NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2014
(UNAUDITED)
 
 
Note 1   Organization and Nature of Operations

Respect Your Universe, Inc. (“the Company”), which was incorporated in 2008, is a vertically integrated active lifestyle apparel brand that engages in the development, marketing and distribution of apparel and accessories. With operations based in Portland, Oregon, the Company’s products are sold through wholesale, retail and e-commerce channels.

Note 2   Liquidity and Management’s Plan

The Company commenced operations as a development stage enterprise in 2009 and has incurred losses from inception.  As shown in the accompanying condensed financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $852,327 and had net cash used in operating activities of $978,701 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.   As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s cash balance was $251,977. Although the Company has successfully raised $3,160,000 in 2014 as discussed in Note 15 - Subsequent Events, the Company will need to raise sufficient capital during 2014 in order to support current operations and planned development.  These factors raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

In 2012, the Company emerged from the development stage by launching its initial men’s apparel line in January and its initial women’s apparel line in July, and by opening its first retail store in Las Vegas, Nevada in October.  Sales generated in 2012 and 2013 fell significantly short of expectations.  During 2013, management began efforts to reposition the brand to appeal to a broader market, and has developed a plan to improve the business operations which will require additional issuance of equity securities or placement of debt.  There can there be no assurance that sufficient revenue or financing will occur to meet the Company’s cash needs for the next 12 months. Therefore, a continuation of our recent historical operating results could result in our inability to continue as a going concern.
  
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that could result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Note 3   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information.

The financial information as of December 31, 2013 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto.
 
 
7

 
 
Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.  It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation.  The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes during 2014 in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2013 Form 10-K.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
 
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates. Some of the more significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, including sales returns and claims from customers, slow-moving and closeout inventories, income taxes and stock-based compensation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
 
 
·
Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
 
·
Level 2: Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 
·
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

The Company's financial instruments consisted primarily of cash, inventory, deposits, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due from factor. The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments generally approximated their fair values as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, due to the short-term nature of such items.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made in prior years’ condensed financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Note 4  Earnings (Loss) per Share
 
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.  Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss, adjusted for changes in income or loss that resulted from the assumed conversion of convertible shares, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.
 
The Company had the following potential common stock equivalents at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:
 
   
March 31, 2014
   
December 31, 2013
 
Stock options, exercise price $0.21 - $2.26
    5,556,420       5,161,420  
Common stock warrants, conversion price $0.25 - $1.80
    27,062,996       13,716,167  
Total common stock equivalents
    32,619,416       18,877,587  
 
 
Since the Company incurred a net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the effect of considering any common stock equivalents, if exercisable, would have been anti-dilutive.  Therefore, a separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented.

Note 5   Inventories
 
Inventories, net, consist of finished goods inventory of $1,632,986 ($640,890 of which has been classified as non-current) and $1,797,154 ($951,966 of which has been classified as non-current) as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  Inventories not expected to be sold within 12 months have been classified as non-current.
 
Adjustment for Lower of Cost-or-Market
 
As of December 31, 2013, the Company assessed the market value of its inventory on hand.  The Company determined that the market value of the product was less than its cost. As such, the Company recognized an LCM adjustment to inventory of $387,947 in December 2013.  The Company did not record an adjustment to inventory in the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
 
Note 6   Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment consist of the following as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Intangible assets, net
  $ 166,319     $ 167,587  
 

Patents and Trademarks
 
The Company capitalizes legal fees and filing costs associated with the development of its patents and trademarks.  Patents and trademarks are amortized over an estimated useful life using the straight-line method, however, patents and trademarks with indefinite useful lives are not amortized.  

Domain Name
 
In February 2012, the Company capitalized the costs associated with the acquisition of its domain name, ryu.com.  The estimated useful life of the website domain is indefinite and accordingly related capitalized costs are not amortized.

Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $1,000 and $19,000, respectely. 
 
 Note 8   Note Payable

In December 2013, the Company entered into a term note (“Note”) in the principal amount of $499,934.  The interest only Note has a maturity date of January 1, 2015 and bears interest of 15% per annum, which is payable quarterly, and is secured by all of the assets of the Company. In connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 300,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 until January 1, 2015.  

Note 9   Loans payable – related party
 
During 2013, the Company was advanced funds totaling $130,000 from a related party in anticipation of participating in a private placement financing.  Under the terms of the private placement subscription agreement, the Company is entitled to utilize the proceeds as an interest free loan until the subscription is accepted and the certificates delivered.  The advances were paid through the issuance of common stock and warrants as part of the February 2014 equity raise as further described in Note 10.
