	•	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 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.

Table of Contents

	•	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 27 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 3,000,000 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 3,000,000 shares of common stock in the proposed initial public offering at an assumed public offering price of $9.00 per share;

		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.
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.

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

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 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:

		Year Ended March 31												Nine Months Ended
		2003				2004				2005				December 31, 2004				December 31, 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 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 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

		FASB Statement 123 (Revision 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” was issued in December 2004 and 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 FAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. The Company is required to adopt FAS 123(R) beginning April 1, 2006. The Company expects that the adoption of FAS 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 FAS 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 FAS 123. The Company has not yet determined the impact of FAS 123(R) on its compensation policies or plans, if any.
		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.

		NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
U.		Research and Development Costs - The costs of research, development and product improvement are charged to expense as incurred and is 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 a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Share-Based Payment,” referred to as SFAS 123(R), which 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 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 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 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, we are required to adopt the provisions of SFAS 123(R) at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2007. While we currently disclose the pro-forma earnings effects of our stock-based awards, we are evaluating the impact the implementation guidance and revisions included in SFAS 123(R) will have on our consolidated financial statements.
		In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs,” an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, referred to as SFAS No. 151. SFAS No. 151 amends Accounting Research Bulletin (“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. We believe our current accounting policies closely align to the new rules. Accordingly, we do not believe this new standard will have a material impact on our 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. We do not believe that adoption of EITF 03-1 will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
		In November 2004, the FASB reached a conclusion with respect to EITF Issue No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per Share,” referred to as EITF 04-8. 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, we will no longer have contingently convertible debt instruments and EITF 04-8 will have no impact on the calculation of our 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,” referred to as SFAS 154). This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and FASB Statement 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. SFAS 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

		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 fact that the distribution agreement has a zero 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

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 which is deemed the 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 ten years and five 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			$	–

When the sum of expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized based on the fair value of the asset.

		In connection with the credit facilities as described in notes 9 and 10, personal guarantees of the two former managing directors of CB Ireland and CB-UK in the amount of €158,717 were cancelled and replaced with a deposit of cash collateral of €300,000, or $387,494 and $355,333 (as translated at the exchange rate in effect on March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2005, respectively).

NOTE 15 -	STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

	A.	Stock Options – In July 2003, the Company implemented the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (“the Plan”) which provides for awards of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights for its officers, employees, consultants and directors in order to attract and retain such individuals who contribute to the Company’s success by their ability, ingenuity and industry knowledge, and to enable such individuals to participate in the long-term success and growth of the Company by giving them an equity interest in the Company. There are 2,000,000 common shares reserved and available for distribution under the Plan. In January 2004, the Board of Directors approved the Plan and granted 553,000 options to its full-time U.S. and international employees at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. These options vest over a three, four or five year period and expire ten years after the grant date.
		In connection with the Company’s acquisition of CB Ireland and CB-UK, the Company granted to an individual the option to purchase up to 10,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share at any time through November 30, 2013.
		The Company continues to account for stock based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Compensation cost for stock options, if any, is measured

B.		Stock Warrants – The Company has entered into various warrant agreements.
		Common Stock Warrants 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”) warrants to acquire 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $30. On December 1, 2003, the Company enacted a 5-for-1 reverse split on its common stock. To reflect the effects of this stock split, the warrants were adjusted to grant Keltic the right to acquire 100,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $6. The warrants are subject to anti-dilution provisions, such as stock splits and stock dividends, vest immediately and are exercisable through September 1, 2012. The Company was not obligated to register the warrants 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 warrants included in that registration statement and the Company will assume all registration costs and other expenses in connection with such registration.
		The warrants were subsequently amended in September 2005 to amend the warrant holder’s registration rights with respect to the Company’s initial public offering, eliminate
		a cash put to the Company (described below) and provide certain penalties if the shares underlying the warrants have not been registered by June 29, 2007 and June 29, 2008. In connection with the amended and restated warrant agreement, 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 will pay Keltic $100,000 within ten (10) days of such date.
		The ability to deliver registered shares is dependent both on the Commission’s approval of the company’s registration statement and the underwriters’ abilities to successfully market the shares. Pursuant to paragraph 14 of EITF 00-19, these factors are beyond the control of the company. Accordingly, the Company has recorded the registration rights as an embedded derivative with the penalty provision recorded as a liability at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value reported in earnings.

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

		The value assigned to the warrants was recorded as a financing cost reduction in the value assigned to the loan’s credit facility (discount amount) and an increase in additional paid-in-capital. The amount of $282,295 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 $133,306, respectively. The facility was closed in June 2004 and the unaccreted balance was recognized as additional interest expense in that period.
		The Company recognizes the warrant and the put warrant rights as a compound financial instrument in the consolidated financial statements at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the compound instrument are recognized in earnings. At March 31, 2003, March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 the company has recorded the fair value of the warrant as a liability included in the caption accrued expenses and put warrants payable of $272,813, $246,320, $323,146, $239,952 and $304,392, respectively. For the years ended March 31, 2003, March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 the company has recorded a charge (credit) for the change in the value of the derivative financial instrument of $(9,482), $(26,493), $76,825, $(6,369) and $(18,752), respectively.
		The warrants are exercisable at any time. The holder may convert the warrants, in whole or in part, into the 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.
		Prior to the September 2005 amendment of Keltic’s warrant agreement, the warrants had a put right that could be exercised by the holder at any time commencing as of September 2006 and prior to the expiration date. Pursuant to that put right, Keltic had the right to
		require the Company to purchase in whole or in part, for an amount equal to the number of shares as to which Keltic was exercising 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 right. The Company would have then been 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 have paid at least $300,000 on such date and had 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 prime rate as published by The Wall Street Journal, or in the event that The Wall Street Journal

		Common Stock Warrants Issued to the 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.

		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, increasing over time.
		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 during the initial term as set forth in the Agreement.

		fair value of the derivative financial instrument at each reporting period presented in the Statement of Operations.
		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.
		The Company has revised the accompanying financial statements to reflect the amortization of the Comans and Carbery intangibles which have been reclassified from indefinite lived assets to intangible assets with an estimated life of five years and ten years, respectively. The amortization of the intangibles resulted in a change in the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005.

		issued a promissory note bearing interest at the rate of 9% per annum, payable at maturity. In addition, the Company paid a $100,000 facility fee upon receipt of these funds.
		These 9% promissory notes are 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 $2.3 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 up to approximately $2.3 million of the 9% promissory notes at any time in its sole discretion. 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, (b) fails to make payment of any fees or interest 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.
