LEATT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 - Basis of presentation

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 was audited and appears in the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2015. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2015, cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related information contained in these notes have been prepared by management without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as of March 31, 2015 and for all periods presented have been made. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for a full year.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. While management of the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Form 10-K.

Note 2 - Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory consists primarily of finished goods. Shipping and handling costs are included in the cost of inventory. In assessing the inventory value, the Company must make estimates and judgments regarding reserves required for product obsolescence, aging of inventory and other issues potentially affecting the saleable condition of products. In performing such evaluations, the Company utilizes historical experience as well as current market information. The reserve for obsolescence for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $187,627 and $221,177, respectively.

Note 3 - Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets consist of acquired patents with an indefinite useful life and are thus not amortized. Intangible assets are carried at cost less impairment. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was zero. There was no impairment of intangible assets at March 31, 2015.

Note 4 - Short-term Loan

The Company carries two product liability insurance policies; one with a U.S. insurance carrier and a second with a South African insurance carrier. The Company finances payment of its short-term insurance premiums over the period of coverage, which is generally twelve months. The US short-term loan is payable in monthly installments of $68,273 over an 11 month period at an APR of 2.647% and the South African short-term loan is payable in monthly installments of $1,936 over a 10 month period at a flat interest rate of 3.50%.

The Company carries directors and officers liability insurance. The Company finances payment of its short-term insurance premiums over the period of coverage, which is generally twelve months. The short-term loan is payable in eleven payments of $4,997 at a 2.647% annual interest rate.

Note 5- Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability approach to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is applied against any net deferred tax asset if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes included taxes currently payable, if any, plus the net change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities recorded by the Company.

The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“Standard”), which provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the consolidated financial statements only if the position is more likely than not of being sustained upon an examination by tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, the standard provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties; accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition, and any amounts when incurred would be recorded under these provisions.

[6]


The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s 2011 income tax return is under examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Note 6 - Net Income Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net income per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted–average number of common stock shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. For the three months March 31, 2015, the Company had 410,200 potential common shares, consisting of 120,000 preferred shares and options to purchase 290,200 shares, outstanding that were dilutive and included in diluted net income per share.

Note 7 - Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings involving product liability and personal injury and intellectual property litigation. The Company is insured against loss for certain of these matters. The Company will record contingent liabilities resulting from asserted and unasserted claims against it when it is probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. The Company will disclose contingent liabilities when there is a reasonable possibility that the ultimate loss will exceed the recorded liability. While the outcome of currently pending litigation is not yet determinable, the ultimate exposure with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained. However, based on the information currently available to the Company, the Company does not expect that any liabilities or costs that might be incurred to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company.

Note 8 – Subsequent Events

The company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were released.

Overview of our Business

Leatt designs, develops, markets and distributes personal protective equipment for participants in all forms of motor sports and leisure activities, including riders of motorcycles, bicycles, snowmobiles and ATVs, as well as racing car drivers. The Company sells its products to customers worldwide through a global network of distributors and retailers. Leatt also acts as the original equipment manufacturer for neck braces sold by other international brands.

The Company’s flagship products are based on the Leatt-Brace® system, a patented injection molded neck protection system owned by Xceed Holdings, designed to prevent potentially devastating injuries to the cervical spine and neck. The Company has the exclusive global manufacturing, distribution, sale and use rights to the Leatt-Brace®, pursuant to a license agreement between the Company and Xceed Holdings, a company owned and controlled by the Company’s Chairman and founder, Dr. Christopher Leatt. The Company also has the right to use apparatus embodying, employing and containing the Leatt-Brace® technology and has designed, developed, marketed and distributed other personal protective equipment using this technology, as well as its own developed technology, including the Company’s new body protection products which it markets under the Leatt Protection Range brand.

