NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Plandaí
Biotechnology,
Inc.’s (t
he “Company”) consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The
financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to recoverability and classification of recorded amounts of assets
and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company's continued existence is
dependent upon its ability to continue to execute its operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can
be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.
Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc.,
through its recent acquisition of Global Energy Solutions, Ltd. and its subsidiaries, focuses on the farming of whole fruits,
vegetables and live plant material and the production of proprietary functional foods and botanical extracts for the health and
wellness industry. Its principle holdings consist of land, farms and infrastructure in South Africa.
The
Company is actively pursuing additional financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments
have been obtained. Management believes these efforts will generate sufficient cash flows from future operations to pay the Company's
obligations and realize positive cash flow. There is no assurance any of these transactions will occur.
These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report for the year ended June 30, 2012 previously filed
on Form 10-K.
In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods have been made. All adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature.
Organization and Basis of Presentation
On November
17, 2011, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Plandaí Biotechnologies, Inc., consummated a share exchange
with Global Energy Solutions, Inc. (“GES”), an Irish corporation. Under the terms of the share exchange, GES received
76,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that had been previously issued to Plandaí in exchange for 100% of
the issued and outstanding capital of GES. Concurrent with the share exchange,
the Company sold its subsidiary, Diamond
Ranch, Ltd., together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Executive Seafood, Inc., to a former officer and director of Diamond Ranch.
Under the terms of the sale, the purchasers assumed all associated debt as consideration. During the three months ended December
31, 2011 and through the date of the share exchange, Diamond Ranch, Ltd. and Executive Seafood, Inc. had negligible revenues from
operations, generated a net loss of $126,000, and as of December 31, 2011, liabilities exceeded assets by over $5,000,000. The
Company subsequently changed its name to
Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc.
For accounting purposes, the share
exchange has been treated as a reverse merger since the acquired entity now forms the basis for operations and the transaction
resulted in a change in control, with the acquired company electing to become the successor issuer for reporting purposes. The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared to reflect the assets, liabilities and operations of Plandaí Biotechnology,
Inc. exclusive of Diamond Ranch Foods since the acquisition and sale were executed simultaneously. For equity purposes, the shares
issued to acquire GES (76,000,000 shares) have been shown to be issued and outstanding since inception, with the previous balance
outstanding (25,415,300 shares common) treated as a new issuance as of the date of the share exchange. The additional paid-in capital
and retained deficit shown are those of GES and its subsidiary operations.
In management’s opinion, all
adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the presented periods have been made. All adjustments made
were of a normal recurring nature. As a result of the share exchange, the Company changed its fiscal year end to coincide with
that of GES, which is June 30. The accompanying financial statements therefore represent the results of operations for the three
and six months ended December 31, 2012.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of accounting policies
for Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is presented to assist in understanding the Company's
financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied
in the preparation of the financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The financial statements are prepared
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the financial statements,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and statement of operations for the year then ended. Actual
results may differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for allowance for bad debts, collect ability of accounts
receivable, amounts due to service providers, depreciation and litigation contingencies, among others.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash
flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents
to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.
Revenue recognition
The Company presently
derives its revenue from the sale of timber and agricultural products produced on its farm and tea estate holdings in South Africa.
The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company
will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned
when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped
or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is
reasonably assured. There are no price incentives and the product can only be returned if defective. As the Company does not believe
defective merchandise is likely an allowance has not been recognized. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis with corresponding
costs of goods as a reduction to revenue in cost of sales.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company has no significant off-balance
sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company provides for depreciation and amortization using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to five years.
Maintenance and
repair costs are expensed as they are incurred while renewals and improvements which extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. At
the time of retirement or disposal of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are
removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the results of operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, formerly
SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,
the Company reviews its long-lived assets
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable.
The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its asset based
on estimates of its undiscounted future cash flows. If these estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the
asset, an impairment charge is recognized for the difference between the asset's estimated fair value and its carrying value. As
of the date of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any items or events that would cause it to adjust the recorded
value of its long-lived assets for impairment.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an “emerging
growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage
of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting
standards. As an emerging growth company, we can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would
otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value of certain of the Company’s
financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, account payable, accrued expenses, notes payables,
and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in
accordance with ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value investments.
Fair value, as defined in ASC 820, is the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or
most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the
risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.
Valuation techniques are generally classified
into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or
more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability,
and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use
of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting
measurement as follows:
Level 1
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets
that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities; The Company values it’s available for sale
securities using Level 1.
