	•	continuous improvement of our product distribution network and forging of strong distributor relationships — beyond those a company of our size might be expected to maintain; and
	•	implementation of a products depletion tracking system, by both brand and SKU (enabling us to more effectively target our selling efforts).

	•	the continued consolidation of brands among the major spirits companies is expected to result in their concentration on large market leading brands and divestitures of non-core brands, which may create an opportunity for us as we focus on smaller and emerging brands;
	•	the ongoing industry consolidation is expected to make it more difficult for smaller spirits companies and new entrants to identify and secure an attractive route to market, particularly in the United States, while we already have established extensive U.S. and international distribution;
	•	owners of small private and family-owned spirits brands will seek to partner with or be acquired by a larger company with global distribution and we expect to be an attractive alternative for brand owners as one of the few publicly traded spirits companies outside of the major spirits companies with multi-billion dollar revenues; and
	•	particular opportunities in the premium end of the spirits market in which we participate, given positive changes in customer preferences, demographics and expected growth rates in the imported spirits segments in which we participate.

	Our formation and the acquisition of the Roaring Water Bay entities

	Recent developments

	•	in August 2004, we entered into an exclusive marketing agreement with I.L.A.R. S.p.A., a family owned Italian spirits company founded in 1875, pursuant to which we obtained the long-term exclusive U.S. distribution rights (excluding duty free sales) with respect to its Pallini Limoncello, a premium Italian liqueur, and related brand extensions;
	•	in January 2005, we became the exclusive U.S. distributor for the Gosling’s rums, including Gosling’s Black Seal dark rum and related brands, all of which are produced by the Gosling family in Bermuda, where Gosling’s rums have been under continuous production for over 150 years. In February 2005, we expanded this relationship by acquiring a 60% controlling interest in Gosling-Castle Partners Inc., a global export venture owned by us and the Gosling family; and
	•	effective April 1, 2005, Gosling-Castle Partners secured the exclusive long-term export and distribution rights for the Gosling’s rum products for all countries other than Bermuda, including an assignment of the Gosling’s rights under our January 2005 distribution agreement with them. See “—Strategic brand-partner relationships.”

	•	Gosling’s Black Seal – Gosling’s Black Seal is a premium dark rum, which is best known as an ingredient in the Gosling’s trademarked cocktail Dark ‘n Stormy – known as the “national drink of Bermuda.” To foster the promotion of the Dark ‘n Stormy, we also distribute its recommended mixture counterpart, Barritt’s Ginger Beer, a well known non-alcoholic ginger beer from Bermuda. Gosling’s Black Seal was awarded a Platinum Medal (the highest offered) in the World Spirits Competition, conducted by the Beverage Tasting Institute in 2000. In that competition, as part of a blind taste test conducted with respect to a selection of world class rums, Gosling’s Black Seal was rated “96” out of a possible “100” and a “Best Buy”;
	•	Gosling’s Gold Bermuda Rum – Gosling’s Gold Bermuda Rum, lighter in color than Gosling’s Black Seal, was introduced in 2004. It is often combined with Gosling’s Black Seal and fruit juices in the Rum Swizzle cocktail, a popular drink in Bermuda; and
	•	Gosling’s Old Rum – Gosling’s Old Rum is a premium “family reserve” rum that is produced in limited quantities. Gosling’s Old Rum was created based on the Gosling’s Black Seal formula and then further aged in oak barrels.

	•	increasing consumption of imported premium spirits; viewed as affordable luxury products, consumers appear willing to trade up and pay more for high-end quality spirits; and
	•	increasing consumer identification with a particular liquor brand to convey status and self image; consumers are more likely to have a preference for establishing a unique brand or drink to call their own and to be aspirational in their drinking behavior.

		relationships with third-party distributors or brokers in all 50 states in the United States and in six other primary international markets. We believe that establishing domestic and international distribution such as ours is a significant barrier to entry for smaller spirits producers and that our distribution network is similar to that of our significantly larger competitors. We anticipate that our distribution network will also be a differentiating factor in enabling us to continue to partner with emerging brands seeking greater market penetration;
	•	our significant sales and marketing expertise and experience. We have dedicated a significant amount of resources to establish and develop a sales and marketing infrastructure both domestically and internationally. We believe this infrastructure provides us the capacity to accommodate our anticipated future growth. We currently have a total sales force of 26 people, including six regional U.S. sales managers and two international sales managers, with an average of over 15 years of industry experience with premium spirits brands;
	•	our highly qualified and experienced management team with successful track records relating to brand development, the spirits industry, mergers and acquisitions and public companies. Mark Andrews, our chairman and chief executive officer, founded our predecessor company in 1998. Prior thereto, he served as founder, chairman and chief executive officer of American Exploration Company, a publicly traded oil and gas company, from 1980 until its sale to Louis Dreyfus Natural Gas Corp. in 1997. During his 17-year tenure there, American Exploration completed over 50 acquisitions. Keith Bellinger, our president, chief operating officer and secretary, was formerly chief financial officer of the spirits division of Allied Domecq USA and served as president of the Northern Business Unit of Allied Domecq USA. T. Kelley Spillane, our senior vice president – U.S. sales, had significant roles while at Carillon Imports in helping that company grow its Absolut Vodka and Bombay Sapphire Gin brands. John Soden, our senior vice president and managing director – international operations who is scheduled to begin employment on March 29, 2006, has spent the last fourteen years in the alcohol beverage industry, most recently serving as the general manager of both Woodford Bourne and Direct Wine Shipments Wholesale (both wine and spirits importers that are subsidiaries of DCC Group PLC) where he managed sales and marketing personnel in Ireland;
	•	our flexible and efficient supply chain. We currently coordinate the production and delivery of all of our spirits through long-term arrangements with third-party distillers, producers and transportation companies. These arrangements enable us to operate without the need to own or invest in distilleries, bottling plants, storage or transportation equipment, allowing us to focus a majority of our resources on sales and marketing activities; and
	•	our recent track record in establishing strategic partnerships. We have experienced recent successes establishing strategic partnerships with the owners of spirits brands seeking to increase sales beyond their home markets, providing the opportunity for the brands to achieve global growth. We believe this track record will allow us to attract additional brands to our portfolio.

