per annum calculated and compounded
monthly, payable in full 30 days after advance, unless sooner prepaid or
accelerated upon. As of February 12, 2010, the loan has not been repaid.
As security for the Loan, we entered into a Trade-Mark Assignment Agreement
dated November 24, 2009, with Providence whereby we will assign to Providence
all of our right, title and interest to the Scrapbook trademark as a secured
charge behind Merchant Factors Inc.
On January 29, 2010, we entered into a loan agreement with Charles Lesser, an
officer of the Company, whereby Mr. Lesser agreed to loan our company the
aggregate principal amount of US$260,000 bearing interest 9% per annum
calculated and compounded monthly, payable in full 30 days after advance, unless
sooner prepaid or accelerated upon.
As security for the Loan, we entered into a Security Agreement January 29, 2010,
with Charles Lesser whereby we granted a security interest in the trademarks
Crafty Couture and Crafty by Scrapbook behind the interest of Merchant
Factors Inc.
The Year Ended September 30, 2009 Compared to the Year Ended

sales orders in excess $7.5 million for shipments through June, 2010. With the
addition of Scrapbook, our sales mix is changing. Approximately 29% of these
orders are for Sosik products including skirts and knit and woven tops, 56% are
for Scrapbook apparel, and the balance is for contemporary brands. Our Sosik
products are sold through in-house sales staff and we have corporate sales
showrooms in Los Angeles and New York. Our Scrapbook apparel is sold through
in-house sales staff and independent sales showrooms in Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta
and Miami. Our Haven/Tea and Honey products are sold through contract outside
sales showrooms in Los Angeles earning sales commissions of 10-12%.

Off Balance-Sheet Arrangements
The Company uses a factor for credit administration and cash flow purposes.
Under the factoring agreement, the factor purchases a portion of the Companys
domestic wholesale sales invoices and assumes most of the credit risks with
respect to such accounts for a charge of 0.75% of the gross invoice amount.
The Company can draw cash advances from the factor based on a pre-determined
percentage, which is 75% of eligible outstanding accounts receivable. The factor
holds as security substantially all assets of the Company and charges interest
at a rate of prime plus 1.0% on the outstanding advances. Effective October
27, 2008, the interest charge was increased to prime plus 2%. At March 31, 2008,
the Company had cash account in the amount of $400,000 with the factor to be
used as collateral for the loans advanced. On May 5, 2008 the cash collateral
was reduced to $300,000. The Company is liable to the factor for merchandise
disputes and customer claims on receivables sold to the factor. The factoring
agreement expired on March 4, 2009, but was automatically renewed for one additional
year.
At times, our customers place orders that exceed the credit that they have available
from the factor. We evaluate those orders to consider if the customer is worthy
of additional credit based on our past experience with the customer. If we decide
to sell merchandise to the customer on credit, we take the credit risk for the
amounts that are above their approved credit limit with the factor. As of September
30, 2009, the amount of Due from Factor for which we bear the credit risk is
$76,976.
- 19 -
For the year ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company paid a total of
approximately $304,443 and $73,515, respectively, of interest to the factor
which is reported as a component of interest expense in the consolidated
statements of income. Due from factor, net of reserve for chargebacks and
estimated sales returns as presented in the balance sheet at September 30, 2009
and September 30, 2008 is summarized below:

Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United
States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue,
and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by managements
application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and
nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of
our consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of our
financials.
Revenues
Revenue from product sales is recognized as title passes to the customer upon
shipment. Sales returns and allowances for the year ended September 30, 2009
totaled $2,424,539, approximately 10% of sales. We have accrued an additional
$315,000 as of September 30, 2009 for estimated chargebacks and sales
returns.
Stock-Based Compensation
The cost of employee services received in exchange for equity awards are based
on the grant date fair value of the awards, with the cost to be recognized as
compensation expense in our financial statements over the period of
benefit, which is generally the vesting period of the awards.
The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to
non-employees based on the fair value of the stock compensation at the
measurement date as determined at either (a) the date at which a performance
commitment is reached or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance to
earn the equity instruments is complete.
Concentration of Credit Risks
During the year ended September 30, 2009 sales to four customers accounted for
16.6%, 14.6%, 9.7% and 7.0% of the Companys net sales. During the year ended
September 30, 2009, purchases from one supplier totaled $7,788,000, or 41% of
the cost of sales.
- 20 -
Accounts Receivable
The Company extends credit to customers whose sales invoices have not been sold
to our factor based upon an evaluation of the customers financial condition and
credit history and generally require no collateral. Management performs regular
evaluations concerning the ability of our customers to satisfy their obligations
and records a provision for doubtful accounts based on these evaluations. Based
on historical losses, existing economic conditions and collection practices, our
allowance for doubtful accounts has been estimated to be $650,000 at September
30, 2009. The Companys credit losses for the periods presented have not
significantly exceeded managements estimates.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined by the
first-in, first-out method. We continually evaluate our inventories by assessing
slow moving product as well as prior seasons inventory. Market value of
non-current inventory is estimated based on historical sales trends for each
category of inventory of our companys individual product lines, the impact of
market trends, an evaluation of economic conditions and the value of current
orders relating to the future sales of this type of inventory. At September 30,
2009, inventories consisted of finished goods, work-in-process and raw
materials.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and
improvements that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are
capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred. When assets are retired or sold, the property accounts and related
accumulated depreciation and amortization accounts are relieved, and any
resulting gain or loss is included in operations.
Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method based on the estimated
useful lives of the assets of five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized
over the remaining life of the related lease, which has been determined to be
shorter than the useful life of the asset.
Convertible Notes Payable
Three notes were modified on June 15, 2009 to conform to a new financing repayable
on or before April 30, 2011. The notes are now convertible into common shares
at $.10 per share and when converted the company will issue warrants equal to
one half of the shares converted exercisable at $0.15 per share for a period
of 24 months. These features gave rise to the assignment of value to the warrants
and beneficial conversion feature, which is accounted for as discount on the
notes and an increase to additional paid in capital. The value of the warrants
were determined by the Black Scholes option pricing method using the current
stock price, exercise price of the warrants, volatility of 210% and a risk free
interest rate of 1.1%. The Beneficial conversion feature value was set at its
intrinsic value after consideration of the relative value of the warrants and
the notes. The discount is being amortized on the interest method over the life
of the loan.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Effective July 1, 2009, the FASB ASC became the single official source of
authoritative, nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The historical U.S. GAAP hierarchy was
eliminated and the ASC became the only level of authoritative U.S. GAAP, other
than guidance issued by the SEC. The Companys accounting policies were not
affected by the conversion to ASC. However, references to specific accounting
standards in the notes to our consolidated financial statements have been
changed to refer to the appropriate section of the ASC.
In April 2008, the FASB issued a pronouncement on what now is codified as FASB
ASC Topic 350,
Intangibles Goodwill and Other
. This pronouncement
amends the factors to be considered in determining the useful life of intangible
assets accounted for pursuant to previous topic guidance. Its intent is to improve
the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset and the period
of expected cash flows used to measure its fair value. This Company will be
required to adopt this pronouncement on October 1, 2009. The adoption of this
standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
- 21 -
In June 2008, the FASB amended FASB Topic ASC 815, Sub-Topic 40, "Contracts in
Entitys Own Equity to clarify how to determine whether certain instruments or
features were indexed to an entity's own stock under ASC Topic 815. The
amendment applies to any freestanding financial instrument (or embedded feature)
that has all of the characteristics of a derivative, for purposes of determining
whether that instrument (or embedded feature) qualifies for the scope exception.
It is also applicable to any freestanding financial instrument (e.g., gross
physically settled warrants) that is potentially settled in an entity's own
stock, regardless of whether it has all of the characteristics of a derivative,
for purposes of determining whether to apply ASC 815. The Company will be
required to adopt this pronouncement on October 1, 2009. The Company has not
determined the extent that the adoption of this standard will have on its
financial statements for the quarter ending December 31, 2009 and afterwards.
In April 2009, the FASB issued a pronouncement on what is now codified as FASB
ASC Topic 805
, Business Combinations
. This pronouncement provides new
guidance that changes the accounting treatment of contingent assets and
liabilities in business combinations under previous topic guidance. This
pronouncement will be effective for the Company for any business combinations
that occur on or after October 1, 2009
In April 2009, the FASB issued a pronouncement on what is now codified as FASB
ASC Topic 825,
Financial Instruments
. This pronouncement amends previous
topic guidance to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments
for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies, as well as in annual
financial statements. The pronouncement was effective for interim reporting
periods ending after June 15, 2009 and its adoption did not have any significant
effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 805
Business Combinations
and 810
Consolidation
(ASC 810), which require that ownership interests in
subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, and the amount of
consolidated net income, be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the
consolidated financial statements. ASC 805 and ASC 810 also require that once a
subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non-controlling equity investment in
the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. Sufficient
disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between the
interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. ASC 805
and ASC 810 amend ASC 260 to provide that the calculation of earnings per share
amounts in the consolidated financial statements will continue to be based on
the amounts attributable to the parent. ASC 805 and ASC 810 are effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those
fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and require retroactive
adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority
interests. All other requirements are applied prospectively. The Company adopted
ASC 805 and ASC 810 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not
have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued a pronouncement on what is now codified as FASB ASC
Topic 855,
Subsequent Events
. This pronouncement establishes general
standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the
balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are
available to be issued. FASB ASC Topic 855 provides guidance on the period after
the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should
evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity
should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date
in its financial statements and the disclosures that an entity should make about
events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The
pronouncement was effective for the Company during the annual period ended
September 30, 2009. The Company has evaluated subsequent events for the period
from September 30, 2009, the date of these financial statements, through
February XX, 2010, which represents the date these financial statements are
filed with the SEC.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 810-10, "
Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R)
" (ASC 810-10). ASC 810-10 is intended to (1) address
the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December
2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as a result
of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in ASC 860-20,
and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions
of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures
under the Interpretation do not always provided timely and useful information
about an enterprise's involvement in a variable interest entity. This statement
will be effective for the Company on October 1, 2010. The Company does not expect
the adoption of 810-10 to have a material impact on its results of operations,
financial condition or cash flows.
- 22 -
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its
Emerging Issues Task Force), and the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission did not or are not believed to have a material impact on the
Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders
Panglobal Brands Inc. and Subsidiary
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets
of Panglobal Brands Inc. and Subsidiary as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and
the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders (deficit)
and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of
its internal controls over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration
of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Panglobal Brands Inc. and Subsidiary as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended
in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has been dependent
on debt and equity financing, has incurred losses from operations and has negative
working capital, a stockholders (deficit) and negative cash flows from
operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described
in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PANGLOBAL BRANDS INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization and Nature of Operations
EZ
English Online Corp, a Delaware corporation (EZ English), was incorporated
in the State of Delaware on March 2, 2005. EZ English sold common stock pursuant
to a registration statement on Form SB-2 declared effective by the Securities
and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2006, and raised gross proceeds of approximately
$85,000. Through September 30, 2006, EZ English was a development stage company
offering a teacher training course to teach English as a second language over
the Internet.
Beginning
in December 2006, in conjunction with a new controlling shareholder acquiring
approximately 79% of the issued and outstanding common shares, EZ English began
a program to discontinue its existing business operations and prepare to enter
the fashion industry. On February 2, 2007, in order to better reflect its future
business operations and prepare for its acquisition of Mynk Corporation, a privately-held
Nevada corporation (Mynk), EZ English completed a merger with its
wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary, in order to effect a name change to Panglobal
Brands Inc. (Panglobal). Mynk was incorporated in Nevada on February
3, 2006 to engage in the business of design, manufacture and distribution of
clothing and accessories throughout the United States and Canada.
Unless
the context indicates otherwise, Panglobal and Mynk are hereinafter referred
to as the Company.
The
Company has one segment sells its apparel products through a network of wholesale
accounts.
2. Business Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Going Concern and Plan of Operations
The
Companys consolidated financial statements have been presented on the
basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets
and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company
has incurred substantial losses from operations and has negative working capital,
a stockholders (deficit) equity at September 30, 2009, and has incurred negative
cash flows from operating activities. In addition, the Company has been dependent
upon debt and equity financing which raises substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern. The Companys ability to continue as a
going concern is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations
and continue to raise capital through debt or equity financing, to which there
is no guarantee. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
The
Company has undertaken a number of specific steps to achieve profitable operations
in the future. These actions include elimination of highly compensated individuals,
streamlining operations, termination of the agreement with Lolly Factory LLC,
reduction of personnel costs, deciding to eliminate the contemporary dress product
group in 2010, concentrating on higher margin lines of business, better margin
customers and reducing returns and allowances by examining allowances offered.
In addition, management will continue to search for additional debt and equity
financing.
Principles of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements
of Panglobal Brands, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mynk Corporation.
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
F-7
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses
during the reporting period. Significant estimates include depreciation and
the allowance for doubtful accounts and factor receivables, asset impairment,
valuation of warrants and options, inventory valuation, and the determination
of revenue and costs. We base our estimates on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The
fair value of the financial instruments disclosed herein is not necessarily
representative of the amount that could be realized or settled, nor does the
fair value amount consider the tax consequences of realization or settlement.
For
certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, due from
factor, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the Company estimates that the
carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the nature of the assets
and short- term maturities of the obligations. The carrying value of short-term
and long-term convertible notes approximate fair value due to the short time
period to maturity (long-term notes terms do not exceed five years.)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At times, such cash
and cash equivalents may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not
experienced a loss in such accounts to date. The Company maintains its accounts
with financial institutions with high credit ratings. The cash held by the factor
is not included in cash and cash equivalents (see Note 5).
Accounts Receivable
The
Company extends credit to customers whose sales invoices have not been sold
to our factor based upon an evaluation of the customers financial condition
and credit history and generally require no collateral. Management performs
regular evaluations concerning the ability of our customers to satisfy their
obligations and records a provision for doubtful accounts based on these evaluations.
Based on existing economic conditions and collection practices, the Companys
allowance for doubtful accounts has been estimated to be $650,000 and $544,000
at September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risks
During
the year ended September 30, 2009 sales to four customers accounted for 16.6%,
14.6%, 9.7% and 7.0%of the Companys net sales. During the year ended September
30, 2009, purchases from one supplier totaled $7,788,000, or 41% of the cost
of sales. During the year ended September 30, 2008 three customers accounted
for 22.0%, 19.7% and 12.4%, respectively.
Inventory
Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined by the
first-in, first-out method. The Company continually evaluates its inventories
by assessing slow-moving product and records mark-downs as appropriate. At September
30, 2009 and 2008, inventories consisted of finished goods, work-in-process
and raw materials.
F-8
Property and Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements
that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures
for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets
are retired or sold, the property accounts and related accumulated depreciation
and amortization accounts are relieved, and any resulting gain or loss is included
in operations.
Depreciation
is computed on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives
of the assets of five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the remaining
life of the related lease, which has been determined to be shorter than the
useful life of the asset.
Trademarks and Intangibles
Trademarks
and intangibles (including trademarks) with indefinite lives are not amortized,
but instead tested for impairment. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment
annually or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the
carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized
if future cash flows of the related assets are less than their carrying values.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles
Long-lived
assets, including purchased intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured
by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows
expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired,
the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed
of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs
to sell. Management has considered the net losses incurred for the years ended
September30, 2009 and 2008 and has concluded that there is no impairment of
long lived assets or intangibles at September 30, 2009 and 2008.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of merchandise to its wholesale accounts
when products are shipped and the customer takes title and assumes the risk
of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is reasonably assured, pervasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or otherwise
determinable. Sales allowances are recorded as a reduction to revenue. Management
has evaluated the effects of estimating and accruing for sales returns in the
current and prior periods and provides for an estimated allowance for returns.
Design and Development
Design
and development costs related to the development of new products are expensed
as incurred.
Advertising
The
Company expenses advertising costs, consisting primarily of placement in publications,
along with design and printing costs of sales materials when incurred. Advertising
expense for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $1,515 and
$39,886, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The
Company records shipping and handling costs billed to customers in selling and
shipping expenses. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company for inbound
freight are recorded in cost of sales and costs for outbound freight are recorded
in selling and shipping expenses. Total shipping and handling costs amounted
to $186,874 and $147,725for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
F-9
Stock-Based Compensation
The
Company grants stock options to employees and stock options and warrants to
non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing
costs. All grants are recorded at fair value at the grant date. The Company
utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine fair value. The
resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period
in which the Company expects to receive benefit, which is generally the vesting
period.
Income Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach whereby
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts
of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes
the enactment date. The Company will provide a valuation allowance for the full
amount of the deferred tax asset since there is no assurance of future taxable
income.
The
Company recognizes a tax benefit associated with an uncertain tax position when,
in managements judgment, it is more likely than not that the position
will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. For a tax position
that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company initially
and subsequently measures the tax benefit as the largest amount that it judges
to have a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement
with a taxing authority. The liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits
is adjusted periodically due to changing circumstances, such as the progress
of tax audits, case law developments and new or emerging legislation. Such adjustments
are recognized entirely in the period in which they are identified. The effective
tax rate includes the net impact of changes in the liability for unrecognized
tax benefits and subsequent adjustments as considered appropriate by management.
Loss per Common Share
Loss
per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective periods. Basic and
diluted loss per common share are the same for all periods presented because
all warrants and stock options outstanding are anti-dilutive. The related party
loans continues to be convertible to common shares and are not repaid at September
30, 2009, but the conversion is anti-dilutive.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Effective
July 1, 2009, the FASB ASC became the single official source of authoritative,
nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The historical U.S. GAAP hierarchy was eliminated
and the ASC became the only level of authoritative U.S. GAAP, other than guidance
issued by the SEC. The Companys accounting policies were not affected
by the conversion to ASC. However, references to specific accounting standards
in the notes to our consolidated financial statements have been changed to refer
to the appropriate section of the ASC.
In
April 2008, the FASB issued a pronouncement on what now is codified as FASB
ASC Topic 350,
Intangibles Goodwill and Other
. This pronouncement
amends the factors to be considered in determining the useful life of intangible
assets accounted for pursuant to previous topic guidance. Its intent is to improve
the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset and the period
of expected cash flows used to measure its fair value. This Company will be
required to adopt this pronouncement on October 1, 2009. The adoption of this
standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
In
June 2008, the FASB amended FASB Topic ASC 815, Sub-Topic 40, "Contracts in
Entitys Own Equity to clarify how to determine whether certain instruments
or features were indexed to an entity's own stock under ASC Topic 815. The amendment
applies to any freestanding financial instrument (or embedded feature) that
has all of the characteristics of a derivative, for purposes of determining
whether that instrument (or embedded feature) qualifies for the scope exception.
F-10
It is also applicable to any freestanding financial instrument
(e.g., gross physically settled warrants) that is potentially settled in an
entity's own stock, regardless of whether it has all of the characteristics
of a derivative, for purposes of determining whether to apply ASC 815. The Company
will be required to adopt this pronouncement on October 1, 2009. The Company
has not determined the extent that the adoption of this standard will have on
its financial statements for the quarter ending December 31, 2009 and afterwards.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued a pronouncement on what is now codified as FASB
ASC Topic 805
, Business Combinations
. This pronouncement provides new
guidance that changes the accounting treatment of contingent assets and liabilities
in business combinations under previous topic guidance. This pronouncement will
be effective for the Company for any business combinations that occur on or
after October 1, 2009
In
April 2009, the FASB issued a pronouncement on what is now codified as FASB
ASC Topic 825,
Financial Instruments
. This pronouncement amends previous
topic guidance to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments
for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies, as well as in annual
financial statements. The pronouncement was effective for interim reporting
periods ending after June 15, 2009 and its adoption did not have any significant
effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 805
Business Combinations
and 810
Consolidation
(ASC 810), which require
that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent,
and the amount of consolidated net income, be clearly identified, labeled and
presented in the consolidated financial statements. ASC 805 and ASC 810 also
require that once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non-controlling
equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value.
Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between
the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners.
ASC 805 and ASC 810 amend ASC 260 to provide that the calculation of earnings
per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements will continue to
be based on the amounts attributable to the parent. ASC 805 and ASC 810 are
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods
within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and require
retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing
minority interests. All other requirements are applied prospectively. The Company
adopted ASC 805 and ASC 810 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard
did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial
statements.
In
May 2009, the FASB issued a pronouncement on what is now codified as FASB ASC
Topic 855,
Subsequent Events
. This pronouncement establishes general
standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance
sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to
be issued. FASB ASC Topic 855 provides guidance on the period after the balance
sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events
or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the
financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize
events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial
statements and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions
that occurred after the balance sheet date. The pronouncement was effective
for the Company during the annual period ended September 30, 2009. The Company
has evaluated subsequent events for the period from September 30, 2009, the
date of these financial statements, through February 12, 2010, which represents
the date these financial statements are filed with the SEC.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 810-10, "
Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R)
" (ASC 810-10). ASC 810-10 is intended to (1) address
the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December
2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as a result
of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in ASC 860-20,
and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions
of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures
under the Interpretation do not always provided timely and useful information
about an enterprise's involvement in a variable interest entity. This statement
will be effective for the Company on October 1, 2010. The Company does not expect
the adoption of 810-10 to have a material impact on its results of operations,
financial condition or cash flows.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging
Issues Task Force), and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
did not or are not believed to have a material impact on the Company's present
or future consolidated financial statements.
F-11
3. Private Placements
On
July 11, 2008, the Company closed a private placement, selling 8,000,000 shares
of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share for proceeds of $4,000,000. The
Company issued 560,000 shares pursuant to the exemption from registration under
the United States Securities Act of 1933 provided by Section 4(2), Section 4(6)