The Company’s research and development efforts are conducted at its research facilities, located at its executive headquarters in Cape Town, South Africa. The Company employs 5 full-time employees who are dedicated exclusively to research, development, and testing. The Company also utilizes consultants, academic institutions and engineering companies as independent contractors or consultants, from time to time, to assist it with its research and development efforts. Leatt products have been tested and reviewed internally and by external bodies. All Leatt products are compliant with applicable European Union directives, or CE certified, where appropriate. Certain products, such as the MRX Head and Neck Restraint system, have been certified by SFI Foundation (USA) and the Moto GPX was tested by BMW Motorrad (Germany) and reviewed by KTM (Austria). The Company is also in discussions with governing and racing bodies, such as the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) and the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR), to have the Leatt-Brace® accredited by these bodies.

Our products are manufactured in China under outsource manufacturing arrangements with third-party manufacturers located there. The Company utilizes outside consultants and its own employees to ensure the quality of its products through regular on-site product inspections. Products purchased through international sales are usually shipped directly from our manufacturers’ warehouses or points of dispatch to customers or their import agents.

Leatt earns revenues through the sale of its products through approximately 60 distributors worldwide, who in turn sell its products to retailers. Leatt distributors are required to follow certain standard business terms and guidelines for the sale and distribution of Leatt products.

Revenues – We earn revenues from the sale of our protective gear comprising of neck braces, body armor and other products, parts and accessories both in the United States and internationally. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $4.0 million, a 14% increase, compared to revenues of $3.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Revenues associated with international customers were $2.48 million and $1.97 million, or 62% and 56% of revenues, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. This increase in revenues is attributable to a $0.62 million increase in body armor sales that was partially offset by a $0.16 million decrease in neck brace sales.

The following table sets forth our revenues by product line for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

    Three Months Ended March 31,  
    2015     % of       2014     % of  
          Revenues             Revenues  
Neck braces $  1,789,608     45%     $  1,944,992     55%  
Body armor   2,014,973     50%       1,390,851     40%  
Other products, parts and accessories   216,874     5%       187,632     5%  
  $  4,021,455     100%     $  3,523,475     100%  

Sales of our flagship neck brace accounted for $1.79 million and $1.94 million, or 45% and 55% of our revenues for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The 8% decrease in neck brace revenues is primarily attributable to the sales mix of neck brace products sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Although the sales volume of neck braces was marginally higher in the quarter ended March 31, 2014, sales of our entry level 4.5 neck brace surged with initial market introduction.

Our body armor products are comprised of chest protectors, full upper body protectors, upper body protection vests, back protectors, knee braces and knee and elbow guards. Body armor sales accounted for $2.01 million and $1.39 million, or 50% and 40% of our revenues for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The 45% increase in body armor revenues was primarily the result of successful market acceptance of our new C Frame Knee Brace which was first shipped during the third quarter of 2014.

[11]


Our other products, parts and accessories are comprised of aftermarket support items required primarily to replace worn or damaged parts through our global distribution network, as well as clothing, outerwear and accessories that include hats, jackets, bags, hydration kits and cooling garments. Other products, parts and accessories sales accounted for $0.22 million and $0.19 million, or 5% and 5% of our revenues for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in revenues from the sale of other products, parts and accessories is primarily due to a 45% increase in the volume of hydration units sold internationally during the period.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit – Cost of revenues for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $1.84 million and $1.63 million, respectively. Gross Profit for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $2.18 million and $1.90 million, respectively, or 54% and 54% of revenues respectively. While our body armor products continue to generate a lower gross margin than our neck brace products, body armor margins have improved during the 2015 period due to the introduction of the C Frame Knee Brace.

Product Royalty Income – Product royalty income is earned on sales to distributors that have royalty agreements in place, as well as on sales of licensed products by third parties that have licensing agreements in place. Product royalty income for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $51,533 and $20,815, respectively. The 148% increase in product royalty income is due to an increase in the sale of licensed products by licensees in the 2015 period.

Salaries and Wages – Salaries and wages for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $606,178 and $527,046, respectively. This 15% increase in salaries and wages during the 2015 period was primarily due to the employment of additional sales management personnel in the United States and brand management personnel in Europe.  Additionally salaries and wages were increased in connection with a restructuring of our international marketing operations to our headquarters in South Africa.