	•	increasing market penetration of our existing spirits brands. We intend to utilize our existing distribution relationships, sales expertise and targeted marketing activities to achieve growth and gain additional market share for our brands within retail stores, bars and restaurants, and thereby with end consumers, both here and internationally; add experienced salespeople in selected markets; increase sales to national chain accounts; and expand our international distribution relationships;
	•	building brand awareness through innovative marketing, advertising and promotional activities. We place a significant emphasis on our bottle design, labeling and packaging, as well as on our advertising and promotional activities, to establish and reinforce the image of our brands and have invested significant capital over the last several years in developing our brands. We intend to continue developing compelling campaigns for our spirits brands through the coordinated efforts of our experienced internal marketing personnel and leading third-party design and advertising firms, principally using billboards, print advertisements and in-store promotional materials, to increase consumer brand awareness. For example, we intend to position Boru vodka as the leading and one of the few premium vodkas produced in Ireland and expand the market awareness of Gosling’s rum in global markets beyond its current loyal customer following in Bermuda and the eastern United States; and
	•	selectively adding new premium brands to our spirits portfolio. We intend to continue developing new brands and pursuing strategic relationships, joint ventures and acquisitions to selectively expand our portfolio of premium spirits brands, particularly by capitalizing on and expanding our already demonstrated partnering capabilities. The spirits industry is characterized by a relatively small number of very large companies, as a result of continuing industry consolidation, and a sizable number of smaller brands, many of which are family owned. We believe that by partnering with these smaller and family-owned companies, we provide them with the potential opportunity to achieve global growth and the other benefits of a larger organization while, in many cases, maintaining their local identities and traditional distillation and production businesses. In addition, we will seek to opportunistically acquire brands divested by our larger competitors that have market presence and significant growth potential.

		creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a “covered” short position or a “naked short” position. In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by an underwriter is not greater than the number of shares that it may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in the over-allotment option. An underwriter may close out any short position by either exercising its over-allotment option, in whole or in part, or purchasing shares of our common stock in the open market;
	•	syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares needed to close out such short position, the representative of the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of the shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which it may purchase the shares through the over-allotment option. If the underwriters sell more shares than could be covered by the over-allotment option, a naked short position, the position can only be closed out by buying such shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the representative is concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering;
	•	stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of common stock made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of the offering, which stabilizing bids may not exceed a specific maximum; and
	•	penalty bids permit the representative to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the shares originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

NOTE 1 -	ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.		Description of Business and Business Combination - Castle Brands Inc. is the successor to Great Spirits Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GSC”). GSC was formed in February 1998. In May 2003, Great Spirits (Ireland) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of GSC, began operations in Ireland to market GSC’s products internationally. In July 2003, GSRWB, Inc. (renamed Castle Brands Inc.) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Great Spirits Corp. (renamed Castle Brands (USA) Corp.) (“CB-USA”), were formed under the laws of Delaware in contemplation of a pending acquisition. On December 1, 2003, Castle Brands Inc. acquired The Roaring Water Bay Spirits Group Limited and The Roaring Water Bay Spirits Marketing and Sales Company Limited and their related entities (collectively, “Roaring Water Bay”). The acquisition has been accounted for under purchase accounting. Simultaneously, GSC was merged into CB-USA, and Castle Brands Inc. issued stock to GSC’s shareholders in exchange for their shares of GSC. Subsequent to the acquisition, The Roaring Water Bay Spirits Group Limited was renamed Castle Brands Spirits Group Limited (“CB Ireland”) and The Roaring Water Bay Spirits Marketing and Sales Company Limited was renamed Castle Brands Spirits Marketing and Sales Company Limited (“CB-UK”).
		In February 2005, Castle Brands Inc. acquired 60% of the shares of Gosling-Castle Partners Inc. (“GCP”), which holds the worldwide distribution rights (excluding Bermuda) to Gosling’s rum and related products.
		As used herein, the “Company” refers to Castle Brands Inc. and, where appropriate, it also refers collectively to Castle Brands Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including its majority owned GCP subsidiary.
		The Company has experienced recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations and has a stockholders’ deficiency of $21,956,089 as of December 31, 2005. The Company believes that it will be able to fund its operational cash requirements through a credit facility arranged with one of its investors and cash on hand through December 31, 2006.
B.		Brands - Vodka — Boru vodka, is an ultra-pure, quadruple distilled and specially filtered premium vodka. Boru is produced in Ireland and has three flavor extensions (citrus, orange and crazzberry).
		Rum — Gosling’s rums, a family of premium rums with a 150-year history, for which the Company is, through its export venture GCP, the exclusive marketer outside of Bermuda, including the award-winning Gosling’s Black Seal rum; and Sea Wynde, a premium rum developed and introduced by the Company in 2001.
		Irish Whiskey — Knappogue Castle Whiskey, a vintage-dated premium single-malt Irish whiskey; Knappogue Castle 1951, a pure pot-still whiskey that has been aged for 36 years; and the Clontarf Irish whiskeys, a family of premium Irish whiskeys, available in single malt, reserve and classic pure grain versions.