Level 2
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities
in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable
market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair values.
Fair value measurements are required to be
disclosed by the Level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. Fair value
measurements using significant unobservable inputs (in Level 3 measurements) are subject to expanded disclosure requirements including
a reconciliation of the beginning and
ending balances, separately presenting changes
during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating
those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in
the statement of income.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Principles of Consolidation
Plandaí
Biotechnology, Inc. and its subsidiaries, are encompassed in the following entities, which have been consolidated in the
accompanying financial statements:
Global Energy Solutions, Ltd. 100%
owned by Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc.
Dunn Roman Holdings—Africa,
Ltd 82% owned by Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc.
Breakwood Trading 22 (Pty) Ltd. 74%
owned by Dunn Roman Holdings-Africa
Green Gold Biotechnologies (Pty)
Ltd. 74% owned by Dunn Roman Holdings-Africa
Subsequent to June 30, 2012, the Company
determined that the entity, Global Energy Solutions, was unnecessary to operations and decided to dissolve that corporation, resulting
in the stock of Dunn Roman Holdings-Africa being held directly by Plandaí. All liabilities were either satisfied or forgiven
and all bank accounts closed. There were no operations in Global Energy Solutions during the three months ended December 31, 2012.
Currently, Global Energy Solutions is subject to a “voluntary strikeoff,” which is a suspension of operations that
corporate entities go through in Ireland lasting approximately 60 days before dissolution becomes effective.
All intercompany balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency Translation
Financial Accounting Statement No. 52, Foreign
Currency Translation (FAS 52), sets forth the appropriate accounting treatment under U.S. GAAP for companies that consolidate the
results of foreign operations denominated in local currencies. FAS 52 requires that all assets and liabilities be translated at
the current spot rate at the date of translation. Equity items, other than retained earnings, are translated at the spot rates
in effect on each related transaction date. Retained earnings are translated at the weighted-average rate for the relevant year
and income statement items are translated at the average rate for the period, except where specific identification is practicable.
The resulting adjustment is not recognized in current earnings, but rather as a component of other comprehensive income.
Non-Controlling Interest
Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 160,
Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,
establishes standards for
accounting for noncontrolling interest, sometimes called a minority interest, which is that portion of equity in a subsidiary
not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. FAS 160 requires that the minority portion of equity and net income/loss
from operations of consolidated entities be reflected in the financial statements. The Company previously adopted FAS 160 and has
reflected the impact in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – NOTE PAYABLE - CURRENT
Note payable, current, represents short term financing of
the company’s insurance policy covering its South African operations. The total premium is due at the inception of the contract;
however, the Company has elected to finance the principle. The unamortized portion of the premium is recorded as Prepaid Expense
and the unpaid balance of the premium is recorded as Notes Payable-Current. The Company had a current notes payable balance at
December 31, 2012 and 2011 of $42,789 and $0, respectively.
NOTE 4 – LOANS FROM RELATED PARTIES
As of December 31, 2012, the Company has outstanding
loans to various related parties in the amount of $578,772. These loans were provided for short-term working capital purposes,
bear interest at 4%, and become payable once the Company’s obligation to the Land & Agriculture Bank of South Africa
has been repaid. Accordingly, this balance has been classified as a long liability as of December 31, 2012. During the six months
ended December 31, 2012, the Company and the note holders agreed forgive $4,426 in interest expense, which was reflected as an
increase in paid in capital since the note holders were related parties.
NOTE 5 - LINE OF CREDIT
During the year ended June 30, 2012, the company
entered into a line of credit agreement for $500,000 which was later increased to $1,000,000. The line of credit matures on January
5, 2014 and bears interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. As of December 31, 2012, the balance drawn down on the credit
line was $752,503 and accrued interest was $54,525.
The remaining balance of line of credit, $982,502,
relates to borrowings under the credit facility provided by the Land and Agriculture Bank of South Africa (see Note 6).