Share Purchase Agreements
On
May 11, 2007, Craig Soller and David Long, two consultants to the Company, acquired
the beneficial rights to 125,000 shares and 100,000 shares of common stock,
respectively, from Jacques Ninio, the controlling shareholder of Panglobal at
that time, at a price of $0.0001 per share. Pursuant to related Escrow Agreements,
the 225,000 shares are to vest and be released to the consultants at the rate
of 75,000 shares annually beginning on May 11, 2008, provided that the underlying
consulting agreements have not been terminated. The fair value of these transactions,
as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was initially
determined to be $101,250 ($0.45 per share), reflecting the difference between
the $0.0001 purchase price and the $0.45 private placement price. Compensation
arrangements granted to consultants are valued each reporting period to determine
the amount to be recorded as an expense in the respective period. On September
30, 2009, the fair value of the transaction, as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model, was determined to be $0.12 per share.. As the restricted
shares vest, they will be valued on each vesting date and an adjustment will
be recorded for the difference between the value already recorded and the then
current value on the date of vesting. On October 31, 2007 the relationship of
one of the consultants with the Company ended and the right to acquire 100,000
shares of common stock has ceased and previously calculated compensation related
to this right to acquire 100,000 shares of common stock in the amount of $14,116
had been reversed during the three months ended December 31, 2007. Accordingly,
there will be no further non-cash compensation expenses charged relating to
those 100,000 shares.
On
October 23, 2007, Charles Lesser, the Companys Chief Financial Officer
and Chief Executive Officer acquired the beneficial rights to 250,000 shares
of common stock from Jacques Ninio, the controlling shareholder of Panglobal
at that time, at a price of $0.0001 per share. Pursuant to a related Escrow
Agreement, the shares are to vest and be released to Mr. Lesser according to
the following schedule: 100,000 shares on June 30, 2008 and 75,000 shares on
December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009, provided that Mr. Lessers underlying
employment status has not been terminated. The fair value of this transaction,
as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined
to be $220,000 ($0.88 per share), reflecting the difference between the $0.0001
purchase price and the fair market value of $0.88 on October 23, 2007, and was
being charged to operations ratably from November 1, 2007 through June 30, 2009.
During the year ended September, 2009, the Company recorded a charge to operations
of $99,000.