		Liqueurs/Cordials — Brady’s Irish cream, a premium Irish cream liqueur; Celtic Crossing, a premium Irish liqueur; and, pursuant to an exclusive U.S. marketing arrangement, Pallini Limoncello, Raspicello and Peachcello premium Italian liqueurs.
C.		Principles of Consolidation - The March 31, 2004 and 2005 and December 31, 2005 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Castle Brands Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CB-USA and its wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries, CB Ireland and CB-UK, and its majority owned Gosling-Castle Partners, Inc. with adjustments for income or loss allocated based upon percentage of ownership. The accounts of the subsidiaries have been included as of the date of acquisition. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
D.		Unaudited Interim Information - The consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 are based on physical inventory observations and are unaudited. The unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for fair presentation, consisting of normal recurring adjustments. The results for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending March 31, 2006, or for any other interim period.
E.		Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statements of Operations (unaudited) - The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the filing of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register 3,500,000 shares of its common stock in an initial public offering. A pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 and pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 are presented to disclose the impact of certain transactions which are expected to take place upon the consummation of the offering as if these transactions had occurred at the beginning of the respective periods for results of operations and the end of the period for financial positions.
		The pro forma balance sheet information is adjusted to give effect to the following transactions that are expected to occur at the time of the offering:
		•      The conversion of all of the Company’s outstanding Series A convertible preferred stock into 535,715 shares of common stock;
		•      The conversion of all of the Company’s Series B outstanding convertible preferred stock into 200,000 shares of common stock;
		•      The conversion of all of the Company’s Series C outstanding convertible preferred stock into 3,353,750 shares of common stock;

		•      The conversion of all €1,374,750 ($1,628,254) principal amount of the Company’s 5% euro denominated convertible subordinated notes into 263,362 shares of common stock;
		•      The conversion of $6.0 million of the $15.0 million principal amount of the Company’s 6% convertible notes into 857,143 shares of common stock;
		•      The recognition of deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the $6.0 million of 6% convertible notes referred to above as interest expense;
		•      The sale of 3,500,000 shares of common stock in the proposed initial public offering (excluding any over allotment) at an assumed public offering price of $9.00 per share;
		•      The receipt of the estimated net proceeds from such sale, net of estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and other expenses of this offering;
		•      The repayment of €255,000 ($302,022) of subordinated notes;
		•      The repayment of $158,361, including $18,094 of aggregate imputed interest, of non-interest bearing stockholder notes;
		•      The repayment of $2,000,000 of borrowings under the February 2006 credit facility;
		•      The payment of $104,262 of accrued interest; and
		•      The payment of $204,952 of all accrued dividends on the preferred membership units of the predecessor company, Great Spirits, LLC.
		The pro forma information reflects the following adjustments resulting from the transactions referred to above:
		•      The elimination of interest expense and foreign exchange gain/(loss) relating to the 5% euro denominated convertible notes and 6% convertible notes that are converting into common stock upon the offering;
		•      The elimination of preferred stock dividends for all of the Company’s preferred stock which is converting into common stock upon the offering.
		No adjustment has been made to the pro forma information to recognize deferred financing charges as an expense. There is no pro forma effect on income tax benefit as a result of the above adjustments.
F.		Organization and Operations - The Company is principally engaged in the manufacture, marketing and sale of fine spirit brands of vodka, Irish whiskey, rums and liqueurs (the “products”) in the United States, Canada, Europe, and the Caribbean.
G.		Cash equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity at date of acquisition of three months or less to be a cash equivalent.

NOTE 1 -	ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

H.		Trade accounts receivable - The Company records trade accounts receivable at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the trade accounts receivable balances. The Company calculates this allowance based on its history of write-offs, level of past due accounts based on contractual terms of the receivables and its relationships with and economic status of the Company’s customers.
I.		Revenue Recognition - Revenue from product sales is recognized when the product is shipped to a customer (generally a distributor or a control state), title and risk of loss has passed to the customer in accordance with the terms of sale (FOB shipping point or FOB destination), and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue is not recognized on shipments to control states in the United States until such time as product is sold through to the retail channel.
J.		Inventories - Inventories, which consist of distilled spirits, raw materials (bulk spirits, bottles and labels), packaging and finished goods, is valued at the lower of cost or market, using the weighted average cost method. The Company assesses the valuation of its inventories and reduces the carrying value of those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of the Company’s forecasted usage to their estimated net realizable value. The Company estimates the net realizable value of such inventories based on analyses and assumptions including, but not limited to, historical usage, future demand and market requirements. Reductions to the carrying value of inventories are recorded in cost of goods sold.
K.		Equipment - Equipment consists of office equipment, computers and software and furniture and fixtures. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related depreciation is removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations. Equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years.
L.		Goodwill and other intangible assets - Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price including related costs over the value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. As of March 31, 2004 and 2005 and December 31, 2005, goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets that arose from acquisitions was $11.3 million and $11.6 million and $11.6 million, respectively. On April 1, 2004, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if certain circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets using a two-step impairment test approach at the reporting unit level. In the first step the fair value for the reporting unit is compared to its book value including goodwill. In the case that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the book value, a second step is performed which compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the book value of the