NOTE 6 – LONG-TERM DEBT
In June 2012, the
Company, through the
majority-owned subsidiaries of Dunn Roman Holdings, Inc., executed final loan documents on a 100 million
Rand (approx. $13 million USD) financing with the Land and Agriculture Bank of South Africa. The total loan is comprised of multiple
agreements totaling, between Green Gold Biotechnologies (Pty) Ltd. and Breakwood Trading 22(Pty) Ltd., 100 million rand. The loans
all bear interest at the rate of prime plus 0.5% per annum and are all due in seven years. In addition, the loans have a 25-month
“holiday” in which no payments or interest are due until 25 months after the first drawn down of funds. The loans are
collateralized by the assets and operations, including the Senteeko lease, agriculture production and receivables of Dunn Roman
Holdings, which is the African operating arm of Plandaí. In addition, Dunn Roman Holdings was required to grant a 15% profit
share agreement to the Land Bank which extends through the duration of the loan agreements (7 years unless pre-paid). The profit
share agreement extends only to profits generated by Dunn Roman Holdings exclusive of operations of Plandaí and outside
of South Africa. By way of loan covenants, the borrowing entities are required to maintain a debt to equity ratio of 1.5:1, interest
coverage ratio of 1.5:1, and security coverage ratio of 1:1.
As of December 31, 2012, a total of $7,904,289
has been drawn down against the loans by Green Gold Biotechnologies (Pty) Ltd., which was used to purchased fixed assets that will
be employed in South Africa to produce the company’s botanical extracts.
During the year ended June 30, 2012,
the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of restricted common stock to three individuals in exchange for shares of Dunn Roman Holdings
stock which had been previously issued. The acquired Dunn Roman shares were then provided to thirds parties in order to comply
with the BEE provisions associated with the loan from the Land Bank of South Africa, which required that 15% of Dunn Roman be black
owned. The Company has therefore, determined to treat the value of the shares issued to acquire the Dunn Roman stock ($585,000)
as a cost of securing the financing and recorded as a loan discount which will be amortized over the life of the loan (7 years).
As of December 31, 2012, the loan balance was:
Loan Principle $7,904,289
Less: Discount
(585,000
)
Net Loan per Books
$7,319,289
NOTE 7 – CURRENCY ADJUSTMENT
The Company’s principle operations are
located in South Africa and the primary currency used is the South African Rand. Accordingly, the financial statements are first
prepared in using Rand and then converted to US Dollars for reporting purposes, with the average conversion rate being used for
income statement purposes and the closing exchange rate as of December 31, 2012 applied to the balance sheet. Differences resulting
from the fluctuation in the exchange rate are recorded as an offset to equity in the balance sheet. As of December 31, 2012, the
cumulative currency translation adjustments were $10,447.
NOTE 8 – FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets, stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation at
December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012

Depreciation expense for the six months ended
December 31, 2012 was $46,680. Depreciation expense for the year ended June 30, 2012 was $0. The Company had not begun depreciating
the leasehold improvements because they had not been completed as of June 30, 2012. Once completed the company began to amortize
over the life of the lease.
NOTE 9 – DEPOSIT ON EQUIPMENT
Deposit on Equipment consists of machinery
and equipment necessary for production. A deposit of $6,229,808 has been paid via a loan from Land Bank described in Note 6, of
which $415,818 was paid in the six months ended December 31, 2012. However, delivery is not expected for several months.
NOTE 10 – MINORITY INTEREST
Plandaí owns 82% of Dunn Roman Holdings—Africa,
which in turn owns 74% each of Breakwood Trading 22 (Pty, Ltd. and Green Gold Biotechnologies (Pty), Ltd., in order to be compliant
with the Black Economic Empowerment rules imposed by the South African Land Bank. While the Company, under the Equity Method of
Accounting, is required to consolidate 100% of the operations of its majority-owned subsidiaries, that portion of subsidiary net
equity attributable to the minority ownership, together with an allocated portion of net income or net loss incurred by the subsidiaries,
must be reflected on the consolidated financial statements. On the balance sheet, minority interest has been shown in the Equity
Section, separated from the equity of Plandaí, while on the income statement, the minority shareholder allocation of net
loss has been shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This statement includes projections of
future results and "forward looking statements" as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933
as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the "Exchange
Act"). All statements that are included in this Quarterly Report, other than statements of historical fact, are forward looking
statements. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in these forward looking statements are reasonable, it
can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct.
BUSINESS
Plandaí
Biotechnology, Inc., (the “Company”) through its recent acquisition of Global Energy Solutions, Ltd. and its
subsidiaries, focuses on the farming of whole fruits, vegetables and live plant material and the production of proprietary functional
foods and botanical extracts for the health and wellness industry. Its principle holdings consist of land, farms and infrastructure
in South Africa.
