Management Discussion and Analysis
Revenue
We earned revenues of $85,119 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to revenues of $117,296 for the three months June 30, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 we earned revenues of $88,575 compared to $224,091 for the corresponding period in 2014. Revenues decreased in the three and six months periods as a result budget constraints leading to decreased production and a lack of new season inventory.

Management Discussion and Analysis
Revenue
We earned revenues of $384,120 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to revenues of $862,198 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Decreased revenues in 2014 can be attributed to our inability to produce and deliver a full collection of seasonal wholesale orders due to cash flow constraints. In addition, our branded retail outlet in London was inoperable in October and November 2014 due to the Company’s inability to pay employee wages.

Item 4.01 Changes in Registration’s Certifying Accountant
Horiyoshi Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company”) was recently advised by its independent registered accounting firm, EFP Rotenberg, LLP (“EFPR”), of its intention to cease serving as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm upon the Company identifying a successor firm. The Company understands that the basis for EFPR’s decision is that EFPR has made a strategic decision to serve public companies in roles other than as the independent auditor. On December 22, 2014 the Company engaged MaloneBailey, LLP ("MaloneBailey") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, and EFPR resigned as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. MaloneBailey is headquartered in Houston, Texas. The decision to engage MaloneBailey was approved by the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors. EFPR has informed the Company that it will cooperate and assist with an orderly transition of audit firms and the Company has authorized EFPR to respond fully to any inquiries of the successor auditor.
EFPR’s reports on the financial statements of the Company for each of the past two fiscal years have neither contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor been qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that, the reports included an explanatory paragraph with respect to the uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the past two fiscal years and in the subsequent interim period through December 23, 2014, there were (i) no disagreements with EFPR on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of EFPR, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports, and (ii) there were no reportable events (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except that, EFPR advised the Company that there were material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting, which the Company agreed with and disclosed in its Form 10-K’s for the years ended December 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

Management Discussion and Analysis
Revenue
We earned revenues of $141,408 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to revenues of $128,084 for the three months September 30, 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 we earned revenues of $365,499 compared to $652,445 for the corresponding period in 2013. Revenues increased in the three month period due to decreased retail prices at our branded London store. Revenues decreased for the nine month period due to a significant decline in 2014 wholesale sales as well as decreased sales of prior season inventory to wholesale discounters.
For the three months ended September 30, 2014 expenses increased $490,409, or 158%, to $801,375 as compared to $310,966 for the corresponding period in 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 expenses increased $208,181 or 17%, to $1,444,427 as compared to $1,236,246 for the corresponding period in 2013. This increase can be attributed to a the recognition of $557,842 in stock compensation expense for the issuance of shares to directors, officers, employees and various vendors for services rendered.

We earned revenues of $862,198 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to revenues of $1,017,108 for the year ended December 31, 2012. Decreased revenues in 2013 can be attributed to our inability to produce and deliver a full collection for our fall/winter 2013 seasonal wholesale orders due to cash flow constraints. These decreases were offset by increased direct to consumer sales from our branded retail store in London and our branded website.