F-10

NOTE 1 -	ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

		goodwill. The fair value for the goodwill is determined based on the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of such reporting unit. If the fair value of the goodwill is less than the book value, the difference is recognized as an impairment. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to the estimated residual values and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144 (see Note 6). The Company performed its annual impairment assessment on long-lived assets, including intangible assets and goodwill, in accordance with the methods prescribed above. The Company concluded that no impairment existed during the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005.
M.		Deferred registration costs - The costs associated with the Company’s proposed initial public offering have been recorded as deferred registration costs and will reduce additional paid in capital if the offering is effective. Should the offering not be consummated, the deferred registration costs will be recognized as a charge to operations.
N.		Shipping and handling - The Company reflects as inventory costs freight-in and related external handling charges relating to the purchase of raw materials and finished goods. These costs are charged to cost of sales at the time the underlying product is sold. The Company also incurs shipping costs in connection with its various marketing activities, including the shipment of point of sale materials to the Company’s regional sales managers and customers, and the costs of shipping product in connection with its various marketing programs and promotions. These shipping charges are included in selling expense. Shipping charges included in selling expense amounted to $180,500, $234,000, $280,000 and $182,000 and $290,000 for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2004, 2005 and the nine months ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively.
O.		Excise taxes and duty - Excise taxes and duty are computed at standard rates based on alcohol proof per gallon/liter and are paid after finished goods are imported into the United States and Great Britain and then transferred out of “bond.” Excise taxes and duty are recorded to inventory as a component of the cost of the underlying finished goods. When the underlying products are sold “ex warehouse” the sales price reflects the taxes paid and the inventoried excise taxes and duties are charged to cost of sales. During the years ended March 31, 2003, 2004, 2005 and the nine months ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, the captions for the Company’s revenues and cost of sales included the amounts of excise tax and duties presented in the table below:

														Nine months ended
		Year ended March 31,												December 31,
		2003				2004				2005				2004				2005
Sales, net		$	472,980			$	650,629			$	1,913,450			$	1,087,290			$	2,991,267
Cost of Sales		$	472,980			$	650,629			$	1,913,450			$	1,087,290			$	2,991,267

P.		Distributor charges and promotional goods - The Company incurs charges from its distributors for a variety of transactions and services rendered by the distributor, including

F-11

NOTE 1 -	ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

		product depletions, product samples for various promotional purposes, in-store tastings and training where legal, and local advertising where legal. Such charges are reflected as selling expense as incurred. In addition, for certain of its distributors, the Company has entered into arrangements whereby the purchase of a particular product or products by a distributor is accompanied by a percentage of the sale being composed of promotional goods or as a predetermined discount percentage of dollars off invoice. In such cases, the cost of the promotional goods are charged to cost of sales and dollars off invoice are a reduction to revenue.
Q.		Foreign Currency Translation - The functional currency for the Company’s foreign operations is the euro in Ireland and the British pound in the United Kingdom. The translation from the applicable foreign currencies to U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other income/expenses.
R.		Fair Value of Financial Instruments - SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties and requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The Company believes that there is no material difference between the fair value and the reported amounts of financial instruments in the balance sheets due to the short term maturity of these instruments, or with respect to the debt, as compared to the current borrowing rates available to the Company.
S.		Income Taxes - The Company follows SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, 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 basis. A valuation allowance is provided to the extent a deferred tax asset is not considered recoverable.
T.		Stock Based Awards - The Company accounts for stock-based compensation for its employees, officers and directors using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board, referred to as APB, Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under the intrinsic value method, compensation costs for stock options, if any, are measured as the excess of the Company’s estimated value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. This method, which is permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” has not resulted in employee compensation costs for stock options. The Company accounts for stock-based awards to non- employees using a fair value method in accordance with SFAS No. 123.

		Disclosure of pro forma net loss, as if all stock options were accounted for at fair value, is required by SFAS No. 123, under which compensation expense is based upon the fair value of each option at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes or a similar option pricing model. Had compensation expense for employee, officer and director options granted been determined based upon the fair value of the options at the grant date, the results would have been as follows:

		The FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revision 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” referred to as SFAS 123(R), in December 2004 and it is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting periods that begin after June 15, 2005. The new statement requires all share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values on the grant date. Such cost is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is usually the vesting period.
		The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) beginning April 1, 2006. The Company expects that the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and earnings per share. The Company has not yet determined the method of adoption or the effect of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), and it has not determined whether the adoption will result in amounts that are similar to the current pro forma disclosures required under SFAS No. 123. The Company has not yet determined the impact of SFAS No. 123(R) on its compensation policies or plans, if any.