The Company was incorporated, as
Jerry's Inc., in the State of Florida on November 30, 1942. The company catered airline flights and operated coffee shops, lounges
and gift shops at airports and other facilities located in Florida, Alabama and Georgia. The company's airline catering services
included the preparation of meals in kitchens located at, or adjacent to, airports and the distribution of meals and beverages
for service on commercial airline flights. The company also provided certain ancillary services, including, among others, the preparation
of beverage service carts, the unloading and cleaning of plates, utensils and other accessories arriving on incoming aircraft,
and the inventory management and storage of airline-owned dining service equipment. In March of 2004 we moved our domicile to Nevada
and changed our name to Diamond Ranch Foods, Ltd. Diamond Ranch Foods, Ltd. was engaged in the meat processing and distribution
industry. Operations consisted of packing, processing, custom meat cutting, portion controlled meats, private labeling, and distribution
of our products to a diversified customer base, including, but not limited to; in-home food service businesses, retailers, hotels,
restaurants and institutions, deli and catering operators, and industry suppliers. On November 17, 2011, the Company, through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Plandaí Biotechnologies, Inc. consummated a share exchange with Global Energy Solutions Corporation
Limited, an Irish corporation. Under the terms of the Share Exchange, GES received 76,000,000 shares of Diamond Ranch that had
been previously issued to Plandaí Biotechnologies, Inc. in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding capital of GES. On
November 21, 2011, the Company filed an amendment to the articles of incorporation to change the name of the company to Plandaí
Biotechnology, Inc.
We will continue to seek to raise additional
capital through the sale of common stock to fund the expansion of our company. There can be no assurance that we will be successful
in raising the capital required and without additional funds we would be unable to expand our plant, acquire other companies, or
further implement our business plan. In April 2012, through our subsidiary companies, we secured a 100 million Rand (approximately
$13 million) financing with the Land and Agriculture Bank of South Africa which will be used to build infrastructure and further
operations.
DISPOSITION OF SUBSIDIARY
On November 17, 2011, the Company sold its subsidiary, Diamond Ranch,
Ltd., together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Executive Seafood, Inc. to the former officer and director of Diamond Ranch. Under
the terms of the sale, the purchaser assumed all associated debt as consideration. During the three and six months prior
to their disposition, Diamond Ranch, Ltd. and Executive Seafood, Inc. had negligible revenues from operations, generated a net
loss of $126,000, and as of the date of disposition, liabilities exceeded assets by over $5,000,000.
As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement and disposition of Diamond
Ranch, Ltd., the operations of Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc. for all periods presented consists exclusively of Plandaí
Biotechnologies, Inc,. and its subsidiaries exclusive of Diamond Ranch.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Plandaí
Biotechnologies has a proprietary technology that extracts a high level of bio-available compounds from organic matter including
green tea leaves and most other organic materials. Numerous documented scientific studies have been conducted over the past ten
years using this technology that releases bioavailable antioxidants and other phytonutrients in form the body can easily absorb.
The Company intends to use its notarial leases to
focuses on the farming of whole fruits,
vegetables and live plant material and the production of Phytofare™ functional foods and botanical extracts for the health
and wellness industry using its proprietary extraction technology.
The company is presently developing for market
two unique extracts: Phytofare™ Green Tea Catechin Extract and Phytofare™ Citrus Limonoid Glycoside Complex.
COMPETITION
The Company faces competition from
a variety of sources. There are several large producers of farm products including green tea and there are numerous companies that
develop and market nutraceutical products that include bio-available compounds including those from green tea extract. Many of
these competitors benefit from established distribution, market-ready products, and greater levels of financing. Plandaí
intends to compete by producing higher quality and higher concentration extracts, producing at lower costs, and controlling a vertically
integrated market that includes all stages from farming through production and marketing.
CUSTOMERS
Plandaí will market to end users as
well as other nutraceutical companies that require high-quality bio-available extracts for their products. In addition, the Company
anticipates having surplus farm products including avocado, and macadamia nuts.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011
SALES
Revenue increased from $13,896 to $131,999 for the three months

expected to commence until Fall 2013, when the commercial-grade extraction facility is completed.
EXPENSES
For the three months period ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the
Company reported $125,493 and $4,167 of payroll expenses, respectively. The increase is attributable to the farm workers hired
to begin cultivating the farm land.
For the three months period ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the
Company reported $82,301 and $18,610 of professional fees, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to legal fees.

from $22,816 to $155,289 for the six months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011. The increase was primarily
due to the Company’s
managing the rehabilitation of the tea estate.