5. Due from Factor
The
Company uses a factor for credit administration and cash flow purposes. Under
the factoring agreement, the factor purchases a portion of the Companys
domestic wholesale sales invoices and assumes most of the credit risks with
respect to such accounts for a charge of 0.75% of the gross invoice amount.
The Company can draw cash advances from the factor based on a pre-determined
percentage, which is 75% of eligible outstanding accounts receivable. The factor
holds as security substantially all assets of the Company and charges interest
at a rate of prime plus 2.0% on the outstanding advances. The Company maintains
a cash collateral account in the amount of $303,426 with the factor to be used
as collateral for the loans advanced. The Company is liable to the factor for
merchandise disputes and customer claims on receivables sold to the factor.
The factoring agreement expires on March 4, 2010.
At
times, our customers place orders that exceed the credit that they have available
from the factor. We evaluate those orders to consider if the customer is worthy
of additional credit based on our past experience with the customer. If we decide
to sell merchandise to the customer on credit, we take the credit risk for the
amounts that are above their approved credit limit with the factor. As of September
30, 2009 and 2008, the amount of Due from Factor for which we bear the credit
risk was $76,976 and $123,837.
For
the year ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company paid a total of approximately
$304,443 and $73,515, respectively, of interest to the factor which is reported
as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of income.