NOTE 1 -	ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

		The fair value of the stock options granted is estimated at the grant date using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield 0.0%; risk free interest rate 4.43%; expected volatility 25%; and expected life of 7.0 years. The weighted average fair value of options granted in fiscal year 2004 and 2005 and for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 was $2.17 and $2.69 and $3.05 respectively.
U.		Research and Development Costs - The costs of research, development and product improvement are charged to expense as incurred and are included in selling expense.
V.		Advertising - Advertising costs are expensed when the advertising first appears in its respective medium. Advertising expense, which is included in selling expense, was $720,183, $1,225,056 and $4,032,061, for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively, and $3,891,404 and $2,626,061 the nine months ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively.
W.		Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company periodically reviews whether changes have occurred that would require revisions to the carrying amounts of its long-lived assets. When the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized based on the fair value of the asset.
X.		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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for certain items such as in evaluating the annual impairment tests, allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation, amortization and expense accruals.
Y.		Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), which revises SFAS No. 123, “Share Based Payment” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” This statement focuses primarily on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in exchange for share-based payments. Under SFAS No. 123(R), a public entity generally is required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award, with such cost recognized over the applicable vesting period. In addition, SFAS No. 123(R) requires an entity to provide certain disclosures in order to assist in understanding the nature of share-based payment transactions and the effects of those transactions on the financial statements. The provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) are required to be applied as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period of the entity’s first fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005. As such, it is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2007. While the Company currently discloses the pro-forma earnings effects of its stock-based awards, it is evaluating the impact the implementation guidance

		and revisions included in SFAS No. 123(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements.
		In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs,” an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin, referred to as ARB, (“ARB”) No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and waste (spoilage). Previously, these costs were recognized as current period expenses when they were considered “so abnormal.” SFAS No. 151 requires those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the “so abnormal” criteria. In addition, SFAS No. 151 clarifies that fixed overhead allocations to inventory costs be based on normal capacity of production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during 2007 and earlier application is permitted. The Company believes its current accounting policies closely align to the new rules. Accordingly, the Company does not believe this new standard will have a material impact on its financial statements.
		In March 2004, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” referred to as EITF 03-1. EITF 03-1 includes new guidance for evaluating and recording impairment losses on debt and equity investments, as well as new disclosure requirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. In September 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position EITF 03-1-1, which delays the effective date until additional guidance is issued for the application of the recognition and measurement provisions of EITF 03-1 to investments in securities that are impaired. The Company does not believe that adoption of EITF 03-1 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
		In November 2004, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per Share.” EITF 04-8 requires companies to account for contingently convertible debt using the “if converted” method set forth in SFAS No. 128 “Earnings per Share,” for calculating diluted earnings per share. Contingently convertible debt is to be included in diluted earnings per share as if the debt had been converted into common stock. The provisions of EITF 04-8 are required to be applied to reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004. Following the completion of this offering, the Company will no longer have contingently convertible debt instruments and EITF 04-8 will have no impact on the calculation of its diluted earnings per share.
		In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” This statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle.

NOTE 1 -	ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

		SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impractical to determine period specific changes. This statement is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2005 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

		Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Diluted potential common shares consist of incremental shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants, contingent conversion of debentures and convertible preferred stock outstanding. In computing diluted net loss per share for fiscal 2004 and 2005, no adjustment has been made to the weighted average outstanding common shares as the assumed exercise of outstanding options and warrants and the assumed conversion of preferred stock and convertible debentures is anti-dilutive.
		Potential common shares not included in calculating diluted net loss per share are as follows:

		March 31,								December 31,
		2004				2005				2004				2005
Stock options			563,000				745,500				666,000				915,500

NOTE 3 -	INVENTORIES (CONT’D)

		Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market. The Company assesses the valuation of its inventories and reduces the carrying value of those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of the Company’s forecasted usage to their estimated net realizable value. The Company estimates the net realizable value of such inventories based on analyses and assumptions including, but not limited to, historical usage, future demand and market requirements. Reductions to the carrying value of inventories are recorded in cost of goods sold.

		Investment in Gosling-Castle Partners Inc.
		In February 2005, the Company entered into a stock subscription agreement for 60% of the stock of Gosling Partners Inc., whose name was subsequently changed to Gosling-Castle Partners Inc. (“GCP”). GCP had no operations prior to the Company entering into the stock subscription agreement. The original shareholders of GCP were E. Malcolm Gosling and Gosling’s Limited and after the Company’s purchase of 60% of the ownership interest, the remaining ownership interests were owned 20% by each of E. Malcolm Gosling and Gosling’s Limited. CB-USA had previously entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Gosling’s Export (Bermuda) Limited (“GXB”) to distribute Gosling’s rum in the United States. Gosling Partners Inc. had originally been formed to acquire, and had acquired prior to the Company’s investment in GCP, the following:

	•	global distribution rights (excluding Bermuda) to the Gosling’s portfolio of products;
	•	appointment as the exclusive authorized global exporter for the GXB product line;
	•	an exclusive license for the use of GXB’s global trademarks for its brand portfolio;

		The Company agreed to pay GCP $5,000,000 for its 60% interest: $100,000 in cash and issuance of a promissory note of $4,900,000 to GCP for the balance owed. This promissory note is payable in five installments as follows:

	$1,025,000 on April 1, 2005
	$1,125,000 on October 1, 2005
	$1,000,000 on April 1, 2006
	$1,000,000 on October 1, 2006; and
	$750,000 on April 1, 2007