OTHER
For the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company
reported interest expense of $105,692 and $0, respectively, an increase of $105,692. The increase was due to the interest accrued

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the six
months ended December 31, 2012, the Company's cash used in operating activities totaled $705,102, which was primarily attributable
to a loss from operations, and cash used in investing activities was $1,301,103 which consisted of the purchase of fixed assets
and deposits on equipment. Cash provided by financing activities was $3,387,005, generated by draw downs on a line of credit and
advances on the loan from the Land and Agriculture Bank of South Africa. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had current assets
of $1,449,125
compared to current liabilities of $341,302. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, the Company’s
cash used in operating activities totaled $39,520, which was primarily attributable to a loss from operations,
and cash used in investing activities was $230 which consisted of the purchase of fixed assets. Cash provided by financing activities
was $41,295, which was from loans from related parties.
PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company's
long-term existence is dependent upon our ability to execute our operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing
to fund payment of obligations and provide working capital for operations. In April 2012, the Company
through majority-owned
subsidiaries of Dunn Roman Holdings Africa (Pty) Limited , executed final loan documents on a 100 million Rand (approx. $13 million
USD) financing with the Land and Agriculture Bank of South Africa and has begun rehabilitating the Senteeko Tea Estate so that
it can begin yielding green tea feedstock by Autumn 2013. The company has also commenced construction of the factory and associated
equipment necessary to begin the extraction process on live botanical matter, including green tea and citrus, with a goal to have
the factory completed by the end of Spring, 2013. Once the facility is tested and operational, the
company will commence processing citrus
material for its Phytofare™ Citrus Limonoid Glucoside Complex in Fall 2013 until the green tea is ready to harvest.
Management anticipates that it will require
additional infusions of capital in order to meet the Company’s long terms and short term operational objectives. Discussions
are underway to license aspects of the technology, borrow funds, and secure grants for research and development, a combination
of which enable the Company to continue implementing its business plan.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of our
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates
and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable
under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there
are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our financial statements, we believe the following critical accounting
policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments.
Revenue recognition
The Company derives
its revenue from the production and sale of farm goods, raw materials and the sale of bioavailable extracts in both raw material
and finished product form.
The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for
revenue recognition. The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue
realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
(ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable,
and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company mainly sells to retailers. There are no price incentives and the product
can only be returned if defective. As the Company does not believe defective merchandise is likely an allowance has not been recognized.
Revenue is recognized on a gross basis with corresponding costs of goods as a reduction to revenue in cost of sales.
Intangible and Long-Lived
Assets
We follow Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360,
Property Plant and Equipment
,
which establishes a primary asset approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that
represents the unit of accounting for a long lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result
from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount
or fair value less cost to sell.
Goodwill is accounted
for in accordance with ASC Topic 350,
Intangibles – Goodwill and Other
. We assess the impairment of long-lived assets,
including goodwill and intangibles on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value
is less than its carrying value. Factors that we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include poor economic
performance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant negative industry, economic or company specific
trends, changes in the manner of our use of the assets or the plans for our business, market price of our common stock, and loss
of key personnel. We have determined that there was no impairment of goodwill during 2011 or 2010. The share exchange did not result
in the recording of goodwill and there is not currently any goodwill recorded.
Potential Derivative
Instruments
We periodically assess
our financial and equity instruments to determine if they require derivative accounting. Instruments which may potentially require
derivative accounting are conversion features of debt and common stock equivalents in excess of available authorized common shares.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Minority Interest
Plandaí owns 82% of Dunn Roman Holdings—Africa,
which in turn owns 74% each of Breakwood Trading 22 (Pty, Ltd. and Green Gold Biotechnologies (Pty), Ltd., in order to be compliant
with the Black Economic Empowerment rules imposed by the South African Land Bank. While the Company, under the Equity Method of
Accounting, is required to consolidate 100% of the operations of its majority-owned subsidiaries, that portion of subsidiary net
equity attributable to the minority ownership, together with an allocated portion of net income or net loss incurred by the subsidiaries,
must be reflected on the consolidated financial statements. On the balance sheet, minority interest has been shown in the Equity
Section, separated from the equity of Plandaí, while on the income statement, the minority shareholder allocation of net
loss has been shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Currency Translation Adjustment
The Company maintains significant operations
in South Africa, where the currency is the Rand. The subsidiary financial statements are therefore converted into US dollars prior
to consolidation with the parent entity, Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc. US GAAP requires that the weighted average exchange
rate be applied to the foreign income statements and that the closing exchange rate as of the period end date be applied to the
balance sheet. The cumulative foreign currency adjustment is included in the equity section of the balance sheet.