Convertible Notes Payable
Effective
March 3, 2008 the Company entered into a Revolving Loan Agreement with two of
the shareholders of the Company, Sinecure Holdings, Inc. and Capella Investments,
Inc. (changed to Peter Hough, an individual). The loan allows the Company to
borrow and repay, on a revolving basis, up to an outstanding amount of $750,000.
The outstanding principal balance of the Loan bears interest, payable monthly,
at a rate of 8% per annum. The loan is secured by a lien on the assets of the
Company, except for factored receivables.
The
Loan was due to be repaid in full by November 30, 2008. As consideration for
the loan, the Company agreed to pay 68,180 of its Common shares as loan fees.
At March 31, 2008, $500,000 was advanced and the Company recorded an expense
of $25,000 included in operating expenses equivalent to the issuance of 45,454
shares of the Companys common stock at the fair market value of $0.55
per share, the closing price of the Companys common shares on the first
advance date of February 26, 2008. The Company drew a further advance on April
10, 2008 and recorded an expense in general and administrative expenses of $23,863
equivalent to the issuance of 22,726 shares of its common stock at the fair
market value of $1.05, the closing price of the Companys common stock
on April 10, 2008.
At
any time after August 31, 2008, if there was an outstanding amount on the Loan,
the lenders may convert, by written notice, either a portion or the total amount
of the outstanding loan to common shares of the Company at a price per share
equal to the lesser of:
|
(a)
|
the average closing bid for the five (5) trading days
immediately preceding the first advance date of February 26, 2008; or,
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
the average closing bid price for the five (5) trading
days immediately preceding the notice of intent to convert.

On April
9, 2009 the Company agreed to convert $375,000 plus accrued interest to April
30, 2009 into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.10 per
share. In addition, the Company agreed to issue one warrant to purchase one
Common share for every two shares to be issued at an exercise price of $0.25
per warrant exercisable for twelve months from issuance. The conversion was
effective April 30, 2009 and the Company issued 4,025,000 shares of Common stock
and 2,125,000 warrants.
The
Loan was modified on June 15, 2009 to conform to a new financing and now bears
interest at 9% per annum, compounded and payable bi-annually, on the outstanding
principal, and repayable on or before April 30, 2011. The note is now convertible
into common shares at $.10 per share ( 3,750,000 shares of stock) and when converted
the company will issue warrants equal to one half of the shares converted or
a maximum of 1,875,000 warrants exercisable at $0.15 per share for a period
of 24 months. These features gave rise to the assignment of the beneficial conversion
feature equal to $203,746 and the warrant amounting to $16,246 which is accounted
for as discount on the note and a credit to additional paid in capital. The
value of the warrants were determined by the Black Scholes option pricing method
using the current stock price, exercise price of the warrants, volatility of
210% and a risk free interest rate of 1.1%. The Beneficial conversion feature
value was set at its intrinsic value after consideration of the relative value
of the warrants and the notes. The discount is being amortized on the interest
method over the life of the loan.

Convertible Revolving Loan Agreement Payable to Shareholder
On
January 15, 2009 the Company entered into a revolving loan agreement with Providence
Wealth Management Ltd, a British Virgin Islands Company (Providence),

of the loan agreement;
|
|
(ii)
|
subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, by
advance of up to an additional US$300,000; and,
|
|
(iii)
|
bearing interest at 9% per annum on the outstanding
principal, and repayable on or before July 31, 2009.
|
The
first advance of $700,000 occurred on January 16, 2009 and a second advance
of $300,000 occurred on January 27, 2009.
On
June 12, 2008 the Company had entered into a revolving loan agreement dated
effective March 3, 2008, with Sinecure Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands
company, and Capella Investments Inc., a Nevada company, whereby Sinecure and
Capella agreed to loan us the aggregate principal amount of US$750,000 for general
corporate purposes. Also on June 12, 2008, we entered into a security agreement
dated effective March 3, 2008, with Sinecure and Capella, whereby we agreed
to create a security interest by way of priority security interest in our present
and after-acquired personal property and such other collateral described in
the Security Agreement in favor of Sinecure and Capella. On January 16, 2009
we entered into a pari passu agreement with Providence, Sinecure and Capella,
whereby Panglobal, Providence, Sinecure and Capella agree that all security
interests issued will have equal priority and that the creation, registration,
filing and existence of the security interests will not constitute an event
of default under either of the two security agreements.
In
connection with the Providence loan agreement, the Company entered into a security
agreement dated to be effective back to March 3, 2008, with Providence, whereby
the Company agreed to create a security interest by way of priority security
interest in our present and after-acquired personal property and other collateral
described in the security agreement in favor of Providence.
The
Providence loan may be converted at any time after the first advance and before
the maturity date into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of
$0.10 per share. In addition, the Company had agreed to issue one warrant to
purchase one Common share for every two shares to be issued at an exercise price
of $0.25 per warrant exercisable for twelve months from issuance. On April 9,
2009, Providence offered to convert $187,500 of the loan plus accrued interest
to April 30, 2009 into common shares of the Company. The conversion was effective
April 30, 2009 and the Company issued 2,120,000 shares of Common stock and 1,060,000
warrants.
The
terms of the Loan were modified on June 15, 2009 to conform to a new financing
and now bears interest at 9% per annum, compounded and payable bi-annually,
on the outstanding principal, and repayable on or before April 30, 2011. The
note is now convertible into common shares at $.10 per share (8,125,000 shares
of stock) and when converted the company will issue warrants equal to one half
of the shares converted or a maximum of 4,062,000 warrants exercisable at $.15
per share for a period of 24 months. These features gave rise to the assignment
of value to the beneficial conversion feature equal to $535,493 and a warrant
value of $35,493 which is accounted for as discount on the note and a credit
to additional paid in capital. In addition, a loss on extinguishment of debt
of $32,939 was credited to additional paid in capital. The value of the warrants
were determined by the Black Scholes option pricing method using the current
stock price , exercise price of the warrants, volatility of 210% and an risk
free interest rate of 1.1%. The Beneficial conversion feature value was set
at its intrinsic value after consideration of the relative value of the warrants
and the notes. The discount is being amortized on the interest method over the
life of the loan.

