Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

(a)
Organization :

Attitude Drinks Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, and subsidiary (“the Company”) is a development stage company that is engaged in the development and sale of functional beverages, primarily in the United States.

Attitude Drinks Incorporated (“Attitude” “We” or the “Company”) was formed in Delaware on September 11, 1988 under the name of International Sportfest, Inc.  In January 1994, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Pride Management Services PLC ("PMS").  PMS was a holding company of six subsidiaries in the United Kingdom engaged in the leasing of motor vehicles throughout the United Kingdom.  Simultaneously with the acquisition of PMS, we changed our name to Pride, Inc.  On October 1, 1999, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Mason Hill & Co. and changed its name to Mason Hill Holdings, Inc. During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the operating subsidiary, Mason Hill & Co., was liquidated by the Securities Investors Protection Corporation.  As a result, the Company became a shell corporation whose principal business was to locate and consummate a merger with an ongoing business.

On September 19, 2007, the Company acquired Attitude Drink Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ADCI”), under an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) among Mason Hill Holdings, Inc. (“MHHI”) and ADCI.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of ADCI common stock was converted into 40 shares of Company common stock resulting in the issuance of 4,000,000 shares of Company common stock.  The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger (recapitalization) with ADCI deemed to be the accounting acquirer, and the Company deemed to be the legal acquirer.  Accordingly, the financial information presented in the financial statements is that of ADCI as adjusted to give effect to any difference in the par value of the issuer's and the accounting acquirer's stock with an offset to capital in excess of par value. The basis of the assets, liabilities and retained earnings of ADCI, the accounting acquirer, has been carried over in the recapitalization.  On September 30, 2007, the Company changed its name to Attitude Drinks Incorporated.  Its wholly owned subsidiary, ADCI, was incorporated in Delaware on June 18, 2007. Our principal executive offices are located at 10415 Riverside Drive, Suite 101, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33410.  The telephone number is 561-227-2727.  Our company’s common stock shares (OTCBB:ATTD) began trading June 2008.

The Company is a development stage enterprise as defined by FASB Accounting Standards Codification.  All losses accumulated since the inception of the Company will be considered as part of the Company's development stage activities.  All activities of the Company to date relate to its organization, history, merger of its subsidiary, fundings and product development.  The Company's fiscal year end is March 31.  Its plan of operation during the next twelve months is to focus on the non-alcoholic single serving beverage business, developing and marketing products in two fast growing segments: sports recovery and functional dairy.  We do not directly manufacture our products but instead outsource the manufacturing process to a third party contract packer.

(b) 
Basis of Presentation/Going Concern:

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.  The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 3 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011, which is incorporated herein by reference.  Specific reference is made to that report for a description of the Company’s securities and the notes to consolidated financial statements included therein.  The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to

Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

The results of operations for the six months period ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Attitude Drinks Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Attitude Drink Company, Inc.  All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.  As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had insignificant revenues for the six months period ended September 30, 2011, a working capital deficit of $9,721,641 as of September 30, 2011 and has incurred losses to date resulting in an accumulated deficit of $19,115,631, including derivative income and expense. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities when they come due.  Management’s plan includes obtaining additional funds by debt and/or equity financings; however, there is no assurance of additional funding being available.

(c)

(d)
Prepaid expenses:

Prepaid expenses of $133,291 consist mainly for retainers for legal fees that were paid with shares of the Company’s common stock.  These retainers will be reduced through the incurrence of future legal expenses.

(e) 
Trademarks:

Trademarks consist of costs associated with the acquisition and development of certain trademarks.  Trademarks, when acquired, will be amortized using the straight-line method over 15 years.  Amortization of trademarks for the six months period ended September 30, 2011 was $949.

(f) 
Financial Instruments:

Financial instruments, as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, consist of cash, evidence of ownership in an entity, and contracts that both (i) impose on one entity a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial instrument to a second entity, or to exchange other financial instruments on potentially unfavorable terms with the second entity, and (ii) conveys to that second entity a contractual right (a) to receive cash or another financial instrument from the first entity, or (b) to exchange other financial instruments on potentially favorable terms with the first entity. Accordingly, our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, derivative financial instruments and convertible debt  that we have concluded that some of these items are more akin to debt than equity.  We carry cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities at historical costs; their respective estimated fair values approximate carrying values due to their current nature.

Derivative financial instruments, as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets.

We generally do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, we have entered into certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as debt financing arrangements and freestanding warrants with features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in our financial statements. However, we are allowed to elect fair value measurement of the hybrid financial instruments, on a case-by-case basis, rather than bifurcate the derivative. We believe that fair value measurement of the hybrid convertible promissory notes arising from our October 23, 2007, January 8, 2008, January 27, 2009, March 30, 2009, July 15, 2010, January 21, 2011, March 17, 2011, June 30, 2011 and July 15, 2011 financing arrangements provide a more meaningful presentation of those financial instruments.

(g) 
Income (Loss) Per Common Share:

The basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted income (loss) per common share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per common share except that diluted income per common share includes dilutive common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock method, and assumes that the convertible debt instruments were converted into common stock upon issuance, if dilutive. For the six months ended September 30, 2011, potential common shares arising from the Company’s stock warrants, stock options and convertible debt and preferred stock amounting to 250,805,447 shares were included in the computation of diluted income per share.

(h) 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Applicable to the Company:

Recent accounting pronouncements - We have reviewed accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. We have evaluated all the recent accounting pronouncements through the date the financial statements were issued and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and believe that none of them will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