Commissions and Consulting Expense – During the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, commissions and consulting expenses were $185,908 and $166,017, respectively. This 12% increase in commissions and consulting expenses is primarily the result of higher commissions paid to independent sales representatives in the United States as a result of the increased sales revenues discussed above.

Professional Fees – Professional fees consist of costs incurred for audit, tax and regulatory filings, as well as patent protection and product liability litigation expenses incurred as the Company continues to expand. Professional fees for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $214,773 and $334,056, respectively. This 36% decrease in professional fees is primarily due to decreased spending on product liability litigation during the 2015 period.

Advertising and Marketing – The Company places paid advertising in various motorsport magazines and online media, and sponsors a number of events, teams and individuals to increase product and brand visibility. Advertising and marketing expenses for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $261,442 and $285,394, respectively. The 8% decrease in advertising and marketing expenditures during the 2015 period is primarily due to the Company’s continued implementation of digital marketing campaigns that reach a targeted audience and are more cost effective than the print campaigns previously utilized by the Company.

Office Rent and Expenses – Office rent and expenses for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 remained flat at $60,508 and $60,118, respectively.

Research and Development Costs – These costs consists of the salaries of personnel who are directly involved in the research and development of innovative products, as well as the direct costs associated with developing these products. Research and development costs for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, increased to $292,717, from $281,292, during the same 2014 quarter. The 4% increase in research and development costs is a result of costs incurred to widen the Company’s product range, as well as the employment of additional design and development resources.

General and Administrative Expenses – General and administrative expenses consists of insurance, travel, merchant fees, telephone, office and computer supplies. General and administrative expenses for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $425,216 and $504,954, respectively. The 16% decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily as a result of decreased product liability insurance premiums.

Bad Debt Expense Bad Debt Expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $0 and $22,072, respectively. This 100% decrease in Bad Debt Expense is primarily the result of the write off of a portion of unrecoverable debt owed to Two Eleven during the 2014 comparative period.

[12]


Depreciation Expense Depreciation Expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $92,803 and $77,519, respectively. This 20% increase in depreciation is primarily as a result of the addition of molds and tooling required for the production of the Company’s widening product range.

Total Operating Expenses – Total operating expenses decreased by $118,923, to $2,139,545 in the three months ended March 31, 2015, or 5%, compared to $2.26 million in the 2014 period. This decrease is primarily due to decreased professional fees and general and administrative expenses that were partially set off by increased salaries and wages discussed above.

Net income (loss) – The net income after income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was $54,105 as opposed to a net loss after income taxes of $340,886 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. This increase in net income is primarily due to increased revenues and decreased operating expenses discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0.9 million and $0.05 million of short-term investments. The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

    March 31,  
    2015     2014  
Net cash provided by operating activities $  511,282   $  224,495  
Net cash used in investing activities $  (42,611 ) $  (88,530 )
Net cash used in financing activities $  (277,126 ) $  (282,267 )
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents $  (23,087 ) $  10,864  
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents $  168,458   $  (135,438 )
Cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of period $  724,707   $  835,012  
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of period $  893,165   $  699,574  

Cash increased by $168,458, or 23%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The primary sources of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were a net income of $54,105, decreased accounts receivables of $2,595,341, and decreased prepaid expenses and other current assets of $275,158. The primary uses of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were decreased accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,662,512 and the repayment of a short-term loan amounting to $277,126. As of March 31, 2015, we did not have any credit facilities or significant amounts owed to third party lenders.

The Company is currently meeting its working capital needs through cash on hand as well as internally generated cash from operations. Management believes that its current cash and cash equivalent balances, along with the net cash generated by operations are sufficient to meet its anticipated operating cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. There are currently no plans for any major capital expenditures in the next twelve months. Our long-term financing requirements depend on our growth strategy, which relates primarily to our desire to increase revenue both domestically as well as internationally.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We have identified the following as the items that require the most significant judgment and often involve complex estimation: revenue recognition, estimating allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, inventory valuation, impairment of long-lived assets and accounting for income taxes.