and repayable on or before April 30, 2011. At the same time, the remaining outstanding
balance of US$1,187,500 under loan agreements with Sinecure Holdings Limited,
Peter Hough and Providence Wealth Management Ltd., (see above) was conformed
from the terms of those previous loan agreements to the same terms as the June
15, 2009 convertible loan agreement under the Pari Passu and Loan Modification
Agreement described below.
Interest
on all of the loans may be paid in cash or shares of our common stock, or any
combination thereof, at our discretion. If interest is paid in shares, the conversion
price will be US$0.15 in value of interest per share.
At
any time on or before April 30, 2011, any of the lenders may give us written
notice and convert all or a portion of the loan into units, consisting of one
share of our common stock and one common share purchase warrant, at a price
per unit of US$0.10 for a potential total of conversion 10,000,000 shares. Each
common share purchase warrant is exercisable into one share of our common stock
at a price of US$0.15 per share for a period of 24 months.
These
features gave rise to the assignment of values to the warrant and the beneficial
conversion feature equal to $533,878 and a warrant value of $33,877 which is
accounted for as a discount on the note and a credit to additional paid in capital.
The value of the warrants were determined by the Black Scholes option pricing
method using the current stock price , exercise price of the warrants, volatility
of 210% and an risk free interest rate of 1.1% . The Beneficial conversion feature
value was set at its intrinsic value after consideration of the relative value
of the warrants and the notes. The discount is being amortized on the interest
method over the life of the loan.
The
three loans that were modified on June 15, 2009 are repayable on or before April
30, 2011. The notes are now convertible into common shares at $.10 per share
and when converted the company will issue warrants equal to one half of the
shares converted exercisable at $0.15 per share for a period of 24 months. These
features gave rise to the assignment of value to the warrants and the beneficial
conversion feature equal to $1,358,733 which is accounted for as discount on
the notes and a credit to additional paid in capital. The value of the warrants
were determined by the Black Scholes option pricing method using the current
stock price, exercise price of the warrants, volatility of 210% and a risk free
interest rate of 1.1% . The Beneficial conversion feature value was set at its
intrinsic value after consideration of the relative value of the warrants and
the notes. The discount is being amortized on the interest method over the life
of the loan.

30, 2009 had not accrued an expense for issuing shares for meeting the sales
target for 2009. On August 19, 2009 the Company and Lolly Factory LLC agreed

(a)
|
Compensated Lolly Factory LLC for 2009 commissions earned
for the difference between the original 3.5% commission rate and the revised
commission rate of 2.6% instituted this year. The company agreed to pay
50% of the difference, which amounts to $42,940 in Common shares of the
Company at a valuation of $0.20 per share. The amount of $42,940 was charged
to expense in the period ending September 30, 2009 and the Company will
issue 214,700 shares to Lolly Factory LLC. As of September 30, 2009 the
Company had not yet issued the Common shares to Lolly Factory LLC.
|
|

company based upon the original sales targets set for 2008 and 2009. For
the calendar year 2008, Lolly Factory LLC had approximately $12.5 million
in net sales versus a target of $30.0 million and the Company agreed to
pro-rata compensate Lolly Factory LLC 207,500 shares and recorded an expense
of $18,675 for the period ending September 30, 2009. For the calendar
year 2009, the Company will calculate the net sales attributed to Lolly
Factory LLC and pro rate the number of shares due based upon a target
of $45.0 for the full year. Through September 30, 2009, Lolly Factory
LLC has approximately $9.6 million in net sales and the Company will issue
107,000 shares and recorded an expense of $10,300 in the period ending

The
Company is periodically subject to various pending and threatened legal actions
that arise in the normal course of business. The Companys management believes
that the impact of any such litigation will not have a material adverse impact
on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
12. Income Taxes
Potential
benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization
is more likely than not. The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) 740 as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required
to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The
potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these
consolidated financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is
more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward
in future years.
The
deferred tax benefit resulting primarily from net operating losses is composed
of the following:

As
of September 30, 2009 unused net operating losses equal to $18,587,000 are available
for 16 years to offset future years federal and state taxable income.
ASC 740 requires that the tax benefit of such NOLs be recorded using current
tax rates as an asset to the extent management assesses the utilization of such
NOLs to be more likely than not. Based upon the Company's short term historical
operating performance, the Company provided a full valuation allowance against
the deferred tax asset.
The
difference between the (benefit) provision for income taxes and the expected
income tax (benefit) provision determined by applying the statutory Federal
and state income tax rates to pre-tax accounting loss for the years ended September

The
Company is required to file Federal and California income tax returns. All periods
subsequent to September 30, 2008 are subject to examination by the taxing authorities.
The company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will
be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result
in a material change. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain tax positions have
been recorded pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes. In addition, the
company does not anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefit
related to any particular tax position will change significantly within the
next twelve months. The company’s policy for recording interest and penalties,
if any, associated with tax authority audits, is to record such items as a component
of income taxes.

ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the
disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management
is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of
possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures were
designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would
meet their objectives.
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), our management carried out an evaluation,
with the participation of our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the
foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable
assurance level.
Management found the following deficiencies in our disclosure controls and
procedures:
There is not adequate division or segregation of duties in our accounting
department that has three staff members, which includes the Chief Financial
Officer.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have made the following changes in our internal controls over financial
reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over
financial reporting:
To compensate for the inadequate segregation of duties, during the quarter, we
instituted a system of sign-offs and checks and balances within the accounting
department. More specifically, the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive
Officer has a series of written sign-offs to ensure that a multiple members of
management have reviewed and agreed to financial transactions before they are
recorded. We recognize that there is still an inadequate division of duties and
that we continue to have the weakness stated above.
We intend to determine how to address our weaknesses in the future. At this
time, we do not know when we will take further action to address out weaknesses,
what measures we will take or how much it will cost.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing,
using the criteria in Internal Control Integrated Framework, issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Our
system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations,
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements.
- 24 -
Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal
Control-Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission, known as COSO, to evaluate the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this
assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial
reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2008.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent
registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting was not subject to
attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to
temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only managements report in
this annual report.
Certificates.
Certificates with respect to disclosure controls and procedures and internal
control over financial reporting under Rules 13a-14(a) or 15d-14(a) of the
Exchange Act are attached to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 8B. OTHER INFORMATION
None.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
On January 8, 2009, Panglobal Brands Inc. was notified that effective December
8, 2008, the personnel of Grobstein Horwath & Company LLP have joined with
Crowe Horwath LLP resulting in the resignation of Grobstein Horwath as
independent registered public accounting firm for our company. Crowe was
appointed as our new independent registered public accounting firm.
The audit reports of Grobstein Horwath on the financial statements of our
company as of and for the years ended to September 30, 2007 and 2006 did not
contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles with the
exception of a statement regarding the uncertainty of our companys ability to
continue as a going concern. The decision to engage Crowe was approved by our
board of directors on January 8, 2009.
During our companys most two recent fiscal years ended September 30, 2007 and
2006 and through the date of resignation, January 8, 2009, we did not consult
with Crowe regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific
completed or contemplated transaction or regarding the type of audit opinion
that might be rendered by Crowe on our financial statements, and Crowe did not
provide any written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by
our company in reaching a decision as to any such accounting, auditing or
financial reporting issue.
In connection with the audits of our financial statements for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and through the date of this current report,
there were: (i) no disagreements between our company and Grobstein Horwath on
any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not
resolved to the satisfaction of Grobstein Horwath, would have caused Grobstein
Horwath to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their
reports on our financial statements for such years, and (ii) no reportable
events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
We have provided Grobstein Horwath a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K
and have requested that Grobstein Horwath furnish us with a letter addressed to
the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Grobstein Horwath
agrees with our statements in this Item 4.01(a) . A copy of the letter dated
January 8, 2009, furnished by Grobstein Horwath in response to that request is
filed as Exhibit 16.2 to our Form 8-K filed on January 13, 2009.

Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive
officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or
controller, or persons performing similar functions. There is no reason why we
have not adopted such a code of ethics and we intend to do so during the year to
end September 30, 2010.
- 27 -
Nominating Committee
We do not have standing nominating or compensation committees, or committees
performing similar functions. Our board of directors believe that it is not
necessary to have a standing compensation committee at this time because the
functions of such committee are adequately performed by our board of directors.
Our board of directors also is of the view that it is appropriate for us not to
have a standing nominating committee because our board of directors has
performed and will perform adequately the functions of a nominating committee.
Our board of directors has not adopted a charter for the nomination committee.
There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for stockholders
to submit recommendations or nomination for directors. Our board of directors
does not believe that a defined policy with regard to the consideration of
candidates recommended by stockholders is necessary at this time because we
believe that, given the early stages of our development, a specific nominating
policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations
are at a more advanced level. There are no specific, minimum qualifications that
our board of directors believes must be met by a candidate recommended by our
board of directors. The process of identifying and evaluating nominees for
director typically begins with our board of directors soliciting professional
firms with whom we have an existing business relationship, such as law firms,
accounting firms or financial advisory firms, for suitable candidates to serve
as directors. It is followed by our board of directors review of the
candidates resumes and interview of candidates. Based on the information
gathered, our board of directors then makes a decision on whether to recommend
the candidates as nominees for director. We do not pay any fee to any third
party or parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying or evaluating
potential nominee.
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
We do not have a standing audit committee at the present time, however during
the previous fiscal year we did have audit committee meetings. Our board of
directors has determined that we only have one member at this time and do not
have a board member that qualifies as audit committee financial expert as
defined in SEC Release No. 33-8 177 SEC. II(A)(4)(c).
We believe that our board of directors is capable of analyzing and evaluating
our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for
financial reporting. The board of directors of our company does not believe that
it is necessary to have an audit committee at this time because management
believes that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by
the board of directors.