		Effective with the payment of the second installment on October 1, 2005, this promissory note accrues interest on the unpaid principal amount at the rate of 4% per annum until the note is repaid in full.
		The global distribution agreement commenced on April 1, 2005 and has a 15 year term. It is renewable for additional 15 year terms as long as GCP meets certain case sale targets during the initial term as set forth in the agreement. (See Note 19 – Gosling-Castle Partners Inc. Export Agreement with Gosling’s Export (Bermuda) Limited). The Company ascribed the entire purchase of $5,000,000 to the Gosling global distribution agreement

		described above. In conjunction with this transaction the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $2,222,222 to reflect the difference between the adjusted book value and tax basis. This deferred tax liability was recorded as an increase to the value of the distribution agreement and is included in intangible assets.
		Acquisition of CB Ireland and CB-UK
		On December 1, 2003, the Company acquired CB Ireland, including 95% of its operating subsidiary Castle Brands Spirits Company Limited, and CB-UK, including its operating subsidiary, Castle Brands Spirits Company (GB) Limited. CB Ireland is the producer and primary marketer of Boru Vodka, as well as Clontarf Irish Whiskey and several Irish cream liqueurs. CB-UK and its subsidiaries operate primarily in Great Britain. As part of the acquisition, in May 2004, CB Ireland purchased the remaining shares of its operating subsidiary from minority shareholders pursuant to the terms of a put option contained within its 1999 Business Expansion Scheme (“BES 1”). The total cost of this BES 1 share purchase of €317,491 was reduced, in part, by the agreement of the four former shareholders of CB Ireland’s operating subsidiary to contribute a total of €100,000, in the form of 15,000 shares of Castle Brands Inc. Series C preferred stock, to defray the cost of this transaction to the Company which was recorded as goodwill. The aggregate net purchase price of the acquisition (as translated) at the effective exchange rates was as follows:

Cash		$	6,097,079
1,306,666 shares of the Company’s Common Stock			7,840,000
Convertible subordinated notes, with a conversion price of €5.22			1,650,800
Other notes payable-net of imputed interest			245,550
Deferred tax liability ascribed to intangible assets — indefinite life			629,444
Acquisition costs			1,061,742
Total		$	17,524,615

		Assets were valued at their respective estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The valuation of identifiable intangible assets and goodwill acquired was based on management’s estimates. The identifiable intangible assets include trade names, formulations, patents and distribution agreements. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired.

		The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of RWB:

Description		Amount
Net tangible assets acquired		$	210,185
Identifiable intangible assets (definite life)			1,973,000
Identifiable intangible assets (indefinite life)			3,692,000
Goodwill			11,649,430
Total consideration		$	17,524,615

		At the time of the acquisition, the net tangible assets acquired included cash, accounts receivable, inventory, manufacturing and transportation equipment, computers and furniture and fixtures, accounts payable and certain other assumed liabilities. Identifiable intangible assets refer to the Boru and Clontarf Trinity design, which is being amortized over the fifteen year life of the patent (the deemed economic life of the asset), together with the Company’s relationship with its distributor in Dublin and its supply relationship with the distiller of its vodka, which are being amortized over five years and ten years, respectively. Those identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives include the trade names and formulations of the Company’s various products.
		In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded $629,444 as a deferred tax liability representing the income tax effect of the difference between the book and tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company allocated the fair value of the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets, and the additional value ascribed above those fair values was recorded as goodwill.
		The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005 and the nine month period December 31, 2005 were as follows:

			Amount
Balance as of March 31, 2003			$	–

B.		Stock Warrants — The Company has entered into various warrant agreements.
		Common Stock Warrant Issued to the Financing Agent
		On August 29, 2002, in connection with the revolving credit facility, the Company granted to the lender, Keltic Financial Partners, LP (“Keltic”), a warrant to acquire 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $30. On December 1, 2003, the Company enacted a 5-for-1 split of its common stock. To reflect the effect of this stock split, the warrant was adjusted to grant Keltic the right to acquire 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6. The warrant is subject to anti-dilution provisions, upon the occurrence of certain events such as stock splits and stock dividends, vests immediately and is exercisable through September 1, 2014. The Company is not obligated to register the warrant or the underlying shares, except to the extent that, if the Company elected to file a registration statement, Keltic could have the shares underlying its warrant included in that registration statement and the Company would assume all registration costs and other expenses in connection with such registration.

NOTE 15 -	STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (CONT’D)

		The warrant is exercisable at any time. The holder may convert the warrant, in whole or in part, into the number of shares of common stock determined by multiplying the number of shares under this warrant to be converted by the amount by which (a) the fair market value of one share immediately prior to such exercise exceeds (b) the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such exercise divided by the fair market value of one share in effect immediately prior to such exercise. If the shares are not regularly traded in a public market, the Board of Directors in reasonable good faith judgment shall determine the fair market value as follows: the fair value of the warrant is computed at an amount equal to the Enterprise Value divided by the number of outstanding shares of common stock. If the shares are traded regularly in a public market, the fair market value of a share of common stock shall be the closing sales price of the shares reported for the business day immediately before the holder delivers its conversion notice.
		From the date of issuance through September 27, 2005, the warrant contained a put option right that could be exercised by the holder at any time commencing as of September 2006 and ending on the warrant expiration date. Pursuant to that put option right, Keltic had the right to require the Company to purchase the warrant, in whole or in part, for an amount equal to the number of shares as to which Keltic was exercising the put option multiplied by the amount by which (a) the fair market value of one share exceeded (b) the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such exercise of the put option right. The Company would then be obligated to pay the put amount in immediately available funds on the date set; provided however, that if the put amount was greater than $300,000, the Company would pay at least $300,000 on such date and have the option to pay the remainder of the put amount in four equal installments due at the end of each fiscal quarter thereafter, bearing interest at the greater of (a) the prime rate as published by The Wall Street Journal, or in the event that The Wall Street Journal was not available, such rate published in another publication as determined by the holder plus two hundred fifty (250) basis points per annum, or (b) seven percent (7%) per annum, or (c) LIBOR plus five hundred (500) basis points per annum.
		The $282,295 fair value assigned to the warrant was recorded as a financing cost reduction in the value assigned to the loan’s credit facility (debt discount amount). Such amount was recognized over the three-year life of the credit facility as additional interest expense. The Company has recorded interest expense for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 of $54,890, $94,098, and $133,307, respectively. The credit facility was closed in June 2004 and the unaccreted balance recognized as additional interest expense at that time.
		The Company accounted for the warrant and the put option rights as a compound financial instrument in the consolidated financial statements at fair value following the guidelines of EITF 00-19, paragraphs 44 and 45, and paragraphs 11 and 24 of SFAS 150. Changes in the fair value of the compound instrument are recognized in earnings for each reporting period. At March 31, 2004, March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company recorded the fair value of the warrant as a liability included in the balance sheet caption