Revenue and Cost Recognition - All manufacturing of Leatt-Brace products is performed by third party subcontractors in China. The Company's products are sold worldwide to a global network of distributors and dealers, and directly to consumers when there are no dealers or distributors in their geographic area (collectively the "customers"). Revenues from product sales are recognized when earned, net of applicable provisions for discounts and returns and allowances in the event of product defect. Revenue is considered to be realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Our distributor payment terms range from pre-payment in full to 60 days after shipment and subsequent sales of our products by distributors have no effect on the amount and timing of payments due to us. Furthermore, products purchased by distributors may not be returned to us in the event that any such distributor relationship is terminated.

Since the Company (through its wholly owned subsidiary) serves as the distributor of Leatt products in the United States, the Company records its revenue and related cost of revenue for its product sales in the United States upon shipment of the merchandise to the dealer or to the ultimate consumer when there is no dealer in the geographic area and the sales order was received directly from, and paid by, the ultimate consumer. Since the Company (through its South African branch) serves as the distributor of Leatt products in South Africa, the Company records its revenue and related cost of revenue for its product sales in South Africa upon shipment of the merchandise from the branch to the dealer. International sales (other than in South Africa) are generally drop-shipped directly from the third party manufacturer to the international distributors.

Revenue and related cost of revenue is recognized at the time of shipment from the manufacturer's port when the shipping terms are Free On Board ("FOB") shipping point. Cost and Freight ("CFR") or Cost and Insurance to named place ("CIP") as legal title and risk of loss to the product pass to the distributor. Sales to all customers (distributors, dealers and consumers) are generally final; however, in limited instances, product may be returned due to product quality issues. Historically, returns due to product quality issues have not been material and there have been no distributor terminations that resulted in product returns. Cost of revenues also includes royalty fees associated with sales of Leatt-Brace products. Product royalty income is recorded as the underlying product sales occur, in accordance with the related licensing arrangements.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable consist of amounts due to the Company from normal business activities. Credit is granted to substantially all distributors on an unsecured basis. We continuously monitor collections and payments from customers and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. In determining the amount of the allowance, we are required to make certain estimates and assumptions. Accounts receivable balances that are still outstanding after we have used reasonable collection efforts are written off as uncollectible. While such credit losses have historically been minimal, within our expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have in the past. A significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any of our significant customers could have a material adverse effect on the collectability of our accounts receivable and our future operating results.

Inventory Valuation – Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory consists primarily of finished goods. Shipping and handling costs are included in the cost of inventory. In assessing the inventory value, we make estimates and judgments regarding reserves required for product obsolescence, aging of inventory and other issues potentially affecting the saleable condition of products. In performing such evaluations, we utilize historical experience as well as current market information. The reserve for obsolescence for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $187,627 and $221,177, respectively.

[14]


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – Our long-lived assets include property and equipment. We evaluate our long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. In evaluating an asset for recoverability, we estimate the future cash flow expected to result from the use of the asset and eventual disposition. If the expected future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss, equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset, is recognized. We have determined there was no impairment charge during the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Income Taxes - As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income tax provision (benefit) in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our current income tax provision (benefit) together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheets. We regularly evaluate our ability to recover the reported amount of our deferred income taxes considering several factors, including our estimate of the likelihood of the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future years during the period over which the temporary differences reverse.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. It also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016; however, the FASB has proposed a deferral of the effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02 “Consolidation (Topic 810) Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.This ASU is intended to improve targeted areas of the consolidation guidance for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations and securitization structures. These amendments affect the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations. In addition, the amendments simplify and improve current U.S. GAAP by reducing the number of consolidation models. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of being presented as an asset. The recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs are not affected by this amendment. This ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Inflation

Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our sales and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2015, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to its stockholders.