Director Compensation
Employment/Consulting Agreements
We have not entered into any employment agreement or consulting agreements with
our directors and executive officers at this time. There are no arrangements or
plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors
or executive officers. Our directors and executive officers may receive stock
options at the discretion of our board of directors in the future. We do not
have any material bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or
non-cash compensation is or may be paid to our directors or executive officers,
except that stock options may be granted at the discretion of our board of
directors. Directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders to
hold office until the next annual meeting. Each director, including a director
elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until his or her successor is
elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal.
We have no plans or arrangements in respect of remuneration received or that may
be received by our executive officers to compensate such officers in the event
of termination of employment (as a result of resignation, retirement, change of
control) or a change of responsibilities following a change of control, where
the value of such compensation exceeds $60,000 per executive officer.
Long-Term Incentive Plans
There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or
similar benefits for directors or executive officers, except that our directors
and executive officers may receive stock options at the discretion of our board
of directors and in accordance with our stock option plan, which was adopted
by our board of directors on January 16, 2007.
- 30 -
Director Compensation
We reimburse our directors for expenses incurred in connection with attending
board meetings. We paid Dru Narwani and Charles Shaker $20,000 each for the
period from May 21, 2009-September 30, 2009. We did not pay any other directors
fees or other cash compensation for services rendered as a director for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2008.
We have no formal plan for compensating our directors for their service in their
capacity as directors past October 31, 2009, although such directors are
expected in the future to receive stock options to purchase common shares as
awarded by our board of directors or (as to future stock options) a compensation
committee which may be established. Directors are entitled to reimbursement for
reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with
attendance at meetings of our board of directors. Our board of directors may
award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on
our behalf other than services ordinarily required of a director. No director
received and/or accrued any compensation for their services as a director,
including committee participation and/or special assignments.
Report on Executive Compensation
Our compensation program for our executive officers is administered and reviewed
by our board of directors. We intend to determine executive compensation based
on a combination of base salary, equity compensation and bonuses.
Base Salary
We provide base salaries in order to retain executives, with the intention of
being consistent with our business plan and attempting to achieve our financial
and strategic goals. We compensate officers and other key employees within
salary ranges that are generally based on similar positions in companies of
comparable size and complexity to that of our company, based on information
gathered by members of our board of directors. The annual compensation for each
officer is based on our companys performance and individual performance. The
performance markers considered may include but are not limited to the growth of
our companys market capitalization and completion of strategic initiatives as
determined by our board of directors. Our board of directors also takes into
account prevailing general economic conditions, marketplace trends, and other
relevant factors, including the fact that our company does not offer a defined
benefit retirement or other similar plans and perquisites to its senior
management employees.
Base salaries are established upon the commencement of employment with our
company and are adjusted from time to time by our board of directors.
Equity Compensation
We may grant amounts of stock options that are approved by our board of
directors. We believe that this may provide long-term incentive compensation to
its senior management. In determining the size of the awards, our board of
directors will consider the companys growth in market capitalization,
individual performance, salary level and length of service to the company into
account. Our board of directors believes that employee ownership of our stock
may encourage executives and key employees to continue their employment with our
company. We also may use stock options because our board of directors believes
that equity compensation in this form aligns the interests of stockholders with
senior management to ensure the Companys long-term success.
Discretionary Bonus
We may pay discretionary bonuses that are approved by our board of directors.
We intend to base any discretionary bonuses to be awarded to senior management
primarily upon the financial and strategic performance of our company or, as
the case may be, on the performance of the operating units for which the individual
in question is directly responsible. To determine the amount of a particular
bonus, our board of directors will consider several factors, including individual
performance, company performance, achievement of strategic goals and other facets
of individual and company achievements and other strategic and financial goals.

A beneficial owner of a security is any person who,
directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding,
relationship, or otherwise, has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes
the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment
power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of
shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more
than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the
power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be
beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire
the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of
the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage
ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to
include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only
such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage
of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily
reflect the persons actual ownership or voting power with respect
to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on February
12, 2010.

been granted 250,000 stock options which have been cancelled. Additionally, Mr.
Long had been granted 100,000 of restricted stock which had not vested at the
time of his separation. We agreed to grant Mr. Long 20,000 shares as part of his
separation.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
Transactions with Related Persons
During our last fiscal year and except as disclosed below, none of the following
persons has had any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction
worth more than $120,000 to which our company was or is a party, or in any
proposed transaction to which our company proposes to be a party:
|
(a)
|
any director or officer of our company;
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
any proposed director of officer of our
company;
|
|
|
|
|
(c)
|
any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly,
shares carrying more than 5% of the voting rights attached to our common
stock; or,
|
|
|
|
|
(d)
|
any member of the immediate family of any of the
foregoing persons (including a spouse, parents, children, siblings, and
in-laws).
|
Board meetings and committees; annual meeting attendance
The board of directors of our company held three formal meetings during the year
ended September 30, 2009. In addition, proceedings of the board of directors
were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and
filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions
consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at
a meeting of the directors are, according to Delaware Corporate Law and our
By-laws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the
directors duly called and held.
We currently do not have standing nominating or compensation committees, or
committees performing similar functions. The board believes that it is not
necessary to have a standing compensation or nominating committees at this time
because the functions of such committees are adequately performed by the entire
board.
Audit Committee
Currently our audit committee consists of our board of directors. We currently
do not have nominating, compensation committees or committees performing similar
functions. There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for
shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors.
Our audit committee currently does not have a member who is an audit committee
financial expert" as defined in SEC Release No. 33-8 177 SEC. II(A)(4)(c) and
who is "independent" as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We believe that retaining
an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial
expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our
circumstances given the early stages of our development.
For the year ended September 30, 2009, there were three meetings held by the
audit committee. The business of the audit committee was conducted by
resolutions consented to in writing by all the members and filed with the
minutes of the proceedings of the audit committee.
Director Independence
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board interdealer quotation
system, which does not have director independence requirements. Under NASDAQ
Rule 4200(a)(15), a director is not considered to be independent if he or she is
also an executive officer or employee of the corporation.
We have three (1) directors: Charles Shaker. Charles Shaker is considered to be
an independent director.

Audit Fees.
Consist of fees billed for professional
services rendered for the audits of our financial statements, reviews of our
interim consolidated financial statements included in quarterly reports,
services performed in connection with filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and related comfort letters and other services that are normally
provided by Crowe Horwath LLP for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 and
2008
Tax Fees.
Neither Crowe Horwath LLP nor Grobstein Horwath &
Company LLP provided us with professional services for tax compliance, tax
advice and tax planning. These services include assistance regarding federal,
state and local tax compliance and consultation in connection with various
transactions and acquisitions.
Policy on Pre-Approval by Audit Committee of Services
Performed by Independent Auditors
We have not used Crowe Horwath LLP or Grobstein Horwath & Company LLP for
financial information system design and implementation. These services, which
would include designing or implementing a system that aggregates source data
underlying the financial statements or generates information that is significant
to our financial statements, are provided internally or by other service
providers. We do not engage Crowe Horwath LLP or Grobstein Horwath & Company
LLP to provide compliance outsourcing services.
Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that
require that before our independent auditors are engaged by us to render any
auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:
- 36 -
-
approved by our audit committee (the functions of which are performed by
our entire board of directors); or
-
entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established
by the board of directors, provided the policies and procedures are detailed
as to the particular service, the board of directors is informed of each
service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the
board of directors' responsibilities to management.
Our entire board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our
independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and
approved by our directors either before or after the respective services were
rendered.
Our board of directors have considered the nature and amount of fees billed by
Crowe Horwath LLP and Grobstein Horwath & Company LLP and believe that the
provision of services are compatible with maintaining Crowe Horwath LLPs and
Grobstein Horwath & Company LLPs independence.