NOTE 15 -	STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (CONT’D)

		accrued expenses, put warrants payable and derivative instrument of $246,320, $323,146 and $239,952, respectively. For the years ended March 31, 2003, March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, the Company recorded a charge (credit) for the change in the value of the compound financial instrument of $(9,482), $(26,493), $76,825 and $(6,369), respectively. The Company recorded a (credit) of $(18,752) as of September 30, 2005 to reflect the change in fair value of the compound instrument as a result of the amendment discussed below.
		On September 27, 2005, the warrant was amended to eliminate the cash put feature and replace it with certain penalties (up to $200,000) if the shares underlying the warrant have not been registered by June 1, 2007 and June 1, 2008. The Company agreed that if on either June 1, 2007 or June 1, 2008 (a) there are shares of common stock received or issuable upon the exercise of the warrant that have not been registered, and (b) it has not filed a registration statement with respect to which Keltic had the opportunity to register the unregistered shares, the Company would pay Keltic $100,000 within ten (10) days of such dates.
		The Company accounted for the warrant and the registration rights penalty as a derivative following the guidance of EITF 00-19. The Company has concluded that the amendment to the warrant agreement obligating the Company to issue registered shares by the stated dates is dependent both on the Commission’s acceptance of the Company’s registration and on the underwriters’ ability to successfully market the shares. Pursuant to paragraph 14 of EITF 00-19, these factors are beyond the control of the Company and, for this reason, the Company would account for the instrument as if it would be required to be net-cash settled.
		The Company applied EITF 05-04, View A, concluding that the registration rights are inseparable from the underlying warrant and should be accounted for together as a unit (the delivery of unregistered shares, plus the cash penalty, in exchange for the exercise price) and recorded as a liability at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value reported in earnings.
		The Company has reflected the fair value of the combined instrument at December 31, 2005 included in the balance sheet caption accrued expenses, put warrants payable and derivative instrument of approximately $304,000. The change in the fair value of the combined instrument from September 30, 2005 to December 31, 2005 was de minimus.
		Common Stock Warrants Issued to Placement Agents
		In connection with the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company granted, to the placement agents, warrants to acquire approximately 192,118 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $8.00. The Warrants are subject to anti-dilution provisions, such as stock splits and stock dividends, vest immediately and expire at various dates from December 2008 through August 2010. The Company is not obligated to register the warrants or the underlying shares, except to the extent that if the Company

		elects to file a registration statement, the holders can request to have the underlying shares registered. The Company will assume all registration costs and other expenses in connection with such registration.
		The proceeds upon issuance of the Series C preferred stock based upon relative fair values were allocated as follows:

Value allocated to Preferred Stock		$	26,368,971
Value allocated to warrants			461,029
Gross proceeds of preferred stock		$	26,830,000

		The beneficial conversion feature allocated to the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes method as the difference between the beneficial conversion price and the fair value of the Company’s common stock, multiplied by the number of shares into which the Series C Preferred Stock was convertible, in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-27. The beneficial conversion feature allocated to the warrants was recorded immediately as a deemed dividend and reflected in the net loss attributable to common stockholders and an increase in additional paid-in-capital.
		The warrants have conversion rights and can be converted at any time. The holder may convert in whole or in part, into a number of common shares equal to the number of shares under this warrant to be converted, multiplied by the amount by which (a) the fair market value of one share exceeds (b) the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such exercise of the conversion price divided by the fair market value of one share in
		effect immediately prior to such exercise of the conversion price. If the shares are not regularly traded in a public market, the Board of Directors in reasonable good faith judgment shall determine the fair market value as follows: the fair value of the warrant is computed at an amount equal to the Enterprise Value divided by the number of outstanding shares of common stock. If the shares are traded regularly in a public market, the fair market value of a share of common stock shall be the closing sales price of the shares reported for the business day immediately before the holder delivers its conversion notice.
		Common Stock Warrants Issued to Senior Note Holders
		In connection with the issuance of the senior notes in June, September and October 2004, the Company entered into a warrant agreement to grant the right to purchase 116,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at
		an exercise price of $8.00 per share at any time through May 31, 2009. These warrants were recorded at fair value and accounted for as a discount of the face value of the senior notes and a credit to additional paid-in capital of $129,195. This discount will be recognized over the adjusted term of the senior notes with a charge to interest expense and a credit to senior notes payable. For the years ended March 31, 2005 and the nine months ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, the Company

		recorded $30,668 and $25,140 and $22,932 of senior note accretion as additional interest expense.
		Common Stock Warrants Issued to Financial Advisor
		In July 2005, the Company granted to a financial advisor warrants to purchase up to 100,000 shares of common stock at $8.00 per share. The warrants are subject to anti-dilution provisions, such as stock splits and stock dividends, and will vest upon the successful completion of an initial public offering. The Company fair valued the warrant at approximately $284,000 and will record a charge upon vesting.
		Common Stock Warrants Issued in Gosling’s Acquisition
		In connection with the acquisition of the Company’s interest in GCP it agreed to issue warrants to purchase 90,000 shares of common stock at $8.00 per share to three members of the Gosling family and an employee. The Company recorded warrants at fair value as an increase to the purchase price.

Rent expense under operating leases amounted to approximately $60,000, $70,000 and $290,000 and $196,147 and $276,241 for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, and the nine months ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
F.		Pursuant to the distribution agreement signed in March 1998 between the Company and Gaelic, which was amended and restated in April 2001, the Company, which currently owns 60% of the Celtic Crossing brand in the United States, has the option to purchase 70% of the brand outside the United States from Gaelic at a specified price adjusted by interim, annual changes in the Irish Consumer Price Index.
		In the event of the sale of the brand rights by either the Company or Gaelic, the non-selling party shall have the right of first refusal to purchase the interest at the same price as the proposed sale and the right to sell alongside the other party.
		Pursuant to the agreement, the Company is required to pay royalties to Gaelic for each case purchased, such royalties included within cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
G.		The Company is subject to strict federal and state government regulations associated with the marketing, import, warehouse, transport, and distributions of spirits.

		The Company maintains its cash balances at various large financial institutions that, at times, may exceed federally and internationally insured limits. As of March 31, 2004 and 2005, and December 31, 2005, the Company exceeded the insured limit by approximately $6,100,000 and $5,700,000, and $3,500,000, respectively. Management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk because the institutions are international money center banking institutions with strong financial positions.

NOTE 19 -	GOSLING-CASTLE PARTNERS INC. EXPORT AGREEMENT WITH GOSLING’S EXPORT (BERMUDA) LIMITED

		In February 2005, Gosling-Castle Partners Inc. secured the GXB global distribution rights under an Export Agreement (“the Agreement”) with GXB. This agreement calls for GCP to pay $2,500,000 to GXB for the assignment of its global distribution rights in four equal installments at April 1, 2005, October 1, 2005, April 1, 2006 and October 1, 2006. The discounted amount of the note is $126,152. For the year ended March 31, 2005 and the nine months ended December 31, 2005, the Company recognized interest expense of $6,640 and $59,756, respectively, on this note.
		In addition, under the terms of the Export Agreement, GXB has agreed to sell all brands in its portfolio to GCP at its manufacturer’s cost plus a specified producer’s profit. For the years of the agreement, the producer’s profit is a stipulated amount per case, adjusted for certain documented cost increases.
		The Export Agreement gives GCP the right of first refusal to purchase, in the event GXB decides to sell any or all of its trademarks or other intellectual property, at the same price being offered by a bona fide third party offeror. In the event GCP waives its right of first refusal, the Company has an identical right of first refusal. Furthermore, in the event GXB should decide to sell any or all of its portfolio of products either directly or indirectly through the sale of stock of GXB or its parent company to a third party, the agreement contains a formula for GCP to share in the proceeds of the sale of the brand with such share in the sale proceeds up to a stipulated percentage depending upon the number of nine liter equivalent cases of product sold by GCP in the twelve months preceding the sale.
		The Export Agreement commenced on April 1, 2005 and has a 15 year term. It is renewable for additional 15 year terms as long as GCP meets certain case sale targets as set forth in the Agreement.

		The Company has revised the accompanying financial statements to reflect the fair value of Series C Preferred Stock from the date of issuance. As issued, the Series C Preferred Stock did not accrue dividends until December 1, 2005. Increasing rate preferred stock is initially recorded at fair value and the discount amortized over the period preceding the commencement of the perpetual dividend by recording a deemed dividend and increasing the carrying amount of the preferred stock by a corresponding amount. The fair value of the Series C Preferred Stock deemed dividend at December 1, 2003 was $1,259,262. The amortization on the Series C Preferred Stock resulted in a change for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005.

NOTE 23 -	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONT’D)

		The 9% promissory note is due one business day following the closing of the Company’s initial public offering. However, in the event principal and interest outstanding under the 9% promissory note exceed 10% of the net proceeds of the offering (approximately $2.75 million assuming an initial public offering price of $9.00 per share), any such excess principal and interest shall not be due until one day following the one year anniversary of the closing of this offering. The Company may prepay amounts outstanding under this facility at any time through the closing date of this offering at its sole discretion; provided, however, that any principal or interest in excess of 10% of the net proceeds of the offering may not be prepaid. The Company may not borrow any additional amounts under this credit agreement following the closing of this offering.
		An event of default under the February 2006 credit facility occurs if the Company (a) fails to make payment of principal or interest on the maturity date, (b) fails to make payment of any fees or quarterly interest payments when due and after 10 business days of prior written notice to the Company by the lender of the failure to pay, (c) breaches the affirmative covenants contained in the credit agreement and fail to cure the breach generally within 30 days of the breach or (d) becomes insolvent or begin an insolvency proceeding or one is begun against the company and is not dismissed or stayed within 90 days. If an event of default occurs, the lender could declare all principal and interest immediately due and payable and the interest rate will increase by 200 basis points above the current interest rate.
